Of course, weapon demonstrations and explanations were just supplementary.
Ultimately, it all came down to the "live-fire" test.
Just as Luca was introducing the "Arbiter Pistol," staff at the edge of the testing ground brought out two pigs and a sheep.
Seeing this, Luca smiled, sped up his explanation, and concluded.
"Come, let's see the actual firing effect of this weapon."
Saying this, Luca was about to signal Wrench, who had been waiting for a long time, to demonstrate the live fire.
However, at this moment, a cool female voice came from the crowd.
"I remember Mr. Aurantius mentioning just now that this Arbiter Pistol is equipped with the company's most advanced assisted aiming system and achieves near-zero recoil."
"Then, how about letting a weak woman like me, who hasn't used firearms much, test it for you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze focused on Justine Hammer, who had spoken up.
However, oblivious to the attention, she simply looked at Luca with a sweet smile.
"This might better demonstrate the weapon's outstanding performance, don't you think?"
This sudden interlude stunned everyone present, including Luca.
Of course, he quickly recovered and flashed an inexplicable smile at Justine.
"If Ms. Hammer wants to test it personally, of course, there's no problem. I think this is also an honor for the Arbiter~"
Saying this, Luca waved Wrench away and stood there smiling, watching Justine slowly walk towards him.
Luca certainly didn't believe for a second that Justine Hammer, the current helm of Hammer Industries who grew up in a military industrial group, was a "weak woman who hadn't used firearms much."
However, since she was interested in playing, whatever her intentions, Luca was happy to oblige.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to probe what this young lady of a fallen giant intended by coming here this time.
Handing the test "Arbiter" to Justine...
Before Luca could speak first, she directly picked up the tactical support glasses nearby and flashed a charming smile at Luca, completely changing her previous style.
"I listened carefully just now~"
Saying this, she put the tactical glasses on her right eye and gently tapped the activation button on the top.
The screen of the monocle tactical glasses lit up immediately.
However, the text displayed on the screen was "Usage Authorization Not Obtained."
Seeing this, the corners of Justine Hammer's mouth curled up slightly.
"Nice design~ Usage authority, handsome~"
At this moment, Justine's voice was charming with a hint of playfulness, as if she were a different person from the arrogant and cool woman before.
Seeing her drastic change in demeanor, Luca just shrugged slightly and turned nonchalantly to pat the orange Haro connected to the equipment beside him.
"Haro, grant Ms. Hammer test authorization."
"Grant authorization, grant authorization!"
The next moment, the unauthorized text in front of Justine's eyes quickly disappeared, and various startup data flowed past consecutively.
However, her attention wasn't on the flowing characters but rather on the eye-catching orange Haro on the table with interest.
But although she was slightly curious about this toy-like Haro, being willful by nature, she didn't change her mind because of it. Instead, she followed her original plan.
She directly raised the "Arbiter Pistol" in her hand!
"Master, look out!"
Beside them, Wrench, who had been intrigued by the beautiful Justine actively approaching Luca...
Now seeing her aim the gun directly at Luca, his face changed drastically, and he was about to rush forward to subdue her.
Similarly, the guests, whether watching for fun or curious about the upcoming test, all changed their expressions suddenly.
Only Luca, the person involved, turned back to find the gun pointed at him, yet his expression remained unchanged.
Instead, he calmly stopped Wrench, who was about to rush up, and looked calmly into Justine Hammer's eyes.
"It seems Ms. Hammer didn't listen as carefully as you claimed?"
"I remember explaining just now that the biggest feature of the Arbiter Pistol is that they all connect to the terminal server to ensure this weapon won't be used in dangerous incidents threatening public safety."
"So, does Ms. Hammer think that at this weapon demonstration, I would enable the authority to attack others on a test firearm?"
Sure enough, although the usage authority for the "Arbiter Pistol" in Justine's hand hadn't been revoked...
When the muzzle was aimed at Luca, the monocle tactical glasses displayed:
Non-target, trigger locked!
However, Justine Hammer didn't seem surprised at all. She hadn't even attempted to pull the trigger from start to finish. With the smile still on her face, she said frivolously.
"Of course, I trust your thoroughness, Luca~"
"But since it's a test, naturally, we should demonstrate all aspects of this artwork~"
Saying this, she cleanly retracted the "Arbiter" and even twirled it beautifully in her hand.
As if she had completely forgotten who said just now that she was a weak woman with little exposure to firearms.
However...
Just as she retracted the "Arbiter"...
A dark green pistol very similar in shape to the "Arbiter" suddenly appeared in Luca's hand.
And before anyone else could react, this dark green pistol unfolded rapidly, its flashy body emitting an eerie cyan-green light.
Holding up the [Dominator] which had entered "Lethal Mode," Luca...
Tilted his head, looked past the ion glow of the muzzle at Justine Hammer who was putting away her gun, and revealed a playful smile identical to hers earlier, asking frivolously.
"So... would Ms. Hammer like to guess~ does this gun in my hand have restricted attack authority?"
Beside them, Wrench, who had wanted to subdue Justine Hammer earlier...
Now watching the pulsing green light on the [Dominator], a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Master, it's glowing! What the hell is there to guess?!
On the other hand, Justine, being pointed at by the gun, had a surprisingly calm expression. As if she didn't see the unfolded form and green light, she answered with a smile.
"I guess, no~"
Luca smiled and shrugged upon seeing this, and the [Dominator] in his hand returned to standby mode.
Twirling it beautifully just like her, he holstered it at his waist.
"Justine, you really are good at guessing riddles~"
For some reason, the two smiled at each other, and then Luca continued.
"Next, let's continue with the weapon demonstration, shall we?"
