Chapter 60 “Do you know that Ms. Yeager was the baby that got mixed up with the Morris family? She didn’t have the best reputation around here before.” asked Paulina.

Tammie took Paulina’s hand reassuringly. “Those are just rumors, and | trust you, as | do Ms. Yeager.” “Thank you.” Paulina leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on Tammie’s forehead.

At the casino, Daniel leaned against the railing on the second floor, his gaze sweeping the floor below.

He was determined to show Sherman that Anthea was playing hard to get. And Anthea would surely step foot in this casino again.

However, she was nowhere to be seen these past few days.

Daniel narrowed his eyes. “Could she have changed her gplan?” “Mr. Robinson, there you are. Mr. Christensen wants a word with you,” an attendant’s voice interrupted Daniel's thoughts.

“Be right there.” Daniel turned and made his way over.

Sherman was sitting on a couch with a laptop on his knees, his fingers flying across the keyboard, the cold light reflecting off his elegant knuckles.

“Fire up your laptop. I've got something to send you.” “Okay.” Daniel grabbed a nearby laptop and logged in.

With one hand deftly navigating his computer and the other casually toying with a cross, Sherman said, “Sent it.” “What's this?” Daniel asked, puzzled.

“Forward it to Phoenix. He'll know what to do.” Daniel paused, then inquired, “The latest OS System?” Sherman nodded slightly.

Daniel was shocked.

The OS was an intelligent system developed by the Christensen Group.

Sherman had been working on OS since he was sixteen and made a breakthrough at twenty, integrating Al into everyday life.

After a decade of research by the Christensen Group's elite teamwas launched.

But they hit unprecedented difficulties as they were on the cusp of

If Al research succeeded, it meant humans were playing with fire. One slip could lead to Al ruling over humanity.

It wasn’t an exaggeration but a reflection of humanity’s vulnerability in the face of advanced technology.

The team had to halt research and put the 4.0 project on ice.

Daniel hadn't expected Sherman to have such faith in the legendary Phoenix.

He admired Phoenix, too, of course. But could Phoenix pull it off alone? After all, it took a team of a thousand experts a decade to advance to Could one man usher it into the era? As Daniel marveled, he logged onto GlobalGigaNet.

Opening the chat window, he typed, [Are you there, Phoenix? | have a favor to ask!] [Speak.] The reply was terse.

Daniel outlined the issue.

“How much?” Daniel hadn't expected such a blunt question. He turned to Sherman, “Sherman, Phoenix is asking about the payment.” “Givethe laptop.” Daniel passed it over.

Sherman positioned the cross between his fingers and took the laptop, typing a message, saying. [Once you get it done, you set your fee.] “Are you sure?” “Yeah.” Though brief, his reply carried an air of authority.

On the other end and accustomed to touching her nose when thinking, Phoenix smirked. [Deal!] Sherman sent the file over.

Phoenix clicked to receive it.

Sherman typed again, [How long will it take? No guarantees on time, but no more than two months, Phoenix replied after glancing at the file. It seemed like an Al system. Fixing this under less-than-ideal conditions might take a month. Two months was a safe bet.

In her world, this was trivial, something she could nail in a day.

Sherman, his fingers absently playing with the cross, a faint glow from the screen illuminating his features, raised an eyebrow. How about addingon WhatsApp?
