The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 225
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

Aveline, who had once looked perfect, now appeared messy. Her hair was untidy, and some of her clothes were torn. Even her feet were dirty, and ordinary shoes had replaced the fancy heels she wore before.She had a hard time trying to escape from the attackers. But she was lucky to escape first because she was far away from them."Are you Aveline?" asked Cassian, frowning at the sight of his ex-wife's murky face.Aveline snorted. "Yes, it's me! I saw you talked to an old woman and flirted her with a cigarette box. Have your tastes changed?""You'd better see a psychiatrist because your madness is beyond the pale."After saying that in an insulting tone, Cassian walked away from Aveline, he did not have time to deal with her accusations.Even after all they had been through, his ex-wife still had the same prejudiced nature. A person's nature reflects their habits, so Cassian could not tolerate Aveline because he knew she would remain the same way."Is he really not interested in me any

Rather than the investment Rosalie would provide, Scott was more surprised by her statement regarding the company's acquisition."Are you talking about Garret, who is in a coma?" he asked.Rosalie nodded. "My grandfather didn't come to the trade show to handle the acquisition. The news should have been out since this morning. Didn't you check it?"Scott was silent, his eyes wide in shock. Busy with the trade show preparations, he had not had time to check any news.It turned out that GT Group had acquired Garett's company this morning. Scott and Roy both opened their cell phones to check the stock price."T-The stock is up ten percent now?" Roy asked in an incoherent voice.The Wests had made a huge loss by buying Garett's company shares at a high price and selling them cheaply. This was all because of Preston, Scott's son-in-law, who fled overseas."If only Dad hadn't sold it in such a hurry, we could have recouped our losses," Hazel growled.Then, she remembered Elara saying the Gre

The poison gas that Ronin developed was indeed a copy of Virexin. But the formula was exactly the same as the sample he secretly stole, so its effectiveness would remain the same.Ronin did not believe anyone could withstand Virexin's deadly effects. Because of this, he was getting angry at his men."Did you make a mistake while investigating the incident? It doesn't make sense for anyone to stay alive after being sprayed with Virexin!" he snapped.His subordinate, on the other hand, replied with a trembling voice. "I-I am already telling the truth because I witnessed everything from the beginning with my eyes!"In addition to the attacking team, Ronin sent some of his men as lookouts. He organized the surveillance team to record everything that happened at the trade show in detail.Against his expectations, his men reported the failure of his plan. When he made requests to kill businessmen, no underground organization accepted them due to business affiliations.Inevitably, he had to

Ronin was deeply hurt by Arlo's harsh words. The pride he had always held was shattered instantly. It was a feeling similar to the one he experienced every time he confronted Cassian."I understand my position well, Emperor. It may be true that I'm paranoid, but I'm like that because I'm worried about you, too. Valoric's descendant will surely take revenge on you," Ronin explained after taking a deep breath."Cassian is indeed suspicious because he can control the military," Arlo responded in a less harsh tone. "But I would be disadvantaged if I attacked the wrong person. Especially when that person is the Great Commander!"Unlike the state officials who got promoted thanks to connections, influential figures in the military were not like that. In addition to connections, one must possess extraordinary strength.The three top generals in the Weltarian military were powerful and influential rich people. They would have all been under Cassian's feet if he had not been forced to retire.

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
