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
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
