Caleb trembled at Matthias' words, pressing his forehead against the ground, too scared to respond."Earlier, Caleb threatened Leona. When Kieran tried to intervene, Caleb flew into a rage and demanded that he kneel and apologize," Madeleine replied, glaring at Caleb and Blair."Caleb also claimed that his family has business dealings with the Harrington family and that he knows Ezekiel personally. He said no one would dare to intervene no matter what happened today!"Madeleine's disclosure sent chills down Caleb's spine while Phineas and Ezekiel behind Matthias broke out in a cold sweat."Mr. Lowell, it's our fault for associating ourselves with such a lowly person. Henceforth, the Harrington family will sever all business ties with the Hewitt family!" Phineas declared."Mr. Lowell, many people know me, but I don't recall knowing someone as insignificant as Ezekiel, and we've never been friends. Furthermore, no matter who it is, I absolutely will not allow such unruly behavior on
Leona responded to everyone without a hint of arrogance.Meanwhile, Caleb and Blair remained on their knees, shaking.Matthias sat in his seat, observing the two.He would have easily dealt with them in the past, but due to his concern for Leona's feelings, he chose to let them live—for the time being."Victor, take care of those two. As long as you don't kill them, feel free to do whatever you want. The worse, the better," Matthias instructed Victor."Yes, my lord!" Victor responded immediately.With no outsiders around, he dared not address Matthias as Mr. Lowell; even if Matthias did not mind, Victor would not take the risk!"No! Don't! Matthias, you can't do this to me! I'm Leona's close friend; we were close in college. I was just playing a joke tonight!" Blair cried out desperately.Matthias ignored Blair's pleas, his gaze remaining icy.Blair's face grew even paler.However, her eyes lit up when she noticed Kyle at the back of the group.She shouted, "Mr. Willcox, you
Blair gritted her teeth, deeply shaken by Matthias' words.She had worked hard over the past three years to become a successful career woman, only to be overshadowed by Leona, who had simply married well.Blair felt horrible, and her thoughts were consumed more by her envy of Leona's fortune than by worrying about her own situation."I can't accept this! This is unfair!" Blair screamed like a madwoman as she struggled to accept the truth.Victor delivered a harsh slap, sending Blair crashing to the ground and her face instantly swelling."Who do you think you are to compare yourself with Mrs. Lowell? You're thinking too highly of yourself!" Victor said coldly.Meanwhile, Caleb, who was kneeling beside Blair, trembled in fear."I'll make sure your life is a living hell for crossing Mrs. Lowell!" Victor said.Soon, Leona and her group arrived at The Ivory's Private Palates.Everyone was stunned by the luxurious setting, and many women began taking photos with their phones.Most
Kieran laughed upon hearing the remark.He glanced at the woman and said, "I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I just got off the phone. Someone has redeemed my company's shares from Caleb. "What's more, they've invested 15 million dollars in my company to take over the business dealings that the Hewitt family previously had with the Harrington family."His announcement left everyone around him stunned, especially the woman who had just argued with him."Oh? What a coincidence! I just got a call from my mom, too. Someone's investing 7.5 million dollars in our small family restaurant to expand it into a five-star hotel as a thank you." Initially reluctant to share, Madeleine spoke up because she could not stand the hypocritical behavior of some of her classmates.The crowd instantly fell into silence.The amounts mentioned—15 million and 7.5 million dollars—were beyond their wildest dreams.Kieran and Madeleine were rewarded handsomely for defending Leona, and their lives were
Leona noticed Matthias' grim expression as he stood there, seemingly lost in thoughts after the call.She asked, "What happened? Whose call was that?""Alpha messed up a task I gave him," Matthias replied, feigning irritation.He decided to keep the news about Danielle being hurt at the kindergarten from Leona to avoid causing unnecessary worry."Don't get angry at Alpha. I think he's quite okay, a bit goofy, and Dani likes him. Maybe you're just expecting too much from him?" Leona said, rolling her eyes and defending Alpha."Yeah, I'll go check on him. He usually does a good job," Matthias said and left.As soon as Matthias stepped out of Wealthtrack, he slammed on the gas pedal and sped toward Rainbow Kindergarten.He was driving recklessly and running red lights.Usually, Matthias would be more careful. However, his precious daughter had been hurt, and he could not care less about the traffic laws.Brock received the alarming news at the governor's office about Matthias' nu
The lady, Barbara Babcock, said, "Had I not come to the kindergarten today, I wouldn't have known about this. I want to get Avelyn's necklace back, and suddenly, I'm the one in the wrong?"She glared at Sophie, the teacher holding Danielle protectively.If not for Sophie's sudden appearance, Barbara would have already snatched the necklace from Danielle's neck and walked away without a second thought.Barbara had once been an ordinary worker, but her life changed when her sister married someone powerful—none other than Simon Rogers, the Education Department's Deputy Director.With Simon's influence, Barbara had landed some lucrative deals, amassing a fortune worth millions within a few years.In truth, Barbara's wealth meant she rarely cared for ordinary jewelry.However, her daughter, Avelyn Palmer, had been nagging her about wanting a necklace.Barbara had bought Avelyn a simple one to appease her, but Avelyn dismissed it, insisting that Danielle's necklace was the prettiest.
Sophie's face paled as she fought to keep her composure, trying her best not to let Barbara's words get to her."Mrs. Palmer, that necklace does belong to Danielle. She wore it the first day she arrived at school. As her teacher, I can vouch for that."Before Barbara could respond, Avelyn jumped in, her voice dripping with jealousy and satisfaction as she pointed at Danielle."No way! That necklace is mine! My mommy bought it for me, and Danielle stole it!"Sophie's anger flared at the sight of Avelyn's behavior, and she wondered how a kid her age could be so dishonest.She turned to Barbara and steadied her voice, saying, "Mrs. Palmer, children are easily influenced by the adults around them. Avelyn is so young, and having thoughts like this isn't good for her development.""Shut up!" Barbara snapped, jabbing a finger in Sophie's direction. "You're just a lowly teacher. Who are you to talk about my daughter? Avelyn is telling the truth! That necklace is hers, and you're just try
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense and eerily quiet.After the first slap, Barbara was furious. Unable to process the shock and humiliation, she immediately shouted back.However, a cold realization began to dawn on her after Matthias delivered the second slap.His icy gaze made it clear that this was a man with nothing to lose, someone who would go to any lengths.Fear began to replace her anger, silencing her."Apologize to her!" Matthias commanded.Barbara shot him a hateful look but kept silent, too afraid to speak.She could only glare at him, her eyes filled with resentment.Avelyn, who had been quiet until then, suddenly burst into tears, crying in fear and anger."You're a bad man! A bad man! You hit my mommy!""That's not true! My daddy is not a bad man—your mommy is! My daddy is a hero!" Danielle shot back."Your dad is a bad man! And you're a thief! Your whole family is bad! I'm going to tell my daddy to hurt all of you!" Avelyn sobbed, her eyes fu
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
