The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 296
Inside the briefing room, the top three generals were seated while fifteen other people stood behind them. Meanwhile, Elara and Zeke sat opposite the top three generals. There were a total of twenty people there, all with serious faces."It's good to see you again," Elara greeted them all.Ruth nodded. "We have no choice but to wait here. We are not like two people who move without orders to follow the Commander," she said with a hint of sarcasm and humor.The military members of the Phantom Legion knew each other automatically over time; they just did not know the members outside. Of those present now, only Elara and Zeke knew that Franklin was a member."I apologize for acting on my own. It was a stroke of luck that the Commander forgave me and General Zeke," Elara stated solemnly.Rules are rules. Cassian asked the soldiers in the Phantom Legion not to follow him, but Elara and Zeke broke the rules. He could have punished them, but since he did nothing, it proved that their mutuali
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 297
The meeting between the Phantom Legion military members did not last long. The top three generals had agreed to take the others to train in Axion, the city where the fighters of Weltaria lived. They could develop their skills there while waiting for the Narman Empire's attack."Remember, we are always ready to help. Call us if you need it," Bertolt said before the meeting ended.Zeke shook his hand and hugged him briefly. "We hope we don't need your help. Because if we do, it means we're facing a powerful enemy.""Then you must be strong because you are accompanying Commander right now. Many people want to take your position, so do your job well!""Of course. I don't want to give my position to anyone else."The annoying grin on Zeke's face made the others want to slap him. They also wanted to accompany Cassian up close like Zeke and Elara. Unfortunately, they could only move on command.They were members of the Phantom Legion recruited from the military. Their duties are always relat

The chatting investors immediately stopped because of Cassian's controversial remarks. He claimed to hold more shares than them, so they could not ignore him.The woman who introduced herself as Lara stared at Cassian in disbelief. "How many shares exactly do you have?" she asked."Fifty percent," Cassian answered without stammering. His aura of confidence spread, but no one could believe him.A young man in the front seat stood up and approached Cassian, followed by several other investors. With a disgusted look, he said, "How dare you lie here! I'm Julian Evans, son of the owner of CE Production, and I've never seen you!""Of course, you haven't because you're not interested in business. It was your father who made the deal with me," Cassian replied calmly.Julian clenched his fists. It was true that he did not actively manage the company because all he did was have fun. However, he always attended shareholder meetings because his father gave him some shares.He had never seen Cassi

"Young Master, we need to kick this imposter out quickly. According to rumors, he's a madman and could cause a ruckus at the meeting," Morgan warned, remembering Cassian had unreasonable strength.Julian gave Morgan a cold look. "You got the CE Production shares thanks to my help. If you speak again, I'll ask my father to kick you off the list of major investors," he shot back threateningly.Hearing that, Morgan shut his mouth and returned to his seat. He had already lost a lot by withdrawing his investment from Tiny Treats. Losing his stake in CE Production would cost him even more, forcing him to obey Julian.Moments later, Charles Evans entered the hall, followed by three large shareholders behind him. They were Zeno, the owner of Weltaria Bank, Pamela Erickson, the fourth richest person in the country, and Peter, who had many connections with the underground.Charles was no longer in his productive years, but his powerful aura still shone through. All the investors directly stood

Charles gained courage quickly, confident that the investors would be on his side. They had worked with him for ten years. The chances of them siding with Cassian were zero."I'm surprised you're a major shareholder," Anastasia looked Cassian over from head to toe. "But that doesn't mean anything because the investors are siding with my father!"Charles had been hiding Caden from the public for fear that investors would not participate if they knew that 50% of the shares were held by just one person. Therefore, he made a false report that half of the shares were owned by him.The investors were angry when they remembered that Charles had been deceiving them all this time. They were able to invest with peace of mind because they believed CE Production would not be in big trouble."Don't forget the fact that you deceived us, Mr. Evans! We can report you on this issue," an investor protested in a threatening tone.Julian snapped at him, "This is not the time for that! We must unite our f
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 301
Each of the three main investors held an eight percent stake, the same as Charles. But Charles lied by claiming that he held fifty percent of Cassian's shares. If Peter handed over his shares to Cassian, then that would mean Cassian's power was even greater."Don't be rash, Mr. Peter! We must work together to fight Caden. He will surrender if we keep our shares," Charles persuaded.Peter clenched his fists and glared at Charles. "Didn't you see what this man just did? He beat all those bodyguards like they were nothing," he retorted with a hint of fear.An ordinary person would not be able to make the wind a weapon in a fight. Only top-level fighters are capable of controlling the elements. The investors had only ever heard that through word of mouth. This was their first time encountering a strong cultivator in person."Mr. Peter is right. The best option is to discuss this matter with a cool head," Lara advised."You have no idea how scary this guy is," Peter continued with cold swe

"I'm thrilled to meet you in person," Zeno opened the conversation with a beaming face. "We've only been in touch by phone for the past three years. I'm glad you made it back safely."Pamela patted Cassian's shoulder with a proud look. "The President declared the war over because of negotiations. But I believe you were the one who made the Narman Empire surrender!" she said confidently.The scale of the war between the Weltaria and the Narman was so big that Cassian could not often contact those closest to him. That was why he seemed to ignore Aveline, his ex-wife.Even without news, Zeno and Pamela waited patiently because they believed Cassian would return. Zeno is a Valoric supporter and member of the Phantom Legion, while Pamela comes from the Erickson family, who have been secret supporters of Valoric.Zeno owned a large private bank in the country, so his influence was quite strong. Pamela became the fourth richest person after her parents died and left a large retail mall compa

Starlight Bay was a town known for its beautiful beaches and sea. Villas there could cost up to $100,000 per night. Event organizers had rented a resort for the movie premiere of Nova Ascendant.Weltaria had a famous superhero movie overseas: Nova Ascendant. The movie told the story of superhumans from the planet Nova. It was so famous that only the famous and influential could attend the movie premiere.A red carpet was laid out at the entrance to the resort. Reporters were ready with their cameras to take pictures of the celebrities in attendance."Huh, who's that guy in the mask?" a reporter asked, pointing at Cassian, who had just gotten out of the limo. "My company didn't tell me to cover that guy, but I'm curious because he looks unfamiliar."The other reporters shrugged, certain they had never met Cassian before. They were reporters who covered movies and celebrities. Naturally, they became familiar with the body figures of celebrities, and they were sure Cassian was a new pers

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
