The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

After a considerable amount of time, he finally clarified his position.

“Mr. Cox is correct, and the head of the Gordon family also makes a valid point. Revoking control of the five districts from the Gordon family goes against the rules. The election for the district leader was open and transparent, and the results are already out. We cannot take it back for any reason. If word gets out, it will have a negative impact on our guild. Therefore, I reject this proposal. I advise the elders not to bring up this matter again, in order to protect the reputation of our guild and the elders themselves.”

“Mr. Lozano!” someone urgently called out, attempting to persuade him.

Matthew shot that person a glance and said, “I told you not to bring it up again. Does my word as the vice president mean nothing?”

The scene fell into complete silence.

Thus, this matter was unveiled and left in the past.

At this moment, Avery asked, “What about the seat of the ninth elder? Mr. Lozano, how do you decide on this matter?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze was fixed intensely on Matthew, waiting for him to deliver the final verdict.

Matthew fell silent momentarily, then said, “According to the original agreement of the guild, whoever becomes a district president can join the elders. Since the head of the Gordon family has become a district president, the ninth elder seat naturally belongs to her. Not only that, I have another announcement to make. Thanks to both the Gordon family and the Cox family, the Bartitsu Guild now has control over District Twenty-One to District Twenty- Five. Therefore, the guild has decided to establish the ninth elder seat for the Gordon family and rearrange the seating of the elders. The elder of the Cox family will be promoted to the second elder seat, while the Gordon family, due to their shorter tenure, will remain in the ninth seat as planned.”

I know that to these people, the Gordon family doesn’t mean much. The fact that we could retain control of the district leadership and the position of the ninth elder today is merely because they respect the lord. They have chosen to back off for now.
