The Reilleys were one of the top families in New Avalbourne, and many powerhouses sought to collaborate with them.Yet, those same people were willing to pay hefty penalties to sever ties with the Reilley family.It was highly unusual.Demetrius Reilley, the head of the family, asked in disbelief, "Dad, what did they say? I can't believe they're bold enough to do this! Don't they understand the consequences?""Dad, is it all of our partners? What about the O'Hara family? Are they doing the same?"Stuart's four sons chimed in, all stunned by the sudden turn of events.Stuart sighed and tapped the table for silence. "The O'Hara family has also refused to work with us and paid the penalty. Jovanni told me directly that it was not their decision. A powerful figure wants to make things difficult for us.""What?"The room erupted in shock.Who could have such influence?They were one of New Avalbourne's most prominent families, with connections reaching the highest levels of govern
Despite the Reilley family's considerable power, their liquid assets were limited.The loans amounted to hundreds of millions, and most of their wealth was tied to physical assets.That was not unique to the Reilleys; most families and businesses kept minimal liquid funds, investing their money where needed and mortgaging assets to banks for loans.Usually, banks were eager to oblige such requests.Yet, Ace Finance was refusing to lend to the Reilley family, and the sudden withdrawal of financial support struck their empire's very foundation.How could the Reilleys not panic?"What?" Stuart shot to his feet, looking horrified.Suddenly, he swayed, and his vision darkened as he fell backward."Dad!""Grandpa!"The hall erupted into chaos, and everyone's attention shifted from Theon's shocking news to Stuart's wellbeing.If something happened to Stuart, their influence would be cut in half.After all, many of the Reilley family's crucial relationships were maintained through
With Stuart's dismissal, everyone left the hall.However, they all had a troubled look on their faces.The Reilley family was their biggest support, and they would surely lose their life of luxury if the family were to go bankrupt.Once alone, Stuart's shoulders slumped with his head bowed, looking defeated.He had a gut feeling that they were facing an unprecedented challenge, one that could easily lead to their downfall if not handled carefully.He took a deep breath and pulled out his phone to call his good friend."Hello, Jovanni. What's really going on here? We've been friends for decades. I'm begging you to give me some insight. Who's targeting my family?" Stuart's voice was urgent and sincere.Jovanni O'Hara sighed and replied, "Stuart, I did try to help. I've pulled strings trying to find out, but I'm in the dark, too. I don't know who the person is."Stuart was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure."Jovanni, please, you've got to help us. If you can't say ou
"What will be, will be. I hope the family can weather this storm," Stuart mumbled.The Reilley family quietly made their moves.All core members were tapping into their connections to uncover who was behind this attack. Yet, despite their efforts, they could not find a single clue about the mysterious enemy.Panic soon spread through the family.Some of the wiser family members secretly flew abroad with their assets, and others used various means to transfer their wealth.Some of the women even returned to their own families for refuge.The Reilleys' actions did not go unnoticed by the outside world, sparking widespread speculation.What could have driven one of New Avalbourne's top families to such desperate measures?However, the Reilleys remained tight-lipped about their situation.Furthermore, the powerhouses that had severed ties with them also maintained an unusual silence.As a result, other prominent families remained in the dark about the Reilleys' trouble.If the t
After Leona went to meet Nadine, Matthias remained seated on the couch, his eyes gleaming as he pondered his next steps.The Reilley family was established in Reirmunt, the capital of New Avalbourne.It seemed he had to handle the unfinished business in Reirmunt sooner than he expected.The Lowell family of Reirmunt—it was hard to believe ten years had passed so quickly.Matthias lay on the couch, thinking about a deep secret in his heart.It was about his real identity—something even his earliest followers in the Legion of the Unbreakable were unaware of.Ten years ago, Matthias had gone alone to the international warzone.No one knew him then, but when everyone did, no one knew his past.Matthias was actually the son of the previous head of the Lowell family in Reirmunt!The Lowell family was one of Reirmunt's top three distinguished families, several times more powerful than the Reilley family.The previous head of the Lowell family, Oswald Lowell, along with his wife and
In the end, Oswald told Matthias that he should wait ten years if he ever gained the power for revenge.After all, the Lowell family had raised Matthias for ten years, so he should give them the same.Even though Matthias had the power to destroy the Lowell family five years ago, he forced himself to wait the entire decade.During those ten years, he had kept his father's promise, never making any moves against the Lowell family as if they were strangers.Even when Frederick Lowell, the leader of the Crimson Titans, visited him at the Hall of Unbreakable a few years back, he acted normal and did not make things difficult for Frederick.However, the ten-year promise was over, and he no longer needed to hold back.Matthias' eyes gleamed as he called Alpha, commanding, "Investigate everything about Reirmunt's Lowell family, especially the truth behind the assassination of the family head, Oswald Lowell, ten years ago.""Yes, on it!" Alpha felt a chill, instinctively knowing Matthia
Even though Leona had accepted Nadine as her mother, she had yet to change her form of address.Nadine naturally understood, knowing her daughter had suffered a lot over the years.She was willing to wait and make amends."Leona, don't worry. I'll call your dad with the good news later. We'll make up for all the hardships you've faced. The Reilley family will compensate you, too," Nadine said, her heart aching at the thought of her daughter's lonely years.Leona shook her head quickly. "No need. I accept you, but that doesn't mean I'll accept him or the Reilley family. Our family will only include you. I don't want any compensation.""Well, alright." Nadine sighed, not pushing the issue.She knew Carlile and the Reilley family well.Even though she wanted the three of them to be reunited and hoped that the Reilley family would make up for Leona, trouble would surely follow suit.Hence, Leona's choice was probably for the best.Leona and Nadine continued chatting with Matthias
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Stuart's reply, and the room fell into an eerie silence.They found it hard to believe that it was over just like that.A day ago, it seemed the Reilley family was on the brink of bankruptcy, but the crisis was settled overnight.Demetrius cleared his throat and said, "Dad, this isn't the time for jokes."As the head of the Reilley family, Demetrius had seen a lot, but nothing like that.A figure powerful enough to have Russell deliver messages would not play such childish games, would they?Scaring them and then nothing?Of course, the Reilley family had lost millions in just one night, but that was insignificant compared to what could have been."Nonsense! When have I ever joked about such matters?" Stuart snapped, glaring at Demetrius.He turned to address the room, irritated. "You may all leave. The crisis is over, but it's best you all stay home for a while and not cause any trouble."The room sighed in relief, and their faces lit
Clearly, Matthias did not hold back as Roland's body flew far, blood spewing from his mouth even before he hit the ground.His action shocked the Lowell family members, their faces filled with fear. Pierre was the first to kneel, followed quickly by the others."I came here today to ask if you regret your actions and to destroy you, not to negotiate," Matthias stated coldly. "Any chance of reconciliation between the Lowell family and me vanished the moment you drove my parents to their deaths."I said I'd destroy the Lowell family and that East Mountain would become my parents' grave. What? Is the word of the leader of the Legion of the Unbreakable so meaningless to nobodies like you?"Pierre and the others turned pale, finally realizing Matthias truly intended to destroy them."No! The Lowell family has a history that spans thousands of years. It can't end with me! I admit I was foolish back then. I'm willing to pay any price to make amends!" Pierre pleaded."Please calm down. W
On East Mountain, all the guests invited to the Lowell family's gathering stood frozen, their faces blank with shock and disbelief.Ten minutes earlier, they had been confident of the Lowell family's victory, treating the confrontation with Matthias as a mere game. However, the tables had turned—the mountain echoed with the sounds of battle, and the Lowell family's pride, the seemingly invincible Crimson Titans, were being slaughtered by Matthias' forces.Furthermore, Frederick had taken his own life. Pierre, who had always been above everything, thinking he controlled everything, was on his knees, begging Matthias for mercy.That sudden turn of events left them all stunned and trembling in fear. Those quick to flatter the Lowell family and rebuke Matthias wished they could go back in time and slap themselves.Matthias was the leader of the Legion of the Unbreakable, the most feared organization in the international warzone. Everyone finally realized that their actions, including t
"I'll make East Mountain the foundation and the lives of all Lowell family members the grave. You betrayed my parents and my friend. I'll make you atone for your sins for generations to come!"Legion of the Unbreakable! Where are you?" Matthias called out.When Matthias finished speaking, countless powerful and terrifying auras suddenly erupted across East Mountain. The sky seemed to darken, heavy clouds gathering ominously.A group suddenly appeared to the east of the 4000 Crimson Titans warriors. Five figures at the forefront unleashed terrifying auras, charging into the center of the Crimson Titans' formation with unstoppable momentum."We're Lambda, Upsilon, Delta, Eta, and Pi of the Legion of the Unbreakable. We stood by Lord Matthias to destroy our enemies!"To the west, another five figures appeared; behind them, ten more. In other directions, more people emerged."Chi, here with Lord Matthias to annihilate our foes!""Nu, obeying Lord Matthias to eradicate our enemies! T
Just as Frederick's hand was about to strike Wyatt's head, a figure suddenly appeared before him, moving so fast that it caught Frederick off guard. Before he knew it, a sharp pain shot through his chest.Frederick was shocked to find himself flying backward. Not only that, but Matthias was the one who struck him. He could not believe it, his mind buzzing from the surprise and confusion.As Frederick's body slammed hard into the ground, he coughed up blood, his eyes wide with disbelief. It seemed he had been severely injured by just a single kick from Matthias.A deathly silence fell over the crowd, and everyone was stunned by what they had just witnessed. They could not believe their eyes—the leader of the Crimson Titans, a top-tier warrior, had been sent flying by Matthias' kick.Even the 4000 Crimson Titans warriors were momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend how a single kick from Matthias defeated Frederick."I told you I came here to destroy all of you. Did you not take m
Wyatt's eyes were red, his heart heavy with the guilt of a decision that had haunted him for a lifetime."So, the Alistair who died back then was actually my son, Dexter. The real Alistair is Matthias, this man standing before you now! He's the true heir to the Lowell family! I, Wyatt Armstrong, swear on my life that everything I've said is the truth!" Wyatt shouted, his face pleading as he looked toward the assembled family heads.For a moment, the crowd fell silent. Finally, they understood why Matthias claimed to be Alistair.Among the crowd, some family members' eyes flickered with sympathy. They knew Wyatt was telling the truth, but they could not acknowledge it because doing so would mean offending the Lowell family."How ridiculous! What a joke!" Pierre suddenly burst into laughter, then fixed his gaze on Wyatt, his eyes filled with rage."You're nothing but a lowly servant. I never thought you'd betray us and side with outsiders against the Lowell family! You ungrateful do
Matthias moved past Alpha and approached Frederick.His gaze swept over Pierre and the others as he continued speaking, "Since the city's most prominent families are gathered here today, I simply want to recount past events in front of everyone."I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, you'd all jump to silence me. Are you afraid that the truth will tarnish your reputation?""How dare you! Absolute nonsense!" Pierre suddenly lashed out, his face dark with anger.He glared at Matthias and spoke with added emphasis, "You're nothing but a nobody, impersonating a member of the Lowell family, spouting lies and fear mongering. The truth? I've already told the truth about what happened back then. Do you think the heads of these distinguished families will believe the words of a fraud like you?""Exactly. The tragedy that happened to Oswald and his family scarred us. You're a nobody, repeatedly picking at the Lowell family's wounds with your little tricks. Do you really think a
The Crimson Titans warriors were restless, waiting for Frederick's command to charge en masse, whereas the Lowell family members looked slightly uneasy but still believed they had everything under control.The guests whispered among themselves. They knew Matthias and his subordinates were Supreme-level warriors and were puzzled as to why Frederick, as the leader of the Crimson Titans, could not defeat Matthias' man. In fact, the two men were still standing in place.Suddenly, two figures burst from the crowd—Draco and Gorgon, the other two Supreme-level warriors of the Crimson Titans."Alpha, stand down," Matthias said calmly.Alpha immediately released Frederick but remained in front of Matthias. Though he knew even the three opponents together were no match for Matthias, as a subordinate, he could not allow such insignificant beings to threaten his leader.Unexpectedly, Frederick quickly retreated, stopping Draco and Gorgon from intervening."Matthias, no wonder you're so confi
The Lowell family members scoffed at Matthias' words. With the Crimson Titans army and three Supreme-level warriors on their side, how could they not be assured of victory?"Matthias, stop your clownish behavior. Bring your people out and face the Crimson Titans' fury!" Pierre taunted, exuding an air of complete control."Game over, Matthias. Today, you'll all die here because of your past foolishness!" Frederick sneered, ready to order an attack at any moment.However, Matthias remained indifferent to Pierre and Frederick's words. Instead, he continued speaking as if to himself."Ten years ago, the previous Lowell family head, Oswald, traveled abroad with his wife and child to check on the Crimson Titans, the family's military unit in the warzone," Matthias said. "Little did he know, he was walking into a trap set for him long before."Matthias turned to Pierre, his eyes filled with hatred and anguish. "I bet you didn't expect that he knew it was a trap, but he went without hesit
Matthias and his group slowly ascend the mountain. Behind him were Leona, Danielle, Wyat's family, Alpha, and several warriors from the Legion of the Unbreakable.Meanwhile, the Lowell family and their guests were descending hurriedly, their presence intimidating and their numbers overwhelming.When both groups spotted each other, Matthias remained indifferent. After all, every member of the Lowell family was long dead in his eyes.However, the Lowells were seething with anger. Matthias' bold attempt to ascend the mountain was seen as a disgrace to their family—never before had anyone dared to challenge them like that.Frederick led the Crimson Titans and quickened his pace, fearing Matthias might turn tail and flee upon seeing their formidable force. In an instant, the two groups met, with barely 50 meters between them. Then, Frederick raised his hand, and the Crimson Titans halted immediately, demonstrating their strict discipline.Matthias stopped as well, staring at Frederick
