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

    Vance staggered back as Cassian approached him. He was one of the people who had bothered Cassian before he was promoted.There were times when Cassian was just a rookie soldier. It was widely known that seniority played a significant role in the military.People in higher positions often bullied rookies. There was nothing special about Cassian except that he had entered on Major Sawyer's recommendation.Cassian performed like an average person until he surprised everyone when he was promoted to second lieutenant. On a quiet night, he defeated everyone in the top ten rank."I've made a mistake. Please forgive me," Vance pleaded, recalling his bad memories with Cassian.On the night referred to as the 'night of reckoning,' Vance was one of the people brutally beaten by Cassian. But that was not what traumatized him. It was the brutal way Cassian mercilessly beat the others.After that night, Cassian declared he would change Weltaria's garbage military system. Although it was successful

    After Ronin removed Cassian from the military, everyone could guess his plan. When the army fell into his hands, the President would hold absolute power in the country.That's why many sided with Ronin; they knew he would rule all of Weltaria in the near future. Cassian's question sounded stupid since everyone could easily guess the President's goal."Apparently, you don't know anything," Cassian concluded after seeing Vance and Asher's confused faces. "Well, I can understand why Ronin didn't tell anyone else. He was afraid of the consequences."Asher was even more confused that Cassian was discussing something he did not understand. "Forgive us, but we don't understand what you're saying.""You will find out later. Well, I have already spared your lives. It's only fair that you pay me the proper price.""W-What do you want from us?"When Cassian was grinning, Vance and Asher knew that the Commander's request would not be easy."You just need to be my spies. Report to me on the presid

    Yash was sure that Cassian's status was higher than Vance's. That's because Cassian and his friends were the first ones out of the VIP room.They returned in good condition, showing Vance dared not do anything to them."I will also compensate you in case you feel uncomfortable," Yash continued with a sly glint in his eye.His demeanor changed drastically because he wanted to establish a connection with Hawthorne and Cassian, although Cassian's true identity was unknown.Elara could clearly read Yash's intentions. There were many people like him, whether in the military or elsewhere.One of the tiring tasks as Cassian's assistant was dealing with people who sucked up to him. But sometimes, there were useful ones among the sycophants."I feel wronged by Peter. He spread false rumors about Cassian and even harmed him!" exclaimed Elara, glaring while keeping both hands on her waist.Zeke nodded. "If you can handle Peter, I'll never forget it."His words had more effect on Yash because he

    Stella and Liam were shocked by Peter's words. The bodyguards arrested them, but they continued to rebel."Sir, what have we done wrong to you? We've never done anything to harm you," Liam asked in confusion."From the beginning, you've been deceiving me!" Peter shouted angrily. "You deliberately offered Aveline because her business was ruined. There wasn't any man after her, was there? Are you guys just making that up?"The confusion in Stella's mind was finally answered. It turned out that Peter had figured out her lie. She had indeed made up the story to make Aveline more attractive.Beauty alone was not enough for Peter because many beautiful women surrounded him. Therefore, Stella lied by saying that many men wanted Aveline.She was furious when Cassian and Max ruined the wedding. However, she took advantage of that because Peter came to believe that many men indeed chased Aveline."I-I'm not lying about that. You saw for yourself that Aveline's ex-husband is still after her.

    "Mom, let's try to contact Aveline again. But this time, we have to apologize to her," Liam suggested with a voice trembling with pain.Stella also had the same thoughts as her son. Aveline was the only person who could help them."Even though we did something bad, I'm sure Aveline will forgive us as usual. We can continue to live a simple life like she wants," Stella spoke while calling Aveline.On the other hand, Aveline was staying at a hotel in Clion with Isabella. She was hiding in a small town because she knew Peter was hunting Cassian."Don't pick up the phone from your mother," Isabella said irritably. "She will definitely ask you to return to Mr. Peter. Cassian and the others went to great lengths to save you, so don't waste their help!"Aveline smiled. Of course, she would not go back to Peter because she had found a more promising target. If she could get Cassian, she could enjoy the Valoric family's endless inheritance."I will speak to my mother one last time," she stated

    Scott glanced around. It was obvious that Tiny Treats' interior was different from that of the main company. This made him even more irritated that Franklin had offered to cooperate with Samuel instead of West Corp."I have confirmed your identity, sir. But there is no notification of your arrival schedule. Do you need anything?" the receptionist spoke smoothly despite being very nervous."Samuel is absent today for an urgent reason, right? He sent me here to replace him.""I'm sorry, but I didn't receive a message regarding that. Please wait a moment. I will contact the relevant department to confirm.""No need," Scott grabbed the receptionist's hand. "Are you doubting me? I'm the owner of West Corp and Samuel's father. How dare you think ill of me!"The receptionist was shaking with fear. According to the procedure, she had to confirm the schedule first. However, since she was aware of Scott's power, she could not fight back to keep her job."You can go up to the sixteenth floor to

    "Why is it like this? Elara should have married Mr. Peter," Scott muttered, puzzled that Peter had bothered to clear Cassian's bad reputation.No one could make Peter apologize except the top people in the organization. Scott was pretty sure that Elara had never said Cassian had connections to the underground."Do you expect your granddaughter to marry Peter?" Franklin growled. "You're such a bad grandfather! I'm not married, but I wouldn't sell the women of my family for money!"Money is often considered the most important thing in this capitalist world. Franklin recognized that, and so he worked hard as a doctor to earn money.However, he would never trade his family for money. He was disgusted by Scott's greed because he did not see Elara as a human being.If only the West family had not sent Elara to war, she would have ended up married to the man of Scott's choice."I have great respect for you, Doctor. But you have no right to comment on my family matters since you are an outsid

    Elara and Cassian quickly got out of the car. They were not expecting to see Brandon beating someone up."Who are you beating up over there?" asked Elara, remembering that this street was where the muggers fought with Zeke. "Is it a mugger? I didn't think they'd still dare to hang around here after last night."Brandon grabbed Liam by the collar and showed Elara his battered face. "I don't know if you recognize him since his face is destroyed. This man is Liam Everhart!" he replied with emotion."What do you mean Liam is Aveline's brother?""I don't know the details, but he's indeed from the Everhart family, the one who made Lieutenant Asher misunderstand our family!"There was only one Liam associated with the Twilight incident. Elara invited Brandon to meet here to see if her cousin really wanted to join the underground. She did not expect to see Liam again."His mom is here too," Brandon dropped Liam's body near Stella. "He said the bad guys left them and asked for my help."Liam c

    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.
