Eric stood up and said, "Then let's go and help. After all, I have shares in Hernandez Corp.."Sylvia smiled at Eric's excuse.-At the Hernandez residence.Julius received unexpected news that the Calles and Lynars were resorting to drastic methods. Despite his disbelief, there was little he could do. The audacity of the two families indicated they had secured their connections.He gathered the Hernandez martial artists, counting fewer than 10 grandmasters.The Montgomerys alone boasted at least 20 grandmasters, and the Calles and Lynars would likely bring at least 10 grandmasters with them.Putting on his clothes, Julius sighed and instructed Nera, "You are from the Calles family. Andrew will not trouble you. Leave before they arrive."The lack of action from the Montgomerys meant they were left to defend themselves.Beyond financial issues, this was the crisis Julius had feared. The Hernandezes possessed premium assets, so the Calles and Lynars were willing to take the risk

Andrew and Curtis seethed with anger. Just as they were on the brink of success, Eric intervened."Mind your own business! Hernandez Corp. belongs to the Hernandezes, and Julius is the CEO. Whether to sell or not is his decision!" Andrew retorted icily.Eric smirked. "While I've never openly acknowledged my ties to the Hernandezes, I do own shares in Hernandez Corp." He gestured toward Julius, adding, "Legally speaking, if he were to pass away, I should inherit Hernandez Corp. as his heir."Andrew's face darkened. Eric's unexpected appearance tonight caught him off guard.Eric ignored Andrew, took a seat, and casually addressed the Calles and Lynar representatives, "The Calles family has recently risen to prominence, and the Lynar family is a second-rate player. So, how did you manage to assemble so many grandmasters?"The Calles and Lynars had brought along a substantial group of grandmasters. According to Eric, it seemed impossible for these two families to possess such a formid

Julius watched in astonishment as the Calles and Lynars fled.Eric ignored Julius, turned to Sylvia, and said, "Sylvia, let's go back and rest."Sylvia nodded and approached Eric. As they prepared to leave, Julius called out to them, "Wait!" Eric turned around and said, "Next time someone pressures you to sell Hernandez Corp., tell them to seek my opinion first. Don't forget, I also have shares in the company."With that, Eric, Sylvia, Matthew, and Vince left the Hernandez residence.Julius felt uneasy as they departed. He had envisioned offering protection to Eric after assuming control of the Hernandezes, intending to make amends for neglecting him for nearly 30 years. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Eric who had protected the Hernandezes.Nera approached Julius. "Regardless of the outcome, the Hernandezes are safe now, aren't they?"She sensed a coldness in Eric's demeanor. It seemed Eric had shown up tonight primarily because he had a stake in Hernandez Corp. The father an

"I didn't intend to pursue this matter, but now it seems that is not an option anymore."Eric turned, looked at Matthew, and instructed, "Matthew, call Captain Smithson. Have him send someone over to take over this matter. Also, check if the Calles and Lynars have engaged in any illegal activities. If so, handle it according to the law.""Yes, sir." Matthew took out his phone. He had some interactions with Miller and had his number.For Eric, there was a lingering doubt that bothered him. How did the Calles and Lynars gather so many grandmasters tonight?Even if the two families joined forces, they wouldn't have such strength.Eric's actions dumbfounded Andrew and Curtis. Who exactly did Eric ask Matthew to call? They sounded quite formidable.Eric ignored the two and glanced at the police officer."If I were you, I would wait here for a while before deciding whether to get involved in this matter. Of course, you can also arrest the heads of the Calles and Lynars first. Maybe yo

Their last operation had targeted the Larsons.-Back at the Montgomerys.Eric briefed Grace on the situation. Given Grace's solid relationship with the Watsons, she emerged as the ideal candidate for this task. Even Grace was roped in to lure out the Feynmans."Isn't it too dangerous?" Grace voiced considerable concern after listening to Eric's plan. After all, the last encounter with the Larsons had left Eric and his group narrowly escaping defeat. Confronting another top-tier family heightened Grace's worries."Mom, it'll be fine," Eric reassured with a smile. "It's different this time. There's certainly danger, but I'll take care of myself."Grace sighed and went off to reach out to the Watsons and McClains."Sylvia, don't go tonight. It might be dangerous," Eric urged.Eric might confront two legends tonight, so he couldn't afford to be careless."Okay, you must be careful."Sylvia remained concerned about Eric's safety, understanding the inevitability of danger in his p
