The scene felt like a series of loud slaps hitting the faces of the Fifth Military’s officers, men who had always seen themselves as superior and were used to others backing down.

“Bang!”

A hot–tempered major general finally lost his patience and slammed his fist onto the table. The alloy surface let out a dull, straine sound.

“This is outrageous! A nobody running a farm on some backwater planet dares to treat bs like this out in the open? What does think we are? Easy targets?”

“Treat us differently?” A lieutenant general beside him let out a cold laugh, his voice squeezed out between clenched teeth. “This isn’t just different treatment. This is deliberate targeting. It’s blatant discrimination and humiliation. Who does she think she is? Just because she latched onto the Hewitts? Or because of those so–called miracle vegetables of hers?”

“Those ‘so–called vegetables‘?” Another brigadier general in charge of intelligence analysis shook his head with a bitter smile and pointed at the data on the report. “Gentlemen, no one dares call them that anymore. The First Military, the Fourth Military, and even the Second and Third Military. So many core members of major families have personally verified it, and the feedback is consistent. Even the sources we planted in those families confirmed it. The farm’s products really do have a strong positive effect on mental power damage. They might even have restorative properties. This isn’t a rumor. It’s a fact.”

“A fact?” The major general who had spoken first glared. “So what? Even if it works, does that give her the right to insult the Fifth Military like this? I think this is just another trick by the First Military. That old fox Trevor must be behind it. Using this farm as a front to pull in the other military divisions and isolate us. It’s obvious what they’re trying to do.”

That opinion immediately gained support.

“Exactly. It has to be a scheme by the First Military. That Elizabeth is just their puppet.”

“Healing mental power? It’s probably some secret biotech developed by the First Military, disguised as natural food to win people over and expand their influence.”

“The Hewitts really planned this well. Using a woman and a few crops to push us down? Not a chance.”

The room was filled with anger. The focus of their accusations quickly shifted from Elizabeth and the farm to the First Military and

Trevor.

They refused to admit that their own behavior, both online and in reality, had provoked the farm. They were even believe that someone they considered insignificant could possess such disruptive power.

Blaming everything on a “First Military conspiracy” and “pressure from the Hewitts” was far easier. it helped protect the maintain internal unity, and it fit their usual way of thinking.

But anger did not solve real problems:

The blacklist was real, and it was already affecting the Fifth Military’s interests and reputation

The senior officers themselves might not need the farm’s products right away, but what about the soldiers under the command?

What about those who were injured and in urgent need of recovery?

Chapter 389 Calculated Malice

What about the families and businesses closely tied to the Fifth Military?

Being excluded from access to such a potentially critical resource for the long term was a serious issue.

More importantly, this open and unapologetic exclusion had damaged the Fifth Military’s authority.

If even a farm dared to ignore them, what would other forces think?

Roman, who had remained silent the entire time, finally stopped tapping his fingers on the table.

He slowly raised his head. His deep–set eyes were sharp and cold as they swept across everyone in the room before settling on words “Oasis Farm” on the tactical display.

His voice was low and slightly hoarse, but it carried a chilling weight that instantly silenced the room. “Something that refuses fall in line… and refuses to be used by us…”
