Aveline tried to contact Logan even though he had ignored her all night. She was ready to be disappointed again, but Logan unexpectedly picked up her call.

"Sir, you finally responded to me! I've been expecting your reply since last night," she said with happiness mixed with sadness.

Since Logan was responding, she thought he was just busy and did not have time to check his cell phone. Their closeness over the years made her think she could work with Bridge Point again.

She grinned as she thought, 'There's no way Mr. Logan would ignore me!'

"Stop contacting me from now on," Logan said coldly, surprising Aveline and Isabella. "I'm replying to tell you this. We have no more business."

Before Logan turned off the call, Aveline hurriedly asked, "What have I done wrong? I did well during our cooperation, and you know that."

"Your only mistake was offending someone you shouldn't have offended!"

"What do you mean?"

"You've offended a big person. Your business could be ruined at any time. Tha

    Behind the man named Max, a group of people was playing monopoly with great excitement. People surrounded the monopoly players and cheered when one player lost all his money after stepping on a property.The monopoly was being played with real money, so naturally, people were more enthusiastic. They were the Twilight Family spending their free time waiting for a mission.Finley, the bald guy, brought Liam into the base and caught everyone's attention. Strangers never entered here unless they wanted to die."Who is that?" Hunter, the broke player, frowned at Liam's arrival.The others were also confused. Being part of Twilight for so many years made them meet many people.And they could smell the fear from Liam. His body even trembled as the Twilight members watched him."He said he wanted to see you, Boss," Finley spoke to Max, who was still sharpening his dagger. "He seemed to know you, so I brought him here."Max stopped what he was doing. As he looked up, he also lifted his dagger,

    Hunter blinked in surprise, finding himself thrown onto the road. His face was bleeding from rubbing against the asphalt. He stood up and wiped the blood off his face with his hands."Turns out you've got some skills," he mocked, trying not to collapse onto the street.His legs were trembling, so he could lose his balance at any moment. The effect of Elara's kick was so strong, but he was too embarrassed to admit it.Elliot thought Elara's attack was average because Hunter was still standing. Therefore, he did not hesitate to lunge at her."I'll make you regret fighting us!"Smoothly, Elara stepped to the side to avoid Elliot's quick punch. She only had to tilt her head to prevent his next punches."Are we done?" Elara laughed mockingly as Elliot gasped for breath.Her smile fueled Elliot's fire. He forgot about the fatigue crashing through his body and went back to throwing some quick punches.People often praised him because he had faster punches. Most of his opponents could not dod

    As a second-tier family, the West had a great deal of influence in society. Thus, Liam thought Cassian could escape the Twilight, thanks to Elara's help.Had Elara not been involved, Cassian would have died today. Liam thought with annoyance. But he was more irritated that Elara approached Cassian, an ordinary soldier.Cassian did not even have a good reputation. Only a high-ranking soldier could rival a wealthy family. He was definitely not one of them."How could a classy woman like you get along with this loser?" Liam looked at Elara's appearance, realizing she had a pretty face and a nice body.He turned to Cassian and clenched his fists. Compared to Cassian, he was much better off because he came from a rich family."What lies have you told Lady West?" Liam scoffed, remembering Aveline's story about Cassian pretending to be blind.Elara immediately rushed to Cassian's defense. "He didn't lie to me about anything," she replied firmly."Gosh, you just don't realize he is fooling yo

    Aveline felt a sour lump in her throat when Cassian did not react as she thought he would. He was neither annoyed nor sad, even though his ex-wife was about to get close to a new man."We will leave," Stella snorted. "You're arrogant just because you own this old house. As you know, Silas has a lot of property in this city. You're no match for him!"Liam added, "He has a successful business. To buy an old house like this, he wouldn't think twice."The conversation about Silas made Elara frown in confusion. For now, Aveline was not officially close to Silas.But her mother and brother acted like they already had a relationship with Silas. This made Elara giggle."Are you guys that close to Silas to bring him up in conversation?" she asked curiously.Stella and Liam could not answer. The Emberlight family had influence, so they did not dare to lie.Some time ago, Stella got a message from Silas asking about Aveline. She used this moment to match her daughter with a rich man and arranged

    A group of ten was sent to the West family villa. Since it was a Sunday, the West family members gathered to discuss business and other matters.Scott always held regular meetings to maintain his family ties. In addition, he wanted to emphasize that he was the leader and everyone should follow his orders."Where's Elara?" His forehead furrowed when he could not find Elara anywhere.Samuel and Hannah struggled to answer the question. Yesterday, they were very happy that Elara was the new cooperative manager.All the partnerships were organized by her. That would benefit Tiny Treats, so Samuel forgot about Cassian momentarily because he was too pleased."Did she go out with that guy again?" Samuel asked Hannah, his voice holding back anger.Hannah nodded. "Elara sent me a message. She said she had some business with that guy.""Gosh, that girl's getting arrogant just because she's the new manager," Emily scoffed. "Just imagine what would happen if she got a higher position!"The others

    At Cassian's house, Elara was helping him clean up the furniture that Stella and Liam had messed up. She did not want to attend the family meeting because she remembered how her family had insulted Cassian.But she picked up her mother's call because she had a bad feeling. "Mom, what's wrong? I told you I can't come because I have important business to attend to.""M-My dear, can you come to the villa now? The Twilight Family is looking for you. They threaten to kill our family if you don't come," Hannah explained the situation with a stammer.Elara had suspected that the Twilight Family would not stay silent since she had attacked two of their members. "I'll be at the villa soon," she told her mother."You'd better come as soon as possible!" Behind Hannah, Olivia shouted in exasperation. "You've put your family in danger because of your stupid actions. Have you gone crazy?""If you invite me to argue, I can serve you until the end. But in return, I will come late."Because Elara's pr

    Even though Elara had made a big problem, her parents still cared about her. Unlike Scott, they could not let the Twilight Family take her."Dad, how can you be so cruel to your own granddaughter?" Samuel, for the first time, could criticize Scott's decision. "When Olivia got into bullying cases in high school, you defended her and threatened the bully's victim!"Hannah, swayed by her husband's courage, added, "You always help West family members because you're the leader. Aren't you going to help Elara?""How dare you question Dad's decision!" Roy snapped at his youngest sibling.Not accepting being called, Olivia quickly defended herself, "In high school, I only bullied kids from poor families. What Elara did was different. She offended a big organization!"Seeing the West family arguing, Rhett could not help but laugh. "This family is hilarious. Because the leader is incompetent, the children and grandchildren are fighting," he mocked Scott."So, what's your decision? We don't have

    Almost all Twilight members were street thugs recruited by the bosses in their respective areas. Their street-fighting skills were undoubted.For the first time since joining the organization, they were overwhelmed by a woman. Elara changed the situation in an instant with just an iron rod.It was just an ordinary iron rod. But in Elara's hands, it magically became a weapon of mass slaying."Where was your enthusiasm earlier? Didn't you want to torture me mercilessly?"Elara giggled as she swung the iron rod at anyone who lunged at her. As if she could predict her opponents' movements, she could hit them with pinpoint accuracy.It made no difference whether they came from the side, bottom, or top. With her skillful body movements and iron rod use, Elara excelled in battle."Ugh, who exactly is this crazy woman?" Dominic wiped the blood from his mouth. Due to the rod's blow to his stomach, he was thrown and spewed blood.His other comrade replied breathlessly."I never heard of the Wes

    The generals glared at Neron, annoyed that he had ruined the good mood. The live feed displayed that the situation at the Narman border remained calm, while in Weltaria, the Imperial forces had successfully breached the defenses. Neron's words, based solely on his personal assumptions, would not be accepted by Arlo."I apologize for my rudeness, Your Majesty," Neron lowered his head, too afraid to meet Arlo's sharp gaze. "I was just worried because our troops haven't reported anything. Upon further thought, it was just my own concern without any factual basis."Arlo stood up from his chair and walked toward Neron, who sat far from him. The generals held their breath as he passed by them. His domineering aura was suffocating, making it hard for them to breathe."I invited you here for lunch because you're smart for your age, but my judgment was wrong. You're just a foolish young man who doesn't know how to behave," Arlo said, gripping Neron's shoulder so hard that the sound of breaking

    A minister in a fine suit fell to the ground as another shot struck near his feet, causing him to piss himself from fear. Panic spread among more of them, and in an instant, more bullets hit the ground they stood on.Without ever having undergone mandatory military service, the officials became easy targets for the Narman soldiers. The bullets continued to fly, accompanied by the loud cheers of the soldiers, who enjoyed the sight with broad smiles."How could Weltaria trust these cowards? Look at them run like ants being stepped on!" a soldier shouted.Fern gritted her teeth in frustration as she watched the officials flee instead of fighting. She forgot her anger towards Allen and started shooting back at the Narman soldiers. "Take this, you jerks! My gun is worth more than yours!""This is the privilege of being rich!" Ira added, shooting at the enemy while laughing loudly.Their firearms, Lockshot, were purchased from an auction in the Argo Republic. Only a few were produced, and t

    "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
