Triumph Above All novel

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.

Skylar 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 others."
