The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 182
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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 183
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 Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 184
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

An important person from the underground was unlikely to step in to handle such a trivial matter. Silas was as surprised as the others because he did not expect Yash's target to be Cassian."What has this guy done that you're looking for him?" Silas asked curiously.Yash tightened his grip on Cassian's shoulder to threaten. "This man is brave enough to find trouble with our affiliation. He deserves to be rewarded by me for his bravery!"Upon hearing the word affiliation, everyone had no doubt that Yash was indeed from the underground. However, they were more curious about who Cassian had offended."May I know what Cassian has done? I happen to have a problem with him as well," Silas tried to extract information."Since you're also an affiliate, I'll tell you. Peter intended to marry Aveline, Cassian's ex-wife. But Cassian disrupted their wedding and kidnapped the bride. His love for Aveline is admirable!"Because Silas was busy working, he did not have time to listen to gossip. He tho

Blood flowed from the deep wound, and the man screamed in pain as he fell to the floor. Seeing that Elara had taken down one person, the other men immediately prepared to enter the fight.Zeke stepped forward. With full force, he swung his fists at several men who tried to attack him. His punches struck his opponents with enough power to shake the walls, and the burly men were thrown onto the table, which shattered under their bodies.He did not give his opponents a chance to get up. He leaped into the air, kicking another man who tried to get close to him. His kick slammed into his opponent's face, sending him crashing to the floor.Elara, on the other hand, continued to use the shard bottle. She dodged an attack from a man wielding an iron rod, jumped to the side, and reacted swiftly by slicing her opponent's wrist. The opponent stumbled and whimpered in pain.Tables and chairs were scattered all over the bar. Loud banging sounds and screams of pain accompanied each of Zeke and Elar

Yash approached Vance, ignoring the change in the General's face as he thought it was normal for Vance's mood to change quickly."From your expression, I can guess that you're also annoyed at these two. They dare to challenge the underground just because they can do a little martial arts," Yash said with irritation.Sometimes, he needed to face stronger opponents. But he was never this angry because the stronger people he encountered had clear backgrounds.That was in stark contrast to Zeke and Elara, whose faces were not famous anywhere. They had humiliated Yash in front of many people by defeating his subordinates.Although the customers did not dare gossip because of Vance's appearance, Yash was sure people would be talking about this incident tomorrow."You're forgetting one more person," Silas spoke up after his fear had vanished. He pointed at Cassian and exclaimed, "That guy over there is the worst. He's a veteran who ran away from the battlefield and made trouble with an affil
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 188
Silas forgot about the pain in his ears because he had a bad feeling. Instead of being mesmerized by Zeke's laughter, he felt uncomfortable, as if the apocalypse was about to happen right then and there."Allow me to introduce myself formally. I am Zeke of the Hawthorne family!" Zeke declared, rolling up his shirt sleeve to show off a silver bracelet.The bracelet featured an engraving of a hawthorn tree surrounded by thorns and white flowers. Instantly, everyone recognized the engraving on the bracelet as the Hawthorne family crest.Although Emberlight was tier one, it could not compare to Hawthorne, which had always been the highest-ranked family.Some families that had been hit tier one level sometimes went bankrupt and fell in the rankings. Even Emberlight experienced this when the crisis occurred.However, Hawthorne had stood strong in all situations. The family had always managed to make business fit when the crisis hit. As a result, Hawthorne never went bankrupt despite the dif

In the VIP room, Vance and Asher knelt on the floor while Cassian sat comfortably on the sofa. Zeke and Elara, who had just entered, immediately stood behind him."Take it easy. I'm not the grim reaper who wants to take your life," Cassian said.Vance clenched his fists. He hated it when someone forced him to submit like this. Cassian did not ask him and Asher to kneel.They both naturally did it out of fear. Even though Cassian no longer gave off a creepy aura, they were still afraid of him because they remembered his crazy actions in the military."Commander, I had no idea that we would meet here. I was late in greeting you because of the strange situation," Vance explained, not daring to raise his head."It seems that the floor caught your attention more, huh," Cassian joked as he lifted Vance's chin with his foot, forcing the General to look at him. "I taught you once that eye contact is important. Did you forget that?"Vance shook his head. "I-It's not like that. I find it rude t

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
