To the Lopez family, the Great Family of Westford was their biggest supporter, and it wouldn’t be too much to even regard them as their family’s forefathers.
“Should we get on our knees?” asked Harry, who couldn’t contain his feelings.
Everyone wanted to present their best selves to Thierry.
“You don’t have to, but everyone else should do so,” instructed Cora.
Thump!
Thump!
One by one, the Lopezes got on their knees.
“Thierry, this is my husband, Harry Lopez, and the others are our younglings,” said Cora to introduce everyone.
Thierry wasn’t paying attention to them at all. He simply nodded numbly.
Judy and the others were even less interested in the Lopez family.
“Um…”
The nonchalant response from the Great Family of Westford got the entire Lopez family to panic.
Did we not do a good job of greeting them?
Even Cora was a little taken aback.
Despite that, she was quick to push Zoey and Forlevia ahead and said, “Thierry, this is my granddaughter, Zoey, and her daughter, Evie. Didn’t you say you wanted to meet them?”
Zoey and Forlevia greeted politely as well.
However, Thierry ignored them completely. He shared in a strange tone, “Cora, guess who I met earlier?”
“Huh? Who did you meet?” asked Cora curiously.
“I just met an incredible genius. He has got to be the strongest young man I have ever met!” answered Thierry in astonishment.
“Huh? A young man who got you to call him incredible? He must really be something else, then.”
Judy chimed in and said, “Just earlier, he squashed all six of grandpa’s subordinates with ease. We could’ve died if he had the intention of doing so.”
“Exactly! All I can say is this, he is worthy of being the next in line to succeed the Five Dragons of Erudia. He might even become someone who fights alongside the Five Dragons of Erudia.”
Thierry was still basking in the shock he experienced earlier.
“Really? You think he can actually do it?” blurted Cora, who knew all about the Five Dragons of Erudia.
For years, the Four Great Families had been searching and training potential talents to succeed in the Five Dragons Of Erudia.
I can’t believe a rare talent just dropped out of the sky like that!
“W-Where is he now?” asked Cora as she swallowed hard.
Thierry shook his head and replied, “He already left. The most astonishing part, however, is that he is just a commoner! That is truly unexpected.”
“What? A young commoner with the ability to succeed the Five Dragons of Erudia? Something like that has never happened before. Not even the Four Great Families have ever seen it,” said Cora. She was so shocked that her eyes bulged like they were about to pop out of her sockets.
“I never expected it. This is my first day here. Yet, I have already been given such a big surprise. It is simply too harrowing,” said Thierry as he sighed fearfully.
“I made him an offer and told him what he could have if he joined the Great Family of Westford, but he rejected it. It’s too bad. We would surely rise to the top if he were to join us!”
Cora nodded in agreement and said, “That is true.”
“I have a plan for this. Once I learn his real identity, I will arrange a marriage for him and Judy. That will turn him into the next-in-line for the Great Family of Westford! I shall spare no expenses to get him to join our ranks,” declared Thierry excitedly.
Cora suddenly thought of something, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Thierry, did you meet him here?”
“Yeah, why do you ask?”
“Well, if that’s the case, I’m guessing he is from North Hampton or is living here,” said Cora as she turned to the rest of the Lopezes and instructed, “Tap into your contacts. They might know something about the guy, and we can help locate him.”
Thierry slapped his forehead when he learned what Cora was doing. He replied, “You’re right. So, do you guys know any incredible genius living here? He is about this tall, and he can’t have been over thirty….”
Thierry and the others described Levi’s appearance to the Lopezes.
That stunned everyone, and they blurted, “Why does the dude sound a little like Levi?”
