The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1172
Stella had managed to overcome her earlier humiliation and was now brimming with a sense of pride.
She confidently reassured Matthew, “Mr. Lozano, you can trust that the Jennings family will excel!”
On Neera's side, the expressions grew increasingly somber.
Shane had clearly not anticipated the turn of events, and the situation was becoming more complex by the minute.
Both he and Avery understood that the Gordon family was now in a precarious situation, and there was no choice but to participate.
As various factions began to disperse after the meeting, Neera left the venue and was intercepted by Stella.
Charles, ever vigilant, quickly positioned himself in front of Neera and sternly questioned, “What do you want?”
Stella recalled the scratch on her neck from earlier, inflicted by this man, and it fueled her anger and unease.
She gave him an unfriendly look before shifting her gaze beyond him to Neera, her eyes filled with mockery.
“Neera, I'm looking forward to seeing how long someone can shield you. Let me tell you, the forest is no place for the faint-hearted. When you enter, make sure you stay alive. Be cautious, and don't meet your end in there.”
She concluded with a malevolent smile.
Neera paid little attention to Stella's taunts and simply walked away.
When she returned home, Robin and Baxter were waiting in the living room.
Robin eagerly inquired, “How did it go? Did they finalize the rules for the district president's election?”
Shane nodded and somberly explained the details.
Baxter, however, responded with mockery and sarcasm.
“Well, this is just perfect. Even if you didn't want to participate, now you have to. I've said it before, the Gordon family can't stay out of this as a member of Bartitsu Guild. Our new family head is being too naive. The forest is full of dangers. Staying alive with all your limbs intact is no easy feat. Plus, there will be other family factions fighting in there. The situation is incredibly complicated. If it were anyone else, they might stand a chance, but considering the Gordon family's circumstances, it's nearly impossible. We should bring Chad back to deal with the mess he created!”
Robin, growing impatient, snapped, “Enough! Do we need such sarcasm from you when things have reached this point?”
He was also frustrated and couldn't help but complain, “What's the deal with the neutral faction? Why did they suddenly establish these rules?”
Neera, eager to understand, asked, “What is the neutral faction?”
Avery explained, “The neutral faction is a very ancient family within Phison. Despite being a single entity, it holds a position on par with Bartitsu Guild and Lordsworth Estate. What sets them apart is their neutrality. They don't take sides in the conflicts between Bartitsu Guild and Lordsworth Estate, which grants them certain privileges, such as the authority to set rules.”
Neera had no idea such a faction existed in Phison, as she hadn't paid much attention to it before.
Avery furrowed his brow and admitted, “I thought that binding you with the Cox family would make things smoother and help you avoid many troubles. Now it seems to have backfired, as we can't even abstain from the election. It's my oversight.”
Neera didn't blame Avery for their predicament.
She responded, “Actually, it's not your fault. The Gordon family has drawn too much attention this time. If they wanted us to participate, they would have found a reason, regardless of our ties to the Cox family. The Gordon family has no choice but to take part now.”
Avery nodded and said, “You're right. We have to select the right people, and your safety in the forest is the top priority. It's a perilous place, and once you're inside, everyone and everything becomes a potential adversary. We need to plan every move carefully and be extra cautious.”
His tone softened as he continued, trying to reassure Neera, “However, you shouldn't be afraid. This time, I'll send the best experts from the Cox family to protect you. You can trust us to bring you back safely.”
Shane added, “That's right. I'll make sure to assemble a strong team as well. No matter what challenges arise, we won't allow you to be in danger.”
Neera reluctantly agreed.
At this point, she had no other option.
She hadn't been to the forest and didn't know much about it, but she could sense the danger.
She wasn't without fear, and the thought of her family and Jean weighed heavily on her mind.
If something were to happen to her, how would Aunt Adriana, Grandpa, Grandma, her children, and Jean cope? And...
And there was Jean.
What would he do if he found out about this?
She confidently reassured Matthew, “Mr. Lozano, you can trust that the Jennings family will excel!”
