The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

“Mr. Cox, you are a smart man. I’m sure you can understand the pros and cons without me having to elaborate. So, are you still willing to risk your life for the Bartitsu Guild?”

Nelson gave him two minutes to think, then once again extended an olive branch.

Avery’s eyes were very dark, his expression unfriendly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Although he was angry about the actions of the Bartitsu Guild, he wasn’t surprised.

He understood the virtues and methods of the guild better than anyone else.

However, this matter did not affect his attempt to take over the Jagger family.

With that thought, he lifted his eyes indifferently. “Nelson, if you invited me in with such intentions, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

Nelson raised an eyebrow. “Oh? How so?”

“The actions of the Bartitsu Guild will be dealt with when I return. The Cox family has been entrenched in the guild for many years, deeply rooted and not easily shaken. Therefore, you need not worry about the Cox family’s affairs. As for the Jagger family, you’ve been occupying the offshore islands for many years. If you had behaved yourselves, it would have been fine. But instead, you’ve been acting recklessly, abusing power and exploiting resources, which has long aroused the dissatisfaction of the locals. However, these people have no power and can only be oppressed and exploited by the Jagger family. The Jagger family has committed many evils, and it’s time you paid the corresponding price.”

Nelson’s smile gradually faded from his face, leaving no trace of his previous cheerfulness.

Of course, I know both you and the young lady beside you are quite skilled. If it were a normal day, you might be able to hold your own against them. But now, that’s clearly impossible.”
