Clinton's men smashed everything in sight."Clinton, please don't wreck this place! I know I messed up, but if you destroy my stand, I won't be able to make money to pay you!" Wyatt pleaded desperately, crawling toward Clinton despite having just been slapped to the ground.Clinton spat contemptuously and sneered at Wyatt. "Why should I care? You brought this onto yourself. We're trashing your stand today, and if you still can't pay up tomorrow, who knows? I might sell your daughter off.""No! Please, Clinton, I'm begging you. Noelle's still young—she's only in college. If you've got a problem, take it out on me. Leave her out of it," Wyatt begged, his face paled with fear.Clinton grinned wickedly and said, "College girls fetch a good price, you know. Noelle is gorgeous, and I bet I can get top dollar for her if you hand her to me."Meanwhile, Elizabeth was trying to stop Clinton's men from wrecking everything, but a young guy with dyed blond hair, Ethan, kicked her to the ground
Clinton was confident in his powerful connections, believing that even if that young man were from some influential family, he had picked the wrong fight and better be ready to lose both legs.He smirked and said in a mocking tone, "Wyatt, why do you put yourself through this? The Lowell family offered you a butler position several times. If you'd accepted, you wouldn't be in this mess now.""Please, Clinton," Wyatt begged on his knees. "I know I messed up. Just let the young man go; he's not involved in this."He ignored Clinton's mention of the Lowell family because that was never an option for him. Instead, he just felt terrible for dragging that stranger into his troubles."Oh, Wyatt, you can't even help yourself, and you're worried about others? Think about what's going to happen to Noelle tonight! As for this clueless kid, you'll be watching him beg for mercy soon enough."Clinton laughed and pulled up a chair, ready to enjoy the show. He could already picture the young man
Matthias was like a madman, grabbing Clinton's hair and shoving his face into the floor. Within seconds, Clinton's face was a bloody mess."Stop! Please stop! I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Clinton begged, truly frightened by Matthias.Matthias released Clinton and glared at him.As Clinton tried to stand, Matthias barked, "On your knees when you speak to me!"Clinton's knees hit the ground with a thud. He looked up at Matthias fearfully and shouted, "I'm sorry, sir. I was wrong!"Matthias stared coldly at him. He gestured at Wyatt and Elizabeth, commanding, "Apologize to them!"The couple stood beside Matthias, stunned by the scene before them. They looked at Matthias in confusion, unsure why that stranger was helping them."I'm so sorry!" Clinton turned to the couple, his voice filled with apparent sincerity. "Mr. Armstrong, I'm at fault. I'm sorry!"Despite his words, a glint of malice flashed in Clinton's eyes. Being forced to apologize to someone like Wyatt was utterly humiliati
'You saved me once. From now on, I'll protect you for life!' Matthias silently vowed.Alpha led Wyatt and Elizabeth away. As they left, the couple cast worried and guilty glances at Matthias, murmuring about how they had dragged that young man into their mess.Once they were gone, Matthias turned to Clinton, radiating an intense aura of menace.Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered around the food stand—all Clinton's men. They clutched various weapons, glaring at Matthias as if he were already dead.Clinton crawled backward until he reached his men, then stood up. His face twisted with rage, and he finally regained his confidence. He had the strength in numbers and refused to believe Matthias could defeat them all."Now, try repeating what you said earlier!"I don't care who you are. Today, I'm teaching you a lesson! Get him! Don't kill him—just cripple him!"A roar went up from over a hundred voices. "Yes, Clinton!"The mob surged toward Matthias, but he remained unfazed. He turned
Matthias clenched his fists, overwhelmed with the urge to kill, as he listened to Clinton's shocking revelation.When Wyatt left the Lowell family, Oswald's presence allowed him and his family to live a relatively comfortable life. However, after Oswald's death, the Lowell family tried to bring Wyatt back. He refused.From that point on, the Lowells sabotaged everything Wyatt attempted. He lost his job, and his elderly father was supposedly accidentally killed during a morning walk by someone the Lowells had hired. They also ruined every business venture Wyatt started.As a result, the family's life spiraled downward.All of that was orchestrated on a whim by a young Lowell—Barry, Roland's second son. He was a typical spoiled rich kid who threw his weight around in Reirmunt, abusing the Lowell family's power."Take me to Barry," Matthias uttered coldly."What?" Clinton was stunned when he heard Matthias' request but quickly shook his head. His face was pale as he begged, "Please,
Even though Barry was only Roland's son with no chance of inheriting the Lowell family leadership, the resources at his disposal were enough to make lesser families drool."Barry, I have a favor to ask. The Reilley family wants to expand into Havenwood's financial sector, but it's the Grahams' territory. We'd face pushback if we moved in without support," Jeremy Reilley, Demetrius's son, said.The Graham family was similar in strength to the Reilley family.Barry shrugged nonchalantly. "The Grahams? No big deal. I'll make a call and sort it out."Jeremy's face lit up with excitement. "Thank you, Barry! This is a huge help to the Reilley family."He could not wait to tell Stuart, who would probably be ecstatic.Barry smirked and asked, "By the way, Jeremy. I heard some young hotshot barged into your place today and made the Reilley family submit to him. Pretty pathetic for a so-called elite family of Reirmunt, don't you think?"Jeremy's face flushed with embarrassment, and he fel
After dismissing Matthias, Barry turned his attention back to his companions. To him, Matthias was just a minor nuisance. Hence, he only asked Matthias to kneel. He would deal with him later."So you're Barry Lowell," Matthias growled, his expression icy.Jeremy jumped in, eager to impress Barry. "How dare you! Barry told you to kneel outside. Who do you think you are to speak to him?"Unless Matthias had a death wish, Jeremy doubted that Matthias would do anything with Barry present. Yet, with just a single icy glare from Matthias, Jeremy shrank back, remembering Matthias' display of strength at the Reilley estate all too well."Shut up if you want to live. I'm here for Barry," Matthias said flatly.Barry finally looked at Matthias and said, "You're here for me? Do you want to die in my hands, or are you here because you want to be one of my people? After your stunt at the Reilleys', I might just consider it. However, you chose the wrong way to approach me."Barry glanced at Cli
A terrifying aura erupted from Matthias, his eyes blazing red as he leaped into action. With a powerful punch, he sent the first bodyguard flying across the room, severely injuring the person. Then, he quickly followed up by kicking another bodyguard away.Barry and the others watched the fight unfold. At first, Barry looked disdainful, but his expression gradually froze as he realized the situation was spiraling out of control.Jeremy was terrified and inched toward the exit while the other young heirs looked on in surprise, unfamiliar with Matthias' fighting skills."Barry, need a hand? I may not be the Ramsay family's favorite, but I have bodyguards," Edmund said.The Ramsay family was also a major family in Reirmunt, much stronger than the Reilleys.The other heirs chimed in, suggesting they test how many men it would take to subdue Matthias. Jeremy could only smile bitterly, remembering that the Reilley family had recently dismissed all their guards."What are you waiting fo
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
