Wayne had been building military bases in areas surrounding Arlandia. It was obvious what he was up to.

Ethan would never talk about classified information like this with Olivia in the past. But things had changed.

He was willing to talk to her as an equal on these matters at that point. “There are five superpowers in the world right now. Other than Arlandia, there's Wayne's Carathia and Veutron, where the princess you saved hailed from.

"Two other countries have claimed to remain neutral, but they have been making moves in secret.

"Where there are people, there is conflict. Countries certainly are the same.”

“In terms of military might, Zelotria and Hucreyle are the strongest. Are they the ones?"

“That's right. There's someone you know in Zelotria. Do you remember Avery Fordham?

"The Fordham family is the most influential family in Zelotria. They are a force to be reckoned with, be it financially or politically.”

The mention of Avery sent Olivia down memory lane. It felt like her last meeting with Avery was decades ago.

“I wonder if he got a new kidney."

“I heard that he got a transplant three years ago. Although there hasn't been much news about him recently, he should still be alive."

"That's good. Is Zelotria linked to Grandpa's assassination?"

“No. The current leads I have are linked to Hucreyle. But I only have leads, no proof.”

"Hucreyle? The Kingstons are colluding with them?"

Ethan nodded. There wasn't anyone else in the room, so he wasn't afraid that the information might get leaked.

“Do you know why Mr. Heath has been unwilling to associate with Yale and the Kingston family? Yale is just a pawn of the Heath family.

"The illegal cruise ships weren't the only things that they were doing in secret. Although everyone has skeletons in their closets, the Kingstons are really the worst.

“If they were to join with the Heaths in marriage, even the Heaths would be affected when the situation goes south.”

“Then, why are the Kingstons still allowed to exist?"

“You destroy them, and more will come to take their place. Besides, Mr. Kingston Senior used to be Mr. Heath's superior.

"They might have some dealings in secret, 100."

Olivia was a little overwhelmed with the information. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Does that mean Yale could never marry Molly?"

“That should be the case. But... a miracle could always happen. The Kingston family won't be able to change that fact, but Yale might be able to."

Ethan raised his head to look at Olivia.

“Yale might be living in the Heath Residence, but him marrying Molly would be harder than the two of us getting married again.”

Olivia rubbed her nose guiltily. "Why would you bring that up so suddenly?"

Ethan understood that she didn't want to talk about a remarriage, so he changed the subject.

“Liv, is it okay if we get going the day after? I've already finished making arrangements for the tasks I have on hand."

Olivia raised an eyebrow. "You used to be the busiest during the time before the new year. And now you're saying we can leave in a couple of days?"

“I've handed off some of my responsibilities to Yale and Linus."

Ethan winked at her. "It's thanks to you. Yale still needs your help to nurse Molly back to health.

"So, we've temporarily set aside our differences. He's also willing to listen to my demands."

"Well, aren't you acting smug about it?"

Ethan stopped what he was doing and pulled Olivia into his arms.

“I was placed into the military by my grandfather at a young age. So, I've been conditioned to sacrifice myself for the country.

“I've been working hard for most of my life. In my remaining days, I just want to be with you and the kids.

"Even if it's just doing menial tasks like decorating the house. We haven't seen them in so long. They must've grown a lot."
