Whenever the topic of the Neural-Network Interface System came up, he would smoothly deflect the conversation, offering nothing on its development status.

The shareholders were on edge. Part of them believed Eugene wouldn’t make promises lightly -yet another part was convinced there was simply no way Carter Group could match Powell Group’s level of polish in such a short time.

All this media buzz, in their eyes, was just setting the company up for a major letdown.

A few even banded together, threatening to withdraw funding if he moved forward with the launch.

Eugene didn’t flinch. “Go ahead and pull out,” he stated firmly. “I don’t respond to threats.

“But if you think we’re overhyping this and you don’t believe we can deliver, withdraw your funds now. I won’t hold it against you.”

His tone was cool and unwavering.

Carter Group still held external assets; if those shareholders walked away, he’d liquidate whatever was needed to cover the gap.
