Cassian lowered his head, gently touching the flower. Its petals glowed even brighter as the sky darkened, the sun setting behind the ocean. Of course, he had heard of Virella Noctis since it became the symbol of the Narman Empire.This flower only grew in Narman's territory, so the people guarded it closely. Even Arlo did not give Virella Noctis to Ronin when he surrendered during the peace treaty, indirectly showing his distrust. However, Ronin ignored that detail because he wanted to eliminate Cassian's military influence quickly."Thank you very much for your trust. I don't feel worthy to receive this since I've committed crimes against Narman's civilians. But I'll accept it because I respect your sincerity," Cassian said, raising his head to look up at the cliff.Jimena replied in a whisper, "There are some who can't accept Arlo's death. But many are glad because we feel we've regained our right to live. Don't worry about the future of my country. If anyone dares to rebel, I will
Chapter 458
The soldiers stomped their feet on the ground before saluting Cassian in unison. This was not the end of their struggle because they knew Arlo's allies still threatened Weltaria. That was why Cassian's orders felt heavy, especially now that they understood this peace would not last long.Cassian noticed the uneasiness in the soldiers' eyes, even though they tried their best to hide it. He smiled while raising his hand to dismiss the formation."Don't worry. I won't make you suffer any more than this," he said in a mysterious tone that made everyone frown in curiosity.The only way to avoid a war threat from Arlo's allies was by requesting to join the Legacy of Warriors. Cassian believed his enemies would rather choose a private duel than a full war, which would cost a lot of time and resources. If the Red Fangs truly believed that war was the answer, they would have helped Narman defeat Weltaria from the start.The fact that Red Fangs did not get involved in the war showed they prefer

The soldiers who had once been in the President's Faction nodded at Waylon's statement, showing that they shared his thoughts. They believed their situation would be better with only one person leading both the military and the country.Secretly, they worried about the possibility of a civil war because Cassian and Ronin seemed to be at odds. They felt safer if just one of them held absolute power. When they found out Cassian had left the military, they thought Ronin was more worthy of being the sole leader because he had not left like that."I used to support you and was disappointed when you left the military. I should have realized that your departure would create internal conflict. But I was too angry to think clearly," Norman admitted his mistake without hesitation.He continued with an embarrassed cough, "I also underestimated you. There was a rumor that you were disabled and weak, but today you proved that wrong. Everyone who watched your fight must be thinking the same!""I do

Cassian walked toward the soldiers with his arms wide open, but none dared to embrace him. Even Zeke, who was usually enthusiastic, kept his distance. They quickly formed a circle, linking their arms around each other's shoulders."Commander, we're so grateful you didn't let the conflict between Weltaria and Narman continue. We can return home in peace because of your sacrifice!" one of the soldiers called out sincerely.Franklin stepped into the circle, carrying his complete set of medical equipment. The open wounds on Cassian's body made him wince in pain, but more than anything, he was relieved that Cassian had survived."If I were you, I would've died on the spot," he said, shaking his head.Cassian patted Franklin's shoulder before pulling him into a hug. "What kind of greeting is that? I'm glad to see you alive! I thought you'd die after your disguise was discovered," he replied in a light and joking tone."Well, Franklin did his job perfectly. I think he's better as a spy than

The impact of the battle finally caught up with Cassian. A painful pressure in his chest forced him to cough up blood. His injuries throbbed with pain, but he could still endure them thanks to his proper breathing technique.Staggering, he raised his body to stand and walked away from the border. The surroundings were completely devastated. After Arlo rampaged with his earth-element powers, there was no longer any land that could be called intact. The ground had split apart, creating giant craters and long cracks stretching as far as the eye could see.The ocean had now become murky and wild. Its waters were filled with mud, soil fragments, and stone dust that continued to flow from the ruined land."Ugh, repairing this area is going to cost a lot of money. I should claim my inheritance soon to pay for the damages," Cassian said with a cheeky smile, even though his lips were injured.The traces of Cassian's wind techniques had left destruction just as brutal. Once green forests now la

"That's information I already knew. Can't you reveal anyone else involved besides yourself?" Cassian asked, panting, feeling his strength gradually fading. He had used a lot of energy to attack and dodge.Veil of Shadows was effective in making Arlo speak since no human could withstand the illusion effect. But Cassian knew the formation's effect would wear off soon.Arlo shook his head hard. "I want to tell you everything, but I can't because the leader of the Red Fangs did something to keep me quiet. I don't know if it's some kind of spell or not. What I do know is that my tongue freezes every time I try to say it!"Already exhausted, Cassian could not hold back his emotions anymore and kicked Arlo repeatedly. "That means you could not tell me anything from the start. Useless! I had a feeling you'd be no help to me the moment I saw you were a loser," he cursed."No, please forgive me!" Arlo screamed while crawling in fear. In his eyes, Cassian had grown several times larger, and his
