The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 221
The peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned tense due to a sudden attack from a group of mysterious people. They rapidly came to the trade show and attacked the visitors randomly with firearms.The first gunshot sent the visitors running in panic. The exhibitors did not care about their booths and fled."Everyone is expected to calm down so that the exits are not blocked, and the situation remains under control!" a bodyguard instructed.Such instructions were useless in this situation because everyone was panicking and scrambling to find a way out to save their lives."Get out of my way!""Hey, you stepped on my fallen child! Please don't run irregularly!""Oh, no! I dropped my bag."Many people fell because others pushed them. Some women were seen crying as their children fell and were trampled.The exit was blocked as the panicked people were all crowded in there. Meanwhile, the mysterious attackers continued to threaten while wielding their firearms."Dad, get out of here!" shouted Ela

Ronin knew everything that happened in Ironclad and handled the tough tasks that came up. To attack the trade show, he needed strong people and had to check the tasks that involved them. In other words, he was the mastermind behind this attack."There's no way Mr. President would do this. He must know that we are also in charge of guarding the show," another bodyguard said skeptically.His colleagues also tried to think positively, but the longer they fought, the more convinced they became that the attackers were indeed high-level members of Ironclad."We don't want to finish you all off," an attacker said as he loaded his pistol. "But if you insist on resisting, we have no other choice!"The remaining bodyguards gulped. Many of them were injured, and their expectations of victory were completely dashed.Their current position was cornered. With only a few people left, they could not defeat the well-equipped attackers."What should we do?" a bodyguard asked while holding his wounded h

Virexin, the toxin gas, was one of Ronin's secret lab projects. A person who inhaled it would experience shortness of breath and convulsions before losing their life.No doctor could treat the symptoms as the victim would die within ten minutes."These pests are a nuisance," the attacker commented irritably. The gas was still diffusing in the air so that he could not see anything in front of him.Another attacker chimed in, "General Zeke is busy shooting at the other team. We'd better hurry up and eliminate our target before his attention turns to us.""That's what I wanted to say. I remember that Rosalie Greythorn escaped with the West family to the north. They just want to get out of the emergency exit there.""We must catch them immediately! The police will surely come soon because of the visitors' call."This attack was a secret mission known only to Ronin and the attackers. The police, who knew nothing, would send help to deal with the unrest at the trade show.The police would o

The SWAT members cautiously exited the armored vehicle. They split up and lurked around in search of the attackers. As they walked deeper into the hall, they found many bodies lying covered in blood."Those attackers were so cruel! How could they kill this many innocent people?" a tactical operator said through gritted teeth.Suddenly, Zeke appeared behind the tactical operators as he threw out an attacker he had just finished off."What you see are not the victims but the attackers themselves. You guys are slow as hell, so I had to step in to handle this," he said as he put his M4 Carbine on his shoulder.The tacticians turned to him in surprise. They had already seen his face at a party the Hawthorne family had thrown to welcome his return."I-Is that you, General Zeke?" someone asked in disbelief.Zeke snorted. "I don't think my identity is important. I can guarantee that all the attackers have been subdued. Now go evacuate the people!""Roger that!"Without saying anything else, t

Hazel smiled happily at Scott's words even though she knew her grandfather did not care that much about her. She understood that Scott was using her for power, but it did not matter because she would also benefit from that."I had a private talk with Leon last night. He is indeed a good man. I'm glad he wants to be close to me," Hazel said, deliberately smiling to make Olivia even more annoyed.The City Council had already decided to demote Chief Niall. It was only a matter of time before Renee was sent to prison.When those two people lost their power, Nathaniel was at a great disadvantage. The police chief who originally supported him was now a nobody, and his mother was in jail.In other words, he had lost half the support. If Leon had a romantic relationship with Hazel, the West family's support for Nathaniel would also be divided."Grandfather, I'm sure you're only influenced by momentary enthusiasm. Many conflicts will occur if Hazel gets involved with Leon," Olivia advised wise

"I like brave people," Harvey responded with a smile, but anyone could tell it was not genuine.Walking up to Cassian, he gripped his neck firmly. "But that courage must be shown to the right person at the appropriate time. Do you think I'm in a position to be criticized by someone like you?" he hissed.Cassian could feel Harvey's nails digging into his neck. It seemed the governor did not like to play games.The slightest insult would not be accepted by Harvey. If Cassian dared to criticize him again, he would have hired men to secretly take Cassian out.It was common knowledge that officials often abused their power. Harvey always silenced those who criticized him, so no one dared to speak ill of him anymore.Cassian grabbed Harvey's wrist. His unusual strength caused Harvey's pupils to dilate for a moment."How do you carry out your duties if you can't accept my criticism? As a governor, you must attend to the complaints of the people. I am a citizen, so I have the right to critici

Only Cassian and Elara were not surprised by Zeke's actions. They had expected him to do something like that.This one was nothing compared to what Zeke had done before. He could not hold himself when someone insulted Cassian.One reason military people were afraid to talk about the Great Commander was Zeke's brutality. With his ruthless attitude, people were anxious because they did not know what he would do."Cut out the part where the Governor brings up the Great Commander," Zeke continued as he wiped the blood from his riffle, ignoring the faces of the journalists who had turned pale.The bodyguards held their breath as they carried Harvey's body away from Zeke. Their foreheads furrowed in horror at the sight of the governor's severe head wound."Is it okay to let this happen?" a bodyguard asked the silent Lydia. "Even if Zeke is a general, his rude behavior towards the Governor is unforgivable!"Lydia massaged her head. "Do any of you dare to reprimand General Zeke?" she asked as

"What makes you think Elara can beat me? You think too highly of her," Olivia replied sarcastically.For now, her position was indeed superior to Elara's, so she still felt safe. As long as she became the next heir, Hazel and Leon's relationship would not affect her."You're the one who should apologize to me before it's too late," Olivia continued, bumping Cassian's shoulder as she walked away.The trade show had to be stopped because the attack had damaged the booths and made the hall unusable. Olivia had nothing to do here since the journalists were not interested in interviewing her."I'll take Olivia home since she's not feeling well," Thomas told his two brothers.Roy smiled. "Don't forget about Emily. You must solve her case alone since Dad won't get involved.""Thanks for the advice. Also, don't forget to hire a good tutor for Hazel. Our family could be disgraced if a stupid girl married Leon.""That's a good suggestion. I hope you teach Nathaniel how to do business properly s

Stefan's actions triggered several other soldiers to do the same—remove all the symbols that marked their positions in the military. While it looked like the same action, they had different reasons for doing so. Not everyone feared the Military Prison.People like Stefan simply wanted to fight because it was their duty to protect the country. Not many soldiers thought this way, as most of them chose to fight to avoid punishment.Cassian raised an eyebrow when he realized that some soldiers were still unwilling to surrender to him. It caught his attention because they were faces he did not recognize."I appreciate differing opinions. Therefore, I will not force anyone to go to the battlefield. Anyone who prefers punishment can line up over there," he instructed, pointing to the left.The soldiers who refused to fight quickly formed their line. Major Vienna stood at the front, pride still etched on her face."I'm sorry, I don't recognize all of you." Cassian walked toward the line on th

Cassian walked with his hands resting behind his back while Elara and Zeke fell into line with the other soldiers. Rasmus did not join the formation since he was not part of Weltaria's military. He stood at the very back, alone, in a rigid posture.The soldiers, who had initially been standing in disarray, automatically corrected their formation. Cassian gazed at any soldiers who had been out of line for a long time, urging them to follow the rules. Though they did not want to obey, their muscle memory forced them to comply with their commander's commanding gaze."A fine day, isn't it, comrades?" Cassian greeted, lifting his head to look at the clear sky. "This weather is perfect for the Narman Empire to strike. They would suffer great losses if they attacked during winter and rain."He looked back at the soldiers, still wearing his usual calm smile. "I heard that you've become weak lately. Why don't you head to the border and hold off the enemy forces?"The silence was thick, and no

All the soldiers at the General Headquarters were sitting quietly in the shared lounge when they received the news that the Narman forces had breached the northern border near the cities of Valen and Hawke. The military base in Weltaria had fallen, allowing the enemy to enter easily. Virgil had deployed the soldiers from the branch headquarters, but everyone knew that it would not hold for long."What are we going to do? If we keep staying still, the enemy will eventually attack us," Major Vienna said, hugging her trembling body.A lieutenant general named Agnes snorted. "You got promoted because of your connection to the President. No wonder you're scared. If it were me, I'd face the enemy with my strength," she responded sarcastically."How dare you insult me! You wouldn't dare say that in front of the President, would you? You coward!" Vienna retorted."That's true," Major General Sylvia responded, rolling her eyes. "But we're all tired of this new system. How can someone get promo

Ronin's departure left a sorrowful silence for a while. Those in the President's faction did not understand why they should feel sad when Ronin had betrayed them. They thought they would be indifferent after their former leader left, but instead, they felt an indescribable emotion.However, there was no time for mourning. Cassian clapped his hands a few times to regain everyone's attention."I do have a personal vendetta against Ronin, but he has also committed crimes that deserve punishment. This means I will drag everyone involved with him to trial," he declared.Everyone in the President's faction stood tense, unhappy with the topic but knowing it was coming. Cassian must be saying this because he had irrefutable evidence."But instead of conventional punishment, I want to give you a noble chance to redeem yourselves," Cassian said with a smile.Rather than feeling relieved, the President's supporters grew anxious because they knew Cassian would not let them off easily."I'd rather

The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise from the participants about the Soul Essence. Since cultivators existed, all the military forces in the world had to develop weapons that could match their power. This was the beginning of the creation of energy weapons, as not everyone could cultivate.For instance, Weltaria had more soldiers who could not cultivate than those who could. To balance the gap, the country had no choice but to invest heavily in purchasing energy-based ammunition that could only be used on special weapons.The price was beyond question. It was undoubtedly expensive, and Weltaria lacked the funds to purchase enough energy weaponry. This is why Ronin called upon wealthy, influential families, including the Hawthornes, as he needed their help."Can your words be trusted? I've never heard of energy bullets that can destroy cores. If it only weakens them, that's still reasonable," Ronin voiced his skepticism, hoping that Cassian was exaggerating.Cassian placed his

Valoric was a word that none of the participants had expected to come up in this emergency meeting. They could indeed use the Valoric inheritance to benefit the country, but Mabel would not let that happen because everything had to follow the law.Everyone was shocked by the reality that the heir to the legendary family still existed. The officials had already imagined that everything Valoric owned would fall into their hands within the next fifteen years. Even though they would not be in office by that time, they could still place their relatives in government positions to corrupt it."W-Wait a minute!" Mabel stuttered, raising both of her hands. "You need to discuss this with the President first."Cassian glanced at Ronin briefly and laughed. "I'm sure that's unnecessary. The President already knows I'm the only remaining heir of Valoric.""What? He should've told me immediately!""Well, there must be a reason he kept it a secret. Even the top three richest people in the country hav

The officials who came from various regions grew even more uneasy because of Gabriel's words. They had no idea what had happened to the Commander in Lumithorn City or the capital. Cassian had never disturbed them, so they had no interest in finding out anything about him. It was natural that they felt the most disadvantaged in this situation."Sir, I have worked well as the governor of Nothford. I feel it's unfair that I'm trapped in the internal conflict between you and the Commander," said Jed, speaking on behalf of the other officials who had no involvement in the President's personal issues.Ronin raised his hand while shaking his head, signaling everyone to stop talking. "The Commander didn't bother you because there was nothing in your region that caught his attention. But do you think he truly ignores you? He must have secretly investigated your crimes ever since you actually sided with my government.""Are you trying to provoke the officials to hate the Commander?" Gabriel int

"I will remove Ronin from his position and claim the Narman Empire as part of Weltaria once we win. We can do anything once we have power," Cassian continued as he applied ointment to the wound on Elara's leg.It was a medicine he had developed together with Franklin, using rare new herbs they cultivated at the villa in Victory Hills. The ointment was effective for healing wounds caused by cultivation attacks or other objects with similar effects, such as energy bullet rifles.The ointment had been in development for a long time and was only perfected after the three-year war ended. Narman was currently detaining Franklin because he had been involved with Ronin's secret project. However, the ointments had been safely stored in the basement of the Victory Hills villa."Doctor Franklin succeeded," Elara said as her wound slowly closed and the pain subsided. "We can use this ointment for the injured soldiers later!""That was exactly my plan. Doctor Franklin also developed a stronger ant

Cassian did not accept the paper and merely read the address once to memorize it. He walked out of the Weltaria Hall of Culture without saying anything further. After his departure, people could finally breathe a sigh of relief as his dominating aura vanished.They rubbed their throats, which had previously felt constricted, making it impossible for them to speak. The air around them returned to normal, and they were never more grateful to breathe freely."What was that just now? I wanted to flee quickly, but I couldn't move my body," one of the guests whispered when he finally managed to move again.Others had the same reaction once they could move their bodies. They cheered in joy, forgetting that they had just been throwing things at Ronin. Cassian had quietly calmed them with his dominant aura, allowing them to think clearly.The most important task now was evacuating civilians to a safe zone. Cassian would not prioritize his revenge on Ronin or the people who had once humiliated
