Elara stood up and tapped Olivia on the shoulder. "Excuse me, can you get out of my way?" she smirked.

Olivia could only grit her teeth at Elara's action. She had no choice but to return to her seat, letting her cousin walk past her.

As Elara walked towards the stage, people still gossiped softly about her. They examined her appearance from head to toe.

"Who is that? I don't remember anyone like that in the West family."

"This is the first time I've seen her. I thought Olivia would be the family representative."

"If she's not the representative, why is she coming to the party? It's the same as embarrassing herself."

People's whispers reached Olivia's ears. Embarrassed and upset, she lowered her head to avoid people's eyes.

Aveline looked at Cassian, but he acted like she did not exist. She could not understand how she felt but was mad that the woman who came with her ex-husband seemed better than her.

On the stage, Elara stood beside the representatives of the Greythorn and Avi

    "That must be him! Runaway soldiers are more despicable than anything in this country," Liam responded furiously. Weltaria had a strong military compared to other countries. It was said that other countries feared Weltaria's military, so they tried to destroy the Great Commander during the war with the Narman Empire. They were worried about the Great Commander, who could control the entire military in just a short period. He was a living legend, not just in Weltaria but in other countries as well. Everyone despised soldiers who fled the battlefield for disrespecting the Great Commander. Society did not want to accept that kind of soldier. "I heard that soldiers who run away can't get jobs. They can ruin a company's reputation," Stella continued, increasingly convinced that Cassian's background ruined her daughter's business. Aveline's eyes turned red with anger. "I thought so, too. Even after the divorce, he's still a parasite to me!" Her hatred for Cassian grew. She had to expla

    Before Elara could speak, her family attacked her with insults."You left home for three years and gained nothing for the West family. Instead, you embarrassed us by not coming to the Grand Ceremony!""I'm ashamed to claim you as part of the West family. Are you playing around on the battlefield?""You should be making connections in the military, not coming back empty-handed!"Olivia grinned as everyone in the family supported her. A sneaky idea popped into her head.She told Scott, "Grandpa, I heard Mr. Peter needs a fourth wife. Why don't we give Elara to him instead?""Hm, that's a good idea. She will be useful if she marries a rich man because it brings our family more business," Scott stroked his chin, considering Olivia's suggestion.Elara held back the anger that erupted within her. Even after three years, her family still treated her as if she was not human."Grandpa, I reject that suggestion!" she refused boldly.Scott glanced at Elara and realized a big, tall man was standi

    "Grandpa, I apologize for making a scene," Olivia spoke up immediately to maintain a good image in front of Scott. She sobbed, "I'm just sad that Elara ignored her cousin in favor of power."Elara wanted to defend herself, but Scott looked at her angrily. Whatever came out of her mouth would not change the situation."You should be grateful to be recognized as part of the West family by Mr. Logan. But you want to control the family business all by yourself?" Scott gave Elara a sharp look."She even tried to flirt with my daughter's boyfriend! How shameless!" Emily fell for Olivia's lie and believed Elara was trying to seduce Nathaniel because he was from an influential family.The situation was already in Olivia's favor. There would be no one to defend Elara if Scott had spoken up.As long as the West family believed Olivia, Elara would be the scapegoat. Her parents would not even dare say anything."Let's just forget about this," Olivia wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "The imp

    Scott's face tensed up in anger. He could not believe Cassian still dared to interfere after being threatened by him."You seem to have grown bold just because you are a soldier," he scoffed at Cassian. "But this isn't a battlefield where you will be praised for your bravery. You will die young if you behave like this in front of a first-tier family!"Since Cassian was not afraid of the second-tier West family, Scott deliberately brought in the first-tier family to pressure him. Even if someone had been on the battlefield, they should have known that first-tier families were influential.An ordinary soldier who did not come from any great family like Cassian would tremble in fear. The first-tier families could destroy anyone they wanted in this country."And the West family will soon become a first-tier family. Bridge Point will help us achieve that position," Scott continued.But even after those words, Cassian remained unaffected. His gaze seemed to say that any family did not matte

    Elara chose not to reach out to Logan after finding out what Cassian wanted. Her attention returned to the West family who were still happy about the partnership with Bridge Point.Her parents stood awkwardly among the others because no one cared about them. The West family treated her parents like they did not exist."You're right. We can make things more interesting," Elara muttered, remembering that her family had looked down upon her for years.It would not be fun if she finished them in one fell swoop. She wanted them to go through the same agony as her and her parents.Scott winced as he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he found Cassian and Elara smiling at him."Are you still refusing to admit that you were wrong?" he gave Elara a sharp look."I have done nothing wrong, Grandpa," Elara replied casually."So, you still think you're the one who helped the West family?""That's the truth."Olivia's forehead wrinkled, and her lips pouted. "If you were really close t

    Jesse, the waiter, noticed that Cassian and Liam's looks were as different as heaven and earth. Cassian was only wearing simple clothes that were not made of quality materials.One would even think Rivera Restaurant's napkins were more expensive than Cassian's attires. Meanwhile, Liam looked luxurious in a navy suit from Ruff Lauren.His nice Oxford shoes were made by the luxury brand Silktoni. His shiny cufflinks must have been picked from another fancy brand for his style."Why haven't you made up your mind yet?" Liam was getting annoyed with Jesse, who was paying attention to him and Cassian instead.Pointing at Cassian again, he continued, "Look at this guy's cheap suit. Are there any Riveria customers who wear clothes like that?""The quality of the restaurant will go down if you let people like them in," Ruby threw a disgusted look at Cassian and Elara as if they were dirt.She deliberately tucked her hair into her ears to show off her diamond earrings from Carptier. It was this

    Liam was surprised that Cassian knew about the termination of Bridge Point's partnership with Aveline's business. He only knew the short story from his sister and did not listen further because Ruby asked for a dinner date.'How could this loser know about that?' he thought suspiciously.It seemed that Stella's guess was correct. Cassian was the one who caused Bridge Point not to renew the cooperation contract.Worried that Aveline's ex-husband would tarnish the company's reputation, Logan decided to postpone the cooperation.That was what Liam believed at the moment. But he did not want to ask Cassian about it, fearing that Ruby would know about the partnership termination."What are you talking about? Your head must have been hurt on the way here for you to say such nonsensical things," Liam tried to look confident.Ruby, who knew nothing, backed him up. "Only certain people know Bridge Point's decision tonight. You're obviously a nobody!""Neither are you. You don't know anything b

    The lobby was silent for a moment before it was filled with Liam's loud laughter. He was surprised to see Cassian pull out the card. He did not expect that Cassian would still dare to make trouble with him."Private room? Now I'm sure you've completely lost your mind," Liam taunted, his stomach hurting from laughing so much.Only VIP customers could access the private room at the Riveria Restaurant. Liam could not even get one despite begging Aveline for a week.The requirements to become a VIP customer were to have an influential position in the country, abundant wealth, a good reputation, and to be from at least a second-tier family.Before Cassian married Aveline, Liam knew him as an ordinary soldier brought by Sawyer, his grandfather.If Cassian's background were so excellent, Sawyer would definitely treat him with great respect. Before Sawyer died, Cassian respected him and never acted insolently.That was why Liam believed Cassian was just a lucky person his grandfather picked u

    "Then, I'll give the public some understanding. Please send the new drones as soon as possible, and monitor the other borders well. I'm worried that those officials and rich people might cause trouble over there," Ruth said with a hint of humor.At the other border, the officials and wealthy people who had once supported Ronin were sent to hold back the Narman forces. Elara chuckled as she watched this through drone footage."Don't worry. General Davis is there to handle everything," Elara replied, her eyes flashing with a ruthless gleam.Her intention in sending the officials and wealthy people was not to kill them but to torture them. Davis was at that border to ensure the enemy would not kill them. He also shared Elara's belief that they should go through a traumatic experience as punishment."Be careful there, Colonel. You're one of the most targeted people since you oversee everything. Make sure you always carry a weapon with you," Ruth warned seriously.Elara touched the pocket

    Steel Cutthroat has five battleships with equipment that could be very useful. Accepting them to fight on Weltaria's side would bring many benefits. Moreover, most pirates spend most of their time exploring the seas and rarely have loved ones who could make them hesitate to die.Many soldiers still have families, so they tend to think twice before taking risks. That is a normal attitude, showing that they are still human. But courage without burdens, like the one pirates have, can be a hard weapon to match in war."We have cannons, energy firearms, missile launchers, anti-submarine rockets, and modern naval guns," Fenwick continued, sounding like a salesman trying to meet a target.Bertolt raised his hand, signaling for him to stop. "I understand you want to join Weltaria's forces, but I'm not the one who makes decisions here. Let me contact Colonel Elara first to pass it on to the Commander," he responded wisely.Although Bertolt was the second most influential person in the military

    Yvan continued to pursue, firing missile after missile, although none hit their target. However, the constant pressure from the air was wearing down the four officers. Their defensive techniques started weakening, and their protective energy, known as the vital shell, was slowly depleting due to exhaustion."Watch out! That missile could be made from the same material as those blue bullets!" Diego shouted, his sharp eyes tracking the missile's direction while maneuvering in the air.A Narman fighter jet appeared shortly after, blocking Captain Yvan from firing at the senior officers. The two jets chased each other, firing AIM-9 Sidewinders and M61 Vulcan cannons in the mountain air. Explosions and bullets flew, destroying rocks and trees, while Yvan made sharp maneuvers to avoid the attacks."Do they think they can just escape like that?" Bertolt hissed, staring at the senior officers who had evaded the aerial assault. "Fire at those four important people and ignore the provocation fr

    Diego was jolted in shock, his eyes wide open as he watched Raul fall with his body convulsing. "Medic, check on him now!"The combat medic rushed to save Raul, while Diego slammed his brandy glass down the moment he realized the bullet had entered through that small crack."How could they breach my formation? They'd need high-quality energy ammunition, probably imported from powerful nations like Argon," he muttered in disbelief."A-Admiral!" the military doctor called out in panic. "Captain Raul is dead! His core was destroyed, and that caused fatal damage to his body. The Weltarian shooter used a much stronger energy bullet!""What did you just say, you damned fool?" Diego snapped, grabbing the doctor by the collar and throwing him aside. He crouched to examine Raul's body, and sure enough, his skin had turned bluish, with blood seeping out of his pores.This was not the first time he had seen something like this, so he was not horrified, unlike the paramedics. That condition often

    Two amphibious assault ships were seen floating on the sea, supported by gunboats and fast attack craft for fire support in the narrow waters. This task unit was led by Rear Admiral Diego, who had received orders from Arlo to launch an attack on the cities near the border. One of the ships carried two thousand soldiers, which meant four thousand, not including the support troops.Arlo had also sent another fleet behind them because they had difficulty breaking through the various formations that Cassian had set up in other regions. They focused more on destroying the protective formations at the border, as it was the quickest route to reach Weltaria.The formations had been destroyed, and the Narman forces were ready to attack. Diego squinted his eyes when he could not see the soldiers from Weltaria who had been defeated in the previous battle."Try to bring that drone closer to the shore," he ordered the drone operator. When the drone recorded the area, he still could not find the We

    "We will continue advancing but still maintain the ambush strategy," Bertolt instructed as he led the sniper team to the next hiding spot at the foot of the mountain. "Emperor Arlo hasn't discovered Soul Essence, and that's our advantage. He will surely send more soldiers because the protective array formation here has been breached!"The snipers responded in unison, "Roger that, sir!"They shared the same mindset as Elara, sticking to the ambush tactic of hiding and attacking the enemy once they passed a certain point. If the Narman soldiers were crossing the river, the snipers from Weltaria would immediately attack.At the same time, combat medics from Weltaria were deployed to save the wounded soldiers at the foot of the mountain. These soldiers came from the branch headquarters and were fighting because General Headquarters refused to respond.Rosalie was among the combat medics, administering first aid swiftly. She was also physically strong, carrying two soldiers at once to be m

    As Bertolt had expected, the bullet could penetrate the shield since Argon was not using a material capable of withstanding the essence of a core crystal. Only Cassian knew how to create a counter for Soul Essence bullets since he was the one who successfully developed this new weapon."You're dead now, you jerks!" Francesca shouted, jumping out of her hiding spot due to her excitement."Hey, watch out!" Patel grabbed her and pulled her down just in time as a shot from the enemy missed, failing to hit her because she had already ducked."Sorry about that," Francesca apologized, smiling awkwardly at her teammates, who glared at her. She quickly returned to her position and aimed at the visible enemy. "Wow, look at their faces. They're so confused! Let's kill them and leave them wondering what destroyed their precious shield!"The snipers from Weltaria did not need Bertolt's orders to open fire because they knew exactly what to do. They were the best long-range marksmen, specially selec

    Cassian walked around the rows of soldiers, his footsteps echoing with each click of his boots, adding tension to the atmosphere as he spoke emotionally."I didn't abandon you like you did to me. You stayed silent when the bad rumors about me spread; some may have even believed them. Despite that, I accepted you back because I believe in your strength. No one in all of Weltaria can replace you. That's why I'm allowing you to fight alongside me again. You are irreplaceable!"Each word he spoke struck deep, touching the hearts of the soldiers. When the rumors about Cassian spread, they had not tried to refute them. Their disappointment led them to believe those rumors were true. Moreover, the silence from their Commander only strengthened their belief in the rumors.The soldiers felt relief and guilt after learning that Cassian had left the military due to Ronin and Arlo's schemes. They now understood the real reason for Cassian's departure. He had never intended to leave them, only tem

    Every cultivator has a core, but high-quality ones are difficult to obtain. Soul Essence cannot help either, as its energy bullets would destroy the target's core. The only way to get the core is to weaken the target and take it when they are on the brink of death.The soldiers would not have frustrated expressions if Cassian's only requirement were the core. They could easily take cores from weaker Narman soldiers, but they needed to defeat the stronger ones to obtain a high-quality core."Are there no other conditions? I don't mind working without pay," Norman sighed deeply, rubbing the Soul Essence in his hand. He had been eagerly waiting for such a powerful weapon, but he made the mistake of betraying Cassian, and he did not want the Commander to fire him because of that.Stefan hit Norman on the head with his military helmet. "Don't ask for too much. You should be grateful that the Commander is giving you this opportunity. We went down the wrong path by siding with Ronin, but he
