Chapter 1390

Avery inquired, “Really?”

Neera also expressed doubt. “Mr. Wiley, although Lordsworth Estate is powerful and on par with the

Bartitsu Guild, they usually try to maintain peace on the surface and avoid interfering with each other.

But if they accept both of our families, it will openly create a conflict with the Bartitsu Guild. I’m afraid

this might bring significant trouble to Lordsworth Estate…”

Colin didn’t take her concerns seriously. He simply laughed it off, dismissing her words as insignificant.

“Ms. Garcia, I understand your concern for Lordsworth Estate, but rest assured, they won’t care at all.

The Bartitsu Guild holds no significance to Lordsworth Estate.”

His arrogance was truly overwhelming, leaving both Neera and Avery somewhat uncertain.

Colin looked at them, his eyes clear and sincere.

“If the Bartitsu Guild truly dares to openly confront Lordsworth Estate, I would actually admire those old

fellows in the guild. However… they lack the courage. And even if a conflict were to arise, it wouldn’t

involve your two families. To be honest, Lordsworth Estate and the Bartitsu Guild have been at odds for

a long time, tolerating each other. If this matter were to trigger an outbreak, it might actually be

beneficial.”

Neera was momentarily speechless.

These two major forces had been engaged in a back-and-forth battle. It wouldn’t be surprising if a real

conflict were to break out.

However, if a conflict were to arise because of the Cox and Gordon families, she would still feel

somewhat guilty.

But apart from Lordsworth Estate, the Gordon family and the Cox family had no other options left.

With this in mind, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Colin continued calmly, “Lordsworth Estate has never demanded any contributions from the forces

under its command. Allow me to be bold. The power of Lordsworth Estate is enough to counterbalance

the Bartitsu Guild. The families under our command are just an added bonus. Ms. Garcia, Mr. Cox, the

strength of your families is evident to all. Your presence is always welcome and appreciated, but this

does not mean that Lordsworth Estate needs you to do anything. On the contrary, I can promise on

behalf of the entire Lordsworth Estate that we will never force the Cox and Gordon families to serve

us.”

Avery asked, “Then what does Lordsworth Estate require us to do?”

Colin smiled slightly. “You don’t need to do anything special. All your families need to do is abide by the

rules within the territory of Lordsworth Estate. As long as you don’t cause trouble or create chaos,

everything will be peaceful. Lordsworth Estate will not interfere with the development of your families in

any way. On the contrary, if you encounter any difficulties after coming to Lordsworth Estate, you can

come to me at any time. I will provide you with unconditional help.”

Neera was stunned.

Before she arrived, she had prepared herself for the challenges ahead.

“Surprisingly, none of her assumptions came true, and all her prepared speeches had no chance to be

used.

She was a bit puzzled. “Mr. Wiley, I mean no disrespect, but I don’t understand. What benefits does this

bring to Lordsworth Estate?”

Before she arrived, she had prepared herself for the challenges ahead.

Surprisingly, none of her assumptions came true, and all her prepared speeches had no chance to be

used.

She was a bit puzzled. “Mr. Wiley, I mean no disrespect, but I don’t understand. What benefits does this

bring to Lordsworth Estate?”

Everything happens for a reason, and there is a purpose to everything, whether it is good or bad. The

world is always changing, and everything is for the benefit of the future.

What is the purpose behind Lordsworth Estate’s relentless efforts?

Colin knew what she was thinking. He leaned back in his chair, exuding an air of nonchalant ease. His

words were casual, yet they carried an undeniable truth that left no room for doubt.

“I’ve said it before, Ms. Garcia, you are the savior of our lord. If you and the Gordon family are in

trouble, Lordsworth Estate cannot possibly stand by and do nothing. Even if you didn’t come to me, I

would have taken the initiative to contact you. Your joining Lordsworth Estate is the best thing for us.novelbin

As for the Cox family, since they are close to the Gordon family, Lordsworth Estate will naturally lend a

hand. Moreover, with both of your families being so powerful, Lordsworth Estate will never be at a

disadvantage no matter how you look at it.”

“Never mind,” he added with a meaningful smile. “Lordsworth Estate values democracy and never

forces anyone to do something they don’t like. Ms. Garcia, Mr. Cox, once you’re here, you’ll see the

benefits. I believe it will be a hundred times more comfortable than your time with the Bartitsu Guild.”

After bidding farewell to Colin at the entrance of the cafe, Neera let out a sigh of relief.

Avery asked, “Do you think his words are trustworthy?”

“Hmm…” Neera considered his response. “Although the outcome was unexpected, I don’t think he was

lying. Moreover, I don’t believe he has any reason to deceive us.”

Avery didn’t immediately respond, silently speculating in his mind.

No matter how I look at it, Neera’s right.

Lordsworth Estate is very powerful. There’s absolutely no need for them to deceive us into joining

them.

The so-called grand Lordsworth Estate is all for show, nothing more than a series of polite

pleasantries.

The reason he welcomed us so warmly is most likely related to the lord of Lordsworth Estate.

Avery couldn’t help but grow increasingly curious. Just who is this lord who would go to such lengths

for the sake of a favor?

In the past, they had all sorts of safeguards in place and even surrendered the position of district

president without a fight. Now, they unflinchingly offer refuge to the Gordon family…

His eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

Seeing his silence, Neera asked, “So, do you still not want to rely on Lordsworth Estate?”

Snapping back to reality, Avery hesitated for a moment before honestly replying, “I don’t want to, but

the current situation leaves me no choice.”

Indeed, he had no other options.
