"Young man, it's disrespectful to interrupt others' conversation. Are you so eager to die?" Bruno's voice was icy, his face showing apparent displeasure."Matthias, kneel and confess your wrongdoings! Do you know the true strength of my two masters?"Your men are nothing but weaklings compared to them!" Kurtis shouted, his gaze cold and menacing, ready to strike any moment."How ridiculous!" Alpha roared.His eyes were bloodshot as he turned to Matthias, desperately pleading, "Lord Matthias, give the order! Let me take one swing! Just one punch! I'll knock out all three of them with a single hit!"These losers have disrespected you, and I can no longer tolerate it!"Bruno, Jack, and Kurtis scowled at his words.The arrogance of claiming to knock them out with a single punch was outrageous."Young man, aren't you a little eager to be buried six feet under? Well, let me grant your wish!" Bruno's tone was cold, and in his eyes, Alpha was already a dead man.Jack looked at Alpha d
"Your turn, you old fart!" Alpha yelled as he charged at Bruno.Bruno's face instantly paled.He stumbled backward, desperately pleading, "Spare me! Please! I failed to recognize the greatness before me. Please don't kill—"Before Bruno could finish his plea, Alpha's punch had already landed on him.Just like that, Bruno was dead.The members of the Stoermer family went pale while the leaders of the other prominent families were drenched in cold sweat.They had never imagined that the Stoermer family's greatest trump cards, Bruno and Jack, could be so easily eliminated by Alpha!At the same time, Matthias was gripping Kurtis by the throat.Kurtis felt nothing but fear.Barely a minute had passed from Alpha's initial strike to the death of his two masters.In that short time, two Duke-level warriors had been wiped out!Furthermore, he was utterly powerless against Matthias!A mere nobody?A weakling?He could not fathom how Matthias, who had such formidable power, had rema
"Matthias, no, Mr. Lowell, we were wrong!! We'll do anything as long as you spare our family!"Wilfred sounded submissive and sincere as he continued to say, "The Stoermer family has businesses across the nation, supporting hundreds of thousands of lives and contributing to the well-being of millions."If we were destroyed, the resulting impact would be unimaginable. Ordinary people would suffer, and high-ranking officials in New Avalbourne would surely notice."Mr. Lowell, wiping out an entire family over a minor issue would be unreasonable. Besides, you'll have to face the wrath of the New Avalbourne's leaders. It's simply unwise!"Matthias snickered when he heard Wilfred's plea.Was he trying to use political leverage to threaten him?Guilt-tripping him by using the lives of the commoners?"Is this how you apologize? Old man, do you really think I care about any of this?"If I decide to destroy you, no one will dare to object!"Now that you've lost your force, you're trying
Brock's lips twitched as he ignored the pleading Stoermer family members and approached Matthias with a respectful tone."Greetings, Mr. Lowell!"Silence instantly filled the room.It was so quiet that they could hear the sound of a pin dropping in that tense atmosphere.Everyone present was stunned.The leaders of Havenwood's top families were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.The Stoermers were in shock, their minds blank.What did they just witness?Brock had addressed Matthias formally, and his tone was exceedingly humble!Wilfred was so overwhelmed that he passed out.Who was Matthias, and what kind of power had they truly provoked?"Is there a problem? Are you here to protect the Stoermer family?" Matthias asked, not even bothered to look at Brock"No, no! Mr. Lowell, you misunderstood. The Stoermer family deserves to be destroyed. If you wish to eliminate them, that's only right. The governor's office has no objections whatsoever!" Brock hurriedly explained,
Just like that, the Stoermer family was wiped out!They were a formidable force in Havenwood for the past millennia, with their influence and connections extending throughout the region.Yet, they vanished without a trace overnight.When the sun rose the next day, the ordinary people of Havenwood remained unaware that such a powerful family had disappeared.After all, the average person was busy with their daily struggles, and the elite families were far from reach. Many would never even come into contact with the children of such families.However, some employees arriving at their workplaces noticed a sudden change—new faces occupied high-ranking positions previously held by the Stoermers.Naturally, the other prominent families in Havenwood, aware of the Stoermers' downfall, chose to remain silent, pretending nothing had happened.They were too fearful to discuss it openly.After Matthias left the Stoermer mansion, Brock stayed behind to handle the aftermath.He had instruct
Leona did not want Danielle to be raised as a pampered socialite.She wanted Danielle to live without worry.Matthew keenly noticed they were about to argue over that, and he quickly bit his tongue, holding back his suggestion for a daily convoy to take Danielle to school.With his suggestions dismissed, Matthias played with Danielle, and the two were having a blast.Suddenly, the loud sound of a stack of enrollment brochures hitting the table interrupted their fun.Leona glared at the father and daughter with a cold expression.While she was busy selecting the most suitable kindergartens and barely had time to pause, the two spent their time playing.Danielle was still a child, so it was understandable.However, Matthias was a grown man!Was he that frivolous?"Matthias, are you really taking Dani's schooling so lightly? What if we choose the wrong school, and Dani ends up unhappy? Who will be responsible then?"Leona's frustration grew as she glared at Matthias.Matthias
Caleb Hewitt was another typical wealthy heir.Throughout college, he had a new woman on his arm every other week and was known as a notorious playboy in Grandview University's finance department.Just three years out of college, Caleb already held a high position in the family business.However, he had never shed his old habits. Over the years, he had used his family's influence to pursue many women, but there was one he had never been able to find—Leona.He thought he would never see her again, but fate had other plans.Caleb was stunned to run into Leona, but his heart ached when he saw her with a man and a young girl.It was as if something that once belonged to him was snatched away.His smile remained, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes.He could not believe Leona was married, even had someone else's child!He obsessively believed Leona's first time should be his and his only!Suddenly, a twisted thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes lit up.Caleb decided that a
With that in mind, Caleb's smile grew even brighter."No need for that, Caleb. Let's catch up another time," Leona said impatiently.She had no desire to continue the conversation with him."And by the way, we weren't close in college, so please mind your boundaries. I'm a married woman, after all," she said.Caleb's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered.He glanced at Matthias and spoke with disdain, "Oh, come on, Leona. We were college classmates. Your husband wouldn't mind, right? Surely, a grown man wouldn't be so petty?"Caleb turned his gaze back to Matthias.Though he maintained a friendly demeanor, his gaze held a subtle threat.Caleb thought a man who could not afford a car was not worth much respect. He had even dealt with women whose husbands had sold out, and he suspected that intimidating Matthias might get him to cooperate.Matthias met Caleb's gaze and smiled."Oh, I do mind, and I'm quite petty. So, please mind your boundaries."Caleb was stunned.
