Cassian dodged to the side in time for Nigel's slap to miss him. "I didn't shake your hand because we had nothing to do. I'm sorry if that offended you," he explained calmly.

"The one with the right to speak here is General Zeke. Don't say anything more!" exclaimed Nigel irritably, embarrassed that his slap had missed.

"Then I order you to shut that mouth of yours!" Zeke snapped. He would have kicked Nigel for insulting Cassian if he had not been in the hospital.

Despite his temper, he knew not to make a scene in a place where sick people were treated. Many people were looking at him curiously at this moment. They must be wondering why the busy doctors took the time to greet him.

"General, I understand this man is your subordinate. But it's not good to defend him when he's wrong," Nigel ignored Zeke's orders and continued talking instead.

Zeke gritted his teeth. "What family are you from again?"

"I'm glad you asked. My family is Carver, which owns one of the major pharmaceutical compa

    The next day, a large-scale health expo was held in the capital. Since the attack incident at the trade show, the security system had become stricter.The incident had a big impact on Ironclad. All the guards sent to oversee the trade show were dead, while the rest were badly injured.However, the involvement of the high-level fighter Ironclad in the attack was not disclosed. Kurt, the Director of Operations, had bribed the remaining bodyguards to keep their mouths shut regarding the secret.To restore the company's reputation, Kurt attended the health expo and supervised the guards at the checkpoints.Visitors and doctors had to line up to have their identities checked. If anyone lied or faked an entry ticket, the guards would kick them out immediately."Director, I didn't expect you to be here," Adrian, the head of the Carver family, greeted Kurt with a warm smile.Kurt smiled back. "I feel responsible for what happened at the trade show. To make amends, I decided to take the field.

    Everyone was focused on listening to Garry and Faith's speech about Cognisafe. Journalists were taking notes of their important remarks for publication. Thanks to CVR Health's innovation, Weltaria received worldwide attention for discovering a better medicine to prevent Alzheimer's."What inspired you two to create Cognisafe?" a journalist raised his hand as the interview began.With a sad face, Faith replied, "I have treated many Alzheimer patients and empathized with their families. They have struggled so much over the years. At that moment, I thought of improving the world by developing the latest medical innovation!""My cousin and I worked so hard that we only slept two hours daily. But all our efforts paid off as many people benefited from Cognisafe," Garry added dramatically to draw people's sympathy.The audience applauded in awe. Faith and Garry's dedication touched their hearts."Can you tell us how you came up with the new formula?" another journalist asked.Faith was a lit

    Adrian could tell that Maggie was not lying, but he had to make people believe she was a fraud. "Do you know who the man is standing next to Maggie?" he asked the audience.Their attention turned to Cassian, who stood without saying anything. They remembered he was the one who wanted to ask Adrian a question but instead invited Maggie to talk."This man is from Lumithorn and very problematic," Adrian continued. He had investigated Elara earlier and found some surprising information about Cassian.Faith, who knew nothing about Cassian, was curious. "What did that guy do that you labeled him problematic?" she asked her father."His name is Cassian Valor, and he's a war veteran. According to the information I got from a reliable source, he didn't get an invitation to the grand ceremony. That means he made a dishonorable mistake on the battlefield, so Mr. President didn't invite him!"The Carvers were indeed Ronin's secret affiliate. But he had never revealed Cassian's identity to them, s

    "It turns out that the Carver family really stole Doctor Maggie's formula. That means the court's decision does not match the facts," Sophia strongly criticized the Carvers' actions.As the owner of Curenza, she respected other pharmaceutical companies. She had lent her lab facilities to Adrian several times as a form of support. But she could not tolerate anyone involved with the production of counterfeit medications."This is absolutely disgraceful!" Landon gritted his teeth in anger. Now he understood why Cassian wanted to destroy the Carvers. "People will question the health company after this!"The scandal that befell the Delinetons was still widely discussed by the general public. The level of public trust in hospitals that work with pharmaceutical companies was decreasing. If the Carvers' case were revealed to the public, then people would be more skeptical about the medicines in circulation."I can't believe I spent an hour listening to a loudmouth speech!" another doctor blas

    The doctors followed Jameson to talk to Maggie. They felt guilty for doubting her all this time."We apologize for thinking badly of you. Adrian is good at masking reality, so we misunderstood," one doctor apologized.Maggie smiled, her eyes teary with emotion. "We've done nothing wrong here. The Carvers fractured our relationship. After proving my innocence, I hope to be accepted back into the community.""Of course, you can. I'll invite you to join the community event later," Sophia put her arm around Maggie for support.The doctors from Clion General Hospital arrived along with Zeke. They immediately apologized to Maggie for treating her critically."Now you are proven innocent. Your future is bright. You can work in a better place," Portia said sincerely.Maggie's dream was to be in a prestigious hospital in the country to raise her status. But after working at Clion, her heart was touched by the doctors' genuine care for the poor patients."Doctor Sharon has inspired me throughou

    "Cassian, are you okay?" Elara asked with concern. She remembered Cassian once said that he worked hard to get a position in the military to prove his worth.Back then, Elara and the others thought Cassian just wanted to show his strength to the world. It turned out there was a more complex reason than that.However, some supporters still doubted him even after he received the title of Great Commander. Elara could not help but feel sad since she knew how hard Cassian tried."You don't need support from those who doubt you," Zeke spoke angrily. "Plenty of people want to stand by your side, so you don't need to be sad!"Cassian smiled as he exhaled. He could have gotten rid of those supporters, but he recalled they had helped his parents."You must remember that only a few people were present when we entered the secret base. Those who weren't present didn't trust me completely because I left the military. But I'll be back, so you don't have to think about that," he explained with his us

    Sienna and Copper had been watching Aveline from inside their jeep. They did not want to pry into Cassian's personal life, but Zeke had told them about Aveline."God, I'd love to grab that bitch by the hair and smash her face into the ground," Sienna muttered, remembering Zeke's story that Cassian was unilaterally divorced.Copper replied casually, "We can be thankful that Aveline divorced Lord Cassian. That way, he can pursue a relationship with Colonel Elara.""You're right! I was so excited to meet Elara, but it turns out that Lord only came alone.""I heard that General Zeke left the military to follow Lord Cassian. The Colonel must be in charge of keeping that mad dog."The Phantom Legion members who had known Zeke knew he could not be controlled except by Cassian and Elara. The two of them were like siblings to Zeke, so he obeyed them.People involved in the black market were very careful. Zeke's participation could lead to a small mistake that could ruin the plan.

    Luis pretended to be calm to buy time while his hand sneakily took a cell phone from the table behind him. "What do you mean? I don't recognize the name you mentioned," he said in confusion."There's no need to pretend because I already know everything. It's better that you confess right now. You won't like what will happen if you keep lying," Cassian warned."I don't understand! Didn't you come to buy Noxaryn? If the price doesn't suit you, you can leave!""The thugs out there will beat me up if I don't buy, right? Your plan is obvious."The grin etched on Cassian's face made Luis feel a strange sense pressing down on him. Luis needed money fast, so he would force his clients to buy no matter what.If the clients refused, he would order his thugs to beat them up until they agreed to buy. It turned out that Cassian could read his plan like an open book."I'm a seller with good ratings on the web. There's no way I'm planning anything dirty," Luis denied, cheering inwardly as his hand r

    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
