The officers cheered inwardly at Brooks' declaration. They were finally rid of their annoying chief. Only the city council could fire a police chief, and no one would dare question Brooks' decision in Lumithorn.

Niall felt an intense tremor throughout his body, resulting in him falling to his knees and hugging Brooks' legs.

"Sir, I've never wronged you! I've always been loyal all this time. My daughter is guilty, but please give her one chance," Niall begged tremblingly.

Without mercy, Brooks kicked Niall. "You think I don't know how your daughter behaves? You're always using your power to correct her mistakes. But I kept quiet because I thought it would get better!"

"Renee's been stubborn since childhood, so I can't even control her. Don't fire me for her attitude because I had nothing to do with it!"

"Everything is your fault for not being able to educate Renee properly. Please don't waste my time listening to your begging. I won't change my mind."

At the sight of Brooks walking awa

    Weltaria's troops fell one by one. The cultivators fought desperately to restore the formation array that had been disrupted. The sea suddenly turned silent. Only the sounds of gunfire and the lingering scent of poison remained in the air.Arlo laughed in satisfaction at the scene before him. His eyes scanned the enemy bodies lying motionless."What are you going to do now, boy?" he muttered as he saw Cassian finally move.Cassian whispered to an officer to send a message through the communication control. Then he returned to his position on the deck, a smile carved on his face, completely unfitting for the current situation."Why is the Commander smiling?" General Belen frowned in confusion. "I'm sure he has a plan to handle this! We can't underestimate him."Karlos scoffed. "It might just be a bluff. He only returned to lead the military recently. Do you think he had enough time to prepare everything? He could only do that if he had a spy feeding him information far in advance."Rig

    Kellan realized his life was over when the Narman soldiers attacked Ronin's secret lab. That meant Arlo had betrayed the President, which would throw the country into chaos and put Cassian in favor. Rather than dying in vain, he thought of doing one final good deed to remind himself that he was still human.Now he admitted that he had probably developed an emotional state for the doctors, especially Franklin and Sharon. They had treated him kindly. He had even intentionally delayed Ronin's orders so that they could live a little longer."I'm glad the enemy attacked our lab because it ended up saving you indirectly. Emperor Arlo trusts me since I was once part of Ronin. I'll lie to him and say you're out gathering ingredients for the poison," Kellan explained again.Franklin let out a long sigh. "Even though it's late, I'm glad I met you. I wish we could've met under different circumstances. But here we are.""It's fine. We should focus now. Go before the guards start getting suspiciou

    Arlo had never forgotten about Franklin, especially since the first place he attacked in Weltaria was Ronin's secret lab. The doctors involved had already been taken to Narman when Ronin was still overwhelmed by the military crisis, unable to strike back."We can also use the parasite poison you developed. Even though it failed to kill the Commander, I'm sure others won't be able to endure its effects," Karlos continued enthusiastically.The bullets supplied by the Argon Republic were special because they could absorb poison and release it upon hitting a target. Karlos believed their country could match the enemy if Narman's soldiers used Franklin's poison and the parasite variant. Besides, Narman still had the advantage of a larger army."What do you think?" Jimena asked, gently stroking Arlo's arm. "I agree with General Karlos. We can use both poisons to turn the situation around. Also, I'm sure Weltaria doesn't have enough energy bullets to last for the next month."Unlike Soul Ess

    At Command Control, Elara frowned when she realized that the Narman Empire had deployed all its forces to defend the border. She asked the drone operator to record the situation inside Narman, but enemy snipers destroyed the drones before they could get further."Colonel, it looks like Emperor Arlo has lost his mind," Falkner said, eyes wide in shock. "You saw the nearest safe zone from the border earlier, right? There wasn't a single soldier guarding the civilians!"Elara massaged her temples as if the mistake had come from her own superior. Even though it was the enemy's fault, she still felt the headache coming. She knew Arlo's decision would affect innocent civilians."Commander, what would you like to do next? We can break through from the northeastern border. There are mountain gaps we can infiltrate," Elara said after analyzing the current condition through the drone footage.While studying the northeastern terrain, she continued, "If we send extreme terrain specialists there,

    Zeke pulled out the backup weapon from his waist and fired at the communication tower. The structure collapsed instantly, cutting off the coordination lines between several nearby posts.And before anyone could stop him, Zeke had already gone too deep into their defensive lines."Don't let him reach the command center!" Hernan shouted in panic. "If he destroys it, we'll lose communication with the central base. We worked so hard to get that new communication device!"But it was already too late. Zeke had spread fear, and the only way to stop him was with someone who matched his strength. The Narman soldiers were not strong enough to fight him. They already knew Zeke's reputation from the previous war, so they froze in fear before they could strike back.And even if there were units that could match him, he kept moving despite all the injuries on his body. Many believed he was taking some drug to protect himself, but there was no proof of that.General Hernan stepped back while orderin

    A blue projection displayed the firing paths over the water, and Elara quickly devised a strategy."We'll form a spearhead formation. Weltaria's heavy assault ships will move to the front line, fully supported by Soul Essence. Focus all fire on the narrow channel near the western harbor. At the same time, deploy the units with strong cultivators above to seize the land!"She paused for a moment before continuing."To counter Narman's submarines, send elite divers from Phantom Legion. They'll take care of them before those submarines have a chance to strike us."Elara's face was serious, but cold."We're not just trying to break through their defense. We want them to fear leaving their harbor. Once the coastline falls, we open a direct assault corridor to the capital. The world needs to see what happens to anyone who dares to touch Weltaria!"Everyone in Weltaria's fleets could hear Elara's voice, which boosted their morale. They had just destroyed all enemy naval bases on the border,

    Elara's patience snapped as soon as she heard the word family. Three years ago, she had willingly served as the representative of the West family on the battlefield because Scott had promised to ensure her parents' well-being. She had naively thought her grandfather would welcome her back with open arms after all the hardship she had endured in the military.Unfortunately, nothing had changed, even though the Wests were well aware of all she had been through. They never saw her as part of the family. If she were still vulnerable, she would have likely fallen for Scott and Olivia's sweet words."The family I want?" Elara asked sarcastically.Olivia nodded. "We can always start a new story. Why don't you just let go of your grudge? It's only going to weigh you down. You'll find peace by forgiving us.""Don't change the subject. Since you brought up family, let me tell you something."Elara stood up from her couch and looked around at everyone in Command Control. With a genuine smile, sh

    Hazel was moved when she heard Olivia's words and was reminded of her happy childhood. She would never deny that being born into a wealthy family was a blessing. But after growing up, she had to face the pressure of meeting Scott's expectations of her usefulness for the family business.However, Hazel was not academically smart enough to survive, so she had to curry favor with stronger people. At first, she felt sorry for Elara for being excluded, but defending her would have destroyed Hazel."Those were happy times," Hazel said, her eyes filled with tears. "I wish I could return to those days to breathe fresh air. My mom was still alive back then, and I was happier than ever."Roy pulled Hazel into his arms, not expecting her to bring up his late wife. All this time, Hazel had shut herself off when it came to her mother, distracting herself with playful behavior that made it hard for her to focus on her education."Oh, my dear, I'm sorry I haven't been a good father to you. If only I

    Olivia, whose name was called, flinched because she did not expect Elara to want to speak with her. All the members of the West family were crammed together in one prison cell, and because of that, Olivia could clearly feel all eyes turn to her."W-Why me? Grandpa should talk to Elara instead. I'm not the head of the family," Olivia stammered, clearly afraid to face Elara. She had lived for years thinking Elara was not any better than her.The fact that Elara was now someone important in Weltaria made Olivia feel as if the whole world had turned upside down. Her body tensed, and she instinctively hugged herself, as if wanting to disappear from sight. She could not accept the reality that Elara was better than her."I agree with Olivia," Scott spoke with a forced gentle tone. "There's no point in talking to an idiot like her. You should speak to me, your grandfather."Elara rolled her eyes in frustration. "Even in a situation like this, you still have the nerve to reject me. Do you sti
