Ashley wasn't wrong—Su Yu indeed did not own the "Fegg Public Network."
Although the "Fegg Public Network" was developed by Jared, the development funding at the time was provided by the Hub Council.
Thus, this 2.5-level AI isn't Jared's property, let alone Su Yu's.
And now Su Yu is actually attempting to auction off public property belonging to the Hub. Isn't he afraid of being sent straight to jail upon returning to the Hub?
Of course, Su Yu was well aware of this.
So he immediately sent a spiritual message to Ashley: "Lady Ashley, you are misunderstanding me. I'm not selling the integrated 'Fegg Public Network' AI."
"Huh? You're not selling it?" Ashley was stunned.
"Of course I wouldn't sell it. This is public property of the Hub. Who would dare auction this in such a public setting?"
"Then why…"
"I'm using it as collateral."
