\Chapter 1192
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 Belori minor country like Beloria wouldn’t dare
take action.”
Olivia mused, “Carathia? I remember that they got a new leader
years ago. The leader who had taken over was the youngest in hist

“He may look young, but he has quite the ambition.”
Olivia closed the documents. “No matter how great his ambition is, you have to go to sleep right now.
You shouldn’t stay up late. Be good
and listen to your doctor!”
Mason smiled helplessly. “Alright, I’ll be good.”
Olivia helped him put on his coat. Then, she helped him back to his room. Even when he was washing
up, Olivia kept him company.
She even concocted a special herb blend for Mason to soak his feet
1. She massaged his legs as well, taking great care of him.
She covered him with a blanket. Under the dim lights, for some
reason, Mason took Olivia’s hand and called out, “Nat.”
Olivia patted him on the shoulder. “Go to sleep, Grandpa.”
After Mason had fallen asleep, Olivia opened the door and went out.
She retrieved a document with some information on it.
The leader of Carathia was a man called Wayne Maxwell. He was 35
years old this year, and he was single.
He had lived quite an interesting life so far. He went through lots of

hardship to finally be where he was.
He was a cruel and heartless man, and he was also very decisive a
quick to act.
In his five years of rule, he not only made lots of bold reforms, but he also strengthened the
connections between Carathia and its
neighboring countries.
Olivia found it odd. The relationship between neighbors couldn’t
change overnight.
Many of those countries maintained friendly relations with Arlandia,
and they behaved like vassal states to Arlandia.
But before anyone could catch on, those countries slowly took Carathia’s side instead.
During an international meeting, the countries surprisingly opposed Arlandia, and they looked like
Carathia’s lackeys.
This had happened in a very short period, so, of course, something was off.
Olivia gently tapped her fingers on the desk. Wayne was a handsome
man.
Even in photos, his eyes were filled with aggressiveness.
It was no wonder that Olivia didn’t see Linus around today. He must be dealing with these things.
Olivia guessed that Mason would be in even more trouble in the future.
The assassination couldn’t have been the ending; it was just the beginning.
