Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 677

Lilly blinked.

This was called asserting dominance. She understood that!

Lilly tilted her head and asked, "Uncle Max, is this what Daddy means by 'throwing one's weight around,' right?"

She did not know what her father was up to. He kept talking to Anthony recently as if he was moving houses.

But before they came here, her father had mentioned that they would assert dominance over Max.

Her father also mentioned that he would make a grand entrance to show them who had Max's back.

Lilly felt a bit of anticipation, but not too much, because she had a feeling that these fools might not know her dad...

Max took Lilly and sat down on the sofa.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Young exchanged glances.

Mr. Young asked, "Max, I called you here to ask, have you thought about our suggestion from two days ago?"

Max replied coldly, "I don't want a hundred million dollars."

Mr. Martin's heart sank upon hearing Mr. Young's question.

Mr. Martin secretly grew angry. It seemed like he did not know what he was getting himself into.

However, what Max said next left them stunned once again.

Max continued, "I can give you a virtual assistant, but it won't be Stacy. She has been with me for too long, so there's no room for negotiation."

Mr. Martin narrowed his eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Did you make another virtual assistant?"

Max nodded and said, "As I was researching Stacy, I created several prototypes. I have three virtual assistants—one is similar to Stacy, another has an ancient setting but lacks sufficient intelligence, and the remaining one is in the form of a child. It's still under development, but its intelligence level is comparable to that of a normal child."

Mr. Martin and Mr. Young were left shocked.

They were amazed by the fact that Max had not just one, but three hidden virtual assistants. They had already considered him skilled in creating virtual assistants, but this revelation showed that he had even more to offer. If he was willing to bring out three assistants, it meant he must have others as well.

Having three virtual assistants was already impressive, and if it was true, they knew they stood to make a substantial profit. Increasing the price to 200 million dollars seemed like a plausible option now.

Lilly sat quietly on the side, observing the greed in the adults' eyes. However, she remembered what Uncle Max told her—to simply sit there and not intervene. She would only make a move when the ghost was revealed.

So Lilly obediently remained seated. She noticed the candy on the table in front of the sofa, which was always prepared for her when she visited Uncle Max's company. Instinctively, she reached out to grab one but then hesitated. These candies were provided by the fools. What if they were poisoned? What if eating them would make her dumb?

She withdrew her hand, deciding not to take the candy.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Young observed this scene, and their worries suddenly dissipated. They had initially been concerned about Max's background, but seeing this child—who had not been exposed to the world was hesitant to take a candy, only to withdraw her hand, showed their misjudgment. It was a characteristic of someone from a small town who had yet to experience the larger world.

Consequently, they regained confidence that they were able to take advantage of Max's virtual assistant. Unbeknownst to them, they were stepping right into a trap because of greed.
