Erian nced at her with furrowed brows but still responded. "Hello."


    The youngdy raised her eyebrows at Erian''s response, but wasn''t offended. "It''s been a while I saw you at the administrative office."


    "Yeah, I paid Ben for the rent already, so there''s no need to fulfil the daily quota anymore." Erian shrugged in response.


    "Oh! Okay. I''m Evelyn by the way."  She introduced herself but was interrupted when her Cyber Wristware clicked in rm.


    "I''m almostte, I have to get back to work. It was nice meeting you." The she turned towards Old Tom.


    "Don''t let this food go to waste otherwise I will be really mad. Alright, need to go now,ter." With that she left the store to the two men.


    Erian whistled and his smile turned mischievous as he turned towards the old man. "Old Jon, even at your old age, you still got game! How often do you-"


    "Bang!"


    "Ouch!" Erian reeled backwards ads he held his head in pain. He didn''t even see the old man make a move.


    "What was thar for!?" Erian shouted, ring at the old ma feeling wronged.


    "That''s my daughter, you idiot. Why are you here?" Drawing back his hand filled with little tools, the old man continued his tinkering.


    Pouting a little, Erian dropped the bag of cash in the counter. "I wish to change this into digital currency. Can you do thag for me?"


    "Five percentmission."


    Erian frowned slightly. He didn''t want to change the money in the bank as they would be suspicious of how a Scavenger came to be of that amount, which was why he came here but the amount the old man was asking was too much. No wonder the old man didn''t get much customers  he was very expensive.


    There was no use arguing since the old man was really stubborn. "Alright then." Eventually, Erian agreed.


    The old man twisted his wrist and tapped a fewmands on his wrist. "Your UID code?"


    "2W35k8om)("


    Soon, Erian felt a soft vibration from his wrist, the transaction had beenpleted. The old mna grabbed the bag and tossed it inside his store.


    Erian''s expression was wierd. He was smiling but at the same time frowning. His ount held a total of 1,045,000. The old man had removed 55,000 bronx out of 1,100,000 which was hismission. Erian''s hard earned money!


    The old man surely liked money.


    "Do you have serums that could permanently increase vitality and agility?" Erian suddenly asked.


    The old man nced at Erian for a moment and then replied. "Yes, but you can only afford one."


    Erian was stunned before he sneered. "Don''t worry, I don''t want to know." He''d rather go ughter a few beast to gain points even if it was just a little.


    Erian was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a few Cyber Wristware before the old man. He had always wondered what the man was working on, but it turns out the old man was actually working on a few Wristwares. He actually had three already on his counter. They look slightly outdated, and rough but from the rays of light the projected, it seem to be working.


    "You fix Cyber Bands?" The surprise evident in his tone. The device was so thin and small, making it slightly impossible for the human hands to work on and only machines. But the old man with his tiny tools was actually working on one.


    "Something along the line, want to buy one?"


    "Nah, already got one from the Tech Store."


    "Hmph! Those at rigid with all sort of features that can be tracked, stolen and hacked. The ones I have has been deeply modified with different features. You are going to need them where you are going. Take a look." The old man threw Erian a different looking Wristware.


    The exterior looked old, somewhat of of like an older version, but it''s OS was even more advance than the one he was currently putting on. Various options Erian had no idea about their capability littered the watch.


    [Scan]


    [Hack]


    [Demo Mode]


    [Cybe]


    [Incognito]


    Erian wore the band and clicked the [Scan] option thag appeared on his wrist.


    Instantly, a row of data appeared in his wrist.


    [Erian Falstone (Five inches away)<Hack_?>]


    [Matt Euston (20 meters away)<Hack_?>]


    [Jennifer Lander(40 meters away)<Hack_?>]


    [Kate Ringsell(70 meters away)<Hack_?>]


    [Evelyn Williams(ERROR 2-54<Target beyond scanning range.>)]


    Erian selected the hack of his own information. Suddenly, a loading animation appeared in his screen. Erian saw the screen of his own Cyber Wristware shed as though he had raised his hand up to use it, but, he didn''t make such actions.


    With a soft vibration, Erian''s private options appeared on the Modified Wristware. He had just hacked himself.


    His ount number, his ebox, his UID number and other website. He saw that he could even make a transfer from his own ount to the ount tied up with the modified Wristware  without using any pass codes or finger print!


    Erian''s pupils constricted. This Wristware could actually be used to hack other people''s wristware, scan for avable people using the Wristware technology and hack into their ounts whenever he wished. Stealing money from peoples ount is only a click away!


    He could even hide from other people who wish to track his location and even fake his location as he wished! This type of tech shouldn''t even be allowed to exist.


    Erian calmed down his breathing and indifferently nced at the old man. "It doesn''t seem like much, but I will reluctantly take it. How much for the watch."


    For the first time, the old man smiled but if one looked closely, it was a smile of disdain. "500 thousand."


    Erian furrowed his brows tightly. 100,000 for the tech wasn''t too high a price, nor was it too low.


    "Old Jon, things like this are illegal. If I was caught, I would be arrested but seeing as it works, I will take it. Give me your UID code." Erian had a reluctant look in his face as though he was been cheated.


    A soft chuckle escaped the old man''s lips. "I don''t mean bronx."


    Erian face darkened. A 100,000 Silva is already equivalent to a million silva. He knew this old pervert was untrustworthy when ites to money. No wonder he was actually enthusiastic about telling him about the device, it was actually because he wanted to suck him dry of his money!
