Ever since Alden arrived in St. Merilo, he had faced nothing but setbacks.The mayor refused to see him, and the heads of St. Merilo's prominent families were conveniently out of town.He represented the Stoermer family to demand justice, yet he had not even been able to meet anyone, which fueled his growing rage.As the future head of the Stoermer family, everyone in Havenwood treated him with utmost respect.Who would have thought he would be ignored in a small place like St. Merilo?Half a day had passed, and neither the mayor nor the family heads had gone to greet him.Instead, they were in hiding, fueling his embarrassment.Frustrated, Alden decided to go directly to the source of the problem—Matthias.In his mind, Matthias was already a dead man, so it was best to simplify matters.That led to the confrontation at the amusement park."Ungrateful bitch, Gerald wants your daughter's heart. Consider it an honor for you both!"Why won't you just accept your fate? Instead,
Alden's mind went blank, his body trembling with fear.What had he done?He had captured Leona and forced Matthias to kneel!He had even almost slapped Matthias.Realization dawned on Alden.He was doomed, and the Stoermer family was done for. Kurtis was finished!He recalled his experiences in St. Merilo and finally understood why the mayor had avoided him, and the heads of the prominent families had left the city.It was all because of the man before him—Lord Matthias Lowell, Leader of the Unbreakables!With a swift motion, Matthias crushed Alden's throat and tossed him aside.As Alden breathed his last breath, his only thought was that if the Stoermers had known Matthias was the Leader of the Unbreakables, they would have never dared to oppose him.If Matthias wanted them to destroy the Vaughns, they would do it in a heartbeat.Later, Matthias went to Leona and Danielle, finding them still shaken.When they saw Matthias, they rushed to him and hugged him tightly."Matt!
"Percy, don't be rash! This matter isn't as simple as it seemed!" Flynn called out, stopping Percy.Without waiting for questions, Flynn looked at Wilfred and said, "Wilfred, the message was delivered by Eric, the mayor of St. Merilo. He only mentioned Alden's fate but said nothing about Matthias' identity. Something's up!"Either Matthias has an extraordinary background, or he has powerful support. Otherwise, Eric wouldn't have delivered the message."Flynn frowned as he spoke.He had sensed something was off when Eric delivered the message. However, Wilfred and the others were too overwhelmed by Alden's death to notice, so Flynn held his tongue.When he saw that Percy was about to make a rash move, he felt compelled to speak."Uncle Flynn, no matter who Matthias is, I don't believe he dares kill me if I go there myself! I'm the head of the Stoermers, after all!" Percy shouted, frustration evident in his voice.He knew something was off, but with his son dead, he could not see
At the Whitney residence in St. Merilo.The same night Matthias ordered the Shadows to go to New Avalbourne, four of them arrived.They were all women, known by their code names—Magnolia, Orchid, Gardenia, and Aster.Apart from the Shadows' leader, Night, they were the strongest within the Shadows, each possessing Supreme-level combat abilities.Any of them could have established a top-tier organization in the community, but they remained hidden within the Legion of the Unbreakable, serving as its shadow.Furthermore, the Shadows were loyal solely to Matthias, unwavering in their dedication.Those four would be responsible for protecting Leona and Danielle.With their presence, not even a minor threat like Alden or even a leader of a global power could harm them."I'm counting on you!" Matthias said sincerely, addressing the four women in a secret chamber.He was determined to prevent his family from getting hurt again."Lord Matthias, rest assured that we will protect your f
The Stoermer family members watched the spectacular scene before them, their faces flushed with excitement as they clenched their fists tightly.That was the Stoermer family's power!That was their trump card!Once unleashed, it would surely make all of Havenwood bow in submission!Wilfred laughed heartily, striding forward to personally welcome the legend of the Stoermer family, his beloved son, Kurtis."What a wonderful day! Today, the Stoermer family will make every family in Havenwood tremble!"The core members of the Stoermer family followed, their heads held high."Dad, I'm back!" Kurtis quickly descended from the plane, moving toward Wilfred excitedly."Kurtis, you must help our family! We've been bullied by an insignificant fool!" Wilfred spoke with anger and excitement, though mostly with pride.The head of the House of Hurricane was his son!"Dad, now that I'm back in Havenwood, I'll make sure those who have ever crossed the Stoermer family pay for their actions!" K
Kurtis' voice dripped with contempt.To him, no one from the small city of St. Merilo could compare to his experienced warriors, and sending ten men to capture Matthias was already a great honor."That's great! Well done!" Wilfred laughed, and the rest of the Stoermer family looked thrilled.After all, the more relaxed Kurtis seemed, the stronger the Stoermer family's hidden power appeared."We'll leave it to you, Kurtis. Do as you see fit," Wilfred said, his face full of pride.The Stoermer family and their 3,000 warriors made a grand return to the Stoermer mansion, attracting the attention of many elite families along the way.The entire Havenwood was stunned by the display of power.The Stoermer family's trump card was so powerful that no one dared to oppose them.Soon, many of Havenwood's influential families made their way to the Stoermer mansion to pay respects to Kurtis, the leader of the House of Hurricane.Allies took the opportunity to strengthen their ties, while fo
Meanwhile, Matthias and his family were leisurely preparing to move to Havenwood.Leona had no objections to Matthias' suggestion.St. Merilo was filled with painful memories for her and Danielle, and she had long wanted to leave.Matthias decided to share some details about his true identity with Leona.Essentially, he told her that her husband was a very important figure.However, instead of the shocked and amazed reaction Matthias had anticipated, Leona's face showed a hint of skepticism.She brushed him off and replied, "Okay. I got it."It left Matthias feeling somewhat frustrated.He believed anyone who learned his true identity would be utterly stunned.Yet, Leona seemed to think he was lying.Was his status as the Leader of the Unbreakables really that unimpressive?Nevertheless, what mattered was that he had told her the truth and planned to gradually prove it to her.There was no need to keep his identity a secret from his family.Besides, knowing who he was woul
"Exactly! Although Kurtis has become an influential leader, he still cares deeply for New Avalbourne, helping us significantly in the warzone abroad."Havenwood has produced a great hero, and it's only fitting that all the prominent families' heads come to congratulate him," Percy said.That day, the Stoermer family was the star of Havenwood, and Percy felt confident to speak without worrying about how his words might be relayed to officials later.They simply did not care about such matters then.An elder, the head of Havenwood's Graham family and a close ally of the Stoermer family, smiled and said, "Yes, I agree. Kurtis is now a ruler in his own right, but his roots are here in Havenwood."We, your fellow townspeople, are proud of you. How can we possibly let you feel unwelcome since you're a hero?"He was genuinely pleased about the Stoermer family's strength.Many other family heads joined in, offering various compliments.Kurtis smiled, and he could not care less if their
