After checking Mackenzie’s expression, Emmanuel hesitated too, “I’ll decide how to proceed based on


    the actual situation at the time!”


    The Silverbane family likely guessed that he had three identities advancing. Until the finals matchups


    were announced, he couldn’t decide which identity topete with.


    Moreover, in case strong opponents emerged, Emmanuel didn’t have absolute certainty that he would


    come out victorious in the end.


    “Very well then,” Stanley understood. As the finals approached, he just wanted to inform Emmanuel of


    his intentions. Ultimately, the decision would rest with Emmanuel.


    That day’s funeral turned out to be much livelier than expected. After the Silverbanes left, more people


    approached.

    Emmanuel and the others weren’t surprised to see Frederick and Shane leading the group. But behind


    them were three more people.


    “Old Godfather! Santiago!” Emmanuel hurriedly walked over to greet these esteemed elders. Even


    Alessandra and Roselynn hurried over to greet them.


    These were respected elders from Hero’s Vige. Especially Old Godfather, who hadn’t left the vige


    in a decade, unexpectedly came to Onza. But when Emmanuel saw thest person, he stopped in his


    tracks.


    Upon seeing the woman, Tommy shouted agitatedly, “What are you doing here? You’re not wee


    here! Go away!”


    It was Susie, Yosef’s sister. The resemnce between the siblings led the child to associate Susie with


    the murderer of his father, stirring up emotions!


    “Tommy, don’t be like this! Each person is responsible for their actions, and this matter has nothing to


    do with his sister.” Emmanuel quickly intervened.


    “Thank you,” Susie thanked Emmanuel, though without much emotion.


    “Oh, how could something like this happen?” Old Godfather, supported by Susie, slowly approached


    Ryder’s memorial tablet, feeling sorrowful.


    “It’s been a long time since there’s been infighting in Hero’s Vige. It is truly heartbreaking.” Santiago


    also looked mournful as he offered incense to Ryder.


    “Ugh, Yosef is simply despicable!” Shane, upon hearing his master speak, immediately eximed. “I


    always knew the son of a murderer wouldn’t be a good person. I never expected him to behave


    decently in Hero’s Vige only to reveal his true nature once he left! He sold himself to the devil Tanner


    family for money and women and even killed people from his vige!”


    “Shane, shut up!” Emmanuel quickly stopped him.


    There were two reasons: firstly, not everything Shane said was true; Yosef wasn’t as despicable as he


    made him out to be. Secondly, he saw that Old Godfather was distraught and didn’t want to upset this


    hundred-year-old man.


    “You must be Ryder’s wife.” Old Godfather, setting aside his grief, looked at Tia.


    “Greetings, Old Godfather!” Tia bowed to him.


    She knew the customs of Hero’s Vige; during the first year of marriage, she hac return to the vige


    to bow to Old Godfather. She just didn’t expect her husband t leave before they could do it.


    “May the heavens bless you and your son with good fortune in the future,” Old Godfather kindly


    caressed her and Tommy’s heads.


    As she watched, Mackenzie suddenly thought the elder seemed like a living deity.


    However, she still wouldn’t kneel and bow to a living person; she nodded in acknowledgment ording


    to her style.


    “Emmanuel, after everything here is settled, arrange to take your cousin’s ashes back to the vige for


    burial,” Old Godfather instructed Emmanuel after finishing everything.


    “Yes, Old Godfather,” Emmanuel respected this old man very much; he was his grandfather’s teacher,


    after all.


    At this point, Santiago approached and said, “Actually, we came to Onza today to remind you of


    something.”


    Emmanuel quickly asked, “Do we need to move elsewhere?”


    Both Old Godfather and Santiago were important figures in the vige. The news they brought


    specifically for him must not be trivial. Old Godfather nodded, allowing


    Emmanuel and Santiago toe over to talk He didn’t even let Susie and the join, let alone Shane.


    “Emmanuel, you’ve probably heard about Yosef’s background, right?” Old Godfather sitting down,


    asked Emmanuel.
