"What's... the problem?"
"I just got off the phone with a senator"
"Alright... What's the problem then?"
"He asked a lot about you and seems to be very interested in the company and it's launch on the market tomorrow"
"Did you---"
"N–No. I gave no information whatsoever. I've been working with Xander to make sure all research and scientists are restricted until tomorrow. Even the military"
Good.
"This... Senator. Why was he interested?"
"Stock manipulation and money laundering— he sees the launch as a good opportunity to move his money and clean it— give us cash while we hold it as stock under our name"
"How much?"
"W–Wait... You're not---"
"If he came to meet us, it means there's a lot of money on the line. How much is he looking to clean?"
Anton looked at him as he heard this.
Money laundering?
"...A billion— he believes we'll be worth that in a few years"
"What did you say to him?"
"Told him to wait. It seemed too interesting to brush off when he threatened"
