The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1468

Darren responded, “The exact reason is still unclear for now. It seems like it’s the trouble that the Logan family had stirred up before. They took advantage of the Logan family’s current vulnerability to seek revenge. On one hand, they’ve brought down several of the Logan family’s companies. On the other hand, they’ve been causing all sorts of disturbances at various business premises owned by the Logan family, creating quite a ruckus.”

Matthew found the matter very strange and asked, “Which family is it? Do you know?”

With such a commotion, it was impossible not to know who the other party was.

Darren nodded, but his expression was somewhat peculiar as he responded, “I-It’s the Massey family.”

“The Massey family?” Upon hearing that, Matthew was somewhat surprised. “Does the Massey family really have such capability? No matter what, the Logan family was once a first-rate family in Bartitsu Guild. Their decline was due to the Gordon family’s affairs, but their overall strength was not bad at all. How could the Massey family possibly have defeated the Logan family?”

That was exactly what Darren found strange. “I’ve looked into it. The Massey family and the Logan family weren’t on good terms. Years ago, the Logan family was always bullying others because of their power, wanting to swallow up the properties of several families, including the Massey family. However, the Massey family managed to hold on and didn’t let the Logan family get what they wanted. That’s how the feud between the two families started. Later, during the election for the district president, the Logan family made a move against the Gordon family, and the Massey family got involved. The feud grew deeper and deeper. It seems that because of this, the Massey family started to come up with schemes. Logically speaking, the Massey family shouldn’t be as powerful as the Logan family. But what’s strange about this incident is that the Massey family acted swiftly and decisively. Not only did they catch the Logan family off guard, but they also inflicted heavy losses on them without suffering any

damage themselves. The fact that they could fight the Logan family to this extent and still come out unscathed shows that the Massey family’s current strength is far beyond what we thought.”

Upon hearing that, Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Are you suggesting that the Massey family deliberately concealed their strength? So, from the current perspective, could the Massey family actually rank among the first-rate families?”

Darren hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “You could say that, but up until now, I haven’t been able to figure out why the Massey family’s strength has increased so rapidly and why they would want to hide their power.”

After careful consideration, Matthew felt increasingly uneasy, prompting him to be on high alert. “Keep a low profile. This path, I’m afraid, might turn us into the second Gordon family. Keep a closer eye on the Massey family. If necessary, feel free to probe a bit to see just how strong the Massey family really is.”

Darren nodded. “Yes.”

Then, Matthew asked, “How is Howard doing now? Is there still hope for him?”

Speaking of which, Darren moistened the corner of his lips and said, “Even if he could be saved, he would still be crippled.”

Matthew was unperturbed. “Since he’s already a discarded piece, there’s no need to keep him around. It’s better to avoid him spilling any secrets. Find some time and send someone to take care of him.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Also, what’s the current situation with the Logan family? With the head of the family in this state, there must be some who can’t hold back anymore, right?”

“Mr. Lozano, you truly have a knack for predicting things. Now that Howard has fallen, the Logan family has started infighting. They’ve even stopped caring about their businesses, all vying for the position of family head. It looks like it’s going to get bloody.”

Matthew sneered, “A bunch of good-for-nothings. The Logan family is already on the decline, yet they still vie for the position of family head. What’s the point? It would be better to abandon the sinking ship and find a strong ally. These people are so brainless, preferring to be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. There’s no need to bother with them. I believe they’ll soon realize that there’s no hope of survival…”

Darren nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “So… Mr. Lozano, are we just going to let the Gordon family matter slide? And what about the five districts? Are we not going to fight for the districts?”

Clearly, Darren had hit a sore point. Matthew’s face immediately fell when he heard that. He shot Darren a sidelong glance and asked fiercely, “I do want to fight, but how should I go about it right now? Why don’t you suggest something?”

Darren was taken aback for a moment. “Well…”

“Hmph! You’re useless! You can’t even come up with a solution, yet you have the audacity to question me. What good are you?” Matthew roared.

Whenever that was brought up, Matthew was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent. All he could do was scold Darren harshly.

Darren hung his head low, not daring to even breathe. He silently chastised himself for speaking out of turn and could only bear it in silence.

After a moment, Matthew’s emotions settled down, and he said coldly, “Even if the Gordon family and the Cox family have left Bartitsu Guild and sided with Lordsworth Estate, they still shouldn’t just sit back and relax. There’s still a long way to go. Until the very end, who knows who will ultimately fall? Even if they want to sever ties with Bartitsu Guild, they have been entrenched here for so many years. Do they think they can uproot themselves completely? Ha! They’re dreaming!”

At this point, a trace of malice swept across the murkiness in Matthew’s eyes.

Meanwhile, when Neera arrived at District One, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Looking at the manor before her, she was utterly mesmerized. The manor before my eyes is incomparably grander than the Gordon residence at Bartitsu Guild. The environment is beautiful, and the architecture is grand. One can’t help but feel refreshed and vivifying!

Neera couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” With her face full of surprise, she asked, “Is this the residence arranged for us by the Lordsworth Estate? It’s so luxurious…

“It’s not bad, right? This manor may not be the largest in District One, but it certainly has the best environment and the most thoughtful design. It was once one of the residences of His Lordship. It has been vacant for some time, but His Lordship specifically instructed us to clear it out for the Gordon family. It has even been renovated. All the paperwork has been taken care of, so you can live here without any worries. Also, given the large area of this place, we were afraid that your family, being new here, might be short-staffed. Therefore, His Lordship has specially arranged for some people to come over. But rest assured, they are all assigned to do miscellaneous tasks and won’t be allowed into the mansion.” Caleb smiled slightly. In reality, there’s absolutely no need to do so. How could His Lordship possibly harm the Gordon family? However, His Lordship likely acted this way to prevent the Gordon family from misunderstanding his intentions. The people he sent are genuinely here to help manage the affairs of the Gordon family, not to keep them under surveillance. After all, the Gordon family still knows nothing about His Lordship. It’s only natural for everyone to be cautious.

With that in mind, Caleb sneakily glanced at Jean, who was standing quietly by the side, his expression indifferent. Caleb couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. My Lord is so mighty, but in the face of love, he truly seems to have transformed into a different person. Tsk! How rare.

On the other hand, Neera wasn’t at all dubious. Somewhat embarrassed, she expressed his gratitude by saying, “I’ve caused His Lordship trouble and also inconvenienced you all. I’m truly very thankful…”
