“Alright, it doesn’t matter where I am. It’s all the same to me. Bartitsu Guild is bustling, but staying here
isn’t particrly interesting. I might as well go with you to Lordsworth Estate.”
After he finished speaking, he made a small additional request.
“By the way, you did promise me before that you’d cook something delicious for me. When we’re at
Lordsworth Estate, it would be time for you to fulfill that promise, wouldn’t it?”
Neera chuckled. “Of course. When the timees, you’ll be staying at the Gordon residence. Just let
me know what you’d like to eat, and I’ll make it for you!”
After discussing the matter, Neera thought for a moment and then asked him another question.
“Mr. Weaver, you’ve lived in Bartitsu Guild for so long, there’s something I’d like to ask you. I wonder if
you know.”
“Go ahead, what’s the matter?”
“Um… It’s about the Cox family’s armory.”
Upon hearing these words, Finnley’s eyes narrowed. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes extended
backward as he gazed at her thoughtfully.
“I knew it. You’re always up to something. So, you’ve been waiting for me here, haven’t you? What is
it? Do you suspect the Cox family, or Bartitsu Guild?”

Neera touched her nose and said, “Neither. I naturally trust the Cox family. As for what Matthew told
me, I don’t believe a single word.”
“What did Matthew say to you?”
Neera rted Matthew’s words to him.
After hearing this, Finnley sniggered. “Nonsense. I’m really surprised that Matthew coulde up with
it. Does he think everyone else is a fool? Do you know how big the armory is? It’s not just any ordinary
warehouse that you can build whenever you want, especially under the watchful eyes of Bartitsu Guild.
It seems that Matthew will stop at nothing to win you over.’
Neera also thought the same. “He even said that if I didn’t believe him, I could ask others in the union.
He imed that there are still people who know about what happened back then.”
“What a bunch of nonsense! Those people are all on his side. Of course they’re in cahoots with him,
parroting the same lines.”
Neera nodded, then asked again, “Mr. Weaver, do you know who in Bartitsu Guild is aware of the
original armory incident? Or, is there anyone within the guild who was particrly close to the Cox
family at that time?”
Finnley paused for a moment, not quite understanding the question. “Why are you asking this?”
Neera hummed in response. “It’s just a spection at this point, as I’ve no evidence or clues yet. I’m
just asking casually.”
After some thought, Finnley replied, “It’s been a long time since then, and I’ve never paid much
attention to the Cox family. I also don’t have much contact with Bartitsu Guild. I spend my days here in
this fittin

just asking casually.”
After some thought, Finnley replied, “It’s been a long time since then, and I’ve never paid much
attention to the Cox family. I also don’t have much contact with Bartitsu Guild. I spend my days here in
this fighting arts center, so I’m not very informed about their affairs. However, one thing I can confirm is
that when the previous head of the Cox family was still in power, their rtionship with Bartitsu Guild
was not bad, but it wasn’t particrly good either. It was merely due to their position on the board of
elders that they had necessary interactions. Overall, my impression is that the guild once tried to
control the Cox family, but they were unsessful.”
“The guild tried to control the Cox family? What happened?” Neera was somewhat surprised.
Finnley thought for a moment, then said, “I can’t recall the specifics. Why don’t you go back and ask
your uncle? He should know the details.”
Neera simply hummed in response and didn’t ask anything further.
When she returned to the Gordon residence, she was surprised to find that Shane hade back.
“Shane, howe you’re here? Aren’t you supposed to be in District Twenty-Three? Did something
happen over there?”
The travel-worn Shane had only just returned not long ago and had just managed to find time to take a
few sips of water.
Upon seeing her, he gave a slight smile, walked over, and affectionately ruffled her hair.
“Don’t worry. Everything is fine over there. There’s nothing urgent for now, so I came back early. I heard
you and Jean have registered your marriage. Why didn’t you tell me about such a major event? I feel
like you’re not treating me as your brother.”
Neera stuck out her tongue. “I’m sorry, Shane. I didn’t mean to. It was just that everything happened so
suddenly. Not long after we registered our marriage, Jean’s father had an ident. We had to rush
back to our country and didn’t have time to notify you.”
Shaneughed heartily. “Don’t worry about it. Now that I’ve returned, let’s spend some quality time
together as a family.”
Neera chuckled and nodded.
At this moment, Shane asked again, “Has the decision to move to Lordsworth Estate been made?”
When he was in District Twenty-Three, he had already heard Chad talk about it, and he didn’t object to
it.
Neera hummed in affirmation. “We’re just waiting for the right moment.”
“I heard you went to the fighting arts center to see Mr. Weaver, what did he say?”
“He said that it doesn’t matter where he is, so he’s willing to go to Lordsworth Estate with us.
“That’s good to hear. Mr. Weaver has been alone for so many years, with the Gordon family being his
only close friends. He and my Uncle Chad have always had a good rtionship. It’s nice that they can
be together.”
As the two were conversing, Chad emerged from the study and descended the stairs.
