Avery left the hospital and got into the car, remaining silent throughout. His face was gloomy, his eyes filled with darkness. 

Violet asked him, “How is Ms. Neera? Has she woken up? Is her injury serious?” 

From deep within his throat, Avery managed to squeeze out a grunt before closing his eyes and pinching his forehead. 

“Don’t talk to me right now,” he said coldly. 

Violet could tell that he was feeling troubled at the moment. She hummed obediently and gave the driver a knowing look. The car then started to drive away. 

Meanwhile, at the Bartitsu Guild headquarters, Matthew exclaimed, “What did you say? Avery is back?” 

Darren’s forehead was covered by a piece of gauze as he nodded in response. “Yes, he must have heard about Neera’s accident, so he rushed back. As soon as he arrived, he headed straight to the hospital and stayed for a while before leaving.” 

“Where did he go?” 

“Haven Association.” 

Matthew’s expression darkened. 

Haven Association was an embassy established by Lordsworth Estate in various districts of Bartitsu Guild. According to the agreement between the two parties, members of Bartitsu Guild are not allowed to show any hostility to Haven Association. 

Matthew couldn’t help but let out a snigger. “I really didn’t expect it. He’s truly a hopeless romantic. He risked his life for a woman by traveling thousands of miles back here just to see her!” 

After he finished speaking, his face changed again, a hint of anger surfacing between his brows. 

“You imbecile! His return is a golden opportunity. Why not seize it and finish him off? Every day he’s left alive, he’s a major threat to us!” 

Darren pursed his lips, feeling somewhat helpless. 

“Mr. Lozano, it’s not that we don’t want to act. Avery’s return this time is not entirely impulsive. He came with the Medicina family, and their people are secretly protecting him. It’s as if Lordsworth Estate is deliberately taking care of him. We can’t just make a move recklessly, and even if we do, we might not necessarily gain an advantage.” 

“You’re all nothing but idiots!” 

Naturally, Matthew knew that Darren was speaking the truth. 

Even then, he was still quite p*ssed. 

The plan he had originally laid out, which he thought was foolproof, ended up encountering one problem after another. The past few days had been nothing but unsettling to him. 

11:54 Tue, 5 Dec BW. 

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and finally calmed down.

“Forget it. Let’s not bother with Avery for now. Let him have his way for a few more days. There are more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.” 

He waved his hand, signaling Darren to listen. 

“There’s a lot of speculation swirling around right now, and it’s not looking good for Bartitsu Guild. You need to send someone to handle public relations immediately. We must ensure that the Guild comes out of this squeaky clean!” 

Upon hearing this, Darren nodded in acknowledgement. 

After Darren left, Matthew sat on the sofa, leaning on his cane. His hand rested on the top of the cane, his fingers tapping it from time to time. 

His face remained somber, not because of the matters of the Cox family, but due to the affairs of the Gordon family. 

Previously, he had realized that he had underestimated the power of the Gordon family. After this incident, this feeling grew more intense. 

Moreover, he discovered something that greatly surprised him. There was more to Jean than met the 

eye. 

He initially thought that Neera had sent Jean to handle the affairs of District Twenty-One because there was no one else she could delegate it to. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be extremely competent. 

The explosion in District Twenty-One was effortlessly resolved by Jean. The follow-up matters were also dealt with in an orderly manner. In just one day, District Twenty-One had regained order and was even more secure than before. 

It was clear that managing Phison wasn’t like running a company. The level of difficulty doing so was several times higher. 

Moreover, Jean wasn’t a native of Phison. The first-rate families from District Twenty-One were already causing him trouble, trying to trip him up. 

Surprisingly, he held his own very well.. 

Moreover, Matthew had heard that after meeting with Jean, those top-tier families had a complete change of attitude in just over half an hour, each and every one of them started to support him. 

It was precisely because of the changes in the families’ attitudes and their full cooperation that order was swiftly restored in District Twenty-One. 

Such an impressive result couldn’t have been achieved without experience. 

Jean, even with his renowned reputation, is merely a tycoon in the business world. The fields he’s involved in are vastly different from those of Phison. How did he manage to do it? Moreover, it is said that the blockade set up at the border of District Fourteen was broken through by him in one fell swoop. He didn’t exert much effort, and there was no need for Chad and Shane to step in! 

The more Matthew thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. 

Who exactly is that man? 

In less than half an hour, Bartitsu Guild issued a statement amidst the rampant speculation.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It stated: The union bears responsibility for the upheaval in the Gordon residence. As administrators, we failed to manage and restrain the forces under our control, leading to several families taking improper actions against the Gordon family. The guild deeply regrets this and will impose appropriate punishments on the families involved in the violence. 

The Bartitsu Guild’s brief statement subtly shifted the blame for the violence at the Gordon residence onto several other families. However, they did not explicitly mention who those families were. 

On this matter, Bartitsu Guild subtly provided an explanation: 

Bartitsu Guild has always advocated for the principle of dominance through force. As a result, internal strife within the guild has been constant over the years. While this has indeed promoted the maturity and growth of Bartitsu Guild, it has also damaged the unity within the guild. Bartitsu Guild used to stipulate that as long as no firearms were used and public safety was not endangered, no punishment would be given for fights. However, considering the severity of this recent violence, the guild has decided to change its governance methods and philosophy. From now on, we hope everyone will help to monitor it. 

The statement sparked a new wave of uproar amidst public opinion. 

“Huh, Bartitsu Guild has personally responded? Hey, which families are involved? I’m curious.” 

“Me too, but I think it must be those who dealt with the Cox family before, right? The Cox family has now fled to Lordsworth Estate, and the Gordon family has always been so close to the Cox family, so they’ve probably turned their guns on the Gordon family, haven’t they?” 

“The Gordon family really got the short end of the stick, didn’t they? They were dragged into this mess by the Cox family and were almost wiped out entirely. Tsk, tsk. And there’s Neera, who ended up in the hospital. I wonder how she’s doing now…” 

“D*mn, Bartitsu Guild is being too formal, aren’t they? Are they trying to refute rumors? Somehow, I feel that there’s more to it. What about that explosion in District Five? Surely, it can’t be the work of those few families, can it? Do they really have the capability to cause such a big commotion?” 

“Exactly, I have my doubts too. You know, those in District Five are no pushovers. How could they have been bombed so easily? Unless… unless there’s a stronger force at play..
