That night, the leaders of every major power and top-tier organization across the globe stayed awake, their hearts pounding as they watched the Legion of the Unbreakable's movement.

After all, Matthias suddenly left the battlefield with a murderous aura and mobilized the entire might of the Legion of the Unbreakable, his objective unknown!

Everyone was on edge.

The Legion of the Unbreakable's power was terrifying, so terrifying that it struck fear into everyone's hearts.

Only then did they realize the Legion of the Unbreakable had used just a fraction of their strength in their battle against the Night Force for the title of world's strongest!

What was Matthias planning?

Why were all of the Legion of the Unbreakable's forces in motion?

Who had provoked his wrath?

"Get to the bottom of this! Reach out to all our global informants and figure out what Lord Matthias is up to. Also, contact our allies within the Legion of the Unbreakable and ask what his intentions are."

…

"Sir, we're approaching New Avalbourne's airspace. Should we request permission to enter?"

Matthias frowned. "Of course. Inform them that I'm here to handle a personal matter."

"Yes, sir!"

At that moment, the headquarters of New Avalbourne were in a state of alarm.

They had just received the Legion of the Unbreakable's request to enter their airspace.

"What's going on? Can anyone tell me why the Legion of the Unbreakable is suddenly heading to our country?" Russell Bridges, the first commander of New Avalbourne's military, asked.

"Commander Bridges, we've detected the Legion of the Unbreakable's fleet, and they've sent an urgent message requesting entry," a pale-faced officer reported.

"What?" Russell was stunned but quickly stood up, glaring at the officer.

"Don't intercept them! Don't fire! Send a team to negotiate and find out their intentions!"

The Legion of the Unbreakable and New Avalbourne had always been allies, cooperating numerous times.

Moreover, Russell had even met Matthias; he was not someone to act irrationally.

Hence, that only fueled Russell's confusion.

What was all of that about?

"Commander Bridges, we have an urgent call from the Havenwood District. A Legion of the Unbreakable aircraft has landed in St. Merilo in Havenwood! They haven't shown any signs of hostility. Should we expel their forces?"

Russell stood up abruptly, looking at the reporting officer with urgency.

"St. Merilo, the small suburban area? Has Lord Matthias arrived as well?"

"Commander Bridges, the Legion of the Unbreakable has sealed off an area within a 500-kilometer radius. We're not sure if Lord Matthias himself has arrived," the officer replied, looking uneasy.

Russell's expression was complicated as he rubbed his forehead.

What was Matthias planning?

He descended upon St. Merilo with no signs of aggression, yet the entire Legion of the Unbreakable was gathered in New Avalbourne.

What was happening?

"Commander Bridges, should we expel them?" The officer hesitated to repeat the emergency request from the Havenwood District.

"Expel them? Is Brock out of his mind? Does he think his army can stand a chance against the Legion of the Unbreakable? Even if Brock threw everything at them, it would barely be a scratch!" Russell shouted.

Since the Legion of the Unbreakable was not looking for a fight, Russell thought it was best not to provoke them.

Did those idiots not think things through before asking him questions?

"Tell Brock to meet with them. Be respectful and find out what Lord Matthias wants. No, prepare the jet. I'll go myself!" Russell declared, rising to leave.

With the Legion of the Unbreakable causing such a commotion, he needed to discover firsthand what was happening.

Otherwise, the entire nation would be like a cat on hot bricks, consumed by anxiety!

It was freezing that night.

In Havenwood's St. Merilo, at the Whitney residence.

Leona's beautiful face was streaked with tears as she curled up in a small, dark basement room, trembling and sobbing.

What could she do?

She had no options left, so she called the number Matthias had left her.

However, she knew it was all wishful thinking.

After all, if Matthias were an unrivaled force globally, why would he willingly be the Whitney family's son-in-law?

Not only that, but he also endured two years of humiliation and her coldness!

Leona bitterly smiled, mocking herself for being so desperate that she had no other choice but to cling to that coward's promise.

Even so, she hoped his words were true.

Only then could Danielle be saved!

Suddenly, the iron door slammed open.

Leona looked up, quickly crawling on her knees toward the person.

"Jermaine, please, I beg you to save Dani. She's your niece! I know I'm in the wrong. If you save Dani, I'll obey the Whitney family and never resist your order!"

"Get away from me, you worthless bitch" Jermaine kicked Leona aside, his eyes filled with disdain.

"That bastard child is no niece of mine! Leona, don't forget your place. You're just a stray we took in. We're not related by blood; you're not one of us. You took advantage of Grandpa's affection for you and married that useless man.

"Do you know how much shame you brought to our family? Luckily, that loser was sensible and left in the end!

"Grandma wanted to sell you off for our family's benefits, but you went and had that bastard child. You're a disgrace!"

As if his words were not cruel enough, Jermaine spat at her, his voice dripping with contempt.

"Ugh! You're such a disgusting bitch!"

Leona curled in the corner, sobbing and muttering to herself, "Dani is not a bastard child... Dani is not a bastard child..."

Jermaine was irritated by the sight of her, and he tossed her a blanket.

"'Don't freeze to death! You should be thankful that your bastard child's heart perfectly matches Mr. Vaughn. Otherwise, you think we would've let you raise her? If her heart weren't ideal for Mr. Vaughn's body, she'd be dead by now!

"'For the next few days, behave yourself. Mr. Vaughn is allowing you to be his mistress once he's recovered since you're sacrificing your daughter. That's an honor for you! It's your chance to repay the Whitney family!"

Brock, how do you manage the families in your jurisdiction? You're a disgrace! Look at what these people have done under your watch!"' Russell shouted, his voice filled with rage."They imprisoned Lord Matthias' wife and even planned to take his daughter's heart. This inhuman bunch is under your watch!

Who are you? Do you have a death wish?"In St. Merilo, the Vaughn family held the highest authority.Everyone was aware of Gerald's surgery scheduled for that night, and even those who usually opposed the Vaughn family kept their distance.No one in their right mind would dare to cause trouble at the hospital on such an important night.Yet, a convoy and a man had stormed the hospital entrance.It was a blatant disregard for the Vaughn family's power!However, Matthias could not care less about the guards.His heart was set on rescuing his daughter."How dare you!

    As the hall filled with requests for battle, Matthias waved his hand slightly.Instantly, silence fell over the room.Outside, Russell focused intently, awaiting Matthias' command.Matthias looked at everyone in the hall and let out a self-deprecating smile."I'm known to the world as the Leader of the Unbreakables, a warrior who has fought countless battles."My name strikes fear into the hearts of all forces."Three years ago, I left Leona behind to lead the Unbreakables against formidable enemies.

    "You're quite powerful, yet you're pretending to be a mere guard. Are you trying to intimidate me?" River questioned.He believed the person he was up against must be a hidden master, pretending to be a simple guard just to intimidate the Vaughn family.Such tricks were nothing new to him, and he was not easily intimidated.The four guards were merely regular members of the Legion of the Unbreakable, and they exchanged disdainful glances at River before turning back to their posts without saying a word.To them, River's assumptions were laughable.They were the lowest-ranking members of the Legion, stationed at the gate as a routine duty.Nonetheless, it was no surprise that River would think so.His misunderstanding proved how powerful the Legion of the Unbreakable was—so overwhelming that people like him could not even fathom it.When no one responded to him, River's anger flared.His voice was filled with frustration and fury as he shouted, "Who sent you?

    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
