The instant the head of the research institute confirmed the breakthrough with a formal report, an electric wave of shock and joy swept through the entire room.

“This is unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!”

The room erupted with laughter and loud cheers. “First Military is blessed! Our wounded brothers are saved!”

“Trevor, you really struck gold with your daughter–in–law! She’s worth more than a vault full of jewels!”

The generals‘ faces flushed with excitement.

One officer slammed the table so hard the noise echoed off the walls. Another clapped his friend on the back, and a few, suddenly reminded of old comrades forced into retirement by mental power injuries, even felt their eyes sting.

Compliments for Elizabeth burst forth, wild and unfiltered, as if words were free.

“She’s not just clever, she’s a genius! She’s got real foresight!”

“To turn a wasteland like A001 into a thriving oasis? That’s skill. That’s real grit!”

“Maybe she inherited some ancient legacy from Ancient Earth! I’m convinced she’s got something special in her blood!”

“Trevor, your son really married a treasure! Next time they visit, we’ve got to throw a real celebration!”

The praise got more extravagant with each second, and Trevor’s grin stretched so wide that every crease at his eyes deepened.

He knew these men were exaggerating, but every compliment about his daughter–in–law was music to his ears. He felt nothing but pride.

He felt so happy.

He felt like the luckiest man in the world.

Just as the room threatened to explode with excitement, a cold voice cut through the chaos like a bucket of ice water.

“That’s enough. Everyone, quiet down. This isn’t the time for a celebration.”

The speaker sat to Trevor’s left, a lean, sharp–eyed strategist everyone called the Chief Advisor and chief of staff. Among his peers, he was Jacob Quimby.

The room’s energy froze.

A few generals shot him annoyed looks.

“Jacob, what are you saying?” Oliver’s eyes widened. “This is the best news we’ve had in years! Why can’t we celebrate? Aren’t you happy too?”

“Yeah, Jacob, do you always have to ruin the mood?”

Jacob ignored their complaints and locked eyes with Trevor. “Commander, we all know this is great news. But think. If this gets out, what do you think outsiders will do? What will they want?”

He made the word “outsiders” sound especially heavy, making his point clear.

The mood dropped several degrees in an instant.

Everyone here was sharp. Their pure joy had clouded their sense for a moment, but Jacob’s warning snapped them right back to reality.

Oliver’s excitement faded as he slowly sat back down. He spoke in a low voice. “Are you saying someone might use this to hurt Elizabeth?”

Trevor’s smile vanished, his eyes sharpening with a dangerous edge only seen on the battlefield.

He straightened in his chair, fingers drumming a slow rhythm on the polished table, his voice low but icy.

“It’s not just possible. I’d say someone’s already started.”

A fresh surge of tension swept over the group. Instantly, they all thought of the recent rumors on Starnet, the sudden flood of attacks on Elizabeth, and all the wild tales about an oasis on Planet A001.

Nobody believed those scattered rumors were just random.

Oliver slammed his fist on the table, rattling every cup. His eyes burned with fury. “Who in the galaxy would dare target Elizabeth? Give me a name, and I’ll lead the team myself and wipe them out!”

Noah shot up on his feet, eyes fierce. “That’s right! If anyone tries to lay a finger on her, I’ll cut them off at the source! Do they really think First Military will just stand by?”

The other generals looked just as furious. In a heartbeat, the mood had flipped from celebration to a fierce, protective rage.
