Chapter 0004

The teenagers whistled to see who was helping Cassian. It turned out to be Elara, dressed in a suit that highlighted her figure. She did not make a friendly expression to the teenagers, but they still tried to tease her.

One of the youths winked at her. "Sexy and nice too. How about we have a cup of coffee together, Mommy?"

His friends giggled. They did not think Elara was dangerous since this cafe was not a hangout for influential rich people.

The guy who flirted with Elara was Maverick. His father owned a lot of property in Lumithorn. He had influence in this city, so he was unafraid of anyone.

"Are you playing hard to get?" Maverick was not happy that Elara was ignoring him. He was offended that she was paying more attention to Cassian.

"You're going to let her be arrogant?" His friend whispered, trying to provoke him. "You're not going to jail just for hitting a woman, are you?"

Maverick smirked. His juvenile delinquency had gotten him arrested by the police a few times. But thanks to his father's money, he got off scot-free.

"Woman, I'll give you a chance. If you answer me quickly, I won't do anything bad to you."

Elara still ignored Maverick. She returned the stick to Cassian and helped him stand up properly.

The customers in the cafe did not pay the slightest attention to Cassian even though they knew he was being bullied. They recognized Maverick was a rich kid who liked to cause trouble around here, so they decided to avoid confronting him.

"You fucking arrogant!" Maverick shouted angrily, intending to slap Elara's face.

But with lightning speed, Elara caught Maverick's wrist and twisted it. Her expression stayed neutral as the young man cried out in pain.

Seeing that, his friends were stunned because they did not expect Elara to have such good reflexes.

Maverick tried to remove his hand from Elara but failed. He shouted to his friends, "What are you doing? Hurry up and hit this woman! She's just lucky to avoid my attack."

His friends did not hesitate to attack Elara because they thought she was lucky. They had already made the wrong move by dealing with the best soldier in Walteria's military.

In seconds, Elara had the teenagers thrown to the floor. She forced them to their knees before her.

"Look, kids, I can do worse than this. But I'm showing you mercy since I'm not on the battlefield!"

Cassian watched the situation silently, not knowing who was helping him. But after hearing Elara's voice, he knew it was his assistant.

The teenagers were trembling with fear. They did not fight any woman; she was a soldier!

Elara's identity also shocked the customers. No wonder she dared to beat up the teenagers regardless of their backgrounds.

"P-Please forgive us. We didn't know you were a soldier!"

Elara snorted. "Brats, don't you realize what you've done wrong? Apologize to this man!"

Without waiting for long, the teenagers rushed to hug Cassian's legs.

"Sir, we're guilty of playing tricks on you!"

"We are young, so please forgive us."

"We won't do it again."

They apologized fearfully because the position of soldiers was so strong in the country for the time being. People respected those who had created peace. Maverick's father would not want to deal with soldiers to protect his troublemaking son.

"I forgive you as long as you don't cause trouble again. If I hear you troubling people, I won't tolerate it."

Cassian did not want to prolong the matter of forgiving the teenagers, who immediately ran away. He had a more important problem: Elara's unexpected presence.

"Why are you here? You should be in the capital enjoying the rewarding ceremony."

Elara replied with teary eyes, "How could I leave you? I am your assistant. Just look at those brats bothering you!"

"Those kinds of people are everywhere."

"But where is your wife? She should be helping you at a time like this."

With a wry smile, Cassian explained, "Aveline divorced me. We don't have any relationship anymore."

Elara had only arrived at the café moments ago, so she had no idea what had happened between Cassian and Aveline. She was furious with Aveline's disrespectful behavior.

"She's completely out of line! I can't allow this. Let me take your revenge on her!"

Cassian shook his head. "Instead of that, we have something more important to do."

"What's that?"

"You will find out when we get to Victory Hills."

Although Cassian did not give a detailed explanation, Elara swiftly escorted him to Victory Hills. It was the most expensive and noble community in the city.

Only certain people had access to it. Because of this, the guards directly stopped Cassian and Elara. There was no way a member of Victory Hills would be driving a cheap car.

Elara and Cassian had to get out of the car. She asked the guards kindly, "Is something wrong?"

The guards were mesmerized by Elara's curvy body. They started thinking of dirty things, which made them end up teasing her.

"Miss, I'm better than this blind man," a guard sneered at Cassian when he realized he was blind. "If you can satisfy me, I will consider you to enter Victory Hills."

Elara gritted her teeth in annoyance and almost hit the giggling guards. But Cassian quickly restrained her.

"Don't act disrespectful. I have this," Cassian pulled out an access card.

Instead of trying the card on the gate, the guards mocked him.

"Not only is this guy blind, he's also crazy!"

"Where did he get that fake card? It's almost identical to the real one."

"This villa is only accessible to the rich in Lumithorn. There's no way a blind man driving a cheap car would have access to Victory Hills!"

As Cassian and Elara still did not leave, the guards became annoyed.

"Miss, please take this crazy man home if you have no intention of having fun with us. Leave right now before we use violence!" the security team captain threatened.

Cassian ignored the threat and made a call instead. His actions infuriated the guards.

They were not messing around with the threat. Since Cassian disobeyed them, they pulled out their batons to destroy his car.

"Take care of them!" Cassian gave Elara a short order.

The guards laughed, thinking Elara was no match for them. Victory Hills' security team had special training. How could they lose to a woman?

Elara set up her stance and smiled mockingly. Seeing her arrogant attitude, the guards did not hesitate to throw their baton attacks at her.

They could not see what happened next. Elara dodged the guards' attacks effortlessly, grabbed their batons, and knocked them to the ground.

"How can the most expensive community in the city have such a weak security team?" she thumped her chest, glaring scornfully at the guards.

They were terrified that Elara was stronger than their trainer. But the captain could not lose his pride so easily.

He yelled, "You will be crushed when the community administrator comes! Don't think you've won just because you beat us!"

"Is that so?" Elara grinned sarcastically.

The captain clenched an angry fist and took a walkie-talkie to contact the administrator. But he saw a man running toward the gate.

He beamed because it was Ace, the administrator. "Your lives are over. The administrator is coming!"

The guards were glad with Ace's appearance at the gate. They thought he came because he knew there was a crazy man causing trouble.

But Ace did not even glance at the security team once. He ran hurriedly towards Cassian and knelt to him.

"Sir, what are you doing?" asked the captain in confusion.

"Shut up!" Ace glared furiously. His expression became pitiful as he looked at Cassian. "Please show kindness to the guards of our community. They don't realize who you are!"

The guards were dumbfounded by Ace's attitude. As an administrator, he clearly had the power in Lumithorn to be entrusted with managing Victory Hills.

But who was Cassian to bring Ace to his knees?
