Chapter 1138 Whoever Bullies Her Is An Enemy Avery looked at Tiago coldly, not bothering to hide the hostility in his eyes.
âItâs been quite a while, hasnât it? What brings you to District Fourteen today? Donât tell me youâve come to enjoy the spectacle of the Gordon familyâs mess?â
Tiago found his caution amusing, chuckled, and said nonchalantly, âWhatâs so interesting about the Gordon familyâs mess? Itâs just a bunch of fools causing internal strife.â
A bunch of foolsâ¦
Baxter gritted his teeth, while the expressions of the brothers, Troy and Ollie, turned increasingly gloomy one after the other.
âOh? So⦠could it be that youâre here for the district presidentâs election? Ha, does such a trivial matter require someone of your stature to personally deal with the Gordon family?â
The only reason Avery could think of was this.
After hearing the comment, Baxter shuddered all over, staring at Tiago with an anxious look in his eyes.
Even the eyes of usually haughty Robin darkened accordingly.
âThe election assembly hasnât begun yet. Although the Gordon family has a candidate, nothing is set in stone. Mr. McClure, have you come today to make a move against the Gordon family?â
Tiago chuckled lightly. âIndeed, Iâm here because of the election.â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Gordon family became tense. As if they were facing a formidable enemy, they no longer harbored the desire for internal strife. All of them focused on Tiagoâs every move, afraid that he would suddenly cause trouble.
âWhy are you all so nervous? I havenât finished speaking yet.â
Tiago raised an eyebrow, his captivating eyes fully reflecting an air of casual nonchalance.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Neera and began to scrutinize her.
So, this is the person whom my lord holds dear in his heart. She has a beauty that could launch a thousand ships. Coupled with her abilities, she is truly a match for him.
In just a few short seconds, he had already considered Neera as one of his own.
As for Neera, she looked puzzled and felt uneasy under his gaze.
Averyâs face remained calm. He stepped forward, positioning himself between her and Tiago, effectively blocking Tiagoâs gaze.
Seeing this, Tiagoâs laughter became even more enigmatic.
âMr. Cox, thereâs no need for you to be so guarded against me. What could I possibly do in front of so many people? Besidesâ¦â
He paused for a moment, suddenly tilting his head. His gaze passed over Averyâs shoulder as he gave Neera a playful wink.
11:03 Sat, 4 Nov âI came this time specifically to see you, Ms. Garcia.â
After hearing that, Neera was taken aback. She pointed to herself and asked, âMe?â
Everyone also turned to look at her, their faces filled with confusion.
%1 Tiago nodded. âYes, many of you may not know this, but Ms. Garcia and the Lord of Phison share a deep bond. I heard that she is visiting the Gordon family today to acknowledge her ancestors and return to her roots, so my lord has specifically sent me to extend his congratulations.â
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone couldnât help but gasp in surprise. Even Neera was utterly astounded.
Shane was somewhat puzzled and asked Neera, âWhen did you get to know the Lord of Phison? How come you never mentioned it before?â
Neera was equally clueless, muttering under her breath, âHow would I know? I donât even know any Lord of Phison at all. Maybe this person has mistaken me for someone elseâ¦â
Tiagoâs hearing was excellent. He chuckled and said, âRest assured that I havenât mistaken you for someone else. my lord said that you once saved his life, and he will never forget that youâre his savior for the rest of his life.â
When the words were spoken, the entire Gordon family was taken aback.
Our little Neera is actually the savior of the Lord of Phison? Are you kidding me?
Neera suddenly understood what was going on, but she had saved so many people that she really couldnât remember when she had saved this so-called Lord of Phison.
At that moment, she nodded. âSo thatâs how it is. I would like to thank you and Your Lord for today.â
Tiago smiled faintly. âMs. Garcia, itâs too early to express your gratitude. I came today with another purpose, to convey the intentions of my lord. He hopes that you can become the head of the Gordon family.â
Having said that, he redirected his gaze toward the crowd, focusing particularly on Robin and Baxter.
âIf anyone disagrees, feel free to step forward and spar with me. Letâs have a fair contest. If you can defeat me, I promise to leave immediately and never interfere in this matter again!â
Upon hearing those words, Baxterâs face turned red with rage burning within him.
He knew how powerful Tiago was and that no one was capable of defeating him.
âHmph, Mr. McClure, given how skilled you are, isnât it clear that youâre intentionally making things difficult for the Gordon family? Despite your authority, this is still an internal family affair. Broadly speaking, itâs also a matter of District Fourteen and a matter of the Bartitsu families. It has nothing to do with Lordsworth Estate. You are an outsider and truly have no right to interfere!â
At that moment, all he could do was use that line of reasoning, hoping that Tiago would understand the situation and leave immediately.
Instead of leaving, Tiago leisurely strolled over to the couch and sat down leisurely. His long legs were crossed, exuding an aura of absolute authority.
âApologies, but my lord has issued a strict order. Anyone who dares to bully Ms. Garcia today will be considered an enemy of Lordsworth Estate!â
