Only a hundred units were in existence, each with a jaw-dropping price tag of 6 million!
“Here’s the 100th AI gaming humanoid,” the sales assistant said, donning gloves to lift a slim chip from the table.
“Just plug this into a computer, and you’re good to go. It even links up with your phone. Just a quick scan, and it’ll settle into your phone, keeping its owner company.”
Hannah nodded her approval. While she had no special interest in gaming, she wouldn’t be stingy when it came to Edwin.
“By card.”
“I’ll take that gaming humanoid!”
As she was finalizing her purchase, Hannah’s brows furrowed. She turned to see a face she recognized.
Valery, parading around with an older man on her arm, shot Hannah a smug glance.
“Well, well, look who’s here!”
Hannah shot back, her voice dripping with irony, “Switched out your partner, have you?”
Just as predicted, Valery’s face soured. In her high heels, she marched up to the sales assistant and flashed a black credit card.
“I want the last gaming android, and I’ll give you 7 million for it”
“This isn’t an auction house. Who do you think you are, making bids?”
Hannah’s eyebrows twitched in annoyance.
Recently attached to a prosperous businessman, Valery sneered at Hannah, “Money talks. Can you top my offer? That gaming humanoid is as good as mine. No one can take it away from me!”
Layne Cartwright, on his rounds to check the staff, noticed the commotion. With a frown, he beckoned a staff member over.
“What’s going on there?”

“A customer is causing a scene. The final gaming humanoid was already reserved by that woman, but this other customer wants to pay an extra million to snatch it.”
Layne glanced at Hannah, who was garbed in a black dress, radiating charm. He signaled for the staff to back off and approached the arguing pair.
Choosing to ignore Valery, Hannah turned to the sales assistant.
“I apologize for the unpleasantness. Let’s wrap this up. I’ll pay now.”
Valery’s voice scaled up in agitation.
“Are you deaf? I said I want it! Listen to me, sales assistant. If you don’t sell it to me, your job’s on the line the second I leave this store!”
The sales assistant’s face paled, clearly torn and on the brink of tears.
