"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

    Luis patiently took Ronin's next slaps. He did not make a sound, knowing the President would torture him even more if he rebelled."You said your poison would be a success, but Commander can still find an antidote," Ronin said breathlessly. Anger had caused his breathing to be disrupted."I didn't think the Commander was that smart," Luis answered honestly. "The plant that makes the poison is only found in certain countries. That's why I thought Commander would need a long time to recover."The dark bags under Luis's eyes signaled his poor quality of sleep. To find good ingredients for his products, he had to stay up late and travel to different countries.He had just returned from a distant country where the infrastructure was so poor that he could not contact anyone. As soon as he returned from his expedition, he attended the meeting immediately because Ronin had urged him to come."You should have thought of the worst! The Commander is healed now, and he must be planning revenge,"

    Cassian's arrival was followed a minute later by Elara. Their presence instantly brightened Zeke's mood, lifting his spirits."Why do you need access to the health expo?" he asked."General Vance has contacted me regarding the pharmacist I've been looking for lately. The pharmacist is affiliated with the Carver family," Cassian explained briefly, sure Zeke knew about the family he mentioned.After the Delinetons were destroyed, the Carver family benefited from fewer rivals in the medical field. Carver owned a large company called CVR Health that focused on pharmaceutical production.Although smaller than Franklin and Doctor Sophia's company, CVR was quite influential, having been established decades ago."The Carvers, huh?" Zeke rubbed his chin. "I remember Jensen giving me a copy of the document containing their crimes five years ago. I didn't predict we'd need it today!"Elara replied, "We should collect the evidence now and expose it at the health expo tomorrow to attract attention

    The message completely changed Lars' mood. The Phantom Legion group had been quiet since Cassian left the military. Even though all the members were curious, no one dared question the Commander.They faithfully waited for news, knowing Cassian could not possibly abandon them. Lars was so happy that he forgot about the cadets who had upset him."Are you leaving now?" Captain Yvan asked fretfully. He was in charge of accompanying Lars to train the cadets and was worried about conflict at the airfield.The military situation was not good, so it was natural for Yvan to have big worries. Just one internal problem could trigger bigger ones.Lars nodded. "I'm going to the war simulation center. Please take my place for today only," he replied."W-What are you going there for?" Yvan asked nervously.At this hour, the three main generals and the ordinary generals under their authority were at the war simulation center. They were still diligently practicing war scenarios, even though Weltaria d

    Bertolt took a deep breath before continuing his speech. "The Commander has ordered us to prepare for the arrival of General Zeke and Colonel Elara. They are coming to represent the Commander's orders. All of you spread the word to others as well!"The generals' hearts raced with excitement. Even though Cassian was not coming, they were still pleased that the Great Commander was finally 'utilizing' them.They were among those present when Ronin forced Cassian to leave the military. At that time, they could not react because Cassian had asked them to remain calm.In the line, Francesca bounced with joy, ignoring the glare from Supreme General Davis. She no longer cared about discipline due to her excitement."Finally, the Commander is making a move! I'm fed up with the atmosphere in the military lately. Thank goodness I'm going to have some fun soon!" she exclaimed with a wide smile.Bertolt typically punished anyone who disobeyed the rules. He should have ordered Francesca to do five

    In a secret underground lab, people in white suits were busy mixing chemicals on the table. They were doctors paid by Ronin to create dangerous medical weapons.Franklin was in the gas test chamber accompanied by three others, all wearing special masks to guard against toxic gas exposure."I think we're almost there," said a woman. She was Inez, a toxicologist skilled in developing antidotes. With a bright smile, she lifted a lifeless dog. "The poison we've developed killed this dog in five minutes. That's faster than before. Our toxin might even surpass Virexin!"Franklin restrained himself from slapping Inez. The use of animals for testing was indeed controversial. In his quest for the latest cure, Franklin had previously been forced to use animals when necessary.Yet, he always sought better alternatives and requested strict supervision whenever animal testing was involved. This was different from Ronin's lab, which abducted pets belonging to others for experimentation."I research

    This was not the first time Cassian and Zeke had encountered pirates. While cooperating with the navy, they crossed paths with some ruthless pirates.Many pirates pretend to be injured and attack when they are rescued. However, this group attacked the yacht directly, showing their confidence."It seems they are the rulers of this area, thinking they can handle us with just ten men," Cassian concluded after observing the situation.Zeke grinned. "It's been a while since we faced annoying pirates. Let's stretch a bit before we reach our destination!" he exclaimed enthusiastically, stepping out of the cockpit."Just remember not to damage my yacht," Cassian replied, following him outside.The pirates raised their swords high and laughed upon seeing the two men. Since the yacht was quite large, they thought they would have to deal with at least five people."This is our lucky day. These two are foolish for passing through this area without any guards!""It seems they're new to these areas

    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
