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," Ellar 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 glass 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?" Ellar asked without hesitation, as he was still pretty young.
Preston and Everett shared a neutral relationship, so he just shot Everett a glance while Emery continued sipping on her drink, as she did not seem to be interested in this subject at all.
Everett looked at Ellar and flashed 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 to combat the deadly manslayer 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 successor of the fire crest?"
