Inviting Big Trouble
Before long, the group entered the mansion and sat down facing each other.
The two elders of the Cox family began to report. “The election for district president at Phison is about
to begin. The Cox family has been invited as one of the Eight Elders of Bartitsu Guild. As the Gordon
family is also a major family in Phison, they are naturally invited as well.”
That was the first time Neera had heard the name “Phison”.
She didn’t quite understand and asked with confusion, “What is the election for district president?”
The elders hesitated for a moment and looked at each other, unsure of how to explain.
At that moment, Avery began to speak, answering her questions and clearing her doubts.
“Let me explain,” he said. “Neera, you probably haven’t heard of Phison before, have you?”
Neera willingly nodded in confusion. “What place is that?”
“Phison, as the name suggests, is a city that has emerged independently, apart from the existing Great
Five Cities. There are also entities like countries within them, but in Phison, they are referred to as
districts. Within Phison, one of the most influential powers is the lord of Phison. The other is Bartitsu
Guild. Those two entities balance each other out, holding the most sway in discussions. Yet, they are
incompatible and are considered rivals across generations. On Bartitsu Guild’s side, there are Eight
Elders, and the Cox family is one of them. There are seven major families under the Lord of Phison.
Below those seven, there are numerous smaller families separated into various categories. There are
twenty-five districts in Phison, which you can also consider as twenty-five countries. The Lord of Phison
and Bartitsu Guild each control ten districts. The remaining five districts are lands of chaos. Those who
frequent such places are ruthless individuals. However, over the years, the Lord of Phison and Bartitsu
Guild have been engaged in a strategic game. They each have plans to take control of the remaining
five districts. Therefore, the forces under their command often find themselves clashing against each
other. Decades ago, both parties made an agreement to select a powerful force to rule those five
districts, with a change in leadership every five years.”
Upon ending his sentence, he turned to look at Neera, his gaze somewhat profound. “During the
previous election, the Gordon family was also on the candidate list. However, Mr. Gordon wasn’t
interested, so he decisively withdrew. Unfortunately, the Gordon family has been selected again this
time.”
Neera was puzzled. It took a moment before she gradually digested what Avery had said.
Meeting Avery’s gaze, she was somewhat taken aback, not expecting things to be so complicated.
“Uncle Chad doesn’t want to do it, and neither do I. Perhaps the Gordon family should withdraw this
time as well.” Neera couldn’t even figure out her own affairs at that moment, and she was already
exhausted every day. She simply didn’t have the energy or inclination to deal with something like the
election.
However, the two elders vetoed her idea. “A few years ago, that may have been acceptable, but this
time, we may be at a disadvantage. It’s said that the Lord of Phison hasn’t been seen for nearly five or
six years. Many people speculate that he might have had an accident. Therefore, Bartitsu Guild has
issued a strict order that the Gordon family must participate in the election this time!”
Avery apologized. “The Gordon family and the Cox family have always been close. In a way, they are
under the Cox family.”
He advised earnestly, “I know you aren’t interested in this, but it’s best not to offend Bartitsu Guild. If
things go wrong, it may lead to the downfall of the Gordon family!”
Upon hearing that, Neera couldn’t help but frown. She hadn’t expected the situation to be that serious.
Seeing her serious expression, Avery began to laugh elegantly. “You don’t have to be so nervous.
Nothing is absolute. If you really don’t want to, I can help you. I can talk to the president on your behalf.
As soon as those words were spoken, the two elders exchanged glances, both wanting to say
something.
It was true that the Cox family was one of the Eight Elders and had a certain degree of influence.
However, in reality, the competition among the Eight Elders was fierce, with many of them being rivals
of the Cox family.
In other words, if Avery acted like that, it might invite some serious trouble to the Cox family.
