Chapter 233 Come In!

“I’ve seen your sincerity,” Elizabeth said with a nod. Her tone stayed cold. “But I’m not planning to work with your group. This is a small farm; we’re not in your league. Please leave.”
The direct rejection made Rufus’s smile stiffen.
He tried to keep his cool and kept pushing. “Ms. Schofield, there’s no need to shut us out. Seafarm Group came with great sincerity. From what we understand, your farm is having trouble getting seeds, right? Ou group has the most complete and highest–quality seed bank in the kingdom. We can supply almost any edible crop, and we can guarantee you top–priority supply. If you work with us, seeds will no longer be a problem. We can also support you with technology, funding, and sales channels. It’s a win–win.”
“Sorry. I don’t need it,” Elizabeth replied simply.
Rufus’s eyes darkened. He glanced at the ragtag mob standing behind her, then at his own well–armed guards and the respected experts behind him. A wave of annoyance at being looked down upon started to rise.
He kept up a polite front, but his voice turned firm. “Ms. Schofield, maybe you don’t understand what it means to refuse Seafarm Group. From what we know, you’ve been collecting seeds everywhere, even trading valuable goods for low–quality ones. That shows how badly you need seeds. And over 90% of the legal seed market in the kingdom is controlled by Seafarm Group and our partners. If we make a few calls…”
He paused for effect. “You may find it hard to get any decent seeds through official channels. Maybe Richie handled things badly before, but the point still stands.”
Another threat.
Elizabeth scoffed internally. It seemed people from Seafarm Group were used to being bullies.
Threats were all they knew.
“You don’t need to worry about my seed issue,” she said calmly. “If that’s all you came to say, then you can leave.”
Seeing that Elizabeth was like a brick wall, Rufus finally started to lose his temper.
At that moment, the experts behind him–who’d been holding back–stepped forward.
Stephan spoke first, his face serious and full of authority. “Ms. Schofield! We are experts from the Kingdom Academy of Agriculture! We have the duty to supervise and guide all agricultural operations! We suspect your farm is using outdated soil–based farming methods that could seriously harm consumer health! We must enter your farm to inspect and take samples! This is for public safety!”
Halle chimed in, her tone sharp. “That’s right! This primitive farming method will definitely cause crops to absorb harmful substances! The safety of the products you’ve been selling is highly questionable. You must cooperate with our inspection!”
Wayne was even more direct. He turned to the head of the guard team Rufus brought and said, ‘Since they aren’t cooperating, we have the right to enter for the public good! Clear the way for us!”
Chapter 233 Come In!
Finished
The guard captain looked at Rufus.
Rufus had lost his patience. He gave a cold nod, basically allowing the experts to force their way in.
He didn’t believe this small farm–with no real security–could stop Seafarm Group’s guards.
“Try it and see who dares!” Melton stepped forward hard. The broken parts of his old mech gave off a low hum, and a strong, battle–hardened aura spread out.
Tiffany, Tyson, and the others stepped up too, their eyes cold.
Rufus saw this and smiled, full of contempt. “I suggest you stay calm. Those … antique mech parts you’re wearing won’t stop our latest Stinger–III energy rifles. These things can punch through B–level mech armor like it’s nothing. Is it really worth dying over a few fields?”
A clear show of force. A direct threat.
A cold light flashed in Tiffany’s eyes. Her fingers curled slightly, ready to strike.
Her fighting instinct was fully triggered.
“Tiffany!” Elizabeth suddenly spoke, her voice calm.
Tiffany paused and looked at her.
