Within the Hernandez family, allegiances were split. Some supported Pablo, while others backed Martin.The indecisive ones wavered mainly because they hadn't seen the ancestral bracelet. Now that it had appeared, their hesitation vanished, and they immediately sided with Martin.Pablo's face darkened. Despite his declaration to abolish the concept of the ancestral bracelet, its sudden appearance had swayed many to support Martin.The Vanderbilt family was utterly bewildered. What was happening? Hadn't they all agreed to target the Innova Group together? Now, even Martin was addressing the Innova Group's CEO as 'Nana'? What was going on? Had they been duped by Pablo again?Steven was incensed, suspecting that Pablo had foreseen their arrival and had staged everything to deceive them. It was likely he had led the Vanderbilt family right into the Hernandez family's trap."Enough!" Steven roared, "Do you all take my Vanderbilt family for fools? Pablo! You dare betray our legend and no
Even in the midst of battle, Pablo's mind remained fixated on how to snatch the bracelet from Sylvia's grasp.Was the opportunity finally presenting itself?Stepping back a few paces, he found himself before Sylvia. With a sneer in his heart, he reached out to grab her wrist."Pablo! How could you stoop so low?" Martin's anger flared, but he was entangled by Edward and too far away to intervene. Yet, in the next moment, Martin sighed in relief. He had forgotten that Eric was also a legend. Pablo was unlikely to gain any advantage.As expected, just as Pablo was about to seize Sylvia's wrist, his own hand was suddenly caught.Shocked, Pablo looked up to see Eric.With a faint smile, Eric remarked, "Pablo, in broad daylight, in front of everyone, attempting to snatch something from my wife's hand? Has your family resorted to banditry? Are you thugs?"Pablo's eyes narrowed. With just this one grab, he knew Eric was also a legend. He had misjudged.Many thoughts raced through his m
Steven felt uneasy. His side only had two legends, while the Hernandez boasted three. Although Pablo and Eric were at odds, Steven knew they shared the same surname, Hernandez. On the other hand, he was an outsider, bearing the surname Vanderbilt.The situation looked grim for him.After repelling Pablo, Eric returned to his seat. The older members of the Hernandez nodded frequently, finding Eric quite impressive, though they couldn't pinpoint exactly why."Steven!" Pablo, though a bit disheveled, was smug.The Vanderbilt family had come looking for trouble, but now that Eric had intervened, all issues were resolved effortlessly. "Now you understand why Alan disappeared, right? We all underestimated Salt City, thinking it was just a minor provincial capital. Who would have thought such a place hid a legend?" he said. "Let me remind you: Pedro is also missing! And my son has been captured by them!"He continued. "Given our family's strength, how could such issues arise repeatedly
However..."Hey!? Martin, why aren't you taking action?" Martin just stood there. For him, making a move was impossible. Eric was Sylvia's husband, and Sylvia was the Hernandez family's Nana. Although there was no 'Pops' in the Hernandez family, Eric's status was still incredibly high.Attacking an elder? Martin couldn't do it."I'll deal with you later!" Seeing that Martin wasn't acting, Pablo gritted his teeth. "What nonsense Nana? Today, I'm going to shatter that delusion!" With that, he called Steven and charged towards Eric.Three against one? Pablo felt confident about their chances.As Edward advanced, Eric was already on the move. His momentum was overwhelming, and the aura he exuded was far stronger than Edward's.Even from a distance, many in the Hernandez family felt a powerful wind sweep through the area as Eric attacked. That was his energy!Eric's strikes now created a formidable aura, astonishingly strong.His power was beyond ordinary comprehension. His spee
As Eric charged forward, the three men immediately broke formation. Though Eric was alone while they were three, it was commonly said that "two fists are no match for four hands," and they had six hands. But how would they fight?They underestimated Eric's speed. Edward was a tad slower, and Eric's fist struck his chest.With a loud "bang!" accompanied by a scream, Edward was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood. One punch was all it took to incapacitate him."Edward!" Steven panicked at the sight of his brother coughing up blood.Pablo was equally shocked. Eric wasn't bluffing—his strength was undeniable. A single punch from him made a legend cough up blood. He was incredibly powerful!"Kill him!" Pablo shouted.Steven nodded, and the two of them attacked Eric from both sides, leaving no blind spots.Unwilling to clash head-on, Eric threw punches to either side, creating distance.Seeing this, Pablo laughed heartily. "Steven! He's nothing! He's just bluffing. If he we
Eric walked over to the chair and sat down, looking at Steven, "How strong are you? Tell me, how strong?"You Vanderbilts have three legends: you, Edward, and Alan. All of you have fallen at my hands. So, tell me, how strong is your family?"Steven remained silent. The reason powerful families were strong was that they had many legends, wasn't it? Below the legends, there were numerous masters. In terms of martial prowess, these families were maxed out. But now, in front of Eric, this so-called martial prowess was utterly useless!Two aristocratic families with six legends were subdued by Eric.Glancing at the few people around him, Eric said calmly, "I once went to Haevon and interacted with people from the Luminous. I thought there were no Luminous people in the country until I encountered the Pentra family in Westlake City."Larry, the legend of the Pentra family, was taken down by me, and the Pentra family was also wiped out because Larry was a member of the Luminous."Are
Martin initially thought that Eric would arrive alone and might need his help to escape from the Hernandez family. However, he didn't expect that with the Vanderbilt family present, there wouldn't be much of a commotion.Pablo and the two Vanderbilt legends were taken away, leaving many Hernandezes trembling in fear. These individuals were considered invincible, and their sudden capture was utterly shocking.As Pablo was taken away, several elderly figures with gray hair stepped forward. These elders held significant authority within the Hernandez family.They turned to Sylvia and said, "The Hernandez family cannot go a day without a family head. As our esteemed Nana, we ask you to appoint the next family head."These old men were quite stubborn. Some had supported Pablo, but now that he was gone and the Nana had reappeared, they naturally deferred to her.Sylvia was frightened by this request. She knew there were both good and bad people in the Hernandez family, as there were two
Martin knew Sylvia was likely going to distribute money.Sylvia indeed had that intention. Seeing the Hernandezes' sincerity and having brought nothing else, she decided that giving money was the best option.For many, receiving money was better than gifts because it allowed them to buy what they liked.Martin quickly reported the number of people to Sylvia.The Hernandez family had been around for a long time, and apart from the branch that had moved to King City, there were still five branches with over 300 people. For an established family, this population size was considerable, and it wasn't easy to sustain so many people.The reason was simple: if a branch had no male heirs, that branch would essentially disappear. When daughters married out, they became part of another family, and even their tombstones would bear the surname of their husband's family.For instance, when Sylvia passed away, her tombstone would start with "Sylvia Johnson" rather than "Sylvia Willaims".After
