The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1201

Upon hearing this, everyone carefully stepped aside to avoid the confrontation.

However, due to the narrowness of the open space, they inevitably ended up crossing paths with the two forces engaged in combat.

With just one glance, Caleb's expression subtly changed.

Meanwhile, the two forces were solely focused on their current conflict, paying no attention to others. Consequently, no one noticed Caleb and his people.

Observing the situation, Neera breathed a sigh of relief and stuck close to Finnley, eager to leave this "battlefield" as soon as possible.

However, Caleb remained motionless.

Naturally, his people also came to a halt.

Neera turned around and saw them standing still. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Mr. Medicina, why aren't you moving? Hurry up and catch up."

Upon hearing the sound, Shane stopped. "What's wrong?"

He glanced at Caleb, then at the two groups fighting each other, noticing something. "Do you know these people?"

Caleb's eyes darkened slightly, his previous carefree demeanor vanishing without a trace.

"Yes, these are the people from Lordsworth Estate, the Beasley family, who have collaborated with the Medicina family before."

Shane understood. "So, you want to help them?"

Caleb nodded. "They're at a disadvantage now, and I can't just stand by and watch them perish. Mr. Gordon, you guys should go ahead. Don't get involved in this matter anymore. Once I've dealt with this situation, I'll catch up with you."

"Sorry, but I have to disagree," Shane shook his head. "You've been supporting the Gordon family all this time. Now that you're in trouble, wouldn't we be utterly heartless if we just walk away? The Gordon family can't do such a thing. We'll stay and help you."

Caleb was somewhat taken aback, quickly furrowing his brows.

"But Lordsworth Estate and Bartitsu Guild have always been at odds. Along this journey, the Gordon family and the Medicina family traveling together is already somewhat inappropriate. If we were to help save the forces from Lordsworth Estate, I'm afraid the Gordon family's situation with Bartitsu Guild would become even more difficult. I've heard that Ms. Garcia was previously questioned by the Gordon family elders and the people from Bartitsu Guild because of matters related to Lordsworth Estate. So, it's best if you leave."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Neera, who had come over, calmly and firmly rejected his suggestion.

"The relationship between Lordsworth Estate and Bartitsu Guild is not good, but that has nothing to do with our two families. The stance between the powers does not represent the position of the Gordon family. I remember all the help that the Medicina family has given to the Gordon family. Naturally, we won't just leave you behind."

Shane pointed ahead. "If you continue to resist, the people of Lordsworth Estate may not be able to hold on any longer."

He recognized another force, the Frazier family, affiliated with the Ancient Martial Arts Guild.

Seeing their determination to help, Caleb no longer declined their offer.

"Alright, thank you all very much. Let's get going!"

As soon as the words were spoken, he and Shane gave their respective orders, and their men charged forward.

Over there, both the Frazier and Beasley families were taken aback, not expecting someone to suddenly intervene.

Due to the sudden and overwhelming arrival of the Gordon and Medicina families, the situation was swiftly resolved. It was akin to cutting through tangled hemp with a sharp knife.

The Beasley family was rescued, while the Frazier family attempted to escape, but they were intercepted and captured by the Gordon family.

"You... You are from the Gordon family!"

The members of the Frazier family recognized Shane and Neera and immediately started questioning them.

"The Gordon family is part of Bartitsu Guild, yet you don't share our enmity against the Beasley family. Instead, you're colluding with the Medicina family! What are your intentions? Aren't you afraid of the guild's punishment?"

Shane grabbed him by the collar, sneering coldly, "Stop using the guild as an excuse in front of me. If you dare, go ahead and report us, the Gordon family, to the guild. I'd love to see if you have the guts to do that!"

"What... What are you trying to do? Are you going to attack your own people?" The person was instantly filled with shock and anger.

At that moment, Neera also sneered.

"If we're talking about taking action, hasn't that already happened just now? As for being on the same side, that's not necessarily the case. Once we enter this dense forest, what's the difference whether we're from Lordsworth Estate or Bartitsu Guild? Isn't every power just looking out for their own family's interests? Do you really think the guild's forces would give way to each other and not fight for the white flag?"

The person was instantly speechless, his face turning red.

Shane had no patience for his nonsense and asked him directly, "Tell me. Why did you target the Beasley family? We're still a long way from the white flag on the mountaintop."

The person gritted his teeth, stubbornly retorting, "Why do you have so many questions? If they're the enemy, of course, we fight whenever we want to!"

At that moment, someone from the Beasley family shouted, "We've been ambushed by them!"

"Ambush? What's going on?" Caleb had a vague feeling that something was off and immediately pressed for answers.

While it was normal to encounter conflicts along the way, they usually only escalated into major battles after significant conflicts.

But it was not yet the critical moment, and the Beasley family wasn't exactly a formidable opponent. Why should they go out of their way to ambush them?
