Before the big shots left, they all handed
Aiden a business card and left him with their private contact information.
Aiden did not yet have a business card, and the phone he used was still Morris' old one.
Perhaps Aiden did not care much about the matter, but Anthony K. knew that mobile
phones were necessary for people in the business world. Therefore, Ava, ignoring Aiden's
objection, dragged him to a red Audi in the afternoon and drove him to the biggest
electronics mall in Bayside District.
Ava still looked like an icy beauty. Apart from necessary conversation, she never spoke a
word to Aiden. People who were aloof with strangers always made Aiden feel
uncomfortable.
Ava's way of doing things was particularly swift and decisive. The car had just stopped
under the mall building when Ava brought Aiden into the elevator, and the pair rode it
straight to the top floor. On this floor, shops sold all the most famous brands of
electronic products and the most expensive iPhones in the current market.
Ava did not even think about it. She brought Aiden to the iPhone counter in the Apple
Store and pointed at the latest iPhones in the display cabinet. Take one, she commanded
Aiden.
She remembered that Aiden's parents' mobile phones were quite old. She shouted, Take
three, I want the best. The customers who were choosing their phones around were
suddenly shocked by Ava's actions.
This kind of iPhone was extremely expensive because it was a new model that had just
been released. It currently costs $10,000, more than many families' monthly income.
Hence, many people would think for a long time before purchasing this phone.
They would only dare to buy it after carefully researching it. But now, Ava had opened
her mouth. She asked for three phones.
She didn't even blink. Her actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone on
the 24th floor. Only then did the Apple cabinet staff come back to his senses.
His face was instantly filled with excitement. But just as he was about to speak, he was
pushed away by his manager. It was rare for the manager to meet such a wealthy
customer.
He had already planned to receive her on his own. The manager was a middle-aged man
with slicked back hair. He had a slightly plump body.
When he smiled, his eyes narrowed to slits. Under the clerk's resentful gaze, the
manager rubbed his hands together. Excuse me, miss.
Is there anything I can help you with? Ava repeated what she had just said. After
confirming that Ava was not joking, the smile on the manager's face became wider. He
directly removed three iPhones from a drawer beneath the countertop and handed them
to Ava.
Ava did not even look at them and handed them to Aiden who was at the side. Aiden
held three valuable phones in his hand and stood there dumbfounded. Were they fake?
System, scan the phones in front of you.
Ding! Activating beginner level appraisal ability. Scan completed. A detailed
configuration map appeared in Aiden's mind.
It included memory, pixels, systems, and so on. Aiden's attention was drawn to the floor
where their mobile phone had left the factory. He saw that the mobile phone came out of
the factory.
Chesterton State's Fletcherton Factory. Aiden's expression immediately turned ugly.
iPhones came from Regan's brand, but now these three iPhones were manufactured in
Chesterton State.
If that was the case, then forget it. After all, some iPhones were manufactured in
Chesterton State. The key was the Fletcherton Factory.
The Fletcherton Factory was once known as the biggest
factory in Chesterton State that produced counterfeit products. Every year, countless
counterfeit electronics products are produced from this factory and sold all over the
world. The pirated phones looked almost the same as the real ones, but their
performance was very different.
If ordinary people did not pay attention, it was very likely that they would buy counterfeit
products. The three iPhones in front of Aiden were obviously counterfeit. Furthermore,
the cost of a counterfeit phone might only be a few hundred dollars.
It was a world of difference compared to the thousands it cost for an iPhone. A feeling of
anger rose in Aiden's heart. He directly smashed the phone onto the counter.
He glared at the counter manager. Where did these three phones come from? He
demanded. The manager did not even look at Aiden.
He glanced at Aiden's shabby clothes and thought that he was Ava's little follower. He was even more disdainful. When he heard Aiden's words, he ignored them.
He only cared about circling Ava. Aiden could not help but frown. Ava, who was about to
pay, stopped.
She looked coldly at the counter manager. Mr. Dale is asking you a question. Are you
deaf? She asked.
The counter manager was shocked and turned his attention to Aiden. He did not expect
Aiden to be Ava's boss. Many people had the same thoughts as the manager.
Their eyes, which were originally focused on Ava, suddenly turned to Aiden. They could
not help but guess in their hearts. Could it be that Aiden is a young master who likes to
experience life at the bottom of the hierarchy? The counter manager immediately put on
a smile and replied to Aiden.
Yes, sir. The iPhones we sell are naturally imported from Regan. Oh, is that so? Aiden just
smiled coldly.
But it made the counter manager's hair stand on end. Did this kid find out? The counter
manager hesitated. No, impossible.
This knockoff technology can't even be distinguished by many mobile phone experts.
How can this kid see through it? Ava leaned over. Is there anything wrong? She asked
doubtfully.
I suspect that this guy sold us three knockoff phones, Aiden said with a cold smile. The
surrounding people were instantly shocked. Selling fake phones was considered fraud.
This boss would be locked up in the police station. Ordinary people hated profiteers who
sold fake phones more than anything. When everyone heard Aiden's words, the way they
looked at the manager could not help but become strange.
Sensing that people were looking, the manager panicked. He said with a fierce
expression, but with a weak heart. Kid, don't slander me.
Our products have gone through a lot of tests. How could it be a counterfeit product? I
can sue you for slander. Ava also frowned.
Mr. Dale, she said, did you make a mistake? I bought a lot of things in the shop, so it's
not a problem. Aiden didn't say a word.
His eyes were fixed on the manager's face. At this moment, although the manager had a
righteous look on his face, beads of cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on his
forehead. Ding.Observing micro-expressions. Mind-reading ability, plus one. Ding.

Ding. Target's probability of lying is 98%. With this result, Aiden was even more certain.
No problem once, but it does not mean that there is no problem every time. Aiden's face
was cold. If you don't believe me, he said, we can ask the professionals to come over
and take a look.
How about that? I believe there will be a surprise when the time comes, Aiden said.
Aiden emphasized the word surprise. The cold look in his eyes made the counter-
manager feel cold behind his back.
The manager knew better than anyone what kind of crap his own products were. Seeing
Aiden's confident look, the manager had lost all confidence. He suddenly moved closer
to Aiden and gritted his teeth.
Brother, he said softly, don't be too ruthless. You have to leave a way for yourself. Name
a price.
We'll settle this privately. If the truth of this shop selling counterfeit goods were exposed
today, they would not be able to continue living in the mobile phone industry in the
future. Therefore, the manager had to do his best to comfort Aiden.
How could Ava not know what was going on at this time? Her pretty face was instantly
filled with anger as she walked back without saying a word. Aiden hit the three mobile
phones on the manager's face and said in a clear voice, go on privately with the officer. I
will not accompany you.
He turned around and left as well. After Ava called the police, she brought Aiden to
another cell phone cabinet and took out three identical phones. This time, she followed
Aiden's lead and asked him to look at the phones several times.
After confirming that there were no problems, she bought the phones. In the shop.
