Chapter 1429 No Fleeing

• That was why her words became blunt, her tone cold, laced with a hint of mockery.
• She spoke in a similar tone Baxter used when he spoke to her earlier. “Bartitsu Guild targeted the five districts because they anticipated that the Gordon family would be well-prepared to deal with any fallout from a confrontation. Therefore, they chose to strike where the Gordon family least expected, and those targets were the five districts. The places they destroyed were not particularly important, but the damage inflicted was enough to leave the Gordon family in chaos, unable to attend to other matters, and significantly depleted. On the other hand, it can generate enough public opinion and influence. Right now, the public sentiment toward the Gordon family is very hostile. Quite a few people have been swayed, asking me to willingly hand over the position of district president to Bartitsu Guild. Who do you think is behind this? Naturally, it's Bartitsu Guild. This is precisely the effect they want. And I believe, soon, Bartitsu Guild will reveal its true intentions, actively demanding that I hand over the position of district president. By doing this, on the one hand, it weakens the Gordon family, and on the other hand, it also achieves its goal. Do you understand?”
• Baxter really didn't like it when she spoke to him that way. His face looked quite displeased. After listening, he let out a cold huff. “Even if Bartitsu Guild did this, it would be because of you that this outcome occurred. If you hadn't insisted on leaving Bartitsu Guild to join Lordsworth Estate, thus angering Bartitsu Guild, they wouldn't have taken action.”
