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.
Elizabeth looked at Humus, who immediately straightened his back.
She seemed to notice his soldier–like presence and loyalty right away. She didn’t even ask what his skills were and simply said, “He signs the same contract. You two figure out the work yourselves. We’re short on people everywhere, so there’ll be something for him to do.”
Humus didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. He kept nodding, excited and almost overwhelmed, “Thank you, Ms. Schofield! I’ll do my best!”
After everything was settled, Orion suddenly remembered something and said, “Boss, I may need about a week off. I have to return to Centria Planet to handle my military resignation and some personal matters. I’ll be back in a week.”
“Sure.” Elizabeth was very easy to talk to.
Orion hesitated, then tested the waters. “Also… if the farm still needs people, I have some former comrades.”
He paused, searching for the right words, then continued more seriously. There was even a faint hint of pleading in his tone. “They’re like me. Badly injured in battle, mental power damaged, and then pushed aside by the military. Some were basically abandoned. They’re scattered on remote planets, living off tiny pensions. I’d stake my life on them. They’re loyal, reliable soldiers. They just got dealt a bad hand.”
He quickly went on before she could refuse. “If the farm is willing, I can contact them and do
