The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1464

That evening, the Gordon family released a statement.

The statement was straightforward. It clearly condemned the families who had instigated the recent revolts. Following this, it announced a decision to break away from the less than morally upstanding Bartitsu Guild, choosing instead to align with Lordsworth Estate.

The moment this statement was made, it was like a thunderclap on a clear day, immediately sparking widespread heated discussions on the internet. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Holy moly, are you serious? The Cox family left, and now even the Gordon family is leaving Bartitsu Guild? What kind of benefits did Lordsworth Estate offer? Enough to make both the Gordon and Cox families, two major families, abandon Bartitsu Guild and pledge allegiance to Phison? This is just too outrageous.

To the above commenter, what do you mean this is outrageous? Is Bartitsu Guild not chaotic enough? The Gordon family’s revolt this time was an unprovoked disaster, okay? Let me ask you, if your family was attacked by several other families even though you didn’t provoke them, could you bear it?

Exactly! And Bartitsu Guild is so ineffective. They talk a good game, saying they’ll punish the involved families, but they don’t even reveal the names of these families. Where’s the punishment, then? Have you seen it? Maybe those people are living well, and only the Gordon family is suffering. If I were in their shoes, I would leave too.

I’m siding with the Gordon family this time. Bartitsu Guild is becoming more and more immoral; it’s just unbearable. Now, I’m afraid to even walk on the streets for fear of bad things happening to me. The guild doesn’t even bother to manage things. I have no idea what they’re up to. It’s better to protect ourselves. We, from small families, have no say in this, unlike the Gordon family or the Cox family.

Large families like them can just leave if they want to, and Lordsworth Estate is more than willing to accept them. They’re like hotcakes.

The Gordon family is really having a tough time. They were originally in a secure position for the second elder seat, but now, due to the actions of the Laker and Watson families, they have no choice but to leave Bartitsu Guild. I mean, it’s not for me to say, but could it be that they targeted the Gordon family not because of the Cox family, but because of the second elder seat?

It’s possible. Who would’ve thought these families would all be eyeing that position? I’m puzzled, though. Who will take over the position after driving the Gordon family away? They all want to rise to power, so won’t there be infighting then? Haha, it’s like a dog biting a dog; just thinking about it makes me laugh.

Am I the only one who thinks that Bartitsu Guild is the real loser here? The power and influence of the Gordon and Cox families are not to be underestimated. Now that they’ve both left, the overall strength of Bartitsu Guild is bound to decline significantly. This move has put the guild at a disadvantage, making them suffer more loss than gain.

Am I the only one concerned about Bartitsu Guild’s reaction to this? Do you guys think they will agree?

Agree or not, what can we do about it? Even if Bartitsu Guild tries to stop it, they can’t if someone is determined to leave. What can you do about it? Besides, the Gordon family is in the right in this matter. The guild’s actions this time are indeed disheartening.

I’m afraid that when the time comes, there might be a fight. After all, the Gordon family still holds power in those five districts. Tsk, tsk, I don’t think Bartitsu Guild will just stand by and watch as the Gordon family takes away those five districts…

10:50 Wed, 6 Dec

There was no denying that these people’s guesses were quite accurate.

Meanwhile, at Bartitsu Guild’s headquarters.

When Matthew heard this news, he almost burst a blood vessel from how infuriated he was.

“They want to leave the guild? Over my dead body!” He threw his teacup onto the ground. With a loud crash, the teacup broke into pieces on the floor.

Darren stood nervously to one side, reminding him, “But the Gordon family is indeed in the right this time. The revolt can serve as their leverage.”

The moment this matter was brought up, Matthew’s fury ignited.

“Failing to eliminate Neera or block Chad and his group back then was a huge mistake! I underestimated their power! If I had known, I would have wiped them out early on. I should have made my move when Neera first took the seat of the district president yet before she had a firm grip on her position and before the five districts had completely submitted to the Gordon family!”

But now, it was too late.

Bartitsu Guild had made a huge blunder with this move.

Darren glanced cautiously at Matthew’s grim expression, then carefully asked, “Mr. Lozano, what should we do next?”

Matthew gritted his teeth, speaking sternly, “What should we do? If the Gordon family wants to leave, fine, but they must leave the five districts behind! There’s no way I’ll allow them to take those districts away!”

Consequently, Bartitsu Guild responded swiftly, vehemently condemning the Gordon family for their intention to abandon the guild. They demanded that the Gordon family relinquish their position as the district president. Otherwise, the guild would no longer consider past relations and would not be courteous to the Gordon family.

When Neera saw these words, she couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.

“Up until now, Matthew hasn’t dared to show his face at the Gordon residence, yet he’s been quite bold in making his statements.”

Chad raised an eyebrow, sipping his tea nonchalantly. “That’s just his usual style. Bartitsu Guild has never been one to be reasonable.”

On this matter, Neera had already gained a deep understanding. She snorted disdainfully.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve seen someone so unreasonable. It’s as if the word ‘unreasonable’ is blatantly written all over their faces. Seriously, how could they have the audacity to act like this?”

Shane chuckled. “Have you forgotten? Bartitsu Guild respects strength above all else. As long as you can win, you can take whatever you want. The guild doesn’t care about how much blood is shed.”

Meanwhile, the comments section under Bartitsu Guild’s online statement was flooded with comments.

No way, right? No way! Is Bartitsu Guild really openly declaring their intention to snatch those districts? Is that even allowed? I’ve truly learned something new today.

D*mn, it’s not like this is the first time something like this has happened. Someone predicted this before, right? But this time, Bartitsu Guild is really too straightforward. They’re not even putting on a show anymore; they’re outright demanding it.

My take on this is Bartitsu Guild has gone too far this time. The district president title rightfully belongs to the Gordon family. It’s the Gordon family head’s. Why should it be given to Bartitsu Guild? It took much effort for the Gordon family to consolidate the five districts, and now the guild wants to steal the fruits of their labor. Goodness, that’s not how decent people behave.

Bartitsu Guild has acted out of line more than once or twice. However, it seems the Gordon family might have a hard time getting away this time. Why do I smell a fight brewing?

I don’t see it that way. I think it would be quite easy for the Gordon family to leave. Don’t forget, the head of the Gordon family once saved the life of the lord of Lordsworth Estate. I’m sure the Gordon family has already made arrangements with Lordsworth Estate. As long as the Gordon family is willing to go, Lordsworth Estate will definitely provide full protection. I don’t believe that Bartitsu Guild would dare to touch the Gordon family.

I agree with the previous comment. Even if Bartitsu Guild wants those five districts, they should think twice about outright snatching. Can they really bear the consequences?

Amidst the discussions, someone from Lordsworth Estate also stepped up, issuing a statement of their own.

The Gordon family, with a century-long lineage, commands respect for both its strength and reputation. It is an honor for Lordsworth Estate to have such a family join us. Lordsworth Estate announces that henceforth, we will take full responsibility for the safety of the Gordon family. We will not harm the Gordon family’s interests in the slightest and will provide them with comprehensive support. Furthermore, the authority of the Gordon family head as the district president will not be stripped away by Lordsworth Estate, nor will there be any interference. The Gordon family will have full autonomy in managing their own affairs.
