“A seven day trip one way. Two weeks round trip,” she murmured. Then she suddenly turned and smiled at Tiffany. “Tiffany, while I’m gone, I’m leaving the farm in your hands.
Tiffany jerked her head up. “Ma’am, don’t tell me you’re planning to go in person?
Everyone else also looked at Elizabeth. None of them agreed with this idea
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. “Why? I can’t go?”
“Of course not!” all four of them shouted at the same time.
The perfect teamwork of their objection startled Elizabeth.
“Why are you all so worked up?”
Desmond’s face turned serious. “Ma’am, exploring a waste planet isn’t a joke. One energy rifle shot won’t kill those mutant beasts. One stomp from them could flatten a truck. If something happens to you, what happens to the farm?”
Melton nodded. “Desmond’s right. You should stay here and run things. Leave the exploration work to us.”
Even Skylar became serious for once. “Ma’am, I know you want to go, but not this time. Let us confirm the area is safe first, then you can inspect it later, okay?”
The way they spoke sounded like they were trying to calm down a stubborn child.
Tiffany stayed quiet, only staring at Elizabeth, but her eyes were more serious than ever.
Elizabeth looked at each of them one by one before suddenly smiling.
She didn’t argue right away. Instead, she slowly walked back to her seat, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water. She looked completely relaxed, like they were just chatting.
“Tiffany.” After setting down the cup, Elizabeth smiled at her again. “Let me ask you something.”
Tiffany froze for a second. “What?”
“Do you remember how I survived all alone on Planet A001 back then?”
Tiffany said nothing.
Elizabeth turned to Melton. “Melton, do you remember?”
Melton’s expression changed slightly.
Leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed, Elizabeth spoke calmly, like she was commenting on the weather.
“The Black Rats had more than 30 armed men controlling Planet A001 for years. They smeared my farm and attacked it behind m back. So what happened to them in the end?”
The office fell silent for a moment.

Elizabeth continued, “Later, Scarface’s gang had even more people than the Black Rats, and better equipment too. In the end, they got wiped out just the same.”
Tiffany opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Melton adjusted his glasses awkwardly.
The office became so quiet that they could hear the wind outside the window.
Desmond still frowned while standing there, but the look in his eyes had changed.
He had heard about those things before, but he had never personally asked Elizabeth about them.
Now that he heard her talk about it so calmly, he no longer felt as strongly against her going to the waste planet.
Skylar was shocked.
He knew Elizabeth was capable, but he had no idea she was this terrifying.
Taking down two gangs by herself?
Was that even something a normal person could do?
Seeing their expressions, Elizabeth smiled even wider.
She stood up and clapped her hands. “So? Do you still think I shouldn’t go explore the waste planet?”
Nobody answered.
“You can relax.” Elizabeth smiled. “If we run into something you can’t handle, maybe you’ll end up needing me to save you.”
After a long silence, Desmond finally spoke.
“Ma’am, you really insist on going?”
“Yes.”
“And there’s no way we can stop you?”
“Yes.”
Desmond took a deep breath before slowly letting it out.
“Fine. But I have one condition.”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. “What condition?”
Desmond looked at her seriously. “You follow orders. If there’s danger and I tell you to retreat, you retreat. If I tell you to hide, you hide. No showing off, no acting reckless, and absolutely no charging ahead alone.”
Elizabeth froze for a second. Seeing how nervous they all were, she could only laugh helplessly.
“Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
