At this moment, Jean suddenly spoke up, saying earnestly, “Mr. Weaver, rest assured, I won’t let Neera fall into danger again, nor will I allow anyone to bully her. So, there’s no need for her to endure the hardship of training. Let’s put that aside for now, and you can also take a break. However, if you have spare time, you could help Neera improve her flying needle technique. I noticed she seems quite interested in it.”

Neera nodded eagerly. “That’s right, Mr. Weaver! My flying needle technique has improved greatly. The incident a few days ago was so sudden that I didn’t have time to bring my needles. Otherwise, I would have definitely escaped unscathed.”

Finnley sighed and answered, “Fine… Do as you please.”

Then, he turned his head and started chatting with Chad, casually asking, “By the way, are you just going to let those families that took action off the hook? I haven’t heard anything about their situation afterward.”

The instant this topic came up, Chad’s expression turned serious, a cold smirk appearing on his face.

“Let them off the hook? The Gordon family isn’t that generous.”

One of Finnley’s grey eyebrows lifted. “Oh? So, are you all ready then?”

Chad nodded. “Of course, if they want to treat the Gordon family as an easy target, they’d better have the ability to do so. If they can’t crush the Gordon family, then it will be their turn next…”

At this point, Shane interjected, his expression somewhat puzzled.

“However, something seems off with the Logan family. All the businesses under their name seem to be having problems. Starting from yesterday, one after another began to close down. It seems that there were also violent incidents at two of their clubs. Rumors have it that Howard was involved and was seriously injured. He’s lost his sight and has become disabled. No one knows who did it.”

Originally, Shane had planned to personally settle the score with Howard, intending to torment him. severely. However, it turned out that the Logan family was already in chaos, which saved him the trouble of taking action.

“At this rate, the Logan family probably won’t last a few days. They’re done for.”

Neera was somewhat surprised to hear this.

However, she didn’t have the slightest sympathy for Howard and the Logan family’s predicament. She just thought they deserved it.

“Indeed, no one can escape the consequences of their wrongdoings. It will catch up, sooner or later,” she muttered, nonchalantly sipping her stew.

A trace of contemplation swept across Chad’s eyes as he glanced at Jean, his expression complex.
