As soon as Cassian and Elara left, Franklin flung himself on the floor with a long exhale. Greta entered the room and approached him worriedly.

"Are you okay? You look pale!"

Franklin shook his head as Greta was about to help him. He smiled and replied, "I'm just too excited about my new mission! Greta, you should take a leave of absence or resign if you don't want to get into danger."

The last sentence sent chills down Greta's spine. This was not the first time Franklin had told her to take a leave of absence.

He always warned her whenever he was about to do something out of the ordinary or dangerous. And Greta, who had no intention of getting hurt, would agree to it.

"All right. I'll fake an accident and take some time off until you finish your business. Should I recommend someone else to be your secretary?"

Standing up from the floor, Franklin gave a shake. "No need. I have an acquaintance to help me," he said with a mysterious smile.

In the Phantom Legion, there was someone who ha

    "Yes, they are the ones who will heal our grandfather," Rosalie quickly answered her brother's question.Jeremy's eyes bulged in surprise as if they were about to jump out of place. He had met Cassian before at the car showroom."I know you're frustrated with Grandpa's condition, but that doesn't mean you can lose your mind!" he yelled hysterically.Elara examined Jeremy and recognized him as the boyfriend of her schoolmate. "Huh, weren't you the guy at the showroom that time? I didn't expect to see you here again!""Ugh, don't talk like we know each other!" Jeremy gave Elara an annoyed look, remembering how he was humiliated for failing the bet.Rosalie was the only one who did not know about the showroom incident. She was surprised to discover that her brother had met with Cassian and Elara.On the other hand, Jeremy was visiting Dalton to talk to Rosalie and report that Cassian humiliated him in the showroom.But his sister had already met with Cassian. And worst of all, Rosalie se

    "You all, stand guard around this guy!" Jeremy gave orders to his bodyguards.Rosalie did not forbid her brother because her doubts about Cassian came back. If Cassian was indeed a fraud and was trying to escape, the bodyguards could catch him quickly."I will check on my father's condition until Mr. Dalton wakes up. I won't run away," Elara patted Rosalie's shoulder before going to Samuel's room.The other people on the VIP floor were naturally interested in what was happening. Moreover, the bodyguards were surrounding Cassian as if he were a dangerous criminal."Lady Rosalie, may I know what is going on here?" Someone ventured to approach Rosalie, who had a grim face.There was no reply from Rosalie, making people think she was very arrogant. She intentionally ignored them because they would not be able to take revenge on her.Indeed, she was big-headed because of her status. But she did not respond to these people because they were just looking for gossip.If they had asked because

    "How long did you say I was in a coma...?" Dalton asked in disbelief."One month, sir. You suddenly lost consciousness and were rushed to Sunshine General Hospital. No one knows what made you sick."Dalton's memory was hazy, so he could not remember what had happened to him. The last thing he recalled was that his skin felt burning, and his heart rate was weak.He thought he had heart disease because his lifestyle in his youth was terrible. It was unexpected that he would be in a coma for a month, leaving his grandchildren struggling to manage the Greythorn companies.Rosalie walked up to Dalton and rubbed his shoulder. "It feels like a miracle to see you regain consciousness, Grandpa!""The doctors here must be excellent to heal me," Dalton praised in awe since he himself was confused by what had happened to him.His praise sounded like an insult to the doctors. They could only look down in shame, silently questioning their qualifications.Rosalie wiped away her tears and pointed at

    The doctors could only cursed inwardly as Jeremy insulted them. They would not have begged Cassian like this if it had not been for their future.The most upset of them all was Ivan. With this, Cassian officially humiliated him twice.He began to regret why he did not stop looking for trouble after Samuel's case. Unfortunately, his mind at the time told him it was impossible for Cassian to cure Dalton.Since Samuel's case was not too severe, Ivan thought Cassian was just lucky that he got a little knowledge from the military. It turned out that the man was not an opponent to be underestimated."As the best toxicologist in this hospital, I recognize that you have knowledge I do not," Ivan said solemnly.He raised his head to look directly into Cassian's eyes. "It would mean a lot to many people if you shared your valuable knowledge! Your actions inspire me to save more people."Of course, Ivan's last words were not sincere. Money was the reason why he was willing to treat others.Witho

    Cassian directly recalled his original intention of saving Dalton. It was to use Rosalie to interrupt Olivia.However, his intention had increased since he learned that Dalton's illness was unusual. He had to investigate who released the secret asset to the public."The effects of a Viperaider bite are dangerous. You would have died had I been late to save you," Cassian explained once again.Dalton gripped the blanket tightly. "That means the mastermind behind all this wants me dead! The Greythorn family has many enemies, so I'm having trouble figuring out who the culprit is.""I understand. You need time to heal since you've just recovered from the danger. I agreed to cooperate with Lady Rosalie.""That's good. Since I can't do anything, you can tell her everything you need to. I trust my granddaughter. She will not divulge this investigation."After his son's death, Dalton could trust no one but Rosalie. His other two grandsons were not as good at handling matters like this."Don't

    GT Group belonged to the Greythorn family and focused on real estate or commercial property development. However, it had also built several brands with official stores throughout Lumithorn City.Holders of gold cards issued by GT Group were free to buy anything at those official stores. The requirements for owning the card were complicated.One had to have a specific investment in GT Group and pay a large sum of money upfront. Not many could afford the card.Even Scott was able to get it for Olivia because of the good relationship between West Corp and GT Group. It was rare for the Greythorn family to offer a gold card for free. But Rosalie did it to show Dalton's status."My grandfather is a pillar of GT Group. You deserve to be rewarded for saving him," Rosalie said with a proud smile.She thought Cassian would be impressed with her gift. Unlike cash, the gold card was unlimited; he could even use it to buy a property."I didn't expect this, but thank you for your thoughtfulness," C

    As a parent, Samuel was pleased and proud that Elara became a manager. But his feelings changed after learning that his daughter was spending money on expensive things.He also felt guilty for not being able to give Elara a new car. If the sales of Tiny Treats were good this year, he would give her a big gift when she returned from the battlefield."How much is the monthly installment for the Paganigma? I'll help you pay it," Samuel continued with a smile.Elara could understand her father's feelings. Hence, she replied calmly, "You don't need to do that. The Paganigma has already been paid in full.""Didn't I hear wrong? All I know is that the Paganigma cost millions of dollars.""Cassian bought it in cash for me."Disbelief returned to Samuel's eyes. Even he, who came from a second-tier family, could not afford a Paganigma.How could Cassian buy such an expensive car for cash? Samuel wanted to continue interrogating Elara, but he remembered Cassian had saved him.Besides, Elara had

    People passing the parking lot were amazed to see Elara leaving her Paganigma. Compared to the other vehicles, her car stood out as the best. Its design and shiny exterior made it look better than the rest.Even Olivia's car looked ordinary next to the Paganigma. Seeing a luxury car in person was rare, so people deliberately stopped and gathered to enjoy it longer."Woah, isn't that a three-million-dollar Paganigma? I saw it on the internet!""I'm so jealous. Is the salary of the manager so big?""Well, it's bigger than our salary. But I'm sure it won't be enough to pay off the Paganigma."Negative speculations began to form in the workers' heads. From the moment Elara appeared, they already had negative thoughts about her.They were sure she was unqualified and was using her connections to become a manager. Instantly, they remembered that Elara had gotten a gold-level partnership with Bridge Point."Isn't it strange that she can suddenly buy Paganigma?" someone purposely asked in a l

    The naval officers of the Narman Empire did not have enough time to protect themselves with cultivation techniques. The Weltaria forces fired shot after shot without pause as if they were racing against a deadline."Everyone, fall back! I will set up a protective formation first," Yarik waved his hand toward the ship's corridor. "Those who can hold off the attacks, follow me!"A few officers who had reached high cultivation stages followed Yarik, floating upwards onto the ship. They skillfully avoided each shot, thanks to their abilities, while also retaliating with attacks of their own."The sailors guarding here are stronger than the ones at the previous base," Waylon said while forming a protective formation to deflect the fire attacks from Yarik. "They have good cultivation techniques. It may take us some time to defeat all of them.""Can you hold off the stronger enemies for now? We will eliminate the weaker ones before targeting the strong ones," Stefan asked, continuing to shoo

    Arlo suppressed the energy he had gathered in his hand, preparing to strike Saul's neck. He had employed various methods of torture to extract information from the prisoner, and he knew Saul was not lying. The despair and sorrow in Saul's eyes were proof enough that his comrades at the naval base had perished. It must have been agonizing for him to witness such a horrifying event."I need more details," Arlo demanded, waving his hand at the guards holding Neron. "Lieutenant General, do you know anything about this?""I was in the parking lot when Officer Saul approached me and informed me that one of our naval bases was attacked by Weltaria. That's why we tried to reach you. Please forgive us if our manner was improper," Neron explained respectfully, despite Arlo having humiliated him not long ago.The guards lowered their heads, their bodies tensing as Arlo's aura surged wildly. The ground around the Narman Tower trembled. In an instant, the guards' bodies jolted violently. Blood pou

    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
