Ford, the fashion consultant following Hank from behind, gasped in surprise at Maverick's words. His gaze shifted to Elara, who was still sitting calmly.

"Who is that woman?" Ford asked the receptionist. "She's making trouble with the son of our priority customer. This could ruin the boutique's reputation!"

The receptionist double-checked Cassian's data with trembling hands. "That woman came with a man. They said that the Greythorn family sent them here."

"How can you believe them?"

"They rode Paganigma here, so I don't have any suspicions."

"You idiot! Don't you know that expensive cars can also be rented? Because of your poor performance, I'm going to report to Human Resources about your dismissal!"

The word 'dismissal' triggered the receptionist to kneel. "Please don't do this. I promise I won't make the same mistake again!" she pleaded.

Seeing the scene, Elara had no choice but to take action. She helped the receptionist back to her feet.

"No need to beg like that. You're doing a

    Cassian's words amazed everyone except Elara. He should have been scared since Hank had won a special national wrestling tournament award.But instead, he said something that indicated that Hank's grip was not strong. Even if Hank's glory days were in the past, it did not change the fact that he had represented Lumithorn at the national championships."What the hell is that guy? Why isn't he moving an inch?" Ford asked in confusion.Maverick punched Ford in the head. "Don't question my father's strength! He must be playing with that guy right now," he said confidently.A strong person sometimes teases their opponent as a taunt. Because of this, Maverick believed his father was playing Cassian mentality."You may be arrogant now," Maverick continued, grinning dismissively at Cassian. "But that arrogance will disappear after my dad throws you to the floor!"Trent nodded in agreement, pulling out his phone to record Hank's epic scene. He cut Cassian's face because he did not think he was

    The receptionist had verified Cassian's data, which meant he had come by invitation. Moreover, rooms number one to ten were only given to priority clients.One had to pay a monthly fee of $3,000 and order a minimum of three suits every month to become a priority client. If someone could spend that kind of money, they were obviously from the upper class.Ford was more surprised by this fact than Cassian beating Hank. In his opinion, anyone can beat a wrestling athlete as long as that person has above-average strength.Unexpectedly, Cassian not only had strength but also money! He was even close friends with the owner of the largest private bank in the country."W-Was that guy really a priority client?" asked Ford in a low voice.The receptionist nodded without hesitation. She showed the data on the computer screen. "You can read this information for yourself. Lady Rosalie of the Greythorn family did send him and that woman!"Everyone's gaze turned to Elara. Her expression seemed to say

    Victory Hills had a special area called the Social Hub for the noble community. In this area, there was a swimming pool, gym, garden, spa, private cinema, art gallery, and even a helipad for helicopters.The Social Hub also had a private yacht club close to the clubhouse, which was the central building. Only community members could access all the facilities in this area.Ace employed top-level bodyguards from Ironclad to guard the Social Hub. Tonight, a party would be held at the clubhouse so he had to increase security.The deployed security team even exceeded that of the auction, which indicated that many important people were attending this party."Lady, why are you waiting outside? Come in with me," a man approached Rosalie while fixing his hair. It was Wilfred, the son of a tech company owner in the capital.Rosalie smiled in formal response. "I'm waiting for my friends. Please just go in first," she declined as politely as possible."I was actually hesitant to approach you becau

    Rosalie ignored the confused looks people threw at her for coming with Cassian. She led him and Elara to join the Greythorn family table.Jeremy and Ryan's faces were filled with disgust. They initially tried to respect Cassian because he had saved Dalton's life.But everything changed after they heard Nathaniel's words. Their impression of Cassian dropped, and they were convinced he was arranging a cunning plan to take advantage of their sister."Why are you all putting on such faces? Say hello to Cassian and Miss West," Rosalie said with a threatening look.Usually, Jeremy and Ryan obeyed their sister, but not this time. They only gave Elara a friendly smile and overlooked Cassian."This is the second time we've met. I remember you were the representative of the West family at the Bridge Point party," Ryan said in a friendly tone.His demeanor was not fake. Unlike Jeremy, who loved to splurge, he spent time studying business to help Rosalie.Connections were meaningful to him. He wan

    The people around Garett frowned in surprise. The hospital had been secretive about Dalton's illness, so people only knew he had been sick for a while and not working on recovery.Because of this, the GT Group's situation remained safe despite the leader's absence. It would have been a different story if the investors had known the truth since they did not fully trust Rosalie."I did hear that Mr. Dalton was sick but didn't know he had a serious illness," someone said suspiciously.Garett snorted. "You've all been fooled! Mr. Dalton is actually dying. The Greythorn family hides this so investors and cooperation partners don't leave!""Oh my God, is that true? GT Group would be in chaos without Mr. Dalton's leadership.""Lady Rosalie has gone too far. She should be honest about this matter. She has behaved unprofessionally!"Garett's people spoke in a high tone, inviting other guests to approach. Those who had business dealings with the Greythorn family urged Rosalie to tell the truth.

    Although people from the capital were not to be underestimated, they could not do as they pleased in Lumithorn. That was because the ties between the rich were strong in this city.When someone wanted to expand their business in Lumithorn, they had to ask Logan and the other wealthy families for permission.Even the largest elite community in the country was in Victory Hills. As a result, people from outside the city had to behave themselves."Sir, you don't need to waste your precious time on this matter," Garett said half-nervously.Logan gave him a sharp look. "It's my business, too, since GT Group is my partner!" he replied firmly."I agree," Cole backed Logan up as he did not like Garett's attitude. "The Avian family is very close to Greythorn. If you disrespect us, then I can't stay silent!"The people talking rudely to Rosalie changed their attitude, knowing Logan took this matter seriously."I apologize for being angry with you. It's Garett's fault for luring me into misunders

    After hearing the announcement, the guests should have returned to their seats. However, they ignored it because they focused more on Cassian's problem. "Is he really a resident of Victory Hills?" Wilfred asked skeptically. When he checked the information in the database himself, he had no words of refutation.The penalty for falsifying resident data was to pay a hefty fine. The guards were unlikely to risk their careers for a strange man.Thus, there was no doubt that Cassian owned units in Victory Hills. This fact could not be accepted by everyone.Callista grunted. "How did you become a resident here? I didn't know the standards of this community were so low!""We share the same opinion," Nathaniel retorted irritably. "My family has moved up to tier one, but Victory Hills hasn't allowed us to join the community yet."Olivia nodded. "It's not fair that the administrators accepted Cassian instead. He must have done something sneaky to deceive Mr. Ace," she provoked the others to thi

    "Why are you silent now? Don't you care about your cousin?" Elara asked with a hint of sarcasm.She could not get over Olivia's constant repetition of mistakes. This was not the first time her cousin had gotten into trouble for insulting Cassian.However, Olivia was not discouraged and continued to look for ways to destroy Cassian. If she knew who the man she was picking on was, she would have given up early on."I-I only heard from rumors. I'm not the one spreading rumors about Cassian," Olivia shirked.Rosalie growled in annoyance. "It's true you're not the first person to spread rumors about him. But you and your boyfriend are the ones who brought those rumors here!"Seeing Cassian defended by two beautiful women made people envious of him. Moreover, Rosalie was not an approachable woman.Even if a man invested in the GT Group, Rosalie would still set boundaries by thinking of him as an ordinary coworker.Everyone wondered what Cassian did that the untouchable woman protected him.

    Ronin had never felt this empty before. He had to admit it hurt to remember that he once had a normal childhood. It went against his chosen path, but like Syla said, maybe the way home was only far in his mind.He thought he would be scared and run away like a coward before facing Cassian. But here he was now, attending the Harmony Gala to find the Commander and willing to take responsibility for his country."What a touching performance! I even cried listening to how you played the Moonlight Sonata," Ava praised him, wiping tears from her eyes with her fingertips.Julian nodded in agreement. Even though he did not like Ronin, he admitted that the President's piano performance was beyond expectation. He said in amazement, "I wonder why you never showcased this talent. I think a lot of people would love to hear you play.""I agree!" the conductor chimed in. "I will be holding a free orchestra for sick children. If Mr. President would be willing to attend, it would be an honor!"Ronin r

    All the guests immediately rose from their seats to welcome the president's arrival. Two guards opened the large wooden doors carved with birds and clouds while Ronin walked in with his hands behind his back. He came alone, without anyone accompanying him.Normally, there would always be a presidential security team at events like this, but not a single guard was seen. Everyone was too delighted by Ronin's presence to question its strangeness."Am I interrupting something?" Ronin asked, aware that the ceremony had paused because of his arrival.The host chuckled lightly to ease the tension. "Of course not! You're right on time, Sir. We've just begun the main event. Your arrival is our best gift, so you could never be interrupted!"Ronin glanced across the room but could not find Cassian anywhere. His spies had also reported that Cassian was not present at any other location. That meant he had to wait until Cassian arrived, and he disliked the emptiness of the wait."May I offer someth

    Weltaria Hall of Culture has been transformed into a magnificent and glittering space to celebrate the Harmony Gala. Diamond chandeliers and golden chairs wrapped in silk added an unmatched level of luxury, far more spectacular than the capital's birthday party yesterday.Every corner was filled with elegant plates carrying expensive appetizers like escargot and world-class sushi. At the same time, waiters swiftly served champagne and exclusive cocktails to guests before the main event began.Journalists were seen in various corners broadcasting the event preparations. Almost every television channel would air it live. Even the internet today would be flooded with news about the Harmony Gala.Although people knew the event was secretly used as a stage to show off, they did not mind because they were happy to see so much money being spent to help those in need. In other separate buildings, orphans were eating together with officials, who were only there to take photos to post on their

    "The President will meet you tomorrow at the Harmony Gala. Get ready to see him beg!" a girl's voice came through Cassian's earphones. She continued with satisfaction, "Finally, this country's problem is getting solved! I can't wait to rest after Ronin gets what he deserves.""Thanks for your hard work, Sadie. You know you can rest anytime by passing your duties to someone else," Cassian replied with a smile, even though the girl could not see it.Sadie was the daughter of the owners of the biggest tech company in Weltaria. Since childhood, she has shown her intelligence and often appeared in the news. Her parents introduced her to Cassian; since then, she has insisted on becoming the Commander's personal hacker.She also hacked Vance's phone and saved him from Ronin, who almost read Cassian's message. With her help, Vance and Cassian could exchange information safely. Her intelligence was far above average, and she could even breach the security of Ronin's phone.That had happened a

    The unexpected order shocked the guards, leaving them silent for a moment as they processed it. They had overheard the commotion in the Situation Room, including Ronin's plan to flee the country if war broke out. It was natural for them to expect the President's next command to add more to their burden.To their surprise, Ronin ordered them to find Cassian's whereabouts instead. He would not have asked for the Commander if his plan had remained unchanged."What are you waiting for? I'll be here until you bring me good news," Ronin waved his hand as if brushing away a fly before turning around and sitting on the iron chair.The guards glanced at each other before they finally believed Ronin was serious. Their lips twitched as they tried to hold back their happy smiles, doing their best to remain professional."Yes, Mr. President! We'll split into two teams. One will stay with you, and the other will work with the spies to carry out your orders."Ronin only gave a short nod, his eyes fi

    Ronin was stunned by the little girl's innocent yet piercing response. She was right. The road home was not far. He was the one who made it that way. In his mind, his younger self laughed at him and said, "Come on, just admit it. You're a coward! You don't dare to walk another path because you're afraid to start over!""No, I didn't mean it that way," Ronin murmured, his gaze becoming more lifeless. Syla looked worried at his reaction, thinking it was her words. Dean and Anne asked what was going on, but the President suddenly screamed while clutching his head."Don't act like you know everything!" Ronin shouted at the shadow of his younger self that kept appearing in his mind. "You don't know anything! You don't know what I've been through. I had to sacrifice everything I wanted to get to this position!""But you could have chosen not to sacrifice it," young Ronin laughed mockingly. His large, glowing eyes were nothing like the eyes of the adult Ronin, which were now burning inside t

    "Sir, are you alright?" Syla asked worriedly, but Ronin stayed silent, his eyes lifeless. The president was sitting with them in the car, yet somehow, it felt like he was far away, completely out of reach.Dean and Anne also tried to talk to Ronin, but they received the same cold silence. Eventually, they gave up, realizing something was deeply wrong.Far away from that place, in a different time decades ago, young Ronin was playing the piano while the servants smiled as they listened. For a child his age, he was extremely talented in music and could be considered a genius pianist in the making.The servants clapped as Ronin finished playing Liebestraum No. 3, a romantic piano piece by Franz Liszt that symbolized eternal love and deep emotion. Its gentle melody touched the heart, while its complex technique showed Ronin's mastery."Young Master, you were amazing! Could it be that you're the next Mozart?" the head butler praised him sincerely.Ronin smiled shyly under the sunlight stre

    The departure of the top three richest people was not what triggered the others to leave. In fact, it was Virgil's decision and Ronin's words that convinced them that staying was the wrong choice. Besides, history has shown how the winning side always hunted the losers.Even if the people in the President's Faction tried to run, they would never live peacefully because Arlo would definitely try to capture them. In the end, they would die because of the war."I'm sorry, Sir. I can't bring my family with me if I run away. It's too risky," Mayor Warren said with a bitter smile.Without warning, Ronin punched him. "Are you going to betray me now after everything I've given you? All of you sitting here got your positions in the government because of me!"Everyone lowered their heads in shame. There had not been any opposition party in Weltaria since Ronin fully took control of the government. Even if there was one, it never had as much influence as the President's Faction. The only power t

    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
