Chapter 552 The Final Baseline

“Grandma, Diatoran is currently surrounded and attacked by several countries. Although we have won some battles in North Aridlands, the future situation isn’t in Diatoran’s favor. Diatoran might fall,” Henry said.

“Everyone can see that. I’m asking you if you know of a way we can stay in Southlake City,” Marilyn said exasperatedly.

“Diatoran is surrounded by enemies and will eventually be defeated. We might as well seek refuge in Vadesia. With that, we don’t need to leave Southlake City, and the businesses under our family won’t be affected.” Henry told them his opinions.

Richard had taught him to say these things.

After everyone heard Henry’s words, their faces darkened. They were all surprised that Henry was suggesting that they betray their country.

Immediately after, Carl scolded him loudly, “Bastard! The Stewart family isn’t a powerful, noble family, but we’ve been in Diatoran for generations. We’ll never defect to another country.

“The situation on the battlefield isn’t even clear yet, yet you want to commit treason after the slightest hint of difficulty?”

“Uncle Carl, we’ll die if we don’t find a way out. Diatoran is surrounded by enemies, and it’s evident that the country cannot defend itself against them. We might as well take this chance to pave our own path to survival,” Henry said.

“Things will never end well for those who commit treason. Is Quinton Hans’ death not horrible enough for you? I heard that he was beheaded, even. The ideal you proposed is going to destroy the family!” Carl snapped.

“You’re too cautious, Uncle Carl. The situation is clear as day. Diatoran won’t succeed in defending itself against its enemies. So what if we moved to Garthram? We’ll still end up dead once the enemies invade the city!” Henry argued.

“If we betray our country, the family will be met with a terrible ending. When Diatoran wins the war, the Stewart family will be wiped out!” Carl frowned.

“Uncle Carl, Grandma’s the head of the family, so let’s hear what she has to say.” Henry was of the opinion that Marilyn would surely betray her country for the sake of survival.

After a long silence, Marilyn spoke. “Henry, your Uncle Carl is right. Although the
