Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1743

It was as if the escalating outrage from the crowd had absolutely nothing to do with her.

She was merely a hired medical consultant, paid by the ship to appraise an asset.

As for the identity of the supplier, that was naturally a problem for the ship's management to handle.

By now, the crushing weight of the crowd's attention was squarely on Project Zero-Transit's staff.

The Lead Auctioneer and Director Kaelen exchanged panicked, helpless glances.

They both knew this situation was spiraling entirely out of control.

Specimen Seven was, indeed, properly registered cargo.

The transaction logs were sitting right in the ship's database.

But the insurmountable problem was Project Zero-Transit's ironclad non-disclosure policy.

It didn't matter who the client was, what they were buying, or what they were selling.

As long as they adhered to the ship's trading protocols, client identities were classified at the highest level of absolute secrecy.

That was the foundational rule that allowed them to operate in the high seas and maintain their flawless reputation all these years.

They couldn't just casually dox a client and burn their operations to the ground simply because a crowd of angry buyers demanded it.

Doing so would instantly annihilate the years of trust Project Zero-Transit had meticulously built.

Cold sweat beaded down Director Kaelen's temples. He adjusted his earpiece, hopelessly sending yet another frantic request to The Nexus. “Commodore, we need directives down here immediately. The buyers are demanding to speak with the supplier for Specimen Seven. Do we have authorization to—”

Only dead silence echoed in his earpiece.

There was no response whatsoever.

Director Kaelen's stomach dropped.

But the rabid buyers staring him down weren't going to give him the luxury of waiting for orders.

In fact, that exact ironclad secrecy was the only reason most of them conducted business here.

If the ship buckled and sold out Specimen Seven's client today, what was stopping them from selling out their own identities tomorrow?

So, despite their burning frustration, it was incredibly difficult to openly attack the ship over its core policy.

Sensing the slight hesitation in the room, Director Kaelen breathed a microscopic sigh of relief and immediately seized the momentum. “As for Specimen Fourteen, since it classifies as an extreme-tier living asset, its documentation is similarly locked behind the highest level of trade privacy, mandating full compliance with the ship's standard procedures.”

“We invited Ms. Panacea to conduct this public appraisal solely to provide you with a clearer, hands-on understanding of this extraordinary asset, rather than forcing you to bid blindly based on a sterile data sheet.”

“The ship entirely sympathizes with your concerns, but when it comes to the privacy of our suppliers, we respectfully ask for your understanding.”

It was a flawlessly crafted PR spin, airtight and entirely reasonable.

He had smoothly looped Specimen Fourteen right into Project Zero-Transit's sacred confidentiality safety net.

On the surface, he made it sound like just another routine, high-end transaction.
