A business deal worth billions would be very attractive for a company. But for a country, the most important thing would be the intent behind the deal.

On the surface, the five superpowers maintained a balance, but every one of them wanted to reign supreme. Arlandia never caused any trouble, but it wasn't afraid of trouble either.

But alliances were always going to be better than wars. Wayne used to be a pesky troublemaker. He would stir trouble all over the place and cause unrest.

Trade was a common tactic for the two countries to maintain good relations. This meant that Wayne came with the intent to call for peace.

If he stopped causing trouble, Linus wouldn't have to stay at the country's border all the time. He could return to Aldenvine and help Mason.

Mason was getting older, and he felt even weaker after the last time he got hurt.

"It's fine. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I'll handle it for you."

Linus smiled gently. His eyes were filled with understa

    Olivia continued to provide Molly with some enlightenment. "As a mother, I shouldn't say something like this. But from the perspective of a child, do you think the baby would want such a life? "The Walkers are all vicious criminals. Krystal has no love for the baby. Even his father, Yale, is determined to kill him."If he were really brought into the world, his life would be miserable. Krystal might even use him as a pawn to get revenge against Yale and the Heath family."Krystal's around one month into her pregnancy. The baby hasn't fully formed yet. Getting an abortion for it would be a good thing for the baby itself and everyone else."Molly lowered her head and touched her belly. "I'm just worried that I can't get pregnant anymore. If that baby is born, I can…""Don't even think about that. You would just be making the same mistakes the previous generation did. "I have nothing against the baby, but genetics is a very wondrous thing. I have four children, so I have some ex

    Olivia was speechless. She even started to suspect that Wayne came all the way to Aldenvine for her.After she comforted Molly, she rolled up her sleeve and left. She was ready to teach him a lesson. Before she reached the living room, she heard a man yelling angrily."Why is it you? Get out of here!"Ethan was holding a cotton ball with tweezers in one hand and a bottle of medical alcohol. He looked like he was about to pour that alcohol on Wayne and set him on fire.Ethan said gruffly, "Didn't you refuse all the doctors? Well, I'm not a doctor. I'll take good care of you. Brent, hold him down.""Yes, Mr. Miller," Brent said as he came forward with several bodyguards. The voices made Olivia think about something. When the people in the village wanted to butcher a pig, they would round up the strong and fit villagers and hold the pig down. The butcher would then kill the pig personally. Wayne was like that pig waiting to be butchered. Ike also came forward and stood in Bre

    "Pardon me, I do not get what you're trying to say, Mr. Maxwell.""You don't have to play dumb. It doesn't suit you. My demand is simple, if you tend to my injuries, then all of that is just a joke. Or else…"He would claim that it was an act of terrorism. Then, things would get blown out of proportion.Olivia slowly walked toward Ethan. "Let me do it, Ethan.""Liv…"Ethan knew what Wayne was after. He didn't want Olivia to go through with it. She wouldn't have to care about all this if she didn't accept the Heaths as her family. But she was part of the family. So, she couldn't stand by and do nothing. Linus personally flew all the way to Raka to save her. It was time for her to do something for the family. It was just tending to Wayne's injuries. It wasn't anything much.She patted his hand. "I'll be done with it very quickly."Wayne was nothing more than a regular patient to her.Ethan frowned as he could only watch helplessly as she walked toward another man.She was

    Wayne's request was shocking but not unexpected. After all, the assassination was a major issue. For a person as vengeful as Wayne, it would have been impossible for him to let someone who tried to kill him go. But he did exactly that and didn't even get his people to investigate the incident. The only reason for this irregular reaction had to be because of Olivia's words.The two of them were basically strangers to each other. Mason couldn't think of any reason why Wayne would make such a proposal other than the fact that he liked Olivia. So, when Wayne said what he said, Mason wasn't all that surprised. He replied calmly, "I have a daughter and a granddaughter. Which one of them do you want to marry?"Yale was called over here, but he didn't think he would need to do anything. His resignation hadn't been approved by Mason yet. He didn't care about power as much as before. He was just doing his job.Mason's words got him worked up. He knew that there was something Mason hated

    Wayne frowned. He didn't even have experience dating women, and he was trying to get married right away. It was only natural that he didn't know the complications of that. "If you think the conditions I provided weren't enough, feel free to make some requests. I'm willing to lower my bottom line for her."Olivia looked at his confused gaze. She smiled and shook her head. "The Heath family doesn't need to sell out its daughters for profit. A marriage shouldn't be treated as a transaction."Mr. Maxwell, if you have no idea what marriage is about, you should date a woman and find out. Marriage is not fun and games. "If you really want to form an alliance with Arlandia, why don't we set this marriage aside, and focus on the alliance? It would benefit the citizens of both countries."Wayne grunted. "If we're not going to proceed with the marriage, why would I want to do anything to make the people happy? If I'm not getting what I want, no one's going to get what they want."Olivia

    Mason didn't talk about business while they were at the dining table. He finally got Wayne to shut up. Ethan felt a sense of danger. He had been rivals with Wayne for many years. He knew how stubborn Wayne could be. He knew Wayne wouldn't give up so easily. He was sure that Wayne had backup plans prepared. As expected, Wayne asked to talk to Mason in private. Mason had no reason to refuse. …Marina's legs started to improve three hours ago following a few days of rest. Although they would still hurt from time to time, it wasn't unbearable for her.

    Marina saw a face that looked exactly like Kurt's. Even though she never saw Kurt's body, she knew Ethan wouldn't lie to her about that. Besides, if Kurt was alive, he wouldn't have stayed away from her for so many years. Back then, Kurt was like her lapdog. She never really cared about him. But she hated him after he took her virginity. She only had eyes for Ethan back then. She had the urge to get an abortion. When Kurt knew about that, he pleaded with her not to do it. He promised to take responsibility after his mission. When he left for the mission, Marina had just gotten pregnant. It wasn't the best time to get an abortion.She didn't expect him to die. Some nights, she would think about him. She would think about him when she looked at Erina, too.Seeing that face again, Marina couldn't just leave him to die, no matter who he actually was. She carried Jack into her car with great effort. Then, she drove toward the hiding place she had prepared in advance. She knew

    If Kurt hadn't died, at least her daughter would still have a father. Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.The doctor dressed Jack's wounds and exited the room. With an inquisitive look, he asked, "Miss, this man has a lot of scars on his body. Who is he?"Marina gave him a stack of cash. "Don't ask anything you shouldn't. This is your fee."The doctor's eyes lit up at the sight of so much money. He understood that Marina had to be someone important, and he should just take the money and shut up."Understood, miss. His condition is stable. He just needs to rest for a while.""Thanks."Marina called Tim over. "Send the doctor back."She went back to the bedroom. Jack was topless and lying in bed. She could see his bandaged arms while his torso was covered by a blanket. The lighting in the basement was bad, so she hadn't gotten a good look before. She finally had a chance to get a good look at Jack.He almost looked identical to Kurt. Marina couldn't tell the di

People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless.

Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground.

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
