Chapter 141: Black Market Part 2

Yuki and Trisha looked at each other then back at Tina. Yuki couldn't help but ask."Mom, are we really here to buy this stuff?"

"Mm… We have to be sure that nothing will happen. And I, for one, do not want to risk you two getting hurt ever again." Tina answered. Yuki hadn't thought of that since she wasn't able to move around freely, but now that she has, she couldn't deny that this was a very good idea.

They took an elevator to the 7th floor. When they got off, they were met with many heavily armed guards standing everywhere. This floor had the most expensive items. They were items that could not be found anywhere else except on the black market. "This way." The lady in red said as she walked towards a certain section of the floor. "All our top weapons and defensive items are in this section. We have everything from guns, kinetic barriers, and even A.I. Guards that can not be bought. They are highly intelligent and are masters of many schools of fighting styles and come with an array of weapons."

"Thank you." Tina said with a smile as she began looking around. 

Yuki's ears perked up when she heard about the A.I. guards. "Miss, can you tell me more about these guards?"

The woman turned and looked at the young girl and smiled: "Sure can. Follow me. They are over here." 

Yuki looked at Tina, who nodded for her to go ahead, and only then did Yuki have Trisha push her over. What they were met with did not look like your average A.I. Although Anthony looked realistic and was hard to distinguish from a real human, these guards were on a whole different level. The woman handed Trisha a book that had all the information for these A.I.s before saying: "Read through this. As this is the 7th floor, all items are guaranteed, or we will completely refund your money. I will go back to helping your mother. Just call me if you need me."

"Thank you."  Yuki gave her thanks and nodded her head at the woman before taking a look at the information that Trisha was holding in front of her to read. 

"So these things have an internal area kinetic barrier, they know advanced medical procedures and are proficient in martial arts, and weapons use. They run on a fusion core, so they will never need charging and have a newly developed quantum time continuum neural network. Some of these things I have never even heard about before. What about you, Trisha?" Yuki read through the complicated list and couldn't make heads or tails of some of the things in there.

"I am not sure either, but… From what I am reading, they seem to be better than anything you can find on the open market." Trisha was amazed by some of the skills stated in the information. The A.I. could be used to hack people's neural interfaces and plant suggestions into a human's mind. They were a little over the top, but just this alone made them unsellable on the open market.

"What do you think? The price tag is five hundred million crowns. We could buy two, one for the two of us and one for mom." Yuki wanted to make sure her mother was protected as well. Although she had Anthony, he was only good for normal tasks and not meant for guarding or fighting.

"I think so as well. Especially if we will be going back to college, it would be good to have someone else beside you just in case I can not be at your side all the time." Trisha felt maybe getting one of these would be a good idea since there may be times when she can not be there for Yuki, and during those times, the A.I. could take care of Yuki in her stead.

"Then let's get three then… This way, if something happens to you when I am not around, the A.I. can protect you. I just want everyone safe." Yuki knew the cost was high, but to protect her loved ones, she did not mind spending the money.

"Are you sure? That is one and a half billion crowns..." Trisha felt that maybe the cost was a bit too much to be buying three.

"Mmm. It's fine. I want everyone to have their own guard. But… We should get three swords as well. With guards that fight this good, we can have them train us as well. Although I can not train just yet, you still can, and it will strengthen your combat ability in game."  Yuki felt having such good guards will be good for more than just guarding but also for training as well. "Now that I think about i, let's get four guards, one for the house as well."

"Yuki… is that really needed? We have some of the best defenses in the world already." Trisha was thinking Yuki was going a little over now. She wondered why Yuki was spending her money like this.

"It's fine. Trisha, I can make this money back in just a few days or less. So it is no big deal. Plus, after this, I have nothing else to buy. And the two of us would never be able to spend all the money we have outside of a place like this. So unless you are going to come back sometime soon to spend a few billion more here, then I think we should be okay." Yuki teased. 

Trisha pursed her lips as she reached down and pinched Yuki's cheeks. "This mouth of yours."

Yuki smiled cheekily as Trisha pinched her cheeks. The scene between the two was rather cute. The woman in red saw the two joking around and smiled at the heartwarming scene. She looked at Tina and said: "Your daughters are very cute."

"That they are. The one in the wheelchair is my actual daughter while the other is her fiancee. They make a cute pair."
