The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 16
Scott's face tensed up in anger. He could not believe Cassian still dared to interfere after being threatened by him."You seem to have grown bold just because you are a soldier," he scoffed at Cassian. "But this isn't a battlefield where you will be praised for your bravery. You will die young if you behave like this in front of a first-tier family!"Since Cassian was not afraid of the second-tier West family, Scott deliberately brought in the first-tier family to pressure him. Even if someone had been on the battlefield, they should have known that first-tier families were influential.An ordinary soldier who did not come from any great family like Cassian would tremble in fear. The first-tier families could destroy anyone they wanted in this country."And the West family will soon become a first-tier family. Bridge Point will help us achieve that position," Scott continued.But even after those words, Cassian remained unaffected. His gaze seemed to say that any family did not matte
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 17
Elara chose not to reach out to Logan after finding out what Cassian wanted. Her attention returned to the West family who were still happy about the partnership with Bridge Point.Her parents stood awkwardly among the others because no one cared about them. The West family treated her parents like they did not exist."You're right. We can make things more interesting," Elara muttered, remembering that her family had looked down upon her for years.It would not be fun if she finished them in one fell swoop. She wanted them to go through the same agony as her and her parents.Scott winced as he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he found Cassian and Elara smiling at him."Are you still refusing to admit that you were wrong?" he gave Elara a sharp look."I have done nothing wrong, Grandpa," Elara replied casually."So, you still think you're the one who helped the West family?""That's the truth."Olivia's forehead wrinkled, and her lips pouted. "If you were really close t
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 18
Jesse, the waiter, noticed that Cassian and Liam's looks were as different as heaven and earth. Cassian was only wearing simple clothes that were not made of quality materials.One would even think Rivera Restaurant's napkins were more expensive than Cassian's attires. Meanwhile, Liam looked luxurious in a navy suit from Ruff Lauren.His nice Oxford shoes were made by the luxury brand Silktoni. His shiny cufflinks must have been picked from another fancy brand for his style."Why haven't you made up your mind yet?" Liam was getting annoyed with Jesse, who was paying attention to him and Cassian instead.Pointing at Cassian again, he continued, "Look at this guy's cheap suit. Are there any Riveria customers who wear clothes like that?""The quality of the restaurant will go down if you let people like them in," Ruby threw a disgusted look at Cassian and Elara as if they were dirt.She deliberately tucked her hair into her ears to show off her diamond earrings from Carptier. It was this
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 19
Liam was surprised that Cassian knew about the termination of Bridge Point's partnership with Aveline's business. He only knew the short story from his sister and did not listen further because Ruby asked for a dinner date.'How could this loser know about that?' he thought suspiciously.It seemed that Stella's guess was correct. Cassian was the one who caused Bridge Point not to renew the cooperation contract.Worried that Aveline's ex-husband would tarnish the company's reputation, Logan decided to postpone the cooperation.That was what Liam believed at the moment. But he did not want to ask Cassian about it, fearing that Ruby would know about the partnership termination."What are you talking about? Your head must have been hurt on the way here for you to say such nonsensical things," Liam tried to look confident.Ruby, who knew nothing, backed him up. "Only certain people know Bridge Point's decision tonight. You're obviously a nobody!""Neither are you. You don't know anything b

The lobby was silent for a moment before it was filled with Liam's loud laughter. He was surprised to see Cassian pull out the card. He did not expect that Cassian would still dare to make trouble with him."Private room? Now I'm sure you've completely lost your mind," Liam taunted, his stomach hurting from laughing so much.Only VIP customers could access the private room at the Riveria Restaurant. Liam could not even get one despite begging Aveline for a week.The requirements to become a VIP customer were to have an influential position in the country, abundant wealth, a good reputation, and to be from at least a second-tier family.Before Cassian married Aveline, Liam knew him as an ordinary soldier brought by Sawyer, his grandfather.If Cassian's background were so excellent, Sawyer would definitely treat him with great respect. Before Sawyer died, Cassian respected him and never acted insolently.That was why Liam believed Cassian was just a lucky person his grandfather picked u
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 21
"There's no way that crazy guy is a VIP customer," Ruby muttered in disbelief.She looked at Cassian who disappeared from her sight as he turned the corner. Jesse said he would take him and Elara to a private room.It still irritated and embarrassed her. She could not believe someone in ordinary clothes and an old car was a VIP customer."Is it possible he faked the card?" Ruby bit her thumb, unable to accept the fact that Cassian was better than her boyfriend.Liam nodded in agreement. "Cassian is just an ordinary soldier. There's no great family behind him. I'm sure that card is a fake!""It's a pity that the servant was fooled by him. Soon, people will be talking about the news of the fraud at Riveria Restaurant.""I'm so embarrassed to have known a failure like him!"Although Liam and Ruby insulted Cassian, they secretly thought that the supreme VIP card was genuine. To become a worker at the Riveria Restaurant was not easy.One had to have a clean background and go through specia

Liam could not believe Aveline had just given up on the house. "Cassian cheated on you, and you're going to let him keep the house?" he sneered."I'd have to find evidence of his adultery to sue him. But I want nothing to do with him," Aveline replied in a cold tone."I can't accept my sister being treated like that by that loser! You can't give up the house!""You're so noisy. Just do as I say!"The house issue could not be resolved over the phone so Liam gave up for now. But he was irritated that his sister did not care about his problem."If you don't contact Mr. Logan, our family's reputation will suffer. It might affect your business!"Aveline massaged her dizzy head. Since Liam had brought up Logan's name, things had gotten worse.For the past three years, she had been with Logan frequently to discuss business. Although their relationship seemed close, she did not dare to use his name carelessly.Logan was on another level. He was the brains behind the number one company in Lumi
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 23
"Sorry, I just..."Elara was overwhelmed by Cassian's silence. She turned her face away in shame and explained frantically."I should have asked your permission first. I'm sorry. You can be mad at me if you don't like it!"Cassian touched his cheek, recalling what Elara had just done. This was the first time they had ever been this close.He had never thought of such a possibility. While on the battlefield, he and Elara were busy resolving conflicts.There was no special interaction between them. They were really just a commander and an assistant.Besides, the only woman Cassian had in mind was Aveline. He cared about her, so he mobilized his connections to help her business."A-Are you angry?" asked Elara uneasily, beginning to regret her impulsive actions. The atmosphere tempted her to touch Cassian, the person she had admired all along.She did not dare to touch Cassian like that before because she thought of his relationship with Aveline. Since they were already divorced, she unco

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

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…"
Chapter 391
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

The opening of the emergency meeting did not give enough motivation for those present to open their eyes fully. Most of them were still yawning, silently complaining that they should have been able to sleep peacefully tonight.Only a few of them seemed serious, including the Minister of Defense, Virgil. He had already sensed something was wrong since Ronin and the Commander never had a good relationship. Slowly but surely, Weltaria would suffer from the decisions of those two influential figures."Mr. President, sorry to interrupt. Is it true that the Narman Empire has declared war?" Virgil asked, still finding it hard to believe that Arlo would break the agreement.Ronin let out a heavy sigh as if he were the most exhausted one in the room. With a wave of his hand, he signaled Jolene to play the recording of the call between Arlo and him."I was reviewing a military training report when I received that call," Ronin lied, making Jolene slightly frown because she knew the President was

Cassian's departure from the military gave Ronin a huge advantage, as he had always been worried about the Commander's popularity. Now, with full control over the military, Ronin finally felt like a true leader. He was so blinded by power that he ignored the possibility of Arlo betraying him.Every time a thought like that crossed his mind, he would always push it away, convinced that he and Arlo had the same enemy. But in truth, Arlo never saw him as a partner. He saw him purely as a servant, just as Elara had said.Ronin's eyes twitched and narrowed as he recalled Elara's insult. He returned to her, not with violence but with suspicion."Wait a minute. Not long ago, you called me Emperor Arlo's slave. Does that mean you know about our secret cooperation?" he asked, hoping for a no.But Elara gave a firm nod. "Phantom Legion has an intelligence division. Why do you think Weltaria has the upper hand in this war with Narman? It's because we planted spies to monitor Emperor Arlo's movem
