Ronin's arrogance was what brought him to the position he was in now. He looked down on everyone in Weltaria, including Cassian. If he had discarded his pride long ago, Cassian would probably still be in the military now.But Ronin thought too highly of himself, believing he could make Weltaria reac

The suffocating silence swept across the room following Waylon's blunt statement. Everyone's words got caught in their throats, and no one dared to say a word. The truth was, they had already doubted Ronin's ability to handle the war ever since he started throwing tantrums during the meeting.The on

Jolene flinched in shock when Ronin snatched the phone from her roughly. The trace of anger on his face grew more intense. It was understandable, considering the only thing he received after waiting for fifteen minutes was an insult."Do you think just because you're the underground ruler, you have

Vance and Asher should have been seated at the military table with the others. Both of them had been sidelined from their duties in the West region because the situation there had already been under control.

Cassian's absence in this war did not intimidate the President's Faction. They believed they could outmatch their enemies with better weapons. The Narman Empire's economy crashed after surrendering with terms, while Weltaria continued to grow stronger.Financially, Weltaria's military was in a much

Allen responded irritably, "Are you suspecting me now? I was only close to Cassian's parents. He comes from a family of fighters, which is why he's so strong.""What family is he from? I don't know any powerful family named Valor," Waylon interrogated in a demanding tone. He had long been curious ab

Five years ago, Chelsea escaped from Infinity because she did not want to be a spy anymore. She was fed up with missions that always put her life on the line. While everyone was preparing for war, she secretly ran away to a place she thought no one would reach. Tigris Island was Chelsea's destination at the time. Since the island was filled with evil energy sources and poisonous plants, humans rarely came here. Chelsea would stay on Tigris Island until everyone forgot about her existence. Unfortunately, her plan did not go smoothly due to the arrival of other people. "Huh? Who are they? Why did they come here?" Just then, Coup de Grace troops came to the island. Chelsea had no idea who they were until she saw Nolan carrying Dionne and Selena. "Isn't that Rex's girlfriend?" Chelsea wrinkled her forehead. She was hiding behind a rock at the moment. "Damn it. I came to the wrong place. But I can't run away now because they will realize my existence." Chelsea had hidden her aura earl

On the other side, Nolan still had some energy left despite the massive damage to his chest. He watched Iordan's death with an angry face. If Iordan died, then so would he. Nolan did not want to die like this. With his left power, he could launch the ultimate attack on Rex. But before Nolan could do that, Molly suddenly ran towards him and stabbed his body repeatedly while laughing."Auntie...?" Rex's voice reached Molly's ear, and she immediately stopped stabbing Nolan. Suddenly, memories began to flash across her head. It was the memories of Rex calling her "aunty." She remembered how cheerful she and the Quillon family were when Rex could talk. Little Rex called her with a sweet smile, warming her heart. At that moment, Molly thought, 'I will protect this child whatever it takes'. She devoted her life to caring for Rex and wanted him to live a happy life. For this reason, she was willing to sacrifice Dionne because she thought Rex would be more ambitious. Her thoughts returned

Nolan's body shuddered as he retained the memory of Arthur attacking him with the Hellfire Blade Technique. He remembered exactly how Arthur had beaten him back using that technique. Back then, he still had incredible endurance. But his body was different now after rising from the dead. He was indeed relatively stronger than the average top-level cultivator. Still, Nolan was not as strong as he used to be. He was a little worried, but he was sure Rex was less strong than Arthur. Besides, he also held a secret that would make Rex focus distracted. "The girl you love is probably dead by a shark. It's not my fault because Molly is in charge! A few days ago, she came to one of my sect's bases and told my people Dionne's location." Rex lost his focus because he heard something surprising. Of course, he refused to believe Molly was the mastermind behind Dionne's kidnapping. Molly had been with him since childhood, so the faith between them was firmly established. What made Rex doubt wa

Edmund and Lennart looked at Erick in despair. They did not know what to do to save their master. Since they faced a dragon spirit, they became pessimistic. "I don't think I can finish this," Lennart said, hanging his head in shame. "The divine energy I'm directing keeps getting eaten up by that dragon spirit."Morris looked away from Erick. Before going to Floria, he had opposed Erick's plan to use Inferno Dragon's Breath. The dragon spirit could not be dealt with by anyone in Histrio due to its rare existence. However, Erick still insisted on using the forbidden technique because the undead army could only be defeated with it. In other words, Erick already knew the risks of using Inferno Dragon's Breath. He was ready to die. He had no regrets if he had to die today. "Y-you can stop," Erick stammered. He sounded agonized to even utter a single word. Edmund shook his head. "I won't stop, Master!"Erick smiled faintly. His gaze began to blur. He was painful that he had to leave th

Floria had received an attack from Coup de Grace minutes after Nolan arrived at the presidential palace. The associations and affiliates on guard there immediately restrained the enemies from going to other cities. Armies in other cities did not report any attacks from Coup de Grace. That meant Coup de Grace entered Histrio through Floria because Jaylen helped Nolan. The other cities had been guarded by security forces, making infiltration difficult. For this reason, Coup de Grace would destroy Floria first before attacking other cities. The security forces' mentality would be disturbed if they saw their colleagues die. That was Coup de Grace's goal in targeting Floria. This demonic sect brought powerful fighters with an army of undead. "Everyone, watch out for the undead!" Sander shouted as he fired at the undead, still moving even after being shot. "We don't know how to defeat them. So be careful until we find a way!" Dante did not report on how to defeat Nolan's undead army be

Rex faced the fighters from Coup de Grace while thinking about Dante's report. The report was sent regularly to the NSS when Dante was not yet suspected by Nolan. The report explained that Nolan's followers did not learn necromancy techniques. Nolan taught them Demonic Blood Cultivation. Cultivators had to use the evil energy in their blood to use this cultivation technique. They would go through meditation and particular movements to channel the evil energy. Once successful, they would gain extraordinary strength. Their attacks were deadly, their movements were agile, and their endurance was incredible. "Are you Rex Quillon?" a Coup de Grace member asked as he blocked Rex's attack. "My name is Caius. You should know the name of the person who will kill you."Rex kicked Caius, sending his enemy flying five meters away. Yet, Caius could still stand tall as if nothing had happened. "Are you Arthur's son? You're weaker than expected," Caius smiled mockingly. Rex responded to the ins

Delaney was nervous that she did not know Brigitta very well. Who knew Brigitta was planning to set her up? But her doubts slowly disappeared because Brigitta was not trying to make her make a big mistake.The car stopped at a deserted spot. Delaney realized it was time for her to speak."Are you really going to help me?" she asked hesitantly.Brigitta nodded. "I hope you can get others to participate as well. The more people who report, the better.""But why do you want to help me?""You must already know that my husband owns Flower Entertainment because it was reported," Aelish answered Delaney's question. "He could benefit if LRV gets involved in a scandal. Now that he's the heir to the Rauveron family, it's easy for him to settle this matter."Delaney already knew the news about Warrick. She was also surprised because she did not expect him to take Zayden's place. With Rauveron's influence, she might be able to escape the slavery contract.She spoke in a serious tone, "I've been r

Cassius could not finish his work in peace after learning that a mysterious man was interfering with the bridge rebuilding project. Panicked, he ordered Sky Vision to fire Harold."Did you do what I requested?" he asked his secretary.Emmerich nodded. "Yes, I've told people to take care of Harold. He will be responsible for the corruption of the project.""When will it be done? I want Harold on the news as soon as possible.""You have to be patient, sir. It's not just you who are involved with the project. Your people are working hard to eliminate evidence and make it all Harold's fault.""What about the mysterious man?""I'm sorry, sir. I haven't been able to trace his whereabouts. Even the Sky Vision workers don't know anything."Hearing that, Cassius' temper exploded. He threw a work file in Emmerich's face."Get information about him in two weeks! If you fail, you're fired! Get out of here!"Obediently, Emmerich walked out of the president's office. He ignored the whispers of peop

Sky Vision provided labor services to work on its projects. A qualified workforce also facilitated the rebuilding of the bridge.Chasing targets, they stay overnight at the construction site and often stay up late to complete the installation of the bridge structure. Tonight, they appeared to be taking a break.Tents were built there as their temporary sleeping quarters. They lit a campfire while eating dinner and chatting."Harold, you should ask Sky Vision to add more workers here. We're having trouble completing the bridge with the current number of workers," Clarence, the supervisor, ventured to speak up."Settle Mr. President's request quietly if you still want to live!" Harold snapped. He was the construction manager of Sky Vision, but he had sided with Cassius since a few months ago.The money that should have been used to increase the workforce was corrupted. No one dared to protest because the workers were afraid of Cassius.As a result, they were forced to work hard, which r

Warrick regularly contacted the alliance to monitor their activities. But not seeing him for two weeks must have made them uneasy.Like Zayden, the members of The Orchid Combine also thought that Warrick had been reassured by power and had forgotten about his plans for revenge. That's how humans are.The alliance members must have heard that Warrick was only focused on work. Those who initially believed in him would slowly wonder if his determination had changed.That was why Warrick would meet Lacey, who was taking a significant role in the alliance's mission this time: spying on the Laureves family."I was surprised when you said you wanted to see me right now," Lacey welcomed Warrick to her mansion in an elite residential neighborhood. She frowned at his appearance. "Are you avoiding someone?"Warrick nodded. "As expected from the leader of a scammers group, you guessed my intentions correctly. Cassius sent people to watch me, so I had to restrict my movements.""So that's why you

Warrick was able to use the abilities given by the system to solve the problems at Orionis Star. However, he only offers one stock prediction to attract clients back.Orionis Star was not yet officially in his hands, so he had to be careful if he did not want to lose money. He was willing to use his ability to spot potential investments to embarrass Zayden.His stepbrother had already proven to be a failure in solving the company's problems. This was a chance for him to show his skills."Announce that Orionis Star is cooperating with Stellar Investment Solutions!"At a meeting of the company's top brass, Warrick gave the absolute order. The news of the partnership would definitely attract the attention of potential clients."Is that okay?" Zayden asked skeptically.Warrick smiled. "SIS is limiting client acceptance indefinitely. People who want to use my company's services will be interested in the Orionis Star when the news comes out.""We should discuss this with father first.""No

Ronin's arrogance was what brought him to the position he was in now. He looked down on everyone in Weltaria, including Cassian. If he had discarded his pride long ago, Cassian would probably still be in the military now.But Ronin thought too highly of himself, believing he could make Weltaria reach the top under his rule. His arrogance slowly faded when Cassian appeared and shook his power.At that moment, the President realized he had been defeated by someone greater than himself. However, he refused to accept this reality and eventually allied with Arlo. Even after betraying his own country, he still could not defeat Cassian. He would have done so long ago if he could."Are you serious?" Virgil asked in disbelief.Ronin gave a wry smile. "The soldiers won't obey me since I am only respected. They need someone they fear to force them to fight on the battlefield."Everyone fell silent at that answer. They had had Ronin as President for almost five years, so they were familiar with a

The suffocating silence swept across the room following Waylon's blunt statement. Everyone's words got caught in their throats, and no one dared to say a word. The truth was, they had already doubted Ronin's ability to handle the war ever since he started throwing tantrums during the meeting.The one leading the battle should possess a calmness as vast as the ocean amid a storm. How could Ronin, who was so temperamental, stay composed when things did not go according to plan?Whack!Finally, the sound of a slap shattered the silence. Waylon did not move an inch despite Ronin slapping him hard, showing his incredible physical strength.Ronin grew more offended by Waylon's reaction to the slap. Arlo's betrayal had already weighed heavily on him; now, someone from his faction added to his burden."You dare—""Of course, I dare," Waylon interrupted, his gaze growing colder. "I hate the Commander for being too hard on their soldiers. That's why I sided with you instead of him. But now I th

Jolene flinched in shock when Ronin snatched the phone from her roughly. The trace of anger on his face grew more intense. It was understandable, considering the only thing he received after waiting for fifteen minutes was an insult."Do you think just because you're the underground ruler, you have the right to insult me? Your position is not higher than mine. Just wait and see until I destroy you!" he shouted, saliva flying from his mouth."I don't believe you can win the war," Daisy continued, mocking Ronin. "General Vance didn't come to me, but I know about the Narman Empire declaring war. Clearly, you're short on manpower if you're contacting me.""How do you know about that war?""Ghost Network can get information fast, even if it's a few minutes late. I received a report that soldiers from the Narman Empire were seen bringing several people who looked like doctors to the border."Ronin gripped the phone tightly, his strength cracking the screen until it flickered. Even so, the p

Vance and Asher should have been seated at the military table with the others. Both of them had been sidelined from their duties in the West region because the situation there had already been under control. They were supposed to be present at the meeting, especially considering the emergency."Jolene, contact General Vance right now!" Ronin ordered, not suspecting anything. He had been observing Vance ever since Cassian was still in power and believed that Vance was an opportunist.The soldiers who had left to support Cassian were nothing more than active-duty soldiers currently under Ronin's control. Because of this, Ronin was confident that Vance would not turn against him."S-Sir, it seems General Vance has blocked your number," Jolene said nervously.Ronin frowned. "How could he dare do that? He must be drunk somewhere in a bar and hasn't read my message. Try contacting him again!""I sent him a message from my number, and it went through, but your number can't reach him at all…"

Cassian's absence in this war did not intimidate the President's Faction. They believed they could outmatch their enemies with better weapons. The Narman Empire's economy crashed after surrendering with terms, while Weltaria continued to grow stronger.Financially, Weltaria's military was in a much better position. Humans were powerless when faced with weapons. That's what Ronin's supporters believed until they were shocked by the soldiers' response."I immediately announced the news to everyone at General Headquarters. Most of the soldiers refused to go to the battlefield. Only a few were willing, and we won't win even with good weapons," Stefan answered, trying to hold back his frustration.Ronin slammed the podium again. "What made them brave enough to make that kind of decision? They must fight for the country because it's their duty!""They're tired of the system that keeps changing. During Bertolt's leadership, the military was stagnant and didn't change much. Then, the Commande

Allen responded irritably, "Are you suspecting me now? I was only close to Cassian's parents. He comes from a family of fighters, which is why he's so strong.""What family is he from? I don't know any powerful family named Valor," Waylon interrogated in a demanding tone. He had long been curious about Cassian's background, so he was not going to miss the chance to find out.Everyone wanted to know what made Cassian different from the others. If they learned about his background, they could follow his example and gain as much power as he did."His family used to produce many great fighters, but that doesn't matter anymore because they're no longer around," Allen replied flatly, refusing to reveal any information about the Valorics.Waylon folded his arms, his eyes sharply focused on Allen. "I don't care about your identity as the richest man in the country, Mr. Vanderlyn. The fact is, I fight to protect wealthy people like you, so you should be honest out of respect for me and the oth
