CHAPTER 363
“We are gathered in this remarkable day not only for the purpose of observing a ceremony but because today marks a important day in the future of the state.”“…..the office which Alan Greyson has been called does not belong to one person but to the people.”“In a moment, Alan would take an oath and be legally brought into the office as the 47th governor of the State. This decision is binding in all manner of disposition.”In about four minutes, it was finally time for the oath.Alan raised his right hand deliberately, his right hand remaining squared as he maintained a steady posture beneath the courtroom lights.The Chief Justice began. “Repeat after me, and let these words bind you in honor and in verity and in law.”“I, Alan, input your last name, do solemnly affirm.”Alan repeated. “I, Alan Greyson, do solemnly affirm.”“That I will uphold the Constition of the Unity States and of this State.”“That I will uphold the Constition of the Unity States and of this State,” Alan repeated
CHAPTER 362
Alan’s hands tightened at his sides and every nerve was on edge. “What news do we have again? Good or bad, someone speaks to me.”Alan’s breath was heaving rapidly, overcoming his attempts to maintain some composure.“…sir, every news outlet is reporting it. Oh my God! It's everywhere. You’ve been declared the governor sir. It's everywhere - on TV, radio, social media, everyone’s calling it.”Alan froze, his mind going completely blank. He felt as if the ground had shifted beneath him. What could that be! A governor? How? From where? It had to be a mistake. How could it be?A member of his team continued. “Sir, the reports are escalating. You have been declared the governor. The story is spreading faster than anyone can respond.”This operation’s crew let out a smooth smirk as if ready to do the needful until one of them, Rebecca finally spoke up.“—-congratulations, Governor Alan,” she said, stretching out a hand with a smile on her face.But this was all too strange for Alan. He cou

“Sir, we are getting classified feeds that several wings are simultaneously affected. Staff is trapped, security team isn't responding, everything is a mess.”Alan’s lips pressed into a thin line. “So, you are saying they are deliberately controlling the building from inside?”“Yes sir,” a member of the team responded. “Whoever it is, whoever is behind this is creating chaos inside while bypassing normal emergency overrides.”Just as Alan was taking a deep breath to absorb the situation, a team member pointed to a red zone flashing on the tablet. “Alan’s there is an urgent update!”“What's that?” Alan was livid with suspense.“The governor and several cabinet members are trapped in one of the wings. It's very serious in there sir. Smoke is filling the corridors and evacuation efforts are being blocked.”“How? Why can't they all just evacuate the premises? Is this the work of the hackers too?” Alan asked.“Of course, sir. It's an automated security lockdown and no one has an idea how t

“Yeah, I smell it. It could be overheating. Let’s give it some time.”“Yeah, yeah, let’s not rush it. If we push it now and something worse happens, we will have no chance to leave here.”“Let’s better slow it down and make sure everything’s in perfect condition.”“Sir, I’m just saying we don’t want to take any risks…we will just double-check everything and I am sure we will get going soon enough.”Alan clenched his jaw, his patience thinning with every shaky excuse they threw at him. He let out a slow, sharp sigh that revealed his inner condition. He was both disappointed, angry, and irritated. Nothing was going to quench his emotion at that point and he was having a great deal trying to maintain some composure.Alan’s team held their quiet deception firm. Things were going as they had carefully thought out and they were expecting the news they were waiting for to arrive.They knew it was only a matter of time before there was going to be a big breaking news at the Capitol and at le

“It’s the same here,” said an economic adviser, glancing nervously at his tablet. “It’s not only you. It’s everywhere - I think something is happening. Something is at play here. Look, the big screens are also showing strange figures. Something is definitely happening.”The junior delegate was more confused and terrified. “No—-no—this can’t be happening. This is the only version that I have. I don’t have any other copy of this file. I received it just a moment ago.”“This file is my whole life. I can’t have it just vanish like this. Someone has to do something. Where are the IT specialists? Someone has to correct this.”In another sector of the hall, a lobbyist leaned toward her companion, whispering sharply. “Is someone manipulating the system?”“It can’t be,” the companion responded. “It’s not possible. We can’t have this at such a high-level event. His eyes flicked towards the IT corner, watching monitors flash red and blue.Tablets in the hall read: [Backups failing! No alerts v
CHAPTER 358
Alan’s jaw tightened as he wondered what could be the reason behind it.Seated in the front seat just beside his personal driver, he lowered the device onto his lap and looked out the window for a second. The engine hummed steadily as Alan tried to refresh the page again. He had to be online so that he could be kept updated with everything that was happening at the summit.But there was still nothing after Alan refreshed the page. “Now, this is serious,” Alan said calmly. “Is this a deliberate move or something. How can I be locked out of network access at this time? It’s impossible.”Alan’s team stayed quiet as they avoided eye contact with each other.Alan turned his gaze to his team, his face contorted with a slight frown. “What’s going on here?”Everyone else seemed to have had something zip their mouths. “Errm, sir, I think we will get over this soon.”“Get over this?” Alan’s frown was more obvious.Just as Alan was still dealing with the network issue, the vehicle started maki
