The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Their Own Failure

“This… this place is the farm on Garbage Planet A001?” Julian blurted out, his voice packed with disbelief.

What they saw in front of them was full of life and booming, completely different from everything they had been told before leaving-a dead Garbage Planet, empty land, and a farm barely holding on.

Bruno quietly took a breath as well. His eyes swept across the entire area, then stopped on the robots in the distance steadily working the soil, and the bright notice board near the farm entrance.

A cold feeling crept up his spine. It looked like Zeke hadn’t been exaggerating when he said the rules here were strict.

And this farm didn’t look affected by the shipping blockade at all.

Business was crazy good!

On the other side, Shawn and the younger guys with him, along with the Seafarm Group employees, instantly darkened when they saw everything.

They knew very clearly how many connections the group had used, and how many deals and favors had been traded, just to convince several shipping companies to stop routes to Planet A001.

They had believed that move would trap this farm completely, or at least badly slow its growth.

But now?

Those people had simply opened a business right outside their doors!

Customers were flying their own spaceships across space just to come here and line up for goods.

That so-called blockade had turned into a massive joke.

Not only had it failed to choke the farm, but it had actually made it more popular. Shipping companies weren’t taking orders, yet customers still came in person. That only made the products look even more valuable.

What made them feel even worse was the number of crops being sold at the stalls. The selection was already shockingly complete.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and strawberries were just the basics. There were cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, and all kinds of fruit. Even from a distance, the produce looked so fresh that they could almost feel the strong life energy coming from it.

That was far beyond what they previously knew about Tycoon Boss’s farm, which was said to only grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and strawberries. It also meant Seafarm Group’s plan to keep its lead in natural crop technology and market share was being crushed at a terrifying speed by this unexpected rival.

“This is seriously creepy…” one Seafarm Group employee muttered through clenched teeth. “How did they grow so many kinds of crops? And all these customers… where did they even come from?”

Shawn’s face turned extremely dark.

Chapter 317 Their Own Failure

He was still a student and didn’t take part in the group’s operations

But his family owned major shares in Seafarm Group. Whatever happened to the company directly affected his family’s interests.

He stared at the busy stalls and the crowd buying like crazy, while thinking about the plans his father once talked about-plans that depended on crushing this farm. Now it all felt like a cruel joke, and a wave of helplessness rose in his chest.

A blockade?

It turned into bullshit!

Suppression?

The other side’s business only got stronger!

This time, Seafarm Group had clearly kicked a steel wall much harder than expected.

Shawn and the Seafarm Group employees stood there with pale faces, breathing heavily. They could almost hear each other grinding their teeth.

They kept staring at the blazing hot market area like they wanted to burn holes through the stalls and crowd with their eyes.

The blockade wall they built with huge effort didn’t suffocate the farm. Instead, it became a mocking mirror, showing their own failure and the other side’s success.

“…Let’s go. Shawn forced the words out through clenched teeth and turned toward the spaceship.

This place felt suffocating. One more glance, and he felt like his own intelligence was being insulted.

“Mr. Shawn, wait.” A slightly older mid-level manager grabbed his arm. His face looked even darker as he spoke in a low voice, “We’re already here, and the job isn’t finished. The higher-ups told us to find out what they’re hiding. We can only know the truth if we go inside, right?”

His voice dropped even lower at the end, carrying a hint of cunning.

Shawn stopped walking.

Right. His grandfather had secretly told him that if those products were really as amazing as rumored. then they had to get some no matter what.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, though his eyes stayed cold. “Fine. Let’s make contact. I want to see how they actually run this place.”

At the same time, the Fifth Military group led by Bruno and Julian finally recovered from their shock.

They exchanged looks, pushed down the strange feeling caused by the farm’s booming scene, and straightened themselves again.

“Let’s go book a reservation.” Bruno said quietly as he stepped forward toward Fiona’s desk.
