CHAPTER 11: THE 30-DAY CRUNCH
Aren sat in his electric wheelchair at the head of the main glass conference room.Empty coffee cups and half-eaten takeaway boxes covered the table.Twelve exhausted engineers sat before him, their eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep.They had spent two full weeks trying to build the core software for Starburst Tech.Progress had completely stopped."Look at the main screen," Aren said calmly.He touched the joystick on his wheelchair and pressed a side panel button.The digital display lit up with a messy web of complex computer code."This is why your platform keeps crashing," Aren explained."You built a giant maze instead of a straight path.""When peak electrical current hits the grid, the software locks up."The lead engineer, David, rubbed his face tiredly."Mr. Greyson, we have worked on this code for six months," David said weakly."We only have thirty days left until the public grid test.""We are not throwing everything away," Aren replied.He rolled his wheelchair forward t
CHAPTER 12: THE HONEYPOT TRAP
Nikolai Wynn leaned back in his leather swivel chair on the top floor of Wynn Corporation.He swirled a glass of fifty-year-old scotch, a triumphant grin stretched across his face.On the glass conference table in front of him lay a thick, bound document stamped with an official patent application seal."Is the file fully secure?" Nikolai asked, looking up at his chief technical officer."Yes, Mr. Wynn," the technician replied, nodding eagerly."Our informant inside Starburst Tech delivered the complete blueprint of Aren Greyson's core energy logic.""It is a masterwork of software engineering."Nikolai let out a loud, mocking laugh that echoed through the private executive suite."That helpless cripple actually thought he could build an empire from a wheelchair," Nikolai sneered."He spent years writing this code, and now it belongs entirely to Wynn Corporation.""With this patent locked down, Starburst Tech will be dead before their public grid test even begins."Nikolai took a slow
CHAPTER 13: SHADOWS OF THE MAYBACH
Jasmine scrambled across the wet pavement, her hands slipping against the cold concrete."Aren! Wait! Stop the car!" she screamed into the roaring storm.She took two frantic steps toward the moving Maybach, reaching out a trembling hand.Before her fingers could touch the sleek black bumper, two venue security guards grabbed her roughly by her arms.They yanked her backward, pinning her against the wet metal railing."Stay back, you crazy woman!" the head guard barked, shoving her down onto the sidewalk."That is a custom, five-hundred-thousand-dollar luxury Maybach!""If you scratch that paint, you will spend the rest of your life in prison!"Jasmine hit the wet ground hard, rain soaking straight through her ruined dress.She wiped her wet hair from her eyes, watching the red taillights vanish into the dark city streets.A cold, bitter laugh escaped her throat as she sat alone in the mud."What am I thinking?" Jasmine whispered to herself, her voice shaking violently."Aren is a use
CHAPTER 14: THE DIGITAL PURGE
Panic exploded across the main research lab at Starburst Tech.Alarm klaxons blared overhead, flashing bright red lights across dozens of frozen computer terminals.Engineers ran frantically back and forth, screaming at one another as error messages flooded every screen."The master backups are zeroed out!" a technician shrieked, tearing at his hair."The local drives are completely fried! Everything is gone!"The rogue lead architect, a man named Marcus, stood near the central server rack.He was holding a wiped flash drive, trying to blend into the chaos with a fake look of horror on his face.Suddenly, the heavy glass doors of the lab slid open.Aren rolled smoothly into the room in his electric wheelchair, his presence instantly silencing the room.Xavier marched right behind him, his icy glare locked directly onto Marcus."Mr. Greyson!" David, the lead systems engineer, cried out in despair."It’s a disaster! Someone executed a root-level purge command! Fifteen days of work just
