A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 461: My Farm is Priceless!

After hearing the news from Yona about the people who claimed that they are from Bernel Kingdom and are planning on buying and coveting the Fertility Potion’s patent ownership and creation, Elaina has noticed various people buying on the farm directly with farm goods. Elaina is fine with them buying the goods directly, but Elaina couldn’t help but be suspicious. After all, most residents of their town and the kingdom’s citizens also know that her goods are for sale in bulk on the market, so there is no point in going directly to the farm just to buy some of the stock. Of course, there is the matter of the price, but that is too minor for the price in the market, and her own pricing is not too far from another.

And it seems that not only Elaina had noticed this matter as well, Curaj has noticed the curious stares of the men who are buying a bunch of farm goods as well as the resentful stares the men are giving him.

Elaina didn’t know about this matter until Curaj told her about it when Elaina helped him milk the Wild Cows and shear their thick wool.

"Miss Elaina, I have a bad feeling about those men lingering on the farm before. They may seem like they are buying from the farm with regular vegetables, but I can tell they aren’t local people. I have seen the locals before, and they are already used to my presence and yet those men have been throwing some glares my way. If anything, they are so ready to kick me off the farm if they have the power in here," Curaj told Elaina his observation.

"I can also see that as well. And don’t worry. You are an irreplaceable worker on the farm and one of my important subordinates. If they try something, I will be their enemy."

"It’s embarrassing for me to receive such treatment from you, boss. I am just a Halfling, there’s no need to give me that kind of treatment."

Elaina shook her head. "What are you saying? You are someone who has made great contributions to this farm and is also the one who protected the Princess who was staying here. Your qualifications are big enough that even a civilian should at least treat you with some respect."

Hearing that, Curaj smiled and silently agreed. Compared to the previous jobs he had worked with, excluding the pub work on Mr. Douglas, he felt freer and happier working on Elaina’s farm. Even if he is given a lot of money to leave the farm, he will not exchange it. After all, money is nothing when you are still discriminated against.

While Curaj is happy about it, Elaina silently agrees with Curaj. The men have been making suspicious movements. They might be doing something that seems to be normal at first but one does not need to be smart to even know that they are plotting something. Elaina has to prepare for the next move of these men and ensure that her farm will remain unharmed.

And just like what she expected, those men have indeed shown what they wanted in the first place. One day, after a whole week of new people buying goods on her farm straight, a group of men in black suits and someone who seems to be the one leading them arrived and are now requesting a meeting with Elaina.

He wears a white suit and looks like a formal man. He is a middle-aged man and seems to be around 40 to 50 years old of age. The way he moves is clear that he isn’t a noble or anything, but he acts like one and seems to be posing as one to fool others who are not familiar with nobility. But for Elaina, who has been seeing the nobility back when she was still part of the aristocracy, this fake acting is easy to identify. And yet, Elaina didn’t reveal or say anything.

Elaina is reluctant at first, but considering that they seemed to be here for something, Elaina didn’t want to back down so easily. She didn’t become a businesswoman for nothing.

"Good morning, you must be the owner of this farm. The farmer Elaina?" the man is looking around the farm and seemingly pleased with what he sees.

"That is me, what can I do for you?" Elaina asked, remaining composed.

"I am not going to make any deliberate loop on this topic, farmer Elaina. But seeing this farm, I like what I am seeing. Therefore, we would like you to sell your farm to us. We will buy this for 100,000 gold. I learned you bought this land cheap, so the amount should be quite enough for us to buy this land, right?"

He snapped his fingers, and one of the men dropped the bag of gold on the ground. Elaina glanced at it and frowned.

"This farm is not for sale. If you think you can just blind me with money, then get lost, I don’t easily get attracted to money that easily."

"Is that so? Then how about another hundred thousand gold?"

"No."

The eyebrows of a man twitch. "How about we double that? 400,000 gold. You can buy a bigger farm with this amount of gold, with spare to boot to build a mansion somewhere in the kingdom."

"Do you not understand a word I am saying? I told you this farm is not for sale. Period. So get out of my farm while I am still being nice."

However, the man is persistent. "A million gold. There is no way you can still say no to our money, right?"

Despite the offer, Elaina chuckled. "It seems you have a loose brain or something. I said it already. NOT. FOR. SALE! Now, leave before my fuse runs out."

The man frowned and clicked his tongue. Who would have thought he would be seeing someone who is not even blinded by gold, even by offers? But there is still one thing he has on his sleeve. No commoner will say no to this. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Fine, you leave me no choice," the man pulls out something from his coat and reveals a shiny gold emblem and shines it on Elaina’s face.

"By the power given to me by the King of Bernel Kingdom, I order you to sell this farm to us, whether you like it or not."

Perhaps they thought Elaina was still an easy opponent, so they decided to throw the authority of the aristocracy to her. However, for Elaina, that was just a brazen move.

"Foolish."

CLICK!

In one quick sweep, Elaina unsheathed her sword that was resting on her hip, sliced very fast, and sheathed it in the scabbard in just a split second.

The man who was still proudly showing the gold emblem before her was shocked when the emblem he was holding was split into two.

"My farm is priceless, and it cannot be bought with money or any riches in this world. So if you all still value your life, then leave before I think it is better to cut you all to pieces."

Elaina might have provoked the Bernel Kingdom, but based on how the king acts, Elaina has an idea of how he will react to this. She doubts another war from another kingdom will happen again. After all, this is now her problem.
