Chapter 132 - 130: Discuss
The Base Commander had delivered the items to her, and as for how they negotiated, Li Pan was not interested. As long as the Zhang Family no longer troubled her, that was enough.
She had found justice on her own. She could understand the difficulties of the Base Commander. As the administrator of a city, he had to take care of various aspects, protect the citizens and the community’s food basket project, and ensure everyone was fed and clothed, living a good life.
He could not afford to offend the entire Zone 13 just for Li Pan alone. This zone had its value.
Zone 13 wasn’t only home to the rich and powerful Zhang Family with connections. Some relationships were intricately intertwined and could not be treated with simple and crude measures.
The Base Commander also had it tough, stuck in the middle like the filling of a sandwich, struggling on both ends. He still needed to exchange as many good resources as possible for the civilians and superpower users, and foster the next generation to stand up, ensuring succession. Everyone saw his hardships.
Getting some compensation back was also the Base Commander’s way of apologizing, as he had failed to secure justice for her assassination attempt. The Base Commander felt even worse about it than she did.
Life can’t always be perfect in every way.
Li Pan transplanted the iron stone orchid to the forest section of No. 8 Farm, took care of the Spirit Plants, and found that during the previous rains and thunderstorms, the Thunder Spirit Fruit had absorbed a lot of lightning and had grown rapidly, becoming a towering tree.
This tree grew exceptionally tall, probably to absorb lightning. During the last rain, it absorbed a strong energy but did not bear fruit.
However, Li Pan was not in a hurry and still took great care of it, playing with the Spirit Plants every day.
