Matthew chuckled coldly. “Indeed, the Bartitsu Guild will not deprive the autonomy of the families under
its command, but it’s not a complete indulgence either. Otherwise, what kind of mess would the guild
get into? We would become a laughingstock! Some things are better prevented before they happen!”
Neera raised one end of her dark eyebrows slightly. “Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Lozano? I don’t quite
understand.”
“You don’t quite understand?” Matthew glanced at her sideways. “I think you’re just pretending to be
confused when you actually know what’s going on.”
Neera replied evasively, “Mr. Lozano, you’ve misunderstood. I truly don’t know what you’re trying to
say. I’m a straightforward person. I don’t like beating around the bush. If you have something to say,
just say it. There’s no need to be so secretive and speak in riddles here.”
“Hmph!” Matthew sneered disdainfully. “You think I enjoy wasting my time here with you? I’ve kept
silent until now, not wanting to embarrass you, to leave you some dignity. Neera, why do
you think I promoted you to the second elder seat? Just as you said, you’re nothing more than an
inexperienced individual with no qualifications. You’re unfamiliar with Phison, and even your
understanding of the Gordon family is not clear enough. You do have some self-awareness, but why do
you think I insist on promoting you, giving you this respect? It’s all to knock some sense into you! Yet,
you fail to appreciate it. Do you really think you’re something special?”
He added, “Do you really think I can’t see through your little schemes? Aren’t you just like the Cox
family, wanting to establish your own power? But let me tell you, as long as you’re in the Bartitsu Guild,
you can only be an affliated force of the guild! Don’t think about playing mind games with me. I’m not
taking action against the Gordon family because I don’t want to make things ugly and become a
laughingstock. But if you insist on not knowing your place, then don’t blame me for being rude!”
Neera remained utterly calm and composed.
All of this was within her expectations. Just a moment ago, she had been curious about how much
longer Matthew could endure.
Looks like he has reached his limit.
Well, this might be for the best. What’s meant to come will always find its way. It’s about time the
Gordon family and the Bartitsu Guild settle their scores.
With these thoughts, Neera didn’t feel nervous at all, but rather, she felt incredibly relaxed.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, yet the smile on her lips became ever more radiant.
Such a smile, however, increasingly irritated Matthew and Darren. They felt as if their attack was in
vain.
“What are you laughing at? Is this your attitude?” Matthew questioned.
Neera didn’t respond to him immediately. Instead, she leisurely picked up an orange for herself. As she
peeled it, she replied to him without even lifting her head, “Of course I am laughing at you.”
This sentence immediately made Matthew so angry that his beard quivered. His eyes wide open in fury,
he raised his voice and demanded, “What do you mean?”

An orange peel fell onto the coffee table. Neera popped a segment into her mouth and took a couple of
bites. Instantly, the sweet and sour taste filled her entire mouth.
Neera narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Paired with Matthew’s expression, she found it even more
tasty.
“It’s just as it sounds, Mr. Lozano. You’ve lived so long, yet how can you still not understand the
meaning of words? I think the Bartitsu Guild is too arrogant, thinking they can do whatever they want.
They’re just a clown, not knowing how many people are laughing at the Bartitsu Guild and discussing
their disgracefulness behind their backs.”
“You-”
These words were shockingly direct that Matthew, who was usually so composed, couldn’t help but be
taken aback at this moment.
He had lived for most of his life, yet he had never encountered anyone who dared to speak to him in
such a manner or dared to discuss the Bartitsu Guild so openly.
Suddenly, his face changed dramatically. With the support of his cane, he shakily stood up, pointing at
Neera. His voice trembled as he spoke.
“How dare you speak such vile words! This is outrageous! Do you really think the Gordon family can
act lawlessly?”
Neera was unbothered. “You consider this too much? Then what would you call the things the Bartitsu
Guild has done?”
Since the gloves were already off, she had nothing to hold back. She decided to just let it all out and
get it off her chest.
“Do
you think you’re doing a good job? Do you believe that no one knows what you’ve done or that no one
dares to object? Well, let me tell you the truth. Everyone knows about the terrible things you’ve done.
There’s no one who doesn’t. Everyone is disgusted by your actions, yet you alone are still feeling
smug, thinking you’re flawless. The Bartitsu Guild, known for their cunning and suspicious nature, have
no tolerance for others. Their methods are extremely underhanded, a fact known to all. Yet, this time,
you’ve taken things to an extreme. The Cox family, who have always been diligent and dedicated to the
Bartitsu Guild, are such a loyal clan, yet you’ve plotted against them in every possible way!”
She continued, “First, you sent them to accomplish a task that even the Bartitsu Guild could not
complete: to take over the Jagger family on Adieu Island. Then, after the Cox family’s head set off, you
secretly manipulated things against the Cox family, trying every possible means to suppress them.
Fortunately, the Cox family returned in glory, successfully completing the task. But instead of showing
gratitude, you became even more apprehensive. Not only did you not intervene in the infighting of the
Bartitsu Guild, punishing those families that were at fault, but you also let them stir up trouble against
the Cox family. You even joined their ranks to suppress the Cox family, fabricating unfounded charges
against them. Now, the Cox family has already left, yet you still want to completely eliminate them. How
many people are truly willing to follow such a force?”
At this point, she let out a series of cold, mocking laughs.
“In fact, it’s not just the Cox family, but the Gordon family have also long become a thorn in the side of
the Bartitsu Guild. Ever since I gained control of the five districts, you’ve been coveting it. However, due
to the presence of Lordsworth Estate, you didn’t dare to act openly. Later on, even though you made
me an elder of the Bartitsu Guild, it was to better control me. Now, by elevating my status and that of
the Gordon family, it’s even more so! On one hand, you want to use the power of the Gordon family to
deal with the Cox family, to eliminate dissidents. On the other hand, you’re looking for an opportunity to
snatch the position of district president from my hands!”
