Chapter 652
With a rueful smile, Oliver lamented, “I worry that after you joined the military base, I’d lose any chance with you. Chubs, I took another risk for you.”
Mila retorted sternly, each word dripping with anger, “Oliver, you killed my grandmother and imprisoned my parents for years.
“After everything you’ve done, did you truly believe that imprisoning me would make me want to be with you?
“Dream on. Even in death, I won’t grant you peace!”
Tears shimmered in Oliver’s eyes as he stood tall, a mixture of laughter and sorrow escaping him as he looked at Mila. “Did you ever care for me back then when I kept a low profile?
“I’ve risked it all for you multiple times. Even Lucas said I was a fool for love. But what about you? Do you understand my feelings?”
“I don’t care,” Mila replied disdainfully.
With a determined smile, Oliver approached Mila slowly. “That’s why I must keep you captive. Otherwise, I’ll never win your heart.”
Mila, holding Jasper tightly, backed away timidly. As Oliver drew near she hurriedly turned and sprinted upstairs, locking herself in her room.
Watching her panicked escape, tears filled Oliver’s eyes.
This time around, he had no way out. Nathan had lost his mind and Dorzania was no longer safe.
Meanwhile, in Tacker Manor in Phoenicia, Donald slammed his hand on the table, his expression twisted in anger and frustration as he yelled at Nathan, “We still have over a month left, why couldn’t you wait? Why? You’ve thrown Norvania into chaos, striking fear in everyone!”
Nathan remained unfazed, his tone cold. “During your term, you’ve been indecisive, allowing foreign influences to infiltrate every aspect of Norvania.
“I planned to wait until you stepped down before acting, but I was wrong. I won’t wait another second.”
Taking a deep breath, Donald tried to
calm himself before continuing, “Fine, I can understand rooting out spies and even killing Jacob, but- shutting down all Yale’s businesses and issuing a warrant for his arrest without a valid reason? You’ve gone too far!
“And why lead troops to attack Dorzania’s islands? Why invade another country’s territory? Do you even see me as the President anymore?”
Nathan’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, an intimidating aura surrounding him. With Mila and Jasper being abducted and their whereabouts unknown, he would hesitate at nothing, even if the President, Donald himself stood in his way.
Phoebe had returned to Phoenicia wounded.
Upon discovering Mila and Jasper’s abduction, Nathan wasted no time and swiftly ordered Jacob’s arrest. Two days later, Jacob was apprehended, but no information on their whereabouts could be

extracted. Without hesitation, Jacob was executed.
Suspected spies within the military base were arrested and subjected to intense questioning, throwing the military base into disarray and instilling fear in many.
Under the pretext of a military operation, Nathan seized the opportunity to launch an attack on Dorzania’s small islands, dismantling the Dark Shadows Society and eliminating their leaders including Murray.
Nathan’s focus then shifted to Phoenicia.
All industries under Yale’s name were deemed threats to national security, resulting in the shutdown of all business operations. Every venture was halted, and Yale’s financial resources were drained. Had it not been for Lillian’s timely intervention and support, Yale wouldn’t have escaped Phoenicia.
Now, Nathan relentlessly hunted
Yale worldwide as well as searched for Mila and Jasper. His search initially concentrated on the
frontiers, where he established net
high-security checkpoints to monitor all-modes of transportation
ensuring no one slipped through the cracks.
Regardless of the election outcome, Nathan was determined to crush these dark forces once and for all.
