Jean narrowed his eyes, taking a moment to digest all that had happened. After a while, he let out a cold, mocking laugh.
“The management style of the Bartitsu Guild has shown significant problems for many years. However, the guild has been too eager for quick success and instant benefits, always turning a blind eye to these power struggles. Little did they realize such conflicts could potentially destroy the Bartitsu Guild.”
lan nodded in agreement. “If one can’t even manage their own affairs, yet still desires to seize power that doesn’t belong to them, it truly shows that greed knows no bounds.”
Jean, on the other hand, didn’t care much. The investigation had already gone far enough at this point.
“Send all the information we’ve gathered, along with the evidence, to the two elders of the Cox family. However, make sure not to reveal our identities. Let someone from the Gordon family deliver it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
That afternoon, the evidence ended up in the hands of Rio and Ronald.
They were already harboring doubts about the various incidents in this operation.
Now that they saw the evidence, which did not have the slightest discrepancy with the truth that the Jagger family had revealed, they were instantly infuriated.
“The Watson family! From the very beginning, they’ve been eyeing the Cox family with ill intent, targeting us in every possible way. I never expected they would stoop so low behind our backs! They
even dared to collude with pirates!”
“It now appears that the Jagger family’s ability to repeatedly fend off the attacks from the Bartitsu Guild must undoubtedly be linked to the Watson family!”
The two of them looked at the evidence in their hands, their expressions equally serious.
“Unexpectedly, even the Quigley family and the Hoffman family are involved. Usually, these two families have always shown us great respect. Who would have thought they were scheming behind our backs, colluding with the Watson family? No matter what, they cannot be forgiven this time!”
Rio felt the same way. The thought of Avery still lying unconscious in the medical room filled him with uncontrollable anger.
“No matter what, we can’t just let it slide. They almost caused the death of Mr. Cox.”
Ronald was filled with righteous indignation. “This time I really need to hold the Bartitsu Guild accountable. There’s open and covert strife within the guild, and they’ve always turned a blind eye. Is this right? If a guild can’t even ensure the safety of its own forces, what use does it have? The Cox family has been fighting on the front lines for the entire guild. We were not only harmed by the Jagger family but also plotted against by our own people. Where is the justice in that? I really want to see if the guild will take action this time!”

The two elders sat down and deliberated for a while and quickly came up with an idea.
That evening, the Cox family secretly issued a mobilization order. The targets of this order were some powers affiliated with the Cox family, having them know that a meeting would be held at the Cox residence three days later.
In this matter, the Cox family did not hide anything from the Gordon family.
Neera was somewhat confused.
“Uncle Chad, what is this mobilization order for?”
Chad took a sip of coffee, then explained to her in a gentle voice, “Over the years, the Cox family has gained considerable prestige in the Bartitsu Guild. Although on the surface, everyone belongs to the guild, in reality, factions have formed within it. The Jennings and Logan families, for example, belong to one faction. Naturally, the Cox family has its own faction too, with them at the helm. The other families have to heed the Cox family’s orders. The Cox family’s actions suggest they are likely preparing to make a move.”
“Make a move? Against whom? The Bartitsu Guild?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Not really, but they do intend to intimidate them. As for who they are really targeting, it’s those forces that have colluded with the Jagger family to secretly harm the Cox family.”
Regarding this, Neera had already understood and nodded clearly upon hearing it.
“It’s about time for the Cox family to settle the scores.”
“That’s right. The more critical the situation, the less we can afford to swallow our pride. If the Cox family lets this matter slide, then from now on, the other powers will become even more unbridled. Now that Avery has successfully dealt with the Jagger family and taken over Adieu Island, the guild has no excuse to suppress them anymore. If the Cox family wants to seek justice and punish those powers, the guild has nothing to say, let alone obstruct them.”
Here, he gave a meaningful smile and said, “The time has come for the Cox family to establish their dominance.”
Neera asked, “What about the Gordon family? Are we going to get involved?”
“When the time comes, we’ll arrange for some people to go over and help, so you don’t need to worry about this for now.”
Neera nodded, but deep down, a hint of worry lingered.
Ever since she arrived in Phison, it seemed as though she hadn’t enjoyed a single day of peace,
Everything was immersed in a web of intrigue and conflict, and fighting and killing had unknowingly become the norm.
She now missed those carefree days back home more than ever.
In Kingsview/significant matters often pertained to issues in company operations or dilemmas in research.
It was nothing like this, living in constant fear every day.
