Kurtis' voice dripped with contempt.To him, no one from the small city of St. Merilo could compare to his experienced warriors, and sending ten men to capture Matthias was already a great honor."That's great! Well done!" Wilfred laughed, and the rest of the Stoermer family looked thrilled.After all, the more relaxed Kurtis seemed, the stronger the Stoermer family's hidden power appeared."We'll leave it to you, Kurtis. Do as you see fit," Wilfred said, his face full of pride.The Stoermer family and their 3,000 warriors made a grand return to the Stoermer mansion, attracting the attention of many elite families along the way.The entire Havenwood was stunned by the display of power.The Stoermer family's trump card was so powerful that no one dared to oppose them.Soon, many of Havenwood's influential families made their way to the Stoermer mansion to pay respects to Kurtis, the leader of the House of Hurricane.Allies took the opportunity to strengthen their ties, while fo

"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

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

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

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
