Chapter 179 The Broadcast Message That Shook the Inner Circles

Finished

“I’ll notify Oliver and the others right away.” Trevor picked up his device first, wearing a distinctly smug expression, like someone very much enjoying the fact that his household had something priceless others could only envy.

Zaylee followed with elegant case, her lips curving slightly as she operated her device. “I should let Lily and the others know as well. They’ve been going on and on about those strawberries since last time.”

Shortly after, two messages–similar in content but each carrying a hint of deliberate bragging–were sent out from the Hewitt couple’s accounts, reaching their respective elite social circles.

Trevor posted, “Old friends, how were those strawberries, potatoes, and sweet potatoes I sent you last time? Not to brag, but my daughter–in–law Elizabeth will be setting up a stall tomorrow at 9 a.m. in Mercury Plaza, East District, Zone C. Same goods as before, plus strawberries. You all know the quality. They are limited, so if you want them, get there early. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you miss out.”

Meanwhile, Zaylee posted, “Ladies, I have a little treat tomorrow! My Eliza will be at Mercury Plaza at 9 a.m. selling strawberries, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. You’ve all already experienced the taste and effects, so I won’t say more. She’s set tiered pricing rules. Bulk buyers will pay more to make sure more people get access. Quite an interesting approach. If you want some, come early.”

First Military Residential District, Oliver’s office.

Oliver was reviewing a tactical deployment on a holographic battlefield when a notification from Trevor arrived.

He opened it casually, and the moment he read the contents, his tiger–like eyes widened. First disbelief, then explosive excitement.

He shot up so abruptly that he nearly knocked over the holographic tactical table.

“Honey! Honey!” he shouted as he bolted out of the office like a bullet rushing down the corridor while guards turned their heads in confusion.

In the garden hall, Melinda Tapia was patiently guiding her five–year–old granddaughter, Tiana Tapia, as she tuned a small violin modeled after ancient Earth designs.

Tiana was five this year, and she was as pretty as a doll. She was very interested in music.

“Grandma, is this note right?” Tiana asked softly, clumsily moving the bow.

“Yes, our Tiana is doing great. It’s almost perfect…” Melinda began, but was interrupted by rapid footsteps rushing in like a storm.

“Melinda! Good news! Big news!” Before he even arrived, Oliver’s voice boomed through the hall. He rushed in, face glowing with excitement, scooped his wife up, and spun her once in the air.

“Hey! You crazy old man! Put me down! You’ll scarface the child!” Melinda scolded while laughing, lightly hitting his shoulder.

Only then did he carefully set her down, still rubbing his hands together in excitement. “It’s the Commander! The Commander sent word! His daughter–in–law will be setting up a stall at Mercury Plaza omorrow at nine! Strawberries, potatoes, and sweet potatoes!”

‘Really?” Melinda’s eyes lit up instantly with delight.

She still vividly remembered the taste of those strawberries and the calming effect they had on her mental

power.

Little Tiana, hearing the word strawberries, immediately perked up. She grabbed her grandfather’s collar with her tiny hands. “Grandpa! Strawberries! Tiana likes strawberries! Tiana wants them!”

‘We’ll buy them! Of course, we’ll buy them!” Oliver’s heart melted completely. He rubbed his beard gently against her cheek and declared proudly, “Grandpa will buy you lots of strawberries tomorrow! You can eat until you’re full!”

Melinda quickly regained her composure, returning to her role as the household matriarch.

She turned to the steward standing nearby. “Arrange for someone to go to Mercury Plaza early tomorrow morning to queue. Let’s get a thousand of each.”

She considered their large family and felt the amount should be sufficient.
