Gift From The Middle East

The uninvited guest was Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the crown prince of Dubai, UAE. Anyone could guess why he was here.

The parade of cars entered the galaxy technology while Hamdan looked at the scenery outside.

The factories inside the green belt of towering trees could be seen. You could occasionally see some patrols that consisted of both humans and robots.

Hamdan was amazed looking at this. These combat robots were used throughout the company, which means at least 10,000 robots. It is indeed the creators of the combat robot.

Combat robots in here were like roadside cabbages. He didn't have too much time to be amazed as they soon reached the office building or the headquarters of the galaxy technology.

At the same time, Ashly was talking with Ankit.

"You should come over to the headquarters building."

"Why? I'm busy."

"Ankit, the crown prince of Dubai is here. I think you should come. This is probably regarding the new battery technology we are about to release."

It was indeed about that. The crown prince of dubai was sent after the joint decision made by various middle eastern royal families.

They planned to either buy the battery technology or own shares in galaxy technology. With this, they could ensure that they could still live a prosperous life after the transition from fuel to electric vehicles that would happen soon after the release of the this battery.

"Okay. I'll be there soon."

Hamdan just reached the building and got out. He was soon receiced by a civilian robot.

"Hello sir. I am responsible for reciving you. You will be taken to visit the CEO and Chairman."

Hamdan wasn't much amazed as his family was also one of the families that had gotten the invitation for civillian robot sales rights auction.

"Very well. Lead the way.", Hamdan said in arabic while telling his bodyguards to wait here. An assistant, a curvy and gorgeous middle eastern girl, and a girl in ayaba while covering her face with a niqab.

Abaya is a simple, loose over-garment worn by muslim women which covers their whole body except their hands, head and feet whereasthe niqab is a face veil that covers the whole head and the face except for the eyes.

The girl in ayaba looked a bit petite and silently followed. There were total of four elevators in the whole building. Three of them were used by the normal staff while the last one was used by VIPs including important guests and naturally the CEO and Chairman of the company.

The robot led three of them into an empty room. The room had floor to ceiling windows and was pretty spacious. They quickly found their seat and waited.

After around five minutes, Ankit entered the room followed by Ashly. Hamdan and his entourage slowly got up. Hamdan showed a big smile while saying,"Hello Mr. Alderson. Miss Ashly."

Ankit shook hands with Hamdan amd sat opposite to him while Ashly found a seat beside Ankit.

"It is very nice to meet the crown prince of Dubai.", Ankit said.

"Yes. It is very nice to meet you too. I have admired Mr. Alderson's capability for as long as I have heard about you."

Ankit smiled and didn't continue.

"It is also nice to meet you Miss Ashly.", Hamdan said.

"Same here."

"This is my soon to be wife, Zara and my assistant, Layla.", Hamdan said while pointing at the two women beside him.

Layla said hello while Zara lifted up her veil while saying, "As-salamu alaykun."

Ankit was a bit amazed when he saw her but didn't show it on his face. This was not because of her greeting but because of the fact that the 'wife' of crown prince Hamdan looked around 15 or 16 years old.

A beautiful girl with an fascinating smile on her face. One must keep in mind that Hamdan already had one wife while he himself was 37 years old. This girl was almost 25 years younger than him.

'Poor girl', Ashly thought to herself.

"Prince, I'm a bit tight on schedule. It would be better if we could get to the main topic."

"I would like to buy your atomic matrix technology. $2 trillion, full buyout."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hamdan. That is not possible.", Ankit replied before Ashly said anything.

Hamdan just smiled after hearing this.

"Expected. Well, we would like to buy shares of Galaxy holdings."

"I'm sorry but this is also not possible."

"We are willing to pay $500 billion for 10% of your shares. Also, this is a small gift we prepared for you.", Hamdan said while pointing at Zara.

"She is still pure and untouched.", he added.

Ankit was disgusted by this behaviour of Hamdan. Even though, he would agree that Zara was beautiful, she was still a child in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I don't have such hobbies. I will have to reject your gift."

"I hope Mr. Alderson will think over our offer and it is negotiable.", Hamdan said while getting up.

"You stay.", he added in arabic.

Zara heard this and sat down with red tear filled eyes.

"Take her with you.", Ankit said but Hamdan kepton walking and left.

"You should go with him.", Ankit turned to Zara after he saw Hamdan go out the door.

"They will kill my parents if I go back. Please don't make me leave", Zara burst into tears.

Ankit got angry and his expression cooled while Ashly went ahead and hugged Zara. Ankit soon left the room with a cold expression.

Ankit went to his private laboratory and asked, "Nanu, where are her parents?"

"Checking...."

"Her father has been killed already and her mother, Kayla is being held at a safehouse by the UAE army. The proposal master got just now was made by the UAE's emirate kings. The same goes for the 'gift' you got.", Nanu said.

"Wanna take her home?", Nanu said in a teasing manner.

"Shut up, you stupid. Your madam will kill me and bury me in the backyard.", Ankit said while laughing. Knowingly or Unknowingly, Nanu had cheered Ankit up and he wasn't as angry. Ankit then cooled his mind and said, "Tell Ashly to send Zara to my mansion and explain to Lily."

"Yes, master."

"Is the antigravity fighter model prepared?"

"Yes, sir. It has been prepared according to the engine you designed and the material required for it is not available. The titanium alloy we have been using to build combat robots is not suitable to build this fighter. The whole fighter will start falling apart after you go faster than 400 meters per second."

"Weren't the material experts we hired working on the new material?"

"They have encountered some problems."

"Sigh. Let's go. I will work with them for now. "

"Okay sir. "

"Also, how is the progress of the quantum camouflage material technology?"

"The researchers are working on perfecting the material technology we obtained from the US military."

"Good."
