Chapter 1171 Fulbert

The reporter asking the question was naturally a stooge arranged by Xia Yu.

At such an important press conference, any media outlet that is qualified to ask questions is almost always pre-arranged, and the questions and answers are already prepared.

Sylvia pretended to be thoughtful. After a moment's reflection, she smiled and said, "We can indeed create higher-quality Porygons, but the cost increases exponentially, making it completely unprofitable. Unless under special circumstances, we won't create high-quality Porygons. Furthermore, the highest-quality Porygon we can create right now is a semi-champion level, but that would take at least half a year, or even a year, to produce."

Sylvia's answer was quite standard, and it was naturally an answer that had been prepared long ago.

Of course, this answer is pure nonsense. Although the cost of manufacturing high-quality Porygons will indeed increase slightly, it will not reach such an exaggerated level. The reason for answering in this way is purely to raise prices and shut people up.

Xia Yu knew that after this press conference, someone would definitely come to him to order a private, high-quality Porygon.

They are the privileged class and wealthy families in China. Price is not important to them at all. What they care about is the highest quality of Porygon that Xia Yu can produce.

Xia Yu also took this opportunity to speak frankly.

The MaxxLab can only produce Porygons with quasi-champion level qualifications at most. If you want to customize one, there are only Porygons with such high qualifications, and the price is very expensive, and it will take at least half a year to ship.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Sylvia. I have no further questions."

…………

After that, Sylvia answered a few prepared questions as she had done during the rehearsal.

"Does anyone else have questions?" Sylvia asked with a smile, preparing to end this session.

"I have a question!" However, at this moment, a sudden voice suddenly sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who asked the question.

He was a tall, blond foreign man. He was not on the list of questions in the rehearsal plan, and Sylvia did not call his name.

Are you here to make trouble?

Xia Yu in the backstage had a slightly cold expression. He looked at the man, then at Sylvia, with a hint of worry in his eyes. Then he stood up and walked towards the venue.

"Deputy Director Sylvia, I'm Fulbert, the Chinese correspondent for the British Empire's Daily Sun..." The blond white man was still talking to himself.

Faced with this sudden incident, Sylvia was also slightly stunned, but she quickly calmed down and interrupted Fulbert directly: "Fulbert, I don't think I asked you to ask a question just now. As a reporter for the British Empire Sun Daily in China, don't you even have the most basic journalistic qualities?"

Fulbert remained calm in response to Sylvia's question. "Deputy Director Sylvia, please forgive my offense, but as a journalist, isn't my job to pursue the truth and reveal it to the public? Especially when facing thieves who are deceiving others and stealing their scientific research, I have no choice but to speak out. My words are my sword, tearing through their lies."

Fulbert's neither humble nor arrogant words suddenly changed the atmosphere in the meeting hall.

Many people smelled the smell of gunpowder and watched the scene with great interest. Many of them had smiles on their faces and watched the scene with great interest.

Xia Yu, who had just arrived at the venue, happened to hear this scene. He frowned and looked at Sylvia on the stage. He was not sure whether Sylvia could handle the current situation, and he was mentally prepared to go on stage.

Sylvia kept smiling as she looked at Fulbert in the audience. She knew that since Fulbert dared to cause a scene at the press conference at this time, he must have been well prepared and difficult to deal with. She must not let him take control of the initiative.

"Fulbert, the question time for this session has far exceeded expectations. If you have any questions, you can continue to contact MaxxLab after the press conference."

"Oh?" Fulbert chuckled. "Are you afraid? Are you hiding from something? The deputy director of the Gigantamax Laboratory, known as the world's top Pokémon research institute, is actually feeling guilty? It seems you know you've done something wrong."

Fulbert is now like a toad landing on someone's feet. He doesn't bite anyone, but he is annoying.

He was being mysterious and saying things that damaged the reputation of Maximal Labs, but he didn't ask any questions. But if Sylvia chased him away at this time, she would have fallen into his trap.

He will definitely cry out loudly about his grievances at the last moment.

If I chase him away then I'll be guilty as a thief, but if I don't chase him away he won't be able to do anything.

The smile on Sylvia's face gradually faded. She saw Xia Yu appear out of the corner of her eye, and then she took a deep breath!

She must handle this matter well and never let Xia Yu down.

"Fulbert," Sylvia said, looking at Fulbert, "you don't need to confuse people here. You need to take responsibility for what you just said. The legal department of Maximal Labs will contact you later. I can also extend the time for questions to give you a chance to ask. Go ahead, what questions do you have?"

At this moment, Sylvia's aura was fully open, which was completely different from her attitude when facing Xia Yu.

This powerful aura actually made Fulbert feel a little inexplicably pressured. However, since he was assigned to carry out such a mission, his psychological and professional qualities were naturally no problem. He smiled and said to Sylvia, "Deputy Director Sylvia, I think I should call you by your full name, Sylvia Granger. Everyone knows that you are the daughter of Sainz Granger, the father of artificial Pokémon, right?"

"That's right," Sylvia replied in a deep voice. She had never had her own identity or background, and it was precisely because of her identity as the daughter of Sainz Granger that she was able to secure her position as the deputy director of the Gigantamax Laboratory.

"So the Polygon wasn't actually your invention, was it?" Fulbert asked gradually. "It was actually the result of your father, Sainz's experiments, right?"

In response to Fulbert's question, Sylvia refused to be led astray by him. Instead, she said, "That's not true. It's like a 100-meter race. My father only ran the first ten meters, but the rest was covered by Maximal Labs."

"But without your father, you wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the 100-meter race, right?" It has to be said that Fulbert is really eloquent and good at speaking to be able to work as a reporter.

"I recently received a report," Fulbert continued, a confident smile on his face. "It's undisputed that Porygon was created by your father, Sainz, in the laboratory at the British Empire Artificial Pokémon Research Institute."

"The Artificial Pokémon Research Institute is jointly owned by your father and the British Empire Pokémon Association. To be more precise, the local Pokémon Association holds the majority of the shares."

"So strictly speaking, this Porygon should belong to the British Empire Pokémon Association."

At this point, Fulbert's voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Sylvia, you are seizing the laboratory's property, illegally embezzling assets, and committing treason!"
