Ronin waved his hand, and Dennis walked in carrying a document. "I've drawn up the contract before you came. Read it carefully and sign if you agree."Examining contracts was nothing new to Aveline. Her experience in the business world had made her able to understand contract articles well. After reading Ronin's document, she found no articles that were disadvantageous to her."It says here that you will help me restore the good name of Aveline Fashion and introduce me to influential businessmen. I hope you won't change the contract arbitrarily," Aveline demanded."We are partners now," Ronin smiled. "Don't you want to destroy your ex-husband? I can do that easily. Besides, you'll also get a big favor from me."Aveline tried not to jump joyfully and threw the document into the air. Revenge on Cassian was no longer wishful thinking with Ronin on her side.The Valorics had lost their glory thirty years ago. Aveline had approached Cassian for a large inheritance to revive her business. S

Aveline needed time to process Ronin's taunting words. She tried to think positively, but her brain refused and told her that she was in danger."W-What do you mean, President? We already signed the contract. You can't act like this to me," she spoke fearfully."I don't like repeating myself," Ronin replied in a cold tone. "Besides, what will you do if I break the contract?""You will be taken to court and pay me huge damages. The worst thing is that your reputation could be ruined.""Well, good luck surviving Dennis and finding a good lawyer!"When the call was disconnected, Aveline's whole body went limp. Dennis was not Cassian supporter, as she had expected, but Ronin's loyal subordinate.Her heart raced as she thought of the terrible things that would happen to her. If only she could think clearly, she would not have acted rashly following Ronin's request."Your scared face looks beautiful," Dennis complimented with a creepy grin. A dagger was in his hand, and he brought it closer

Aveline quickly rejected Isabella's call and turned her cell phone silent. However, it was too late as she could hear Dennis running towards her."Found you, darling!"With all her strength, Aveline ran out of the bushes to avoid Dennis' chase. Her body pumped more energy so that she could run faster than normal. The adrenaline rush increased her speed and saved her from the sledgehammer."You won't last long. Give up now!" said Dennis, following Aveline with only the use of sound.This was the reason why he chose the deserted road. Other than there being no people, he could hear everything clearly because it was not mixed with the noise of vehicles.Aveline started panting, feeling her energy drain away. Her legs began to tremble, but she forced them to keep moving. Her muscles could no longer support her body, causing her to fall to the ground.She beat the ground with a desperate cry. "Hurry up, you have to move! That crazy psychopath will be here any minute," she pleaded with hers
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 275
Aveline was upset that Cassian came after Dennis had tortured her, but it did not matter anymore since he was here now. She was sure it was Isabella who contacted the police and Cassian to come."The country has ordered me to go to the battlefield. But I will keep my promise, so you don't have to worry," Cassian continued to speak with a smile."Are you going to the battlefield again?" Aveline frowned in surprise. "Well, the country definitely needs a great soldier like you. I can understand your situation!""I'm sorry for having to leave you at a time like this.""It's alright. We can talk about many things after you return. You can tell me about marvelous things while I explain my boring daily life!"Steadily, Aveline stepped her feet to run into Cassian's arms. The paramedics screamed in panic as she ran with all her might and crashed into the roadside. They did not have time to stop her as she suddenly gained a lot of strength."Is the patient okay?""Oh, no! Her head hit the road
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 276
Cassian ignored the welcome and glanced at Liam, who was staring at him in shock. "Why are you bothering yourselves with beating up this loser? He will die a miserable death without us interfering.""How dare you! Did you come here on purpose to insult me?" Liam shouted, his gaze full of hatred. His spirit vanished as Brandon crushed it by kicking him in the stomach."Know your place," Brandon whispered, forcing Liam to bow at Cassian. "You've been messing with the wrong person. Don't you know that Cassian is an honorable man?""He's just a retired soldier good at fighting and stringing words together. Don't be fooled by him!""Looks like your stupid brain needs time to process everything. General Vance and Lieutenant Asher hold Lord Cassian in high regard. That's why the Lumithorn branch of Twilight bows to him!"Liam winced, trying to digest Brandon's explanation while bearing the pain. Until now, he still thought of Cassian as an annoying former brother-in-law.He never had time to

Max's car sped towards the city center, and the situation changed completely. Bustling streets replaced the dark atmosphere of the border. People could be seen putting up decorative lights along the street while others tried the food being sold from booths.Children wore army costumes and ran around full of laughter. Adults also dressed up, but most had fake military accessories like berets and carried toy firearms.Some guests from the health expo still had the energy to attend the festival. They did not care if they had to drive from the capital to Lumithorn to enjoy the famous fireworks celebration."Lord, we have arrived. Feel free to tell me if you need help," Max said solemnly. He had changed his loyalty because Vance had recognized Cassian as stronger.Cassian only raised his thumb in response, but it was enough to make Max cheer happily as he got out of the car. He looked around and stopped in front of a crowded booth."I'm here!" Elara waved her hand from the booth. "Let me f

The military visit was due in two days, so Elara decided to buy back her parents' old house before leaving. Although Cassian had given her a mansion, it could not replace the memories.Samuel and Hannah did not show their sadness. However, Elara sensed they were not ready to give up the old house."I will work hard to buy the house, so please don't sell it to anyone," Elara continued."That's the way it should be," Olivia said. "If you accept the house for free, you have no shame!""I agree. My husband got the house fairly and legally. I'd be ashamed if I took someone else's property," Emily commented in a disdainful tone.Thanks to Scott making a new fuss, Olivia and Emily could finally vent their anger. They were happy to see Hannah's uncomfortable look."Please be fair. Isn't Thomas your son, too?" Emily pleaded as if Scott had been particularly mean to Thomas.In reality, Scott had been unfair to Samuel more often. This was the first time he had openly defended his youngest son."

"Do you feel déjà vu?" Elara whispered while tapping Olivia's shoulder before joining Cassian to chat with Scott.Olivia gritted her teeth. An uncomfortable feeling began to creep over her. She realized that she was in Elara's position in the past, where Scott ignored her because he was more focused on Thomas.If that situation continued, Scott would abandon Olivia and her parents as he did to Samuel. They would have had no right to speak and become outcasts in the family."The house is back to you, so you can move in from today," Cassian said as he handed Samuel the key.Hannah blinked in disbelief. She never thought Cassian would care that much about her family. "You are the good fortune that came into Elara's life. Thank you so much for that," she said sincerely."Your daughter is also my good fortune."Olivia clenched her fists as she watched Cassian and Hannah interact warmly. Her relationship with Nathaniel was based on business only, so her lover never spoke sweet words.This m

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
