Chapter 540 Let’s Contact Boss First

The only response he got from Clara’s group was a few icy stares, as if they were looking at garbage.

“Ugh!” Olivia spat. “Bow to you? You think you’re worth that? A trash like you only climbed to the top by setting up your own teammates. You should rot in a garbage dump!”

“Nathaniel, cut the disgusting performance. Black Panther Squad? It’s been rotten to the core for ages. As for Seafarm Group? Tell them to bring it on. Guys, let’s go!” Clara said, her voice terrifyingly calm, though a storm seemed to be raging beneath it.

Clara didn’t spare Nathaniel’s twisted face another look. She simply turned around and walked off.

Olivia, Rocket, Felix, and Sharpie followed right behind her, not even bothering to spare him another glance.

“You… You people don’t know what’s good for you! Just wait until you’re starving!” Nathaniel was so furious that he practically jumped in place, cursing at their backs as they walked away.

Once they returned to the spaceship, the waste planet’s wind and sand were sealed outside, along with Nathaniel’s shouting. Only then did the anxiety everyone had been suppressing surface all at once.

“Boss! Is that bastard telling the truth?” Olivia quickly repeated everything Nathaniel had said, her voice sharp with panic. “Did Seafarm Group really mobilize all the mercenaries? Then what are we supposed to do?”

“There’s a 90% chance it’s true.” Desmond dropped into the main control seat, his expression dark as his fingers flew across the holographic screen. “Houndnet is packed with Seafarm Group’s bounty announcement. The reward has been raised by 50%! Permanently!”

He stared at the glaring red announcement on the screen, then at the rapidly growing list of accepted missions beneath it, and his

heart sank.

Olivia slammed her fist into the cabin wall. “Damn it! Seafarm Group is trying to wipe us out! We’ve checked several places these past few days, and our haul was already way lower than usual. Every hunting team we ran into treated us like thieves! So this is what was going on!”

Clara pulled up the star map, her voice tight with concern. “Ashen Wasteland, Venomfang Valley, Rust Belt… Almost every known Cluckoo Chicken activity zone has either been marked as Seafarm Group’s exclusive hunting area or clear and occupied by large teams. Even the backup hunting spots we planned before are showing heavy activity from unfamiliar ships.”

“The farm is scheduled to start selling eggs next week!” Desmond was starting to panic, too.

He had no idea how much stock the farm still had, but the small batch they’d brought back last time definitely wouldn’t be enough for sales.

“With what we saved before, plus what we’ve hunted these past few days, we can only last one or two days at most) if we can’t keep the egg supply going, customers will have no choice but to go back to Seafarm Group! This move is vicious?

Hearing that, Clara made up her mind immediately. “Contact Boss first!”

The communication request went through quickly, and Elizabeth’s upper–body hologram appeared in the cabin.

She seemed to be in a bright, clean place. A few green plant racks were faintly visible behind her, standing in stark contrast to the

barren waste planet outside.

“Desmond? Is the mission going smoothly? Are you heading back already?” Elizabeth asked, sounding a little puzzled.

“Boss! We’ve got a major problem!” Desmond wasted no time on pleasantries. He quickly explained what Nathaniel had told them. as well as everything they’d found on Houndnet

“Seafarm Group is offering a permanent bounty 50% above market price, and they’ve basically taken control of almost every registered mercenary team in the Outer Sector!

“They’re sweeping through every waste planet for Cluckoo Chickens, and they’ve signed exclusive agreements to keep all the prey from reaching us! They’re trying to cut off our egg supply completely! If they really pull this off, most of our customers will have no choice but to go back to them.”

On the other end of the call, Elizabeth listened to Desmond’s worried report, but she didn’t look anxious or angry. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, and a deeply confused look appeared on her face.

“Uh…” Elizabeth sounded genuinely puzzled. “Desmond, you’re saying… the Seafarm Group spent an astronomical amount of money to monopolize all the mercenary teams, just to stop them from working with us?”

“Yes, Boss!” Olivia rushed to answer, so anxious she looked like she might jump. “They’re trying to make sure no hunting team will supply us! They want us to be unable to find even a single egg!
