He made up his mind. All that was left was to wait for Avery’s health to improve.

During this period, the Cox family was in the midst of a struggle.

The Hoffman family, the Quigley family, and the Watson family had been constantly complaining these days.

The Bartitsu Guild had been quiet, leaving one to wonder what they were up to.

But the Cox family knew that the guild wouldn’t ignore these matters forever.

Sure enough, a week later, Matthew suddenly called a meeting.

Avery had not fully regained consciousness, so Rio as the first elder went in his place.

When he arrived, he discovered that only the Quigley family, the Hoffman family, the Watson family, and the Cox family were participating in the meeting.

He wasn’t particularly surprised. After calmly taking a seat, he directly asked Matthew, “Mr. Lozano, what’s the purpose of suddenly calling this meeting today, and only involving a few families?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Hoffman and Quigley families could no longer hold back. They all rose in unison, slamming the table and hurling a barrage of accusations at him.

“The audacity of you to ask that! Stop playing dumb here. You know exactly what the purpose is.”

“The good deeds the Cox family has done should have been directly judged by the neutral faction. It’s the president and vice president who were soft-hearted, considering how long the Cox family has been in the guild. That’s why they turned a blind eye, convened this meeting, and accorded the Cox family with respect and dignity. If you know what’s good for you, confess now about all the mess the Cox family has made!”

Facing the furious reprimands of these two individuals, Rio remained remarkably composed.

“Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Gary, I merely asked a question. Why are you being so harsh? You’re saying things I don’t understand.”

The first elder of the Quigley family, Gary Quigley, was so angry that his face turned bright red as he repeatedly slammed the table.

“You’re still playing dumb with us! Don’t think we’re unaware that our family head was killed by the Cox family! How could a perfectly fine car suddenly lose control?”

Rio narrowed his eyes meaningfully. “I’m surprised and sorry about Mr. Quigley’s death, but without evidence, blaming it on the Cox family is unjustifiable, isn’t it? Mr. Gary, if I remember correctly, our two families have always had a good relationship. And Mr. Hoffman, our two families have had long-term business dealings. Why the sudden betrayal now? What’s the reason behind this?”

“Betrayal? You’re hardly in a position to say such a thing! Who exactly is the betrayer here? Do you really think we’re fools? How could several elders of the Hoffman family be suddenly kidnapped and directly eliminated? Do you think your actions are foolproof? If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve nothing to fear. Today, we’re here to seek justice!”

The two of them were arguing back and forth.

The elder of the Watson family, Keith Watson, was rather quiet, sitting in the rosewood chair without uttering a word, leaving others wondering what he was thinking.

Seek justice? The Cox family hasn’t even sought justice yet, and these perpetrators are the ones crying out first. How ironic.

He paused for a couple of seconds, then calmly said, “I don’t understand why you’re accusing the Cox family like this, Mr. Lozano. Perhaps you could clarify what exactly is going on?”

Matthew had been silent all along. His expression darkened when the problem was thrown at him.

He looked at the Hoffman and Quigley family members, impatiently telling them to sit down.

“Enough! Look at you all, bickering and shouting. What a spectacle! You were brought here to resolve issues, not to escalate conflicts! If you truly feel wronged, the guild will naturally seek justice for you. We will not cover up for anyone, nor will we favor anyone. So, rest assured.”

Hearing that, the representatives of the Quigley family and the Hoffman family reluctantly took their seats.

However, they were still glaring at Rio as if they were sworn enemies.

Rio didn’t care in the slightest. He maintained his calm and composed expression, casually sitting and waiting for Matthew’s next words.

“Rio, since Avery is still unconscious, you’ll have to take charge of the Cox family’s affairs. I presume you’ve been directing everything recently, haven’t you?”

Rio nodded. “That’s correct. Is there a problem?”

Matthew rubbed his eyes, his expression somber as he said, “Recently, the Quigley family, the Hoffman family, and the Watson family have been experiencing a series of mishaps. You’re aware of this, aren’t you?”

Rio nodded again. “I am. What about it?”.

“Currently, all three families have lodged complaints with the guild, accusing the Cox family of being responsible. These incidents happened separately, but they all point to the Cox family. I don’t think this is a coincidence, so I called you over to understand more about this matter.”

Rio’s expression remained unchanged as he asked him, “May I ask, Mr. Lozano, what are your plans after understanding the situation?”

Matthew said, “We will act according to the rules, of course.”

Upon hearing this, Rio suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

“You’re truly wise, Mr. Lozano. The Cox family is very impressed indeed. Since that’s the case, let’s discuss the matters of the Cox family first.”

Matthew was somewhat baffled by his reaction, and the representatives from the other three families also wore expressions of confusion.
