Frederick's rage burned like wildfire. He could not believe that despite knowing full well about the Crimson Titans' return, Matthias had the audacity to kill his men and Barry.Frederick had ordered all city exits sealed to prevent Matthias from escaping. Instead of fleeing, Matthias had the nerve to continue provoking them. He was furious and wanted blood.Disregarding Pierre's orders, Frederick's only thought was to find Matthias and make him suffer.Just then, a figure emerged from a nearby corner. It was one of the Crimson Titans who had been gathering intelligence in the area. He had witnessed the clash between Barry's group and Matthias' people but had not had a chance to join the fight before it ended."Lord Frederick, I've alerted our hidden operatives about Matthias' group's movements. We've just received intel on Matthias' hideout," the person said.Frederick's eyes lit up, a vicious grin spreading across his face. "Excellent! We've finally cornered that bastard! Lead t

Frederick and the Crimson Titans had arrived with a show of force, but they left with their tails between their legs. They had not even caught a glimpse of Matthias, and Russell had humiliated Frederick. It was a complete embarrassment.Matthias stood by the window inside The Lair, watching Frederick and his men retreat. A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.Behind him, Alpha grinned and said, "Lord Matthias, who would've thought Russell was a Supreme-level warrior too? He seemed pretty powerful.""As the first commander of New Avalbourne's military, Russell needs that strength to keep the entire department in line. They have quite a few Supreme-level warriors," Matthias replied calmly, unsurprised by Russell's power.Alpha's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Lord Matthias, can you gauge Russell's true strength? Just from those few moves he used to teach Frederick a lesson, I don't think I'd stand a chance against him."Matthias chuckled. "Russell became a Supreme-level war

Dalton remembered his earlier boasts about taking down Matthias, which had earned him a harsh rebuke from Russell. He had been nursing his wounded pride, looking for a chance to save face.However, he no longer dared to entertain such thoughts. Dalton felt terrified and relieved, grateful to be part of the military and in Russell's good graces. Otherwise, he might have been doomed.That day, Matthias opened up to Leona about his vendetta against the Lowell family, explaining everything in detail. Leona broke down in tears, embracing Matthias tightly. Not understanding the situation, Danielle began crying too when she saw her mother so distraught."Matt, we'll go with you when the time comes," Leona said, her eyes red. "If we die, we'll die together as a family."Even after knowing Matthias' enemy was the powerful Lowell family and the odds were stacked against him, Leona was not afraid. As long as they were together, she could face any danger."Don't worry; I've made all the arran

The revelation of Matthias' true identity as a Lowell sent shockwaves through Reirmunt's elite circles. Each family had their own take on the situation, and anticipation for the upcoming events on East Mountain reached a fever pitch.Many hoped for an invitation to witness the confrontation firsthand. Unfortunately, the prominent Lowell family limited the exclusive guest list to only the most powerful families in the region. Hence, ordinary families had no chance of receiving one.The Lowell family remained calm, making no move regarding the matter. With only one day left, there was no rush. As night fell, they had prepared everything. East Mountain blazed with light before night fell, drawing all eyes in Reirmunt.As night deepened, it became clear that many in Reirmunt would not sleep well as they pondered the impending clash between Matthias and the Lowell family—one a mysterious young Supreme-level warrior, fiercely protected by Russell, the other, one of the top three families

Pierre's words effectively labeled Matthias as an impostor, not the real Alistair. By refusing to acknowledge his role in Oswald's death, Pierre attempted to erase that dark chapter of family history.The gathered guests nodded in agreement, showering Pierre with flattery. Though everyone knew the truth, some secrets were better left unspoken.If Pierre were to acknowledge Matthias' true identity, it would indirectly confirm his involvement in his own son's death—a devastating blow to the Lowell family's reputation.Pierre would never allow that to happen."Matthias is nothing but a loser. His pathetic display of mourning with his wife and daughter is just a ploy for sympathy. He knows he's no match for the Lowell family, so he's resorting to these cheap tactics to beg for mercy."But he's a fool—this will only anger us further and make his death even more miserable!" Frederick commented, secretly pleased.Since Pierre had made up his mind, Matthias would surely be dead."Anyone
