The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1429

That was why her words became blunt, her tone cold, laced with a hint of mockery.

She spoke in a similar tone Baxter used when he spoke to her earlier. “Bartitsu Guild targeted the five districts because they anticipated that the Gordon family would be well-prepared to deal with any fallout from a confrontation. Therefore, they chose to strike where the Gordon family least expected, and those targets were the five districts. The places they destroyed were not particularly important, but the damage inflicted was enough to leave the Gordon family in chaos, unable to attend to other matters, and significantly depleted. On the other hand, it can generate enough public opinion and influence. Right now, the public sentiment toward the Gordon family is very hostile. Quite a few people have been swayed, asking me to willingly hand over the position of district president to Bartitsu Guild. Who do you think is behind this? Naturally, it’s Bartitsu Guild. This is precisely the effect they want. And I believe, soon, Bartitsu Guild will reveal its true intentions, actively demanding that I hand over the position of district president. By doing this, on the one hand, it weakens the Gordon family, and on the other hand, it also achieves its goal. Do you understand?”

Baxter really didn’t like it when she spoke to him that way. His face looked quite displeased. After listening, he let out a cold huff. “Even if Bartitsu Guild did this, it would be because of you that this outcome occurred. If you hadn’t insisted on leaving Bartitsu Guild to join Lordsworth Estate, thus angering Bartitsu Guild, they wouldn’t have taken action.”

Neera took a deep breath, and she had run out of patience. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh, her words becoming sharper and more unpleasant. “Do you even have a brain? Have you lived all these years in vain? Bartitsu Guild has long wanted to seize control of the five districts, and they will act sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time. Moreover, the Gordon family has long been a thorn in their side. Whether you can survive in Bartitsu Guild depends on whether they allow you to!”

Baxter had lived to such an old age, yet he had never been scolded like that by anyone, let alone by a young girl he looked down upon who was standing right in front of him.

with a warning in his eyes, his brows furrowed in deep irritation. “Watch your attitude! Regardless of your grievances, you must remember that Neera is the head of the Gordon family! You may have thousands, tens of thousands of complaints, but you must swallow them! These are the rules set by our ancestors!

“Shut up already!”

Uncle Chad and Shane have already rushed over. The remaining three districts have also been severely damaged to varying degrees. Someone must go there to take control of the overall situation.
