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

    Ashlyn, Cade, and Tate were once unknown actors with good acting talent. Cassian approached them and promised to make them famous with his connections. They did not really believe him but agreed just to make a bet.With his connections, Cassian asked Terrence to accept them in the casting for Nova Ascendant. The three actors became famous thanks to the superhero movie. However, they were not satisfied and approached Ronin to gain more influence."Looks like Terrence is late due to some problem. In that case, I'll go first."Cassian walked on the red carpet, which was the only access road to the ballroom. No reporters took pictures of him because they had no idea who he was. Instead, they gave him scornful looks because they assumed he came thanks to insiders.Everyone in the ballroom was wearing expensive clothes from well-known brands. They exuded an aura of wealth as if trying to compete with each other. The guests at the movie premiere were celebrities, directors, and movie critics

    "Did you just bring up Director Terrence here? You'd better apologize before we all beat you up," Callista said in a threatening tone.Not only she but the other guests were also staring intently at Cassian as if they were going to beat him up. Terrence organized the movie premiere, so all the guests were his fans and respected him greatly."Why should I apologize?" Cassian tilted his head in confusion. "It's true that Terrence invited me personally. We are old friends."Cade tugged at Cassian's tie, saying through gritted teeth, "Take off your mask right now. I need to see the ugly face of the person who insulted the Director!""Unfortunately, I can't do what you're asking. I have a cold, so I'm afraid you guys might catch it," Cassian responded nonchalantly, showing no fear whatsoever."The rest of us don't care about that. You just need to show your face, and we'll know if you're a liar or not.""You act like you know Terrence. The truth is, you don't know anything about him."Tate

    The guests needed clarification as they struggled to digest Terrence's words. They had never seen Cassian with Terrence, so they did not believe Cassian had any abilities."What does this mean, Director? I don't understand," Callista said honestly. She needed a more detailed explanation of this surprising turn of events.Terrence ignored her and glared at Ashlyn, Cade, and Tate. "I'm sure you've met Sir Caden before. He's the one who asked me to cast you guys in my movies," he told them."You never said anything about it, so we thought Sir Caden was a fraud," Ashlyn responded nervously.It turned out that the man back then was not a fraud. Cade and Tate glanced at each other, both wearing expressions of fear. They did not want to lose their fame."This is just a misunderstanding," Tate cleared his throat as he extended a hand to Cassian. "We didn't know you were the one who helped us in the first place. Can we talk with cool heads?"Cassian stared at Tate's hand, not intending to shak

    After the war ended, Cassian and Ronin never communicated. This was the first time Cassian had made a call, so Jolene was terrified. She feared something dangerous was happening as the Great Commander made a surprising move.Ronin took off his glasses, extending his hand to receive the cell phone from Jolene. "It's been a long time, Commander. How are you?" he opened the conversation in a friendly tone."If you're asking about the effects of the blindness poison, I'm fine now. Next time, try a more dangerous poison," Cassian replied with a hint of sarcasm."As for the poison, I had no choice since it was a condition of the peace negotiations with Emperor Arlo. I'm glad to hear you're in good health.""I don't want to talk about Emperor Arlo. I'm afraid this call will turn into a political conversation.""Then why did you call me?" asked Ronin, biting his lower lip to contain his emotions. The veins in his hands protruded out as he gripped the cell phone firmly.Cassian glanced at the

    "Are you kidding me?" asked Tate in disbelief. He knew Julian was a bad boy, so he doubted his statement.CE Production's profits have increased considerably from last year. Charles was the main shareholder, so his position in the company would not be threatened. Someone else could not acquire it because that person would have to own more shares than Charles.Julian bit his thumb nervously, realizing Tate would not believe him. He hurriedly switched off the phone when he heard footsteps coming in. The meeting was supposed to end peacefully, but everything changed with Cassian's surprise arrival.Some of the shareholders went crazy, fearing the company's value would drop. Zeno and Pamela had left first, so the investors took out their frustration on Julian or Anastasia. Julian fled to a nearby hotel, but the investors chased him like angry dogs."I hope those crazy investors don't find me," Julian whispered hopefully.He gasped in surprise when he heard the door next to him being broke

    "Mr. President, I got a report that someone defamed you," Jolene said, interrupting Ronin's rant. She reported this because she was afraid that the perpetrator would defame the President to many people."Who's the asshole who dared to do that?" Ronin slammed his desk, feeling like this was the worst day of his life."It's from Actor Ashlyn. She reported a man named Caden Lawson threatening her and her friends under your name.""Drag that Caden to court. Wait, did you just mention Ashlyn?"Jolene nodded. "Yes, she's a talent from CE Production. She befriends Tate and Cade. They are the celebrities who will be promoting you, so I thought you should help them.""Damn it, they're the ones causing trouble this time. Don't respond to them and break off all our cooperation!" Ronin retorted."But they can bring their followers to vote for you," Jolene was surprised by Ronin's response. She could not hear the content of his conversation with Cassian, so she had no idea about the situation.The

    Terrence and the three celebrities froze as if the air in the room had suddenly stopped flowing. Ashlyn furrowed her brows, her jaw hardening as her gaze stayed on Cassian."Commander? You're kidding, right?" she muttered, her voice heavy with disbelief.Tate, on the other hand, covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes widening in shock. "No way... this is like a nightmare," he said, his knees almost giving up on supporting his body.Meanwhile, Cade staggered back, cold sweat running down his face. "How could you...?" he whispered, his hands clutching his shirt restlessly, trying to hide his fear.After the Great Commander's sudden retirement, many people were curious about where he had disappeared. No one ever knew his whereabouts, as if he vanished into thin air.Ronin told the three celebrities that Cassian had suffered a severe wound that had left him injured. He told everyone that to make Cassian's image pathetic.Because of this, the three celebrities dared to be insolent to

    After hearing the horrifying statement, the three celebrities burst into tears, begging for Cassian's forgiveness. Unfortunately, all they received was indifference. Cassian continued walking resolutely, not stopping or looking back even once."No, don't leave us!" Ashlyn screamed, standing up with her two friends following suit. "Give us one more chance, and we promise to treat you with the utmost respect!"Tate nodded desperately. "Commander, we promise to give you our very best!""You want us to stop supporting the President, right? We'll do it right now!" Cade added. He seemed to have forgotten that Ronin had already severed ties with them, leaving him with no special connection to the President anymore.Cassian walked further away, and his figure was about to disappear. The three celebrities finally managed to rise to their feet. Their intent was clear in their movements: they planned to chase after Cassian to plead for mercy.Swiftly, Terrence stepped in to block their way and s

    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
