The sky was dotted with stars, adorned with a bright crescent moon.
Oliver Walker stood on the open balcony, gazing up at the starry sky…
Just then, a coat was draped over his shoulders.
Feeling the warmth, he slowly turned around and looked at his wife’s stunningly beautiful face, lost in thought montarily.
“It’s getting cold, be careful not to catch a chill!”
After a night of reflection, Emilia had already felt much better. Although she hadn’t been hard, the kidnapping had stirred up so unpleasant mories of the past.
Once you think things through, it gets better.
And after thinking it through, you only beco stronger and more fearless.
“Mhm!”
Oliver Walker nodded slightly and pulled his wife’s supple, delicate body into his embrace, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
At this point, early winter had set in.
Looking at the current temperature, it wouldn’t be long before it started snowing.
Moreover, being on an open balcony which couldn’t block the howling north wind, it indeed felt bitterly cold!
Emilia smiled radiantly, “I can’t sleep soundly without you by my side!”
Yes!
She had grown accustod!
Accustod to the faint scent of tobacco on this man.
“I’ll be back soon!”
Oliver Walker lit a cigarette and then fell silent again.
Emilia’s brows furrowed slightly, “Are you worried about sothing?”
She knew her husband’s habit; whenever he faced sothing troubling, he would smoke fiercely. Just looking at the dozen or so cigarette butts on the ground indicated that there was a serious issue at hand.
“Mhm!”
Oliver Walker didn’t conceal it, “I have a feeling that Eastern Ocean City will soon be plunged into a bloody storm.”
Although for now, the Eastern Alliance seed quiet.
The Blood Fiend rcenary Corps and the Higashimoto Company had also backed down in succession.
But for powers like these, there was never such a thing as backing down; it could only be called a strategic retreat.
Nobody knew the extent of the turmoil that would ensue once these three parties made their move again after being silent for so long.
The research base for the chip, seemingly impregnable, definitely still had vulnerabilities.
And failure was sothing the pyramid could not afford.
He had been thinking about how to reinforce security over there, to make it completely fail-safe.
But…
“Wife!”
Oliver Walker suddenly turned and said, “Can you leave Eastern Ocean City for a while?”
In the not-too-distant future, Eastern Ocean City would inevitably beco the epicenter of all conflict.
Every power would be converging towards Eastern Ocean City!
He didn’t want his wife to face any threats.
“I won’t leave!”
Emilia stubbornly shook her head, “I want to stay with you!”
She knew there must be a good reason her husband wanted her to leave, but…
In the end, she didn’t want to bear the agony of longing.
Of course, more importantly, no matter life or death, she wanted to never part from the man by her side!
Oliver Walker grew anxious, “But this place, it’s extrely dangerous!”
Emilia’s lips curved into a smile, “If being by your side isn’t safe, then is there anywhere in the world that is?”
Her retort left Oliver Walker speechless.
And upon further thought, it did seem to be the case!
If being by his side wasn’t safe, then anywhere else would be even more dangerous.
Even if they were to live incognito, it still wouldn’t deter the powerful intelligence network of the enemy!
“You have your duties, and I have my aspirations!”
“Now that Eastern Ocean City is the headquarters of Heavenly Sect Pharmaceuticals, how could I just leave?”
Emilia spoke softly, “I want to fight with you!”
“To contribute our little bit to this country, to our people!”
She knew what she wanted.
And she knew her husband didn’t want to neglect these things either; it was just that he was too busy dealing with them and couldn’t be in two places at once.
So what she was doing was essentially sharing his burdens.
Their dreams were the sa, to make the pyramid powerful and prosperous!
“You’re right!”
Oliver Walker laughed self-deprecatingly, “If you really chose to leave, I’d actually miss you too much!”
