CH350 Security of Rune-Tech

"Necessary?" Zora asked.
"Hmm…" Alex nodded. He casually pulled her closer, slipping Zora's leg over his thigh so she sat snugly in his embrace. "We needed to see how far we could go. I needed to know how proprietary and unique my Rune-Tech products really are."
"Speak clearly, Alex." Zora caught his wandering hand, which—as usual—couldn't stay honest.
"Security," Alex stated simply. "Before I go all in—creating different Rune-Tech products for the Palace and the subsidiaries we'll soon establish—Haggleworth suggested we test the products' security from different angles. The Coinage Moonstone just happened to be the perfect product for such testing, since every major organisation has their eyes on it."
Realisation dawned on Zora.
"So that's why Haggleworth came up with that nonsensical story about a powerhouse who gave him the Coinage Moonstone," she said.
