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 Skr could.


    After a brief period of thought, he eximed, "When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."


    "I believe that the sudden emergence of such a terrifying and uncontroble figure in Nirth will also


    unsettle the Feron and Pearson families."


    "Grandfather, what do you mean..."


    Skr''s face was filled with joy.


    Was the elder Hernandez rmending they band up with the Feron and Pearson families to fight


    Skr?


    If the threergest families in Nirth province banded together, they would very surely be able to defeat


    Skr.


    Skr was still an individual battling alone, and could he truly be more strong than thebined might


    of the three great families?


    Despite seeing Landon treat Skr 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 bnce of power


    would undoubtedly annoy the Feron family, who gained the most from their presence in the first ce.


    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 Skr!


    "Yesterday, I received news that our new Chief of Nirth will take office in Ruritania in a week," the elder


    Hernandez said, just as Skr 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 rtionship with him?"


    Skr and Alejandro, among others, were pleased when they heard the elder Hernandez''s words.


    "Grandfather, are you going to visit the Feron and Pearson familiester?" eximed the elder


    Hernandez."


    "I''ll apany you!"


    "Since the new Chief is taking office in Ruritania, let''s leave the task of befriending him to my


    grandfather and the others."

    "After all, the Miller family is thergest in Ruritania, and there are some things that they can handle


    better than us."


    "Alright, let''s do as you say."


    Skr was nodded by the elder Hernandez.


    Alejandro and the others who surrounded Skr 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 Skr, 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 Skr finally came in the Pearson family parlor two hourster.


    "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?"
