The most important part of the event was starting soon, and several important figures were already seated at the
round table. This included Stefan, Frederick Yarrow, and many other powerful leaders of the industry.
The rest of the participants could only observe their meeting from a large meeting room outside the hall. Even the
biggest sponsor of the event, Seraphina, was not allowed to attend the conference.
To start the conference, the eight industry leaders would have to press the activation button, located in the middle
of the conference table, simultaneously. This activation button was shaped like the Earth and divided into eight
pieces, representing the eight regions that contributed most to the technology industry.
The conference was scheduled to start soon. Some people had even brought automated translators, and they
counted down excitedly.
“Five, four, three, two…”

should have been pressed by now.
“I’m sorry, everyone, I’m afraid we’re experiencing some technical issues.” Frederick Yarrow, the president of the
Electronics Technology Association and the host of the event, suddenly announced in a panicked voice.
“Huh? Technical difficulties? What happened?”
Everyone outside the conference room was confused, and they all started discussing possible reasons for the delay.
In the end, only the industry leaders would know what was happening, all… seven of them?
“As you can see, there are only seven leaders sitting here. There is still one very important member who is absent,
and the piece they represent is second to H Group. Without them, we are unable to light up the button, which is
why this conference cannot begin yet.” Frederick then pointed at the empty seat next to Stefan. “The person who
will join us shortly is the newest chairman of KCL, someone who has made remarkable contributions to our
industry”
Frederick inhaled deeply, then explained, “KCL is fortunate to have quite a skilled research team that constantly
brings us many surprises, leading our industry to greater heights… This new chairman is a fellow researcher too,
just like their predecessor, Mr. Y. This person is also the genius who invented the renowned G6 chip! Once this chip
is officially introduced to the public, it will revolutionize our current industry, potentially changing everyone’s lives!”
Frederick’s words piqued everyone’s interest, and the people there grew more and more curious about the
chairman’s identity. They didn’t really mind that the chairman was late, considering how influential the person was,
but they were worried that the chairman might not show up at all.
“President Yarrow, everything you just said is practically common knowledge at this point. We’ve been waiting for
so long to see who this mysterious KCL chairman is, not to hear about how great they are! We hope this legend can
help lead our industry to greater heights!”
“Yeah! We just want to see who this new KCL chairman is! Can’t you use your position as the president to summon
them here?!”

Many people were starting to feel impatient, and they started pressuring Frederick.
Frederick was feeling quite anxious as he turned to the crowd. “Calm down, everyone. I’ve already made some calls
to the new chairman of KCL. They might be busy at the moment, because they’re not picking up any of my calls…”
“What? Can’t you get anything right, Yarrow? As the president of the Electronics Technology Association, you should
at least be able to do this much, right? If you can’t, you should really consider resigning!”
“That’s right, you couldn’t bring over the one you were supposed to invite, and instead ended up inviting not one,
but two unwelcome strays! A useless president like you should have resigned long ago!”
Frederick repeatedly dialed the new chairman’s number, feeling so stressed that he was close to tears.
On the other hand, Stefan was sitting in the very middle of the conference table, looking remarkably composed. His
cold gaze made it seem like he wasn’t involved in this summit at all.
