Cassian did not lose his calm even when Aveline crossed the line. If it had been anyone else, he would have blown her away like she was just a piece of meat.

He chose to remain peaceful because he still viewed her as Sawyer's granddaughter. At this point, he finally realized why he could end up like this with Aveline.

"Don't act like this. Your grandfather was always proud of having you as his granddaughter," Cassian said, releasing Aveline's grip from his waist effortlessly.

A frown of annoyance appeared on Aveline's forehead. "Why are you linking everything to my grandfather? This is both of our problems!" she snapped.

"I'm trying to say that we used to be together because of your grandfather. That was our biggest mistake. I'm sorry, but I didn't have any special feelings for you to begin with."

"So, you married me purely because of my grandfather's request?"

As soon as Cassian nodded, Aveline crumpled to the floor. Her laughter echoed through the room.

Her sanity was slowly being l

    All of Aveline's wealth had been used to cover the company's losses. Three million dollars used to seem normal since she often received cooperation proposals worth more than that.The fashion business she was proud of had been destroyed, so she would make any money as long as it did not lower her self-esteem."Are you serious? I never knew that Grandfather owned a farmhouse," Aveline said, confused.Isabella shrugged. "The relevant team contacted me and said that the auditor found a farmhouse in Sawyer Everhart's name.""That is indeed my grandfather's name. But you said someone had already bid on the property?""Exactly. The relevant team couldn't reach you and asked me to relay it to you. It turns out that someone has been bidding on the property since your business went bankrupt."Suspicion grew within Aveline. Since being betrayed by her family, she could not trust anyone."What is the condition of the house?"Isabella immediately took out her cell phone to show the property's det

    The explosion of happiness made Elara unable to respond in time. Cassian had said something about a future girlfriend at the car showroom, but she knew he had told it to save her from the insults of her high school friends.But that also did not mean Cassian intended to give her false hope. He had agreed to spend time with Elara to confirm his decision.Now that his business with Aveline was completely over, he decided to embark on a new journey."I can give you time to come up with an answer," Cassian spoke again as Elara still looked surprised.Elara shook her head. "No, I don't need time to think about it. Let's live together as long as you want!" she shouted excitedly.Her smile grew wider as happiness overflowed in her heart. Her feelings for Cassian were sincere, so she did not expect anything in return from him.She never imagined the opportunity to get to know him better would come. Cassian cared so much about Aveline back then, and Elara had no intention of being a home wreck

    According to Sawyer's claim, Cassian was an orphan with no one else to depend on. Out of pity, he trained him to become a soldier.Stella thought Cassian was using her family, so she never liked him. Her hatred was obvious as she always insulted him at every opportunity.Over the years, Aveline thought of Cassian according to the stories she heard from her grandfather. She did not question his background, thinking it would not benefit her."What is this? Cassian is the last remaining member of the Valoric family?"The tremor in Aveline's voice was the result of shock, anger, and fear. Valoric was a legendary family that had ruled Weltaria for hundreds of years.It was said that Valoric's ancestors founded this country. The power that continued to expand with each generation brought Valoric to the top. All influential people in Weltaria had to bow down to them."This is impossible! How can the Valoric family still exist?"Valoric's legendary glory ended thirty years ago when every memb

    The Valoric family still had supporters even though only Cassian remained. They had been operating in secrecy for the past thirty years. In addition to protecting Cassian, they also investigated the mysterious group that massacred the Valorics.When they fully gathered information about the enemy, they would take revenge by revealing Cassian's identity to the public.Many influential people were Valoric supporters. However, they had to keep this a secret to smooth the revenge plan.Sharon was one of the supporters. She was assigned with Sawyer to guard Cassian in Clion City."I must give my all for this mission," she muttered with determination.Some time ago, Franklin had come to see her to inform her of Cassian's appearance in Lumihtorn.They were both sent to find out which of the President's right-hand men had made the poison to blind Cassian's eyes.This was a dangerous mission since Ronin was the number one man in the country at the moment. Even Sharon was not allowed to be seen

    Elara could not come up with a defense for her behavior. She was indeed guilty of disobeying Cassian's orders and secretly following him.The other members must have had the same desire as her but kept quiet because they did not want to trouble Cassian."I expected you to answer like that," Elara sighed. "You'd be furious if you knew what Commander went through after leaving the military.""That's what I want to know. How is his relationship with Aveline? I heard rumors that she divorced him!"A red tinge spread across Elara's face, recalling the sweet memories of last night with Cassian. The memory made her lose focus and ignore Zeke."Did something happen between you and the Commander?" Zeke asked, his eyes looking sharp and threatening.Elara smirked. "If that's true, what will you do about it? You always lose one-on-one matches with me!""I've progressed now. As soon as Commander left, I was furious and practiced hard!""Stop this ridiculous conversation. Try explaining how you fo

    Alicia laughed at Elara, thinking she was pathetic for putting Olivia down. "How can this cousin of yours be so different? She even slandered her own family to cover up her insecurities!""I know. She doesn't have any good accomplishments, so she has to put others down," Hazel replied in a scornful tone."That's pathetic. But I can understand. Olivia succeeded in her career and even got a great boyfriend!""Exactly! Elara's boyfriend is an ordinary war veteran, a complete downgrade compared to Nathaniel."In the West family, the most beloved grandchild was Olivia. Hazel was sad and upset by this fact, but she was happy that Elara was still under her.Since Elara was considered worthless, the West family did not pay much attention to Hazel. Moreover, Elara acted insolent after returning from the military, making Scott dislike her even more."Are you talking about yourself?" Elara chuckled. "You graduated late from college because you weren't smart enough. That's why you're putting me d

    Elara and Zeke had to control their facial expressions when Garett started bragging about his achievements in business. It seemed he was acting like that to increase his value in front of Zeke."You are a great businessman. No wonder my family partnered with you," Zeke complimented with a fake friendly smile.In the Hawthorne family, Zeke was the only one who did not go into business. He had been interested in being a strong individual since childhood. That's why his parents sent him to the military, worried about him joining the underworld because of his martial arts hobby.His knowledge of business was limited. But he could tell that Garett was exaggerating his accomplishments to look better."I graduated from a top university," Garett continued to brag. "My business started by selling cheap goods before I made my own products!"Elara clapped her hands. "Are you a genius? Your success inspires me!""A businessman's mentality must be strong. It's unfortunate that Lady Rosalie prefers

    "Everything will be fine. I know Vance very well. He won't dare to say anything because it will harm him," Cassian said surely.The reason the Phantom Legion rejected Vance was because he was not a loyal person. He had a talent for handling a group of people and blending into any situation.Cassian used to be the highest authority in the military, so Vance wanted to be one of the people standing next to him.But Cassian knew Vance was an opportunist, not purely supporting him like the others. He was not wrong in his judgment because it was proven now."Vance would be at a disadvantage if he revealed his meeting with me," Cassian continued. "It could cause a major conflict between me and Ronin. He hasn't benefited much from Ronin, so he wants the peaceful situation to continue for a long time."Elara and Zeke immediately understood his words. If Ronin declared hostility to Cassian, his faction would be fighting with the Phantom Legion.The people in his faction did not want that becaus

    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
