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?

    The atmosphere grew tense as Cassian said nothing, leaving Ace and the guards waiting in suspense. It was only for a moment, but they felt as if they had been trapped for a long time.Cassian threw the access card at Ace, saying, "Let's check if this is real!"The guards gulped nervously as his words reminded them of their impolite behavior. If it were ten minutes ago, they would not have believed that the access card was real.But after seeing Ace on his knees, it was evident that Cassian was no ordinary person. Ace took the thrown access card without offense. He walked up to the gate and swiped the card.A moment later, the gate opened. It can only be closed and opened with the access card. Victory Hill was a community of influential rich people, so there was no way anyone could forge access to it.The guards' jaws dropped in tremor. It took them some time to respond to this shocking incident."Lord, you can enter the villa," Ace bowed as he returned the access card to Cassian.Seei

    The next day, Cassian was going to court alone at the appointed time. Elara was not with him because he did not want to involve her in his personal affairs. Aveline was already there with Isabella. She waited impatiently for Cassian to arrive. "He will come, right? I'm afraid he ran away because he doesn't want to divorce me," she bit her thumb nervously. The thought of Cassian running away and not signing the divorce documents made Isabella anxious, too. If the divorce were not confirmed soon, Cassian would still be Aveline's husband. Divorce requires the consent of both parties because the court will not approve if there is a lack of evidence. "You and that useless man should get a divorce as soon as possible!" Isabella stated. "If he doesn't come here, I will find a way to get you two divorced." Aveline frowned. "How? Cassian didn't see me for three years, but the court could have excused it because he went to the army during that time." "That's easy. You can say he cheated

    "I won't," Cassian replied, still with the same calmness. "Don't be stubborn while I'm still being nice. I'll beat you to death if you don't hand over the house!" Cassian laughed. "Did you just threaten to beat a soldier?" Liam's face turned red at the taunt. He knew that Cassian went to the battlefield for three years. But he could not accept being humiliated like this. Driven by anger, he clenched his fist and targeted Cassian's face for a punch. Before that could happen, Elara arrived quickly and delivered a powerful kick to his stomach. Liam crashed into the table, causing it to split into two. A cry of agony escaped from his lips as he experienced intense pain in his abdomen and spine. "W-Who are you?!" Stella panicked, seeing her son being kicked so effortlessly by a woman. She pointed a fruit knife at Elara. "I'll call the police! Get out of here!" The fruit knife was certainly no threat to Elara. She had already dealt with various weapons. The police woul

    Elara ignored the young man's hand. "No, you can't," she replied with a straight face.The young man thought Elara was just playing hard to get, so he persisted in his efforts to charm her. He glanced at Cassian, who he saw coming with Elara. It irritated him that an ordinary guy could approach her."I saw you coming with this shabby man. That hurts my heart! A poor loser doesn't deserve to be with a woman like you. I can treat you better than him. You're better off by my side."Elara smirked. "And what makes you think you're worthy of me? You're annoying me. Get out of my face!"The young man was furious after Elara insulted him in front of everyone. The warmth vanished from his expression in an instant. His face turned red as people in the lobby looked at him with pity.His brother, accompanying him, was also furious. He told Elara, "It's like you've become ignorant by hanging out with losers. I'm Owen, and this is Caleb, my brother. We come from the Silverstone family!"Silverstone

    Caleb and Owen rejected the idea that Cassian was the one who caused the Silverstone family business to collapse. But they had not offended anyone today except Cassian and Elara."S-Sir, can you explain what's going on?" Owen nervously asked Logan.Unfortunately, Logan had no intention of explaining anything. He returned his attention to Cassian. "You came to discuss something, right? Let me take you to my office!"Cassian and Elara followed Logan without a word, leaving everyone still in shock. They felt like they were in a dream because what had just happened made no sense.In just an instant, Silverstone's business could be destroyed. Who exactly was that shabby man?Some people breathed a sigh of relief as they were about to disturb Cassian but did not because Owen and Caleb made their move first.Owen recalled his father's words. Whether he liked it or not, he needed to chase Cassian for the sake of the family business."Please listen to me! I am guilty of offending you. But this

    "Don't you know that the parking lot for servants is different?" Olivia continued. She pointed at Elara's old car. "Get that crappy car out of here! It's an eyesore, you know!"The people who happened to be in the parking lot agreed. Only luxury vehicles should be allowed to park."But I'm not a servant. I'm also a guest here," Elara replied casually.Laughter came out of Olivia's mouth. "How did you get an invitation to this party? You weren't even invited to the Grand Ceremony!""I told you I had important business, so I couldn't attend.""Then show me the Grand Ceremony invitation!"Elara left the invitation card in her apartment because she did not expect to run into Olivia this way. Besides, she had no reason to carry the invitation card around."I'll show you later," she was still calm."Let's see how far you can lie!" Olivia narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "I'll report you to the party organizer later. You better leave now before you get humiliated!"Nathaniel said nothing as O

    Elara did not want to lose the momentum to insult Aveline, so she did that as soon as the announcement was over."Didn't you say you were going to get bronze level? If I were you, I'd die because of embarrassment!"Her words annoyed Aveline and Isabella. Aveline did not want to be humiliated in front of Cassian, so she made a defense."The next announcement hasn't come out of Mr. CEO's mouth yet," she was calm as she thought of Logan's kindness to her. "I will become a silver-level business partner. Just wait and see."Elara laughed at that because she knew Cassian had removed Aveline's company from the list. Her laughter drew the attention of Olivia, sitting not far from her."Why do you dare to attend this party?" Olivia approached Elara with Nathaniel. The arrogance was still clearly shown on her face.If Logan had not been on stage, she would have called the guards to drag her cousin out. But she held back because she did not want to make a mess while the CEO gave a speech.Avelin

    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

    "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

    Stefan's actions triggered several other soldiers to do the same—remove all the symbols that marked their positions in the military. While it looked like the same action, they had different reasons for doing so. Not everyone feared the Military Prison.People like Stefan simply wanted to fight because it was their duty to protect the country. Not many soldiers thought this way, as most of them chose to fight to avoid punishment.Cassian raised an eyebrow when he realized that some soldiers were still unwilling to surrender to him. It caught his attention because they were faces he did not recognize."I appreciate differing opinions. Therefore, I will not force anyone to go to the battlefield. Anyone who prefers punishment can line up over there," he instructed, pointing to the left.The soldiers who refused to fight quickly formed their line. Major Vienna stood at the front, pride still etched on her face."I'm sorry, I don't recognize all of you." Cassian walked toward the line on th

    Cassian walked with his hands resting behind his back while Elara and Zeke fell into line with the other soldiers. Rasmus did not join the formation since he was not part of Weltaria's military. He stood at the very back, alone, in a rigid posture.The soldiers, who had initially been standing in disarray, automatically corrected their formation. Cassian gazed at any soldiers who had been out of line for a long time, urging them to follow the rules. Though they did not want to obey, their muscle memory forced them to comply with their commander's commanding gaze."A fine day, isn't it, comrades?" Cassian greeted, lifting his head to look at the clear sky. "This weather is perfect for the Narman Empire to strike. They would suffer great losses if they attacked during winter and rain."He looked back at the soldiers, still wearing his usual calm smile. "I heard that you've become weak lately. Why don't you head to the border and hold off the enemy forces?"The silence was thick, and no

    All the soldiers at the General Headquarters were sitting quietly in the shared lounge when they received the news that the Narman forces had breached the northern border near the cities of Valen and Hawke. The military base in Weltaria had fallen, allowing the enemy to enter easily. Virgil had deployed the soldiers from the branch headquarters, but everyone knew that it would not hold for long."What are we going to do? If we keep staying still, the enemy will eventually attack us," Major Vienna said, hugging her trembling body.A lieutenant general named Agnes snorted. "You got promoted because of your connection to the President. No wonder you're scared. If it were me, I'd face the enemy with my strength," she responded sarcastically."How dare you insult me! You wouldn't dare say that in front of the President, would you? You coward!" Vienna retorted."That's true," Major General Sylvia responded, rolling her eyes. "But we're all tired of this new system. How can someone get promo

    Ronin's departure left a sorrowful silence for a while. Those in the President's faction did not understand why they should feel sad when Ronin had betrayed them. They thought they would be indifferent after their former leader left, but instead, they felt an indescribable emotion.However, there was no time for mourning. Cassian clapped his hands a few times to regain everyone's attention."I do have a personal vendetta against Ronin, but he has also committed crimes that deserve punishment. This means I will drag everyone involved with him to trial," he declared.Everyone in the President's faction stood tense, unhappy with the topic but knowing it was coming. Cassian must be saying this because he had irrefutable evidence."But instead of conventional punishment, I want to give you a noble chance to redeem yourselves," Cassian said with a smile.Rather than feeling relieved, the President's supporters grew anxious because they knew Cassian would not let them off easily."I'd rather

  • Chapter 411

    The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise from the participants about the Soul Essence. Since cultivators existed, all the military forces in the world had to develop weapons that could match their power. This was the beginning of the creation of energy weapons, as not everyone could cultivate.For instance, Weltaria had more soldiers who could not cultivate than those who could. To balance the gap, the country had no choice but to invest heavily in purchasing energy-based ammunition that could only be used on special weapons.The price was beyond question. It was undoubtedly expensive, and Weltaria lacked the funds to purchase enough energy weaponry. This is why Ronin called upon wealthy, influential families, including the Hawthornes, as he needed their help."Can your words be trusted? I've never heard of energy bullets that can destroy cores. If it only weakens them, that's still reasonable," Ronin voiced his skepticism, hoping that Cassian was exaggerating.Cassian placed his
