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
After work in the afternoon, Sylvia settled into the passenger seat. "Have the Hernandez family come to cause trouble again?"Even though she was in the office, she was aware of everything happening. She had heard that Roco had come to the Innova Group looking for Eric."Yes," Eric replied. "It was that kid, Roco. He claimed he defected and wouldn't cause trouble for our Innova Group anymore. Over in Lazzla, the Hernandez family has split into two factions: the progressives led by Pablo and the traditionalists led by Martin."Roco used to be with Pablo. After returning, he betrayed them and joined Martin. The latter sent him to Salt City."He did provide some intel, saying that the Hernandez family's legend, Pedro, is on his way to Salt City. While dealing with me, he also plans to rescue Alvarez and the others and investigate Alan's disappearance."By the way, preliminary analysis suggests that the bracelet Mom gave you is likely a symbol of the Hernandez family's matriarch. Acco
"It's the same story—higher rank, greater power. In Salt City, I can call the shots, but those folks in King City don't even acknowledge me. When I tried to inquire, I was yelled at. How frustrating is that?"These words genuinely startled Pedro. However, Alvarez and his group had indeed already been transferred to King City.Pedro stood up and left without further questions.As he departed, Robert exhaled a heavy breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Quickly, he pulled out his phone to call Eric. "Mr. Johnson, a man named Pedro Hernandez has arrived in Salt City. It looks like he's here to rescue Alvarez and the others!"-At the Williams family residence.Eric was shocked to hear that Robert had already encountered Pedro. "Robert, are you alright?"Pedro was a legend. To put it bluntly, people like him are often beyond the constraints of ordinary rules. Many legends don't care about so-called regulations because they are the law!"I'm fine," Robert replied. "This man is
