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
"Get out of here now! Who are you to be in the first class with me? You're just a bunch of losers!"The atmosphere in the plane instantly turned tense.Matthias slowly stood up, his eyes cold as he stared at Kris."Apologize, or I'll throw you off this plane!"Kris' anger flared at those words.Ever since he debuted, no one had threatened him like that.He leaped from his seat and lunged at Matthias."Me? Apologize? Who do you think you are? Open your damn eyes and see who I am. I'm Kris Woods!"As Kris shouted, he swung his hand to slap Matthias.Behind him, Fanny looked troubled but did not intervene.She had seen Kris acting that way many times and only dreaded the money she would have to spend to clean up the mess later.However, Kris' scream echoed in the cabin as Matthias caught his hand mid-swing, the grip painfully tight."Ouch! It hurts! Do you have a fucking death wish? Let go of me!" Kris cursed.Even though he knew he was outmatched, Kris was not afraid simply
Matthias' family remained in first class while Kris and Fanny, having learned their lesson, moved to the economy."Screw them! I'll get my revenge!" Kris seethed, his eyes bloodshot.He turned to Fanny and said, "When we land in Reirmunt, I'll make that family kneel and beg for forgiveness!""No problem. I'll handle everything. No matter how big it gets, the media won't find out," Fanny said to assure him.As she looked at Kris' swollen face, her hatred for Matthias only deepened.After all, Kris' injury would surely lead to missed events and lost income.Those were losses that they could not ignore!Meanwhile, Matthias reclined in his seat, thinking about his plans in Reirmunt.Alpha was already there to set things in motion, waiting for his arrival and taking charge.As for Kris, he was just an unimportant person in Matthias' eyes, long dismissed.Two hours later, the plane landed at Reirmunt Airport.As Matthias and his family disembarked, Kris and Fanny followed at a dis
With two loud thuds, both bodyguards flew backward.Watching from afar, Bethany Holmes quickly approached with her escort and Kris."How dare you! You dared to attack the Holmes family's men? Do you know who I am? I summoned you, yet you refused to come!" Bethany fumed, her face flushed with anger."You idiot! Not only did you hit me, but you also attacked Bethany's guards. You clearly don't respect her at all!" Kris shouted gleefully, glaring at Matthias."Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Do you have a death wish, offending Bethany in Reirmunt?"Matthias glanced coldly at Kris and turned to Bethany. "You're blocking my way for this pretty boy? Have you considered the consequences?"Bethany was stunned to hear his reply, but her surprise quickly turned to mockery.She laughed and said, "Are you talking to me? Who do you think you are? I'm the Holmes family heiress. I was only going to have you apologize to Kris. Yet, you're so arrogant that you dare threaten me?"Then
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
