The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

The matter of the ninth elder seat had been resolved, and news of it quickly spread throughout Phison.

This, in turn, ignited another wave of intense debate.

“The guild actually allowed the head of the Gordon family to take the ninth elder seat. I never thought those elders would agree. It seems the Gordon family has truly struck gold this time, gaining control of five districts and even joining the ranks of the elders.”

“Well, this is a perfect example of rising to greatness. It’s quite a turnaround for the underdog!”

“I’m curious about how those families who once looked down on the Gordon family are feeling now. I bet they’re envious, jealous, and resentful.”

“Exactly. Those who had previously crossed paths with the Gordon family on Mount Cloud must be regretting it so much.”

“You know, the young head of the Gordon family really has some skills. Ever since she took over, the Gordon family’s status has been steadily rising…”

Endless debates ensued, not only about the Gordon family but also about Neera, becoming a topic of conversation in Phison, discussed over cups of tea and meals.

Neera had heard about this and didn’t mind.

What frustrated her even more was that, due to the rising status of the Gordon family, many powerful families had come to curry favor with them, bringing valuable gifts to their doorstep.

As the head of the Gordon family, Neera had to personally attend to the guests. She was so busy every day that she felt dizzy from all the running around, and her cheeks were stiff from the forced smiles.
