Princewill got a tip about some top hackers in DIB and he found out Nathaniel Brown, a long time friend, actually works in DIB so he decided to set up a meeting with him instead of tracing Florence.

Prince told Steven about this recent change so they decided to wait for a few days before taking the Bureau down, they needed an insider they could trust and since Princewill feels he could convince Nathaniel to do his bidding Steven allowed it.

The evening air in the city was still, holding that familiar hum of life, cars moving lazily down the main street, a few pedestrians crossing under the soft orange glow of street lamps.

Inside Greywood Lounge, a private bar tucked between two tall buildings, the atmosphere was quiet, the jazz music playing low, the faint clinking of glass echoing from the counter.

Princewill sat in a secluded booth near the back, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

He had already ordered two glasses of whisky, one for himself, the other for Nath

  • CHAPTER 149

    The weekend came as though there were no hurdles. The late afternoon light slanted through the tall windows of Luisa Payne’s penthouse, casting long amber streaks across the marble floor. The city below hummed softly, Luisa sat poised on one end of the white sofa, her silk blouse glowing faintly under the sunlight. She was the picture of grace and control… every gesture precise, every breath measured. Across from her sat Steven, his expression unreadable, his presence magnetic yet calm, like a storm that had learned to hide behind clear skies. Their conversation had been deep, shadowed by secrets and mutual curiosity. “You built quite a name, Mrs. Payne,” Steven said in that smooth, even tone of his, each word weighed carefully, each glance deliberate. “The Payne Foundation’s network runs deeper than most realize. You know that.” Luisa smiled faintly, crossing one leg over the other. “Flattery won’t work on me, Mr. Kahuna,” she said, the faintest smirk playing on her l

  • CHAPTER 148

    Nathaniel took the card carefully. The surface shimmered like oil under light, and as he pressed his thumb to it, a soft holographic glow appeared, a blue pulse that shaped itself into text. “Mr. Brown, I’ve reviewed your recent system protocols, efficient and very reliable. I am pleased. Continue this path. Stability requires men who see order, not ghosts.” Nathaniel read it twice. For a man who never showed his face, Kahuna’s words carried weight, every syllable felt deliberate, edged with power and quiet command. Princewill watched him with a knowing look. “You’ve earned his notice. That’s not something you want to waste.” Nathaniel nodded slowly. “I wasn’t expecting… praise.” “Neither was I,” Princewill said, smiling faintly. “But you deserve it. The new data clusters you implemented increased system efficiency by twenty-three percent. Kahuna noticed that. He notices everything.” Nathaniel studied the flickering holographic message one last time before it faded fro

  • CHAPTER 147

    The elevator doors slid shut behind Kahuna with a soft hiss that sounded too final. The air in the corridor still vibrated with tension... the kind that clung to the skin and refused to leave. The metallic tang of blood lingered, sharp and suffocating. Princewill exhaled quietly, holstering his gun. “Let’s go,” he said. Nathaniel didn’t move. His eyes were fixed on Adrian’s body, the lifeless man who had claimed to know the truth. “He was telling the truth about something,” Nathaniel murmured. “He had to be. The way he looked at me… he wasn’t just crazy.” Princewill’s tone was steady but cold. “You think that because you’re still seeing him as a man. Don’t. He stopped being one a long time ago.” “But...” “Enough.” Princewill’s voice cut through the silence, low and sharp. “Do not test me tonight, Nathaniel, you are my friend from back in the day, trust me, don't push it.” Nathaniel’s jaw tightened, but he followed as Princewill led him back toward the elevator. W

  • CHAPTER 146

    The elevator doors slid open with a faint hiss, revealing only dim light and a corridor lined with smooth steel. Nathaniel’s pulse pounded in his ears as he stepped inside. “Basement… level 0,” he muttered, staring at the keypad. There was no such button. Then, just as he was about to turn back, the lights flickered, once, twice and a new option blinked to life on the panel: “B0—Restricted.” His breath caught. “What the hell…” He pressed it. The elevator groaned, descending lower than he’d ever gone. The hum grew heavier, the air colder. When it stopped, the doors opened into darkness. A figure stood waiting. “Mr. Brown,” a voice said, the same voice from the message. “You came.” Nathaniel stepped out slowly. “Who are you?” The man’s face was half-hidden beneath the flicker of a failing light. He looked older, worn out, eyes sunken, movements restless. “Once, I was one of them. Like you. But I saw what they really do here.” Nathaniel frowned. “You mean Kahu

    Nathaniel hesitated. “Truth about what?” “About yourself. About DIB. About what you’d do when power asks you to choose between survival and conscience.” Nathaniel looked down, his voice low. “I just wanted a second chance at life.” “No one gets second chances,” the Founder replied. “Only new chains.” Nathaniel looked up, anger flaring. “So this is another prison?” The Founder chuckled quietly. “Not a prison but a purpose.” The walls flickered suddenly, turning into transparent glass. Beneath the chamber, hundreds of levels of the Kahuna Tower glowed each one filled with operatives, data analysts, global surveillance grids, and digital command networks. “This,” said the Founder, “is the empire you now belong to. Governments call us myth… corporations call us gods. And every transaction, every war, every scandal you read… passes through this tower before it hits the world.” Nathaniel stared, stunned. “You control everything.” “We don’t control,” the Founder corr

  • CHAPTER 144

    The elevator ride to the 99th floor felt longer this time. The silence between the guards was heavier than words. When the doors opened, Princewill was waiting, standing by the large panoramic window again, his back turned to the room. “Nathaniel,” he said, his tone unreadable. “Sit.” Nathaniel obeyed, though every nerve in his body screamed that something was wrong. Princewill turned slowly, holding a tablet… his expression calm, almost too calm. “Care to explain this?” He slid the tablet across the table. On the screen was the transmission file — the same one with Nathaniel’s ID. Nathaniel’s stomach twisted. “That’s not mine. I didn’t send that file.” Princewill raised a brow. “Really? Because our system says otherwise.” “I swear, Princewill, I found it in the archive. Someone planted it. Someone inside.” Princewill studied him carefully. “You’re saying you’ve been framed?” “Yes.” Princewill exhaled, walking around the table to stand beside him. “You realize
