Chapter 878 The Lifesaving Straw
Even for those members of the Hernandez family who had military roles, mobilizing such a huge number of troops
was a difficult task.
The elder Hernandez could think of something if Skylar could.
After a brief period of thought, he exclaimed, "When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
"I believe that the sudden emergence of such a terrifying and uncontrollable figure in Nirth will also unsettle the
Feron and Pearson families."
"Grandfather, what do you mean..."
Skylar's face was filled with joy.
Was the elder Hernandez recommending they band up with the Feron and Pearson families to fight Skylar?
If the three largest families in Nirth province banded together, they would very surely be able to defeat Skylar.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar was still an individual battling alone, and could he truly be more strong than the combined might of the three
great families?
Despite seeing Landon treat Skylar with tremendous respect, he saw Landon as a less favored member of the
Pearson family, always careful in his dealings.
Landon's attitude did not always represent the Pearson family as a whole.
The Pearson family would not stand by and do nothing as long as the elder Hernandez contacted the Pearson family
patriarch.
And even more so for the Ferons.
They are, after all, currently rated top.
The abrupt appearance of a new force that threatened to undermine the prevailing balance of power would
undoubtedly annoy the Feron family, who gained the most from their presence in the first place.
A single fork was readily broken, but a bundle of forks was considerably more difficult to break.
The three big families' partnership was like a bundle of forks securely tied together; it was a sure-win situation
against Skylar!
"Yesterday, I received news that our new Chief of Nirth will take office in Ruritania in a week," the elder Hernandez
said, just as Skylar was filled with hope.
"The Chief of Nirth has the authority to mobilize the provincial garrison in addition to making provincial
administrative appointments."
"Wouldn't it be easy to drive this new chief out of Nirth province, let alone kill him, if we can establish a good
relationship with him?"
Skylar and Alejandro, among others, were pleased when they heard the elder Hernandez's words.
"Grandfather, are you going to visit the Feron and Pearson families later?" exclaimed the elder Hernandez."
"I'll accompany you!"
"Since the new Chief is taking office in Ruritania, let's leave the task of befriending him to my grandfather and the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmothers."
"After all, the Miller family is the largest in Ruritania, and there are some things that they can handle better than
us."
"Alright, let's do as you say."
Skylar was nodded by the elder Hernandez.
Alejandro and the others who surrounded Skylar felt as though they had seized a lifesaver straw and were suddenly
saved.
They each got into their automobiles and drove away after discussing a few more points.
Ruritania Lake has finally resumed normal tourism operations.
Alejandro and the others returned home to enquire about the inauguration of the new chief.
Meanwhile, the elder Hernandez, joined by Skylar, made his way straight to the Pearsons.
Curry, Cooper of the Pearson family, quickly summoned all Pearson descendants to the parlor upon learning that
the elder Hernandez was personally visiting.
The elder Hernandez and Skylar finally came in the Pearson family parlor two hours later.
"Cooper, if there's anything you need, a phone call would have sufficed," Curry said as he stood up and greeted
them. Why go to the trouble of paying a personal visit?"
