All Chapters of Family First, Revenge Next: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Russell received the news about Matthias' arrival almost instantly. Within moments, Reirmunt's defense level was raised a notch.Simultaneously, two pieces of news spread among Reirmunt's great families. The first was that Russell would host a Hero's Banquet, inviting all prominent families to welcome a legendary warlord back from the military.All the Reirmunt's elite knew the warrior's name—Dalton Archer.Dalton was Reirmunt's Archer family's adopted son, and he was in love with Hazel Garcia, the eldest daughter of Reirmunt's Garcia family, for years. However, his older brother, Linus Archer, had used family connections to arrange a marriage with her.On Linus's wedding day, Dalton eloped with Hazel, but the Archer family discovered them. Enraged, the Archer family patriarch falsely accused Dalton of a crime and imprisoned him for seven years.While serving his sentence, a powerful figure noticed him and recruited him into the military. No one expected Dalton to turn his life ar

The room fell into a deafening silence as everyone stared at Pierre, stunned by his words.The brothers' conspiracy to kill Oswald was not exactly a secret within the family. Still, no one had mentioned it since it happened, as if they had collectively chosen to forget.Yet, Pierre casually brought up the details in front of everyone.Pierre's face darkened as Roland remained silent, and his tone grew heavier as he repeated the question."I asked you a question. Did you confirm it?""Dad, there was only one child on the boat," Roland hurriedly replied, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "His clothes and height were the same. It must've been him."In truth, they had not bothered to investigate further, never imagining a ten-year-old could escape.Pierre stared at Roland, causing him to avert his gaze."If that child is alive and has returned for revenge, can he be the one behind everything we're facing now?" Pierre mused, his eyes glinting.His words sent shockwaves through the

Carlile's face darkened at Stuart's words. However, his other brothers could barely contain their glee. Stuart's treatment of Leona was indirectly a slight against Carlile, a spectacle they thoroughly enjoyed.Nadine looked pained and was about to plead on Leona's behalf when someone beat her to it."Dad is right. She was raised outside our family. Who knows what kind of crowd she's been mixing with? If she wants to join the family now, she needs to learn the Reilley ways properly," Niles' wife, Michelle Townsend, said, her voice dripping with disdain as she shot Nadine a smug glance.Nadine's eyes flashed with irritation. The four Reilley sons' covert rivalries extended to their wives, turning the family into a soap opera of hidden agendas and petty conflicts."Exactly," Mitch's wife, Sarah Brown, commented sarcastically. "Everyone knows how much we value our traditions. Leona rejected us before, but now she's crawling back. We can't let her make fools of us. If we don't teach her

As the three guards moved to block Matthias, with one attempting a vicious kick, a flash of deadly intent crossed Matthias' eyes. In a split second, he lashed out with his own foot.Three loud thuds echoed as the guards were sent flying backward. The one who had tried to kick Matthias suffered the worst, with at least three broken ribs.In the blink of an eye, all three guards writhed on the ground in agony, staring at Matthias in shock. They could not believe that an ordinary-looking man had such incredible strength.Just then, the guard who had gone inside earlier came running out. His face contorted with rage when he saw his colleagues on the ground."What's going on here? Did you do this? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"In a flash, Matthias closed the distance between them, grabbing the guard by the throat."You're back. It took you half an hour to do something so simple. So tell me—who's trying to get themselves killed here?"The guard's face turned pale, stunned by

As the guards rushed toward Matthias, a woman suddenly threw herself between them, shouting, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"Despite her disapproval of Matthias' rash actions, Nadine could not stand by and watch her daughter's husband be harmed."Dad, please forgive him. It's their first time here, and he doesn't know our rules. You can't punish someone for what they don't know," Nadine pleaded, her eyes red with tears."Silence! You have no right to speak here. Get back!" Carlile snapped, his face flushed with anger.Then, he glared at Matthias with contempt. "This loser dared to threaten me in Havenwood. Now, he dares to talk about destroying us? If we don't break his legs today, how will we maintain order in the Reilley family?""Carlile, he's Leona's husband!" Nadine cried in disbelief, shocked by her husband's cruelty.Delilah chimed in mockingly, "Aunt Nadine, just step aside. This man is digging his own grave. Threatening to destroy us? Breaking his legs is letting him off easy."
