As Alpha effortlessly took down all the guards, William's face turned red with anger."How dare you resist! You're challenging the war department!" William shouted.Stuart's expression was grim, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. "Matthias, you've gone too far! The Hero's Banquet is hosted by the military. The Imperial Grand Hotel represents them. Aren't you afraid of the consequences?"However, what happened next stunned everyone present.Alpha grabbed William by the throat, lifting him off the ground."P—Put me down this instant! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" William roared, disbelief written all over his face at being humiliated in his own territory.The Reilley family started shouting criticisms, amazed at the audacity of Matthias' group. Even though they knew it was a military event, they still dared to act that way.The Reilleys shouted, "Matthias, tell your man to stop! You can't act like this here!"Matthias turned to them, his eyes cold as ice. "I don't kn
"Shut up, you ignorant fool!" Brock snapped at William, shooting him a fierce glare. Then, he hurried to Matthias' side and bowed deeply, his face pale. "Mr. Lowell, I'm terribly sorry. I never imagined this to happen!"William's mind went blank as he witnessed that scene. His body began to tremble, and he broke out in cold sweat.It was unbelievable that the honorable Brock was speaking so respectfully and bowing in apology. William realized he was doomed for tearing up Matthias' invitation and ordering the security to capture them.Suddenly, everything became clear to William—the torn invitation was genuine, personally written by Russell himself!"Sir, I deserve to be punished with death for my ignorance! I didn't recognize your importance!" William cried out, his voice trembling."Silence, you fool! You're not worthy to apologize to him," Brock scolded. He wished he could smack William there and then.He turned to Matthias, his tone respectful but nervous. "Mr. Lowell, I deepl
In the banquet hall, news of Matthias' arrival spread quickly, causing a stir among the guests. Many were surprised, then delighted. They had been searching for him throughout Reirmunt, and he had walked right through their door."Let's go see Matthias get arrested by the military!" Pierre laughed, leading the group toward the hotel entrance. "I can't believe he's so bold, daring to come here when he knows we're attending the Hero's Banquet."They had only taken a few steps when Matthias and his group entered the hall and met with Pierre's party.The smiles on their faces instantly froze."Matthias, you fool! Who permitted you to enter? Get out now!" Stuart barked, his face darkening with anger.All eyes in the hall turned to watch the confrontation unfold."You didn't hurt the hotel manager to force your way in, did you?" Delilah sneered, her eyes full of hatred. She then shouted to the hotel staff nearby, "Call security! Have these people arrested!"However, the hotel staff, c
William's attempt to defuse the situation backfired."Who do you think you are? This doesn't concern you. Get lost!" Pierre dismissed William with a disdainful glance.Blake said with a sneer, "Aren't you the hotel manager? What? You think you're important enough for the Lowell family to listen to you?"William's head buzzed, and he quickly tried to explain, "Sir Lowell, Mr. Blake, please don't misunderstand. The military entrusted us with this event. If anything goes wrong, we'll face their wrath."Besides, this gentleman is also a guest tonight. He's under our hotel's protection, and we can't allow any harm to come to him.""He's a guest? Are you kidding me? Didn't you say his invitation was fake?" Delilah exclaimed in disbelief.The Lowell family members looked equally unhappy.William, sweating profusely, said, "I made a mistake earlier. This gentleman is indeed a guest tonight, invited by the War Department."That revelation caused uneasiness among the crowd. They wondered
Seeing the disbelief on Leona and Nadine's faces, Matthias shrugged and gently guided Leona to her seat.He sat down with Danielle in his arms and said softly, "Don't worry. These seats are reserved for us. Don't you trust me?""I trust you!" Leona replied, though her face was still filled with curiosity and confusion.Not far from them, Pierre and his group noticed Matthias sitting at table one. Their faces darkened as they hurled insults and mockery."How dare you! Matthias, what gives you the right to sit there?""These seats reserved for you? Matthias, you sure know how to spin a lie!"Pierre mocked, "The Lowell family is among New Avalbourne's top three. We're honored to be seated at table three by Mr. Bridges. You're nothing but trash, Matthias. What right do you have to sit at table one? Get up and leave before we make you!"Stuart joined in with a vicious tone. "Matthias, get up and scram! Find a corner in the back and wait quietly for your death after the banquet!"Del
"Dad, my hand! My hand!" Carlile cried, his face pale and tears streaming down his face. With both hands useless, he had become a cripple."Matthias! You've gone too far! This is the Hero's Banquet! How dare you resort to violence?" Stuart glared at Matthias, his eyes filled with hatred."Get lost! If you dare show your face again, I'll cripple every member of the Reilley family!" Matthias warned him coldly.Stuart was about to continue his tirade but fell silent at those words.That commotion lasted only a few moments, but it was enough for the Lowell and Ramsay families to spring into action. They all stood up at once and rushed toward Matthias."Matthias, you're too outrageous. You don't deserve to attend the Hero's Banquet, let alone sit here," Pierre said coldly, approaching Matthias with his cane."You dare to injure someone at the Hero's Banquet, disregarding the military's rules. Now, we're going to kill you, and I want to see who has a problem with that.""We were going
As the woman's voice broke the tense atmosphere, everyone turned to look, curious and annoyed at the one who dared scold them. However, their frowns quickly turned to smiles when they saw the newcomer.A young woman in her mid-20s approached them, wearing subtle makeup and an elegant purple and gold dress that exuded understated grace. Her presence alone hinted at her importance.Nadine's face paled as she hurried to Matthias and whispered, "We need to leave. That's Hazel Garcia, Dalton's wife!"Before she could finish, Pierre's laughter rang out. "Mrs. Archer! The banquet hasn't started yet. What brings you here so early?"Hazel recognized Pierre and greeted him with a smile. Despite her initial haughty entrance, she knew which families deserved respect. Even with Dalton's status in Reirmunt, there were those they needed to have a good rapport with."Sir Lowell, why aren't you seated yet? I couldn't see clearly through the crowd earlier, and my words were rather rude. But they we
"I was just going to let Dalton deal with you after we broke your legs. I didn't want to get involved, being a delicate woman and all. But you've forced my hand with your disrespect, and you'll pay the price!"I hear you have an invitation to tonight's event. Well, I'll find out who was foolish enough to give one to you. Everyone associated with you will face consequences for your stupidity!"Hazel's arrogance knew no bounds. As Dalton's wife, she believed she could punish anyone who dared question or disrespect her.One of Hazel's four bodyguards chuckled menacingly. "You heard Mrs. Archer. On your knees!"Without warning, he aimed a vicious kick at Matthias as his other companions also sprang into action—one targeting Alpha while the other two went for Leona and Nadine. It was clear that they aimed to cripple Matthias and his family in one swift strike.Matthias was instantly enraged, and a terrifying aura emanated from him as he faced the oncoming attacker."You're asking for
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
