Chapter 388 A Fatal Bet

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. “At the rate her farm is growing, it won’t be long before she complete dominates the high–end natural food market. When that happens, will there be any room left for Seafarm Group? Negot just asking to die!”

what do you suggest? Keep fighting and just watch as we lose the entire market and all our people?” the one who ed negotiation shot back, refusing to back down.

ight, we die. If we negotiate, we die. Then we might as well take a gamble!” the opponent shouted.

meeting room instantly erupted into chaos. Voices overlapped as anxiety, anger, regret, and fear collided, the negative tions nearly bursting through the ceiling.

Enough!” Jayden, sitting at the head of the table, could no longer hide the exhaustion on his face.

He slammed his hand down on the table. The sound was not loud, but it carried enough authority to force the argument to st

He looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on the middle–aged shareholder who opposed negotiation. “You said we should take a gamble. How? Do we even have any cards left to play?”

The man took a deep breath, forcing down his emotions. A ruthless, desperate glint flashed in his eyes. “Mr. Norton, everyone… may not have the strength to take on the farm directly, but we’re not alone. Don’t forget, Elizabeth and her farm haven’t just offended us.”

He paused, then said each word slowly and clearly. “The Fifth Military,”

The words landed like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the chaos in the room.

“The Fifth Military was blacklisted by that woman too,” the man/continued, his tone carrying a strange excitement. “And not just one person. The entire command was put on her blacklist. This isn’t just business competition. It’s a direct slap in the face, an insult to an entire military division of the kingdom. What kind of temper does Commander Lynch have? And the Fifth Military has always been at odds with the First Military. Now they’ve been treated like this by the Hewitts‘ daughter–in–law. Do you really think they’ll just swallow it?”

“You’re suggesting…” Jayden’s eyes shifted slightly.

“The enemy of our enemy is our friend,” the man said firmly. “The Fifth Military must hate Elizabeth and farm just as much as we do. They’ve just held back because of the Hewitts and the First Military. But if we take the initiative to approach them, ofter information, resources, even… some ‘special‘ assistance.. they might be willing to act.”

As he spoke, his thinking became clearer. “The farm is bigger now. More people, more attention. If the Fifth Military is willing apply pressure behind the scenes, whether through policy, resources, or even… security issues, they could create ‘problems or ‘incidents‘ for her. That might be enough to slow her down or even make her stumble badly. And once that happens, the presse on us will ease.”

The room fell silent again. But this time, the silence was no longer empty despair. It was filled with calculation, hesitation, and a hint of reckless resolvè, like gamblers placing everything on one final bet.

Jayden’s fingers tapped lightly against the table as his expression grew darker.

The idea aligned with something he had already considered.

When they first planned to move against Elizabeth’s farm, he had already thought about whether the Hewitts would step in to support her. That was why he had quietly reached a preliminary understanding with Roman.

Seafarm Group would take the lead, while the Fifth Military would help handle any pressure coming from the First Military.

They had simply underestimated Elizabeth.

After a long pause, Jayden slowly raised his head. His voice was hoarse but firm. Then find a way to contact the Fifth Mistar the waters. And remember, keep your attitude humble.”
