Adina looked increasingly low-spirited. Terry was severely wounded in the previous clash with the
Rebellious Party. This time,he had faced weapon explosions.
She wondered if he was still alive. The Hestia Border was filled with crimes and wars. She would never
feel at peace staying in this place.
“The situation is getting more complicated,” said Flint.
“ Duke's new policy threatens many wealthy people's personal interests. It's likely that his enemies will
unite and fight against him.” Karl rested his hand on his chin.
"His new policies provide civilians with many job opportunities. He improves the level of security in this
area. Terry's followers will never fall behind." Adina pursed her lips tightly. She did not know what to
say. No matter what had happened, how sinful the place was, or how many civilians had died in this
tragic situation, it had nothing to do with Duke. She admitted that she was selfish. Duke and her four
children were her world. She hoped all of them could be safe and sound. She wished she could take
Duke with her and leave this chaotic place filled with war.
“Daddy took over the position less than a month ago. There are too many uncertainties,” said Alden.
"There are three parties eyeing him like hungry wolves. The elders' system is not balanced. There is a
huge gap between political and economic issues. This type of organization structure will give way to
problems sooner or later." Alden's high intelligence defeated Karl's once again. He had once heard the
same theory from his teacher who taught him history and politics. This was his first time hearing the
same thing from a four-year-old. Karl felt he had lived his life in vain.
"Mommy, we have to help Daddy.” George sounded serious.
“It has not been easy for Daddy to reach his current position. Many people want to kill him and take his
place. The leaders who have been removed from their position will only end up getting killed." Tears
welled up in Melody's eyes.
"George , you have to help Daddy...” It had not been easy for Melody to get over the disappearance of
her father. Now that she finally had him back, it was unimaginable to lose him yet again. George took
out a document from his drawer and passed it to Adina.
“Mommy, this is the top-secret internal information that we've gathered from the Black Party system
through the internet. Can you please pass it to Daddy?” Adina casually flipped through the documents.
The documents listed the names of all Black Party officers as well as Elder Maurice's and Elder
Dorien's confidants. It also listed the names of those who had decided on the sides they were going to
support under Elder Maurice's compulsion.
All the information was clear. This could make Duke's work easier. Adina was hesitant. Although the
Black Party had nothing to do with them, Duke was still their leader. No matter how reluctant she was
to get involved, she had to cooperate with Duke to handle the mess if she wanted to go back home with
him.
"I'll take it to him tomorrow,” said Adina.
"You have to stay at home obediently. Don't simply go out like today, okay?" Alden nodded.
“I would never go out without your permission. Mommy, you should warn Harold instead.” Harold was
solemn.
“I won't put Melody and my life at risk ever again. George will keep an eye on me.” The children
chuckled. But Adina found it hard to smile. She hoped that Duke was fine. She planned to go to Duke's
mansion the next morning. However, he knocked on her bedroom window in the middle of the night.
