I Obtained a Super Farm in an Alternate Dimension! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Black Dragon Society

Phoenix knew that it was useless to say anything now. She had to find out what was going on.

At the moment, she still did not know who was causing trouble for Steven.

She also felt strange. Why would someone assassinate him?

Could it be that someone in the company had a conflict with Steven?

Or was it someone else who had a conflict with Steven?

She had to investigate this thoroughly!

Phoenix said apologetically, “I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”

“Okay, I look forward to your answer.” Steven did not say anything else.

Phoenix left. Colbert looked at the strawberries with reluctance.

As an appraiser, it was rare to see such good quality level-4 fruits!

Phoenix left the floating island and looked at the hunk with his head lowered. Then, she said coldly, “Jeffrey, do you know what you’re doing?”

Jeffrey lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He did not expect the assassination to fail.

Phoenix did not say anything. Instead, she brought him to the car.

The car drove to a skyscraper that reached the clouds. Looking up, there were more than 200 floors.

This was the scale of DD Food Company, which mainly purchases the food from the floating island.

After that, it was processed and packaged and sold at a very high price.

Phoenix was only a tiny member of the company. She mainly contacted the owner of the floating island and maintained a relationship with him.

She had an office of her own. So she took him in and closed the door.

Phoenix crossed her arms and asked, “What happened? Why did you try to assassinate him?”

Jeffrey was silent. He gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Phoenix said in a deep voice, “Do you know how much money we lost because of your actions?”

Jeffrey was still silent. He did not say a word.

Phoenix sneered, “Alright since you won’t say anything, I will send you to the police. You should know the consequences.”

“Miss Phoenix.” Jeffrey hurriedly raised his head and begged, “Please don’t send me to the police!”

“You dare to make demands after doing such a thing?”

“No… no.” Jeffrey was speechless.

“If you can tell me the reason, I can plead for you since you’ve been with me for five days.”

Jeffrey looked at her in surprise.

Phoenix said lightly, “Of course, if you don’t tell me, then you should be very clear about the consequences.”

Jeffrey pondered for a moment and said with difficulty, “I… I took money from someone else to assassinate him.”

“Who is it?” Phoenix said coldly.

“Mr. Marcus,” Jeffrey said.

“Who is it?”

“He is from the Black Dragon Society,” Jeffrey said again.

Phoenix frowned slightly. She obviously did not expect that this matter would be related to the Black Dragon Society.

She frowned. “Mr. Steven is related to the Black Dragon Society?”

Jeffrey said, “Mr. Steven seems to have argued with Mr. Marcus. So Marcus decided to teach him a lesson.”

Phoenix said in a deep voice, “Teaching him a lesson is killing people?”

Jeffrey lowered his head and said, “They asked me to stab him so that he can’t stay on the floating island anymore.”

Phoenix frowned. She finally understood that these people wanted Steven to leave the floating island.

The Black Dragon Association was a triad organization. If Steven came out, he definitely would not have a good ending.

She looked at Jeffrey and said in a deep voice, “Don’t you like working here? Why did you agree to such a request?”

“My… my wife is seriously ill. I need a level-4 fruit to cure her. I have no other way!”

“Level-4 fruit?” Phoenix sneered. “They will give you a level-4 fruit?”

“Yes.” Jeffrey nodded.

Phoenix sighed, “Do you know what level those strawberries were?”

Jeffrey shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“We were talking just now. Didn’t you hear?”

“I… I was too nervous. I didn’t notice.”

“I told you, those strawberries were a level 4 fruit.”

Jeffrey suddenly raised his head, his face full of shock.

It had only been a short while, but the other party had already planted a level-4 fruit.

That was way too fast!

Phoenix shook her head in disappointment. “Just now, if you had listened carefully to what we said, you would have discovered that a level-4 fruit was very easy to obtain.”

Jeffrey was extremely shocked, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Phoenix continued, “If you were a little more honest and told this matter to Mr. Steven, he would definitely reward you. He might even give you some level-4 fruits.”

Jeffrey’s body stiffened. He opened his mouth but could not say a word.

Phoenix said, “But you missed such a good opportunity and caused us to offend him.”

Jeffrey had never expected that things would turn out like this!

He really did not expect that those strawberries would be level-4 fruits!

“I will tell Mr. Steven about this. As for your punishment, I will discuss it with my superior. You should take care of yourself.”

Phoenix left the office, leaving Jeffrey alone.

At this moment, on the floating island.

Steven was not in a hurry to sell his strawberries. Instead, he was thinking about who would assassinate him.

In fact, he already had a candidate in mind, but he was not particularly sure.

Soon, Phoenix’s video invitation was sent.

“Mr. Steven, I’m sorry about this matter, but I’ve already investigated who is behind this.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s someone from the Black Dragon Association. His name is Marcus.”

“It’s him!”

Phoenix was slightly stunned and asked, “I heard that there seems to be a conflict between the two of you, right?”

Steven chuckled and said, “There is such a thing, but I didn’t expect that he would actually pay someone to assassinate me.”

Phoenix said, “The other party intends to stab you and force you to leave the floating island.”

Steven replied, “When I get outside, it’s their people waiting for me. They won’t let me off easily.”

Phoenix said apologetically, “No matter what the reason is, our audit staff is not strict enough. So I’m here to apologize to you.”

Steven nodded.

Phoenix said hurriedly, “I hope that this matter won’t affect our cooperation.”

Steven looked at the woman in the video and said sincerely, “Okay, help me buy more things.”

“Yes, tell me. I’ll go buy them right away.”

Of course, Steven did not stand on ceremony and sent over some more lists.

When Phoenix saw that there was a ‘sanitary pad’ on it, she felt incredulous.

But she did not dare to ask any more questions. After all, she could not afford to provoke Steven now.

If she made Mr. Steven angry, this cooperation really could not succeed.

“Okay, I’ll buy it for you right away. We won’t charge any fees for the seeds and items. So take it as our apology.”

Steven thought she was very smart. So he smiled and said, “It’s up to you.”
