Hunter and Eliot were tasked with accompanying Asher to the Riveria Restaurant. They did not say anything from the start of their meeting because Asher's piercing gaze kept them from opening their mouths.

Anyone who saw Asher's eyes would shudder in horror. He had been through tough things in the military. It was said that he did not blink when killing enemies because he was used to it.

'How could the boss ask someone like this to come here,' Eliot thought anxiously.

He already knew from Hunter that Max lied to get Asher to take care of this matter. If only the lieutenant knew that Elara had defeated the Lumithorn branch, he would have punished Max instead of the West family.

"So, the West family sent a group of assassins to attack your group?" Asher finally opened his mouth after a long silence.

Hunter tried not to show any suspicious gestures. "That's right. At first, the assassins attacked me and Eliot. But then they stormed into our base."

"If they could defeat the Lumithorn branc

    "Coughkk!" Scott vomited blood for the second time. His breathing was strained due to the pain in his spine."Father, don't give up," Roy held Scott's hand sadly.Hazel cursed, "We should have dumped that useless Elara in the first place! If we did, then we wouldn't have to go through this humiliation!"Asher walked over to the West, signaling Cole and Logan to leave."Is this going to be okay?" asked Cole fretfully. After all, he was the one who had to take responsibility for the problems that occurred during this event.He glanced at Logan. "You must be nervous. This is your restaurant.""Yeah, well..."What Logan was worried about was not the restaurant but Cassian's reaction. He knew very well that Cassian still had business with the West family.But he had no idea where Cassian and Elara had gone. They seemed to be in a distant room so as not to notice Asher's presence."Lieutenant, please let us go! We'll give you Elara instead," Emily pleaded, clasping her hands together.Hunte

    People would be surprised to see Asher on his knees in front of someone. He could destroy a wealthy family but lowered his pride before a woman."Shouldn't I be here?" Elara raised one eyebrow, getting up from the sofa."You're free to go anywhere," Asher replied, bowing his head and watching his sweat pour onto the floor. "I'm just surprised to see you here."Asher shuddered in horror. His years of military experience enabled him to discern a person's aura. Although he rarely met Elara, he could sense a dangerous aura of intimidation from her.In addition to being known as Cassian's assistant, Elara had another identity. She was part of the special armed forces, and people in the military called her colonel.If she held a weapon, all her enemies would indeed be defeated on the spot. No one could stop her except the special forces members and Cassian.Remembering Cassian made Asher even more nervous. Cautiously, he asked, "May I know if you came with the Great Commander?"When the war

    Being defeated by a woman alone was humiliating for Hunter and Eliot. They would never forget what Elara had done to them.Today was supposed to be Elara's funeral, but she was still arrogant and disrespectful to Asher.Not knowing about the Phantom Legion, Eliot fearlessly rebuked Elara, "Are you out of your mind? This man in front of you is the honorable Lieutenant Asher!""I heard you went to the battlefield representing the West family. It seems like you were just playing around there, so you couldn't recognize Lieutenant Asher," Hunter continued speaking, not noticing Asher staring at him with a murderous gaze."It's obvious that you and this guy are just lowly soldiers!" Eliot sneered again. This time, he kicked Cassian's leg. "Kneel respectfully to the Lieutenant!"The kick was powerful, but it had no effect on Cassian. The Twilight Family taught secret martial arts techniques to all its members.Unlike ordinary people, Eliot could crush a rock with his kick. He swallowed nervo

    "You must know what to do," Cassian smiled at Asher."Yes, sir! I will punish those who deserve it."Hunter and Elliot gasped as Asher pulled them to their feet. They thought it was time they were punished.But Asher gave them orders instead, "Take Liam and anyone close to him to the first floor! I want him unharmed because I'm going to finish him off myself!"His desire to kill was even stronger than when he dealt with the West."We'll do our best for you!"Although still shocked, Hunter and Elliot could move quickly. After cleaning their wounds as best they could, they went to the second floor, where the guests gathered.The guests reflexively stepped back as Asher's two subordinates approached them. The smell of blood was still present even though Hunter and Elliot had washed their wounds."Why are they here? I didn't hear anything from downstairs.""It looks like Lieutenant Asher hasn't executed them yet.""Are they still looking for West's family members? I heard these two are lo

    Isabella immediately lost her respect for Silas. "How could you just leave Miss Aveline like that? You said you loved her!" she scoffed.Silas growled. "Shut your mouth, you lowly woman! Do you think I would sacrifice my precious life for Aveline?""What a loser!""Don't go too far. I'm sure that boss of yours approached me on purpose to save his crazy brother from trouble."While the two were arguing, Asher glanced at Cassian for an opinion. Cassian nodded, signaling for Asher to let Silas go."Are you really not related to Aveline?" Asher asked.Thoughtfully, Silas nodded his head. "That's right. I'm just her college friend. We have no relationship whatsoever!""Alright. Since you're innocent, you can go!""Thank you very much, Lieutenant. I'll tell my family about your generosity!"Without a glance at Aveline, Silas ran out of the Riveria Restaurant with his bodyguards."How could he betray us?" Stella muttered in disbelief, remembering that it was Silas who had asked to see his da

    "Tell me who is involved with your plan!" Asher interrogated while continuing to torture Liam mercilessly. "Did another organization tell you to do this?"Sobbing, Liam replied hoarsely, "N-No one told me. My mom and I planned this to destroy Cassian. I didn't know the problem would be this big!""Don't lie! Tell me the truth.""I mean it. No one else is involved in this plan."Even though Liam had told the truth, Asher continued to torture him until he lost consciousness. He was afraid that someone else was involved.If he missed anything again, Cassian would not stay silent. Just imagining it gave him goosebumps."Please stop beating my son. We're guilty! He's telling the truth," Stella roared, looking at her son's blood-soaked body.Asher's brutal whipping tore Liam's clothes. The originally white shirt had now turned crimson red."Looks like you're telling the truth," Asher concluded from looking at Liam's condition.He could guess that Liam was a spoiled kid from a wealthy family

    "Mom, what exactly happened to Dad? He's in terrible shape," Elara asked while Cassian was still checking on her father.With tears in her eyes, Hannah explained, "Your father begged those thugs to let you go, but they beat him so badly. The doctor said the wound is strange and incurable.""Don't worry. Cassian can save Dad."Tears stopped rolling down Hannah's cheeks in shocked reaction to her daughter's words. "That can't be true. If the doctor couldn't fix the wound, how could Cassian?" she refused to believe."Cassian helped me from those thugs, so he should be able to handle this," Elara grasped her mother's hand, trying to reassure her.The nurse sneered, "So that you know, the doctors don't know what ails this patient. You should pay an expensive doctor to treat him."The government covers ordinary patients' treatment. Although paying a doctor would be very expensive, the nurse suggested it because no doctor would be willing to treat Samuel's wound for free.The wound had an un

    The person who panicked the most was obviously Hannah. Tears were streaming down her cheeks again. The thought of losing her husband was driving her crazy.She tried to pull out the acupuncture needles, but Elara held her back. "Let go of me! Don't you care about your father?" she snapped."It's a sign that Cassian's treatment is working. Just be patient, Mom. You'll be satisfied with the result," Elara responded calmly."How can you still trust him after witnessing your father's condition?"While Hannah was throwing a tantrum, the doctors were secretly grinning slyly. It was not just them who witnessed Cassian actions.The people in the ward could testify to what happened today. When the news of Samuel's death was announced, everyone would blame Cassian.They would forget Ivan, who failed to save Samuel during the golden time. The one who benefited from this incident was him.That's why he did not try to remove the acupuncture needles. He would leave them in place until Samuel breath

    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
