"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

    No one knew why the two famous actors had taken such reckless action, so everyone left it to the authorities to investigate.Under the road barrier, Ashlyn and Tate groaned in pain. It turned out that the recent crash was not enough to take their lives. A shadowy black figure appeared in front of them, making them think it was the angel of death."You two are really troublesome. Even though you were in an accident, I still have to follow the Commander's orders."The figure was the terrifying woman who had hurt Cade. As soon as Ashlyn and Tate recognized her, they screamed in terror. They crawled on the ground with the last of their strength, but it was pointless since the woman could catch them easily."Why am I not dead? Damn, I don't want to live in suffering!" Ashlyn grew more hysterical as the footsteps drew closer. Her hands trembled as the woman touched her shoulder.Tate looked back and saw the woman forcing Ashlyn's mouth open. "No, don't come near me!" he pleaded.He took the

    Ronin had never encountered poison made with parasites as the main ingredient. This was the first time he learned of such a poison in the world. He grew irritated when he remembered that Doctor Franklin had not yet provided any updates on his poison development project."I intended to use my poison to kill Cassian, but Emperor Arlo beat me to it," he stared at the glass vial, his feelings mixed.Weltaria was once not under the shadow of the Narman Empire due to the influence of the Valoric family. Since the powerful forces united to destroy that legendary family, Weltaria lost its main supporter.When the incident happened, Ronin had yet to become President. But he did not care about Weltaria's fate because Arlo had promised to make him President one day.Unfortunately, Arlo attacked Weltaria after Ronin became President. Ronin was furious, but he realized it was better to be Arlo's ally than his enemy. That's why he was willing to abandon Cassian, as Arlo had requested."I don't care

    Virgil had once respected Cassian when he was still the Great Commander. But now, he had to side with Ronin because it was his duty as a government official."You were an honorable man, Legendary General. But it turns out you're not smart enough to read the situation," Virgil said sarcastically."I think you need to learn how to read again," Bertolt responded with a calm smile. "You're the Minister of Defense, but it's the soldiers who spend all their time saving this country. I'm a soldier, too, so I know more about this situation than you do.""Don't be so arrogant. Being an opportunist won't lower your dignity. If you change your mind, you can contact me, and I'll convince the President to lift your punishment.""That's an abuse of power. I'll serve my exile quietly."Bertolt's words echoed in Virgil's ears, and a warm flush crept up his neck. The shame was suffocating, but he could not argue back."See you later," Bertolt patted Virgil's shoulder before joining the others to leave

    Hawthorne was one of the influential families in Weltaria due to the success of its manufacturing business in recent years. The company contributed a large amount of taxes to the country. Zeke, Gabriel's only son, was set to inherit the Hawthorne Industrial Group (HIG) in the future.However, some time ago, Gabriel announced that Zeke was no longer part of Hawthorne. The data had been updated, and Gabriel was declared the fifth richest person in Weltaria. This was a huge loss for Zeke, who should have been able to replace his father as one of the wealthiest people.Instead of feeling regret, Zeke casually responded that losing the company's inheritance was not a big deal. "Wow, my cousins must be so happy that I've been kicked out of the heir's chair! Dad, you'll be busy dealing with all those people trying to suck up to you from now on.""How dare you joke in this situation! I'm serious!" Gabriel snapped."So am I," Zeke replied, his humorous tone turning serious. His determined gaze

    The military needs strong fighters to support the country's defense. But when war happens, powerful weapons are most needed. Even the strongest soldiers would find it hard to win without good weapons in this modern era.That's why the Soul Essence project is such a brilliant idea. With the weapons developed by Cassian, other countries would not dare to attack Weltaria.Elara continued her explanation, "The project is nearly finished. If you get involved now, the Hawthorne family name will get credit for it."Isadora became even more excited. She hugged her husband and exclaimed, "We must fund the project, Darling!""That's exactly what I was thinking." Gabriel had made his decision. He looked at Elara and declared, "The Hawthorne family will fund the project!"From the outside, Elara looked normal with her light smile. But inside, she was cheering with joy. The materials needed to make the Soul Essence weapons were hard to get and expensive.Cassian did receive large funding from the

    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
