Cassian directly recalled his original intention of saving Dalton. It was to use Rosalie to interrupt Olivia.

However, his intention had increased since he learned that Dalton's illness was unusual. He had to investigate who released the secret asset to the public.

"The effects of a Viperaider bite are dangerous. You would have died had I been late to save you," Cassian explained once again.

Dalton gripped the blanket tightly. "That means the mastermind behind all this wants me dead! The Greythorn family has many enemies, so I'm having trouble figuring out who the culprit is."

"I understand. You need time to heal since you've just recovered from the danger. I agreed to cooperate with Lady Rosalie."

"That's good. Since I can't do anything, you can tell her everything you need to. I trust my granddaughter. She will not divulge this investigation."

After his son's death, Dalton could trust no one but Rosalie. His other two grandsons were not as good at handling matters like this.

    GT Group belonged to the Greythorn family and focused on real estate or commercial property development. However, it had also built several brands with official stores throughout Lumithorn City.Holders of gold cards issued by GT Group were free to buy anything at those official stores. The requirements for owning the card were complicated.One had to have a specific investment in GT Group and pay a large sum of money upfront. Not many could afford the card.Even Scott was able to get it for Olivia because of the good relationship between West Corp and GT Group. It was rare for the Greythorn family to offer a gold card for free. But Rosalie did it to show Dalton's status."My grandfather is a pillar of GT Group. You deserve to be rewarded for saving him," Rosalie said with a proud smile.She thought Cassian would be impressed with her gift. Unlike cash, the gold card was unlimited; he could even use it to buy a property."I didn't expect this, but thank you for your thoughtfulness," C

    As a parent, Samuel was pleased and proud that Elara became a manager. But his feelings changed after learning that his daughter was spending money on expensive things.He also felt guilty for not being able to give Elara a new car. If the sales of Tiny Treats were good this year, he would give her a big gift when she returned from the battlefield."How much is the monthly installment for the Paganigma? I'll help you pay it," Samuel continued with a smile.Elara could understand her father's feelings. Hence, she replied calmly, "You don't need to do that. The Paganigma has already been paid in full.""Didn't I hear wrong? All I know is that the Paganigma cost millions of dollars.""Cassian bought it in cash for me."Disbelief returned to Samuel's eyes. Even he, who came from a second-tier family, could not afford a Paganigma.How could Cassian buy such an expensive car for cash? Samuel wanted to continue interrogating Elara, but he remembered Cassian had saved him.Besides, Elara had

    People passing the parking lot were amazed to see Elara leaving her Paganigma. Compared to the other vehicles, her car stood out as the best. Its design and shiny exterior made it look better than the rest.Even Olivia's car looked ordinary next to the Paganigma. Seeing a luxury car in person was rare, so people deliberately stopped and gathered to enjoy it longer."Woah, isn't that a three-million-dollar Paganigma? I saw it on the internet!""I'm so jealous. Is the salary of the manager so big?""Well, it's bigger than our salary. But I'm sure it won't be enough to pay off the Paganigma."Negative speculations began to form in the workers' heads. From the moment Elara appeared, they already had negative thoughts about her.They were sure she was unqualified and was using her connections to become a manager. Instantly, they remembered that Elara had gotten a gold-level partnership with Bridge Point."Isn't it strange that she can suddenly buy Paganigma?" someone purposely asked in a l

    Cassian's rough palm caused Brandon some discomfort. It was strange because Brandon had never been afraid of anyone.During his high school days, he was the most feared student in the city of Lumithorn. All the teenage gangs bowed at his feet. They feared his strength in martial arts.Brandon had only ever felt that strange sensation once. That was when he met Hunter, his senior who would later become part of the underground organization!'No way. Is this guy as strong as Hunter?' Brandon thought anxiously.Because he was often involved with fighting, he could naturally sense someone stronger than him. He could not beat Hunter even in a one-on-one fight.If Cassian had the same strength as Hunter, it meant that he had indeed defeated those thugs.'On second thought, those thugs couldn't have been lying to me...'Brandon's hands were suddenly shaking. He was sure Cassian could crush his fingers in one squeeze.Instantly, he was reminded of the thugs' leader's message. Cassian was label

    Olivia stepped on Brandon's foot to remind him of their plan. Failing to target Elara, she decided to execute the backup plan of switching the target to Cassian.Her brother was supposed to insult Cassian with her. But just because of Paganigma, Brandon's attitude changed drastically.This was why Olivia was reluctant to involve her brother in other big plans with her parents. Brandon was very careless when it came to his hobbies."I don't come from any great family," Cassian replied.Brandon frowned in disappointment. "Are you pretending to be humble? I'm Elara's cousin. You can trust me with your secret!""I've told you the truth. My background is ordinary. If you don't believe me, you can find out about me from the underworld organization."Even though Cassian spoke in a humorous tone, Brandon felt insulted since he intended to ask Twilight about his background."That's not my style. I don't like asking people for favors," Brandon lied to avoid suspicions.But anyone could guess th

    Olivia had blocked Nathaniel because he was acting like a coward. Even Cassian was willing to accompany Elara until the conflict was resolved.But Nathaniel abandoned Olivia, even though they were getting married soon. He came to the office unannounced, making Olivia even more upset with him."Long time no see, Brother!" Nathaniel exclaimed as he got out of the car and saw Brandon.The West always informed him about everything, including when Brandon went abroad to study. But no one had told him about Brandon's return.This showed that West's family was still angry with Nathaniel about the incident that night. He could not blame them since he realized what a coward he was.But he was sure the Wests would have done the same had it been the Starling family that Asher arrested."Why do you guys look so tense?" Brandon was confused to hear Olivia grunt. "You should welcome Nathan properly!"Ignoring his sister's glare, Brandon admired the design of the Rills-Royale. His eyes moved between

    Nathaniel felt like swallowing sand. His voice would not come out even if he wanted to tell Olivia about his situation.Actually, the Starling family criticized him for his poor performance. His parents monitored him closely, from his job to how he spent his money.But he could not reveal the truth, knowing Olivia and Brandon would look down on him. They might compare him to Cassian."Well, you can do that if you want," Nathaniel managed to mask his nervousness and speak normally.A satisfied smile appeared on Olivia's face. She did not intend to forgive Nathaniel today.But on second thought, she needed Nathaniel to boost her reputation. The Starling family had become tier one some time ago. Her status would rise if she married Nathaniel."I will forgive you if you buy me a house in Victory Hills!"It was not just Nathaniel who gaped in shock, but Brandon as well. All the rich people in Lumithorn knew about Victory Hills.It was a housing estate with a community of influential rich p

    The Twilight members gathered inside the base after being discharged from the hospital. They were doing simple exercises to get their bodies moving.Elliot angrily slammed his crossbow when he heard a knock on the door. His arrow was close to hitting the target, but the sound interrupted his focus."Who's coming? Didn't we put a sign on the gate?" he wondered who would dare to ignore the warning."Hey, get your arrow back!" Hunter called out to Elliot as he walked towards the door. His eyes flashed cunningly as he continued, "If it's an unimportant person who shows up, just shoot him!"The other members giggled at his words. After a hard day due to Asher's punishment, they needed entertainment to relax their minds.Even Max did not show any disapproval of Hunter's idea. He ordered his subordinates to put up warning bars stating that the Twilight was out of business.No one was allowed to break the organization's rules, even if it was a VIP member. Max wondered who would dare to get in

    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
