    91%


    Netizen A: Is this true? The Cox family has served the Bartitsu Guild for generations. How could they


    suddenly switch to Lordsworth Estate? Can we trust this news?


    Netizen B: What are you thinking? This is an official statement from the Bartitsu Guild. How can it be


    false? The Cox family leaving the Bartitsu Guild for Lordsworth Estate is a done deal.


    Netizen C: I always felt that the Cox family has been acting mysteriously these past few days, going in


    and out of District Fourteen. So, they were actually moving. But why?


    Netizen D: What else could it be? It’s definitely because of internal strife. The Bartitsu Guild unjustly


    med the Cox family, using unfounded usations. The Cox family is certainly not pleased and is


    ready to break ties, bing sworn enemies with them. I must say, the Bartitsu Guild is being unfair.


    After all, the Cox family has served the guild for many years. Even if they haven’t made significant


    contributions, they’ve certainly put in the effort. Moreover, the new head of the Gordon family, who


    managed to secure the position of district president, also owes part of her sess to the Cox family.


    Not long ago, the Bartitsu Guild even sent the Cox family to take over Adieu Ind and deal with the


    Jagger family. How can they turn their backs on them so easily? Don’t they have any shame?


    Netizen E: Exactly. If I were the head of the Cox family, I would have rebelled too!


    Netizen F: What’s going on here? It feels like a fight is about to break out. I hope the innocent aren’t


    caught in the crossfire. I’m scared…


    Soon, different voices emerged.


    Netizen G: I’m siding with the Bartitsu Guild on this one. The Cox family has been serving the guild for


    many years, and the guild has never treated the Cox family unfairly. The guild has rewarded the Cox


    family for their past contributions, promoting the head of the Cox family to be the second elder.


    This kind of promotion is not something everyone can achieve. Some families don’t even get this


    opportunity for generations. Isn’t this significant enough?


    Netizen H: Exactly. Who said it was the Bartitsu Guild who falsely used them? Do you have any


    evidence? You’re just talking nonsense here, distorting right and wrong. Isn’t it a fact that the Cox


    family built an armory on their own? What was the purpose of building this armory? Is it because they


    have nothing better to do or is it for smuggling and trading?


    Netizen I: It’smon knowledge that Phison does not allow the use and private possession of


    firearms. Have some people be senile that they can’t even remember this?


    Netizen J: The Cox family clearly deserves what’sing to them. They suddenly attacked other


    families before, and now they’re stirring up this kind of trouble: In my opinion, it’s the Cox family who


    should be ashamed.


    These voices, without a doubt, were either from the Cox family’s enemies or the inte trolls sent by


    the Bartitsu Guild.

    They needed this to make their move against the Cox family.


    While the inte was buzzing with uproar, there was also unrest within the Cox family.


    The elders of the Cox family had been at odds for several days over the matter of leaving the Bartitsu


    Guild to join Lordsworth Estate.


    The faction that agreed with Avery was primarily led by the first elder, Rio, and the second elder,


    Ronald.


    10:33 Wed, 29 Nov D


    As for the opposition, it was the third elder who always enjoyed going against Avery, Albert.


    Ever since Avery drove Phoebe out of the Cox family, Albert’s attitude toward Avery had be


    increasingly confrontational.


    “I’ll say it again. I disagree with moving to Lordsworth Estate.”


    At this moment, he mmed the table with a thunderous bang, emphasizing his opinion with a booming


    voice.


    Rio furrowed his brows. “Albert, calm down.”


    “I can’t stay calm!” Albert swung his hand in a fit of rage. “Everyone outside is saying that the Cox


    family is a traitor to the Bartitsu Guild for siding with the guild’s sworn enemy! Such a huge usation


    is being thrown at us. You can ept it, but I can’t!”


    After he finished shouting, he turned around, ring at Avery with seething anger.


    “Avery, I think you’re regressing with age toe up with such a low-grade idea! What do you think


    Lordsworth Estate is? Is it a ce the Cox family can get involved with? You must have forgotten that


    the Cox family is the core family of the Bartitsu Guild. What business do we have going to Lordsworth


    Estate? Do you think they genuinely wee us? How naive! Perhaps Lordsworth Estate is plotting to


    swallow the Cox family whole! When that happens, are you going to let the entire Cox family pay for


    your foolishness?”


    As he was shouting, spit was flying everywhere. In the heat of the moment, he was also pointing


    directly at Avery.


    Violet’s gaze deepened, and with a swift movement, she stood in front of Albert.


    “If you point your finger at him recklessly again, I’ll break it. Try me if you don’t believe me.”


    Albert knew she was one to practice what she preached, which startled him momentarily. However, he


    put on a brave face, ignoring her, and stiffly turned his neck to look past her at Avery.


    “Avery, I’m discussing something with you right now. Are you sure you want this young girl to interfere?


    What does this have to do with her?”


    Avery sat in the main seat, not even bothering to lift his eyelids,pletely ignoring everything around


    him.


    Seeing this, Albert gritted his teeth, but in the end, he still lowered his hand.


    With a coldugh, Violet stepped aside, retreating behind Avery.


    Albert continued to express his thoughts, “Even if Lordsworth Estate truly wants to ept the Cox


    family, have you ever considered the reason behind it? As you mentioned, they only expect the Cox


    family to maintain a low profile and not demand our services. How is that even possible? Are you


    dreaming, or are they? Can Lordsworth Estate truly be so generous? I refuse to believe this absurdity.


    They might be scheming to exploit you at this very moment. Have you ever thought about how


    Lordsworth Estate will perceive the Cox family? They will view us as opportunistic traitors, as


    individuals who shamelessly seek refuge in their territory! The Cox family will be a subject of


    ridicule! Avery, you may be willing to sacrifice your reputation for survival, but we, the Cox family, still


    hold our dignity in high regard. Have you considered how you will justify your actions to our ancestors


    when you meet them in the afterlife?”
