The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 165
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

"Isn't this Elara's boyfriend? Why is his picture here?" asked Gwen in wonder. She thought Cassian was an honorable war veteran because Zeke got to know him.Unexpectedly, it turned out that Cassian was the crazy person who dared to get into trouble with Peter. What's more, the explanation Peter gave about Cassian made anyone think of him as a loser.[This man is Cassian, Aveline's ex-husband, who is also my future wife. He ruined our wedding party by asking for Max's help out of spite of being divorced by Aveline. Now, he's still kidnapping my future wife.Anyone who can bring him to me alive will be given one million dollars. I just want him alive so I can torture him!]Scott's face turned red with anger. Just now, he was happy that Elara had given him Alistair's painting, but the message shattered his mood in an instant.He gripped his phone tightly and snapped at Samuel, "What the hell? Why are you allowing your daughter to hang out with an asshole?""I don't know what's going on

Peter's laughter echoed throughout the room. "Do you think I care about her trauma? Whatever the reason, she's already ruined my happy day!" he roared."My family has nothing to do with that. Elara has been affected by a crazy man named Cassian. We never taught her to be impudent," Scott replied, waiting for Peter's next words with his heart racing.He did not mind if Peter asked for monetary compensation. However, it would be a different story if Peter had ordered underground organizations to destroy his business.That was a nightmare Scott had never thought of before. He had always adjusted his attitude towards those above him so that he could run his business safely.All his efforts were destroyed in an instant just because of Elara. No wonder she directly left the party. It turned out that she was deliberately avoiding the West family's anger."I'll do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness," Scott continued, worrying over Peter's silence. "But please don't touch my business.
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 170
Samuel's happiness at getting a cooperation offer from Doctor Franklin disappeared. The contract with WBL could not be used to save Elara.Again, he became a useless father. He was still the loser in the West family."Just let Elara go. If she marries Mr. Peter, maybe you'll get some financial help from him," Thomas said with a scornful smile.The unbearable anger triggered Samuel to act aggressively. For the first time in his life, he threw his fist at Thomas' face.Everyone gasped in shock as Thomas flew and landed hard on the ground. No one had anticipated Samuel's sudden attack."What the hell are you doing? You shouldn't take your anger out on my husband!" Emily shouted furiously and threw a wine bottle at Samuel.The broken bottle woke Samuel up. He was shocked to see blood on his fist. It was not his blood, but Thomas's that dripped from the cut on his lip where he got hit.Limping, Thomas got up and ran to counterattack. But Scott quickly held him back.He shouted at Samuel, "

"I-I don't know anything else," Garett stammered. "All I know is that the Viperaider is a poisonous spider developed secretly by the military."Cassian released Garett's fingers. "How did you get into the President's faction?""Anyone can get in if they have money and a reputation. I registered myself and was well received.""What are the activities of the faction?""We often talk about state matters such as politics. I don't know about other military assets spread by the faction.""Alright then. I'll find out elsewhere."A sigh of relief escaped Garett's mouth. It seemed that Cassian would be kind because of his poor condition.But he was wrong. Cassian touched his little finger again, breaking it like a fragile branch.There was a horrible cracking sound, accompanied by Garett's screams of pain, that filled the room. His face turned pale, cold sweat running down his temples."Why are you doing this to me? I told you the truth!" he cried out in pain.Cassian stroked Garett's ring fin
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 172
The Viperaider Spider was created to take out targets without raising suspicion. Its bite was not felt, so the targets would not realize something bad had gotten to them.The targets fell into a coma and died slowly. Because the distance between being bitten and the target's death was relatively long, it gave the impression of hope for a cure even though the antidote was only owned by the Weltarian military.To use the Viperaider required a high rank and special permission. No wonder Cassian was furious when Garett downplayed the effects of using the Viperaider."P-Please forgive me! A grudge against Dalton blinded me. But he was saved in the end, thanks to you!"With all his might, Garett moved his body to rest on Cassian's legs. Every second passed like centuries to him.He took back his words about the aura. It turned out that people gave Cassian the nickname God of War, not without reason.Garett now knew that stories about Cassian's prowess on the battlefield were not exaggerated

The guests gathered in a crowd, trying to figure out what was happening. Some of them left right away, disgusted by Cassian's brutal actions. Just like he stated, Emily could still move and scream, even though there was a hole in her forehead."Arghhh, what's happening to me? Someone help me!" Emily screamed hysterically, covering her wound, hoping that not too much blood would spill out.Olivia threw a flower vase at Cassian, but he caught it easily and smirked. She swallowed hard, realizing she could not do anything against him."G-Guards, arrest this maniac! He's committed another crime!" she shouted."Darling, hang in there! I've called an ambulance," Thomas said, sitting on the floor and pulling Emily into his arms. His eyes turned red with anger as he glared at Cassian. "Do you know who's backing the West family now? You'll regret this when you find out!"Scott, initially afraid, began to regain his confidence thanks to Thomas's words. He stood straight and spoke with pride: "Pr

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
