Behind the man named Max, a group of people was playing monopoly with great excitement. People surrounded the monopoly players and cheered when one player lost all his money after stepping on a property.

The monopoly was being played with real money, so naturally, people were more enthusiastic. They were the Twilight Family spending their free time waiting for a mission.

Finley, the bald guy, brought Liam into the base and caught everyone's attention. Strangers never entered here unless they wanted to die.

"Who is that?" Hunter, the broke player, frowned at Liam's arrival.

The others were also confused. Being part of Twilight for so many years made them meet many people.

And they could smell the fear from Liam. His body even trembled as the Twilight members watched him.

"He said he wanted to see you, Boss," Finley spoke to Max, who was still sharpening his dagger. "He seemed to know you, so I brought him here."

Max stopped what he was doing. As he looked up, he also lifted his dagger,

    Hunter blinked in surprise, finding himself thrown onto the road. His face was bleeding from rubbing against the asphalt. He stood up and wiped the blood off his face with his hands."Turns out you've got some skills," he mocked, trying not to collapse onto the street.His legs were trembling, so he could lose his balance at any moment. The effect of Elara's kick was so strong, but he was too embarrassed to admit it.Elliot thought Elara's attack was average because Hunter was still standing. Therefore, he did not hesitate to lunge at her."I'll make you regret fighting us!"Smoothly, Elara stepped to the side to avoid Elliot's quick punch. She only had to tilt her head to prevent his next punches."Are we done?" Elara laughed mockingly as Elliot gasped for breath.Her smile fueled Elliot's fire. He forgot about the fatigue crashing through his body and went back to throwing some quick punches.People often praised him because he had faster punches. Most of his opponents could not dod

    As a second-tier family, the West had a great deal of influence in society. Thus, Liam thought Cassian could escape the Twilight, thanks to Elara's help.Had Elara not been involved, Cassian would have died today. Liam thought with annoyance. But he was more irritated that Elara approached Cassian, an ordinary soldier.Cassian did not even have a good reputation. Only a high-ranking soldier could rival a wealthy family. He was definitely not one of them."How could a classy woman like you get along with this loser?" Liam looked at Elara's appearance, realizing she had a pretty face and a nice body.He turned to Cassian and clenched his fists. Compared to Cassian, he was much better off because he came from a rich family."What lies have you told Lady West?" Liam scoffed, remembering Aveline's story about Cassian pretending to be blind.Elara immediately rushed to Cassian's defense. "He didn't lie to me about anything," she replied firmly."Gosh, you just don't realize he is fooling yo

    Aveline felt a sour lump in her throat when Cassian did not react as she thought he would. He was neither annoyed nor sad, even though his ex-wife was about to get close to a new man."We will leave," Stella snorted. "You're arrogant just because you own this old house. As you know, Silas has a lot of property in this city. You're no match for him!"Liam added, "He has a successful business. To buy an old house like this, he wouldn't think twice."The conversation about Silas made Elara frown in confusion. For now, Aveline was not officially close to Silas.But her mother and brother acted like they already had a relationship with Silas. This made Elara giggle."Are you guys that close to Silas to bring him up in conversation?" she asked curiously.Stella and Liam could not answer. The Emberlight family had influence, so they did not dare to lie.Some time ago, Stella got a message from Silas asking about Aveline. She used this moment to match her daughter with a rich man and arranged

    A group of ten was sent to the West family villa. Since it was a Sunday, the West family members gathered to discuss business and other matters.Scott always held regular meetings to maintain his family ties. In addition, he wanted to emphasize that he was the leader and everyone should follow his orders."Where's Elara?" His forehead furrowed when he could not find Elara anywhere.Samuel and Hannah struggled to answer the question. Yesterday, they were very happy that Elara was the new cooperative manager.All the partnerships were organized by her. That would benefit Tiny Treats, so Samuel forgot about Cassian momentarily because he was too pleased."Did she go out with that guy again?" Samuel asked Hannah, his voice holding back anger.Hannah nodded. "Elara sent me a message. She said she had some business with that guy.""Gosh, that girl's getting arrogant just because she's the new manager," Emily scoffed. "Just imagine what would happen if she got a higher position!"The others

    At Cassian's house, Elara was helping him clean up the furniture that Stella and Liam had messed up. She did not want to attend the family meeting because she remembered how her family had insulted Cassian.But she picked up her mother's call because she had a bad feeling. "Mom, what's wrong? I told you I can't come because I have important business to attend to.""M-My dear, can you come to the villa now? The Twilight Family is looking for you. They threaten to kill our family if you don't come," Hannah explained the situation with a stammer.Elara had suspected that the Twilight Family would not stay silent since she had attacked two of their members. "I'll be at the villa soon," she told her mother."You'd better come as soon as possible!" Behind Hannah, Olivia shouted in exasperation. "You've put your family in danger because of your stupid actions. Have you gone crazy?""If you invite me to argue, I can serve you until the end. But in return, I will come late."Because Elara's pr

    Even though Elara had made a big problem, her parents still cared about her. Unlike Scott, they could not let the Twilight Family take her."Dad, how can you be so cruel to your own granddaughter?" Samuel, for the first time, could criticize Scott's decision. "When Olivia got into bullying cases in high school, you defended her and threatened the bully's victim!"Hannah, swayed by her husband's courage, added, "You always help West family members because you're the leader. Aren't you going to help Elara?""How dare you question Dad's decision!" Roy snapped at his youngest sibling.Not accepting being called, Olivia quickly defended herself, "In high school, I only bullied kids from poor families. What Elara did was different. She offended a big organization!"Seeing the West family arguing, Rhett could not help but laugh. "This family is hilarious. Because the leader is incompetent, the children and grandchildren are fighting," he mocked Scott."So, what's your decision? We don't have

    Almost all Twilight members were street thugs recruited by the bosses in their respective areas. Their street-fighting skills were undoubted.For the first time since joining the organization, they were overwhelmed by a woman. Elara changed the situation in an instant with just an iron rod.It was just an ordinary iron rod. But in Elara's hands, it magically became a weapon of mass slaying."Where was your enthusiasm earlier? Didn't you want to torture me mercilessly?"Elara giggled as she swung the iron rod at anyone who lunged at her. As if she could predict her opponents' movements, she could hit them with pinpoint accuracy.It made no difference whether they came from the side, bottom, or top. With her skillful body movements and iron rod use, Elara excelled in battle."Ugh, who exactly is this crazy woman?" Dominic wiped the blood from his mouth. Due to the rod's blow to his stomach, he was thrown and spewed blood.His other comrade replied breathlessly."I never heard of the Wes

    Asher was watching the soldiers practice while listening to Max's report. Since Vance had other business, he was responsible for caring for the Twilight Family."I already understand. It looks like the West family needs a stern reprimand to follow the rules," he said coldly.Hearing the reply, Max could not help but smile happily. "Thank you very much, Lieutenant Asher! The West family will be attending a private business event tonight.""Give me access to the event. I'm going to Lumithorn right now!"Once the call ended, Hunter asked anxiously, "Is this going to be okay? We lied to Asher!""What lie? The West family is indeed messing with us.""But that's just Elara West."Max hit Hunter's head in annoyance. "Just shut up and follow my plan! Since the others and I are still hospitalized, you will go to the event to accompany Asher.""What if I make a mistake?""You failed the mission to capture Elara and Cassian. If you fail again, I will expel you from the Twilight Family!"The memo

    The unexpected order shocked the guards, leaving them silent for a moment as they processed it. They had overheard the commotion in the Situation Room, including Ronin's plan to flee the country if war broke out. It was natural for them to expect the President's next command to add more to their burden.To their surprise, Ronin ordered them to find Cassian's whereabouts instead. He would not have asked for the Commander if his plan had remained unchanged."What are you waiting for? I'll be here until you bring me good news," Ronin waved his hand as if brushing away a fly before turning around and sitting on the iron chair.The guards glanced at each other before they finally believed Ronin was serious. Their lips twitched as they tried to hold back their happy smiles, doing their best to remain professional."Yes, Mr. President! We'll split into two teams. One will stay with you, and the other will work with the spies to carry out your orders."Ronin only gave a short nod, his eyes fi

    Ronin was stunned by the little girl's innocent yet piercing response. She was right. The road home was not far. He was the one who made it that way. In his mind, his younger self laughed at him and said, "Come on, just admit it. You're a coward! You don't dare to walk another path because you're afraid to start over!""No, I didn't mean it that way," Ronin murmured, his gaze becoming more lifeless. Syla looked worried at his reaction, thinking it was her words. Dean and Anne asked what was going on, but the President suddenly screamed while clutching his head."Don't act like you know everything!" Ronin shouted at the shadow of his younger self that kept appearing in his mind. "You don't know anything! You don't know what I've been through. I had to sacrifice everything I wanted to get to this position!""But you could have chosen not to sacrifice it," young Ronin laughed mockingly. His large, glowing eyes were nothing like the eyes of the adult Ronin, which were now burning inside t

    "Sir, are you alright?" Syla asked worriedly, but Ronin stayed silent, his eyes lifeless. The president was sitting with them in the car, yet somehow, it felt like he was far away, completely out of reach.Dean and Anne also tried to talk to Ronin, but they received the same cold silence. Eventually, they gave up, realizing something was deeply wrong.Far away from that place, in a different time decades ago, young Ronin was playing the piano while the servants smiled as they listened. For a child his age, he was extremely talented in music and could be considered a genius pianist in the making.The servants clapped as Ronin finished playing Liebestraum No. 3, a romantic piano piece by Franz Liszt that symbolized eternal love and deep emotion. Its gentle melody touched the heart, while its complex technique showed Ronin's mastery."Young Master, you were amazing! Could it be that you're the next Mozart?" the head butler praised him sincerely.Ronin smiled shyly under the sunlight stre

    The departure of the top three richest people was not what triggered the others to leave. In fact, it was Virgil's decision and Ronin's words that convinced them that staying was the wrong choice. Besides, history has shown how the winning side always hunted the losers.Even if the people in the President's Faction tried to run, they would never live peacefully because Arlo would definitely try to capture them. In the end, they would die because of the war."I'm sorry, Sir. I can't bring my family with me if I run away. It's too risky," Mayor Warren said with a bitter smile.Without warning, Ronin punched him. "Are you going to betray me now after everything I've given you? All of you sitting here got your positions in the government because of me!"Everyone lowered their heads in shame. There had not been any opposition party in Weltaria since Ronin fully took control of the government. Even if there was one, it never had as much influence as the President's Faction. The only power t

    Ronin's arrogance was what brought him to the position he was in now. He looked down on everyone in Weltaria, including Cassian. If he had discarded his pride long ago, Cassian would probably still be in the military now.But Ronin thought too highly of himself, believing he could make Weltaria reach the top under his rule. His arrogance slowly faded when Cassian appeared and shook his power.At that moment, the President realized he had been defeated by someone greater than himself. However, he refused to accept this reality and eventually allied with Arlo. Even after betraying his own country, he still could not defeat Cassian. He would have done so long ago if he could."Are you serious?" Virgil asked in disbelief.Ronin gave a wry smile. "The soldiers won't obey me since I am only respected. They need someone they fear to force them to fight on the battlefield."Everyone fell silent at that answer. They had had Ronin as President for almost five years, so they were familiar with a

    The suffocating silence swept across the room following Waylon's blunt statement. Everyone's words got caught in their throats, and no one dared to say a word. The truth was, they had already doubted Ronin's ability to handle the war ever since he started throwing tantrums during the meeting.The one leading the battle should possess a calmness as vast as the ocean amid a storm. How could Ronin, who was so temperamental, stay composed when things did not go according to plan?Whack!Finally, the sound of a slap shattered the silence. Waylon did not move an inch despite Ronin slapping him hard, showing his incredible physical strength.Ronin grew more offended by Waylon's reaction to the slap. Arlo's betrayal had already weighed heavily on him; now, someone from his faction added to his burden."You dare—""Of course, I dare," Waylon interrupted, his gaze growing colder. "I hate the Commander for being too hard on their soldiers. That's why I sided with you instead of him. But now I th

    Jolene flinched in shock when Ronin snatched the phone from her roughly. The trace of anger on his face grew more intense. It was understandable, considering the only thing he received after waiting for fifteen minutes was an insult."Do you think just because you're the underground ruler, you have the right to insult me? Your position is not higher than mine. Just wait and see until I destroy you!" he shouted, saliva flying from his mouth."I don't believe you can win the war," Daisy continued, mocking Ronin. "General Vance didn't come to me, but I know about the Narman Empire declaring war. Clearly, you're short on manpower if you're contacting me.""How do you know about that war?""Ghost Network can get information fast, even if it's a few minutes late. I received a report that soldiers from the Narman Empire were seen bringing several people who looked like doctors to the border."Ronin gripped the phone tightly, his strength cracking the screen until it flickered. Even so, the p

    Vance and Asher should have been seated at the military table with the others. Both of them had been sidelined from their duties in the West region because the situation there had already been under control. They were supposed to be present at the meeting, especially considering the emergency."Jolene, contact General Vance right now!" Ronin ordered, not suspecting anything. He had been observing Vance ever since Cassian was still in power and believed that Vance was an opportunist.The soldiers who had left to support Cassian were nothing more than active-duty soldiers currently under Ronin's control. Because of this, Ronin was confident that Vance would not turn against him."S-Sir, it seems General Vance has blocked your number," Jolene said nervously.Ronin frowned. "How could he dare do that? He must be drunk somewhere in a bar and hasn't read my message. Try contacting him again!""I sent him a message from my number, and it went through, but your number can't reach him at all…"

    Cassian's absence in this war did not intimidate the President's Faction. They believed they could outmatch their enemies with better weapons. The Narman Empire's economy crashed after surrendering with terms, while Weltaria continued to grow stronger.Financially, Weltaria's military was in a much better position. Humans were powerless when faced with weapons. That's what Ronin's supporters believed until they were shocked by the soldiers' response."I immediately announced the news to everyone at General Headquarters. Most of the soldiers refused to go to the battlefield. Only a few were willing, and we won't win even with good weapons," Stefan answered, trying to hold back his frustration.Ronin slammed the podium again. "What made them brave enough to make that kind of decision? They must fight for the country because it's their duty!""They're tired of the system that keeps changing. During Bertolt's leadership, the military was stagnant and didn't change much. Then, the Commande
