In the car, Alpha briefed Matthias on the Legion of the Unbreakable's recent activities.Over the past few days, the Unbreakables had been hunting down members of the Lowell family's Crimson Titans in foreign warzones. They had already taken out two of the Crimson Titans' Supreme-level warriors.Meanwhile, within New Avalbourne, all the forces controlled by the Legion of the Unbreakable launched various economic attacks against the Lowell family. As a result, the Lowells were caught in a perfect storm, suffering asset losses of at least hundreds of millions daily.The Lowell family was powerless against the Legion of the Unbreakable's onslaught. Even when Pierre personally reached out to many old friends, they could only offer sympathy for the family's situation and not provide any real help.The reason was simple—no one knew who was behind the attacks on the Lowell family, and even the Lowells were clueless about their enemy's identity.Ironically, they believed they were facing
Russell received the news about Matthias' arrival almost instantly. Within moments, Reirmunt's defense level was raised a notch.Simultaneously, two pieces of news spread among Reirmunt's great families. The first was that Russell would host a Hero's Banquet, inviting all prominent families to welcome a legendary warlord back from the military.All the Reirmunt's elite knew the warrior's name—Dalton Archer.Dalton was Reirmunt's Archer family's adopted son, and he was in love with Hazel Garcia, the eldest daughter of Reirmunt's Garcia family, for years. However, his older brother, Linus Archer, had used family connections to arrange a marriage with her.On Linus's wedding day, Dalton eloped with Hazel, but the Archer family discovered them. Enraged, the Archer family patriarch falsely accused Dalton of a crime and imprisoned him for seven years.While serving his sentence, a powerful figure noticed him and recruited him into the military. No one expected Dalton to turn his life ar
"Damn it! Who the hell is targeting us? Who's got the guts to bring up that old matter? You're all so useless!"Then, Pierre turned his fury to Roland, who stood among others in the room.His breathing grew heavy with rage as he yelled, "The Lowell family's businesses are spread all over New Avalbourne, and you can't even figure out who's coming after us? It's such a simple task!"Roland and the others stood trembling, not daring to utter a word. Pierre rarely lost his temper, but when he did, everyone in the Lowell family feared him."It's infuriating! You're all incompetent!" Pierre slumped into his chair, his emotions written all over his face.Roland quickly looked at Blake, signaling him to console Pierre.Blake nodded and approached Pierre, gently patting his back to calm him down."Grandpa, please control your emotions. This news is likely from the same shady figure targeting our family. Their goal is to make us lose our composure."In times like these, you need to keep
The room fell into a deafening silence as everyone stared at Pierre, stunned by his words.The brothers' conspiracy to kill Oswald was not exactly a secret within the family. Still, no one had mentioned it since it happened, as if they had collectively chosen to forget.Yet, Pierre casually brought up the details in front of everyone.Pierre's face darkened as Roland remained silent, and his tone grew heavier as he repeated the question."I asked you a question. Did you confirm it?""Dad, there was only one child on the boat," Roland hurriedly replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "His clothes and height were the same. It must've been him."In truth, they had not bothered to investigate further, never imagining a ten-year-old could escape.Pierre stared at Roland, causing him to avert his gaze."If that child is alive and has returned for revenge, can he be the one behind everything we're facing now?" Pierre mused, his eyes glinting.His words sent shockwaves through the
Seeing Blake's confidence, Pierre felt a bit more relaxed. Despite their current challenges, the Lowell family's deep-rooted influence meant those obstacles would pass. Their fortunes would change once they found a way to turn things around.They believed that the more dire their situation seemed, the more glorious their comeback would be.The next day, Matthias, Leona, and Danielle visited the Reilley family at noon.Alpha had informed the Reilley family about the visit the day before, and they were puzzled.Previously, Stuart had sent Carlile to Havenwood to persuade Leona to hand over Wealthtrack Financial Corporation to them. In exchange, the Reilley family would accept her back into the fold.However, Carlile's mission had failed, infuriating Stuart and subjecting Carlile to his brothers' mockery.If he could not even handle his daughter, how could he be expected to lead the Reilley family's venture in Havenwood?Just as the Reilley family was considering other ways to pres
Carlile's face darkened at Stuart's words. However, his other brothers could barely contain their glee. Stuart's treatment of Leona was indirectly a slight against Carlile, a spectacle they thoroughly enjoyed.Nadine looked pained and was about to plead on Leona's behalf when someone beat her to it."Dad is right. She was raised outside our family. Who knows what kind of crowd she's been mixing with? If she wants to join the family now, she needs to learn the Reilley ways properly," Niles' wife, Michelle Townsend, said, her voice dripping with disdain as she shot Nadine a smug glance.Nadine's eyes flashed with irritation. The four Reilley sons' covert rivalries extended to their wives, turning the family into a soap opera of hidden agendas and petty conflicts."Exactly," Mitch's wife, Sarah Brown, commented sarcastically. "Everyone knows how much we value our traditions. Leona rejected us before, but now she's crawling back. We can't let her make fools of us. If we don't teach her
"Stop right there! What do you think you're doing?" one of the guards glared coldly at Matthias.Matthias frowned, glancing at the guard. "It's too hot out here. Surely a mansion like yours has a waiting room? Let us wait there.""Ha! Let you?" The guard looked at Matthias with disdain, his tone mocking. "You think you're worthy to be in the waiting room? That's for the Reilley family's guests only. You don't qualify!""That's right!" another guard said, his voice dripping with contempt. "Know your place. Half the city would love to get through these gates. Not everyone gets to wait in the Reilley family's waiting room. Common folk like you should be grateful we haven't chased you off yet."Matthias' eyes flashed with anger as he stared at the three guards."Matt, don't do anything rash," Leona warned. "Let's wait a bit longer. I'm sure someone will come out soon."She feared Matthias might cause trouble and doubted his Legion of the Unbreakable could stand up to the Reilley fami
As the three guards moved to block Matthias, with one attempting a vicious kick, a flash of deadly intent crossed Matthias' eyes. In a split second, he lashed out with his own foot.Three loud thuds echoed as the guards were sent flying backward. The one who had tried to kick Matthias suffered the worst, with at least three broken ribs.In the blink of an eye, all three guards writhed on the ground in agony, staring at Matthias in shock. They could not believe that an ordinary-looking man had such incredible strength.Just then, the guard who had gone inside earlier came running out. His face contorted with rage when he saw his colleagues on the ground."What's going on here? Did you do this? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"In a flash, Matthias closed the distance between them, grabbing the guard by the throat."You're back. It took you half an hour to do something so simple. So tell me—who's trying to get themselves killed here?"The guard's face turned pale, stunned by
