The moment ten, a hundred, or even more Obsidian Augments hit the global stage, the entire nature of modern warfare would be rewritten.
Someone couldn't help but voice their mounting dread. "If these Obsidian Augments can truly be mass-produced, what exactly is the endgame of the faction behind them?"
That question struck a nerve, especially with the buyers who acted as proxies for massive global conglomerates or even national intelligence agencies.
Their most burning curiosity now centered entirely on the manufacturer's true motive.
Were they doing this simply to sell them for profit?
Or were they stockpiling them to forge that rumored Eternal Phalanx for themselves?
If it was the latter...
Who exactly was that army meant to destroy?
They could afford to buy one Specimen Fourteen today.
But no one could guarantee that tomorrow, an entirely different battalion of Obsidian Augments wouldn't show up on their home turf, controlled by an enemy!
In a flash, the eyes tracking The Apex Bio-Transfer Pod shifted from raw greed to blatant, paranoid vigilance.
"Ms. Panacea is right," someone called out. "These are questions that must be answered by the supplier."
A professor from Aurelius Bio-Genetics turned sharply toward the auction manager standing at the side of the stage. "Since Specimen Seven was already reserved by a buyer from Whitecliffe Harbor, the transaction paperwork must be fully documented, correct?"
Director Silas Kaelen's eyelid twitched violently.
Before he could even open his mouth, the man continued pressing. “Ms. Panacea has just confirmed that Specimen Seven and Specimen Fourteen belong to the exact same evolutionary line of human specimens."
“Shouldn't Project Zero-Transit be contacting the supplier of Specimen Seven?”
"At the very least, drag them out here to explain exactly what Specimen Fourteen is, how many more of these things they've built, and what they plan to do with them!"
The moment the Aurelius professor finished his demand, a wave of fierce agreement swept through the crowd.
"Exactly! Since Specimen Seven was officially registered as a specialized asset on Project Zero-Transit, the ship's management absolutely knows the identity of the shadow faction behind it."
"If both human specimens come from the identical framework, the ship has to know exactly who built Specimen Fourteen."
"Damn right. The cargo was brought aboard Project Zero-Transit; there is no way this ship can't contact the original supplier."
"This thing is sitting on the auction block right now, meant to be sold to
us. We have the absolute right to know who the hell we're doing business with
"If the ship is in direct contact with the manufacturer, why force Ms. Panacea to
stand up there and field our questions?"
Right on cue, the influential figures
sitting up in the VIP suites began voicing their demands one by one. "We aren't just looking to buy a human specimen with an unknown origin."

"If this faction has the capability to manufacture a monstrosity like this, tell them to
step into the light and face us."
More and more furious buyers pivoted their wrath directly toward the ship's administration.
Some genuinely wanted to negotiate a broader partnership, while others desperately needed to assess the threat level.
But all of them were desperate to uncover the terrifying, world-altering faction lurking in their blind spot.
After all, this involved the future survival and financial security of everyone in the
room.
The relentless interrogation
regarding Specimen Fourteen itself had. dmasterfully pivoted directly onto the controlling it.

This was exactly Serena's endgame.
Obsidian Sun could forget about hiding in the dark after tonight.
The uproar from the crowd was building into a deafening crescendo. "Bring the supplier out!"
"If you have the paperwork for Specimen Seven, then pull the records and find them!"
"With this many questions on the line, someone has to give us a straight answer!"
Standing off to the side, Director Kaelen felt his polished customer-service smile crumbling.
The Lead Auctioneer was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Serena said absolutely nothing.
She simply lowered her eyes and leisurely turned to the next page of the verification logs in front of her.
