The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1121
After Asher left with Cloud, Nathaniel asked Jean, “What's your next move?”
Jean spoke in a cold voice. “I want to go to that place.”
He didn't make it explicit, but Nathaniel understood what he was referring to immediately.
“Do you also suspect that, as Asher suggested, those in the upper echelons of the black market might be influenced or manipulated by forces from that place?” he inquired.
The two seemed to be speaking in riddles, each fully aware of what the other was thinking.
Jean nodded. “There's also a possibility that the forces there are fully in control. Who knows?”
Nathaniel's expression turned solemn as he nodded. “It seems we're on the same page. I also believe that's more likely.”
Then, he asked, “When are you leaving?”
“I'll leave first thing in the morning,” Jean replied. “I'm afraid I won't be able to return for a while this time. Nathaniel, I'm entrusting everything here to your care.”
Naturally, Nathaniel had no objections, but he was somewhat surprised. “So soon?”
Jean gave a brief explanation, “Neera went there. I need to bring her back. Besides, the situation there is chaotic. They're about to hold a district president election conference soon. I'm afraid some trouble might be stirred up again. I need to go back and handle some things first.”
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel became even more puzzled.
He had long been aware of the relationship between his cousin and that woman, and he also knew some details about Neera, which was why he was so surprised at this moment.
Furthermore, he also knew that there was going to be an election for the district president in Phison.
However, Neera should have nothing to do with Phison. Why would she go to that kind of place?
“She went there as the successor of the Gordon family.”
“The successor of the Gordon family?”
Recently, Nathaniel had been busy investigating Asher's affairs, so he hadn't been paying attention to the Gordon family's matters. He was even more surprised when he heard that.
“Isn't she from the Garcia family? How did she suddenly become the successor of the Gordon family? She doesn't even share the same surname with the Gordons. Will the Gordon family accept her?”
Jean couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness as he thought about the series of events that had recently occurred.
“This is a long story. I'll tell you all about it when we have free time.”
Nathaniel didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement. “All right. Be extra careful over there. If anything comes up, feel free to contact me at any time.”
Jean nodded, patting Nathaniel's shoulder. “Thanks.”
It was already very late into the night by the time they finished dealing with Asher.
When Jean returned home, it was already midnight. He quickly washed up and went to sleep.
The next day, he went to see Frederic and Wrenn first.
“You're going to Phison?” Frederic furrowed his brow upon hearing his words.
Wrenn also had a worried look on her face, “Why are you going there? I thought you were going to Essley to find Neera?”
Knowing they were worried, Jean comforted them with a gentle voice, I'm going over there to bring Neera back. It's quite a long story, but rest assured, everything will be fine.”
Just like Nathaniel, the two elders were also confused when they heard about this, having no idea what was going on.
However, they knew their son well. When he set his mind on something, there was no swaying him from his course.
Frederic let out a resigned sigh and remarked, “If you must go, then go, but please take care of your health. You've recently had a car accident and another episode. The journey will take more than twenty hours. You might not be able to handle it.”
Jean smiled. “Don't worry, I know my limits. Neera left me some medicine she specially prepared before she left. I'll take it on time.”
After bidding farewell to his parents, he set off immediately with Cloud, Storm, and Ian, heading toward Phison.
As he was about to step out of the hospital, Wrenn suddenly rushed out, calling after him, “Jean, wait a moment!”
Jean paused in his tracks, turning back to look at his mother. “Mom, is there anything else?”
Wrenn walked up to him, hesitated for a moment, then said, “When you get there and see Neera, could you apologize for me again? I was foolish before, I made many mistakes that hindered your relationship. It was my fault. I don't expect her to forgive me, I just hope that my past mistakes won't affect her feelings for you, as well as the relationship between the two of you and the three children. I won't ask for anything else. Even if those three children refuse to acknowledge me and your father, we're fine with it. Nothing else matters as long as you all can be well and happy.”
She forced a sorrowful smile after saying that.
“Go on. Go and bring Neera back from that place. You all must be safe and sound. Only then can your father and I be at ease.”
Jean gazed at her for a long while without saying anything. In the end, he gave her a hug.
Even though the hug only lasted a brief while, emotional tears still welled up in Wrenn's eyes.
“Be careful and have a safe journey,” she urged again, holding back her tears.
Jean nodded slightly, then turned around and strode away.
The journey from Essley to Phison covered half the globe, and the flight took nearly twenty hours.
When Neera disembarked from the plane, she stretched her body. Her back and waist felt sore.
Avery asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
“I'm fine.” Neera stretched her waist, shook her head, and surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings. “Where is this place?”
“This is District Fourteen within the jurisdiction of Bartitsu Guild, which is also the Cox family's stronghold. Let's settle down in the Cox residence first. The situation with the Gordon family is currently chaotic. You don't know any of the elders living here, which is even more troublesome. So, for now, let's not go there,” Avery explained to her.
After some thought, Neera felt that it made sense.
She was utterly unfamiliar with this place and needed someone to guide her.
And so, the group set off for the Cox family's headquarters.
As the car arrived at its destination, Neera was taken aback by the towering structure before her eyes.
This was an extraordinarily luxurious mansion with security that was exceptionally stringent, unlike anything she had ever seen before.
Jean spoke in a cold voice. “I want to go to that place.”
He didn't make it explicit, but Nathaniel understood what he was referring to immediately.
“Do you also suspect that, as Asher suggested, those in the upper echelons of the black market might be influenced or manipulated by forces from that place?” he inquired.
