Chapter 125
The annual Global Technology Summit was being held at Lux Hotel.
Various media companies and reporters were waiting outside the hotel at the break of dawn with their
equipment, eagerly waiting for two particular people to show up. One of them was a man troubled by
his divorce, the future heir of the Hunt family, and also the president of H Group, Stefan Hunt.
The other was a well–known researcher in the field of electronic chips, who also happened to be KCL
Group’s largest shareholder, Mr. Y. Mr. Y attracted a lot of public attention not just. because of his
mysterious identity and the fact that he’d never shown up in public, but also because he had a tight–
knit relationship with Stefan.
The chips created by KCL Group were only sold to H Group, which meant that H Group occupied 75
percent of the market in the electronics and technology industry. On top of that, Stefan frequently met

The venue was spacious, and the decorations were grand. Those who showed up were all celebrities
and hotshots that actively appeared on Forbes‘ list of famous people. Different areas had showrooms
by different companies, and they each displayed their own most advanced, popular electronics and
technology.
Renee represented Azure Group, a ‘new‘ company. They didn’t have their own research and
development department yet, so the company was somewhat overlooked in the Global Technology
Summit where all the big names in the industry gathered. Their showroom was small and secluded,
and they were very clearly snubbed by their peers.
However, Renee didn’t mind. The main reason she was here was to acquire the latest information in
the industry, which was why she kept her mask on while she roamed around.
The two biggest showrooms naturally belonged to H Group and KCL Group, with each occupying an
entire floor in the prime spots of the hotel. Both their showrooms were crowded and cramped, and it
took Renee a lot of effort to squeeze her way into KCL Group’s showroom.
A tall hostess dressed in a modern and futuristic outfit was introducing the company’s newest product
to the audience. “Ladies and gentlemen, this 5A chip is an incredible creation developed solely by Mr.
Y, the chief researcher of KCL Group. It uses the most advanced semiconductor materials, as well as
the qubit technology, to increase the chip’s operating speed to 99.7 percent. Currently, it hasn’t been
released to the market in large quantities yet…”
As the hostess was speaking, there were a lot of excited discussions going on in the crowd.
“KCL Group is amazing. They definitely have the best chip technology in the world. Mr. Y, their chief
researcher, keeps a low profile, but he always produces the most amazing creations!”
“Ah, so what? Small tech companies like ours won’t even be able to get access to it… They only supply
their newest technologies to H Group!”

A few people lowered their voices to discuss something, snickering every once in a while.
Meanwhile, Renee was holding her phone up to take pictures of the completed 5A chips in the display
cabinets. The chip was an amazing work of ingenuity, with its advanced technology, high–quality
materials, large storage, and sleek appearance.
If Azure Group could get its hand on this chip, reaching the turnover target of seven billion dollars
requested by South Group would be a piece of cake. Not only that, but the company would also easily
occupy a majority of the market share in the electronics and technology industry. 1
Hence, Renee was naturally drawn to what these people were discussing.
“I heard that Mr. Hunt and Mr. Y have already settled down in the hotel. I bet they’re currently

Renee’s desire for gossip was at its peak. She immediately approached the group that was chatting
and asked, “What are they currently doing?”
