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
CHAPTER 145
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
CHAPTER 143
The connection snapped. The screen returned to normal. Nathaniel leaned back, his breath shaky. Sweat clung to his temple. His intercom buzzed suddenly. “Mr. Brown,” a voice said, calm and corporate. “CEO Princewill requests your presence… now.” He stood slowly, his heart still hammering. “On my way.” As the elevator doors slid shut again, his reflection stared back at him, he was more like a man caught between two worlds. When the elevator opened on the 99th floor, Princewill was waiting. His expression was unreadable. “You touched something you shouldn’t have,” he said quietly. Nathaniel froze. “I… I didn’t mean to. It was…” Princewill’s gaze darkened. “He spoke to you, didn’t he?” Nathaniel hesitated, then nodded. “Yes.” Princewill sighed, stepping closer. “Then remember what I tell you now.” His tone was firm, deliberate. “Kahuna sees everything. You don’t look for him. You wait for him to find you. That’s how you survive here.” Nathaniel swallowed hard. “I u
CHAPTER 142
One month after the whole issues with DIB, Nathaniel was about to resume his first day at work with Kahuna Empire. He stood before the mirrored glass of the Kahuna Empire, a tower high as though rising towards the clouds. It was silent and intimidating like the faceless man behind its name. The building was everything he’d heard and more; towering, silent, cold, and alive. Even from the outside, it pulsed with invisible energy… money, power, and fear. He swallowed hard. A month ago, he’d been crawling out of the ruins of DIB, hunted, hated on, and forgotten. Now, he was about to walk into a new empire. An empire that owned governments, dictated economies, and made enemies disappear quietly. Princewill’s voice replayed in his mind — calm and persuasive, the same voice that had dragged him from his own grave. “Nathaniel, you’ve been freed, but freedom has a price. The Kahuna Empire doesn’t give chances twice, your loyalty is what is needed here.” The glass doors s
