Chapter 1468
Darren responded, “The exact reason is still unclear for now. It seems like it’s the trouble that the
Logan family had stirred up before. They took advantage of the Logan family’s current vulnerability to
seek revenge. On one hand, they’ve brought down several of the Logan family’spanies. On the
other hand, they’ve been causing all sorts of disturbances at various business premises owned by the
Logan family, creating quite a ruckus.”
Matthew found the matter very strange and asked, “Which family is it? Do you know?”
With such amotion, it was impossible not to know who the other party was.
Darren nodded, but his expression was somewhat peculiar as he responded, “I-It’s the Massey family.”
“The Massey family?” Upon hearing that, Matthew was somewhat surprised. “Does the Massey family
really have such capability? No matter what, the Logan family was once a first-rate family in Bartitsu
Guild. Their decline was due to the Gordon family’s affairs, but their overall strength was not bad at all.
How could the Massey family possibly have defeated the Logan family?”
That was exactly what Darren found strange. “I’ve looked into it. The Massey family and the Logan
family weren’t on good terms. Years ago, the Logan family was always bullying others because of their
power, wanting to swallow up the properties of several families, including the Massey family. However,
the Massey family managed to hold on and didn’t let the Logan family get what they wanted. That’s
how the feud between the two families started. Later, during the election for the district president, the
Logan family made a move against the Gordon family, and the Massey family got involved. The feud
grew deeper and deeper. It seems that because of this, the Massey family started toe up with
schemes. Logically speaking, the Massey family shouldn’t be as powerful as the Logan family. But
what’s strange about this incident is that the Massey family acted swiftly and decisively. Not only did
they catch the Logan family off guard, but they also inflicted heavy losses on them without suffering any
damage themselves. The fact that they could fight the Logan family to this extent and stille out
unscathed shows that the Massey family’s current strength is far beyond what we thought.”
Upon hearing that, Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Are you suggesting that the Massey family
deliberately concealed their strength? So, from the current perspective, could the Massey family
actually rank among the first-rate families?”
Darren hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “You could say that, but up until now, I haven’t been able
to figure out why the Massey family’s strength has increased so rapidly and why they would want to
hide their power.”
After careful consideration, Matthew felt increasingly uneasy, prompting him to be on high alert. “Keep
a low profile. This path, I’m afraid, might turn us into the second Gordon family. Keep a closer eye on
the Massey family. If necessary, feel free to probe a bit to see just how strong the Massey family really
is.”
Darren nodded. “Yes.”
Then, Matthew asked, “How is Howard doing now? Is there still hope for him?”
Speaking of which, Darren moistened the corner of his lips and said, “Even if he could be saved, he
would still be crippled.”

Matthew was unperturbed. “Since he’s already a discarded piece, there’s no need to keep him around.
It’s better to avoid him spilling any secrets. Find some time and send someone to take care of him.
Also, what’s the current situation with the Logan family? With the head of the family in this state, there
must be some who can’t hold back anymore, right?”

“Mr. Lozano, you truly have a knack for predicting things. Now that Howard has fallen, the Logan family
has started infighting. They’ve even stopped caring about their businesses, all vying for the position of
family head. It looks like it’s going to get bloody.”
Matthew sneered, “A bunch of good-for-nothings. The Logan family is already on the decline, yet they
still vie for the position of family head. What’s the point? It would be better to abandon the sinking ship
and find a strong ally. These people are so brainless, preferring to be the head of a dog than the tail of
a lion. There’s no need to bother with them. I believe they’ll soon realize that there’s no hope of
survival…”
Darren nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “So… Mr. Lozano, are we just going to let the Gordon family
matter slide? And what about the five districts? Are we not going to fight for the districts?”
Clearly, Darren had hit a sore point. Matthew’s face immediately fell when he heard that. He shot
Darren a sidelong nce and asked fiercely, “I do want to fight, but how should I go about it right now?
Why don’t you suggest something?”
Darren was taken aback for a moment. “Well…”
“Hmph! You’re useless! You can’t evene up with a solution, yet you have the audacity to question
me. What good are you?” Matthew roared.
Whenever that was brought up, Matthew was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent. All he could do
was scold Darren harshly.
Darren hung his head low, not daring to even breathe. He silently chastised himself for speaking out of
turn and could only bear it in silence.
After a moment, Matthew’s emotions settled down, and he said coldly, “Even if the Gordon family and
the Cox family have left Bartitsu Guild and sided with Lordsworth Estate, they still shouldn’t just sit back
and rx. There’s still a long way to go. Until the very end, who knows who will ultimately fall? Even if
they want to sever ties with Bartitsu Guild, they have been entrenched here for so many years. Do they
think they can uproot themselvespletely? Ha! They’re dreaming!”
At this point, a trace of malice swept across the murkiness in Matthew’s eyes.
Meanwhile, when Neera arrived at District One, her eyes were filled with curiosity.
Looking at the manor before her, she was utterly mesmerized. The manor before my eyes is
iparably grander than the Gordon residence at Bartitsu Guild. The environment is beautiful, and
the architecture is grand. One can’t help but feel refreshed and vivifying!
Neera couldn’t help but exim, “Wow!” With her face full of surprise, she asked, “Is this the residence
arranged for us by the Lordsworth Estate? It’s so luxurious…
“It’s not bad, right? This manor may not be thergest in District One, but it certainly has the best
environment and the most thoughtful design. It was once one of the residences of His Lordship. It has
been vacant for some time, but His Lordship specifically instructed us to clear it out for the Gordon
family. It has even been renovated. All the paperwork has been taken care of, so you can live here
without any worries. Also, given therge area of this ce, we were afraid that your family, being new
here, might be short-staffed. Therefore, His Lordship has specially arranged for some people toe
over. But rest assured, they are all assigned to do misceneous tasks and won’t be allowed into the
mansion.” Caleb smiled slightly. In reality, there’s absolutely no need to do so. How could His Lordship
possibly harm the Gordon family? However, His Lordship likely acted this way to prevent the Gordon
family from misunderstanding his intentions. The people he sent are genuinely here to help manage the
affairs of the Gordon family, not to keep them under surveince. After all, the Gordon family still knows
nothing about His Lordship. It’s only natural for everyone to be cautious.
With that in mind, Caleb sneakily nced at Jean, who was standing quietly by the side, his expression
indifferent. Caleb couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. My Lord is so mighty, but in the face of love, he truly
seems to have transformed into a different person. Tsk! How rare.
On the other hand, Neera wasn’t at all dubious. Somewhat embarrassed, she expressed his gratitude
by saying, “I’ve caused His Lordship trouble and also inconvenienced you all. I’m truly very thankful…”
