"A hundred times the price? That's over 300 million dollars! Who does he think he is to ask for such an outrageous amount?"

Amelia conveyed this message to Queenie.

"Why doesn't he just go rob a bank!" Queenie cursed.

"These hackers may sound fancy, but they're nothing but uncultured nerds. They're so greedy. The tenfold increase you offered has only fueled their greed, hence the skyrocketing prices," Queenie criticized Amelia's approach.

"I've looked into it. Someone offered three times the price before, but he turned it down. We offered ten times the price, so I thought he was sure to be tempted," Amelia explained.

"No! Just stick to ten times the price. If he refuses, find someone else! If we can't find anyone locally, we'll search abroad! I don't believe that our family can't afford a meer hacker," Queenie declared.
