Isabella felt bad for what Aveline was going through. But she did not want to get involved in the issue between her boss and Stella.

Aveline's hand trembled as she touched her reddened cheek. She did not expect Stella to slap her so hard.

The most surprising thing was that her mother showed no expression of regret. Instead, Stella continued to talk about Liam.

"You know that Liam is used to getting the best care. Imagine if he stayed in a regular ward. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!"

It was true that Liam had never joined other patients when he was hospitalized. He must have had a hard time adapting to this situation.

But Aveline could not spoil her brother anymore after what happened today. Pushing her mother, she shouted, "Did you forget that we got into trouble because of that kid?!"

"Watch your language. This is all because of Cassian and that lowly woman. They must have incited Lieutenant Asher to persecute my son," Stella was still defending Liam even though her son

    Cassian and Elara looked happy as they cracked jokes at each other. Their laughter reached Aveline's ears, making her feel like her pain was being made fun of.Today, she lost everything. Her hard times were just starting, but Cassian appeared to be enjoying life.An unexpected thought popped into her head. Before Cassian returned from the battlefield, her life was so perfect that she thought it would last forever.But since Cassian's return, one misfortune after another befell her. She did not know who to blame other than Liam, so she also cursed her ex-husband."Aren't you Miss Everhart? Glad to see you're okay," Elara deliberately stopped in the parking lot to greet Aveline.Isabella could not sense Elara's empathy, so she started to feel mad. "Get out of our sight! You're the bully here," she yelled."Geez, that's rude. I was just expressing my relief that you guys are okay. Lieutenant Asher is a cruel man, so I was worried you wouldn't come back alive."The grin on Elara's face p

    "Lady Rosalie, I am sorry about Mr. Dalton's condition. Please give us another chance," the elderly doctor named Hendrix pleaded as he clasped his hands together.He was the Head of the Medical Department. Rosalie came from the city's famous Greythorn family.The Greythorn controlled almost all the shopping centers in Lumithorn. About a month ago, Rosalie brought an unconscious Dalton to the hospital with her family.They thought Dalton fainted due to a drop in blood pressure. It happened to him so often that they were not worried.However, the doctors found something strange. Despite their best efforts, Dalton could not regain consciousness.One month had passed, and Sunshine General Hospital still had not found the cause of Dalton's illness."I've given you plenty of chances so far," Rosalie said, her mad expression unchanged. "If you don't make any progress today, I'm pulling out all my investments!"The money Greythorn gave was a lot. Hendrix immediately knelt to Rosalie due to he

    Always a logical thinker, Samuel was skeptical that a common soldier could heal him. He would only believe if Cassian had a certificate of qualification.The doctors had argued about Cassian's lack of a qualification, which made Samuel believe that he was just using the momentum to his advantage."How can you be so sneaky? You're claiming success that isn't yours," Samuel sneered.Cassian replied confidently, "I did that success. Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you. The important thing now is that you're cured.""Still, that's not the main point. You've already acknowledged someone else's work!""I have never done so."Rosalie's trust in Cassian dropped. What Samuel said made sense. The nurse could have misunderstood because the situation was complicated.Moreover, Cassian denied Samuel's words without providing any evidence. If he really had special abilities, he should have shown the certificate.With his medical knowledge, he could become rich overnight. But he refus

    "You have to pay taxes to us," a thug said with a scaring expression.Despite his fear, Morgan still had the courage to fight the thugs. "We already pay taxes to the state. No need to pay to a bunch of thugs like you!""If you don't want to pay, we have no choice but to destroy this place.""The police can help us deal with this problem. After all, you're at fault here for illegal taxation and harassing the residents."The thugs burst into laughter."We are from the Twilight. Do you still dare to fight us, huh?!"The faces of the investors changed in an instant. Who did not know about the Twilight Family in this city?As people involved in the business world, they often crossed paths with underworld organizations.The Twilight's position was higher than theirs. If they insisted on fighting back, they were the ones who would suffer."Are you even aware of your current position? You should have bowed to us long ago!"Derek immediately knelt, "Please forgive our ignorance. We'll stop thi

    "Do you really have connections with the Twilight Family?" Erica asked, trusting Cassian a little since he had saved her.Cassian took out his cell phone. "I know someone. Let me contact him to help me solve this problem."The skeptical people began to believe him. If he had lied just to boast about himself, he would not have gone this far because it endangered his life.The thugs were still wincing in pain from the damage done by Cassian's kick. However, they mobilized their remaining energy to talk about the Twilight."Does that guy know someone?""If so, we're doomed! Our lies will be exposed.""But he could just be lying. Maybe he hired an actor to help him act!"A thug denied that. "How could he be lying! Didn't you guys feel how intense his attacks were? He's definitely not an ordinary person."Fear crept over the thugs. To learn special martial arts techniques, they needed to reach a certain level.People who could learn such martial arts were recruited by influential people to

    Max examined the thugs, who were trying to avoid his gaze. As the person responsible for recruiting members, he remembered the faces of all his people.Those thugs who claimed to be part of the Twilight had committed a huge lie. This caused Max's blood to boil.Asher's words flashed through his mind. The lieutenant had warned him to settle Cassian's matter properly."I don't know a single one of them! Who are they to claim to be part of my family?"The statement infuriated the investors. They could not attack the thugs because they were afraid of Twilight, but it turned out that the thugs were lying to them."God, they're really crazy," Erica looked the angriest, remembering a thug trying to punch her. "They're using the Twilight name for their own gain."Max swallowed nervously. "W-What have they done?"In truth, he did not care what the thugs did to others. He was only worried about them attacking Cassian in the name of his organization."They're taxing us for this project even thou

    Rosalie's gaze was no longer on Cassian as the roar of a car engine greeted her ears. When she looked over, she saw a blue Paganigma car driving towards the project site.As someone who loved collecting cars, she could immediately tell the type of car and its price. She was astonished to see a luxury car here."Who is driving that car? Is there a rich person I don't know about?" she muttered, remembering the news that someone bought Paganigma cash a few days ago.She always ordered the latest cars through the showroom dealer and was curious about who bought the Paganigma. However, the showroom could not reveal the client's identity to maintain privacy."I finally got to see the owner of the car. Are they from the Avian family?"The blue Paganigma stopped before the investors, whose eyes were filled with admiration. They imagined themselves driving the expensive car."Oh my, look at this Paganigma! I really like the design.""So do I. But why does the Paganigma stop here?"While the in

    After the survey of the new company building site was finished, Elara talked with the investors about how to start their partnership. She frowned as she read Morgan's proposal again."You want a 10% stake in Tiny Treats for this partnership, right?"Morgan nodded. He believed Elara could not refuse his request since he had already made a large investment."Tiny Treats is just a small company now. It's fine to give me 10% of the shares. It may take decades for the stock price of your father's company to rise," he explained cunningly."I'm sorry, but Tiny Treats cannot agree to this request," Elara refused, returning the proposal document to Morgan. "Indeed, the company is still growing, but I trust Tiny Treats to deliver the best results in a year.""Are you out of your mind? It's impossible for Tiny Treats to rise! You seem to have forgotten that your father's company was once scandalized.""But it was an untrue scandal. I will clean up Tiny Treats' reputation as soon as possible."Mo

    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
