A major general with a scar across his face gritted his teeth. “It’s more than just saving them! Jayden didn’t say it straight, but that word ‘reversible!.. If her stuff is really that magical, the First Military will have such a huge advantage in mental power combat that it’ll be hopeless for us! The Phantommare we worked so hard to raise might end up like a bunch of useless bugs in front of them!”

Another gloomy–looking staff officer added angrily, “Trevor, that old bastard! Back when his son got matched with that exiled criminal with a bad reputation, we laughed at him for so long behind his back. We said the Hewitts ruined their own reputation just to keep that old promise, marrying someone who would only cause trouble–a total disgrace! But who would’ve thought they’d get this lucky? How did they end up with such a huge treasure? What the hell kind of luck is that?!”

The meeting room was filled with heavy anger and frustration.

They had planned everything carefully, even making forbidden deals with dangerous forces to pull off that military strike. And now, it had all been undone by someone they never took seriously, someone they even mocked as the Hewitts‘ “disgrace.” All it took was a few potatoes she dug out of the dirt.

The frustration and absurdity of it were enough to make a man cough up blood.

Roman took a few heavy breaths before slowly sitting back down. The rage in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by something colder and more ruthless.

He looked around at his subordinates.

“Laugh?” His voice dropped, but it carried a hard edge. “The ones who should be laughed at now are us. That farm. Those crops. We can’t let the Hewitts keep them. Not for a second!”

He fell silent, fingers tapping against the table, clearly weighing something carefully.

The other officers held their breath. They knew their commander was about to make a major decision, one that came with serious risks.

About half an hour passed.

The last trace of hesitation vanished from Roman’s eyes. In its place was the cold resolve of a soldier. Once he made a decision, there was no turning back.

He picked up the communicator and called Jayden.

The call connected quickly. Jayden appeared on screen, still looking a little uneasy.

Before Jayden could speak, Roman gave his order. His voice was cold and left no room for argument. “Jayden, listen. That farm, the one on Planet A001, and all the tech and seeds Elizabeth has. I want you to get them at any cost, as fast as possible. And when I say ‘get them, you know what I mean. I want full control … or total destruction. We cannot let it keep serving the Hewitts.”

Jayden’s heart pounded. He could hear it loud and clear in Roman’s voice. There was a hard, almost militaristic edge to it.

This had gone way beyond a normal business takeover.

“Commander, I understand. Seafarm Group will use all its resources and do whatever it takes.” Jayden replied carefully. Then he asked his biggest concern, “But what about Commander Hewitt? If the Hewitts step in, or even use military force-”

“Don’t worry about Trevor,” Roman interrupted, his tone firm and absolute, with the kind of bossy authority only a top general had. “If I’m telling you to do this, then I’ll handle any direct pressure from the First Military. At least on the surface, within the rules, the Hewitts can’t use the military to take over a ‘business dispute. I’ll handle the rest. Just remember, get it at all costs! Money, manpower, tech, public opinion–whatever you need, make a list. I’ll make sure you have the green light.”

He stared at Jayden and emphasized, “This is not a request, Jayden. This is a mission that affects the balance of power. Failure is not an option. Understood?”

Facing Roman’s cold, oppressive gaze, Jayden felt his throat go dry.

He knew there was no turning back now. Seafarm Group was fully tied to the Fifth Military.

The risks and the rewards were bigger than ever before.

“Yes, Commander!” Jayden said, pushing aside his fear of how the Hewitts might react. He straightened his back and gave a clear answer. “Seafarm Group will do whatever it takes to complete the mission!”

The call ended.

Jayden sat alone in the secret room, not moving for a long time.

His fingers unconsciously traced the surface of his expensive desk.

Roman’s backing gave him a lot of confidence. It might even open doors that were out of reach before.
