Even though Barry was only Roland's son with no chance of inheriting the Lowell family leadership, the resources at his disposal were enough to make lesser families drool."Barry, I have a favor to ask. The Reilley family wants to expand into Havenwood's financial sector, but it's the Grahams' territory. We'd face pushback if we moved in without support," Jeremy Reilley, Demetrius's son, said.The Graham family was similar in strength to the Reilley family.Barry shrugged nonchalantly. "The Grahams? No big deal. I'll make a call and sort it out."Jeremy's face lit up with excitement. "Thank you, Barry! This is a huge help to the Reilley family."He could not wait to tell Stuart, who would probably be ecstatic.Barry smirked and asked, "By the way, Jeremy. I heard some young hotshot barged into your place today and made the Reilley family submit to him. Pretty pathetic for a so-called elite family of Reirmunt, don't you think?"Jeremy's face flushed with embarrassment, and he fel

A terrifying aura erupted from Matthias, his eyes blazing red as he leaped into action. With a powerful punch, he sent the first bodyguard flying across the room, severely injuring the person. Then, he quickly followed up by kicking another bodyguard away.Barry and the others watched the fight unfold. At first, Barry looked disdainful, but his expression gradually froze as he realized the situation was spiraling out of control.Jeremy was terrified and inched toward the exit while the other young heirs looked on in surprise, unfamiliar with Matthias' fighting skills."Barry, need a hand? I may not be the Ramsay family's favorite, but I have bodyguards," Edmund said.The Ramsay family was also a major family in Reirmunt, much stronger than the Reilleys.The other heirs chimed in, suggesting they test how many men it would take to subdue Matthias. Jeremy could only smile bitterly, remembering that the Reilley family had recently dismissed all their guards."What are you waiting fo

Meanwhile, Edmund and the others stood up, looking at Matthias with fear.They trembled as they spoke, "Hey, we're just bystanders. Tonight's events have nothing to do with us.""Did I say you could speak?" Matthias glanced at them, and they immediately fell silent."Kneel and admit your guilt!" Matthias ordered.With a series of thuds, Edmund and the others dropped to their knees. Even though they felt humiliated, they valued their lives more.Only Barry hesitated, his face contorting with inner conflict. He was the Lowell family's heir, and kneeling was beneath him.Suddenly, two sharp cracks rang out, followed by Barry's screams. Edmund and the others watched in horror as Matthias broke both of Barry's legs.It was a declaration of war against the Lowell family!Everyone regretted attending Barry's gathering. They would not have been caught in that mess if they had not joined."You broke my legs! You're dead! No matter who you are, the Lowell family will never forgive this!

That night, the Lowells, Ramsays, and other prominent families rallied their resources to search for Matthias. Despite their best efforts, they could not find a single trace of him. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving the powerful families running in circles.It was shocking, considering those families were the big shots of Reirmunt. They knew the city like the back of their hand, and finding someone was usually child's play for them. Yet, even with their combined efforts, Matthias remained nowhere to be seen.All the influential families in Reirmunt were intrigued. Clearly, Matthias was no ordinary person.At Reirmunt's top military command center, Russell smirked as he listened to reports about the city's turmoil. He had carefully arranged everything, and if the Lowell family could find Matthias, it would make his military unit look incompetent.Russell understood that Matthias could stay hidden without any help. However, he still did whatever he could to show Mat

Stuart gritted his teeth and said, "Pierre, if Matthias hadn't relied on his fighting skills, he would've been dead when he barged into our home."We've looked into his background. He's married to Leona, our family's disgrace. He's unemployed, not part of the military, and has no connections to New Avalbourne's government. He's a nobody!"Pierre chuckled. "A nobody who's managed to evade our combined efforts?"Stuart's face turned slightly red, feeling embarrassed. "Perhaps my family's not powerful enough to uncover his true identity."Pierre smiled as he waved his hand. "I'm not singling you out, Stuart. I also had my people investigate him and even called Russell personally. Matthias isn't with the military."The group breathed a collective sigh of relief. Without military backing, Matthias' strength seemed less threatening.A man without connections was a dead man walking.Pierre said, "Yet, this nobody has managed to embarrass us in front of all of Reirmunt's elite families.
