The Bartitsu Guild was not easily overthrown, making it a formidable opponent.

Furthermore, the Cox family was not only dealing with the guild, but also with the Hoffman and Laker families, as well as several others. They were surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Avery did not want to involve the Gordon family, especially Neera.

However, Neera shook her head, showing concern. Despite her worry, she remained composed and systematic, showing no signs of panic.

“If we consider personal interests, I cannot stand by and do nothing. Even though we haven’t known each other for long, I consider you a friend. When a friend is in trouble, I cannot remain indifferent. As for the relationship between our families, I believe my uncle wouldn’t just stand by and watch the Cox family face hardship alone.”

She paused and added, “Moreover, I am just a nominal head of the family. When it comes to the lives of so many people, I cannot make the decision alone. I will discuss this matter with my uncle when I return. Ultimately, it is up to him to decide.”

Avery knew he couldn’t influence Chad’s thoughts. After contemplating for a moment, he nodded slightly, choosing not to say anything more.

Upon returning home, Neera relayed everything Avery had said to Chad.

Chad was not surprised. “I knew it. The Cox family would never do anything against the rules. It seems that the Bartitsu Guild is really determined to fight the Cox family until the end. They won’t back down until they bring down. the Cox family.”

Neera was deeply worried. “What should we do then? Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?”

Chad raised an eyebrow. “Silly girl, how could we? The Gordon and Cox families have been close for generations. There’s no reason to back down at such a crucial moment. Besides, the Cox and Gordon families are now in the same boat. If one falls, the other suffers. If the Cox family were to collapse, the future of the Gordon family wouldn’t be any better.”

Upon hearing that, Neera felt somewhat relieved.

No matter what dangers they might face, the mutual support between the two families would ensure that the Cox family never be left alone and defenseless.

Beside her, Jean listened in silence, not expressing any opinions, yet he was secretly surprised.

He did not expect the Cox family to actually have an armory.

In Phison, having an armory would make anyone envious.

However, this only applied to the Bartitsu Guild. Over at Lordsworth Estate, things were much more peaceful.

With this thought, his eyes flickered, and a new idea surfaced in his mind.

During dinner, while Neera and Chad were discussing how to respond, he unexpectedly made a suggestion.

“Since the Gordon family and the Cox family have decided to completely break off relations with the Bartitsu Guild, why not let the Gordon family and the Cox family relocate to the jurisdiction of Lordsworth Estate?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire family froze, all eyes turned toward him,

“Relocate to Lordsworth Estate?” Chad’s eyebrows raised slightly. He was not at all offended by this suggestion. Instead, there was a hint of interest in his eyes. “Are you suggesting that the Cox and Gordon families should join

us?”

Jean explained calmly, “It’s not joining us. If we’re talking about betrayal, it should be the Bartitsu Guild betraying the Gordon family and the Cox family. It was the guild that was unkind and unjust first, so why should the Gordon family and the Cox family still uphold so-called kindness and justice? Are they supposed to just stand by and watch as the Cox family and the Gordon family are overthrown by the guild? A talented person should choose a workplace suitable for themselves. Since the Bartitsu Guild can no longer accommodate the Cox and Gordon. families, there’s no need for them to continue serving the guild. Living in Phison, one must choose a sphere of influence. Apart from the guild, there is Lordsworth Estate. At present, it is safest for the Cox and Gordon families to go to Lordsworth Estate.”

Despite what he said, Neera still felt uneasy in her heart.

“But even if we want to pledge allegiance to them, will they agree to it? We used to be under the command of the Bartitsu Guild. I wonder if they would be willing to accept us…”

Jean gave a slight smile. “I think there should be no problem. After all, we have you.”

“Me?” Neera pointed to herself, then quickly remembered the lord of Lordsworth Estate. “Are you suggesting that the lord would accept the Cox and Gordon families for my sake? Is that… even possible?”

“How can it be impossible?” Jean spoke lightly, his expression indifferent. “You saved the lord’s life. To repay you, he has helped you and the Gordon family many times, even going so far as to willingly give up his position as district president. Isn’t this a small matter for him to accept both of your families? If you’re still unsure, you can talk to Colin Wiley first to gauge the situation.”

Neera felt that something was off. She furrowed her brows in thought, then suddenly grasped the key point.

“How do you know about Colin? Have you heard of him?”

Jean immediately realized that he had let something slip, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he smoothly covered up his

mistake.

“Yes, I’ve heard of him. Colin is one of the seven branch leaders under the command of Lordsworth Estate, a man of great renown. I’ve done my research in advance and am aware of his public challenge to the vice president of the Bartitsu Guild, Matthew Lozano.”

“Oh, I see…” Neera nodded in understanding, then turned to Chad and asked, “Uncle Chad, do you think it’s feasible?”

Chad stared at Jean meaningfully. After a long pause, he finally spoke in a soft voice. “It’s not that we can’t give it a try. After all, the Cox and Gordon families can’t stay in the guild any longer. This could be a way out. However, we can’t speak for the Cox family. We need to ask Avery about this matter.”

After dinner, Neera went to the balcony and made a call to Avery.

Avery clearly hesitated and showed a bit of resistance when he heard that.

To be honest, I don’t enjoy being dependent on others. The reason we’re affiliated with the Bartitsu Guild is because it’s been a family tradition for over a hundred years. But to actively seek someone else’s protection? I’ve never done such a thing.”

Neera understood his pride and said helplessly, “But this is the current situation. It’s either Lordsworth Estate or the Bartitsu Guild. The Bartitsu Guild has clearly made up its mind to eradicate the Cox and Gordon familles, taking away all our power and benefits. We can’t stay here any longer.”

Avery also understood. After considering for a moment, he said, However, Lordsworth Estate is also known for its ruthlessness. We can only determine whether we should go or not after discussing it with them

Exactly Neera agreed I will arrange a meeting with Colin. We will try to replace some time in the next few days to sit down and talk Once the time is set, I will inform you

She had assumed that arranging a meeting with someone as prominent as Colin would be difficult.

Unexpectedly, it went surprisingly smoothly

She reached out to Colin through Caleb The moment he heard it was her, he agreed to meet her that very day without hesitation

The conversation went much smoother than she had anticipated

They agreed to meet in a private room on the second floor of a cafe

Neera arrived early with Avery. They hadn’t waited for ten minutes when Colin walked in gracefully,

Mo Garcia hele he greeted with an elegant smile, extending his hand and taking the initiative. His demeanor was graceful and extraordinary is good to see you again

Neera proles took his hand Lewise, Miley

With a ende Coin withdrew his hand. As his gaze shifted to Avery next to her, the curve of his smile faded slightly.
