Nathan''s expression turned serious as he shook his head.
M was shocked. "So, Yale isn''t Oliver after all?"
"I''m not sure. All the data on Oliver''s DNA in the database has been erased, even the previous samples are gone," Nathan replied.
M clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. "No wonder he was so calm today. Turns out, he''s got nothing to fear anymore."
"Maybe it''s because he got cautious after I took his blood at the wedding," Nathan said, leaning back on the couch and closing his eyes. "He''s nning to run for election, so it''ll be even tougher to catch him then."
"He''s truly terrifying," M remarked. "He leaves no trace in anything he does. It''s all cleaned up perfectly."
Nathan reached for her hand, squeezing it tight as he said, "I''m most worried about you now."
"You don''t have to worry about me. From now on, I''ll make sure to bring Phoebe with me whenever I go out, along with a few others," M replied.
"Project 905 is about to kick off, so you have to start preparing, too. We''ll be heading to the frontier soon," Nathan said.
"What about Jasper?" M''s mood shifted to a more somber tone as she reluctantly lowered her head. "He''s still young. Should he stay with my parents or yours?"Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Bring him with us," Nathan said, embracing M. "We can keep him close for the next few years until he starts school."
"Okay."
The maid came to announce that dinner was ready.
As the family gathered around the dining table, they engaged in lively conversation andughter, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Nathan briefed Zach, Tristan, and Micha about his uing work at the frontier.
Intrigued, Zach asked, "I understand Nate''s role and responsibilities, but I''ve always been curious about what Wanda does. It seems so mysterious." M and Nathan exchanged a knowing smile.
"Wanda used to work at the Suntend Research Institute," Micha exined.
"What kind of work did she do there?" asked Zach.
Micha shrugged. "She never mentioned it. It was a government institution, so we didn''t pry too much."
Tristan added, "Yeah, Dad. There''s probably a good reason if Wanda isn''t talking about it. It''s fine as long as she''s not doing anything wrong."
M leaned toward Nathan and whispered, "Nate, do research units in Norvania have confidentiality agreements?"
"No, researchers are highly
respected here, and it''s a prestigious
job. There''s usually no need for secrecy And if there were, it would
be to protect information froential
outsiders and prevent any potential danger."

Reassured by his exnation, M boldly confessed to her family, "I''m a chemistry researcher and also a military engineer. My job mainly involves researching chemical weapons for military use, such as fighter jets, missiles, and so on."
The three of them present were suddenly dumbfounded. They stared at her in shock and exchanged bewildered nces.
M couldn''t help butugh. "What''s with you guys?"
"S-So, you''re a researcher who works with military weapons?" Zach sounded amazed.
M smiled in response. "Grandpa,
you''ve always pushed me to do well
in my studies. You''ve invested a great deal in my education, all because you''ve wanted me to seed, haven''t you?" S
Zachughed, "Yeah, I wanted you to seed, but I never expected you to be this impressive! No wonder you chose to be a citizen of Suntend."
He finally grasped M''s challenges. To ess cutting-edge technology from a powerful nation, M had to join a more prestigious team where she could delve into the details. However, these powerful nations typically preferred their own citizens, making naturalization the sole path to acquiring additional expertise.
With M achieving sess in her studies, it was now time for her to return and strengthen her homnd.
Tristan and Micha weren''t as surprised as Zach. During their time in Suntend, they had already recognized the significant importance of M''s work.
