As if she had sunken into the mud, Krystal willingly fell into degradation.
She never once considered the future. She only knew that she was getting more and more dependent on Yale.
Meanwhile, the renovation work at the Heath residence was already underway. After making some tea for Mason, Olivia entered his study.
When Olivia saw Mason frowning deeply, she walked over to him and said in a gentle voice, "Grandpa, it's getting late. You should rest."
A thick stack of documents in red was placed in front of Mason. He looked quite troubled.
"Child, it's not that I refuse to sleep. I simply cannot fall asleep."
"Did something serious happen?" Olivia asked.
"Word of my injury still got out. In recent days, the countries near Arlandia are getting restless again.
"Beloria has detained more than 50 fishermen from our country at Forge Isle.
"In the western part of the country, someone caused trouble at the border, and there's the eastern part and the north-western part too …"
Mason was deeply troubled. Even though those weren't major incidents, it was like a lion's deep slumber being disturbed by a few mosquitoes buzzing around.
It was very annoying.
Having been united for decades, Arlandia saw rapid economic growth. Slowly, it became one of the three strongest countries in the world.
But since ancient times, there was the natural law of things separating after being united for too long, and vice versa.
After the country was at peace for decades, someone tried to cause trouble again.
"Those are just minor issues. Please don't be too concerned about them, Grandpa. With the way things are now, no one will dare to wage war recklessly."
Mason shook his head.
"Child, the country next to ours, Carathia, has been developing quite well recently. They keep trying to overtake us.
"If they weren't secretly supporting smaller countries like Beloria, a minor country like Beloria wouldn't dare take action."
Olivia mused, "Carathia? I remember that they got a new leader five years ago. The leader who had taken over was the youngest in history."
"He may look young, but he has quite the ambition."
