Eugene, however, remained fully assured-

Since assembling Carter Group’s top–tier team, nearly every member had been delivering encouraging updates.

The research materials provided by Vex were exhaustively detailed–so thorough that it almost felt like handing over the entire technology on a silver platter.

Recalling the insider’s mention of a personal vendetta against Powell Group as well, Eugene narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

He swept his gaze across the executives seated around the conference table.

Each wore a concerned expression, evidently skeptical about their own company’s product.

Truth be told, if Eugene hadn’t wielded such solid authority and a track record of success, some might have already voiced opposition to launching the Neural–Network Interface System.

In fact, a few had quietly speculated that this move might be tied to the recent high–society drama.

The Powell family’s second son and their newly recognized daughter had both left the household, and rumor had it that the daughter was quite close to the Carters.

Both Eugene’s parents were fond of her, and Eugene himself had shown her considerable care and protection.

The very evening she departed, Eugene had called an urgent meeting, insisting they pursue the project at all costs and go toe–to–toe with Powell Group.

It didn’t take a genius to connect the dots to the Neural–Network Interface System.

Several executives opened their mouths as if to speak, but ultimately held back.

Eugene’s word was final, and his influence had only strengthened–especially after he’d declined to participate in shorting Hanks Group. That decision had bolstered his reputation and credibility across the industry.

No one dared question his judgment anymore.

Moreover, because Carter Group hadn’t bet against Hanks Group, relations between the two firms remained strong.

Once Hanks Group recovered, they entered into multiple agreements and partnerships with Carter Group.

Even several major projects that had been withdrawn were later entrusted to Carter Group by Hanks.

Naturally, compared to those who had stabbed them in the back, Hanks Group trusted Carter Group far

more.

So even if Eugene chose to redirect some funds from one project to support the young woman he favored, few would likely raise objections.

After all, Carter Group as a whole was now earning well beyond that sum.

As the meeting adjourned, Eugene received a call from Edward.

“I hear Powell Group and Bexley Group are coming at you hard,” Edward said, his tone even and direct. “If you need backup, just say the word.”

Clearly, news had traveled even to the neighboring city.

Eugene raised a brow. “What’s the occasion?”

Usually, Hanks Group stayed out of others‘ affairs.

Edward gave a low, humorless laugh. “We turned up some interesting findings recently. Bexley Group isn’t exactly clean.

“And Powell Group took a short position against us at Hanks, too.”

It wasn’t just Powell, of course–but since they were tied to Bexley, and Bexley was part of this showdown…

Eugene understood immediately.

“Understood,” he replied with a nod.

Edward pressed further, “What about the Neural–Network Interface System–can you pull it off?

“If not, I can send over a few of our specialists to assist.”

His expression remained steady.

While Hanks Group’s top researchers weren’t neural interface experts, they had relevant cross–disciplinary knowledge.

If Eugene needed support, they could deploy a team at once.

“That won’t be necessary.”

Eugene’s tone was cool, his voice low.

The assurance Vex had given him flashed through his mind.

With that person in the picture, there shouldn’t be any issues.

“Alright then,” Edward replied, mildly intrigued.

It seemed Carter Group’s confidence was genuine–not just a front against Powell and Bexley’s well- established projects.
