The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 69
"I bet you used dirty tricks to take out our comrade!" a guard accused.Before more people thought Ironclad was unqualified, he had to make them believe Elara was the bad one.Elara laughed as she released the guard in her grip. "Why don't you guys go up against me? That way, you can determine whether I'm using dirty tricks or not."The guards looked at each other, signaling to team up against Elara. But before they could take another step, a woman's shout made them halt."Stop right there! What's going on?"The receptionists and guards looked afraid as the bespectacled woman with long hair appeared. It was Greta, Franklin's secretary, who was famous for her strictness.If she thought a hospital worker was incompetent, she would fire them without hesitation. All the staff at Lakeside Care Center were scared of her.Moreover, Franklin had given Greta full authority to take whatever actions she saw fit. This meant she could dismiss an employee without needing Franklin's approval.Greta

The guards were not happy with Greta's decision. They had to make her change her mind to save their careers."This is not fair! The one at fault here is Vivian.""She's the one who told us to evict the guests.""Please don't fire us. This is the last time we'll be rash."Despite the guards' tearful pleas, Greta was not touched at all by their actions. She was a perfectionist who could not tolerate the slightest mistake."Everyone in Lakeside knows how I am. You should think before you act and not the other way around!" she snapped at the guards following Vivian's orders without considering the future.Vivian was getting dizzy as she remembered she still had a lot of installments. The workers' salaries at Lakeside were huge because the customers they served were wealthy.As a result, Vivian bought many luxurious items with twelve-month installments. She did this because she was confident that she would not be fired.Her performance was always optimal and good. This wasn't the first tim

The guards already knew about Greta's identity since she was Franklin's relation. But the problem was the two strangers who came with her."I will surely allow Miss Greta to enter. It's just that she insisted on bringing these two with her," a guard explained while pointing at Cassian and Elara.Unique identification cards were required to enter the medical congress center. It was a card obtained after a rigorous process.Cassian and Elara did not show the cards, so the guards kept them from entering. Surprisingly, Greta continued to protect them."These two are Franklin's friends. Let them in because they won't make a scene," Greta told the same thing she said when the security team asked for Cassian's identity.A puzzled frown formed on Carter's forehead. This was the first time he had seen Greta go against the rules."You should already know the rules of this congress. Even if they're friends of Doctor Franklin, they can't enter without identification," he criticized Greta's action
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 72
The doctors became even more irritated at the thought of Cassian taking bribes. They actually would take anyone qualified, no matter where they came from.Most doctors in Weltaria had the support of their families, resulting in corrupt and incompetent doctors. As a result, Franklin founded a special association for honest doctors called Pure Health.Almost all those present at the congress were members of the association. However, some did not join the association.They were usually talented doctors from wealthy families and had their circles. Cassian did not look like he came from a rich family or appeared to have any skills."You're assuming my abilities when I haven't shown anything yet," Cassian said with a smile, which increased the doctors' dislike for him.Elara glanced inside and saw the doctors in the congress center chatting while researching herbs. The idea of proving Cassian's ability came to her mind."Don't you guys have no faith in Cassian? Well, I can understand since
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 73
Sophia, the doctor who had spoken earlier, signaled to all the doctors to remain calm. If the security team alone failed to hold Cassian, then there was nothing they could do.They just needed to listen to his nonsense until Ironclad sent strong guards. Hence, they did not try to kick him out."First of all, tell us about your identity. Do you know what place you are stepping on right now?" Sophia asked in a sharp voice.Cassian looked around him. The congress center was vast with a magnificent interior. Obviously, a lot of money was put into building this.He only knew a little history about the Congress of Doctors. It had been held since long ago in Weltaria.The doctors had great respect for the Congress Center, which witnessed the exchange of knowledge that helped mankind. Therefore, they were sensitive to people who tried to disrupt the congress, such as Cassian."My name is Cassian Valor," Cassian introduced himself with a friendly smile. "I am a soldier who was once in charge o
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 74
Landon's statement prevented the doctors from attacking Cassian. They did not expect the herb brew he was making was actually effective.Anyone can brew herbs, but to make them effective requires specialized knowledge. Moreover, Cassian's herbs had not yet been shown to the public.He should not know how to use the herb he called Zestbloom. Even Franklin himself had not given the herb a name."What kind of sneaky trick are you up to?" Austin was still skeptical of Cassian. "That oil you used! I'm sure it's dangerous!"Holly nodded in agreement. "You mixed the herb brew with the oil. It may have positive effects, but the negative side effects are huge," she accused.Several doctors agreed with Holly. They were doubtful because Cassian had added something else to the herb mixture."We should wait until the congress is over. Who knows if the negative effects will appear after a few hours?" Carter argued, worrying about Landon.However, Landon ignored the doctors as he focused on his body
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 75
Ironclad had received a report from the security team in charge of congressional security. The company immediately dispatched a special team that was only deployed to deal with dangerous people.If only the special team had arrived fifteen minutes ago, the doctors would have welcomed them happily. But the situation had taken an unexpected turn.They no longer wanted Cassian to leave the congress. Instead, they hoped he would stay because he had unique knowledge."Why are you all silent? Did that man threaten you?" a bodyguard approached cautiously.Sophia quickly took action to clear up the misunderstanding. "We're sorry, but there is no problem at the congress. This man is not a dangerous person. He's a military medical expert.""What's his name?""If I remember correctly, it's Cassian Valor."The bodyguard signaled to his other comrade to look for information on Cassian. Unlike other organizations or companies, Ironclad had access to military secrets because Ronin supported them.Ho
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 76
"Wait a moment, Doctor Franklin! We can't just let you leave with Mister Valor," Sophia said, representing the other doctors who were curious about Cassian's identity.Their interest in him increased after Franklin addressed him as master. Clearly, he was not someone to be looked down upon.Landon supported Sophia's words. "Could you introduce Master Valor to us first?" he asked politely."We're discussing herbs here with him. It would be very unpleasant if he suddenly left," Miles added.Before the special team arrived, Cassian explained his knowledge of treating hybrid herbs. He was describing a method he had developed himself.It was a method the doctors had never heard of, not even from Franklin. Hence, they looked forward to listening to his explanation until the end.Franklin glanced at Cassian for his opinion. When Cassian nodded, he formally introduced him."This man is Cassian Valor, a medical expert in the military and my master. I have learned many things from him. He is kn

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
Chapter 397
"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
Chapter 395
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
Chapter 394
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
