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
"Also, have our people in New Avalbourne start attacking Lowell family businesses. Drive them into a corner!" Matthias ordered."Yes, sir!" Alpha responded.He realized Matthias was furious, as Matthias did not even choose such brutal methods when destroying the Vaughn and Stoermer families.After all, the most terrifying revenge was not swift destruction but gradually driving the enemy to madness, letting them struggle until they lost all hope."Um...the Lowell family..." Alpha began, unsure how to phrase his question.Matthias' voice was gruff as he replied, "You've probably guessed it. I'm Oswald Lowell's son, Alistair. I didn't die; someone died in my place."Alpha's mind went blank.While he had suspected that, he had forced himself not to think about it as he dared not to speculate about Matthias' background.Hence, when Matthias confirmed his identity, Alpha was stunned."Sir!" Alpha exclaimed, suddenly filled with rage and murderous intent.The Lowell family had tried
The day after Matthias' order, the Unbreakables went on a rampage, hunting down Crimson Titans members and trades worldwide.If Matthias had not intended to torment the Crimson Titans and the Lowell family, the Crimson Titans might have been wiped out overnight.Meanwhile, in a valley in the continent of Belvandea.The phones in the Crimson Titans headquarters were ringing non-stop, with their members worldwide reporting their situations.Frederick, their leader, sat on his throne, overwhelmed.Four other Supreme-level warriors of the Crimson Titans were also present.Including Frederick, they were considered formidable on the international scene, but they all seemed anxious and tense.They had received news that the attackers were none other than the Legion of the Unbreakable, the undisputed greatest force in the world!A force that they all looked up to!"Why? What's going on? Who was foolish enough to anger them?" Frederick roared, helpless at the thought of facing such a p
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
