Elara's words left the Wests thunderstruck and enraged. She fearlessly ordered Scott, the family's leader, to beg on his knees.

Scott's forehead furrowed in anger, his lips tightened, and his hands trembled as he clenched them tightly.

"How dare you be so rude to Grandpa! Haven't you learned any manners?" Olivia responded with fury as Elara refused the opportunity she had given her.

Elara snorted. "It's you who's being insolent. You should be polite to me because you need my help."

"You think too highly of yourself. The West family doesn't need your help but is giving you a chance. If you want to be recognized, you must accept this opportunity!"

"Is it really an opportunity?"

Elara's mocking voice provoked Olivia's emotions further. She could not tell anyone about the embarrassing incident at the Bridge Point office.

She had not even told the West family that Logan had dishonorably kicked her out. It could damage her reputation, so she tried not to look pathetic.

    "I don't want to beg Elara!" Olivia rejected Scott's idea directly.Scott glared at her. "All right. Do you have a solution to this problem?" he asked coldly.Since Olivia was silent, he glanced at the others and asked again, "What about you all? Does anyone have any good solutions?"No one could answer Scott. The West family could not compare to Logan's influence. That meant they had to comply with his request unless they had a stronger backer, and they did not."I'm sorry, Grandpa. You were right," Olivia looked down to hide her sour expression."Everyone, prepare to meet Elara! I know you're upset, but this is for the family. We can avenge her disrespectful behavior later!"All the West family members were ready to go to the cafe whose address Elara had given earlier. They drove there quickly, afraid of running out of time.At the cafe, Elara grinned when she saw her family arrive. "It's so good to see you guys here!" she said excitedly, as if she had a close relationship with the

    "Bridge Point will help distribute and promote all of the West family company's products," Logan declared as Elara finished signing the contract.Relief was evident on his face that the matter was settled. However, he still felt nervous since Cassian had come to his office.Had he been aware of Cassian's arrival, he would have taken the initiative to approach Elara regarding the contract. Since the situation was already like this, he needed to be careful."Thank you very much, sir. I'll do my best for our partnership," Scott reacted happily.Logan handed the cooperation documents to his secretary for the relevant team to check. He looked at Elara, who offered him a friendly smile."Our cooperation project should be taken care of by Miss Elara. Report everything to her. I don't want anyone else to take her place!"Scott nodded in understanding. He began to speculate that Elara and Logan had an affair. It was possible that Cassian was the person Logan had sent to care for her.If that w

    Aveline chose her best outfit to attend the appointment with the cooperation manager of the West family company.After her cooperation with Bridge Point was not renewed, she had to find another company to work with.West Corp's primary business was in the food sector. Its snack products were among the most popular in Weltaria.Yesterday, Aveline proposed a collaboration in the form of her clothing designs inspired by West Corp's products. Many fashion businesses collaborate with food companies to attract attention and create unique designs."They'll accept our application, right?" Isabella asked anxiously as she accompanied Aveline. "Other companies reject our applications. That's strange. I'm afraid there's a big problem!"Aveline stared at West Corp's main office. She was so happy when she got the news that the cooperation manager agreed to meet with her.Other companies were refusing to cooperate with her. It was unsettling because her business could have been destroyed instantly w

    Elara's words made Aveline and Isabella realize that they had come to discuss the proposal. Since Elara was the leading manager, she had control over all the proposals. That meant she could reject Aveline."Cassian is your bodyguard?" Aveline asked to make sure she did not mishear.Elara nodded. Previously, Cassian had asked her to introduce him as her bodyguard to Aveline.At first, Elara disagreed with the idea because she did not want to make Cassian her subordinate. But Cassian had already guessed that his ex-wife would accuse him of something when she saw him, so he convinced Elara.This way, Aveline would be the guilty one since she accused Cassian without any evidence."Cassian is my bodyguard, which means he can be in my office," Elara spoke up because Aveline had nothing to say. "But you bothered him. Even worse, your secretary tried to slap him."Isabella clenched her fists as she saw Cassian grinning as if mocking her. She wanted to defend herself by saying he was a fraud.

    Aveline tried to contact Logan even though he had ignored her all night. She was ready to be disappointed again, but Logan unexpectedly picked up her call."Sir, you finally responded to me! I've been expecting your reply since last night," she said with happiness mixed with sadness.Since Logan was responding, she thought he was just busy and did not have time to check his cell phone. Their closeness over the years made her think she could work with Bridge Point again.She grinned as she thought, 'There's no way Mr. Logan would ignore me!'"Stop contacting me from now on," Logan said coldly, surprising Aveline and Isabella. "I'm replying to tell you this. We have no more business."Before Logan turned off the call, Aveline hurriedly asked, "What have I done wrong? I did well during our cooperation, and you know that.""Your only mistake was offending someone you shouldn't have offended!""What do you mean?""You've offended a big person. Your business could be ruined at any time. Tha

    Behind the man named Max, a group of people was playing monopoly with great excitement. People surrounded the monopoly players and cheered when one player lost all his money after stepping on a property.The monopoly was being played with real money, so naturally, people were more enthusiastic. They were the Twilight Family spending their free time waiting for a mission.Finley, the bald guy, brought Liam into the base and caught everyone's attention. Strangers never entered here unless they wanted to die."Who is that?" Hunter, the broke player, frowned at Liam's arrival.The others were also confused. Being part of Twilight for so many years made them meet many people.And they could smell the fear from Liam. His body even trembled as the Twilight members watched him."He said he wanted to see you, Boss," Finley spoke to Max, who was still sharpening his dagger. "He seemed to know you, so I brought him here."Max stopped what he was doing. As he looked up, he also lifted his dagger,

    Hunter blinked in surprise, finding himself thrown onto the road. His face was bleeding from rubbing against the asphalt. He stood up and wiped the blood off his face with his hands."Turns out you've got some skills," he mocked, trying not to collapse onto the street.His legs were trembling, so he could lose his balance at any moment. The effect of Elara's kick was so strong, but he was too embarrassed to admit it.Elliot thought Elara's attack was average because Hunter was still standing. Therefore, he did not hesitate to lunge at her."I'll make you regret fighting us!"Smoothly, Elara stepped to the side to avoid Elliot's quick punch. She only had to tilt her head to prevent his next punches."Are we done?" Elara laughed mockingly as Elliot gasped for breath.Her smile fueled Elliot's fire. He forgot about the fatigue crashing through his body and went back to throwing some quick punches.People often praised him because he had faster punches. Most of his opponents could not dod

    As a second-tier family, the West had a great deal of influence in society. Thus, Liam thought Cassian could escape the Twilight, thanks to Elara's help.Had Elara not been involved, Cassian would have died today. Liam thought with annoyance. But he was more irritated that Elara approached Cassian, an ordinary soldier.Cassian did not even have a good reputation. Only a high-ranking soldier could rival a wealthy family. He was definitely not one of them."How could a classy woman like you get along with this loser?" Liam looked at Elara's appearance, realizing she had a pretty face and a nice body.He turned to Cassian and clenched his fists. Compared to Cassian, he was much better off because he came from a rich family."What lies have you told Lady West?" Liam scoffed, remembering Aveline's story about Cassian pretending to be blind.Elara immediately rushed to Cassian's defense. "He didn't lie to me about anything," she replied firmly."Gosh, you just don't realize he is fooling yo

    Ronin was stunned by the little girl's innocent yet piercing response. She was right. The road home was not far. He was the one who made it that way. In his mind, his younger self laughed at him and said, "Come on, just admit it. You're a coward! You don't dare to walk another path because you're afraid to start over!""No, I didn't mean it that way," Ronin murmured, his gaze becoming more lifeless. Syla looked worried at his reaction, thinking it was her words. Dean and Anne asked what was going on, but the President suddenly screamed while clutching his head."Don't act like you know everything!" Ronin shouted at the shadow of his younger self that kept appearing in his mind. "You don't know anything! You don't know what I've been through. I had to sacrifice everything I wanted to get to this position!""But you could have chosen not to sacrifice it," young Ronin laughed mockingly. His large, glowing eyes were nothing like the eyes of the adult Ronin, which were now burning inside t

    "Sir, are you alright?" Syla asked worriedly, but Ronin stayed silent, his eyes lifeless. The president was sitting with them in the car, yet somehow, it felt like he was far away, completely out of reach.Dean and Anne also tried to talk to Ronin, but they received the same cold silence. Eventually, they gave up, realizing something was deeply wrong.Far away from that place, in a different time decades ago, young Ronin was playing the piano while the servants smiled as they listened. For a child his age, he was extremely talented in music and could be considered a genius pianist in the making.The servants clapped as Ronin finished playing Liebestraum No. 3, a romantic piano piece by Franz Liszt that symbolized eternal love and deep emotion. Its gentle melody touched the heart, while its complex technique showed Ronin's mastery."Young Master, you were amazing! Could it be that you're the next Mozart?" the head butler praised him sincerely.Ronin smiled shyly under the sunlight stre

    The departure of the top three richest people was not what triggered the others to leave. In fact, it was Virgil's decision and Ronin's words that convinced them that staying was the wrong choice. Besides, history has shown how the winning side always hunted the losers.Even if the people in the President's Faction tried to run, they would never live peacefully because Arlo would definitely try to capture them. In the end, they would die because of the war."I'm sorry, Sir. I can't bring my family with me if I run away. It's too risky," Mayor Warren said with a bitter smile.Without warning, Ronin punched him. "Are you going to betray me now after everything I've given you? All of you sitting here got your positions in the government because of me!"Everyone lowered their heads in shame. There had not been any opposition party in Weltaria since Ronin fully took control of the government. Even if there was one, it never had as much influence as the President's Faction. The only power t

    Ronin's arrogance was what brought him to the position he was in now. He looked down on everyone in Weltaria, including Cassian. If he had discarded his pride long ago, Cassian would probably still be in the military now.But Ronin thought too highly of himself, believing he could make Weltaria reach the top under his rule. His arrogance slowly faded when Cassian appeared and shook his power.At that moment, the President realized he had been defeated by someone greater than himself. However, he refused to accept this reality and eventually allied with Arlo. Even after betraying his own country, he still could not defeat Cassian. He would have done so long ago if he could."Are you serious?" Virgil asked in disbelief.Ronin gave a wry smile. "The soldiers won't obey me since I am only respected. They need someone they fear to force them to fight on the battlefield."Everyone fell silent at that answer. They had had Ronin as President for almost five years, so they were familiar with a

    The suffocating silence swept across the room following Waylon's blunt statement. Everyone's words got caught in their throats, and no one dared to say a word. The truth was, they had already doubted Ronin's ability to handle the war ever since he started throwing tantrums during the meeting.The one leading the battle should possess a calmness as vast as the ocean amid a storm. How could Ronin, who was so temperamental, stay composed when things did not go according to plan?Whack!Finally, the sound of a slap shattered the silence. Waylon did not move an inch despite Ronin slapping him hard, showing his incredible physical strength.Ronin grew more offended by Waylon's reaction to the slap. Arlo's betrayal had already weighed heavily on him; now, someone from his faction added to his burden."You dare—""Of course, I dare," Waylon interrupted, his gaze growing colder. "I hate the Commander for being too hard on their soldiers. That's why I sided with you instead of him. But now I th

    Jolene flinched in shock when Ronin snatched the phone from her roughly. The trace of anger on his face grew more intense. It was understandable, considering the only thing he received after waiting for fifteen minutes was an insult."Do you think just because you're the underground ruler, you have the right to insult me? Your position is not higher than mine. Just wait and see until I destroy you!" he shouted, saliva flying from his mouth."I don't believe you can win the war," Daisy continued, mocking Ronin. "General Vance didn't come to me, but I know about the Narman Empire declaring war. Clearly, you're short on manpower if you're contacting me.""How do you know about that war?""Ghost Network can get information fast, even if it's a few minutes late. I received a report that soldiers from the Narman Empire were seen bringing several people who looked like doctors to the border."Ronin gripped the phone tightly, his strength cracking the screen until it flickered. Even so, the p

    Vance and Asher should have been seated at the military table with the others. Both of them had been sidelined from their duties in the West region because the situation there had already been under control. They were supposed to be present at the meeting, especially considering the emergency."Jolene, contact General Vance right now!" Ronin ordered, not suspecting anything. He had been observing Vance ever since Cassian was still in power and believed that Vance was an opportunist.The soldiers who had left to support Cassian were nothing more than active-duty soldiers currently under Ronin's control. Because of this, Ronin was confident that Vance would not turn against him."S-Sir, it seems General Vance has blocked your number," Jolene said nervously.Ronin frowned. "How could he dare do that? He must be drunk somewhere in a bar and hasn't read my message. Try contacting him again!""I sent him a message from my number, and it went through, but your number can't reach him at all…"

    Cassian's absence in this war did not intimidate the President's Faction. They believed they could outmatch their enemies with better weapons. The Narman Empire's economy crashed after surrendering with terms, while Weltaria continued to grow stronger.Financially, Weltaria's military was in a much better position. Humans were powerless when faced with weapons. That's what Ronin's supporters believed until they were shocked by the soldiers' response."I immediately announced the news to everyone at General Headquarters. Most of the soldiers refused to go to the battlefield. Only a few were willing, and we won't win even with good weapons," Stefan answered, trying to hold back his frustration.Ronin slammed the podium again. "What made them brave enough to make that kind of decision? They must fight for the country because it's their duty!""They're tired of the system that keeps changing. During Bertolt's leadership, the military was stagnant and didn't change much. Then, the Commande

    Allen responded irritably, "Are you suspecting me now? I was only close to Cassian's parents. He comes from a family of fighters, which is why he's so strong.""What family is he from? I don't know any powerful family named Valor," Waylon interrogated in a demanding tone. He had long been curious about Cassian's background, so he was not going to miss the chance to find out.Everyone wanted to know what made Cassian different from the others. If they learned about his background, they could follow his example and gain as much power as he did."His family used to produce many great fighters, but that doesn't matter anymore because they're no longer around," Allen replied flatly, refusing to reveal any information about the Valorics.Waylon folded his arms, his eyes sharply focused on Allen. "I don't care about your identity as the richest man in the country, Mr. Vanderlyn. The fact is, I fight to protect wealthy people like you, so you should be honest out of respect for me and the oth
