Chapter 1236
Neera was at a loss for words. "Mr. Weaver, can't you give me a few days to rest? I've just come out ofretirement..."
Finnley hummed twice, swaying in a manner reminiscent of an old trickster. He looked adorable.
"If you rest for a few days, your hard-earned muscle memory will fade away. Keep practicing, Neera. You have along journey ahead, so keep striving!"
Neera chuckled, shaking her head helplessly.
At this moment, the square had emptied.
Matthew pointed to a nearby Lincoln limousine. "Let's go. We'll talk in the car."
Avery raised an eyebrow and followed.
Once inside the car, Matthew fixed Avery with a meaningful gaze and asked, "Is it true that there's absolutely noconnection between Ms. Garcia and the Lordsworth Estate?"
Avery wasn't surprised that he was still fixated on this matter.
"Mr. Lozano, at this point, whether there was a connection or not, how much difference does it make? Regardless,the Lordsworth Estate did help Neera obtain the White Flag. The Medicina family, along with other forces fromthe Lordsworth Estate, have provided assistance. Such a situation is not as simple as having a connection or not."
Matthew's eyebrows immediately furrowed, his expression darkening.
"You should know what I'm worried about."
Avery nodded. "I understand, but I think you're worrying too much."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I trust Neera. From what I know about her, she would never do anything to betray the Bartitsu Guild."
Matthew snorted. "That's not certain. Don't forget, she has no roots here. Phison means nothing to her, let alonethe Bartitsu Guild."
"But the Gordon family means something to her, doesn't it?"
"The Gordon family? Ha!" Matthew chuckled dismissively. "What could it mean? Chad isn't even related to herby blood; he just became her uncle. How deep of a connection can there be?"
Avery's lips curled as he gazed at the distant hills through the window. Something flickered in his gaze.
"You don't understand her. So, even if the Bartitsu Guild isn't important to her, the Gordon family is a part of theBartitsu Guild's influence. She wouldn't do anything against the Gordon family's interests, and she wouldn't letthem fall into an unjust situation."
Matthew truly didn't know about this. "Oh? There's that too?"
"Yes, so don't worry. Even if the Bartitsu Guild isn't important to her, the Gordon family is a part of the BartitsuGuild's forces. She would never do anything against the Gordon family's interests or lead them down an unjustpath."
Matthew fell into silence, his forehead still creased.
"Even if she doesn't have such intentions, the Lordsworth Estate, on the other hand, might."
Avery suddenly laughed softly.
Matthew was a bit annoyed. "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm needlessly troubling myself? Whenyou're in this position, you must think about the big picture at all times. Once you have the chance to reach theheights I'm at, you'll understand why I have to be so meticulous."
Avery raised an eyebrow, his manner casual.
"Mr. Lozano, don't misunderstand me. I'm not laughing at you. I understand that you've worked hard for theBartitsu Guild. However..."
"However, what?"
"However, you really don't need to be so cautious. I know what you're most concerned about is the Gordon familybetraying the Bartitsu Guild and siding with the Lordsworth Estate, and the five districts falling into the hands ofthe Lordsworth Estate. But you might want to consider whether this approach is neglecting what is close at handin favor of distant possibilities."
Matthew furrowed his brow, contemplating in silence.
Avery didn't pay attention to him and continued, "If the Lordsworth Estate is genuinely eyeing the five districtsand aims to expand its influence there, then why hand the white flag over to the Gordon family in the dense
forest? They have already eliminated all obstacles from the Bartitsu Guild. The only remaining force, the Gordonfamily, poses no real threat to them. If they want to take control of the five districts, they could simply crush theGordon family and have their own people raise the flag, right? So, handing the white flag to the Gordon family isclearly meant to support the Bartitsu Guild, and they have no interest in the five districts. Furthermore, I believethe individual from the Lordsworth Estate isn't that foolish. It's absurd to go through all this trouble and make apublic declaration about using the Gordon family to control the five districts. If they genuinely had suchintentions, they would be incredibly naive."
Listening to these words, Matthew gradually became convinced, but he still felt upset.
"That person from the Lordsworth Estate is as slippery as an eel. Now they've made this move, giving anopportunity to the Bartitsu Guild for free. It's sheer arrogance! Making way? As if our Guild couldn't handle it!"novelbin
