“The rise of the Gordon family shouldn’t pose a threat to other powers either, isn’t it?”

“It’s different. The Gordon family used to be an obscure third-rate power, but now they have suddenly leaped to a first-rate family. This has disrupted the balance. Other families will inevitably be envious and wary. Nonetheless, the most wary should be the guild because the Gordon family now holds control of District Twenty-One to District Twenty-Five. This is something that other families, even those seated in the elders council, have never achieved.”

Chad nodded. “This is akin to how ancient kings were wary of ministers holding great power, not to mention that this minister also controls the forces of several regions. If allowed to develop, he might become a feudal lord, breaking away from the court. The current Jagger family is a case in point.”

Neera had never imagined that so many hidden agendas and open schemes were concealed within this incident. She couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“So, the guild didn’t dare to offend the Gordon family directly, and that’s why they targeted the Cox family instead?”

“I’m almost one hundred percent certain that’s the case. The guild has probably been eyeing the territory you hold for a while now and won’t let you hold onto it for long. However, because the Cox and Gordon families have brought prestige to the guild during the district president election, the guild can’t act directly for fear of public criticism and concerns that Lordsworth Estate might intervene. Thus, for now, they’re holding back while elevating the status of the Cox and Gordon families, making a show of it on the surface while taking action behind the scenes.”

They won’t let the Cox family come out unscathed, but they also won’t let them suffer too much.
