straightened themselves again.
“Let’s go book a reservation,” Bruno said quietly as he stepped forward toward Fiona’s desk.

Julian and the others followed right behind him, their pride and sharp judgment as military family members slowly returning to their faces.
The line wasn’t long. Soon, it was their turn.
Bruno stepped forward first and spoke politely, “Hello. We’d like to reserve a farm visit.”
Fiona lifted her eyes and calmly looked over the group. Her fingers were already moving across the holographic screen. “Please scan your identity information here.”
Bruno displayed the identification code on his device.
Julian and the others followed and did the same.
Since it was a group request, Fiona seemed to move slightly slower than usual.
Her eyes moved quickly across the holographic display, comparing sets of complicated data.

A few seconds later, she looked up at Bruno. Her tone stayed calm, but her words made every chill
“Mr. Bruno, I’m sorry. You and your companions…” She paused briefly before continuing clearly, “Our system has reviewed your records. It confirms that all of you made many negative posts, mocking comments, and improper speculations about our farm owner, Ms. Elizabeth, on public Starnet forums According to the Farm’s Visitor Access and Conduct Policy, you’ve been flagged and placed on the blacklist. From now on, the farm won’t accept reservations, visits, or purchase requests from any of you”
“What?!” Shawn reacted first.
He expected some resistance because of tensions between the Fifth and First Military, but he never/ imagined the farm would use such a “ridiculous” reason.
“Blacklisted? Just because we made a few comments online? Are you serious? What kind of business refuses customers just for talking online?!”
Bruno’s brows tightened sharply.
He held back the impulsive Shawn and turned to Fiona. “Can you explain exactly what counts as negative comments? What standards are being used for this decision? Also, we came here sincerely to buy products. Doesn’t this approach seem careless? Or perhaps…”
He paused deliberately, his eyes sharp. “Is it because your farm owner belongs to the First Military, so you’re intentionally targeting those from the Fifth Military?”
Fiona stayed completely calm despite the accusation. She even brought up a small display screen showing a list of highlighted text excerpts.
Although the full IDs and timestamps were hidden, the familiar wording and harsh tone made Bruno, Shawn, and the others‘ faces shift slightly.
Those were indeed the nasty comments they had posted across Starnet forums when news first spread about Elizabeth and Cristian’s perfect genetic match.
As rivals to the First Military, the Fifth Military had been eager to mock the Hewitts whenever possible.
As their juniors, they naturally joined in, spreading slander about Elizabeth just to irritate the Hewitts.
Looking at those comments now, the words clearly sounded spiteful and harsh.
“Our system analysis confirms that all of you showed clear hostility toward our farm owner,” Fiona said as she closed the display. “This isn’t about your background. It’s about your actions. Our rules apply to everyone equally.”
“Bullshit!” Shawn’s frustration finally exploded into anger.
To him, that felt like a planned humiliation. “Stop pretending to be fair and hiding behind rules! You know who we are, and you’re making things hard on purpose! My grandfather is a general in the Fifth Military‘

By doing this, are you trying to start a war between the two militaries?!”
His loud voice drew curious looks from nearby visitors and customers waiting in line.
Fiona didn’t react at all. She calmly repeated, “Our rules are based on personal behavior. Anyone showing hostility toward the farm owner is unwelcome. If you want to be removed from the blacklist, gheck the conditions posted on that board. After admitting your mistake and making a public apology, you may apply to reduce your points through labor.”
While speaking, she pointed toward the “Pending Atonement Area.”
