The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Incoming Threat

Next was the Sword Light Formation, a formation used for farm security and counterattacks.

Finished

This formation was mainly set up beneath the farm’s boundaries and key pathways. It contained a sharp metallic energy. Once triggered, it caused intruders to feel intense pain, as if they were being cut and pierced by invisible blades, along with a strong mental shock. It was currently the most powerful weapon the farm openly displayed.

Elizabeth first incorporated the newly expanded area into the formation’s coverage. Then she carefully checked the sections that Rufus and his group had triggered, replenishing the consumed energy and reinforcing the structure of the formation.

This time, the intruders had only made a tentative attempt. But what if next time more people came, better equipped, or tried to break in from less–defended directions?

Thinking of this, Elizabeth frowned slightly. What happened today had served as a warning.

The Sword Light Formation worked well against ground intrusions. But what if they attacked from the air? What if they simply dropped bombs or launched strikes from above?

A sense of urgency immediately rose in her chest.

Today, the people from Seafarm Group had left in a hurry and had been frightened by the strange attack from the ground, so they had not thought of that possibility.

But what about next time?

Those big corporations had no real bottom line when it came to profit.

It seemed she needed to add another defensive formation.

A large–scale defensive system that could cover the entire farm, both above and below, capable of deflecting, weakening, or even neutralizing incoming attacks, had to be set up as soon as possible.

Ahh!

She was short on money.

She was very short on money.

She had to work even harder selling potatoes to make money!

Failshed

On the escaping spaceship, the atmosphere was unbearably tense.

Rufus had already changed into a spare outfit, but the scrapes on his face and his dark expression could not be hidden.

On the holographic screen in front of him, there was a blurry image of the farm’s edge, hastily captured earlier with a portable device.

“Investigate! Use every resource we have!” Rufus’s voice was ice–cold. “I want to know exactly what that defense mechanism was. An energy field? Biological toxins? Or some kind of ancient technology we don’t understand? And Elizabeth’s connection to the Hewitts. Could that mysterious weapon be related to them? I want everything dug up, no matter what it takes!”

“Yes, Mr. Blanton,” the assistant quickly noted.

Stephan rubbed his still–aching ankle, his face grim. “Whatever it is, this kind of dangerous and uncontrolled technology cannot be in the hands of a private farm owner. We need to report this to the authorities.”

Halle added bitterly, “Exactly! And her farming methods are definitely suspicious. We need to get our hands on the core data!”

Rufus closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

This time, he had lost a great deal of face. But it also made him realize that Elizabeth and her farm were far more valuable than they had originally estimated.

That mysterious defense that caused such intense pain, the soil that defied conventional understanding, and those incredibly effective crops… every single aspect was unusual.

“Cooperation… huh.” He muttered the word under his breath, but a cold, humorless smile pulled at his lips. The embarrassment in his eyes was quickly replaced by calculation.

“Looks like we need a different kind of cooperation.”

He straightened his back as if nothing had happened earlier. His voice regained the ruthless decisiveness of a Seafarm Group executive. “Compile all footage and data from this encounter immediately and prepare an urgent report for the board. Emphasize that the target, Elizabeth, and her assets not only rejected our reasonable business proposal but also showed hostility and uncontrolled aggression. The cultivation techniques and defensive methods she possesses already constitute a clear potential threat. Based on a full assessment, this target no longer qualifies for equal cooperation. Recommend adjusting strategy. Abandon acquisition and technical partnership plans. Proceed with a full and efficient asset takeover and risk control operation.”

He finished with a cold summary, his tone filled with undisguised ambition and cruelty. “If she won’t accept a toast, then we’ll take the whole table. The board will know what to do.”

The spaceship cut through the starry sky, speeding toward Seafarm Group. It carried not only humiliation and anger, but also deeper schemes and an approaching storm.

Before the first rays of artificial morning light fully illuminated the outline of the garbage mountains on Planet A001, the major platforms on Starnet had already erupted like a bomb dropped into deep water, stirring massive waves.

A series of in–depth investigative reports, simultaneously released by several influential media accounts such as “Stellar Observer” and “Frontline Health,” spread like a virus.

The headlines were more alarming than the last.

“Natural Delicacy or Toxic Wasteland? Exposing the Dark Truth Behind the Interstellar Tycoon’s Retro Farming!”
