The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 160
Some guests did not know about Cassian's rumors, so they became loud. Moreover, war had been a sensitive topic since the Great Commander disappeared.Many speculated that the Commander had been seriously injured after fighting in the war against Narman.Therefore, it was only natural for people to be angry when they heard of soldiers running away from the battlefield. The guests at the party also reacted aggressively to the Cassian rumor."A widowman is fine. I have no problem with that. But a veteran who ran away from the war? What a shame!""Gosh, it must make the Great Commander sad that our country has such a loser!"Nathaniel smiled happily as he made the guests angry at Cassian again. He would not let Cassian leave the party quietly after his girlfriend had been humiliated."Honey, you don't need to expose other people's shame," Olivia said, pretending to sympathize. "Looks like Cassian and Elara ran away together. They weren't invited to the Grand Ceremony by Mr. President."Th

Scott wanted to cheer because of Zeke's gift. It turned out that Elara did have a connection with Zeke, as she had claimed. But there was a problem he needed to solve first.The ones he was going to evict were Cassian and Elara. The guests were mad that they would not accept any explanation.However, the misunderstanding was cleared up due to Curtis' unexpected arrival. Now, it was Olivia's turn to receive her punishment.Emily did not want her daughter to be humiliated a second time. She spoke irritably to Elara, "You're the one who created this misunderstanding. If you hadn't brought that strange man along, our family would have been fine!""That's right. Cassian is always the cause of trouble at this party. It shows that he's problematic," Thomas added.Seeing the couple continue to be rude made Rosalie furious. "How can you still defend your daughter? This is why I canceled the partnership with West Corp. Olivia doesn't deserve to be CEO because of that terrible trait!"The guests

Scott exhaled harshly as the guests became noisy again. The family drama should have ended some time ago, but Samuel had made the atmosphere unpleasant again."How come WBL is working with Tiny Treats? I bet you've never met Doctor Franklin before," Scott said suspiciously.Samuel replied with confidence, "I was surprised, too. But he saw that Tiny Treats had potential. That's why he offered the recipe for this drink to be produced by my company!""What potential? Isn't your company in debt?""You must know that I've built a new and better factory. I sent proposals for cooperation to many companies. WBL is interested in my company and has submitted a proposal."Every word that came out of Samuel's mouth made less and less sense. There was no way a company as big as WBL would submit a proposal for Tiny Treats, which was in financial trouble.Even Thomas could not help but burst out laughing. "Are you drunk? You speak strange things, brother!""He might have taken certain drugs due to d
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 163
Tiny Treats was West Corp's least profitable subsidiary. For this reason, Scott could not accept Samuel's company managing Franklin's product.He also feared Samuel would use the partnership with WBL to pressure him. Therefore, he would try to get the recipe at any cost."I agree with you," said Thomas, who had the same thoughts as Scott. "Your company is still growing. It's different from the main company, which has good facilities."Scott added, "The product can definitely be produced well with complete facilities."No matter how much the two people persuaded Samuel, he would not be swayed. He was determined to rise to the top.He would remain at the bottom if he submitted to his father and brother. Whether he liked to or not, he had to confront them this time."I'm sorry, but WBL won't share the recipe with even the main company," he refused firmly.Thomas winced in exasperation. "But with that small company of yours, you'll lack the workforce and means to produce products in large
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 164
Since Samuel and Hannah gave such fantastic gifts, the guests expected Elara to at least give a gift on par with her parents.They did not know where Samuel got the gold card, which made them even more curious.After all these years, Samuel's family had finally moved up a level. They were no longer a laughing stock and considered a West family disgrace."It turns out that hard work will bring us luck, as happened to Samuel," Vanya commented.Rosalie nodded. "Yes, I agree. I heard that luck only comes to those who never give up.""We have the same thoughts. I wonder if you'll continue working with West Corp. They're already connected to the WBL now.""You're right. Other companies must be competing because Samuel has gotten Doctor Franklin's attention."Actually, Rosalie came to this party to mend fences with West Corp. She was going to do that to help Elara.But she did not expect that she would get a surprise. No wonder Cassian had unusual medical knowledge. She was convinced that Ca

The guests agreed with Scott's statement. After Zeke's super gift, Alistair's painting was the second best.Olivia lost her grin when she realized Silent Night at Wisteria Lake was more expensive than all the paintings she'd bought."How can Elara buy Alistair Montclair's painting? It's hard to get. I heard all his paintings have been sold to museums and rich collectors," Gwen muttered in confusion.Preston, her husband, had the same reaction. "That painting is very similar to Alistair's style. But it may be a fake."He had been holding back his annoyance ever since Samuel showed up looking fancy. Samuel was usually the subject of ridicule.In that situation, people would praise Preston because he could give a better gift. But his current gift was a big failure compared to Samuel!"Father-in-law, I think we should get an art expert in here," Preston said as he stood up from his chair. "As an art connoisseur, you must realize that all of Alistair Montclair's paintings are sold out."Sc

"Grandpa, I'm glad you like my gift. It's also my apology for troubling you back then," Elara said, remembering her parents asking her to apologize.Scott immediately recalled the terrible incident with the Twilight. However, he did not mind that now that everything was fine."I accept your apology. Let's have tea together next time!""Sure. But I don't think spending so much time discussing my gift is good. Aren't the others also waiting to give their gifts?"Elara said after her hug with Scott ended. She deliberately smirked at Olivia when she realized her cousin was making an angry frown."You're right. I'll continue with the party," Scott answered, returning to his seat.The rest of the West family continued to present their best gifts. But they all looked ordinary to the guests.Even Nathaniel's custom shoes from a luxury brand did not impress anyone. They could not come up with a better gift than Zeke's helicopter and Alistair Montclair's painting.Curtis was finally called by t

Brandon wanted to follow Elara because he was curious about the incident at Peter's wedding. However, his parents forced him to stay and socialize with the others."I heard you studied abroad," Vanya said, looking at Brandon from head to toe."Yes, my son is majoring in business management," Emily replied with pride. "Soon, he'll graduate and follow in his sister's footsteps. I'm sure he can continue the West family business.""Someone told me that your son used to get into trouble when he was in school.""That's just an old story. Now Brandon has really changed into a better person."Although Emily put on a sweet smile, she was actually cursing Vanya inwardly. She hated whenever people brought up her son's past.No matter what, she would encourage Brandon to enter the business world. If he got an important position like Olivia, then the support for Thomas would grow even more.Thus, Thomas would become the heir and beat his two brothers. Emily was sure that Samuel would get a little

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
Chapter 395
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
