Stacey looked at the beautiful girl in front of her in shock. She reached out, intending to touch the robot, but hesitated just before making contact. ‘Can I touch it?‘ she wondered, gazing at Hayden, and her expression revealed her thoughts.
“You can touch it,” Hayden said with a smile.
Stacey’s heart raced. She carefully raised her hand to touch Hannah, and upon contact, she instantly exclaimed in her mind, ‘It feels almost indistinguishable from a real person!‘ Subconsciously, Stacey uttered, “It just feels like a real human…”
Lynn was also curious about the girl before them, doubting her entity as a robot. “Mr. Hoggard, can I also touch it?” Lynn asked carefully. After receiving Hayden’s permission, Lynn walked toward Hannah with an excited, racing heart. She gently reached out to touch her hand. ‘It feels as soft and warm as the human skin. Is she truly a robot instead of a real person?” she wondered in disbelief.
Hayden chuckled and suddenly commanded, “Shadow No. 1, Shadow No. 2, attack me!” Immediately, the two stools beside the dining table suddenly transformed into robots. One raised its gun and shot at Hayden, while the other charged forward, attempting to attack him up close.
The scene startled both Stacey and Lynn, especially Stacey. Almost instinctively, she tried to pull Hayden away. However, a figure suddenly darted past her, and Hannah instantly reached Hayden’s side. She raised her hand and caught the bullet aiming at Hayden with bare hands. Simultaneously, she turned around and fought with the robot who attacked Hayden close. After several fast and ruthless moves, the robot stool that cracked Hayden was soon broken.
“Hannah, stop,” Hayden ordered.
Hannah instantly stopped. Her demeanor exuded gentleness, and she slowly withdrew her hands. She returned to Hayden’s side and asked with concern, “Mr. Hoggard, are you injured? Do you need me to make an emergency call?
Hayden replied, “Tm fine. Where is the bullet?” Hannah then opened her hand, revealing her palm. There was a bullet in her once flawless and delicate palm. Unfortunately, her skin was marred by the bullet.
Upon seeing that, Stacey and Lynn widened their eyes in astonishment. At that moment, they both appeared like country bumpkins who hadn’t seen much of the world, yet no one mocked them.
At the side of them, the employees of Hoggard Technologies couldn’t help but smile mysteriously. They took pride in such a high–tech product of their company, even though they were just employees.
Hayden explained, “The greatest advantage of this robot lies in its ability to mimic humans, with a staggering 95 percent fidelity. However, it also faces a significant drawback – the biomimetic skin that makes it appear human is relatively fragile. If it encounters strong attacks, such as bullets, its biomimetic skin will be pierced and damaged. Then, it needs to be sent back to our company for repair to restore its original condition.
Lynn stared at the bullet in Hannah’s hand. After a while, she asked tentatively, “Is this bullet real?”
Hayden nodded. “Yes,” he confirmed.
Stacey and Lynn, who had never seen high–tech products, were utterly stunned. They couldn’t believe that the attack they had just witnessed was real. They couldn’t help but look at the broken robot stools beside them, and then glanced over to the dining table. Recalling that they had just sat on those stools for lunch earlier, they were so startled to learn from Hayden that those were not real stools but high–tech robots capable of shooting and harming humans.
“This robot stool was developed by our company three years ago. It can disguise itself as a stool and function as a real seat, but its most crucial feature is its ability to transform into a robot when needed, following its owner’s commands and Maunching attacks against enemies.” Danjel finally couldn’t hold back and explained excitedly.
Seeing that Becky was so interested in the robots, Jeremy hurriedly took out his writing tablet and perrand wrote: [I have many robots too!] Afterward, he walked to Stacey and tugged at her hand.

Sensing the movement in her hand, Stacey immediately withdrew her attention. She looked down and saw the writing tablet. held up by Jeremy. Specifically, she saw the words on the writing tablet. But Stacey just stared at Jeremy dazed. Hence, Jeremy took out a remote control in his small bag.
Hayden looked at Jeremy and reminded him. “It’s getting late. Let’s shoot the promotional video first. You can take her to see your robots afterward.”
Jeremy frowned and turned to look at Hayden with dissatisfaction.
Stacey was amused. “That’s right, let’s finish the work first. We can play later,” she persuaded.
When Jeremy heard Becky’s words, he immediately nodded obediently and put the remote control back into his bag.
After that, the employees of Hoggard Technologies brought a billetproof vest for Stacey to put on, while Jeremy also followed Joshua to wear a bulletproof vest. The other staff who participated in the shooting were required to wear bulletproof vests as well. The shooting soon began when everyone had done their safety preparation.
According to the script, Stacey and Jeremy’s roles were a young mother and son. After the cameraman set up the camera in the children’s study on the second floor, Stacey and Jeremy began to act.
The children’s study was bathed in soft light, and a gentle breeze rustled the sheer curtains. A young mother, acted by Stacey, was tutoring her three–year–old child, acted by Jeremy, to read and understand the intricacies of recognizing letters. She stood behind him, her arms enveloping his small frame, while her large hand gently clasped his. She taught him to write stroke by stroke and reminded him with a gentle voice during her guidance. However, the harmonious and heart- warming scene was suddenly interrupted by a series of knocks at the door.
Almost simultaneously, Stacey and Jeremy looked at the half–opened door and found Hannah holding a tray with a bowl of hot mushroom soup at the door. Hannah smiled and said to them. “Madam, Mister, the mushroom soup is ready.”
“All right, take it in,” Stacey agreed. After receiving the order, Hannah brought in the mushroom soup with a smile and carefully put it on the desk.
Stacey put the children’s literacy book aside, then picked up the hot soup, and slowly fed Jeremy the soup spoon by spoon. Jeremy was remarkably well–behaved. He looked at Stacey joyfully with bright eyes, and his gaze was full of love toward a mother. Mouthfully, he slowly finished the small bowl of mushroom soup fed by Stacey.
At that very moment, two robots suddenly appeared at the door. They held guns and fired directly at the harmonious mother and son in the room!
Instantly, Stacey’s face turned pale, nd she instinctively opened her arms to hold Jeremy tightly, shielding him with her back turned toward the enemies.
Watching the scene, everyone’s hearts raced as they sensed impending doom for the mother and son in the room. Suddenly, the “housekeeper‘ who delivered the mushroom soup, Hannah, standing next to them sprang into action. Her movements seemed simple, yet she caught two bullets barchanded and dashed with lightning speed toward the two robots at the door.
With two crack sounds, the arms of the two robots holding the guns were broken in an instant!
