Nathan didn't move. He didn't fight back. He didn't even raise his hands to defend himself. He just stood there, completely calm, his expression entirely blank as he looked at the powerful man unraveling in front of him."Let go of him, sir!" Detective Jeffery finally yelled, snapping out of his shock and rushing forward with the other officer to pull the furious Prime Minister off Nathan. They forced the older man back into his chair, trying to sedate him before he caught an assault charge inside a police station.Nathan slowly adjusted his collar, smoothing out the fabric. He looked down at the panting Prime Minister."What you just did on camera is a gross offense, Prime Minister," Nathan said quietly. "Physical assault of an attending attorney during an official interrogation. I'll make sure to add that to the bill later. But for now, let's round up this matter."Nathan turned his attention back to Detective Jeffery, who was wiping sweat from his fat neck. "I’m pretty sure that by

"Nathan Sage Walters," the Governor whispered. "The only son of the great Dr. Sage Walters, and the brilliant young mind who actually invented the recent Quantum Machine breakthrough that shocked the tech world."Nathan froze.His heart skipped a beat, and every muscle in his body suddenly went completely tight. He felt like someone had just dumped a bucket of ice water over his head."Consider me a massive fan of your work, kid," the Governor added, pulling back with a warm, knowing smile.Nathan was stunned. To say he was speechless would be an understatement. He stared at the Governor, his mind racing at a million miles an hour.How? How did he know?Where had he slipped up? Nathan had been so incredibly careful. He wore cheap clothes. He acted like a scholarship student. He kept his head down at the university. He used encrypted networks for all his family business. Did he leave a digital footprint when he hacked the school files? Did his medical technique in the hallway give away

For a long minute, the only sound in the interrogation room was the heavy, labored breathing of the Prime Minister.He stared at the smartphone on the metal table, watching the video of his son stabbing himself play over and over again. The undeniable proof was right there in high definition. The trap had closed, and he was caught right in the middle of it.Slowly, the pale shock on his face melted away, replaced by a desperate, ugly rage. He slammed his fists on the table, refusing to accept defeat."This is a trick!" the Prime Minister shouted, his voice cracking. He pointed a shaking finger at Governor Delano. "You manipulated this! You doctored that video, Richard! My boy is lying in a hospital bed, fighting for his life right now, and you are trying to frame him to save your crazy daughter! He deserves justice!"Governor Delano didn't even blink. He looked at the screaming man with pure pity. "It’s over. Save your breath for the judge.""You were never a good man, Richard!" the P
