“I’ll take you to Boss,” Melton finally said. “But she has her own rules and standards. Whether she accepts you or not isn’t my call”
“I understand. Thanks, Melton.”
Melton quickly informed Fiona, then led Orion and Humus toward the farm.
Elizabeth was inside the newly built seedling nursery greenhouse, guiding workers as they treated the seeds.
“Boss,” Melton called out respectfully from the greenhouse entrance.
Elizabeth looked up, saw him, and then noticed the two very different men standing behind him.
One was young, yet carried a lingering quiet intensity and sharp edge. The other was older, with steady eyes full of loyalty.
She shook the water off her hands and walked out.
“What’s the matter?” Her eyes landed on Orion, giving him her usual direct, assessing look.
Melton stepped aside and introduced them. “Boss, this is Orion Salazar-my old comrade from the Third Military. And this is Humus. He’s the Salazars’ longtime butler and also a veteran.”
He paused, then added, “Orion also has mental power damage. He ate the potatoes and sweet potatoes we sold earlier at Mercury Plaza, and his condition improved a lot. Now, he wants to bring Humus and join our farm.”
Orion stepped forward. Facing the young farm owner who had built many legends, he straightened his back-neither humble nor arrogant. “Ms. Schofield, I’m Orion, active-duty in the Logistics Department under the Third Military, rank captain. I was wounded in combat. My mental power level dropped, and I’m currently on standby. I can file for retirement at any time. My father is a lieutenant general, but he doesn’t value me. So on my own behalf, by my own choice, I’m asking for work here. I promise I won’t let my family background or former status bring any unnecessary trouble to your farm…”
He laid everything out clearly, like his background, the trouble it could bring, and his awkward situation. He wanted everything clear from the beginning so there wouldn’t be misunderstandings later.
But Elizabeth’s reaction surprised him.
She didn’t seem to care about the Third Military or the Salazars at all. She just waved a hand and asked, “Where’s your mental power now? How’s your real combat ability? Can you fight?”
It was so direct and shocking that Orion paused.
Then he quickly recovered and answered honestly, “Currently stable at early A-level, still recovering slowly. I’ve got plenty of combat experience in close-range fighting, mecha operations, and tactical command. I was formally trained in all of it. I haven’t fully lost it after the injury. As for my fighting strength…” He looked at Melton. “I’d say I’m about on the same level as Melton right now.”

Elizabeth’s eyes lit up a bit.

Right now, she was short on manpower, especially skilled fighters with strict discipline like Desmond, Melton, and Tiffany.
The farm was expanding fast, and all kinds of shady people and troublemakers were starting to show up.
She wasn’t scared of them, but they were annoying to deal with.
On top of that, she still hadn’t formed a proper armed team for the private space shipping lane application.
“Mm.” Elizabeth nodded, looking satisfied with his answer.
She didn’t ask anything else. With a simple flick of her hand, a holographic screen appeared. An official employment contract was displayed. “Read this. It’s the farm’s standard contract. Salary, job scope, rules, and penalties for breaking them are all written here. If there’s no issue, sign it.”
Orion didn’t expect her to be so straightforward. He froze for a moment, then took the screen and quickly scanned it.
The terms were clear and direct.
Even compared to Centria Planet, the base pay was generous.
But what really caught his attention were two clauses. First, priority buying rights for farm products. Second, employees and their immediate registered family members could buy farm goods at half price.
For Orion, who knew exactly how valuable the farm’s products were, those terms were almost impossible to refuse.
That wasn’t just about money. It meant steady access to healing resources and a real chance to stabilize or even improve his condition and mental power.
Of course, the restrictions were just as strict.
The contract lasted a long time-ten years.
During that time, he had to fully follow the farm’s reasonable work orders and safety rules. He couldn’t leak any business or technical information, and he couldn’t do anything that harmed the farm’s interests.
The penalty clause was harsh. Breaking it would mean massive compensation-enough to ruin an ordinary person.
But Orion didn’t hesitate.
Ten years?
If this place could really give him a second chance, as Melton said, then ten years meant nothing.

“I’ll sign. Orion said. He then used his personal terminal to complete the e-signature and biometric verification on the holographic screen.
Elizabeth checked it, confirmed everything was fine, and nodded. “Welcome aboard. Melton will arrange your exact position later. Stick with him for now.”
“Yes, Boss,” Orion replied. The heavy pressure in his chest finally dropped, but a strange new steadiness replaced it.
“Boss, then Humus…” Orion glanced at the old man beside him.
