The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Calculated Malice

The scene felt like a series of loud slaps hitting the faces of the Fifth Military’s officers, men who had always seen themselves as superior and were used to others backing down.

“Hang

A hot-tempered major general finally lost his patience and slammed his fist onto the table. The alloy surface let out a dull, strained sound

“This is outrageous! A nobody running a farm on some backwater planet dares to treat us like this out in the open? What does she think we are? Easy targets?”

“Treat us differently? A lieutenant general beside him let out a cold laugh, his voice squeezed out between clenched teeth. “This isn’t just different treatment. This is deliberate targeting. It’s blatant discrimination and humiliation. Who does she think she is? Just because she latched onto the Hewitts? Or because of those so-called miracle vegetables of hers?”

“Those so-called vegetables?” Another brigadier general in charge of intelligence analysis shook his head with a bitter smile and pointed at the data on the report. “Gentlemen, no one dares call them that anymore. The First Military, the Fourth Military, and even the Second and Third Military. So many core members of major families have personally verified it, and the feedback is consistent. Even the sources we planted in those families confirmed it. The farm’s products really do have a strong positive effect on mental power damage. They might even have restorative properties. This isn’t a rumor. It’s a fact.”

“A fact?” The major general who had spoken first glared. “So what? Even if it works, does that give her the right to insult the Fifth Military like this? I think this is just another trick by the First Military. That old fox Trevor must be behind it. Using this farm as a front to pull in the other military divisions and isolate us. It’s obvious what they’re trying to do.”

That opinion immediately gained support.

“Exactly. It has to be a scheme by the First Military. That Elizabeth is just their puppet.”

“Healing mental power? It’s probably some secret biotech developed by the First Military, disguised as natural food to win people over and expand their influence.”

“The Hewitts really planned this well. Using a woman and a few crops to push us down? Not a chance.”

The room was filled with anger. The focus of their accusations quickly shifted from Elizabeth and the farm to the First Military and Trevor.

They refused to admit that their own behavior, both online and in reality, had provoked the farm. They were even less willing to believe that someone they considered insignificant could possess such disruptive power.

Blaming everything on a “First Military conspiracy” and “pressure from the Hewitts” was far easier. It helped protect their pride and maintain internal unity, and it fit their usual way of thinking.

But anger did not solve real problems.

The blacklist was real, and it was already affecting the Fifth Military’s interests and reputation.
