The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 8: Five Tiers of Families
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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 9: It's Just a Piece of Cake
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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 10: Business Partners Announcement
"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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 11: Gold Level
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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 12: The Most Despicable Thing
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
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 13: Family Disgrace
"That must be him! Runaway soldiers are more despicable than anything in this country," Liam responded furiously. Weltaria had a strong military compared to other countries. It was said that other countries feared Weltaria's military, so they tried to destroy the Great Commander during the war with the Narman Empire. They were worried about the Great Commander, who could control the entire military in just a short period. He was a living legend, not just in Weltaria but in other countries as well. Everyone despised soldiers who fled the battlefield for disrespecting the Great Commander. Society did not want to accept that kind of soldier. "I heard that soldiers who run away can't get jobs. They can ruin a company's reputation," Stella continued, increasingly convinced that Cassian's background ruined her daughter's business. Aveline's eyes turned red with anger. "I thought so, too. Even after the divorce, he's still a parasite to me!" Her hatred for Cassian grew. She had to expla
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 14
Before Elara could speak, her family attacked her with insults."You left home for three years and gained nothing for the West family. Instead, you embarrassed us by not coming to the Grand Ceremony!""I'm ashamed to claim you as part of the West family. Are you playing around on the battlefield?""You should be making connections in the military, not coming back empty-handed!"Olivia grinned as everyone in the family supported her. A sneaky idea popped into her head.She told Scott, "Grandpa, I heard Mr. Peter needs a fourth wife. Why don't we give Elara to him instead?""Hm, that's a good idea. She will be useful if she marries a rich man because it brings our family more business," Scott stroked his chin, considering Olivia's suggestion.Elara held back the anger that erupted within her. Even after three years, her family still treated her as if she was not human."Grandpa, I reject that suggestion!" she refused boldly.Scott glanced at Elara and realized a big, tall man was standi
The Ultimate Commander Cassian Chapter 15
"Grandpa, I apologize for making a scene," Olivia spoke up immediately to maintain a good image in front of Scott. She sobbed, "I'm just sad that Elara ignored her cousin in favor of power."Elara wanted to defend herself, but Scott looked at her angrily. Whatever came out of her mouth would not change the situation."You should be grateful to be recognized as part of the West family by Mr. Logan. But you want to control the family business all by yourself?" Scott gave Elara a sharp look."She even tried to flirt with my daughter's boyfriend! How shameless!" Emily fell for Olivia's lie and believed Elara was trying to seduce Nathaniel because he was from an influential family.The situation was already in Olivia's favor. There would be no one to defend Elara if Scott had spoken up.As long as the West family believed Olivia, Elara would be the scapegoat. Her parents would not even dare say anything."Let's just forget about this," Olivia wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "The imp

"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
Chapter 418
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
Chapter 417
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
Chapter 414
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
Chapter 413
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

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
