Chapter 915


    Next to him was Akio Higashino, a legend of Aeos who specialized in artificial intelligence. The man


    was the third most influential individual in the room, after Stefan and the new KCL chairman.


    Akio was very ambitious, and wanted to diversify his business to different technological domains. Not


    only did hispany excel in artificial intelligence, they were also researching electronic chips as well.


    However, they were unable to make a breakthrough in their research, resulting in their inability to


    produce the electronics they wanted. Hence, they were stuck in third ce.


    For over a decade, the man had been trying to destroy the partnership between H Group and KCL


    Group, in hopes of recing H Group as KCL’s business partner. If hispany, Higashino Corp,


    could sign a contract to work with KCL, he was confident that they would surely surpass KCL in the


    future.


    “Mr. Hunt, you’re so calm! Could it be that you’ve already signed a contract with KCL in private? If that’s


    the case, congrattions are in order!” Akio nodded as he naturally shed Stefan a fake smile.


    Truthfully, he had no idea about the man’s rtionship with the new chairman of KCL, and was just


    trying to pry information out of Stefan.


    “No, I’m not close to the new chairman,” Stefan replied indifferently.


    “Oh? You aren’t?” Akio’s eyes lit up, and his lips curved into a grin. “Looks like we’ll be having a fair


    competition then, Mr. Hunt. KCL might choose to work with Higashino Corp now, or even someone else


    entirely.”


    “Indeed. As long as the person is genuine about working with them, they’d probably have a chance at


    signing a contract with KCL,” Stefan said honestly. Back then, due to his special rtionship with


    Julian, H Group was the solepany that formed a partnership with KCL Group.


    However, now that Julian had been reced by the new chairman, he wasn’t quite sure if he’d be able


    to sessfully win KCL over.


    He had tried to find out about the new chairman’s identity from Julian, but his nephew had no idea who


    the person was either. This only made Stefan even more curious about the person’s identity.


    “Oh no, that’s simply too inconsiderate! If Higashino Group were to partner up with KCL, wouldn’t that


    make us H Group’s biggest threat?” Akio maintained his smile, pretending to be kind.


    “Besides, isn’t H Group facing a lot of issues right now? Not only has your primary research team left,


    but your investors, with the Murphys in the lead, intend on withdrawing their investments as well. If your


    most important G6 chip project fails, H Group might even face bankruptcy. We’re really worried about


    you!”

    Stefan chuckled coldly. “If you’re so worried about us, Mr. Higashino, why don’t you just voluntarily give


    up on working with KCL?”


    “That won’t do!” Akio’s expression shifted instantly. “How could we miss out on such a great


    opportunity?”


    At that moment Frederick’s call had finally gotten through, but the person on the other end of the line


    gave him a rather odd request.


    “Umm…” The president put down his phone and looked at Seraphina, who was in the meeting room


    outside of the conference. “Miss Murphy, whether the new chairman attends and whether our


    conference goes sessfully… is up to you! We’re counting on you!”
