"Dalton, how's this possible?" Hazel's face turned ashen, her body trembling. She could not believe her idol, her pillar of strength, had fallen.

Even Dalton was in disbelief. Since joining the military, he had never tasted defeat. Yet, he had been beaten by a single kick.

"Warlord? What a joke!" Alpha scoffed. "If Lord Matthias hadn't held me back, I would've crushed you with one punch!"

"This can't be happening! I refuse to believe it!" Dalton roared, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Matthias.

The Hero's Banquet was supposed to be his moment of triumph, but he had become a laughingstock.

"I've buried hundreds of nobodies like you," Matthias said icily.

The crowd held their breath, cold sweat running down their backs. Matthias described a warlord like Dalton as a nobody, even mentioning he had defeated hundreds of them.

When did warlords become so weak?

Most of the onlookers felt like they were dreaming. Young admirers who had idolized Dalton felt their faith crumbling, and

    Delilah's words sparked hope in the previously dejected crowd. They realized they were in Reirmunt, New Avalbourne's capital. Matthias' disrupting the Hero's Banquet and injuring Dalton, the guest of honor, were a direct challenge to the military and the entire nation.No matter how powerful Matthias might be, he could not possibly stand against the military, let alone an entire country. Even the mightiest individual was like a speck of dust before the wrath of a nation.Pierre sneered. "Matthias, you've insulted a New Avalbourne warlord and disrespected our entire military. The million soldiers of New Avalbourne won't tolerate such audacity. Tonight, your strength means nothing. You'll die all the same!"Others joined in, laughing as they shouted one after another."That's right! A loser is still a loser. So what if you're strong? You can't escape your fate!""Call for the military patrol! Let them deal with Matthias, an obvious criminal!"Dalton stood up, his face dark with rag

    The crowd eagerly piled on, exaggerating Matthias' alleged misdeeds. They were certain Russell was on their side, given that he had proposed this banquet in the first place."Enough! Silence! All of you!" Russell's unexpected outburst stunned the room into silence.Then, his gaze swept over Dalton and the others, his voice seething with anger as he said, "How dare you! Mr. Lowell is my honored guest and the most esteemed visitor to New Avalbourne."You, the so-called elite of our city, not only failed to host Mr. Lowell properly but dared to accuse him of wrongdoing? You've ruined his evening. You should be ashamed!"Russell's words hit like a thunderbolt, leaving Dalton and the others frozen in shock. They could not believe their ears when Russell said Matthias was his guest, and he even addressed Matthias so respectfully. Not only that but apparently, he was also New Avalbourne's most honored visitor.Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They had assumed Matthias was a nobody from

    While Dalton wrestled with his pride and the Reilley family trembled with fear and regret, the Lowell family seethed with anger. As leaders of one of New Avalbourne's top three families, Pierre and his grandson Blake found the order to kneel before Matthias utterly unacceptable."Mr. Bridges!" Pierre shouted, his jaw clenched. "We're one of New Avalbourne's elite families. Even if we've made a mistake, we won't kneel to someone who threatens to destroy us!"Russell's face darkened. "How dare you! Do my words carry no weight? Or are you questioning me, the first commander of our military?"The Lowell family paled, whereas Pierre felt a sense of foreboding. He was surprised that his slight show of defiance had provoked such a reaction from Russell.Just who was Matthias to command such respect?"Kneel and apologize! I won't repeat myself!" Russell growled.The Reilley family, led by Stuart, reluctantly knelt before Matthias."We acknowledge our wrongdoing, and we beg for your forg

    The sight of Reirmunt's most powerful families—the Lowells, Ramsays, and Reilleys—along with Dalton, a warlord, all kneeling before Matthias was utterly surreal.Their earlier arrogance had utterly transformed into humiliation.Soon, the crowd buzzed with speculation about Matthias' real identity. However, what happened next left them even more shocked.Russell strode over to Matthias and bowed deeply. "Mr. Lowell, I sincerely apologize for tonight's poor arrangements and the distress caused to you and your family!"The room instantly fell silent, everyone stunned by this scene. After all, Russell was one of New Avalbourne's most influential figures, yet he had apologized to Matthias.Whispers rippled through the crowd as they could not wrap their mind around the matter."Even Mr. Bridges is bowing and apologizing to him? Who on earth is this Matthias? How have we never heard about him before?""It's unbelievable. The city's top families are kneeling, and Mr. Bridges is apologiz

    "Mr. Bridges, if you hadn't shown up, I might have thought this was all an elaborate act to embarrass Lord Matthias!" Alpha scoffed from the sidelines.As Matthias' right-hand man, he had been itching to intervene and would have done so if Matthias had not restrained him.Russell forced a smile. "Mr. A, you're such a funny man. Why would I do such a thing? What good would that do for me or New Avalbourne?"Inwardly, he was relieved that Matthias had only brought Alpha. If the other Legion of the Unbreakable commanders had been present, all of Reirmunt might have been in chaos.Alpha snorted. "I'm not joking. Mr. Bridges, before you arrived, these people were unbearably arrogant." Then, he scoffed and continued, "When we entered with our invitations, some lowlifes claimed they were stolen and that we had no right to be here."The Reilley family broke into a cold sweat, realizing Alpha's words were directed at them."We acknowledge our grave error! We were ignorant and foolish. We'

    "Mr. Lowell, what should we do with these people?" Russell quickly asked as Matthias prepared to leave.Matthias turned back, a slight smile on his face. "You've already pleaded for them. Let's consider this matter closed for tonight."As Matthias left, the crowd exchanged confused glances, wondering when Russell had pleaded for Dalton and the others. After all, he just made them kneel and apologize.Only Russell and Brock understood the truth. They would likely all be dead if Matthias had been allowed to deal with Dalton's group. Russell's actions, while appearing to punish them, were meant to protect them.Russell sighed inwardly, unsure if he had made the right choice. However, with so many witnesses present, and considering Dalton's position and the Lowell family's status, their deaths would have caused a major uproar. Hence, that was the best Russell could do.As for the feud between the Lowells and Matthias, that was beyond even his ability to intervene. It would depend on w

    Stuart froze as he heard the words from his family member. A flicker of interest crossed his face, followed by a hint of fear. After all, the Reilley family's actions had deeply offended Matthias, and the fact that Matthias had not pursued the matter further was already a stroke of luck.Seeing Stuart's interest, the speaker quickly continued to say, "Leona is part of the Reilley family, and we're blood-related, after all. Besides, considering how far we went before, someone of Matthias' status could've punished us much more severely if he wanted to."The fact that he didn't means he still values Leona's connection to our family. If we apologize sincerely, we might be able to smooth things over with Matthias."The Reilley family members exchanged hopeful glances. They thought it might have been why Matthias had let them off so easily."Grandpa, this could work. The Reilley family is still fairly powerful. If we pledge our loyalty to Matthias, I doubt he'll turn down such a valuable

    However, during his investigation of Matthias, Carlile also uncovered some additional information—Matthias had first appeared in St. Merilo, where the Whitney family, who had Leona and Danielle under their care, had treated them terribly. At the same time, the Vaughn family was trying to harvest Danielle's heart.Unexpectedly, the next day after Matthias showed up, the Whitney and Vaughn families were wiped out.Initially, Carlile did not care much about the destruction of minor families like the Whitneys and Vaughns, considering them insignificant beings. However, the Stoermer family in Havenwood had also been mysteriously eliminated after that, with not even a whisper from the Havenwood authorities.Carlile had initially brushed off that information, but he suddenly had a moment of clarity after the event at the Hero's Banquet.A bold theory formed in his mind—what if Matthias had been behind the destruction of those families?After all, the common thread between all three famil

    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.

    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
