    Matthew chuckled coldly. “Indeed, the Bartitsu Guild will not deprive the autonomy of the families under


    itsmand, but it’s not aplete indulgence either. Otherwise, what kind of mess would the guild


    get into? We would be aughingstock! Some things are better prevented before they happen!”


    Neera raised one end of her dark eyebrows slightly. “Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Lozano? I don’t quite


    understand.”


    “You don’t quite understand?” Matthew nced at her sideways. “I think you’re just pretending to be


    confused when you actually know what’s going on.”


    Neera replied evasively, “Mr. Lozano, you’ve misunderstood. I truly don’t know what you’re trying to


    say. I’m a straightforward person. I don’t like beating around the bush. If you have something to say,


    just say it. There’s no need to be so secretive and speak in riddles here.”


    “Hmph!” Matthew sneered disdainfully. “You think I enjoy wasting my time here with you? I’ve kept


    silent until now, not wanting to embarrass you, to leave you some dignity. Neera, why do


    you think I promoted you to the second elder seat? Just as you said, you’re nothing more than an


    inexperienced individual with no qualifications. You’re unfamiliar with Phison, and even your


    understanding of the Gordon family is not clear enough. You do have some self-awareness, but why do


    you think I insist on promoting you, giving you this respect? It’s all to knock some sense into you! Yet,


    you fail to appreciate it. Do you really think you’re something special?”


    He added, “Do you really think I can’t see through your little schemes? Aren’t you just like the Cox


    family, wanting to establish your own power? But let me tell you, as long as you’re in the Bartitsu Guild,


    you can only be an affliated force of the guild! Don’t think about ying mind games with me. I’m notContent rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    taking action against the Gordon family because I don’t want to make things ugly and be a


    laughingstock. But if you insist on not knowing your ce, then don’t me me for being rude!”


    Neera remained utterly calm andposed.


    All of this was within her expectations. Just a moment ago, she had been curious about how much


    longer Matthew could endure.


    Looks like he has reached his limit.


    Well, this might be for the best. What’s meant toe will always find its way. It’s about time the


    Gordon family and the Bartitsu Guild settle their scores.


    With these thoughts, Neera didn’t feel nervous at all, but rather, she felt incredibly rxed.


    The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, yet the smile on her lips became ever more radiant.


    Such a smile, however, increasingly irritated Matthew and Darren. They felt as if their attack was in


    vain.


    “What are youughing at? Is this your attitude?” Matthew questioned.


    Neera didn’t respond to him immediately. Instead, she leisurely picked up an orange for herself. As she


    peeled it, she replied to him without even lifting her head, “Of course I amughing at you.”


    This sentence immediately made Matthew so angry that his beard quivered. His eyes wide open in fury,


    he raised his voice and demanded, “What do you mean?”

    An orange peel fell onto the coffee table. Neera popped a segment into her mouth and took a couple of


    bites. Instantly, the sweet and sour taste filled her entire mouth.


    Neera narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Paired with Matthew’s expression, she found it even more


    tasty.


    “It’s just as it sounds, Mr. Lozano. You’ve lived so long, yet how can you still not understand the


    meaning of words? I think the Bartitsu Guild is too arrogant, thinking they can do whatever they want.


    They’re just a clown, not knowing how many people areughing at the Bartitsu Guild and discussing


    their disgracefulness behind their backs.”


    “You-”


    These words were shockingly direct that Matthew, who was usually soposed, couldn’t help but be


    taken aback at this moment.


    He had lived for most of his life, yet he had never encountered anyone who dared to speak to him in


    such a manner or dared to discuss the Bartitsu Guild so openly.


    Suddenly, his face changed dramatically. With the support of his cane, he shakily stood up, pointing at


    Neera. His voice trembled as he spoke.


    “How dare you speak such vile words! This is outrageous! Do you really think the Gordon family can


    actwlessly?”


    Neera was unbothered. “You consider this too much? Then what would you call the things the Bartitsu


    Guild has done?”


    Since the gloves were already off, she had nothing to hold back. She decided to just let it all out and


    get it off her chest.


    “Do


    you think you’re doing a good job? Do you believe that no one knows what you’ve done or that no one


    dares to object? Well, let me tell you the truth. Everyone knows about the terrible things you’ve done.


    There’s no one who doesn’t. Everyone is disgusted by your actions, yet you alone are still feeling


    smug, thinking you’re wless. The Bartitsu Guild, known for their cunning and suspicious nature, have


    no tolerance for others. Their methods are extremely underhanded, a fact known to all. Yet, this time,


    you’ve taken things to an extreme. The Cox family, who have always been diligent and dedicated to the


    Bartitsu Guild, are such a loyal n, yet you’ve plotted against them in every possible way!”


    She continued, “First, you sent them to aplish a task that even the Bartitsu Guild could not


    complete: to take over the Jagger family on Adieu Ind. Then, after the Cox family’s head set off, you


    secretly manipted things against the Cox family, trying every possible means to suppress them.


    Fortunately, the Cox family returned in glory, sessfullypleting the task. But instead of showing


    gratitude, you became even more apprehensive. Not only did you not intervene in the infighting of the


    Bartitsu Guild, punishing those families that were at fault, but you also let them stir up trouble against


    the Cox family. You even joined their ranks to suppress the Cox family, fabricating unfounded charges


    against them. Now, the Cox family has already left, yet you still want topletely eliminate them. How


    many people are truly willing to follow such a force?”


    At this point, she let out a series of cold, mockingughs.


    “In fact, it’s not just the Cox family, but the Gordon family have also long be a thorn in the side of


    the Bartitsu Guild. Ever since I gained control of the five districts, you’ve been coveting it. However, due


    to the presence of Lordsworth Estate, you didn’t dare to act openly. Later on, even though you made


    me an elder of the Bartitsu Guild, it was to better control me. Now, by elevating my status and that of


    the Gordon family, it’s even more so! On one hand, you want to use the power of the Gordon family to


    deal with the Cox family, to eliminate dissidents. On the other hand, you’re looking for an opportunity to


    snatch the position of district president from my hands!”
