Samuel was happy with the second investment he received from Scott, so he took Elara and Hannah to lunch at a fancy restaurant. It was supposed to be a private celebration, but he decided to bring Cassian after some consideration.

"Brother, have you forgotten about me?" Roy suddenly approached Samuel. He did not go home when he heard his brother would have lunch together. "I want to celebrate your victory, too!"

This had never happened before, as Roy had always sided with Thomas. His unexpected change of attitude surprised Samuel, signaling a change of heart.

"Uncle, it's been long since we've eaten together. We haven't even welcomed Elara back from the battlefield. How about we celebrate today?" Hazel joined in with sweet words.

Although confused, Samuel happily received Roy and Hazel. "Roy, you've invested in my company. How could I refuse you? You can join us for lunch at Riveria!"

To get a table at Riveria, you have to make a reservation in advance. Samuel used some of his savings

    Renee just looked at Cassian's hand, having no intention of accepting it as if it were a nest of germs. She threw a glare at Samuel and Roy."Did this disrespectful man come with you?" she asked in a scornful tone.The West family was still in the second tier, so Samuel and Roy were upset by Cassian's bold attitude. Since they had allowed him to join them, they would be the ones responsible."Please forgive Cassian. He is a war veteran, so his attitude is still harsh," Samuel clarified quickly.Since the Weltarians were still affected by the victory of the war, Samuel hoped that Renee would be kind enough to forgive Cassian. Most people have high respect for soldiers, even those who have retired.Unfortunately, Renee was different since she did not care much about politics or the security of the country. Even when the government asked for a representative from the Starling family, she advised her husband to give funds.Thus, Nathaniel was not sent to the battlefield. Only Leon had con

    Nathaniel was the most surprised by Leon's statement. Before being sent to the battlefield, Leon was a spoiled brat who loved to splurge and had no interest in learning business.After returning from the battlefield, he surprised everyone with his change in attitude. The business, originally uninteresting to him, became his obsession, which he studied for ten hours every day.As a result, he was able to take over his parents' company within a year. Everyone was astonished to find that the spoiled Leon had a brain.When people asked him why he had changed, he replied that his platoon leader had advised him to stand on his own strength."So, Cassian is the leader you told me about?" asked Nathaniel skeptically. Since Leon entered the family business, his position was endangered because his cousin became a good performer.Unexpectedly, Leon was inspired by Cassian, who had annoyed Nathaniel since the beginning of his appearance.Leon nodded and approached Cassian to shake hands. He said

    Samuel and Roy did not say anything when Renee was angry for fear of saying the wrong thing. The West family would be dragged into trouble if they worsened the atmosphere.But unpredictably, Betsy took control of the situation in a surprising turn. Instead of criticizing Cassian's attitude, she praised him and even invited the Wests to watch the Brilliant Duo's concert from the front table!"Madam, it is an honor for us to enjoy the music with you," Roy said quickly."We are grateful that you did not mind Cassian's behavior," Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Cassian would make trouble again. "But I was hesitant to accept your kindness. Would it be okay if we joined your family?"Theo snapped, "You should realize you don't belong to us! I don't want to be near a West family burden like you!"The insult made Samuel and Hannah gasp in shock. Because of the cooperation with WBL, they forgot they were still considered a burden yesterday."My father just signed a c

    The front tables were only occupied by people from tier-one families, such as the Avians and the Greythorns. This time, the Starlings also joined since they had already leveled up."It's good to see you again," Betsy greeted Dalton, who had mysteriously taken a month off. The rumors that he was seriously ill seemed false since he looked fine.Dalton nodded his head. "I took time off to refresh my mind. But I kept thinking about my hard-working grandchildren, especially Rosalie. That's why I decided to go back to work."Theo was eager to get close to the other tier-one families, so he became friendly with Dalton. "Lady Rosalie handles the GT Group well. I am in awe of her talent. If you have time, I hope we can have dinner together."Compliments are the most essential way to curry favor with influential people. A polite person like Dalton would take the compliment well. That was why Theo opened the conversation by complimenting Rosalie, who was now accompanying his grandfather."Do you

    None of the VIP customers at the front table took issue with the West family's presence, so the event continued peacefully. The waiters swiftly brought out the next course of food while Ava and Julian began to press the piano keys.The soft music pampered the listeners' ears, fitting perfectly with their delicious food. The music ended an hour later. Ava and Julian were famous musicians, so they could not stay long for one performance."It's a shame I couldn't enjoy their performance for longer. I really like their gentle style of music," Rosalie commented as she watched the staff cleaning up the music equipment.Elara nodded in agreement. "This is the first time I've heard a music performance in private. Now I understand why people love music!""Ava and Julia are great. I heard they just played for Mr. President this morning.""Their talent must be amazing to be appreciated by Mr. President."Although Elara conversed normally, she wondered what the pianist duo's relationship with Ron

    "I need to use the washroom," Cassian said, breaking the tension. He passed the two bodyguards and entered the washroom without glancing at them.Julian soon followed him while the bodyguards were still on edge. They did not know what Cassian would do because his expression was unpredictable."Lord, please forgive my two bodyguards. I didn't tell them to behave like that. If you want, I'll fire them!" Julian explained directly."I do feel it's the right time for you to replace them," Cassian replied while washing his hands. "They dare to go against you. They might betray you one day.""Very well. I will also fire Ava's bodyguards. They have a similar attitude. Do you want to talk to Ava, too?""There's no need to call her. Elara, my assistant, must be talking to her."There was nothing strange about the conversation. The topic was normal. Nevertheless, Julian had to hold his breath because he was too nervous.Cassian glanced at Julian through the mirror and asked, "Did you get any inf

    Niall was pleased with Brooks' arrival, thinking the city councilor had come to discuss an important matter with him. He was the police chief in charge of Lumithorn central police station.If anyone important came to the station, it meant they would only see Niall. Rudely, he pushed aside the officers who were blocking his way."You empty brains! Instead of standing around daydreaming like fools, you should be preparing to greet Mr. Brooks!" Niall snapped at the officers before walking over to the SUV.A bodyguard opened the SUV's door. Brooks, an old man with one leg limping, needed help getting out."Sir, let me help you," Niall was not usually so friendly. However, since Brooks was an important person, he could not ignore him.Brooks slapped Niall's hand without saying anything, startling the officers who were standing near the SUV to greet him."What's going on? Isn't the relationship between Chief and Mr. Brooks good?" an officer whispered.If Niall did not have an important visi

    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.
