The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 279
"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

The tragedy that befell the Valoric family was a great mystery. Cassian was certain the mastermind behind it all was not Arlo. Like Ronin, Arlo was just a puppet of those more ruthless.A historic family could not be defeated overnight. Blackstone Legal Group failed to find the rope that connected the incident to the real mastermind. That meant the mastermind was far from Weltaria since the Valoric Supporters' power was limited to the surrounding countries."I will make Emperor Arlo reveal who is involved. He must not die before revealing everything," Cassian promised with determination.Elara leaned her head on Cassian's shoulder and stroked his back. "I believe you can do it. Tomorrow, I'm going to General Headquarters with Zeke. What are you up to?""I'm going to take care of the minion who betrayed me. After that, we'll have to wait and see what Ronin and Arlo will do," Cassian replied, thinking about his busy schedule for tomorrow.As people enjoyed the fireworks, a commotion cou

"Let's just enjoy the present, shall we?" asked Cassian, to which Elara replied by wrapping her fingers around his neck and pulling him closer.Their lips met in warmth, and fireworks exploded with colorful thunder in the sky as if celebrating their lovely moment.Cassian was lost in the kiss, thoroughly enjoying every second without thinking about anything else. His ever-raging thoughts of revenge finally stopped for a moment.Meanwhile, Elara focused on her warmth as her stomach filled with thousands of butterflies. Every beat of her heart seemed to sync with the warmth from Cassian's body pressed against hers.In that kiss, they both felt a calmness they had never felt before, as if all the burdens and problems that plagued their lives disappeared instantly."I see a future with you, Elara," Cassian said when the kiss ended.Elara smiled as she continued to look at Cassian. "Well, we have the same vision. Let's stay together for now and the future!"At the riverbank, Zeke looked at

Thomas did not follow his family to Victory Hills since he had other plans. He took the fast train to reach the capital quickly. After that, he ordered a taxi to take him to his destination."Are you aware that the suburbs are dangerous?" the taxi driver asked suspiciously."Don't worry," Thomas replied with such calmness that the driver was not alerted to him. "I usually go there for some business. If you're afraid, you can drop me off at a distance from the dangerous area.""But the fee will be expensive.""I don't care. Don't talk too much, and get me there as soon as possible!"The driver closed his mouth as Thomas handed him two-hundred-dollar bills. He had been doing his job for decades and had experienced similar situations.Thomas was not the first person to ask for a ride to the suburbs where thugs and drug addicts lived. The driver had even taken a thug leader. He changed the fare to go there because it could risk his life."What are you going to do there? You should call yo

Olivia did not think about the pain on her face because Thomas' words hurt her more. She had not expected her father to hurl insults."Why are you calling me stupid when you're the one who failed?" she criticized, tears flooding her cheek. "You should blame yourself for being unable to make a good product!""I never taught you to disrespect your parents," Thomas scolded, throwing a pillow at Olivia's face.The nurses outside rushed in as soon as they heard the fuss. They could tell Thomas' mental health was disturbed by his aggressive attitude."The patient seems to have suffered a big shock, so he's behaving like this. We will refer him to the psychiatric unit," a nurse explained, inviting Emily and Olivia to leave.Screaming could still be heard from Thomas' room. He was even more aggressive than before and was throwing things around. The nurses had to call security to help them move him to the psychiatric unit."Is my husband going to be okay?" Emily asked sadly.The nurse nodded.

"Harvey's not my secretary anymore," Olivia responded indifferently. She was more concerned about the future of her career than anything else. "And it's your father's fault for trusting others too much.""You fucking bitch! I regret building a relationship with you!"Olivia flinched in shock as Nathaniel slapped her face. The slap was so hard that it echoed down the hallway, and even the nurses turned to look at her. No one dared to intervene, knowing they were from a wealthy family that should not be interfered with."You're bringing bad luck for me," Nathaniel continued, unconcerned with the fact that he had just been violent. "Since dating you, my life is slowly going downhill!"There was no response from Olivia as she was too shocked. Her memory drifted back to when Cassian called Elara his good fortune, starkly contrasting Nathaniel's current attitude.She also remembered seeing Cassian and Elara kissing by the river. The two looked great together under the moonlight, with the sk

Before Emily could slap Roy, Samuel held her back and asked Roy to stop being rude. "We are a family. Instead of fighting each other like this, we should find a way out of our problems!"Everyone was silent, trying to think of the best solution. Mental illness was a sensitive issue for a company leader like Thomas. Even if he recovered, investors would still be skeptical of him just because he had received mental health treatment.In the tense atmosphere, firm footsteps echoed throughout the hallway. The nurses blushed as they stole glances at Zeke and Elara, who looked dashing in their military olive-green uniforms.Samuel had asked Elara to come but did not expect his daughter to come looking different. "Why are you wearing an army uniform?" he wondered in amazement.With just a change of clothes, Elara had a different aura than usual. She looked more stern with her military uniform and hair pulled back into a ponytail. Even Nathaniel's jaw dropped as he marveled at her charm."Shut

Samuel did not want to return Elara to the military, but his daughter's confidence reassured him. Besides, the war was over, so he was sure Elara would only be doing light duty."I'll find someone to take over your job for now. You can focus on your duties in the military," Samuel said as Elara ended their embrace."If you run into trouble, you can ask Cassian for help," Elara whispered. "He will try to help you."For the next two days, Elara would spend her time at General Headquarters and could not pay attention to her parents. Cassian had stated that he would help them during her absence."Others will do all your work. I hope you can take responsibility for that," Scott spoke with a hint of sarcasm.Elara could see what he meant. "I'll give you my entire salary from the state.""You are indeed my best granddaughter! May you fulfill your duties successfully."The compliments that Scott usually gave to Olivia were now given to Elara. He supported Elara more since his other grandchild

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
