The fist had yet to land, but the punch's force could already be felt."Ah!" Alan shouted, employing every bit of his lifelong training. He had realized the terrifying nature of Eric. There were no fancy moves—Eric charged like a rampaging buffalo.Against immense power, Alan had no choice but to block. He didn't even have the courage to counterattack—his only thought was to survive Eric's punch and then plan his retaliation.Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance.As Eric drew near, the force of his punch distorted Alan's face.With a scream, Alan was sent flying. He landed and rolled five or six meters before stopping. As soon as he halted, he spat out a mouthful of blood."Damn! This young man!" exclaimed Tyson from the gate.Hearing the fight, he had come to see if he could help. But the moment he reached the door, he saw Eric send Alan flying with a single punch. Brook, standing nearby, swallowed hard. He hadn't seen Eric fight in a long time, but Eric was as formidabl

After hanging up, Eric got into the car and noticed Sylvia staring at him."What’s wrong?" he asked, touching his face. "Is there blood on my face?"Sylvia burst into laughter. "No, I was just thinking you’re very powerful. What if you ever decide to be abusive? What would I do then?"Eric's face darkened."Would I ever be abusive?" He spread his hands wide. "Do I look like that kind of person? Against enemies, we strike hard. But with my wife, I’d be nothing but gentle..."After a brief chat, the couple headed to work.Standing at the gate, Tyson scratched his head and looked at Brook. "Did they just leave like that?"He found it hard to believe. Eric had seen them standing there, so at the very least, shouldn’t he have come over to say something? Even if it was just to show off a little. But they just left.Brook chuckled. "Master, they're very busy. Let’s not get involved. Come on, let’s go back to rest and maybe practice some martial arts."He couldn’t help but feel a bit

When Alvarez entered the restroom, Roco looked around at everyone. "Do you think Master Alvarez knows things are getting bad and might... run away?"Hunter and the others frowned. The esteemed Alvarez, the Hernandez family's future decision-maker, would run away? How could that be possible?Seeing no one responding, Roco tiptoed to the restroom door and knocked. "M-Master Alvarez?""I'm taking a leak! What do you want?" Alvarez's voice was filled with anger. He also sensed that things were turning sour. Should he return to the Hernandez family? But if he went back now, his prestige would take a hit.The logic was straightforward: for the Hernandez family, this task was a breeze. As the prospective leader, if Alvarez couldn't manage this, how could the family rely on him in the future? It boiled down to trust.Alvarez understood that the Hernandez family was split into two rival factions, always vying and clashing with each other. If he went back now, wouldn't the opposing faction

Eric glanced at Roco, pointing at him. "You did well. This morning, Jacob told me about your visit to the Innova Group."He scanned the Hernandezes. "What’s the matter? Are you disappointed to see me alive here?"No one spoke. Roco quickly interjected, "Not disappointed at all! I swear I had nothing to do with this. A few days ago, I wanted to leave, but they wouldn’t let me. They said I was the first to handle this matter and that I had to stay until it was done."I didn't do anything during this time. I just went to the Innova Group this morning because I was worried about your safety."He was desperate to clear his name.Eric could see right through it. The Hernandezes were all in this together. Roco was trying hard to distance himself, while the others remained silent, likely indicating his innocence.Later, when Roger and Hunter arrived, Roco didn’t get involved in their actions. Although he had shown up, he had fled faster than anyone else."Roco, you have a bright futur

"How is this even possible?!"Eric said calmly, "You find it unbelievable, don't you? The fall of the Pentra family in Westlake City made your Hernandez family anxious. That prompted you to remember a branch of the Hernandez family that had left Lazzla years ago, which had some influence in business and a decent amount of wealth. As such, you decided to integrate resources.""I imagine that after the Pentra family in Westlake City was wiped out, you started investigating who destroyed them. I can tell you now that it was me.""Bryce is imprisoned in King City. Larry and another legend were killed by me with a single punch. What, you families think that having a legend means you can act recklessly?"Alvarez's face turned ashen. He had heard of masters being killed with one punch, but never a legend. However, he had no reason to doubt Eric."What do you want?" he snarled.Listening to Eric, he felt like he had been outmaneuvered all along. No wonder they had failed. Their intel w

The visitor was Martin Hernandez, the second-in-command of the Hernandez family. However, he and Pablo were not on the same side.Pablo held significant power and advocated for abolishing the role of Nana, arguing that without the matriarch's bracelet, the family could not have a 'Nana'.But Martin was a very traditional man. How many generations had the Hernandez family had a Nana? It couldn’t just be abolished.Abolishing Nana's role would be akin to forgetting their roots. Even though the bracelet had been lost and could not be found, the position of the Nana must remain. The Hernandez family could be without a Nana, but the position could not be abolished.This stance left Pablo exasperated, especially since Martin had considerable support.Pablo had once suggested making Alvarez's mother the family's Nana, but the stubborn Martin only recognized Nana's bracelet. Whoever held the bracelet would be the Nana of the Hernandez family. This was an edict from the first-generation Na

Pablo, slightly irritated, said, "Get to the point! Where is Alvarez? And what about Alan, the legendary figure from the Vanderbilt family? Do you know his whereabouts?"Roco shook his head vigorously. "I have no idea about Mr. Alan. I don't have access to that level! As for Master Alvarez, he's been captured. He, Uncle Hunter, Uncle Roger, and others have all been arrested!""Wasn't the Vanderbilt family's legend supposed to kill Eric? He didn't succeed. I don't know why he didn't, but Eric turned around and led people to the hotel, capturing them all! Master Pablo, this incident is likely to be traced back to you. Eric's influence in Salt City is terrifying. We from Lazzla can't compete with him!"Roco did not mention that Eric was a legend himself. He was genuinely afraid that Eric would settle scores with the Hernandez family, and that he might get caught up in it. It was better to keep his mouth shut and avoid trouble.After hearing this, Pablo frowned deeply. "How is that pos

Roco had been dispatched to Salt City to confront Eric. Surprisingly, Eric, despite past conflicts, handed Roco 15,000 dollars for his journey back to the Hernandez family."Yes, Uncle Martin, initially, I doubted my senses or suspected deception. When I departed, I was destitute and attempted to exchange the money, doubting it was truly 15,000 dollars."Uncle Martin, his integrity is genuine! Despite my repeated offenses, he bestowed 15,000 dollars upon me. It defies logic!"Is he wary of me? No, that's improbable. I witnessed his prowess when he confronted the young master at the hotel. Even Uncle Hunter and Uncle Roger combined couldn't match his skill."Attempting to bribe me? Unlikely. I hold no significance to him, so why would he attempt bribery?"Following Roco's detailed account, Martin contemplated briefly before responding. "There are several plausible reasons for his decision to allow your return and provide 15,000 dollars."Firstly, he may want you to inform the Hern
