Louis was burning with anger. All he wanted to do at that mont was kill Asher. Not only had he been unable to protect his niece, a 14-year-old girl, but Asher had humiliated him in front of so many people. Louis, known as a troublemaker of the Rothschild family and nicknad the "Untad Beast," was now on his knees.
"Get out of here," Asher said coldly to Louis.
Louis was biting his teeth and controlling himself from attacking Asher. He knew that if he tried to harm Asher, Nathan would likely injure him, or worse, kill him.
"Let's just leave," Eva said, barely maintaining her composure despite the chaotic situation.
"We cannot leave like this. Look at Elena. We have to-" Kevin began to speak, but
"KEVIN, LET'S JUST LEAVE!" Eva shouted at him, making him shut his mouth. It was the first ti she had ever yelled at him like that.
"Guards, attend to Elena and heal any major injuries," Eva imdiately signaled to her own guards, as everyone from the Rothschild family, including Louis, was unable to move under Nathan's pressure.
Alia could not bear to look at Elena's condition and decided to avert her eyes when Asher began attacking her. But the twins, Livia and Lucas, were fine. Even the adults at the party were shocked by Asher's cruelty, despite his young age. However, Livia and Lucas remained calm and watched the duel without looking away, unlike Alia.
Lucas was used to seeing people commit murders and had even been badly beaten himself. Livia knew how many tis he had returned to their small ho with wounds all over his body. She would try to help Lucas by attending to his wounds, which was the only thing she could do before becoming bedridden due to her illness. Their rough life had changed their outlook on life. At that mont, they seed more fitting for the na Greville, incomparison to Alia.
Asher looked at Eva's guards attending to the unconscious Elena. He removed his blood-stained gloves and threw them on the ground. He indifferently moved towards his family.
"Stephen, make sure our guests can find the right exit for them," Arthur stood up and spoke. Seeing his son stand up, Nathan imdiately released the pressure, and everyone could finally breathe properly. The young boys who had admired Elena had been thinking of avenging her when Asher first punched her, but after seeing the whole thing play out, nobody was thinking of challenging Asher next.
Kevin, who had wanted to challenge Asher, was stopped by Eva. Although he wanted to argue, he thought about his family and their reputation and decided not to challenge Asher yet.
"We have an announcent to make, so everybody please move on to the hall area," Arthur spoke and addressed the guests.
"Say my best regards to your families," Arthur spoke before leaving with Asher and the rest.
"We will," Eva spoke as she watched Louis, who was freed now, move out with female guards carrying Elena carefully. Kevin also followed behind him, leaving Eva alone there.
"As for the rest of the guests, the night is still young, so you guys should enjoy," Nathan laughed and disappeared from the place, going back to his own private room.
The party kept going on, but Eva, Kevin, and Louis had already left. The dia outside was not present there, so nobody captured the image of the injured Elena, but this news would be out for the world soon. This would surely be a shock for many people.
Asher went to his changing room to change his suit, which had Elena's blood on it. He was already feeling less burdened ntally. He was actually glad he had gone hunting before the party, as it helped him control his bloodlust greatly today. He was sure that if he had fought Elena normally, she would have died there for sure.

Asher looked at his quest completion notification and changed into a new suit. He arrived in the hall, where the performances of various artists could be seen, but the mood of the party was somber. All those in attendance knew that a feud would be brewing between two elite families. Although Greville did not care about facing retaliation from their enemies, Rothschild also had a Seat Holder of their own.
Asher entered the hall and caught the attention of everyone present. Arthur, who had been talking with Sylvie and Damian, greeted him. "Everyone, I am glad you took the ti to attend our party and I hope you have enjoyed it so far," Arthur said with a smile on his face, though his inner battle freak was proud of his son, he would not show it to Asher to maintain his stoic image.
His words caused many guests to cough as they were sipping their drinks. This party was probably the most chaotic one they had attended in their lives. Injuring a person from an Elite Family badly and carrying on like nothing had happened was sothing only the Greville could do. Many enemies who were waiting for their chance to attack the Greville would definitely take the chance to ally with the Rothschild now that they would be in bad terms with the Greville very soon.
"Although the mood has soured a bit, I have an important announcent to make," Arthur said as Stephen allowed so of the reporters who belonged to famous dia channels into the hall. These people had been told to rest in the room they were given until they were called in, so they missed the chance to take proof of Elena's condition. Although they were happy to be given the chance to even record this much, so of the reporters were surprised at the managent of the party but they did not turn their caras away from Arthur.
"We will now announce my son Asher as the official heir of the Greville family from this day onwards," Arthur said and many people clapped in response. All of them knew Asher would probably beco the heir now that he was also an awakened person, which denied the advantage Alia had over him.
Asher nodded his head, his official heir ceremony would happen at the age of 18 when he would beco an adult. This was an announcent that confird that Asher now represented his entire family in every step he took.
"But we have one more piece of news," Arthur continued.
"As you all know, my little brother, the one hailed as a hero by the whole world, Ivar Von Greville died young without any successors," Arthur's words made many people rember the na of the deceased family mber of the Greville family. Ivar's na was famous in the whole world, and even the young people knew who he was, as his tale was told in many academies to inspire young people.
Lucas and Livia felt a strange emotion in their hearts that made them happy but was bitter for them at the sa ti. Even though they had never t their father, both of them held love in their hearts for their parents. Their mother had made sure that they knew what kind of man their father was, so growing up they did not grow to hate their own father.
"Recently we discovered that Ivar did have children, and they were recently found by us," Arthur said, gesturing for the twins to co forward. Lucas and Livia arrived in front of Arthur and removed their black glasses, revealing their crimson red eyes.
"What? The famous Ivar Greville had kids?"
"I knew sothing was fishy about those two."
"But who is their mother?"
People were chatting, but Arthur's voice stopped their discussion,
"These two are the daughter and son of my brother Ivar and now they will officially be a part of the Greville family," Arthur gestured for Sylvie to continue.
"Unfortunately, the mother of these two beautiful children is not alive anymore, and to respect her, we will not disclose her information to the public until the twins reach adulthood," Sylvie's statent ensured that the twins would have enough ti to beco strong enough to handle any negative reactions to their mother's identity as a commoner.
"So, can both of you introduce yourselves to all of our guests?" Sylvie smiled at the twins while patting their heads.
"Hello, my na is Livia Von Greville, and it's nice to et you all," Livia said cutely, causing so won in the crowd to cheer.
"My na is Lucas Von Greville, and I am her twin brother," Lucas kept his introduction short.
"From now on, our Greville family has two sons and two daughters," Arthur's authoritative voice made it clear that the twins were fully supported by the Greville family.
Many people, including Edward Amaris, ca up to congratulate and greet the twins. Livia cheerfully replied to everyone, but Lucas, who had been influenced by Asher's behavior, kept his interactions short with others.
"If I had known about it in advance, I would have brought so gifts for you kids as well," Edward said while warmly greeting the two children.
The party suddenly gained it's energy and this made people forget about the duel that happen just now. Seeing everyone done with their greetings, Arthur reminded Sylvie about sothing causing her to gather the attention of everyone present her.
"We have prepared a small welco gift for these adorable cuties," Sylvie said while signaling Stephen. Her statent made others curious, and the reporters, who were flabbergasted by the twins' identities, waited to find out what the gift was.
