The moment Dr. Voss wrapped up his presentation, the air in the hall buzzed with anticipation, crystallizing into one burning question that pierced through the murmurs:
"Enough specs, what's the damn price?" shouted a finance reporter from Aurelian Capital.
A wave of nervous laughter rippled through the crowd. Even rival executives leaned in, their faces a mix of dread and morbid curiosity.
Voss couldn't help but smirk; he had been waiting for this moment.
"Ah, the part where we separate visionaries from bystanders."
With a dramatic flourish, he swiped his hand, and the holographic display transformed into a stark, glowing price list:
