Chapter 1130 Inhuman A small fry⦠lan grinned. To think thatâs how Mr. Beauvort describes Avery. Thatâs quite harsh.
Seeing Jeanâs serious face, Tiago couldnât help but be astounded. âSo, this is how you act when talking about feelings, My Lord. Iâve seen something new today.â
As lan watched, he silently made sarcastic remarks in his mind. You think thatâs bad? Youâll find out soon enough what heâs like every day and what I have to endure.
With a cold snort, Jean paid no mind, only urging Tiago to hurry up.
Tiago let out a long sigh, his face full of resignation. He had no choice but to accept his fate and proceed as instructed.
Neera had been staying at Averyâs place for three days.
Over the past three days, she had also seen those rumors circulating online.
She hadnât expected that matter to blow up so much.
Although, she didnât think much of those peopleâs pessimistic views.
After all, it was only natural that no one would be convinced that she was dependable, given that she didnât really have any influence or power.
During that time, she had nothing to do, so she took the opportunity to familiarize herself with the situation there and learned a lot.
It turned out that Phison revered fighting arts. It was a place where strength was held in high esteem, and they had their own set of management regulations.
There, one was allowed to carry any weapon that wasnât a firearm.
If one violated that rule, they would be punished by Phison laws.
At the same time, she also roughly understood the formation of the two major forces, Phison and Bartitsu Guild.
Under Bartitsu Guild, there were Eight Elders.
In Phison, under the Lord of Phisonâs rule, there were the Seven Executioners, also known as the branch leaders.
The power between both sides was balanced.
Besides that, she also learned about the messy history and relationships of the fighting arts families there, which made her head spin.
In short, she felt that in just a few days, her worldview had been repeatedly reshaped and renewed.
Before, she had never imagined that such a place could actually exist in that world.
Then suddenly, she found herself becoming the center of discussion in that place, highly debated by the people there.
She couldnât help but feel a bit hesitant. If she had known it would be that troublesome, she might not have agreed to her uncleâs request in the first place.
No matter how she thought about it, she just felt like she had been duped!
That afternoon, she was sulking on the swing outside the yard when Violet emerged from behind her.
âNeera, would you like some juice? This passion fruit juice is both sweet and sour. Itâs really tasty.â
Neera gratefully accepted the drink and took a sip. The cool fruit juice slid down her throat, causing goosebumps all over her body.
Violet sat down on the swing beside Neera, sipping her juice with delight, and curiously asked, âNeera, why the long face? Is something bothering you?â
âUmâ¦â Neera responded vaguely, hesitated for a moment, then decided to share her troubles with Violet.
Upon hearing that, Violet laughed, her eyes curving beautifully, looking utterly adorable. âSo thatâs what this is all about. Thereâs nothing to be afraid of. Once we return to the Gordon residence tomorrow/if anyone dares to bully you, Iâll beat them to death!â
She spoke harsh words with a sweet voice. That contrast was oddly endearing.
Neera couldnât help but recall the scene when she was treating Avery and Violet shot at Chandler.
That scene still shook Neera to her core.
At that moment, she reached out and patted Violet on the head. âYou know, an adorable woman like you really shouldnât be handling a gun. Itâs so dangerous. I wonder what Mr. Cox has been teaching you all these years, letting you get involved in such perilous mattersâ¦â
Violet spoke without a care. âHe just let me be, you know. When he was busy, heâd have me hang out with Irwin and the others, even wanting me to learn skills from them. He said that without any real abilities, it would be hard for me to survive in this world. Neera, you have no idea what he was like.
When I was little, I thought he was like the Grim Reaper, completely inhuman.â
Neera couldnât help but chuckle as she saw Violet roll her eyes.
The two chatted for a while, then Violet hopped off the swing. âNeera, letâs go. Satan has sent over a dress for He said itâs for you to wear when we return to the Gordon residence tomorrow. You should try it on quickly.â
âAll right.â Neera also got off the swing and walked in with her.
No sooner had they returned to the hall than they bumped into Avery throwing a tantrum. you.
âAre you purposely stirring up trouble? You canât even handle your own affairs, yet you have the time to meddle in the Gordon familyâs business?â shouted Avery.
