The Powerful Patron
The weight of those words, if spoken by someone else, might not be as heavy.
However, the person before them was second only to the Lord of Phison and the second-in-command
of Lordsworth Estate.

Not to mention that he was the most powerful warrior in Phison, capable of defeating a hundred
enemies single- handedly without even breaking a sweat.
Even if the president of Bartitsu Guild were to come, he would have to be wary of Tiago.
Baxter’s face couldn’t be any gloomier. He was so angry that he felt like he was choking on his own
rage. He was so upset that even breathing seemed to be a struggle.
Even then, he was still reeling from shock, his mind filled with disbelief.
How on earth does this d*mn girl have such a powerful patron?
Even if Baxter didn’t want to believe it, Tiago was right in front of him. Given that it was Tiago who said
all those words, he knew there was no reason to doubt their authenticity.
At that moment, the entire Gordon family fell silent. One by one, they closed their mouths with varied
expressions.
A pin-drop silence subsequently descended upon the vast hall.
While they remained silent, Tiago was in no hurry either. He sat there leisurely, looking utterly at ease.
He didn’t look like he was there to cause trouble but rather to have coffee and a chat.
After a long silence, Robin finally spoke. “Baxter, isn’t it embarrassing enough that things have
escalated to this point? If word of this gets out, the Gordon family will become a laughing stock. So,
let’s not fight over the position of the head of the family anymore and listen to Chad instead.”.
“Robin!” Baxter roared at him.
“That’s enough!” Robin interrupted him with a threatening look in his eyes.
“Can’t you see it yet? The fact that Neera is on good terms with Lordsworth Estate means that she is
someone capable. Chad must have chosen her after considering the matter thoroughly. Our squabbling
here will only cause trouble for the Gordon family.”
After speaking, he turned his gaze toward Neera and smiled.
“We are willing to abide by Chad’s decision, acknowledging you as his successor and honoring you as
the new head of the family.”
With him saying that, the matter was pretty much settled.
Baxter was so angry that he was almost grinding his teeth to pieces. He was seething with hatred
inside, yet he dared not voice any objections.
For one, the current situation had put him at a disadvantage.
Secondly, Tiago’s presence was so domineering that he simply didn’t dare to act rashly.
His silence made it harder for Troy and Ollie to protest any further. Everyone from their faction could
only keep their mouths shut.
When Neera saw how the tide had turned abruptly, she was truly surprised.
She hadn’t expected the issue to be resolved in such a smooth yet dramatic fashion.
What an unexpected path this truly is…
Tiago was quite satisfied with the outcome. “Both of you elders are very wise indeed.”
He even made a point to ask Baxter. “Mr. Baxter, I’ve heard that you’re a man of great wisdom and
foresight, always considering the bigger picture. You don’t have any objections to this, do you?”
Upon receiving such a big compliment, Baxter had no choice but to graciously accept it.
With a reluctant huff, he responded only with his silence.
Tiago broke into a grin. “I’m glad to see that there are no objections. In that case, I’ll take my leave
first.”
As he spoke, he stood up and straightened his jacket, exuding an aura that was haughty yet cool.
“However, let me make one thing clear. I hope that the Gordon family is genuinely committed to serving
Ms. Garcia and not just paying lip service. If anyone harbors ulterior motives and does something
behind the scenes to undermine Ms. Garcia, rest assured that Lordsworth Estate will not let it slide. I
will personally step in to handle the matter. So, anyone with such crooked intentions should first weigh
their own capabilities and consider whether they can afford to offend Lordsworth Estate! Even if you
have the backing of Bartitsu Guild, it won’t make any difference. After all… even if everyone in this
district band together, you still pose no threat to Lordsworth Estate!”
These final words were a blatant warning to everyone.
The Gordon family members present were all so intimidated that they couldn’t help but shudder
uncontrollably.
Tiago swept his gaze around the room, taking in everyone’s expressions. Only then was he satisfied.
He strolled up to Neera and handed over his name card.
“Ms. Garcia, the position of the Gordon family’s head is rightfully yours. You can take over without any
worries, as Lordsworth Estate will be your strongest and most reliable backer. No matter what happens,
you can always reach out to me directly.”
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly to excuse himself, then turned and walked away with an
air of casual elegance.
Neera took a glance at the name card in her hand, still somewhat dazed. Her feet, however, had
already started moving as she chased after Tiago.
“Mr. McClure, please wait a moment.”
Tiago paused, turning back to look at her. “Ms. Garcia, is there something else?”
Neera hesitated for a moment before asking him, “May I know the name of your lord? I owe him and
you a great deal for today’s help. I should at least know who to thank.”
Tiago chuckled, his hands tucked into his trouser pockets. The domineering air he exuded just a
moment ago faded, replaced by a somewhat nonchalant demeanor.
“Ms. Garcia, don’t worry. You’ll find out eventually. And when that time comes… I’m sure you’ll be quite
surprised.”
Leaving behind these cryptic words, he stepped into his Lotus sports car and was gone in the blink of
an eye.
Bewildered, Neera took the name card and returned to the main hall.
This time, the way everyone looked at her was quite peculiar, even somewhat apprehensive.
At that moment, Shane seized the opportunity to speak up. “Since none of you have any objections,
Neera will officially become the new head of the Gordon family from today onwards. Considering that
Uncle, Chad is still with us, you can all address her as Ms. Garcia.”
Naturally, Baxter and the others felt extremely indignant, but the words of Tiago, still echoing in their
ears, left them no choice but to reluctantly address her as “Ms. Garcia.”
The faction led by Robin, quite willingly, bowed respectfully toward Neera in unison. They cried out in a
strong and resolute voice. “Congratulations, Ms. Garcia!”
Neera was still somewhat unaccustomed to this change in status, but she accepted it with a calm and
composed nod.
