Chapter 1533
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
Chapter 1535
"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
Chapter 1538
Jacob arrived early. Lately, he had been very enthusiastic about his work, hoping every day that someone would come and give him a couple of slaps, maybe even knock out a few teeth. That way, he could easily claim hundreds of thousands in compensation.His days were quite comfortable. After parking his car in the lot, he lit a cigarette and headed to the entrance. He changed his clothes in the booth, and his workday began.The Innova employees hadn’t arrived yet, but Roco was already there. This guy just wanted to check out the situation. Pedro had already arrived in Salt City, and Roco wanted to see what Eric was up to and whether Pedro had succeeded.To Jacob, Roco was also a small fortune. A couple of hundred bucks was still money.Seeing Roco approach, Jacob politely handed him a cigarette. He carried two packs in his pocket—one cheap and one expensive. He handed Roco the cheaper one, thinking that’s all he deserved."Heh, good morning!" Roco greeted with a chuckle."Of cours

Jacob glanced at Pedro and sneered. "Who do you think you are? Just because you tell me to, I should shout? Who do you take me for?"Before he could finish, a swift whoosh passed by Jacob's ear. Pedro seized his collar and delivered a forceful slap, knocking out the teeth he had recently fixed."Will you shout now?" Pedro's glare pierced Jacob.Tears threatened to spill from Jacob's eyes. 'Damn, someone actually hit me! It hurt, yet strangely, it felt satisfying too.'Under Pedro's intense gaze, Jacob quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Eric. "Eric! A Hernandez is here again! He has knocked my teeth out! Boohoo!"He cried with a strange sort of happiness. If he could get compensation from Pedro later, wouldn't he strike it rich again?'Working isn't an option,' he thought. 'The only way to make a living is to get beaten up and earn some money.'Hearing that Jacob had been beaten again, Eric was speechless. 'Was this fellow born to be beaten? He gets hit when he's in a relati

When Pedro discovered that Eric was a legend, he didn't dare to be careless. He didn't even consider escaping. In an unfamiliar place, where could he run to?With a loud shout, he gathered his energy, preparing for a life-and-death battle with Eric.To Eric, the so-called legends were nothing special. He had already defeated many of them. How strong could Pedro possibly be?Seeing Pedro charge at him, Eric clenched his fist and met the attack head-on.Their fists collided in a test of sheer strength.Pedro let out a scream and was sent flying.Before he hit the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Eric's fist had only met his, the impact caused severe internal injuries.At that moment, Pedro had a sudden realization.No wonder the Hernandez family had been facing constant failures in Salt City. No wonder even Alan had gone missing there. Now he understood.If nothing unexpected happened, he would also disappear without a trace!The thought terrified him.Who wou
