Being defeated by a woman alone was humiliating for Hunter and Eliot. They would never forget what Elara had done to them.

Today was supposed to be Elara's funeral, but she was still arrogant and disrespectful to Asher.

Not knowing about the Phantom Legion, Eliot fearlessly rebuked Elara, "Are you out of your mind? This man in front of you is the honorable Lieutenant Asher!"

"I heard you went to the battlefield representing the West family. It seems like you were just playing around there, so you couldn't recognize Lieutenant Asher," Hunter continued speaking, not noticing Asher staring at him with a murderous gaze.

"It's obvious that you and this guy are just lowly soldiers!" Eliot sneered again. This time, he kicked Cassian's leg. "Kneel respectfully to the Lieutenant!"

The kick was powerful, but it had no effect on Cassian. The Twilight Family taught secret martial arts techniques to all its members.

Unlike ordinary people, Eliot could crush a rock with his kick. He swallowed nervo

    "You must know what to do," Cassian smiled at Asher."Yes, sir! I will punish those who deserve it."Hunter and Elliot gasped as Asher pulled them to their feet. They thought it was time they were punished.But Asher gave them orders instead, "Take Liam and anyone close to him to the first floor! I want him unharmed because I'm going to finish him off myself!"His desire to kill was even stronger than when he dealt with the West."We'll do our best for you!"Although still shocked, Hunter and Elliot could move quickly. After cleaning their wounds as best they could, they went to the second floor, where the guests gathered.The guests reflexively stepped back as Asher's two subordinates approached them. The smell of blood was still present even though Hunter and Elliot had washed their wounds."Why are they here? I didn't hear anything from downstairs.""It looks like Lieutenant Asher hasn't executed them yet.""Are they still looking for West's family members? I heard these two are lo

    Isabella immediately lost her respect for Silas. "How could you just leave Miss Aveline like that? You said you loved her!" she scoffed.Silas growled. "Shut your mouth, you lowly woman! Do you think I would sacrifice my precious life for Aveline?""What a loser!""Don't go too far. I'm sure that boss of yours approached me on purpose to save his crazy brother from trouble."While the two were arguing, Asher glanced at Cassian for an opinion. Cassian nodded, signaling for Asher to let Silas go."Are you really not related to Aveline?" Asher asked.Thoughtfully, Silas nodded his head. "That's right. I'm just her college friend. We have no relationship whatsoever!""Alright. Since you're innocent, you can go!""Thank you very much, Lieutenant. I'll tell my family about your generosity!"Without a glance at Aveline, Silas ran out of the Riveria Restaurant with his bodyguards."How could he betray us?" Stella muttered in disbelief, remembering that it was Silas who had asked to see his da

    "Tell me who is involved with your plan!" Asher interrogated while continuing to torture Liam mercilessly. "Did another organization tell you to do this?"Sobbing, Liam replied hoarsely, "N-No one told me. My mom and I planned this to destroy Cassian. I didn't know the problem would be this big!""Don't lie! Tell me the truth.""I mean it. No one else is involved in this plan."Even though Liam had told the truth, Asher continued to torture him until he lost consciousness. He was afraid that someone else was involved.If he missed anything again, Cassian would not stay silent. Just imagining it gave him goosebumps."Please stop beating my son. We're guilty! He's telling the truth," Stella roared, looking at her son's blood-soaked body.Asher's brutal whipping tore Liam's clothes. The originally white shirt had now turned crimson red."Looks like you're telling the truth," Asher concluded from looking at Liam's condition.He could guess that Liam was a spoiled kid from a wealthy family

    "Mom, what exactly happened to Dad? He's in terrible shape," Elara asked while Cassian was still checking on her father.With tears in her eyes, Hannah explained, "Your father begged those thugs to let you go, but they beat him so badly. The doctor said the wound is strange and incurable.""Don't worry. Cassian can save Dad."Tears stopped rolling down Hannah's cheeks in shocked reaction to her daughter's words. "That can't be true. If the doctor couldn't fix the wound, how could Cassian?" she refused to believe."Cassian helped me from those thugs, so he should be able to handle this," Elara grasped her mother's hand, trying to reassure her.The nurse sneered, "So that you know, the doctors don't know what ails this patient. You should pay an expensive doctor to treat him."The government covers ordinary patients' treatment. Although paying a doctor would be very expensive, the nurse suggested it because no doctor would be willing to treat Samuel's wound for free.The wound had an un

    The person who panicked the most was obviously Hannah. Tears were streaming down her cheeks again. The thought of losing her husband was driving her crazy.She tried to pull out the acupuncture needles, but Elara held her back. "Let go of me! Don't you care about your father?" she snapped."It's a sign that Cassian's treatment is working. Just be patient, Mom. You'll be satisfied with the result," Elara responded calmly."How can you still trust him after witnessing your father's condition?"While Hannah was throwing a tantrum, the doctors were secretly grinning slyly. It was not just them who witnessed Cassian actions.The people in the ward could testify to what happened today. When the news of Samuel's death was announced, everyone would blame Cassian.They would forget Ivan, who failed to save Samuel during the golden time. The one who benefited from this incident was him.That's why he did not try to remove the acupuncture needles. He would leave them in place until Samuel breath

    "Why are you acting like that? Don't make trouble," Hannah warned, worried that the doctors were showing a bad reaction.Becoming a doctor required a lot of money as the tuition fees in Weltaria were expensive. It was obvious that the doctors came from prominent families and could do what they wanted in this hospital.Ivan sneered, "You're getting arrogant with just one medical skill. Remember, others are better than you!""That's right. It's only one technique, so why do you want it so badly?" Cassian did not flinch at all, even though the doctors and nurses gave him threatening looks."Lowlifes like you can't understand the situation. I'm the owner's nephew. With one call, I can get this patient out of here!"Hannah gasped in shock as Ivan pointed at Samuel. She immediately hugged her husband. "His condition is not stable. He needs further treatment. Don't throw him out of here!"Seeing Hannah plead made Ivan grin happily. This was how people should behave in front of him.Almost al

    On a special floor of VIP rooms, West's family members were waiting for Scott to be treated by a doctor. They frowned when they saw a nurse carrying Samuel in a wheelchair."Didn't Elara get a call that he was in critical condition? How can he still be alive?" Emily whispered, disappointed that Samuel did not die today.The others were also confused because Samuel looked a bit limp but was fine and in far from critical condition."Looks like Elara spent some money on treatment," Olivia commented when she saw Elara appear. "Her salary as a manager isn't bad. That's why she dared to move her father here!"For serious cases, an overnight stay in an elite VIP room could cost up to $10,000 per night, compared to the standard VIP room, which was only $2,000.Elara moved Samuel to an elite room, meaning she would have to spend tens of dollars until her father recovered."Huh, why are you all here?" Samuel was surprised to see his family. For a moment, he was happy, thinking they had come to

    Isabella felt bad for what Aveline was going through. But she did not want to get involved in the issue between her boss and Stella.Aveline's hand trembled as she touched her reddened cheek. She did not expect Stella to slap her so hard.The most surprising thing was that her mother showed no expression of regret. Instead, Stella continued to talk about Liam."You know that Liam is used to getting the best care. Imagine if he stayed in a regular ward. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!"It was true that Liam had never joined other patients when he was hospitalized. He must have had a hard time adapting to this situation.But Aveline could not spoil her brother anymore after what happened today. Pushing her mother, she shouted, "Did you forget that we got into trouble because of that kid?!""Watch your language. This is all because of Cassian and that lowly woman. They must have incited Lieutenant Asher to persecute my son," Stella was still defending Liam even though her son

    All the guests immediately rose from their seats to welcome the president's arrival. Two guards opened the large wooden doors carved with birds and clouds while Ronin walked in with his hands behind his back. He came alone, without anyone accompanying him.Normally, there would always be a presidential security team at events like this, but not a single guard was seen. Everyone was too delighted by Ronin's presence to question its strangeness."Am I interrupting something?" Ronin asked, aware that the ceremony had paused because of his arrival.The host chuckled lightly to ease the tension. "Of course not! You're right on time, Sir. We've just begun the main event. Your arrival is our best gift, so you could never be interrupted!"Ronin glanced across the room but could not find Cassian anywhere. His spies had also reported that Cassian was not present at any other location. That meant he had to wait until Cassian arrived, and he disliked the emptiness of the wait."May I offer someth

    Weltaria Hall of Culture has been transformed into a magnificent and glittering space to celebrate the Harmony Gala. Diamond chandeliers and golden chairs wrapped in silk added an unmatched level of luxury, far more spectacular than the capital's birthday party yesterday.Every corner was filled with elegant plates carrying expensive appetizers like escargot and world-class sushi. At the same time, waiters swiftly served champagne and exclusive cocktails to guests before the main event began.Journalists were seen in various corners broadcasting the event preparations. Almost every television channel would air it live. Even the internet today would be flooded with news about the Harmony Gala.Although people knew the event was secretly used as a stage to show off, they did not mind because they were happy to see so much money being spent to help those in need. In other separate buildings, orphans were eating together with officials, who were only there to take photos to post on their

    "The President will meet you tomorrow at the Harmony Gala. Get ready to see him beg!" a girl's voice came through Cassian's earphones. She continued with satisfaction, "Finally, this country's problem is getting solved! I can't wait to rest after Ronin gets what he deserves.""Thanks for your hard work, Sadie. You know you can rest anytime by passing your duties to someone else," Cassian replied with a smile, even though the girl could not see it.Sadie was the daughter of the owners of the biggest tech company in Weltaria. Since childhood, she has shown her intelligence and often appeared in the news. Her parents introduced her to Cassian; since then, she has insisted on becoming the Commander's personal hacker.She also hacked Vance's phone and saved him from Ronin, who almost read Cassian's message. With her help, Vance and Cassian could exchange information safely. Her intelligence was far above average, and she could even breach the security of Ronin's phone.That had happened a

    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
