Chapter 1530
Emery shook her head as soon as she saw her brother and Preston''s look of doubt.
"I mean, you''re a nerd, so you won''t know anything anyway,” Er said in a scathing remark of his
introverted brother.
Hearing this, Emery quickly pinched his ear.
At that moment, a voice was heard behind them. "You''re all from the Riddle family, and yet none of you
cared to learn about the origins of our genealogy?"
All of them turned around to see Everett walking towards them with a ss of wine in his hand.
Everett had always been around to help Damien. Though he did not hold a high position in the
company as of yet, he was still rather familiar with the family''s business.
‘Everett? You know about it?” Er asked without hesitation, as he was still pretty young.
Preston and Everett shared a neutral rtionship, so he just shot Everett a nce while Emery
continued sipping on her drink, as she did not seem to be interested in this subject at all.
Everett looked at Er and shed him a polite smile before saying, "I can remember it vaguely, but I''ve
always considered it to be a myth. So, a thousand years ago, the denizens of Hustuaburg banded
together to form a Holy
Union tobat the deadly manyer tribe. The Reby family was the leader of the Holy Union, and 5
of their sons were sacrificed in the war against the deadly tribe. After the crusade, the people wanted to
thank the Reby family for their contributions, so they crafted 5 elemental badges: Earth, Air, Water,
Fire, and Metal, to honor the generations of the 5 heroes.
Whenever they find themselves in need, everyone in the Holy Union is obligated to help them out.”
The group were left in a daze after having heard such a fantasy-like story.

Preston looked at Edwin with his eyebrows raised. "Did you just imply... that Nicole is the sessor of
the fire crest?"
"Yeah! I heard that those crests were once stolen by a bunch of scums so that they could use them to
order the members of the union around a few centuries ago. After they had wreaked enough havoc, the
Reby family probably retrieved and destroyed them. After that, they weren''t seen anymore... Now, one
of them has reappeared and found itself an owner”
“And that''s Nicole?” Er asked, finally having understood everything.
Edwin nodded strongly. "Dang, you just knew?"
‘What? Why is the Riddle family hiding things from their own people?’
Just when he was about to say something, a sharp, feminine voice red out behind them. "What fire
crest? It''s nothing but a myth! No one believes in that crap!"
Raine had just walked in with Gary when she heard Edwin spouting what she considered to be
hogwash. The moment she saw Gary staring at Nicole, she became livid. She would never believe in a
lore that contrived.
"Only an idiot would doubt it! Why are there so many people here in your house today? They''re
obviously here to pay the sessor of the fire crest a visit!" Edwin red at Raine, as he had always
found her to be an imbecile!
Gary''s look of admiration grew even more intense when he stared at Nicole. He finally understood why
his family had brought him here to attend the banquet.
In a short span of time, Nicole had be a figure inmand of all the historical families. She was
just like an overlord in one of those fantasy novels. Previously, Gary had truly underestimated Nicole,
and as a result, waves of regret began to fill his heart as he downed another ss of wine.
Raine became even more jealous of Nicole as she quickly grabbed Gary by the arm.
"Gary, let''s head over there, shall we?”
"Piss off!” Gary yelled, havingpletely lost his patience.
Without extending her any courtesy, he flung her hand away.
Raine was left feelingpletely awkward. At this juncture, she could not bear to see anyone any
longer, and so, she buried her face in her hands and ran off.
