Chapter 1423

Matthew chuckled coldly. “Indeed, the Bartitsu Guild will not deprive the autonomy of the families under its command, but it’s not a complete indulgence either. Otherwise, what kind of mess would the guild get into? We would become a laughingstock! Some things are better prevented before they happen!”

Neera raised one end of her dark eyebrows slightly. “Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Lozano? I don’t quite understand.”

“You don’t quite understand?” Matthew glanced at her sideways. “I think you’re just pretending to be confused when you actually know what’s going on.”

Neera replied evasively, “Mr. Lozano, you’ve misunderstood. I truly don’t know what you’re trying to say. I’m a straightforward person. I don’t like beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to be so secretive and speak in riddles here.”

“Hmph!” Matthew sneered disdainfully. “You think I enjoy wasting my time here with you? I’ve kept silent until now, not wanting to embarrass you, to leave you some dignity. Neera, why do

you think I promoted you to the second elder seat? Just as you said, you’re nothing more than an inexperienced individual with no qualifications. You’re unfamiliar with Phison, and even your understanding of the Gordon family is not clear enough. You do have some self-awareness, but why do you think I insist on promoting you, giving you this respect? It’s all to knock some sense into you! Yet, you fail to appreciate it. Do you really think you’re something special?”

He added, “Do you really think I can’t see through your little schemes? Aren’t you just like the Cox family, wanting to establish your own power? But let me tell you, as long as you’re in the Bartitsu Guild, you can only be an affliated force of the guild! Don’t think about playing mind games with me. I’m not taking action against the Gordon family because I don’t want to make things ugly and become a laughingstock. But if you insist on not knowing your place, then don’t blame me for being rude!”

Neera remained utterly calm and composed.

All of this was within her expectations. Just a moment ago, she had been curious about how much longer Matthew could endure.
