Melton offered. “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

Elizabeth’s smile widened. “Thanks, both of you. Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you.”

Seeing that Elizabeth was completely unharmed and firmly in control of the situation, Adam prepared to lead everyone back.

Before leaving, he asked carefully, “Ms. Schofield, uh… are we still coming to work tomorrow?”

“Of course you are,” Elizabeth replied without hesitation. She gestured toward the endless stretch of garbage mountains around them. “I’m planning to clear out this entire area. I’ll need a lot of hands. Anyone in your small town who can still move and is willing to work can come tomorrow.”

After a brief pause, she added one condition. “My only rule is no trouble. Otherwise… I’ll get angry.”

The excitement that had been building in the crowd instantly cooled at those three simple words.

If someone as powerful as her got angry, that wouldn’t be a small matter.

Adam, however, wasn’t deterred in the slightest.

He’d already braced himself for the possibility that there wouldn’t be any more work later on, so hearing this was like a blessing falling from the sky.

Looking at the endless garbage mountains, he could practically see piles of jobs, nutrients, and potatoes waiting for them.

He hurriedly promised, “Ms. Schofield, don’t worry! Anyone who isn’t honest and willing to put in real effort, I won’t allow them to come and cause you trouble!”

Standing behind her mother, Tiffany, Tasha gathered her courage and spoke up timidly. “Mr. Rose… c–can I come work with Selina and the others tomorrow?”

Adam glanced at Tiffany and chuckled. “That’s up to your mom.

Tiffany looked at the hope shining in her daughter’s eyes and smiled warmly. “Why wouldn’t I agree? If you can work for Ms. Schofield and support yourself, I couldn’t be happier.”

Adam called for the townsfolk to head back to Hope Town.

Tiffany stepped forward instead and said to Elizabeth, “Ms. Schofield, I’ll stay tonight. These men are slippery by nature. Watching them alone, there’s bound to be something you miss. Another pair of eyes

won’t hurt.

Seeing her mother volunteer, Tasha quickly added in her clear voice, “Ms. Schofield, I’ll stay too! I’ve got sharp eyes. I can keep watch. If anyone slacks off, I’ll spot it right away!”

Chapter 73 Temporary Residence

Elizabeth knew perfectly well that with the Grand Five–Element Sword Light Formation in place, these men couldn’t stir up even the smallest ripple.

Still, she didn’t refuse the goodwill from the mother and daughter.

Once this place developed further, she’d need trustworthy people to help manage things anyway. Building a sense of belonging early wasn’t a bad idea.

She nodded. “Alright. Thanks, Tiffany.”

Timothy and Selina both looked eager, clearly

to stay as well.

But they knew they weren’t as capable as Tiffany and couldn’t help Elizabeth much, and Yvonne was still waiting for them back in the small town. In the end, they could only wave goodbye to Elizabeth.

After leaving the brightly lit clearing that felt almost cut off from the surrounding darkness, and once Elizabeth’s figure disappeared from sight, the suppressed whispers in the Hope Town group finally broke free in low murmurs.

“My God… Those moves just now… That was terrifying.”

“Who exactly is Ms. Schofield? What were those silver flashes? I couldn’t even see them clearly!”

“No wonder she dares to live out here alone. She’s got a trump card like that.”

“Well, she is Mrs. Hewitt. Isn’t it normal for her to have some powerful self–defense weapon?”

“Maybe, but did you see her? She didn’t even blink the whole time! That kind of nerve… That’s not ordinary.

Their voices were filled with lingering fear, shock, and deep respect for Elizabeth’s unfathomable strength.

At the front of the group, Adam and Melton walked side by side.

Both looked calm on the surface, their expressions unreadable.

Adam lowered his voice, so only the two of them could hear. “Melton, what do you think of Ms. Schofield?”

Melton was silent for a moment, eyes fixed on the endless darkness ahead, before answering slowly. “Aside from whatever protective weapon the Hewitts might’ve given her, she herself… isn’t simple. That composure under pressure, that kind of nerve–it’s not something ordinary people have. I doubt all her confidence comes from the Hewitts.”
