The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Rio heaved a deep sigh, his tone grave. “Things are not good. The guild is currently preparing to thoroughly investigate all businesses under the Cox family. The auction house has already been shut down, and the firearms that were found have all been confiscated for source tracing. However, it’s uncertain what they will be able to uncover.”

This was similar to what Neera had heard so far. Nonetheless, what she cared about more was the truth.

“Mr. Rio, may I be so bold as to ask whether those firearms truly belong to the Cox family? This is a matter of great importance, and I hope you can tell me the truth. Of course, I understand I’m an outsider. If you feel it’s inappropriate to answer, feel free not to.”

Rio’s brows furrowed deeply as he spoke in a serious tone. “Ms. Garcia, in this matter, the Cox family is truly innocent. I have no reason to deceive you. The possession and use of firearms are strictly prohibited in Phison. The head of my family has also issued a strict order not allowing anyone to violate this law. All the industries under the Cox family’s name have never had a single mishap, let alone the possibility of hiding firearms among them. There must be something fishy about this!”

Seeing his decisive response, which didn’t seem like he was lying, Neera had a better understanding of the

“I’m just as confused about this matter as you are right now.”

Rio’s brows were furrowed with worry. He took out a cigar, just about to light it, but after glancing at Neera, he quickly put it back into the metal box.

“I think someone has set the Cox family up.”
