Chapter 321 Are You Planning to Go Back?
Finished
She stepped forward and spoke in a firm, steady voice so the crowd of curious onlookers could clearly hear her. “So why should I give you special treatment? Seafarm Group acted against me as one unit, so I’ll block Seafarm Group as one unit. Seems fair to me. Just look at today-so many customers traveled all the way here in person, and that’s thanks to Seafarm Group. Thinking about it now, I should probably thank you. You basically gave me free advertising and showed everyone that our farm’s food is worth flying across space to get!”
Her words dripped with sarcasm, exposing Seafarm Group’s shady moves and their failed plan.
Buzzing whispers started spreading through the crowd. Many customers waiting nearby glanced at Shawn and the others with looks that showed they finally understood and naked contempt.
“So it was the Seafarm Group behind all this!”
“That explains why shipping companies suddenly stopped working with Planet A001. That’s so despicable!”
“They couldn’t beat them fairly, so they played cheap tricks. That’s just pathetic!”
“They deserve to be blacklisted!”
Several Seafarm Group employees flushed red, then went pale, faces.

They had planned to slip into the farm quietly and gather information. Instead, they were exposed in public, accused in front of everyone, and turned into the target of ridicule and disgust.
“Y-you’re making false claims! You don’t have proof!” Ozzie still
tried to argue.
Elizabeth shrugged. “Whether it’s false or not, the people here can judge for themselves. And your own company knows the truth better than anyone. Anyway, the exit is that way. Take care. We won’t escort you out. Our little farm probably isn’t suitable for big shots like you.”
Ozzie glared at her, breathing hard. At last, he stomped his foot and forced out the words through tight teeth. “We’re leaving!”
He couldn’t stand staying there another second. He spun around and walked off quickly, like he was escaping danger.

As Seafarm Group employees left in shame, a quiet sense of satisfaction spread among the people near the
entrance.
Elizabeth, however, acted as if nothing unusual had happened. She tapped Fiona lighty on the shoulder. “Keep it moving”
Then she climbed back onto her hover bike and rode off at an easy pace to check the market area, as if those two earlier confrontations were just minor distractions.

Still, everyone understood that the matter wasn’t truly finished.
Frushed
The Fifth Military had been humiliated in public, and Seafarm Group’s actions were exposed. Neither side would likely forget that easily.
But for now, inside this oasis controlled by Elizabeth, her rules were the final word.
Her bold attitude and refusal to follow anyone else’s expectations made people there feel more cautious around her and her farm… and even more curious.
Driving her hover bike, Elizabeth slowly made her way along the edge of the temporary market.
The smell of fresh fruits and veggies blended with the busy chatter of the crowd, creating a scene that gave her a calm, quiet sense of happiness.
Her eyes moved from stall to stall, making sure the goods were set right, the workers looked fine, and the lines stayed neat. She smiled in satisfaction.
“Ms. Schofield! Over here!”
A cheerful, excited voice called from around Stall No. 2.
Elizabeth turned toward the voice and spotted Lilith waving at her hard. She hugged a basket that was half full of produce, bright red strawberries easy to see on top. Her cheeks were red from effort, and she looked thrilled.
Elizabeth smiled and guided her hover bike to a stop. “Lilith? Didn’t you say you wanted to pick everything yourself? Why are you already done? How was it?”

shone as she raised the basket proudly, as these by myself! They’re big and sweet! I also tried picking cucumbers and tomatoes, but the strawberry field was just too tempting. Once I crouched down there, I didn’t want to leave. Then I picked way too
and got too tired to visit the other fields.” many
She stuck out her tongue, looking a bit shy. Then, she quickly leaned closer again, lowering her voice with eager excitement. “Ms. Schofield, I saw watermelons in the melon field, too! They’re round and full, and the stripes look pretty dark already. Does that mean they’re almost ready?”
Elizabeth also felt excited. She nodded, a hint of anticipation showing in her eyes. “Yeah. I checked earlier today. Give it about three to five more days, and the first group will be ready to harvest.”
