Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Bleeding The Shawn Family Dry

His mother and Wendy alone needed at least two plants, which would cost 60 million starcoins.

Plus, there were the severely infected females, his personal contacts, and the families he needed to keep satisfied…

Cassian’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

“Dora,” Cassian’s voice was dry, “you’re really profiting off my crisis.”

Dora tilted her head, her smile unwavering. “Mr. Shawn, I’m just doing business. I set my own prices.

“You don’t have to buy from me. Just wait until it pops up on the Interstella Net and try your luck.”

Cassian fell silent.

He knew the Interstella Net was completely out of stock.

There were hundreds of buy requests posted, but not a single deal had been made.

Agave plants were impossible to find during this season, no one would even think of selling them.

If he couldn’t get his hands on agave, his mother and Wendy were doomed.

The severely infected females would be goners too.

The Shawn family would be wiped out, no hope left.

“I’ll buy it,” Cassian said through gritted teeth.

Dora raised an eyebrow. “How many do you want?”

Cassian took a deep breath and said, “Twenty.”

That was 600 million starcoins.

Dora nodded and said to Elmer, “Go get twenty agave plants.”

Elmer nodded and turned to leave.

Before long, Elmer returned, cradling a delicate wooden box, which he handed to Cassian.

Cassian took the box and opened it.

Inside, twenty agave plants were neatly arranged. Their leaves were thick and fleshy, the roots plump, all in excellent shape.

“Optical Brain transfer,” Dora said.

Cassian took a deep breath, opened his Optical Brain, and entered the amount: 600 million starcoins.

The moment the transfer went through, it felt like his heart was bleeding.

All his savings over the years, his mother’s private stash, and the Shawn family’s liquid funds… all of it was now in Dora’s hands.

Dora watched as the starcoins landed in her account, grinning with satisfaction.

“Take care, Mr. Shawn. See yourself out,” she said.

Cassian looked at her, his eyes full of mixed emotions.

The girl who once followed him everywhere had now become so formidable.

He wasn’t even worthy to stand before her anymore.

He turned and left.

Elmer watched Cassian walk away and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Dora, you’re savage,” he teased.

Dora shot him a look. “Savage? Please, he totally deserved it.

“Just treat it as him making up for what he owes the Blackflame Trading Guild.”

Lioren’s amber eyes gleamed with approval. “The word’s out.

“It won’t be long before the families of those infected females find out the Shawn family has agave plants.

“They’ll swarm the Shawn family, begging for it. Things are about to get chaotic over there.”

Dora’s lips curved into a smile.

‘Perfect,’ she thought.

She picked up her coffee cup and took a gentle sip.

Outside, the rain had stopped at some point.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds, landing on her radiant face.

By the time Cassian rushed back to the Shawn residence with the agave plants, Regina was barely hanging on.

The therapist took the agave plants, quickly processed it into juice, and used his healing-type supernatural ability to give it to both Regina and Wendy.

Half an hour later, Regina’s face finally regained a bit of color, and her breathing became steady again.

Wendy’s fever started to go down, and her convulsions stopped.

Kael let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair.

Cassian stood off to the side, watching his frail mother lying in bed, his heart a tangled mess of emotions.

600 million starcoins.

That was everything the Shawn family owned. Cassian wondered what his mother would think when she finally woke up,

As Cassian’s figure disappeared through the door, the living room fell silent for a moment.

“Dora!” Vivienne grabbed Dora’s hand, her eyes wide with shock. “How do you have so much agave plants?”

Iris edged closer, sounding anxious. “Sis, did you really sell all our agave plants? What are you going to do now?”

Dora couldn’t help but smile at how anxious her mom and sister looked.

“Mom, Iris, don’t worry,” she said, patting Vivienne’s hand. “I’ve still got plenty left.

“These are the ones I brought back from Zone 32 last time, the same kind Mindy used to make the combat suits/

Then, she retrieved some more agave plants from her Spatial Realm and handed it to her mother.

“Make sure to add these to the family’s combat suits. Without them during the wet season, people get infected super easily,”

she said..

Vivienne paused for a moment, then realization dawned on her.

Zone 32.

That perilous place.

Her daughter hadn’t just returned safe and sound, she’d brought back so many precious resources.

Vivienne’s eyes turned red with emotion, and she gripped Dora’s hand even tighter.

“Dora…” Vivienne’s voice caught, thick with emotion. “You’ve really grown up.”

Dora just smiled, saying nothing.

Iris stood nearby, watching Dora with pure admiration in her eyes.

She still hadn’t fully recovered, her face a little pale, but her eyes were bright with admiration.

“Dora,” she whispered, her voice full of awe, “you’re amazing.”

Zone 32 was so dangerous, but Dora had the guts to go there.

Agave plants were so precious, but Dora had plenty of it.

When Cassian came begging for medicine, Dora set the price at ten times the usual rate, cool as ever.

‘When will Lever be as gutsy and smart as Dora?’ Iris wondered.

Dora noticed Iris’s gaze and turned to look at her.

“Iris, what’s wrong?” she asked.

Iris hurriedly averted her gaze and whispered, “N-nothing…”

Dora glanced at Iris, and suddenly remembered something.

She pulled out two blueberry trees from her Spatial Realm.

“Here,” she said, passing the trees to her mom and sister. “Go ahead and plant them in your Spatial Realm.”

Vivienne and Iris froze in surprise.
