Cassian wore a mask when he attended the film premiere, but Callista was sure that the mysterious man was him. The man had the same physique and eye color as Cassian.

Suddenly, Terrence's words flashed through Callista's mind. The director had told her not to talk about Cassian if she wanted to keep her career safe. Her body stiffened as she remembered the misfortunes that had befallen Ashlyn, Tate, and Cade.

"Who do you think you are, trying to kick me out? Even the President allowed me to stay here," Zeke responded to Gina's rude remark, furrowing his brow.

"The President is a generous man, so he didn't ban you from staying anywhere," Gina said, her opinion of Zeke worsening. "But you should leave rather than ruin the reputation of Victory Hills!"

"The requirement to live in this neighborhood is owning property, and I've met that requirement. In fact, Victory Hills' reputation would be ruined if they kicked me out, as I'm a legitimate resident here."

    The disturbance caused by Gina and Callista had no effect on Cassian. He ignored them as if they were passing flies. His killing intent was more than enough to suppress ordinary people.Zeke invited Cassian and Elara to his house for a private conversation. They had an hour left before attending the West family's party to celebrate Boostix's success."Commander, I was kicked out of the Hawthorne family because of the President. But actually, my relationship with my parents is still good. They even agreed to fund the Soul Essence project," Zeke said proudly."That's because I managed to convince them," Elara added, causing Zeke to grumble. "With the remaining funds, we can produce more weapons!"With Soul Essence, Cassian was destined to win against Arlo. The more deadly weapons there were, the easier it would be for him to defeat his enemies. But another thought crossed his mind when he heard about the new funding."We already have enough weapons for preparation. I will deploy the Axi

    Since the list of rebels had been released, Scott worried that Elara and Zeke's friendship would bring trouble to the West family. He used to admire Zeke, but everything changed after the rebellion.Gabriel, head of the Hawthorne family, had issued a statement declaring Zeke was no longer the heir. People dared not mock Gabriel if their status was far beneath his. They had no problem insulting Zeke now that he was nothing but a former general and a rebel."Grandpa, you were so proud when Elara befriended Zeke because he came from a top family. But look at him now. He's worth less than a homeless man," Olivia sneered. She was the happiest when she learned Zeke was involved in the rebellion.Nathaniel wrapped his arm around Olivia's waist and chuckled softly. "I can't wait for Cassian's true colors to be exposed. I'm sure he got kicked out of the military because he caused some major trouble," he murmured assuredly.At that moment, Elara arrived at the mansion with Cassian. They had fin

    "I don't think your decision is wise. You should have the guards tape Cassian's mouth and throw him into the forest," Olivia opposed.Scott glared at her. "The guests are already here. Don't cause unnecessary trouble!" he warned before going to the entrance door."It's surprising to see Grandpa ignore you. He always listens to you," Elara said with a fake concerned tone.Since the Boostix sales had skyrocketed and made the news, Scott had been paying more attention to Samuel. He ignored Thomas, who could not create a rival product to Boostix, which affected Olivia."But he thinks Grandpa still cares about him," Hazel added with a mocking laugh. "From now on, you'd better flatter Elara if you don't want to be thrown out. Lower your pride a bit.""You're such a bitch! I should have stepped on you first," Olivia cursed, regretting not bullying Hazel the way she did to Elara.She never thought the situation would change like this. That's why she used to treat Hazel well because she flatte

    The guests were already aware of Olivia and Nathaniel's relationship. They had come as Scott's guests, so most of them were familiar with the history of the West family.On the outside, Olivia was known as Scott's intelligent granddaughter, who worked well as a CEO. Only those close to her knew that her secretary always handled complex tasks.She was supposed to maintain her composure at this party but was used to being rude, so she could not filter her words. As a result, the Starling family was embarrassed because of her."I wonder why Madam Betsy would associate with the West family. It turns out her grandson has a similar attitude to Olivia," a guest responded to Cassian's words with a mocking grin. She was Vanya from the Avian family.Olivia cursed inwardly as many eyes turned toward her. She did not understand how Vanya could side with Cassian to humiliate her."This is a party held by my grandfather. I don't think he'd appreciate it if you caused a scene," Olivia said, trying t

    Cassian's actions shocked everyone in the party hall. No one dared approach Allen, and even Scott took a few steps back as a sign of respect.With a relaxed attitude, Cassian talked to Allen as if they were old friends. Allen furrowed his brow in confusion as an unfamiliar man greeted him."Who are you? I'm sure I've never met you before," Allen said, confused.The guests were even more shocked by Allen's response. They waited for his reply, unsure how to react, fearing that Allen and Cassian might know each other. But it turned out that Allen was just as confused by Cassian's behavior."I knew it, Cassian is really out of his mind. I warned Elara, but she didn't listen," Nathaniel said, amused by Cassian's usual craziness.What Cassian was doing now was different from the usual madness he displayed. He had offended a few people after leaving the military. Scott still accepted Cassian because, by some miracle, the issues he caused had been resolved. But this time was different. Allen

    No one at the party imagined Cassian would make an even worse insult. Everyone was sure he would kneel and beg Allen for forgiveness for his foolishness.But Cassian chose to remain insane. He stared directly into Allen's eyes, like an eagle ready to swoop down on its prey.Allen ground his teeth so hard that veins of anger popped up on his neck and face. He no longer cared about his surroundings because Cassian had broken his patience."Rip this man's mouth open and cut off his tongue. After that, throw him into the dangerous forest. Make sure he gets eaten alive by wild beasts!" he ordered his bodyguards.Horror was visible on the guests' faces. Only a few people enjoyed watching bloody scenes, and they certainly did not like this one. Within seconds, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Cassian.A bodyguard pushed Allen's wheelchair to a safe place. "We'll make sure that bastard gets what he deserves!"Leon swallowed nervously as Cassian disappeared from sight. The large, towering bod

    Allen came to this party to find out who had been helping the West family. He did not like seeing a mid-level company like West Corp break sales records for its products.Securing a partnership with Doctor Franklin was not easy. The doctor might have done it to boost his reputation, but there could be other variables. That's why Allen would uncover the truth behind it.After learning Cassian's identity, Allen became certain that Cassian was the one behind the success of Samuel's Tiny Treats. Although the Valoric family had been crushed, their supporters still existed and operated in secret."Do you remember me now, Sir?" Cassian asked as he approached Allen. A wide smile stretched across his face, smeared with the blood of Allen's bodyguards.The last remaining bodyguard quickly stepped in to block Cassian's path. His voice trembled as he shouted, "S-Stop right there! I'll call for backup from another security team. Even if you're a fighter from Axion, you won't escape punishment!"Th

    Scott stood stunned before finally breaking into a wide smile that covered his eyes. Relief washed over him. But what made him even happier was the fact that Allen had a good relationship with Cassian."I didn't know you knew Cassian. He's a humble man and doesn't like to show off. Though his behavior can be a bit extreme, he's a good partner for my granddaughter," Scott said, wrapping his arm around Elara.As a greedy person, he certainly would not miss the chance to flatter the wealthiest man in the country. Everyone could see the happy flush spreading across his face."Is this beautiful woman Cassian's girlfriend?" Allen looked Elara up and down. "Well, Cassian has good taste, just like his father. How did your granddaughter meet Cassian?""Elara bravely volunteered for mandatory military service on behalf of the West family. She fought in the war against the Narman Empire. Cassian was a soldier, and they naturally grew close," Scott explained."That's an interesting story. Elara i

    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

    Cassian stared at the children still on stage with Humphrey, who was supposed to be accepting donations. War was not a word typically associated with children their age, but they surely understood its meaning because of the three-year war with the Narman Empire. The fear on their faces softened Cassian's heart."I hope you can still hold a weapon properly," he said, patting Leon's shoulder, indirectly indicating he would be fighting on the front."Of course I can, Lieutenant," Leon squinted, hissing as he accidentally misaddressed Cassian's title. "My bad, I'm still thinking about our past. I always knew you'd become someone great, Commander!""Go ahead. I'll handle things here."Leon winced as he saw people still throwing things at Ronin. His gaze then shifted to Hazel and Roy. "The West family deserves to be punished for troubling you and Elara. But I hope you'll show mercy to Hazel," he pleaded slightly."That's not my decision," Cassian shrugged indifferently. Then, he stepped for
