The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 177
Zeke had prepared his heart to accept the reality that would shake him. But he could not resist the impact. He fell to the floor and cried out hysterically."I knew my Lord was no ordinary person! I had guessed that he was a noble person!"His facial muscles contracted as he carved out a wide smirk. Any trace of his good looks instantly vanished.Everyone in the room glanced at Zeke with a light smile. Elara received second-hand embarrassment because of Zeke's behavior."Please forgive General Zeke. He was just too excited," Elara spoke up, as it seemed Zeke was still under the influence of euphoria.She bowed her head to everyone there and introduced herself, "I am Elara West, a colonel in charge of a large unit of the armed forces. I am also the assistant to Commander Cassian, who assists him in military operations."Her experience and strategic skills in the military were all she had to offer Valoric. Although West's family base was business, she was not very good at it.She majore

"Does Ronin know Commander's background?" Zeke asked because he could not keep his mouth shut.Sadie shrugged her shoulders. "If he was involved with the incident thirty years ago, then he should know. Lord Cassian was kind enough to share some secret Valoric martial arts techniques with the military.""So, does he know or not?""Most likely, he did. But he never told the core members of his faction that the Valoric bloodline was still alive, so I can't give a definitive answer. He only asked his hacker group to find out secret information about Valoric."Zeke paused, his mind trying to pull out the clues left behind by Ronin. When Weltaria was still in conflict with Narman, the President was kind to Cassian.All of Cassian's requests were always complied with by Ronin, such as improving military facilities. For this reason, many thought their relationship was very good.However, Ronin's attitude changed drastically after Weltaria won the war. He stated that it was his negotiation ski

"Let's get out of here too," Cassian said as the others left the headquarters.Elara and Zeke nodded, following him who took a different route when they entered earlier.Even though the route was different, they returned to the original path. A staff member was waiting for them to exit and helped them out of the secret passage."Everything is safe," said the staff member with Arnold's nametag. "No one will suspect anything even if they check the CCTV footage."Cassian thanked Arnold before exiting the washroom. There were several secret passages leading to Valoric's headquarters.Only the supporters knew about them. The underground tunnel with the maze had been built a long time ago.Due to the maze's complicated route, intruders had a hard time finding the headquarters and most likely ended up miserable due to the traps set at several points.The grocery store was one of the places where the secret passage to the headquarters took place. It was owned by Pamela Erickson, the fourth ri

Samuel, who had always failed, suddenly became lucky, thanks to Doctor Franklin. This upset Scott because he really wanted to work with WBL.However, an incompetent person got the chance instead. Of course, Scott's pride was hurt. He thought Samuel was not better than him; he should have gotten the cooperation proposal.His anger could no longer be contained when he knew Elara was causing trouble, and Samuel hit Thomas, the son who had helped him run the family business all this time.Thomas secretly laughed. If this was Scott's reaction, then it was obvious that Samuel would be kicked out of the family sooner or later."I'm sorry, Father. I don't want you to hate Samuel too much. He's innocent. Elara brought trouble to our family, not him," Thomas said, pretending to be the wise eldest son.Scott banged the table, making everyone gasp in shock. "I don't care who's wrong. They both pissed me off today!" he exclaimed.Gwen massaged Scott's shoulder. "Don't be so angry. It's not good fo

"I-I didn't know it would come to this," Gwen stammered. "No one knew that Mr. Garett would have an accident! It was out of my control!"Although her words made sense, the Wests did not care because Preston had made them buy the shares.Roy snapped, "Didn't you say you'd take responsibility for everything? If the value of my investment is drastically reduced, you'll have to compensate me!""I agree. You've deceived us all. You have to take responsibility for our losses," Brandon growled. He would use the savings to treat people in Twilight to be close to them.While the others fussed, Scott quickly opened the trading app. The stock exchange in Weltaria had three sessions for regular trading hours.There were still a few minutes left before the last session closed. If the regular trading hours ended, people would have to wait until the next day for the first session to sell or buy stocks."Instead of all this noise, it's better to sell your stocks quickly!" yelled Scott, annoyed by the

The man with burns on one side of his face was Elias, Twilight's boss for the capital. He often came to the Crimson Bar to meet his clients.His meeting with Cassian was not planned. Since the bounty was publicized, he found out about Cassian because Max's picture was also circulating.However, no one dared to hunt Max down since he was Twilight's boss at the Lumithorn branch. The bounty hunters were obviously after Cassian, which caused him to flee to the capital."I thought that Cassian was strong enough to offend Peter. But he looks like an ordinary person who would run away at the sight of me," Elias muttered in disappointment.He had no idea what was happening in Lumithorn since Max had kept it a secret. The news that Lieutenant Asher had gone there had been rumored for a long time.Unfortunately, Max chose to keep his mouth shut. Elias was even more curious because Max ruined Peter's wedding party with a strange man named Cassian."What is Max really thinking? I'm sure he wouldn

Goosebumps ran through Peter's body. He had been an affiliate of the underground for many years, so he knew Yash's character by heart.An affiliate's obligation was to give a certain amount of money to specific organizations for protection and other benefits.A tragic end was once experienced by an affiliate due to a failure to do their duty. Peter would never forget the expression of the man whose head was hung at the affiliate meeting place.That's what would happen if an affiliate was betrayed or an outsider tried to harm underground people. Yash, who was called the Executor, was in charge of handling that."Have fun for as long as you want. But I hope you can bring the target to me tomorrow," Peter said.Yash stopped laughing. "It's no fun if I torture the target for a day. But since you seem to want that Cassian so badly, I'll return him tomorrow after he's broken.""I'll wait for good news from you."Peter just needed to wait while having fun. He could entrust everything to Yash

The Crimson was an elite bar, so the customers here were wealthy or at least had enough money in their savings.Everyone must know Emberlight, who ran a big manufacturing business. Zeke seemed to be from out of town, so he was unfamiliar with the wealthy families in the capital."Stop being so arrogant. That guy in front of you is no match for you," the female bartender whispered to Zeke out of pity.Although Zeke had spent thousands of dollars on drinks, the bartender was sure he'd spent his savings to impress his two friends.If Zeke was wealthy, he would have rented a VIP room like Silas always did. His choice of a bar counter was indicative of his financial situation."How can you conclude that this jerk is stronger than me?" Zeke retorted with an annoyed eyeball roll.The bartender was surprised to see Zeke maintain his haughty manner. "Are you from out of town? Emberlight is an influential family here. You have to respect the social hierarchy of the rich to survive.""Thanks to

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
