Even Marcel, the one who called her here, couldn't stand her attitude and said stiffly, “Qbot is the product of
three years of grueling research by all our engineers and researchers. It is the only super Al system existing in
the world. It is unique. What you just said now is absolute rubbish!”
Marcel had contacted Laura because she had complained to him about
Loraine earlier, and when he saw Loraine today, he realized as well that she was not easy to deal with. Adding to
that, he worried that she might take Qbot away.
He felt it was a duty of his as a longstanding member of Bryant Group to interfere when the interest of the
company was threatened. So he called Laura.
However, he could not tolerate his lifetachievements being belittled and insulted this way.

Laura, on the other hand, still did not see a problem. “We simply need to restart it and update the system. It’s
not as serious as you claim!”
As he saw that Laura still did not understand the magnitude of the current problem and was acting indifferent,
Marcel breathed in deeply to control his anger before he spoke, his voice shrill and chilly.

“Qbot’s entire thinking program and every memory element are one of a kind. Qbot will be destroyed if restarted
because its intelligence will be erased. And we wouldn't be able to afford such consequences!”
Laura grew scared at the seriousness of his tone, and she said dully,
“Is it really that big of a deal? | had no idea it was so...”
Marcel shook his head helplessly. No words were needed to express the amount of disappointment portrayed on
his face.
As she saw this, Laura forced on a smile and tried to coax Qbot Like it was a child. “Con out, Qbot. | was
wrong. I'm so sorry. Don’t be upset, okay?”
There was no response from Qbot, and the technology walls around it remained dim, instead of the usual
Lighting from it.
Laura was embarrassed.
She still found it odd to treat Qbot like a person. To her, it was excessive to reduce herself to apologizing to an Al

However, with Marco and Marcel boring holes into her with their eyes, she had to patiently call for it multiple
times.
No matter how she tried, however, Qbot still remained unresponsive.
Marco frowned. Something was wrong. He called out to Qbot as well. But there was still no response.
Everyone's expression fell.
Immediately, Marco ordered, “Hurry! Check the system!”
Instantly, one of the researchers left to inspect every part of the system.
Laura slowly stepped back into a corner as the realization that something was wrong dawned on her.
“This has nothing to do with me! I didn’t touch a button or anything!”
