The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1233

Those words were spoken with such conviction that all members of the forces within Lordsworth Estate were taken aback, nodding in agreement one after another.

"That's correct. The Lordsworth Estate is not to be trifled with!"

"The Jennings family wanted to belittle us and cause trouble. If we don't eliminate the Jennings family, the dignity of Lordsworth Estate will be tarnished!"

"Even an insignificant clan like the Jennings family dares to oppose Lordsworth Estate. Could it be that your Bartitsu Guild has some hidden motives?"

"We must execute the Jennings family! Otherwise, Lordsworth Estate will never find peace!"

The scene immediately erupted into chaos, and Matthew, watching that spectacle, wore a grimace.

On the other hand, none from the Bartitsu Guild dared to utter a word. The current argument was beyond their level. Since they were guilty, getting involved might lead to their complete annihilation.

In the end, Matthew still made a concession.

He knew that he couldn't afford not to compromise. If he openly fell out with Lordsworth Estate because of the Jennings family, it might lead to an uprising.

By then, not only would he have trouble explaining the situation to the president of the Bartitsu Guild, but it would also be a significant blow to the guild!

With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and gave himself a way out. "Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down. I have no intention of protecting the Jennings family. The atrocities they've committed are undeniable facts. As the vice president of the Bartitsu Guild, I am naturally even more outraged than you are. Even if Mr. Wiley hadn't spoken up today, I would have certainly disciplined the entire Jennings family upon my return. However, since Mr. Wiley has made this request, I will certainly not refuse for the sake of maintaining harmony between the two powers. Here, I declare that from this day forward, the Jennings family is no longer a member of the Bartitsu Guild!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Jennings family turned ashen, and they instantly became dejected.

They stood no chance to turn the tables now that the Bartitsu Guild and Lordsworth Estate had joined forces to condemn them.

Members of Lordsworth Estate were quite delighted. They clapped and applauded, some even whistled, all appearing immensely satisfied.

Matthew watched the scene somberly.

He never imagined that the election of a district president could cost the guild an entire family.

Fortunately, the most important goal of this election was achieved. The Gordon family surrendered.

From District Twenty-One to District Twenty-Five, the presidency of those five districts eventually fell into the hands of the Bartitsu Guild.

Once the formal handover was complete and the five districts were incorporated into the guild, the guild's power would greatly increase. Matthew would then have plenty of time to deal with Lordsworth Estate properly!

With that thought, he managed to find some semblance of balance in his heart.

However, his concession left the forces of the Bartitsu Guild silent, each feeling chills running down their spines.

Neera felt inexplicably frightened.

That was her first time truly experiencing the formidable and powerful nature of Lordsworth Estate.

Just a simple sentence from the branch leader could annihilate an entire family!

Such power was simply spine-chilling!

Before long, the entire Jennings family was detained and taken away.

Because of Colin's intervention, the downfall of the Jennings family was inevitable and could not be altered.

The election concluded in a solemn atmosphere.

After the meeting ended, Neera bid farewell to Caleb and his group. "Mr. Medicina, I am deeply grateful for your and your team's tremendous help during this trip to Mount Cloud. I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude. In any case... thank you. I truly appreciate all of you. And Mr. Massey, the same goes for you. Meeting people like you, who are both passionate and righteous, is my good fortune."

Upon hearing those words, Caleb responded with a charming smile, his gentle and refined demeanor tinged with a hint of unrestrained wildness. "Ms. Garcia, you've said 'thank you' many times already. I understand your gratitude, but as I've said before, this small matter is not worth mentioning. You don't need to worry about it."

While rubbing the back of his head, Cayden laughed and said, "Yes, thank goodness, it's finally over. Don't overthink things. The most important thing after we get back is to rest well. When I'm free, I'll come to find you. There's not a single good place to eat, drink, and have fun in the whole Phison that I don't know about. I'll take you to have a good time when the time comes."

Neera and the others were amused by him.

Visibly irked, Darcel responded indifferently, "That won't be necessary. Ms. Garcia will soon assume her position as the district president. She will have a lot of matters to attend to. You should not add to her troubles."

Cayden curled his lips, hummed twice, and stopped talking.

After everyone said their goodbyes, Avery walked over to Neera and gently said, "Let's go. We need to meet the vice president."

"Ah, okay." Neera nodded.

Before she left, it seemed as if she remembered something. She paused slightly, turned her head to look at Darcel, and gave a faint smile. "Goodbye, Darcel."

Darcel arched his brow. The look in his eyes was gentle. He softly said, "Goodbye."

Neera nodded, then turned and walked away.

Unbeknownst to her, Avery was one step behind her, also looking at Darcel.

The gazes of the two men met, their eyes deep and inscrutable as if an invisible tension was rising around them, making the air inexplicably tense.

In the end, it was Darcel who first averted his gaze. Without uttering a word, he indifferently turned and walked away.
