"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
Stuart's face instantly lit up as he complimented Dalton. He had been worrying about getting an invitation to the Hero's Banquet just days ago. Yet, there he was, face-to-face with the guest of honor.Of course, he could not help but think how much better things would be if the Reilley family had never crossed paths with Matthias.Meanwhile, Matthias stayed close to his family as the Unbreakables gradually arrived in Reirmunt. He had already informed Russell, so the higher-ups in New Avalbourne were not too worried. Even so, Reirmunt's defenses were on high alert.That afternoon, Russell sent him an invitation to the Hero's Banquet.Matthias took the invitation, shaking his head in disbelief. Russell was being overly formal. After all, it was just dinner.In their room, Leona's curiosity was piqued when she heard about the invitation."Mr. Bridges sent you an invitation to the Hero's Banquet? Are you serious?" Leona asked skeptically.In her mind, Russell was an actual big shot.
The following evening, the Imperial Grand Hotel in Reirmunt was a dazzling spectacle of lights and excitement.Hotel staff lined up in two rows, warmly welcoming the arriving guests. Their faces beamed with excitement, especially when they spotted one of the legendary VIPs. Not only that but soldiers also patrolled the streets, keeping curious onlookers at a distance. Only those with invitations were allowed near the hotel.Luxury cars pulled up to the entrance one after another, and elegantly dressed men and women stepped out, their faces beaming with joy.That night, almost every notable figure in Reirmunt was there to attend the Hero's Banquet. As Dalton had imagined, it was his night to shine. All of Reirmunt's elite families had gathered to celebrate him, and he was the star of the show."Look at all those fancy cars! Even the cheapest one must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! All the big shots in Reirmunt are here. What's going on at the Imperial Grand Hotel tonight?"
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
