Elara did not have time to answer as Scott immediately switched off the call. Her grandfather's tone was irritated and serious, revealing that the West family faced a critical issue.

"The Delinetons went to Lumithorn and reported us," she informed Cassian.

Zeke was the first to react. "How dare they seek trouble with the Commander! Let me kick their asses!"

"We already did that," Elara sighed. "I can't believe they can still act up after all that's happened."

"That means you didn't teach them enough lessons, Colonel. You really suck at this!"

"But I didn't do anything. The Commander is the one handling it."

The twinkle in Zeke's eye disappeared. Opportunities to mock Elara did not come along daily, so he intended to laugh it off to his heart's content. But it turned out that Cassian was responsible for the Delineton family's problems.

"The Commander is indeed a generous man. He forgave the Delinetons, but they returned the favor with insults!" Zeke spoke again with more intensity.

    Samuel squeezed his pants. The conflict with the Delinetons was private, so he did not dare contact Doctor Landon for help. He wondered how Cassian would save his daughter."Now, lick this!" Tess giggled as she lifted her leg.Elara lowered her head, but not to obey her grandfather's order. With a quick flick of her tongue, she let out a sharp spit onto Tess' shoe."I didn't know you were so eager for my spit that you asked me to lick your shoes. Here, I'll give you my spit for free!" she exclaimed before spitting a second time."Kyaaa, you crazy chick!"With disgust, Tess grabbed a tissue to wipe her shoes. She wanted to cry seeing her expensive shoes being spat on by Elara."You have no idea how expensive these shoes are! You think you can get away with insulting me?!" she snapped.Wilbur took out his cell phone and took a picture of Tess's shoes. "I'll use this as evidence of Elara West's mistreatment of my client. Let's settle this matter in court instead because the West family c

    All the lawyers rejected Mila not because of Wilbur but because Zeke had arrived at Jensen's house. With the Ghost Network's influence, Jensen informed the law firms to ignore the Delineton family."I've sent the evidence of Tonelix Pharma's crimes to the media company. The news should be out tomorrow," Jensen explained with a cigarette tucked into his lips.He was a 70-year-old man who lived in the countryside to avoid people. His village had a poor internet connection, so his enemies would find it difficult to track his exact location.Zeke beamed, thankfully. "Good then! I can catch up with Commander now," he turned around, but Jensen pulled his clothes."You must have heard something from the Commander regarding Valoric. The Ghost Network has been supporting Valoric in silence for a long time. My colleagues and I will not be tracked easily, unlike you.""Then what, old man?"Roughly, Zeke shook off Jensen's grip on his clothes. He slapped his shoulder as if Jensen's hand carried d

    The production of fake medicines was among the most condemned cases in the medical world. Anyone linked to the production company would face public blame.Television footage showed investigators from the Weltaria Health Organization working with police to seize all counterfeit medicines."We have only confiscated from Delineton family clinics. The confidential whistleblowers revealed that several hospitals and doctors were involved in this case," the investigator explained.Scott did not hear the rest of the explanation as his brain suddenly went blank. His physique was getting weaker as he got older. That's why he ended up in the hospital because he could not handle the shock."It's a good thing we haven't signed a contract with the Delinetons," Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled at Elara. "Thank you for preventing us from trusting them. It turns out they were hiding a dark secret.""I've been annoyed with them since they called us at night. My hunch was right that they were

    At the Lumithorn police station, Thomas was negotiating with the police officers to free Emily. He had offered them some money, but they refused."How much do you need? I'm ready to give it!" he said, slamming the table.Martin, the policeman handling Emily's case, shook his head calmly. "This case is related to Weltaria Bank and Doctor Franklin's company. How could we accept a bribe from you?" he still refused.Bribery was common in the police force. It was a public secret that cops accepted bribes to solve cases.However, the Lumithorn police had become more cautious since the city council fired Niall. They were afraid they would be dragged to court for taking bribes."We've known each other a long time, Martin. Can't you do your friend a favor?" Thomas asked with a smile, trying to hide his anger.This was not the first time he had come to the police station. Since he was young, he had known Martin because he was often involved with various cases. After he became a businessman, he

    "This is a police station, not your home. We can't serve you forever," Martin scoffed as Thomas took a long time to make up his mind.The investigators had put on a grim face. If Thomas were even a little late, they would definitely go to court to file Emily's case.With a heavy heart, Thomas replied, "I-I will give Roy the villa, but you have to let Emily go right now.""Good decision. We will ask for the necessary documents later. Officer, please release the prisoner!"Tyra happily rushed towards the women's prison. Emily was seen curled up alone in a corner. Her head was wet, and a foul odor wafted from her. When she saw the police coming, she immediately ran and gripped the bars."Officer, please move me to solitary confinement! I don't want to stay with other prisoners. They just dunked my head in the toilet," she begged tearfully while three other prisoners giggled.One cell held four prisoners, and Emily had to live with the cruel prisoners. They did not care about her status a

    "Why do you take small units for granted? You can't even buy one on your own," Cassian criticized.There were only two ways to get units in Victory Hills: through auctions and recommendations. Even the small units here were valuable because they were hard to get."I-I will buy a house here with my own money later!" Olivia answered with a stutter, her pride crushed in an instant.She glanced at Elara and wondered why her cousin could find a man like Cassian. After dating Nathaniel for so long, she had to admit her boyfriend had a loser mentality.Nathaniel was just lucky to be born into a rich family. If he were poor, he would have been bullied by the powerful."Why are you staring at my boyfriend like that?" Elara waved a hand in front of Olivia, who was dreamily looking at Cassian. "Drool will come out of your mouth if you don't shut it!"Olivia gasped in surprise, not realizing she had been staring at Cassian all along. Her subconscious mind started comparing Cassian and Nathaniel.

    Olivia had never met Yelena before, but seeing the youngsters' admiring reactions, she quickly deduced that the blonde woman was someone important."I'm Olivia, CEO of West Corp. Can I help you?" she politely greeted Yelena.Meanwhile, Emily ran off to get her wig back. She kept cursing inwardly for having to experience such an embarrassing situation when an influential person showed up.Yelena glanced at Olivia briefly before moving on to Cassian. "You must be the person my husband was talking about. Are you Cassian Valor?" she asked to make sure."Yes, it is me. I didn't expect you to come here when you could have sent someone else," Cassian replied with a friendly smile.In the military, there was a major named Lars who followed Cassian. Lars had a wife working in real estate. He promised to give Cassian a house near the docks in exchange for helping him become stronger.Cassian had contacted Yelena since he knew Elara's parents lived in a small housing estate. Samuel was busy taki

    Operating costs for a mansion can reach millions of dollars, especially if it is located in an elite residential area. In addition, the residents also had to pay security money to pay the guards' salaries.Samuel did not think about that because he was too happy. Now, he realized he also had to hire people to clean the mansion because he could not do it alone."No wonder Cassian gave the mansion to Samuel. He must not be able to afford the running costs," Thomas mocked. It made him feel better that he could insult Cassian again."Uncle, you should sell or rent the property to someone else," Olivia advised Samuel. "But it's hard to find a tenant for a big mansion. How about you give my parents a low price?"The people who lived in the dock area were on a different level. If Olivia could live here, she would meet great people from outside the city."My daughter is right. It's not easy to get a tenant. I can pay you a hundred thousand dollars a month," Emily offered.The profits from ren

    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.

    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
