Chapter 111: The Rich Man And Lazarus
"Austin..." Nina whispered, her voice tight. She didn't look happy. She looked trapped. "I... I can't take this. It's too much.""Nonsense," Austin insisted, reaching down and gently touching her shoulder. "A Van Cleef or a Cartier is never too much for you, Nina. It's a trivial thing. Just a little trinket to remind you that I'm always thinking about you."He let the brand name drop loud enough for the whole table to hear it, making sure everyone registered the price tag attached to his affection. The wife sighed happily.It was only then, after completing his grand performance, that Austin finally seemed to notice the other person sitting at the table.Austin slowly turned his head. His eyes landed on Nathan. The confident, charming smile on his face faltered for a fraction of a second, replaced by a look of mild confusion.Nathan did not shrink away under the gaze. He sat back in his chair, his hands resting quietly on the table, and met Austin’s eyes directly.Austin looked at Nin
Chapter 112: Pre-meditated Murder
Nathan paused, his fork hovering halfway to his mouth. He placed it back down on his plate and looked up. "Yes. That's correct.""Good for you. That takes effort," Austin said, his tone dripping with fake sincerity. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. He was pressing harder now. He was turning this into an interrogation, a public display of dominance. "What exactly does your father do? What industry is he in?"Each question landed like a small bet. Austin was pushing chips into the center of the table, daring Nathan to try and match his hand. He wanted Nathan to stutter. He wanted Nathan to make up a lie so he could embarrass him in front of Nina.Nathan didn't blink. He kept his posture relaxed, his voice perfectly even and calm. He didn't get defensive. He answered honestly, sticking to the simple script he had built earlier."My father sold wine," Nathan answered briefly.A tiny smirk tugged at the corner of Austin's lips. "Sold? Past tense?""He passed away," Natha
Chapter 113: The Crack In The Mirror
The dinner had reached that stage where the wine was flowing, and the ego was growing. Austin was leaning back in his chair, gesturing with a fork as he held court. He was in the middle of a long-winded story about his father’s latest victory—a massive government contract for a national cybersecurity overhaul."The beauty of it," Austin said, his voice ringing with unearned confidence, "is the blockchain integration. See, my father’s firm developed a 512-bit recursive firewall that actually uses the public ledger to verify hardware signatures. It’s why the contract was worth nine figures. No one else can handle that kind of packet density without a server-side collapse."He sat back, looking around the table for the usual rounds of applause. Martha Delano smiled brightly, nodding as if she understood every word. Connor and Lexi looked impressed by the sheer number of big words Austin had managed to string together.To them, he sounded like a genius. To anyone else, he sounded like he
Chapter 114: The Bigger Man
Austin’s jaw tightened. A vein began to pulse in his temple. His face turned a splotchy, angry red. He looked around the table, but for the first time tonight, nobody was nodding. Even Connor and Lexi were looking down at their plates, feeling the secondhand embarrassment."Yeah, well... semantics," Austin muttered, trying to regain his footing. "You’re getting bogged down in the details. In the real world, the big picture is what matters."But the Governor wasn't listening to Austin anymore. He was already leaning toward Nathan, his eyes sharp with genuine curiosity."And the AI-driven adaptive filter you mentioned," the Governor said, ignoring Austin completely. "How does that handle zero-day vulnerabilities compared to a standard filter?"Nathan answered him. Then the Governor asked a follow-up. And another. Within five minutes, the conversation had become a private dialogue between the Governor and the "janitor" scholarship student.Austin was no longer the most interesting person
Chapter 115: The Golden Hour
The silence of the hallway was shattered by a chorus of panicked footsteps and gasping breaths."Austin!" Martha Delano’s scream was so high-pitched it felt like it could shatter the glass of the nearby family portraits.The family swarmed the scene like a panicked herd. The Governor, Connor, Lexi, and even the young Justin skidded to a halt, their faces turning a ghostly white. The picture before them was a nightmare rendered in high definition. Austin lay sprawled on the marble, his expensive navy suit soaking up a dark, spreading pool of red. Standing over him, her fingers white-knuckled around the hilt of a dripping kitchen knife, was Nina."Nina! What have you done?!" Martha shrieked, her hands flying to her face. "You monster! You’ve killed him!""Call an ambulance! Now!" the Governor roared, his political composure finally cracking as he fumbled for his phone.Nina was shaking so violently the knife rattled in her hand before clattering to the floor. Her mouth opened, her throat
Chapter 116: Back From The Grave
Nathan sat back on his heels, his hands stained crimson. He took a deep, shuddering breath, the adrenaline finally starting to recede, leaving a cold ache in its wake."He’ll live," Nathan said, his voice flat.The Governor stared at Nathan, his eyes filled with a new kind of terror—not for Austin, but of the mystery sitting in front of him. "Where did you learn to do that? No computer science major knows how to clamp an artery in the dark."Nathan didn't answer. He couldn't. He couldn't tell them that his father, Sage Walters, had made sure Nathan was trained by the best combat medics money could buy, just in case a "situation" ever arose."The ambulance is here," Nathan said, nodding toward the front door as the red and blue lights began to flash against the hallway walls.As the paramedics burst into the house, the chaos returned. They pushed Nathan aside, marveling at the makeshift tourniquet and the cauterized wound."Who did this?" the lead paramedic asked, looking at the Govern
Chapter 117: Better Stranger
The hallway was a swirl of blue and red strobe lights reflecting off the white marble. The paramedics were working fast, loading a semi-conscious Austin onto a collapsible stretcher. The air was filled with the smell of blood and sterility.As the medics moved, two police officers stepped away from the crowd, flanking Governor Delano. They lowered their voices, but in the sudden quiet of the hallway, Nathan heard every word."Governor," the lead officer whispered, his voice dripping with a sycophantic edge. "We can handle this quietly. A domestic accident. Austin had a mishap with a kitchen knife while showing off. We can bury the report before it even hits the precinct desk. The press never has to know. Your reputation, and the Prime Minister’s reputation, remains spotless."The officer glanced over at Nathan, his eyes narrowing with a cold, predatory calculation. "And if we need a story... we could even place it on this kid. He’s a nobody. A scholarship student with no backing. We s
Chapter 118: Innocent
The air inside the police station’s interrogation room was freezing cold. A single, harsh fluorescent light flickered overhead, casting long shadows against the bare gray concrete walls.Nina sat in a heavy metal chair, her wrists bound by cold steel handcuffs that clinked softly every time she shivered. She looked so small, so completely out of place in a room meant for criminals. Her face was still incredibly pale, stained with dry tears, and she kept her eyes glued to the scuffed linoleum floor. She was terrified.Nathan sat across from her. He had been completely silent for the last ten minutes, just watching her, letting her process the chaos. He didn't want to pressure her, but time was ticking. The police were outside, and the storm was coming.Finally, Nathan leaned forward. He rested his forearms on the metal table."Nina," he said, his voice dropping to a gentle, quiet whisper. "Look at me."She didn't move at first. Then, slowly, she raised her head. Her lips were trembling.
Chapter 119: Int-her-rogation
"Let's see about that, Jeffery."The fat man froze. The sneer vanished from his face, replaced by a look of utter confusion and slight anger. "How... how do you know my name? I haven't even introduced myself to you."Nathan pointed a lazy finger toward the man’s chest. "Um... nothing special, really. It’s written in bright silver letters right there on your badge, Detective Jeffery. Now, are you actually starting the interrogation, or do I have to mysteriously call out your last name too? Because it’s also right there on your badge, just a couple of inches lower."Jeffery’s face turned a bright, angry red. He groaned under his breath, muttering something about smart-ass kids, and quickly adjusted his jacket to cover the badge. He decided to ignore Nathan entirely and turned his attention to Nina, softening his voice into a greasy, manipulative tone."Ma'am, listen to me," Jeffery said, leaning in. "I know you don't wanna be here. And honestly, neither do I. You are the governor's daug
Chapter 120: Barracuda
The high-powered female attorney, Ms. Vance, smoothed down her expensive gray blazer and stepped forward. She didn't even look at Nathan. To her, a twenty-year-old student playing lawyer wasn't even worth a glance. She adjusted her designer glasses and looked directly at Detective Jeffery, ready to close the case before it even started."Detective, the facts here are incredibly straightforward," Ms. Vance began, her voice dripping with sharp, corporate authority. "We have a victim who was brutally stabbed inside the Governor's mansion. We have a suspect, Nina Delano, who was caught red-handed standing over the body with a bloody weapon in her hand. There are no other fingerprints on the hilt of that knife besides hers. This is an open-and-shut case of attempted murder."Nathan sat quietly in his chair. He didn't interrupt. He didn't object. He just leaned back, twirling his cheap plastic pen around his fingers, letting her speak.Ms. Vance took his silence as weakness and pressed hard
