Chapter 371
Two days later, Matthias traveled to Santerra to attend the International Artificial Intelligence Conference.
Similar to last year’s tech expo, this event was a prime opportunity for industry professionals to learn about the latest AI developments and exchange technical insights.
Accompanying him were Celeste, Kieran, and a few other newly hired engineers at YodaVision.
The reason for bringing newcomers like Kieran was that they hadn’t yet been exposed to the company’s proprietary information, so there was no risk of any sensitive information being leaked.
By the time they arrived in Santerra and entered the conference venue, a sizable crowd had already gathered. It was said that several prominent international Al experts would also be attending the event.
At last year’s tech expo, Matthias had already drawn significant attention solely by virtue of being Zachary’s student.
Now, with YodaVision’s rising influence, his appearance at this event caused an even greater stir.
As soon as he walked into the hall, most of the attendees turned their attention to him. Many people immediately came over to greet him, keeping him quite busy.
Celeste and Kieran stood to the side, watching Matthias as he socialized, when suddenly a familiar voice reached Celeste’s ears.
“You’re here too?”
Celeste turned around.
It was Beck, and standing next to him was James.
She nodded. “Mr. Harper, you’re here too?”
Beck wasn’t someone who needed to attend such conferences in person–sending senior executives or key tech personnel like James would’ve been enough.
However, it had been a while since he’d last seen Celeste.
Knowing that she would almost certainly attend a major event like this, he decided to come himself.
As he exchanged a few polite words with Celeste, he noticed Kieran giving him a cold look. However, Beck ignored him.
Just then, Trevor arrived as well. Wynn wasn’t with him this time though.
Celeste and Matthias noticed his arrival but didn’t have time to react before the hosts of the event appeared, surrounding and politely escorting a man in his sixties into the venue.
Both Celeste and Matthias were familiar with influential figures in the AI field, both domestic and international. At a glance, they recognized the man–Cayden Sweeney.
Cayden was a highly accomplished figure in the AI world.
Previously, Celeste and Matthias had been surprised that Wynn wasn’t by Trevor’s side.
Now, upon seeing Cayden, they understood why. She was standing right next to Cayden.
It was clear that she was well acquainted with him.

Recalling some information about Cayden and linking it to the fact that Wynn was doing her PhD in Andostan, Celeste and Matthias immediately realized why Wynn was by his side.
Most likely, Cayden was her PhD advisor.
