Chapter 452 Boss, Deduct My Salary!

“Fine,” Elizabeth relented at last. “You can celebrate for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, everyone gets back to work.”

“Got it!” Tiffany answered with a grin before turning around to relay the 5–minute order.

But 5 minutes passed… Then 10 minutes passed… And the crowd still showed no signs of dispersing.

Even when Elizabeth threatened to dock their wages, nobody moved.

At some point, Adam squeezed his way to the front. The old man’s face was blooming with smiles like a flower in full spring.

Stopp ng in front of Elizabeth, he suddenly cleared his throat loudly. “Boss! I’ve got a proposal!”

The crowd quieted instantly and turned toward him.

Adam straightened his back and spoke with utmost seriousness. “This time, our farm only won because of Boss and Desmond’s group. I’m just an old man without much ability, but I’ve got a salary. So I hereby announce, Boss can deduct my entire paycheck this month! Consider it my contribution to the farm and our shipping business.”

The crowd froze for a second. Then an even louder explosion of laughter and cheering erupted.

“Mr. Rose, you got guts!”

“Dock mine too!”

“Count me in!”

“Take my next month’s salary too while you’re at it!”

Voices overlapped noisily as everyone competed to volunteer their paychecks.

Elizabeth couldn’t help laughing at the ridiculous scene.

Waving them off irritably, she said, “Go on, get lost. Your boss here has money. I’m not taking your paltry scraps.”

“That won’t do!” Adam protested with complete seriousness. “Boss, this is our sincerity! You can’t reject the heartfelt support of your employees!”

“That’s right! You can’t reject it!”

“We’re volunteering!”

Elizabeth looked at him, then at the smiling, laughing faces surrounding her. Suddenly, warmth welled up inside her chest.

She inhaled quietly, suppressing the strange emotion before deliberately putting on a stern face. “Mr. Rose, are your wages too high? Want me to lower them a little?”

Adam instinctively shrank his neck, but the grin on his face didn’t fade in the slightest. “Th–That won’t be necessary, Boss…”

“Then hurry up and get back to work!” Elizabeth glared at him. “Has the irrigation channel even been fully drained yet? And here you are making noise.”

Right away! Going now!” Adam laughed as he ran off, only to turn back after a few steps and shout again, “Boss, I’m serious! Think about the salary deduction!”

“Get lost!”

The crowd burst into roaring laughter.

After Adam ran off, the others finally began dispersing slowly under Tiffany’s urging.

But as each person left, they couldn’t help turning back to glance at Elizabeth one more time. Every face carried the same expression. It was the proud, satisfied smile that only appeared after winning a battle.、

Elizabeth remained standing there, watching them return to the fields, the greenhouses, and the processing factories. The warmth inside her chest lingered for a long, long time.

Then she lifted her head and looked toward the empty sky.

There was nothing there anymore. Nothing at all.

But she knew… From today onward, there was now a place for her in that vast universe as well.

In the distance, Tiffany was chatting and laughing with Adam.

Desmond stood beside the ships with Melton and the others, carefully inspecting something.

Elizabeth understood immediately.

Most likely, they were still trying to figure out the miraculous defense system.

A defense system capable of reflecting attacks. Forget the Fifth Military. Even Desmond and the others, the people who actually piloted the ships, were utterly baffled by it.

After all, a defense mechanism this absurdly overpowered had never been heard of before.

But Elizabeth had no intention of explaining anything to them.

Let them figure it out themselves little by little.

Understanding the ships‘ combat capabilities through hands–on exploration would only benefit them during future missions.

And as for her… She was already impatient to head toward another untamed frontier planet and continue expanding her farm. The Fifth Military’s proposal was formally submitted to the Imperial Military Joint Council 3 days after the fleet’s retreat.

The wording was severe. Every sentence is sharp as a knife.

“Given that the Tycoon Farm on Planet A001 possesses unidentified military–grade technology, the destructive capability of said technology has already resulted in casualties among our personnel and severe equipment losses. Since this technology has not undergone evaluation by Imperial security authorities, it represents a major security risk. To ensure the safety of the Empire’s borders and prevent technological leakage or misuse by unlawful parties, the Fifth Military formally requests authorization from the Joint Council to establish a permanent military observation station on Planet A001 and implement a military supervision period over the farm lasting no less than 6 months.”
