The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 136
"I should have punished Olivia harshly," Scott said regretfully.Becoming a member of the noble community was his dream. However, Ace rejected him because his wealth did not meet the requirements.Besides, he also did not have close connections with the community members. His reputation had improved slightly since Logan had given West Corp a gold-level partnership.His anger returned as he remembered that one mistake had wasted his efforts. "I must punish Olivia severely so that she won't dare to make trouble again!" he exclaimed with determination."I agree. You can't spoil her anymore. The mistake she made was fatal," Hazel responded boldly.Thomas and Emily wanted to slap Hazel's mouth to make her stop talking. However, they could not do that because their daughter had been proven guilty."Dad, this is the first time Olivia has made a big deal. Everyone gets into trouble at some point," Thomas said gently.Unfortunately, Scott was still in a bad mood, so he slapped his eldest son a

Elara had not visited her parents' house because she was busy with matters that needed to be sorted out. Only now did she realize something was wrong because her parents did not invite her to their home."Did something happen to our house?" she asked."It's a long story," Samuel hid his true feelings with a weak smile. "You'll find out later."Despite her curiosity, Elara did not force her parents to tell her the truth. She could sense that Samuel was struggling to explain what happened.Her father only gave her the address of a small housing estate on the city's outskirts. This further strengthened her suspicion that her parents' house was in trouble."Now we live here," Hannah said as they reached their destination.Housing in the suburbs would not be sought by the rich; only minimum-wage people lived there.The housing estate residents frowned in surprise at Elara's luxurious car. Since it was a small estate, the residents did not have enough money to buy a car.They used public tr

Franklin responded to the president calmly. He had already read the information about Ronin sent by Cassian.As such, he had already predicted how Ronin would react to his attitude. He smiled, "I received a message regarding my partnership with Tiny Treats. It was important, so I had to check it out immediately.""Isn't that a company owned by West Corp?" Ronin rubbed his chin.Unlike Phantom Legion members who did not care about backgrounds, Ronin cared a lot because it could affect his position.Since he controlled the military now, he could easily obtain data regarding Elara. He eventually learned that the Great Commander's assistant was from the West family."Do you have a special relationship with the West family?" asked Ronin suspiciously. It was possible that Franklin was a spy sent by Elara.Franklin responded with a puzzled frown. "Why do you look so serious? This is just a cooperation to enhance my good reputation.""What do you mean?""Tiny Treats is a company that almost w

Anyone who followed medical developments in Weltaria had to know about Wilder Bio Labs. It was a leading biotechnology company established to develop innovative medicine research and solutions.The founder of WBL was Franklin. Many invested in his company because his research was always successful.Thanks to advanced technology, WBL could develop new medications. The company was even trusted to create vaccines when new viruses emerged."Are you drunk?" Samuel could not believe what Mara was saying, so he thought she was out of her mind.Mara burst out laughing. "I understand you're surprised. But this is absolutely real! I've sent you a copy of the cooperation proposal."While Samuel read the proposal, Hannah asked curiously, "Is there any good news? You don't look as tense as you usually do when receiving company calls."Hannah was currently entertaining Cassian with the best of her cooking. She did not mind Cassian's presence, considering he had saved her husband's life.Elara was i

The lunch turned out to be a delightful experience. Elara's parents' doubts about Cassian had completely disappeared.They no longer saw him as a strange man intent on harming their daughter. After hearing his sincerity for Elara, they were convinced he really cared for her."What will you do after this?" asked Elara once lunch ended.Samuel answered without hesitation, "I feel well now. I'd better go to the company to take care of the cooperation proposal!""Don't push yourself too hard. I have plenty of free time since I took time off to prepare for Grandpa's birthday."The happiness that originally filled the room slowly dimmed. Samuel and Hannah both had dark expressions. For them, Scott's birthday was a reminder that they were failures.The guests always compared Samuel's success to his other two brothers. That was because he always showed up in simple clothes and could not afford to give Scott a fancy gift."I haven't prepared anything yet because I'm focused on recovery. What k

More and more people were crowding Cassian because of his controversial statement. Anyone who visited the Vintage Finds shop knew Tabitha.As she claimed, she was professionally certified for her skills. She often traveled abroad to confirm new antique discoveries.Naturally, people were angry and laughed at Cassian. His words sounded absurd to them."How did you conclude that this sword is a fake? Did you ever study at an art institute?" Tabitha sneered.An old woman with a flashy fashion style also sneered at Cassian. "I am Vanya of the Avian family. I have often used Miss Tabitha's services. How dare you doubt her!"Avian was a famous family in the city because it was on par with the Greythorn. These two families had consistently occupied tier one since the hierarchy was created.It proved that the businesses led by these families never suffered losses. Several wealthy families in Lumithorn had risen to the first tier, but none could maintain their wealth like the Greythorn and Avi

Elara was surprised by Humphrey's unexpected appearance. Due to their busy schedules, Cassian and Humphrey never met in person.They had only ever communicated when discussing arming funds. That meant Humphrey did not know Cassian's face."Why are you supporting this man?" asked Vanya, representing Elara's astonishment and the others.Usually, the rich would not respond to issues like this. They valued their time, especially top people like Humphrey.He could have just ignored this matter and left after finishing his business. Surprisingly, he took the time to meditate.Humphrey smiled as he realized people's curiosity. Then, he explained why."I succeeded in my business because I always listened to other people's opinions, even if they were socially inferior to me."The courage this man has impressed me. He reminds me of the great people who helped me succeed. I want to hear more of what he has to say!"Cassian did not need Humprehy's help but would take advantage of this situation.
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 143
The antique store in Weltaria was more than just the Vintage Finds. Many other shops had declining sales because Vintage Finds was directly supported by the Greythorn family and had certified curators.Tabitha's accusations against Cassian made sense since many tried to ruin the shop's reputation. Moreover, Cassian seemed to deliberately act controversially to attract attention."Why do you always jump to conclusions before everything is clear? The sword Cassian is talking about hasn't even arrived here yet," Elara finally had a good chance to intervene.Humphrey nodded. "We haven't seen the sword yet, so we can't make any rash conclusions.""But there can't be another sword," Tabitha stood by her opinion. "Since the sword here is real, I'm sure Cassian will just show us a replica!"Annoyed by this argument, Tabitha pulled out her certificate of purchase for Prince Gideon's Sword. It bore the signature of Faye, a well-known dealer who often distributed antiques to shops."Mrs. Faye ha

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
Chapter 397
"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
