From the back of the crowd, Stuart shouted with rage, his eyes bloodshot. Matthias' act of destroying the gates was a grave insult to any prestigious family.Matthias coldly surveyed the scene, his team standing in formation behind him."You shouldn't have pushed your luck," Matthias said icily."Matthias, how dare you be so audacious!" Carlile roared.Alpha and the others behind Matthias bristled with anger, ready to tear Carlile to shreds for insulting their leader.Matthias raised a hand to calm them, then gave his orders. "Tonight, we only rescue, but whoever stands in our way dies.""Yes, my lord!"Stuart taunted, "Hmph, rescue? Now that you're here, you won't be leaving. I bet a loser like you would never have imagined facing this day. You caused a scene at the Reilley estate before and left freely. But today, though you're on our territory again, you won't have the chance to leave!"Matthias gave Stuart a cold glare but remained silent. He made a single gesture that only
As the battle intensified rapidly, Matthias moved like a bolt of lightning through the crowd, completely unstoppable. Alpha fought beside him, resembling a frenzied beast as he plowed through the enemies.From inside the mansion, Stuart watched the scene unfold with growing unease.He turned to Demetrius and asked, "When will Dalton arrive? I never expected Matthias to be so formidable; his men are no weaklings either."Demetrius's face had gone pale. In just a short time, over a hundred people lay on the ground, their fates uncertain, while Matthias and his team remained uninjured and seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment."The Lowell family just called. They've notified Dalton, so he should be here soon," Demetrius replied.Then, he said, with concern, "With our 500 men, we should be able to subdue Matthias and his team, right?"No one answered his question. Even Stuart remained silent, his eyes fixed on Matthias in the crowd.Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, he i
Matthias trembled, struggling to contain his burning killing intent. He glanced at Stuart, then at Leona and Danielle in the distance, formulating a plan.Soon, Alpha and the others gathered around him, their eyes filled with rage as they glared at Stuart."Well, Matthias, still not kneeling?" Demetrius taunted from afar, waving a dagger near Leona and Danielle. "Do you really want to see Danielle die before your eyes?"Matthias' gaze snapped to Demetrius, his eyes blazing with fury as he shouted, "Alpha!"Alpha and the others quickly surrounded Matthias. In a coordinated move that took less than a second, they hoisted Matthias and launched him toward Demetrius.The Reilley family and their bodyguards were caught off guard, still processing what had happened as Matthias soared toward Demetrius."Stop him! Quickly!" Demetrius cried out, his face turning pale."Stop him! Kill Leona and Danielle! Protect Demetrius!" Stuart shouted in panic.Yet, it was too late.With a thunderous
Leona fell unconscious in Matthias' arms. The torture she had endured at the hands of the Reilley family had pushed her to her limits, and when Matthias arrived, she finally allowed herself to relax and succumb to exhaustion.Matthias stood guard over Leona and Danielle, casting a cold glance at Stuart before addressing Alpha."Kill them all.""Yes, my lord!" Alpha and his team roared.With their main concern safe, they unleashed their full power. Each strike targeted vital points, leaving their opponents in critical condition."Attack!" Alpha and his men fought with rampant fury, their enemies falling in droves.Stuart's face paled as he witnessed the bloodbath. Pushing aside his grief for his dead son, he began to retreat hastily."Fall back! Retreat!" he shouted, desperately wondering why Dalton had not arrived yet.Matthias' group was simply too powerful. If Dalton did not show up soon, they were doomed.The Reilley family members fled toward the back of the estate, with t
"Delilah!" Stuart cried out, rushing to her side. He helped her up, then glared at Matthias with intense hatred. "Matthias, don't push your luck! This is not a place where you can do as you please!"Soon, the other Reilley family members echoed Stuart's words, their angry shouts filling the room as they glared at Matthias with burning rage."That's right! Don't think your strength gives you free rein. Your arrogance will be your downfall!""Matthias, leave now if you want to live! You're not welcome here!""You've made enemies of the Reilleys, Lowells, Ramsays, and other great families. Your death is certain!"Matthias coldly scanned the crowd and spoke in an icy tone, "I want all of you to kneel and confess your mistakes!""Matthias, don't cross the line!" Stuart's eyes blazed with wrath."Shut up! All of you, kneel! Or you'll all face death!" Alpha roared, smashing a table with his palm and glaring menacingly at the Reilley family members.The family members flinched, looking
In the grand hall, all members of the Reilley family were on their knees, their faces a mix of humiliation and hatred.That day would forever be their disgrace.Matthias looked at them with mockery as they did not seem to grasp their situation even though things had progressed to this point.Did they really think he would not dare to destroy the Reilley family?After they were rescued, Nadine tended to Leona and Danielle. She was stunned to see the scene in the hall, unable to process what she witnessed. Initially, she thought they were doomed, but Matthias had completely turned the tables, with the Reilley family kneeling before him.It was beyond her comprehension, especially considering they were still on the Reilleys' territory.Matthias approached Delilah, who had regained consciousness and glared at him venomously."So, you made that phone call? You invited me, and here I am," Matthias said calmly."Don't get cocky, Matthias," Delilah snarled. "Dalton will be here soon. T
"Matthias, I'm Leona's father! How could you bring yourself to hurt me? Everyone here is Leona's family. You wouldn't dare touch us, would you?" Carlile shouted, his expression conflicted.If not for the fear of becoming disabled, he would not have even mentioned his connection to Leona.Matthias turned to Carlile and said icily, "You've compounded your crimes, so both your hands will be broken. The others are one thing, but you laid hands on your own daughter. You're worse than an animal!""You can't!" Carlile exclaimed, shocked.Compounded his crimes?No way!Would he really be crippled?Then, Carlile saw Alpha approaching with a smirk, and panic immediately set in."Stay back! I'm Leona's father! Stay away!" Carlile yelled.He turned to Matthias, pleading, "You can't do this. I'm Leona's father, which makes me your father too!""Shut up! Say another word, and I'll kill you right now!" Matthias thundered, cutting Carlile off.Carlile's eyes darted rapidly, his body trembli
At the Archer residence in Reirmunt, Dalton was preparing to leave after receiving word from the Reilley family. However, his plans were unexpectedly interrupted when Russell called, demanding to see him.Despite his reluctance, Dalton had no choice but to meet Russell at the War Department. Even though he held the prestigious title of warlord, Russell was the first commander of New Avalbourne's military, and his summons could not be ignored.Upon arriving at the War Department, Dalton anticipated an important matter or mission. To his surprise, Russell merely wanted to discuss arrangements for the upcoming Hero's Banquet.Their conversation dragged on for two whole hours before Russell finally dismissed Dalton. Even though frustrated, Dalton could only hold back his anger. After all, Russell's actions stemmed from the high regard he held for Dalton.As he watched Dalton's retreating figure, Russell breathed a sigh of relief.'Oh, Dalton, I just saved your life tonight! One day, y
