"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

    The woman, it turned out, was a college classmate of Ezekiel's.When Nolan attempted to take her, Ezekiel intervened, leading to a physical fight where Nolan ended up in the hospital.Wilfred was furious and demanded an apology from the Harringtons.However, the Harringtons believed Ezekiel had done the right thing and refused to appease the Stoermers' anger.As a result, the Harringtons faced significant hardships imposed by the Stoermers.Three years had passed, but it seemed the Stoermers had not forgotten.After Phineas and Ezekiel spoke up, others in the hall followed suit."I'm Ralph Bowie, head of the Bowie family, and I also apologize to the Stoermers!""The Spark family seeks forgiveness from the Stoermers."Representatives from nine families had eagerly stepped forward to apologize to the Stoermers.Their attitudes were humble, each one slightly bowing in respect.The hall fell silent as everyone looked up at Kurtis on the throne.He seemed indifferent, and his ey

    Kurtis' expression gradually softened when he saw someone knelt.However, when the Harringtons did not move, his eyes grew colder."What's this? There are still a few families not kneeling before me. Do you want to test the strength of my 3,000 soldiers?"The hall remained silent, and the members of the Stoermer family looked down arrogantly at those confessing.It was clear that no one in Havenwood would dare challenge the Stoermers after that incident.Kurtis was their ultimate source of force!Most onlookers kept their distance, unconcerned about the situation since it was not affecting them directly. However, some kind-hearted ones still felt pity for the Harringtons.Even so, that was all they could do.The Stoermers' power was overwhelming, and the Harringtons had no choice but to submit!The Harringtons and the other families were filled with anger and resentment.Kurtis had forced them to go to such extremes over minor disputes!Kneeling and surrendering half their a

    As for whether Matthias had killed his men, Kurtis did not care.Even if Matthias had killed them, so what?Kurtis had 3,000 warriors! Matthias was no match for him.Furthermore, Kurtis was already a Baron-level warrior, and he was powerful.He had every reason to be confident!"Regardless, waiting for Matthias to come to us might make the Stoermer family look weak!"Kurtis' tone shifted, a fierce glint in his eye. Then, he shouted toward the hall's entrance."Order 100 men to capture Matthias and bring him to me! If he escapes, kill everyone associated with him!""Yes, Lord Kurtis!" came the immediate response from outside the hall.Everyone inside was terrified.Kurtis, the head of the House of Hurricane, was decisive and forceful, leaving everyone in awe.The loss of the ten men did not diminish their fear of Kurtis, as ten men were nothing compared to his 3,000.Kurtis' anger flared when he saw Phineas and Ezekiel still standing.He shouted, "Why aren't you kneeling ye

    Kurtis could no longer suppress his anger.His face twisted with rage as he glared at the messenger and yelled, "Are you all useless?We're surrounded, yet you don't know what to do without my orders?"Go! Kill those who have surrounded the Stoermer mansion!"When did the House of Hurricane become so cowardly?"The House of Hurricane commander in the hall looked distressed.Hesitantly, he said, "My lord, the people surrounding us are stronger than our warriors. We sent out 100 men, but only 20 of our opponents killed them all. They have over 500 men!""What?" Kurtis was incredulous. "Twenty of them killed a hundred of our men? Are you joking?"Everyone in the hall was shocked.Those 100 General-level warriors had been killed by 20 of their attackers, with over 500 more at the base of the mountain!If all 500 were equally strong, then the House of Hurricane would not stand a chance, not even with their 3,000 General-level warriors.Those 500 elites must be stronger than their G

    At the base of the mountain, Matthias had arrived leisurely.He and Leona had just thoroughly cleaned their new home before he headed toward the Stoermer mansion.Destroying the Stoermer family was a trivial task. He would not have bothered going there personally if not for his immense anger toward them.After all, a few of his men could have wiped them out.Alpha stood behind Matthias with a glint of excitement in his eyes.He was eager to unleash his fury.The path leading up the mountain was littered with a hundred corpses, and further up, the House of Hurricane's forces formed a dark mass.Yet, they remained still, all eyes on the mountain's base.Matthias frowned and said nonchalantly, "Why are there still so many pests? Go! Eliminate them all!""Yes, my lord!" Alpha shouted, his fighting spirit soaring.The Matthias he remembered was back!"Legion of the Unbreakable, charge! Leave no one from the House of Hurricane alive!" Alpha roared, charging forward with a swarm of

    Kurtis shouted. He thought it was an ambush set up to kill him.He believed someone wanted to eliminate him and had lured him to Havenwood for that purpose, knowing he spent most of his time at House of Hurricane headquarters.Suddenly, the doors to the Stoermer mansion were kicked open.Matthias appeared, with Alpha behind him, covered in blood."It's you!" Kurtis was in disbelief.Matthias!It was Matthias!Everyone in the hall was shocked.It was indeed Matthias!He had brought those men with him!Kurtis gritted his teeth.The Stoermer family had already informed him about Matthias' identity—he was just a useless guy who had married into the Whitney family.How could he have such a terrifying force?"Matthias! Who are you really? Show me the real person who's backing you!" Kurtis shouted, refusing to believe Matthias was in charge."How dare you! Kurtis, do you have a death wish? A mere head of House of Hurricane, and you dare disrespect Lord Matthias?" Alpha roared, h

    Wilfred glared at Matthias.He did not believe Matthias would dare to eliminate the entire Stoermer family.With deep-rooted connections throughout Havenwood, the Stoermers had ties that reached high places. If they were destroyed, many parties' interests would be affected.Just because they could kill the Stoermers did not mean they should. After all, not everyone could handle the consequences."The Stoermer family is involved in businesses that support countless people, and our network of allied forces and families is extensive! "Politically, we're also the governor's esteemed guests, and our connections reach all the way to the top, involving many significant figures."Should the Stoermer family fall, who would absorb the losses incurred by these influential people? Can you take on that burden, Matthias?"The other noble families of Havenwood present had similar thoughts.The Stoermer family was no small clan like the Vaughns of St. Merilo; they were a symbol of the elite a

    Was Alpha actually right?Were the 3,000 warriors utterly powerless against Matthias' men?The Stoermers' faces showed subtle changes.Those with weaker nerves turned pale while the core family figures struggled to maintain their composure, hiding any sign of fear.Kurtis silently approached Wilfred from behind, his expression dark and menacing.He was overwhelmed with rage as the House of Hurricane had been wiped out, ten years of effort reduced to nothing in a single night."Matthias, if you have the guts, let's fight! If you don't, even with your men surrounding the Stoermer mansion, I can escape anytime."If you don't want a warlord constantly breathing down your neck, then fight me!"Kurtis revealed his entire aura with a thunderous roar, unleashing an unprecedented pressure that made everyone shiver.When they saw Kurtis in that state, the Stoermer family members seemed to regain some confidence, and they looked at Kurtis with a burning gaze."You want to challenge Lord

    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
