The torture she had endured at the hands of the Reilley family had pushed her to her limits, and when Matthias arrived, she finally allowed herself to relax and succumb to exhaustion.Matthias stood guard over Leona and Danielle, casting a cold glance at Stuart before addressing Alpha."Kill them all.""Yes, my lord!" Alpha and his team roared.With their main concern safe, they unleashed their full power. Each strike targeted vital points, leaving their opponents in critical condition."Attack!" Alpha and his men fought with rampant fury, their enemies falling in droves.Stuart's face paled as he witnessed the bloodbath. Pushing aside his grief for his dead son, he began to retreat hastily."Fall back! Retreat!" he shouted, desperately wondering why Dalton had not arrived yet.Matthias' group was simply too powerful. If Dalton did not show up soon, they were doomed.The Reilley family members fled toward the back of the estate, with t

In the grand hall, all members of the Reilley family were on their knees, their faces a mix of humiliation and hatred.That day would forever be their disgrace.Matthias looked at them with mockery as they did not seem to grasp their situation even though things had progressed to this point.Did they really think he would not dare to destroy the Reilley family?After they were rescued, Nadine tended to Leona and Danielle. She was stunned to see the scene in the hall, unable to process what she witnessed. Initially, she thought they were doomed, but Matthias had completely turned the tables, with the Reilley family kneeling before him.It was beyond her comprehension, especially considering they were still on the Reilleys' territory.Matthias approached Delilah, who had regained consciousness and glared at him venomously."So, you made that phone call?

At the Archer residence in Reirmunt, Dalton was preparing to leave after receiving word from the Reilley family. However, his plans were unexpectedly interrupted when Russell called, demanding to see him.Despite his reluctance, Dalton had no choice but to meet Russell at the War Department.

To his surprise, Russell merely wanted to discuss arrangements for the upcoming Hero's Banquet.Their conversation dragged on for two whole hours before Russell finally dismissed Dalton. Even though frustrated, Dalton could only hold back his anger. After all, Russell's actions stemmed from the high regard he held for Dalton.As he watched Dalton's retreating figure, Russell breathed a sigh of relief.'Oh, Dalton, I just saved your life tonight! One day, y

Dalton stared at Delilah, his eyes gleaming with mockery."What do we want from you, Mr. Archer? Don't you think you owe us an apology? If you had arrived at the Reilley family's place on time, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Delilah demanded, and her eyes were red as she glared at him."Delilah, shut your mouth! Mr. Archer has already explained himself. This was not his fault—it was just Matthias' dumb luck," Stuart snapped.He could not believe how thoughtless Delilah was being.Did she not realize that she was speaking to Dalton, a New Avalbourne military warlord?They should be grateful he even offered an explanation."Why should I? If he had shown up, would we be in this state? Would I be crippled?" Delilah shouted, sounding almost hysterical.The other family heads in the room could not help but frown at her outburst.Dalton let out a cold laugh. "Who do you think you are? Last night's operation was mine to decide. You're nothing. Do you think you deserve an apology from me

The following evening, the Imperial Grand Hotel in Reirmunt was a dazzling spectacle of lights and excitement.Hotel staff lined up in two rows, warmly welcoming the arriving guests. Their faces beamed with excitement, especially when they spotted one of the legendary VIPs. Not only that but soldiers also patrolled the streets, keeping curious onlookers at a distance.

Even the cheapest one must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! All the big shots in Reirmunt are here. What's going on at the Imperial Grand Hotel tonight?"
