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
Pierre scoffed. "What a coward. He's getting all worked up over the Legion of the Unbreakable. The warzone is just full of thugs fighting each other. "Even if they're ranked first with dozens of Supreme-level warriors, what does it matter? Fred needs to calm down."Pierre shook his head dismissively.He understood the warzone as a place where shady characters banded together for illegal activities.The Lowell family might worry if they were abroad, but they were part of New Avalbourne, a world superpower.How could the Legion of the Unbreakable, no matter how strong, challenge an entire nation?Blake remained silent.Even if he agreed with Pierre's criticism of Frederick, he could not comment on it out of respect for his elders."Tell your uncle I've already had your dad contact the New Avalbourne military. They'll keep the Legion of the Unbreakable in check. Tell him not to worry," Pierre said, smiling and shaking his head.He thought using his connections for such a trivial
Blake listened respectfully to Pierre as the older man continued his guidance, sharing his insights.They chatted about recent events in the capital, including the Reilley family's situation.Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed into the courtyard, shouting, "Dad! Dad!"It was Roland, the head of the Lowell family and second-in-command after Pierre.Roland's face was pale, his forehead beaded with sweat.He had just learned shocking news from the military department, and he could not believe the influence the Legion of the Unbreakable wielded."Why are you so flustered? You'll be the laughingstock of the city if anyone sees you like this," Pierre scolded, clearly irritated.Roland ignored his father's rebuke and exclaimed, "Dad, something unexpected happened! The military refuses to intervene, and Russell has a message for you, saying that if the Crimson Titans truly offended the Legion of the Unbreakable, we must do everything we can to beg for forgiveness."Russell also mention
