“The Jagger family has had a presence in Phison for over a hundred years, maintaining a steady, albeit
unremarkable, status. Initially, they were compliant with the guild, never having any conflicts. However,
there was a time when the guild assigned the Jagger family a mission. The task was so significant that
many members were mobilized, including the head of the Jagger family at that time. Unexpectedly, the
mission proved to be extremely challenging. They encountered an accident, and even the head of the
Jagger family was seriously injured. Although the mission was ultimately accomplished, the head of the
Jagger family missed the best opportunity for treatment. After returning home, he passed away without
receiving any medical attention. The guild, however, showed no concern for this matter. They didn’t
even offer a word of condolence. This indifference led to the Jagger family holding a grudge against the
guild. Subsequently, without informing the guild, the Jagger family moved to an isolated island. There,
they set up camp and began to govern themselves. From that point on, they no longer obeyed the
guild’s orders.”
Neera exclaimed, “I never knew about this part of the past. Speaking of it, the guild really did act
unscrupulously, disappointing the Jagger family.”
“Indeed, the Jagger family had fought tooth and nail for the guild. Even the head of the family was
sacrificed. But in the end, the guild doesn’t care at all. The only thing they value is the immediate
benefits. How could the Jagger family possibly tolerate this? Cutting ties with the guild was inevitable.”
Shane narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a subtle nuance. “However, the Jagger family did some
questionable things later on. The/deceased head of the family, who was the father of the current head,
Stanley, engaged in some questionable activities. After Stanley inherited his father’s position, he
proved to be quite shrewd. Despite his young age, he managed to elevate the Jagger family to a higher
level. He even fortified the island so tightly that it was impervious to any attack. He often clashed with
the guild and even arrested some of their members. It could be seen as a form of retaliation against the
guild.”
Neera felt that there was nothing wrong with the Jagger family acting this way. “It’s not that the Jagger
family’s actions are commendable, of course. Hurting others is always wrong. However, it was the guild
that betrayed them first. If the Jagger family were to retaliate, frankly, their actions could hardly be
deemed as extreme.”
Shane nodded. “That’s true. However, dealing with the current Jagger family is extremely difficult. To
reach the island, we must first pass through the sea. Whether there will be ambushes or unexpected
incidents, no one can be certain. Moreover, whether we can successfully land on the island after
approaching the coast is also an unknown factor. Considering the widespread rumors about this matter,
the Jagger family must have received the news by now and will soon be prepared to respond. The
security on the island will undoubtedly be tightened, making it even more difficult for the Cox family.”
Neera’s brows furrowed slightly. She was worried.
“Will this journey of the Cox family be dangerous? When it comes to strength, how does the Jagger
family compare to the Cox family? Who is superior?”
Shane replied, “It’s not as simple as comparing who’s superior or inferior. If we talk about sheer power,
the Cox family seems to have the upper hand at the moment. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that
the Jagger family holds a geographical advantage. The island they occupy is easy to defend but hard
to attack, and one has to cross a sea filled with dangers. It’s hard to say who has the advantage. The
guild has tried to reclaim the Jagger family before, but all attempts have been unsuccessful. Now,
they’ve specifically sent the Cox family. Well, I must say, they’re really cunning. They don’t even want to
try anymore and want to sit back and reap the benefits.”
Neera vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.
“Isn’t the current Cox family just like the Jagger family of the past? The Jagger family also accepted a
difficult task from the guild, which led to the family head’s misfortune. Now, the guild has assigned a
challenging task to the Cox family. If something unexpected happens to the Cox family, won’t they
become the next Jagger family? Isn’t this just the guild repeating their old tricks!”
Shane took a sip of coffee, then poured a cup for her, signaling her not to rush.
“Indeed, you can put it that way. The guild has planned this from the very beginning. They accurately
predicted that the Cox family would support the Gordon family and that the Cox family would speak for
you at the elder’s meeting. They smoothly facilitated your ascension to the ninth elder seat, which then
gave them an excuse to promote Avery. Now that Avery has become the second elder, the guild can
naturally use this as a pretext, asking him to reciprocate the guild’s attention, to set an example for the
guild, and to make contributions.”
Neera did not think that these maneuvers of the guild would have such deep implications.
“The Bartitsu Guild is really acting quite unfairly and unethically, don’t you think? The forces under their
command are all their helpers. It’s clearly a mutually beneficial group, so why are they still so
calculating?”
Upon hearing this, Shane let out a cold chuckle.
“The Bartitsu Guild has always been like this. Nothing matters more than their own interests. Any
power that can bring prosperity and benefits to the guild becomes their pawn. As for those third-rate
powers, they are merely disposable pieces to the guild, useless if they can’t serve a purpose. Isn’t the
Jennings family a perfect example? Once they lost their value, the guild didn’t care about their fate.
Even when a large number of people from Lordsworth Estate stormed into the guild’s territory and took
away an entire family, the guild turned a blind eye. They ignored such a major incident. Is there
anything the guild wouldn’t do?”
Neera was growing more and more worried now, her face full of concern.
“Can’t Mr Cox refuse this task? This journey is too dangerous. Who knows what might happen.”
