Chapter 40: Chapter 40: True courage is in perseverance

Olivia said:"Moreover, we can go to Forest Town under the guise of helping the Martinez family reclaim their assets for revenge, and by then even the Rodriguez family might not get involved in this matter."

"People like to fend for themselves, and as long as there is a sufficient reason, the Rodriguez family will not want to lose family power over internal hatred in Forest Town."

"This is our opportunity, and now we..."

"Are not without the power to fight!"

As her voice faded, the ancestral hall fell silent.

They had been suppressing their hatred for the Heath and Gonzalez families for too long!

Nathan's four children still vividly remembered the day their father appeared at the doorstep covered in blood, and the agonizing cries from his sickbed.

It was the first time they experienced the greatest fear of their lives, even contemplating what would become of their family if Nathan were to die.

This fear fueled their relentless pursuit of mastery in their skills.

The Heath and Gonzalez families, who looked down upon the Blackwoods rising from the rural areas, never respected them.

Elder Garcia from the Gonzalez family once arrogantly visited the Blackwoods, treating everyone there like insects, as if they could do whatever they wanted on this land.

The Gonzalez family coveted their iron ore, ruthlessly killed their friends, and then, as if nothing had happened, came to their land wanting to discuss business...

"To hell with the Heath and Gonzalez families, we've got to take them down!" Julian burst out angrily.

"Watch your language!" Nathan glared at his third son, "This is the Forebearer's shrine, how dare you speak so crudely here? The Forebearer won't tolerate such vulgar words!"

"Yes, dad." Julian, fearless of everything except his father's whip, calmed down.

Seeing his son settle down, Nathan bowed to Ethan, "Please forgive him, Forebearer, Julian is still a child."

"Forebearer, at your command, Nathan is ready to wipe out both families!"

Little did they know.

Ethan didn't find Julian's words crude at all.

Olivia was right; now was a golden opportunity, otherwise, once the Heath and Gonzalez families acquired the Martinez family's assets and grew stronger, seeking revenge would be even more challenging!

Fingers tapping on the keyboard produced a crisp and forceful sound.

The Purple Thunder Solar Python opened its crimson eyes and roared towards the sky!

Nathan slowly stood up, looking at his wife and children, seeing the fighting spirit in their eyes, his expression gradually becoming stern.

"Let's fight a good fight, don't disgrace the Forebearer!"

Soon.

Nathan led the Blackwoods out of the Forebearer's shrine to meet with the Martinez family.

Upon learning that the Blackwoods wanted to avenge the Martinez family, the old patriarch of the Martinez family did not show joy but a solemn expression.

"The Martinez family appreciates your intentions, but the Heath and Gonzalez families are deeply entrenched; we need to plan carefully," he said, somewhat intimidated.

Watching the scene, Ethan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Big brother, your family is nearly wiped out, and you're still being so rational, really?"

The elder Martinez continued:

"It's not that I am cowardly, but the strength of the Heath and Gonzalez families is greater than you know. The destruction of my Martinez family has shown me their true power."

"Garcia has been passed down through generations in the Great Forest, with a five-hundred-year foundation. Just the Emerging Ability elders alone number five."

"This time, they even have an elder who has emerged from seclusion, at the Transcendent Seed stage!"

Transcendent Seed!

The Blackwoods were shocked to find that they were just one step away from reaching the Developing Skill stage, having already attained the Transcendent Seed stage.

Even so, its formidable power was not something ordinary Emerging Ability Psychics could compare with.

"Gonzalez is no ordinary family; though they lack such top-tier experts, both their first and second elders are at the peak of Emerging Ability, and despite losing one, six remain, with the clan possessing a protective psychic device!"

"A psychic device... With one in hand, even those at the peak of Emerging Ability dare to challenge Transcendent Seed!"

Martinez's family elder grimaced, "As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood."

"To put it bluntly, from what I've seen, your Blackwood has just started rising. I heard there's a beast capable of killing mid-level Emerging Ability, and because neither of our families want to waste our forces on this, allowing our families to be weaker than others, that's why Gratitude Village has been able to develop peacefully."

"Psychic cultivating psychic powers, not long in a century, you Blackwoods should recuperate with us, the Martinez family. United by a common enemy, that's the way. Once their experts are gone, we can return to Forest Town. Why bother fighting day and night?"

After all, he felt that Blackwood's foundation was shallow!

But Nathan just smiled and shook his head at the elder of the Martinez family.

"Elder, you make sense, but we Blackwoods will not wait any longer!"

The Blackwoods followed their father and left.

Lucas burst into laughter, "Hahaha, right, we Blackwoods aren't fighting for day and night, but for a life-and-death struggle with them!"

"Damn it!"

"Third brother, your language is getting dirtier, keep this up and Mary won't bother with you."

"What do you know, you a mere potion maker? Mary likes a man with my flavor. I'm going to find her now, tell her I might die soon, maybe... she could bear me a child."

"Third bro, you've gotta clean up your act, man. Don't be that guy with no class. Keep this up, and Mary won't give you the time of day, let alone think about marrying you."

The people of the Martinez family watched as Nathan and his family left, the elder only able to sigh deeply. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

How could he not see the fervor of the Blackwoods?

He even admired the courage of the Blackwoods.

But in this world, courage alone is never enough; true courage is in perseverance!
