"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
"Also, check if our family members have had recent clashes with outsiders. This came out of nowhere, so someone must have unknowingly offended this powerful figure," Stuart ordered."They probably felt it wasn't worth destroying us over a small matter, so they just wanted to scare us. However, we can't just forget about this. If they can wipe us out so easily, who knows what will happen if someone carelessly offends them again? Next time, it might not be just a warning."As Stuart finished, Demetrius and his brothers frowned.Their father was right.They were still clueless about the person behind that, so they could not guarantee it would not happen again.In other words, their relief was only temporary."Dad, rest assured. We'll investigate this thoroughly," Demetrius said.Carlile suddenly thought of Matthias again but quickly shook off the thought.A nobody from Havenwood could not possibly be that influential figure.He chuckled at himself, realizing how rattled he had be
Stuart said, "Of course, the family will treat her well. She'll be rewarded generously and receive the status of a Reilley."Once it's done, you'll be in charge of our expansion in Havenwood."Carlile's eyes lit up at Stuart's words, and he replied eagerly, "Yes, Dad!"The possibility of overseeing Havenwood's business operations thrilled Carlile, significantly increasing his power within the family.Even before considering future developments, the resources he could control as the person in charge were considerable.Carlile smiled triumphantly, casting a mocking glance at his brothers.The others grew anxious, especially Demetrius.If Carlile were to take charge of the Reilley family's expansion in Havenwood, his influence would nearly rival his role as the family head."Dad, we should be cautious. We're not even sure if the woman is truly a Reilley. She can be anyone trying to worm her way into our family," Demetrius quickly chimed in."That's right, Dad. It's been over 20 y
Oswald was the son of Pierre Lowell and his first wife, who passed away shortly after Oswald's birth.Pierre then married Sylvia Cosgrove, who bore him two sons, Roland and Frederick.Even though Oswald was Pierre's eldest son, his young age and Sylvia's persuasion over Pierre led to much of the family's power being concentrated in her sons' hands.Consequently, Oswald held limited authority even after becoming the head of the Lowell family.Later, Sylvia, along with her sons, planned an assassination, killing Oswald and making Roland the new family head.Pierre was aware of that plot but accepted the outcome, as Roland's leadership benefited the family.Sylvia was part of the Lowell family's Crimson Titans, a powerful force in the warzone. Thus, she also secured Frederick's position as the Titans' leader, a Supreme-level warrior.Roland controlled the Lowell family's resources, working with Frederick to expand their influence.That arrangement seemed ideal for the family, so P
