Many people had fled the nation and surrendered their citizenship during the war.
The officials of Zarain, Raysonia, and Keerea had been welcoming Erudia’s talents to migrate to their nation.
According to the latest tabulation, Zarain had welcomed a total of five hundred and seventy thousand people whereas Raysonia and Keerea had accepted a total of four hundred and twenty thousand, and three hundred and thirty thousand people respectively.
The professionals were included in the list, but those who had sneaked into the country weren’t on the records.
In other words, there were much more than they could ever imagine.
Nonetheless, it was a great attempt to flush out the disloyal ones since they valued nothing above their personal gain.
To the traitors’ surprise, the people of Erudia managed to defend themselves from the foes of the country.
Thus, those who had fled ended up in an awkward situation as they couldn’t make up their mind if they should make their way back to Erudia.
Truth be told, the only reason they had fled Erudia was for their safety. It wasn’t because they could live a better life abroad.
As a matter of fact, they might not do well abroad since they had spent most of their lives in Erudia.
Not many of them could get those in charge from Zarain to fulfill the conditions they listed since they weren’t as capable as Jared.
A majority of them found out they had been imagining things as they discovered the fact that it may not be an easy life living abroad.
Those from the foreign countries deemed these migrants inferior to them and showed them mercy merely because of their wealth, talents and resources.
The ones with various talents and resources could still sustain their day-to-day life, but most of them had been having it tough.
They knew it was only a matter of time until those foreigners made up their minds to get rid of them the moment they couldn’t be of much use.
Although none of them had talked about it, they were well aware of the things awaiting them and shared a similar thought, including the successor of the Lopez and Black families, who had long fled to Zarain.
Those from Zarain had been taking advantage of their limited resources in various aspects. Although it had merely been a short while, their wealth had diminished by over thirty percent.
The ones who had fled from the families weren’t particularly talented. They couldn’t even defend themselves, let alone the nation.
Their families were the only reasons they could make a name out of themselves. In short, they were merely nobodies without the support of their families from Wildefield.
They finally found out they were in a nasty situation immediately after the war because it was only a matter of time until the depletion of their limited resources.
They couldn’t possibly acquire help from their families again. Thus, Logan, Shaun, and Henry gathered around to discuss their next best course of action.
Meanwhile, Jennie and Melanie, who had always looked forward to living abroad, made it clear they had no intention of leaving. As a matter of fact, they wouldn’t mind spending the rest of their lives there if it was possible.
Similarly, Shaun and Logan were of the same ideas and thought they had been living a great life in Zarain.
“Within the next four to five years, we won’t encounter any problems since we’re able to sustain our lifestyles. However, what are we going to do five years later?” Fabian, who was the only calm and collected one, asked the rest in the room.
“I-I—”
When they heard him, they went dead silent since they were aware they couldn’t rely on others’ support forever.
“Shall we make our way back to Erudia?” Henry asked.
“No! It’s so embarrassing to make our way back when everyone considers us traitors of the nation! I’m afraid our seniors won’t let us return since they have the same thoughts! Also, why are we making our way back to Erudia when we’re having the best time in life in Zarain?”
“I have an idea,” Henry suggested since everyone was against the idea of making their way back.
“What is it? Stop beating around the bush and tell us!”
The rest of his friends looked at him in anticipation of a great plan.
