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
Not only that, but Dalton had also failed to arrive at the crucial moment. Their combined forces had crumbled effortlessly before Matthias and his small group of ten.That failure resulted in Demetrius's death and every member of the Reilley family having one of their hands broken."Pierre, esteemed family heads, please, you must avenge the Reilley family!" Stuart pleaded, his face pale and filled with grief and anger.As Stuart spoke, the other family heads exchanged uncomfortable glances. After all, they had decided to use the Reilley family as bait to draw Matthias out."Stuart, rest assured. The Lowell family will seek justice for the Reilley family's humiliation. This time, I'll summon the Crimson Titans. We'll have at least three warlords."When the time comes, no matter how powerful Matthias' backing might be, death will be his only outcome!" Pierre declared icily, his eyes burning with murderous intent."The Crimson Titans!" The room fell silent as everyone absorbed that
Dalton stared at Delilah, his eyes gleaming with mockery."What do we want from you, Mr. Archer? Don't you think you owe us an apology? If you had arrived at the Reilley family's place on time, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Delilah demanded, and her eyes were red as she glared at him."Delilah, shut your mouth! Mr. Archer has already explained himself. This was not his fault—it was just Matthias' dumb luck," Stuart snapped.He could not believe how thoughtless Delilah was being.Did she not realize that she was speaking to Dalton, a New Avalbourne military warlord?They should be grateful he even offered an explanation."Why should I? If he had shown up, would we be in this state? Would I be crippled?" Delilah shouted, sounding almost hysterical.The other family heads in the room could not help but frown at her outburst.Dalton let out a cold laugh. "Who do you think you are? Last night's operation was mine to decide. You're nothing. Do you think you deserve an apology from me
