Neither Was Willing To Back Down
The next day, the group packed up and headed toward the Fighting Arts Guild base.
On the way there, Shane asked with concern, “Are you nervous?”

Neera chuckled and replied, “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. It feels like we’re heading toward a
wolf’s den. But it’s fine. Since we’re already on our way, we might as well be at peace with it. We’ll just
deal with whatever comes our way.”
Seeing that she was able to remain optimistic, Shane chuckled and said, “You sure are carefree. It
seems like I worried for nothing.”
Neera let out a helpless sigh and replied, “There’s no other way. Now that I’m the head of the family, I
should able to bear the responsibilities that come with it. If I can’t even face such minor issues, how
can I lead the family?”
Shane was relieved upon hearing that and said, “I’m glad that you think this way. Don’t worry, with me
around, no one would dare to harm you.”
The man’s words instantly filled Neera’s heart with warmth, and her anxiety was significantly eased.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Fighting Arts Guild base.
Neera was astounded by the majestic building in front of her the moment she got out of the car.
The building was huge and ancient-looking, as if it had been around for a long time. One could feel a
sense of solemnity and oppression just by looking at it.
Shane walked around the front of the car, making his way to Neera’s side to give her a brief
introduction of the place.
“This building is the guild’s base. Usually, meetings will be held here when the guild has important
matters to discuss. Come on, let’s go in.”
Neera nodded. Gazing at the majestic and spectacular ancient-looking building, she took a deep breath
before stepping forward and striding steadily into the building.
Perhaps it was her mind playing tricks on her, but the moment she entered the hall, she could feel an
invisible pressure enveloping her.
At that moment, the hall was already filled with quite a few people, each of them looking like they were
not to be trifled with.
The arrival of Neera instantly quieted the previously bustling atmosphere.
All eyes were on her, with gazes scrutinizing her from every angle.
In comparison, those people showed much more respect toward Avery,
When they saw the man standing next to Neera, most of the people present stood up and took the
initiative to greet him.
“Mr. Cox, long time no see.”
Avery wore a calm expression as he nodded in acknowledgement and replied politely, “It’s been a while
since we
-last met.”
Then, he began introducing Neera to everyone.
“I presume you all haven’t met her yet. This is the new head of the Gordon family, who has been invited
to participate in today’s meeting.”
With his words, naturally, those who behaved respectfully to him earlier could not continue to treat
Neera coldly.
Immediately, those people started to greet Neera.
Neera was fully alert at that moment. Standing tall and with a calm expression on her face, she said,
“Hello, it’s nice meeting all of you. I look forward to your support.”
Just then, an eerie laughter suddenly sounded as an old man began to speak.
“It’s such a surprise that the head of the Cox family is also here. I heard that you’ve been away from
Phison these days and thought you’ve lost interest in the district president’s election, but here you are,
back again.”
Avery looked toward the direction of the sound, his expression indifferent.
The elder who was speaking was Solomon Gardner, the current head of the Gardner family.
The two families never saw eye to eye. Whenever they met, nothing good ever came out of their
mouths. Avery had long grown accustomed to that and replied placidly, “The district president’s election
is a major event of Bartitsu Guild. As a member of the guild, how can the Cox family be absent? You’re
overthinking, Mr. Gardner.”
Showing no signs of relenting, Solomon replied, “Really? I thought you came today because you had
taken a fancy to the position of district president. But given how nonchalant you are, it doesn’t seem
like it.”
Avery could tell that he was testing waters and tactfully replied using the elder’s line of reasoning,
“Everyone present today has been invited, including the Cox family. Naturally, I have to be present. If
showing up implies ambition, then doesn’t it mean that you have it too? Are you suggesting that the
Gardner family is keen on competing and that you’re reminding other families to clear the path for
you?”
Solomon’s brows instantly furrowed before he replied in an unpleasant tone, “It’s been a while since we
last met. I see that you have developed an increasingly sharp tongue, Mr. Gordon.”
Avery smirked slightly and replied in an unconcerned manner, “When faced with someone who’s
deliberately looking for trouble, it’s only natural to be sharp in response. I won’t let anyone take
advantage of me and tarnish my reputation for no reason. That’s certainly not the style of our Cox
family.”
The two were at loggerheads, neither willing to back down.
Upon seeing the situation, the others around them tacitly kept their mouths shut, quietly watching the
unfolding drama.
