Shane shook his head. “It’s impossible. The guild has clearly planned this out. They insist that the Cox family must complete it. The Cox family can’t refuse. They have no choice but to accept. This matter is already set in stone. No one can change it.”

Neera furrowed her brows, filled with deep concern.

Jean had been quietly listening by her side. Seeing that she didn’t look well, he gently stroked her brow with his hand.

“Don’t worry for now. If you’re concerned, just go and check on the Cox family.”

Neera was taken aback. She pulled his hand down, her eyes lighting up. “You… are you willing to let me go?”

Jean chuckled lightly. “Why not? I’m just asking you to visit the Cox family, nothing else. You want to help, don’t ̧ you?”

Neera hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Yes. I can’t just sit back and ignore this matter.”

Ever since she arrived in Phison, Avery had consistently helped her.

Although she felt a bit awkward and even somewhat resentful about their engagement, she was still very grateful to Avery.

“Mr. Cox has helped me so much. I consider him a benefactor, a friend, and even like a brother to Shane. I always remembered how well he took care of me and thought I should repay him no matter what. Now that he’s in trouble, I… I can’t just pretend I don’t know and let it go. Even if this mission is more difficult and dangerous, I still want to lend a hand to the Cox family.”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with determination, clearly showing that she had made up her mind.
