Upon arriving in a new environment, the three children completely let loose and were having a blast.

Neera was also in a rare state of relaxation, casting aside all those troubles as she immersed herself in
this hard- earned moment of happiness.
Two days after she left, Avery finally regained full consciousness. He was no longer in a state of
confusion and drowsiness.
“Satan, you have no idea how long you’ve been asleep. Each time you wake up, it’s only for a brief
moment before you’re fed medicine and fall back asleep. You’ve been surviving on nutrient fluids this
whole time. I’ve been so bored just watching you lie in bed. You owe me…”
Violet was the happiest when he woke up.
At this very moment, he had moved from the medical room to the bedroom. Violet was sitting by his
bed, peeling an orange and chattering non-stop.
Peeling off the orange skin of the fruit, she first popped a segment into her mouth. The sourness turned
her face green, and she ended up tossing the rest to Avery.
“It’s not tasty. Here, you have it.”
Avery had been lying down for so many days, surviving only on nutrient solution, so his body was
extremely weak. He leaned against the head of the bed, wanting to laugh but not having the strength to
do so. He looked at the orange in his hand, unable to lift his arm.
“You’re only giving this to me because it’s not good. Seems like I’ve spoiled you too much.”
Violet pouted, then turned and ran off.
In less than five minutes, she returned with a clatter, now carrying a tray in her hands. On it was a
steaming bowl of oatmeal and some eggs.
“You’re weak, so let me feed you.”
She took the orange from Avery’s hand and threw it away. Then, she picked up the bowl of oatmeal
and began to take care of him, just like how Avery took care of her when she was sick as a child.
After consuming a bowl of plain oatmeal and being fed half a plate of scrambled eggs, he finally
regained some strength.
“Now…” He opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.
Before he could speak, Violet placed the bowl on the bedside table, interrupting him mid-sentence.
“I know what you want to ask. The Jagger family has been subdued, and everyone has been detained
by Irwin and locked up in a warehouse near the auction house. The matter on Adieu Island can be
considered resolved.
However, things are a lot more complicated than they seem…”
She meticulously recounted to him all the recent happenings in the Cox family.
The more Avery listened, the darker his expression became.
At that moment, Rio and Ronald, who were out handling affairs, heard that he had awakened and
hurriedly rushed back,

“Mr. Cox, you’re awake! You’re finally awake!” The elderly Rio was particularly moved as his tears
flowed freely. It was as though a huge weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
Avery nodded. “I apologize for causing you two elders to worry.”
Ronald also shed a couple of tears. Wiping the corners of his eyes, he answered, “No, it’s nothing. As
long as you get better, that’s all that matters.”
“Mm.” Avery started to discuss serious matters. “Mr. Rio, how did the meeting convened by Bartitsu
Guild go?”
Rio wiped his face and immediately began to report.
“Mr. Cox, it seems that the discovery of firearms in the auction house under our family’s name is indeed
the work of the guild. Besides that, I haven’t handed over the evidence of what the Hoffman, Quigley,
and Watson families did. Instead, I held onto it. I believe that the guild won’t genuinely seek justice for
our family, so there’s no need to let them know. Otherwise, I worry that the guild might use this matter
to further suppress us.”
Upon hearing this, Avery let out a cold laugh.
“The guild has long been wary of our Cox family. I already felt something was amiss when they
elevated me to the position of elder. It turns out I was right.”
After some thought, he affirmed, “You both have done well in this matter. The Cox family will never let
the Hoffman, Quigley, and Watson families off for what they did.”
Rio nodded, though a hint of worry soon appeared on his face.
“Mr. Cox, dealing with the Hoffman and Quigley families is relatively easy as they aren’t that powerful.
However, the situation with the Watson family is still uncertain.”
Ronald had been worried about this for several days. “That’s right, Mr. Cox. The Watson family has
been in the guild for many years and haven’t been there for nothing.”
Avery’s eyes darkened slightly. “Over the years, the Watson family has been constantly stirring up
trouble. The resentment between them and the Cox family has been building up for a long time. It’s
about time we settled the score. No matter what the Watson family does, we, the Cox family, will never
swallow our pride and back down!”
With his words, the two elders understood.
The conflict with the Watson family was inevitable, and there was no way things could be settled
peacefully.
“All right, I’ll instruct the others on what needs to be done, and they’ll do it accordingly.”
Avery advised him, “No matter what, try your best not to let anyone gain an advantage over you. Strike
at the weakest point and finish the fight quickly.”
“Understood.”
Now that they had finished discussing official matters, Avery brought up something that had been on
his mind for
a while.
“Where’s Neera? She was the one who treated me, right?”
While drifting in and out of consciousness, he had heard her voice, and it seemed he had also vaguely
glimpsed her face.
“Did I scare her?”
“Well…” The two elders of the Cox family grew hesitant at the mention of this topic.
Instead, it was Violet who responded in her usual crisp voice, “At first, your poisoning was severe,
which indeed gave Neenie á fright. She worked tirelessly for seven to eight hours to pull you back from
the brink of death. She then stayed by your side day and night for two full days, ensuring that you were
truly out of danger before she left. She even fainted when she was leaving…”
