Mivite was a new form of geothermal energy that had been discovered all over the world. Not only was it rare, but it was incredibly valuable because of the immense energy it contained.
I myself had only heard rumors about it, with there being only one company in the entire world that had been able to harness it successfully.
Gorinth was a new country, and there was no way the top five nations—China, Russia, America, Israel, and South Africa—would allow such a thing to go unchecked.
My brows furrowed deeper in annoyance and unease as I stared at Nico, who still had his back to me, his gaze fixed on the endless stretch of the horizon where the sea met the sky.
Yet I kept staring at him when I felt every part of my body suddenly go numb as I forced myself to walk toward him, stopping only when I was back by his side, close enough to hear the quiet rhythm of his breathing over the soft crash of waves.
