“And there’s something else that matters,” Alex continued. “There’s an offshore oil field in the eastern sea. Once we have a fleet, we can secure it. Oil is critical for us.”

Hayley thought it over seriously. “Alright. Start planning construction.”

It made perfect sense. A fleet meant access to new resources and another strategic fallback. They needed it.

Alex listed several more development directions, all focused on industrial upgrades.

However, that brought up a new problem.

Haylight League had entered an awkward phase. They were producing too many resources, yet too few people were consuming

them.

Their farmland could support a population of one million, but they currently hafi barely ten thousand residents.

Supplies kept piling up, and any industrial expansion required manpower.

They needed people; a lot of people.

“I’ll figure out the population issue,” Hayley said thoughtfully.

Where the hell was she supposed to get more people?

Just then, someone knocked on her office door. “Ms. Reid, the guest at the villa wants to see you.”

“Tell him to wait.”

“He says he’s ready to seriously discuss returning home.”

Hayley’s eyes lit up immediately.

Returning home…

She suddenly knew exactly where to get people.

A short while later, Hayley arrived at Nathaniel’s villa.

He was already seated at the coffee table, waiting for her.

“Holly,” Nathaniel said, “we’ve stayed here quite a while. We plan to return soon Once in back, I’ll report everything about your base to our director Ark One will formally form an alliance with Base Kt. We’ll sign an agreemer at low lim qalyje together”

“To show our sincerity,” Nathaniel added, “we’ll send your base go thousand tons of gcam and tow thousand crystal.com

Hayley smiled “No need to talk about money between tends We re already close friends bringing grappin’s feet cold

Nathquel smiled back Then what do you want?

“People,” Hayley said “Send me 2,000 adults, then you’re free to go

Nathaniel froze, momentarily at a loss for words

Hayley generously named her price Two thousand people in exchange for his group the person short, and nobody could trave

Nathaniel considered it briefly before nodding. “Agreed. I’ll send double.”

“See, I knew you were a sincere partner,” Hayley said warmly. “That’s why I like working with you.”

Nathaniel looked straight at her. “I want you to come back with me.”

Hayley blinked, completely caught off guard.

Nathaniel said seriously, “For the sake of strengthening relations between our bases, I want to marry you. Even if you’re pregnant, it doesn’t matter. I’ll raise your children. I’ll be their father.”

Hayley stared at him, speechless.
