The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398

This news quickly caused a stir throughout Phison, sparking a flurry of discussions.

Netizen A: Is this true? The Cox family has served the Bartitsu Guild for generations. How could they suddenly switch to Lordsworth Estate? Can we trust this news?

Netizen B: What are you thinking? This is an official statement from the Bartitsu Guild. How can it be false? The Cox family leaving the Bartitsu Guild for Lordsworth Estate is a done deal.

Netizen C: I always felt that the Cox family has been acting mysteriously these past few days, going in and out of District Fourteen. So, they were actually moving. But why?

Netizen D: What else could it be? It’s definitely because of internal strife. The Bartitsu Guild unjustly blamed the Cox family, using unfounded accusations. The Cox family is certainly not pleased and is ready to break ties, becoming sworn enemies with them. I must say, the Bartitsu Guild is being unfair. After all, the Cox family has served the guild for many years. Even if they haven’t made significant contributions, they’ve certainly put in the effort. Moreover, the new head of the Gordon family, who managed to secure the position of district president, also owes part of her success to the Cox family. Not long ago, the Bartitsu Guild even sent the Cox family to take over Adieu Island and deal with the Jagger family. How can they turn their backs on them so easily? Don’t they have any shame?

Netizen E: Exactly. If I were the head of the Cox family, I would have rebelled too!

Netizen F: What’s going on here? It feels like a fight is about to break out. I hope the innocent aren’t caught in the crossfire. I’m scared…

Soon, different voices emerged.

Netizen G: I’m siding with the Bartitsu Guild on this one. The Cox family has been serving the guild for many years, and the guild has never treated the Cox family unfairly. The guild has rewarded the Cox family for their past contributions, promoting the head of the Cox family to become the second elder. This kind of promotion is not something everyone can achieve. Some families don’t even get this opportunity for generations. Isn’t this significant enough?

Netizen H: Exactly. Who said it was the Bartitsu Guild who falsely accused them? Do you have any evidence? You’re just talking nonsense here, distorting right and wrong. Isn’t it a fact that the Cox family built an armory on their own? What was the purpose of building this armory? Is it because they have nothing better to do or is it for smuggling and trading?

Netizen I: It’s common knowledge that Phison does not allow the use and private possession of firearms. Have some people become senile that they can’t even remember this?

Netizen J: The Cox family clearly deserves what’s coming to them. They suddenly attacked other families before, and now they’re stirring up this kind of trouble: In my opinion, it’s the Cox family who should be ashamed.

These voices, without a doubt, were either from the Cox family’s enemies or the internet trolls sent by the Bartitsu Guild.

They needed this to make their move against the Cox family.

While the internet was buzzing with uproar, there was also unrest within the Cox family.

The elders of the Cox family had been at odds for several days over the matter of leaving the Bartitsu Guild to join Lordsworth Estate.

The faction that agreed with Avery was primarily led by the first elder, Rio, and the second elder, Ronald.
