Bethany smiled. “They’re cheap–only 500 stellar coins each.”
Everyone froze in shock.
“What? Just 500 stellar coins?”
“They taste better than Seafarm Group’s and cost 100 times less?! No way!”
“Come on! Let’s hurry to Mercury Plaza!”
Someone shouted, and the crowd rushed off right away.

The people who had been crowding around Seafarm Group’s premium strawberry counter disappeared fast, with more than half running away.
Even shoppers from other areas heard what happened and followed the crowd out of curiosity.
In just a few moments, the once lively and profitable Seafarm Select Supermarket felt oddly quiet. Only few shoppers stayed–either they didn’t know what happened or didn’t care about the price gap.
Vivian and her friends were left standing there, their faces hot as they gave each other awkward looks.
They kept staring at the fragrant strawberries in Rosalie’s hands and realized their pride wasn’t worth it
anymore.
Vivian forced a smile. “Rosalie, can we try one too? We’ll pay double–1,000 stellar coins for each! We just want to know if they’re really that good.”
Compared to the 50,000–coin premium strawberries, 1,000 coins was nothing.
The others quickly agreed.
Rosalie looked at them for a moment, then decided to let it go. She took out several strawberries and passe them around. “Go ahead. No need to pay. We’re classmates.”
Vivian and the others grabbed the strawberries and stuffed them into their mouths right away.
A second later, their faces changed just like the pretty girl’s earlier–full of shock, amazement, and sudden understanding of how strawberries were really supposed to taste.
“Oh, my god…”
“This is just too…”
“Quick! Let’s head to Mercury Plaza!”
They didn’t even say goodbye to Hannah. They dropped their unpaid Seafarm premium strawberries on the counter and rushed out, running toward Mercury Plaza.
In moments, the once noisy counter was left with only Hannah, whose face paled in embarrassment, and Zachary, who frowned and looked deep in thought.

Hannah bit her lip until it hurt. She couldn’t make herself ask Rosalie–the same girl she had mocke strawberry. She just couldn’t do it.
But the sweet smell still in the air and the sight of everyone leaving made her feel restless and upset.
Zachary noticed how uncomfortable she was and stepped forward. He gave Rosalie a polite smile. “R I’m sorry. Hannah spoke without thinking earlier. Would you mind letting us try one? We’ll pay for it.
Rosalie looked at them.
She still didn’t like Hannah’s attitude from before, but Zachary seemed sincere.
Also, their families had some connection. She didn’t want to ruin things completely. She took two strawberries from the box and handed them over. “Here. No need to pay. My treat.”
Zachary thanked her, took the strawberries, handed one to Hannah, and kept the other.
They looked at each other, then took a bite.
Right away, a deep wave of sweetness and fragrance filled their mouths.
The taste was bright, pure, and natural, taking over their taste buds in just one bite.
Compared to this, Seafarm Group’s so–called premium strawberries suddenly felt weak and almost fake with a slight bitter taste left behind.
Even more surprising, after swallowing, they felt a burst of energy. It was like their minds were being refreshed, making them almost gasp.
Hannah froze, her face turning redder as the truth hit her hard.
Zachary was just as shocked.
He slowly enjoyed the aftertaste, his eyes lighting up with strong interest.
He took a breath to calm himself and said, “Hannah, these strawberries are really something special. Shou we go check it out?”
