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

Roco rubbed his hands together nervously. "It's just this funding issue..."It always came down to money. Even for someone from an aristocratic family, expenses still required money.Martin laughed. "No problem, no problem."He wasn't worried about being exposed. Roco wasn't an important figure in the Hernandez family. Whether he was around or not, hardly anyone cared.-The next morning, Roco set off for Salt City. Meanwhile, someone significant arrived at the Hernandez residence—Pedro, a legend of the Hernandez family!In the previous generation of the Hernandez family, talented individuals were plentiful. Pablo, Pedro, and Martin were all legends. The number of grandmasters was even more impressive. In fact, the Hernandez family's prosperity far exceeded that of the Pentra family in Westlake City."Pablo!" Pedro strode in, his steps powerful. "What's happened at home? Why was I urgently summoned?"Upon seeing Pedro, Pablo's furrowed brows finally relaxed. "Pedro, our famil

It was just after 4:00 p.m. when Roco arrived in Salt City. He had already received Martin's message.Upon reaching the Innova Group, he intended to share this intel with Eric, hoping to warn him in advance.Just as he stepped through the gates of the Innova Group, he was stopped by Jacob. "Hey! What are you doing here again? Looking for trouble?"Jacob was certainly arrogant, his confidence fueled by money. What, you want to hit him? Jacob would undoubtedly stick his neck out and taunt, "Come on, hit me! Hit me right here! If you don't, you're a coward!"A few more hits and he'd be a millionaire.Working a regular job? Impossible.Taking beatings was his only way to make a living!Despite Jacob's scorn, Roco maintained a smile. "Times change. I've reformed! No more mischief! Well, no more mischief against the Innova Group, at least."I've just returned from my family with some very important information for your boss. Could you let him know Roco is here with crucial intel?"R

"Oh?" Eric raised an eyebrow, genuinely intrigued.Seeing Eric's interest, Roco continued. "Our Hernandez family is divided into two factions. One is led by our family head, who considers himself part of the progressive faction. I was once aligned with them, but after my recent return, I switched sides to join the traditional faction."Uncle Martin is leading the traditional faction, but his influence is weak. Pedro supports Pablo."Eric found this amusing. Roco had actually switched sides after a brief visit home? Interesting."Go on," Eric urged.Nodding, Roco explained, "The trouble with the Innova Group and the Hernandez family in King City was orchestrated by Pablo. Uncle Martin had no part in it. The reason for the split in our family is simple: it all revolves around our 'Nana'."Our family rose to prominence because of her. Without her, there would be no Hernandez family. It's said she left behind a bracelet, the matriarch's bracelet. Whoever wears it is considered the He
