Amelie returned to her grandparents and sat between them on the couch. Though she wanted to kiss them, she couldn’t do it because she was in Ben’s house.“Where is your fiance, Amelie?” Her grandfather, Calvin, asked. He had multiple moles on his face. “When are you going to introduce him to us?”“Ben went out to bring some food from the nearby restaurant,” Ivy said. “He will be back soon.”“My wife isn’t really feeling well,” Calvin said. “I don’t know if she can eat anything right now.”“Then I’ll make some buttermilk for her,” Ivy said and left in a hurry.“Buttermilk, huh…” Amelie’s grandmother, Fiona, smiled. “It’s been a while since I’ve tasted buttermilk. Can she add some spice to the buttermilk?”“I’ll go and tell her,” Jamie said and hurriedly left.Now, only Amelie and her grandparents were present there, so they could talk freely.Fiona was looking around. “This house isn’t big. Are you sure you can live in this house in the future?”“Grandma, Ben and I are not going to sta

The driver stopped the taxi in front of a small house in a narrow street, where two cars wouldn’t fit.“This is the house, sir,” the driver said. “You can just go and talk to the owner, but I doubt you’ll find organic watermelons now since it’s not summer.”“Ugh, I can find other fruits, right?”“Sure.”“I’m Ulmer. What’s your name?”“Roger Moonsley. It’s nice meeting you, sir.”“You, too.”“I’ll park the car at the intersection there,” Roger said. “I’ll wait there for you.”“Got it,” Ulmer then gave him a hundred dollar note before entering through the gate. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and it eased his mood after sitting in the car for so long.He knocked on the door twice.An old man in a tank top opened the door and looked at Ulmer from top to bottom. “Who the fuck are you?” He was holding a copper bottle in his hand.“I’m Ulmer. Roger Moonsley dropped me here,” Ulmer said.”He said you grow organic fruits and veggies. Will it be possible for you to deliver fruits and v

“This is where we use incense to ripen the bananas in 24 to 36 hours,” Nelson explained as Ulmer plucked a green banana. “Don’t peel it. Green ones don’t taste sweet at all.” He picked a decently ripened banana and put it in Ulmer’s hand.After tasting it, Ulmer nodded. “Mhm… it’s sweet.”“It’ll get much sweeter in two days,” Nelson said. “By that time it’ll end up in the customers’ hands. Everything you see in this place is grown as naturally as possible. The farmers I’ve partnered with don’t use chemicals at all.”“Then how do you get so much produce?” Ulmer couldn’t help but ask. “You can’t use manure for so many acres of farming land, right?”“Yes, we use all kinds of old techniques,” Nelson explained. “We put quartz crystals and copper rods in the farming lands. They boost production by electrifying the earth and keeping it nutrient rich. That’s just one of the techniques we use. I can’t tell you everything as we have to keep some things secret.”“I get it. I get it,” Ulmer finis

Ulmer also heard what the mayor said on the mobile, even though it wasn’t put on speaker.After the call ended, Nelson looked very nervous. “They didn’t even send us court notices. So, how can the government send officers to demolish this place?”“You said your granddaughter does blogging, right?” Ulmer said. “Why don’t you make her do a livestream and tell everyone what’s going on? If the stream goes viral, then you might be able to stop them.”Nelson’s eyes slightly widened. “I don’t think it’ll be of much help, but I’ll still do it.” He quickly went over to Nancy and talked to her.“More than 200 police huh…” Ulmer looked into the distance. “To move so many officers… the guy behind this is clearly powerful. A simple live stream might not help.” He then asked the restaurant manager for his mobile and then dialed a particular number. “Hello, is this Ririka?”“Yes, who is this?” Ririka Drevon, the heir of the Drevon Bank asked.“I’m Ulmer,” he replied. “Do you remember me?”“Ulmer?” s

Ulmer was returning home in the same taxi, driven by a guy named Roger.“You waited for so long. I wasn’t expecting you to do that,” Ulmer said.Roger casually smiled. “It’s my job, sir.”“Not everyone has such patience, though,” Ulmer opined.“To be frank, I wouldn’t have waited for as long as I did if you hadn’t given me the hundred dollars,” Roger responded. “So, I’ve decided to wait for you until it gets dark.”“It’s good that you stick to your principles,” Ulmer said. “I admire those who do things their way even when things aren’t going their way. It builds character, and I can see that in you.”“You are praising me too much, sir.”“Not at all,” Ulmer calmly stated. “You said you got married, right? I’m also married, so I can somewhat understand what you’re going through. You have to drive for hours every day and possibly even at night to put food on the table. That’s commendable. Your wife is lucky to have a hardworking person like you as her husband.”Roger felt humbled by his
