Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1762

The explanation immediately clicked for several buyers.

Top-tier classification. The auction department was locked out.

It all made perfect sense. No wonder the auctioneer was completely blind sided earlier and couldn't provide a comprehensive background. It explained why the asset didn't even exist in their digital bidding system.

But some buyers remained skeptical. "Then why did it suddenly show up on the main stage?"

Kaelen's expression remained perfectly composed. "That is precisely what the ship is currently investigating."

"However, since Specimen Fourteen unexpectedly bypassed protocol and entered the public display, and because it is a highly volatile biological asset, we had to ensure every piece of public data was accurate. We had to guarantee the absolute safety of everyone in this room."

Kaelen turned slightly, extending a respectful hand toward Serena. "That is why we initiated an emergency third-party verification protocol, inviting The Panacea to conduct a live, public appraisal."

"We wanted to ensure that what our esteemed guests were looking at wasn't just a few lines on a forged document, but the unvarnished, verified truth."

Serena's eyelashes fluttered as a faint, knowing smirk touched her lips.

A few elegant sentences, and Kaelen had expertly reframed their desperate plea for her help into a calculated move for transparency, caution, and supreme customer care.

Project Zero-Transit certainly knew how to spin a narrative.

The explanation worked. The lingering hostility aimed at the ship visibly deflated.

After all, if the ship genuinely wanted to cover up a scandal, they would never have brought The Panacea out in front of the world's most powerful people to dissect the asset live.

But a voice still shouted from the floor. "What about that medic then? Why did he try to falsify the data?"

"Every individual and device linked to this incident is on total lockdown."

His voice dropped to a lethal register. "Project Zero-Transit will absolutely never shield anyone who violates our rules."

The buyers exchanged wide-eyed glances.

The picture was finally clear.

"So it really was an inside job?"

"He cleared it for boarding, and he tried to extract it tonight?"

"No wonder he faked the vitals crashing. He was terrified the appraisal would blow his cover!"
