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
Blake watched the scene unfold, listening to his elders' exchange.He stood frozen, unable to process the sudden shift in reality.Just moments ago, he and Pierre were casually dismissing the Legion of the Unbreakable, confident that Pierre's connections could easily solve the problem.However, the tables had turned.The Legion of the Unbreakable supposedly possessed half of New Avalbourne's military might, and Russell even advised the Lowell family to apologize.It sounded impossible!The Lowells were one of New Avalbourne's top three families.How could they be forced to seek mercy from a mere troop originating from the warzone?Besides, the Lowells secretly controlled several small countries.No matter where they were, they were basically untouchable, and all the systems and rulers would not apply to them.Blake felt his worldview crumbling for the first time ever, finding it hard to regain his composure.Meanwhile, in Havenwood's Amethyst Estate.Matthias and his family
Carlile's eyes flashed with contempt.He had investigated Matthias' background, only to find that Matthias suddenly appeared out of nowhere a few months ago, and he had not had a proper job since.Hence, Carlile believed Matthias was just a freeloader living off his daughter.Matthias' eyes narrowed, a flicker of deadly intent shimmering in them."Matt!" Leona called out, sensing Matthias' anger.Despite her dislike for Carlile, he was still her biological father, and she did not want things to escalate.Matthias took a deep breath and smiled reassuringly at Leona, indicating he was not angry.Leona turned to Carlile and said indifferently, "Mr. Reilley, I won't accept your terms. I have no interest in becoming part of the Reilley family. As for our father-daughter relationship..."It ended when you lost me. Please don't disturb my family again. My name is Leona Whitney. Matthias is my husband, and his words represent my wishes!""How dare you!" Carlile exploded, leaping to hi
Unlike Carlile's angry outbursts and verbal insults, Matthias' expression was deadly calm.He stared at Carlile and said coldly, "Do you have a death wish? Do you want the Reilley family to be six feet under?"The room fell into a sudden silence.Carlile stared at Matthias in disbelief, his face a mix of anger and humiliation.He could not believe Matthias, a freeloader, was threatening him.Nadine was terrified.She wanted to ease the tension, fearing Carlile might turn his anger on Matthias, but before she could act, Carlile moved.Carlile strode up to Matthias, looming over him as he sat on the sofa.His voice was filled with rage as he shouted, "What did you just say? Say it again!"Yet, Matthias remained indifferent.He met Carlile's gaze and slowly got up, standing a head taller than him."Apologize to Leona, or you'll be dead, and the Reilley family will be wiped out!""Matt!" Leona cried out in shock."You've got some nerve!" Carlile roared, his face red with anger
"I'm sorry; I acted presumptuously!"Leona did not respond, just crying silently.If she had a choice, she wished she had never met Carlile and Nadines or, better yet, that she had no connection to the Reilley family.The cycle of hope and disappointment was something she did not want to experience again.Carlile's eyes flickered as he gave Matthias a long look before turning to leave.Nadine stood frozen, looking from the departing Carlile to the sobbing Leona.Tears welled in her eyes, but ultimately, she chose to follow Carlile.However, her action only made Leona sadder, and she cried harder."Mommy, don't cry. I don't want you to cry," Danielle said, running over with open arms.Leona hugged Danielle tightly, leaning against Matthias as they embraced."Everything's alright. Don't cry. From now on, our family will always be together, never apart." Matthias comforted Leona gently.He thought about his own experience—how he and his parents were treated like outsiders in th
Alpha had overheard Carlile's disrespectful comments about Matthias from afar, and his anger was written all over his face.Standing at 1.9m tall, Alpha towered over Carlile.He looked at Carlile and warned him, "I advise you not to do anything foolish. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death the next time we meet."Carlile's face turned red from Alpha's words, feeling a mix of anger and humiliation."Y-You..." he stuttered.However, Alpha's muscular physique instilled a hint of fear in him, and he dared not talk back."Get lost! Don't let me see you again!" Alpha sneered before turning to leave.If not for Carlile being Leona's biological father, Alpha would have slapped him dead for his earlier words."Let's go!" Carlile spat through gritted teeth, quickly pulling Nadine away.He was furious.After all, he was part of the prestigious Reilley family and was used to being respected wherever he went.People usually bent over backward to curry favor with him, eager to earn his appro
Matthias and his family turned to the commotion and found a large group of young women holding up various signs, shouting excitedly.They pushed and shoved to get closer, held back only by security guards.The entire airport terminal was intrigued by the scene, and they watched as the young man in the center of the crowd occasionally smiled and waved at his fans.The seemingly amiable man was Kris Woods, a rising star and Actor of the Year.He had shot to A-list status right after his debut, and any news about him was guaranteed to make headlines the next day.Furthermore, Kris was not just an actor. He had also ventured into singing and writing, excelling in every entertainment field he touched."Daddy, it's a celebrity!" Danielle said, her face full of curiosity."Yes, it's a celebrity. Would you like to be a celebrity?" Matthias asked with a smile."She's too young for that kind of question," Leona chimed in, giving Matthias a disapproving look. "What if it gives her the wro
"I'm sorry, Mr. Woods. Headquarters booked these three tickets at the last minute. We didn't have time to inform you," the flight attendant said, her admiration for Kris quickly fading as she heard his foul language.Kris yelled, "Bullshit! Why would the headquarters book three first-class seats? I don't care. Get these three people out of my face. I've never shared first class with anyone. If this gets out, I'll be embarrassed!"The flight attendant looked troubled, knowing it was beyond her authority to resolve.At that moment, Matthias and his family entered the cabin and took their seats.Alpha had arranged their family's flight, and Matthias never cared much about it.Upon seeing Matthias and his family, Fanny quickly approached them, observing their ordinary clothes and complexion.She immediately pinned them as a middle-class family splurging on first-class tickets for a rare flight."Sir, ma'am, can you please leave this area? I can get your ticket money refunded. I'm su
