“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.”

“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.
