Chapter 244 Market Turmoil

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. “That Mr. Parker… Even if he’s over there advising Carter Group now, there’s no way he can top what Jeremy helped create for Powell.
“Let’s see if those government folks have any taste at all.
“And us–we’re about to get a standing ovation!”
Once their product took center stage, every official who’d turned their back on them would be begging for
an invitation to their exhibition hall.
This was where the real magic would happen.
The team was on the same page. Without wasting another moment, they kicked off their new produc launch, diving straight into the demo of Jeremy’s co–developed tech.
On Isabella’s side, the growing commotion from Powell Group’s hall was hard to ignore.
“Sounds like Powell’s starting their presentation,” Kevin’s aide murmured quietly from the side.
Kevin kept his expression neutral. “Young people–always in such a hurry.”
It wasn’t even the official start time for exhibitions. Under normal circumstances, Powell would’ve waited until nine, going head–to–head with Carter Group to steal the spotlight all at once.
But here it was, only 8:45, and Powell was already rushing to showcase their product.
Clearly, they were rattled that Kevin had shown up but hadn’t chosen their side.
After all, most attendees had flooded into Powell’s hall earlier, while Kevin and his team had walked the other way. Now, with Kevin’s presence drawing influential figures and potential partners toward Carter Group, Powell had to act fast–or risk losing their crowd entirely.
So this wasn’t just about pride; it was a tactical move to secure the biggest media push and crush the competition.
Kevin saw right through it, and it only deepened his dislike for their approach. He’d never been a fan of cutthroat tactics like these.

What they probably saw as fighting for dignity just came off as petty and unprincipled.
People like that rarely lasted long in the industry–and even if they did, they seldom contributed anything meaningful to the market or the public.
With a slight shake of his head, Kevin leaned back and closed his eyes, showing no interest in whatever Powell was unveiling.
If Powell thought this would lure him into their hall, they were mistaken.
Kevin had presided over enough major tech events to know what truly stood out. Someone like Jeremy

didn’t even register on his radar–let alone a product Jeremy had merely helped develop.
Even if Jeremy had led the project himself, Kevin could take it or leave it.
At Kevin’s level, he had a pretty clear sense of where most tech was headed. Unless Jeremy had broken new theoretical ground or reached a completely different tier, today’s showcase was nothing special. It didn’t even stack up against the real–time data from a standard tech conference back in Oskary.
To Kevin, those gatherings at least had serious industry leaders and substantive debates over emerging tech The intellectual friction there was something to behold.
An event like this? To him, it was just another product rollout.
He’d only come because Steven had invited him–to show support for a dependable homegrown company.
If Powell hadn’t pulled this stunt, he might’ve dropped by their booth once things wrapped up. But now? He’d completely lost interest.
Bringing in overseas talent to undermine a local competitor… and Powell was proud of that?
