Chapter 47 - Shen Xia Begins To Display Her Strength

Shen Xia stared at these two old men in disbelief. She held her head, trying to take in this situation. "Let me get this straight. You want to watch me build robots, and in return, you will give me everything?"

"Yes!" Both old men nodded their heads in unison.

"What about your families?" Shen Xia really wanted to know if these two old men had a few screws loose!

"What families!? They know nothing! You will be our sole heir. Our families never wanted anything to do with the advancement of humankind. We have been searching for a few years for the one we wanted to take over our companies, and now you have appeared. So do not think we are just making this decision on a whim. By no means are we doing that." Old Yun explained.

Shen Xia scratched her head as she fell into deep thought. She was about to give her answer when a group of people came walking up to her booth. "Is this the booth?"

"Yes, it is. She is obviously unable to make such a robot herself, so it can be determined that third high school outsourced their project to a major company and tried to pass it off as their own. Such a thing should not be allowed at a country wide event like this. I think third high school should be banned from being able to attend this exhibition ever again!" Han Mu answered righteously.

"Han Mu, you bastard! You know you are going to lose to my third high school, so you are trying to slander us!" Quan He yelled out. He was not going to take this sitting down. 

"Calm down, everyone." One of the people who came with Han Mu stepped in. He was the lead judge for the exhibition. "First, let's take a look at, the data and we can find out if they were truly cheating or not."  He turned to Quan He and smiled as he said: "Please hand over all the code for this robot so we can examine it and see if it is truly written by a major company or not."

"Are you an idiot?" A small but calm voice came from behind Quan He. All eyes turned to the little girl playing with the robot dog. 

"Excuse me?" The lead judge was not sure if he heard Shen Xia or not. He did not think there would be a single person here who would go against what he had to say as he was the lead judge. Most would kiss up to him in order to get a few extra points on their judging.

"So you are a deaf idiot…. That explains a lot..." Shen Xia wondered if this man realized what he was asking was basically him trying to steal all her hard work without having to pay for it. He could make millions off just a few lines of code alone.

Old Mo and Old Yun both covered their mouths, trying not to laugh. They were liking this little girl more and more. But the lead judge was not laughing at all. "You dare say such things to your elders like that!? Do you not want to win this competition!?"

Shen Xia scooped up her Spot into her arms and stood up. She walked out from behind the table and towards the lead judge. With each step, she asked a single question. "Do you see how this my Spot acts? Do you see how he is able to act like a real dog? Why would I be so dumb to give away my hard work to a man who is only looking to gain fame for himself? I can see the greed in your eyes, so tell me, why should I do that?" 

Shen Xia's anger started to well up. She began to release her fox charm but only on the lead judge. The lead judge's eyes began to dim as she came to a stop in front of him. She then asked him a  simple question: "How much were you going to sell my work for and to whom?"

"I was going to sell it for ten million and to first high school principal Han Mu." The lead judge responded without hesitation.

"You! You bastard, what are you saying!?" Han Mu started to sweat. He couldn't believe he was just outed like that!

"Oh? So he bribed you, is that right?" Shen Xia asked her next question. She would not let things go so easily.

"Yes. I was blinded by money." The lead judge replied.

"And bribing a judge is considered a permanent ban from the exhibition, is it not?" Shen Xia had no idea about the rules, but since things were going in her favor, she figured she might as well go all the way.

"Yes… First high school from this day forward will be banned from the robotics exhibition. They will never be able to participate in one again." The lead judge's words caused a huge murmur in the crowd as this would be a huge hit on first high school's reputation. 

"You! You! You!" Han Mu was so angry he couldn't even get past the word you! 

"I see this judge knows right from wrong. Especially since the only companies who would have a chance at creating such a masterpiece would be our companies, and to be honest, we are nowhere even near being able to do such a thing. I can say for one hundred percent certainty that this little lady and her team built this on their own." Old Mo stepped in. He felt it was slightly strange how the lead judge suddenly gave Han Mu up, but it didn't matter as long as his new heir was clear of any scandals. 

Shen Xia canceled her charm and smiled at the lead judge. "Since you have also committed a crime, as you have already punished first high school, I will not follow up on your offense. Money can blind people after all."

After saying this, she turned around and petted Spot as she walked back to her booth and sat down. The lead judge just stood there trying to figure out what had just happened. He looked up at Shen Xia with fear in his eyes.. He decided if he were to ever see this girl on the same side of the street as him he would quickly cross to the other side.
