The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1409

Following that, Neera talked about her chance encounter with Albert that day.

“Uncle Chad, why do you think Albert returned to District Fourteen? Didn’t the Cox family already move away? Could he have some sort of agenda for coming back?”

Chad didn’t find it surprising.

“Although the Cox family has already left Bartitsu Guild and is no longer under its jurisdiction, the Cox family’s influence has been entrenched in the guild for many years. There are likely still some matters to be taken care of, along with some affliated forces that need to be dealt with, or some arrangements to be made.”

Neera still found it odd. “But his attitude towards his peer seemed somewhat obsequious, not like how one would typically treat affliated forces.”

Chad gave it some thought. “I’m not sure about that. There might be something else going on.”

Neera asked again, “The Cox family and Bartitsu Guild are on the brink of falling out now. Is it appropriate for the Cox family to appear so blatantly on the Guild’s territory? Wouldn’t the Guild send people to intercept and kill them?”

Upon hearing this, Chad slowly smiled. “Although Bartitsu Guild and the Cox Family are at odds now, it doesn’t mean the guild can just strike whenever they want. A direct assassination nowadays is no longer feasible.”

“Oh? Why do you say that?”

“If the guild intercepted Avery before he left District Fourteen, there might have been a chance to take action directly. After all, at that time, Avery had not yet fully submitted to Lordsworth Estate. But now, it’s different. Lordsworth Estate has personally stepped in and made a statement, clearly intending to protect the Cox family. If Bartitsu Guild were to make a move against the Cox family now, it would be tantamount to challenging Lordsworth Estate. When that happens, Lordsworth Estate will undoubtedly retaliate. Given the current situation of Bartitsu Guild, they certainly wouldn’t take such a risk.”

Neera understood clearly. “Bartitsu Guild is still very wary of Lordsworth Estate. They are still no match against them.”

“Well, you could say that.”

After that, Chad asked her, “Have you figured out how to go about your investigations?”

Neera was somewhat troubled by the topic. “No, I went to see Mr. Weaver today. Firstly, I wanted to invite him to come with us to Lordsworth Estate. Secondly, I wanted to ask if he knew anything about the armory incident back then, or if there was anything amiss between the Cox family and Bartitsu Guild. However, Mr. Weaver doesn’t pay much attention to the Cox family and doesn’t bother with the affairs of the guild, so he can’t really remember. He suggested that I ask you instead. Perhaps you might have an idea.”

Upon hearing this, Chad laughed helplessly, “To be honest, I’m not really sure myself. Initially, in order to be closer to your aunt, I spent most of my time in Essley, busy running F.A Group and hardly returned to Phison.”

“I see…” Neera couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration. “Then we’ll just have to find another way.”

Following that, Neera talked about her chance encounter with Albert that day.
