Chapter 103: A Suffocating Victory
Nathan let out a short, dry laugh. He actually found it funny.“A thief?” Nathan asked, shaking his head in amusement. “You know, Mark, in my version of the story, things look a little different. In my version, you are the thief. You stole my sanity and my dignity for two years, bullying me every single day in the hallways. Then, you literally stole my invention to show off to the world.”Nathan glanced at Amanda, then back to Mark.“And then you say I want to steal your girlfriend? Oh, wait,” Nathan corrected himself, tapping his chin mockingly. “You don't steal people. They come to you willingly when they have a reason to. Just like she came to you. She wanted the fancy cars and your daddy's money.”Nathan smiled, a cold, empty smile that made Mark’s stomach drop but his temperature rise.“But here is the real question, Mark. What happens when there is no longer a reason to stay? What happens when the billions disappear and you are just a regular guy with a failed project? Would she
Chapter 102: "I Loved You"
The day went pretty well for Nathan. He had finally gotten back his baby, even though he no longer had legal right to his invention, he had legal control over it, and he would be able to make decisions regarding the machine. The hall was soon emptied. Dr. Sage and his emissaries had gone. It felt amusing speaking to his father like some distant trillionaire with no relation between them. Still everyone now treated him with respect, honor and reverence. He gloated as Mrs. Shawn walked up to him, looking pale, like she had seen a ghost.“Walters, I… I am proud of you. You make Braxton proud,” she told him, extending her hand for a shake like he was now a very important person.Nathan shook her hand, “Please, I am only a student, Mrs. Shawn.” he responded amicably, his humility taking precedence.A few other important persons walked up to Nathan one by one, wanting to invite him for a project or get in contact with him, some already even offering huge sums of money for him to drop out o
Chapter 101: The Mercy Of A King
The deafening roar of the crowd had finally faded. Most of the students were rushing away from the window, out into the campus courtyard to celebrate the massive funding announcement.The grand convocation hall, which had been vibrating with energy just moments ago, suddenly felt vast and hollow.Only a handful of people remained. A few tech scouts were quietly packing up their briefcases in the front rows. A couple of lingering students hid in the shadows near the back exits, holding up their phones to record whatever happened next.And standing right in the center of the brightly lit stage were the main players.Dr. Sage Walters did not ask anyone to step into a private back room. He did not care who was watching. He leaned heavily on his silver cane, his sharp eyes locked entirely on Principal Jeffery Epstein.Epstein was sweating right through his tailored suit. His knees were practically knocking together. He looked at Sage, then at the giant, Dwayne, who had stepped up onto the
Chapter 100: The Paper Trail
"Who invented the Quantum Machine?"Dr. Sage Walters’ voice cut through the convocation hall like a frozen blade. The silence that followed was so absolute, you could hear the sound of the air conditioning units in the ceiling.Principal Jeffery Epstein was visibly shaking. The sweat on his forehead caught the bright stage lights, making him look like a cornered animal. He looked at the tech scouts, the federal agents, the investors, and finally at his son, Mark, who was currently staring at the floor in pure terror.There was no way out. The truth was standing right there, bathed in the blue glow of the unlocked machine."Dr. Sage..." Epstein stammered, wiping his brow with a trembling hand. "I... I must confess. It is true. Nathan Walters is the primary architect of the core system. He is a brilliant boy. A prodigy."A loud murmur rippled through the audience. The admission was out. The "Chicken Boy" was the genius all along.But Epstein was a scavenger. He never went down without t
Chapter 99: Machiavellain
“Dad,” Mark whispered, grabbing his father’s arm. “You gotta do something. You gotta do something now or we are both FUCKIN cooked. He’s taking everything!”Principal Epstein didn't respond for a moment. He was watching the ovation, his brain working at a fever pitch. He saw the way Dr. Sage was looking at the boy. He saw the way the feds in the room were nodding.Then, like a predator seeing a narrow opening, Epstein rushed back to the center of the stage. He forced a wide, toothy smile —a smile that looked more like a grimace.“Thank you! Thank you, everyone!” Epstein shouted, waving his hands to quiet the crowd. “Much appreciated! Nathan, thank you for that... colorful explanation.”The clapping died down, replaced by a tense, curious murmur.“Now, I know... I know you are all wondering what is going on,” Epstein said, his voice smooth and oily. “And I’ve got to say, this is all on me. This bright young man right here is more than just a janitor. I admit, I had no single idea of th
Chapter 98: Truth Be Told
Dwyane carved a slight smile at the corner of his lips, winking his eye quickly at Nathan, too quick for anyone to notice. And Dr. Sage, he just maintained his gaze like before. But this time, he appeared more relaxed. Everyone who was watching him could notice the difference. His shoulders were more slumped back and his head was now resting on the head rest. And from the far end, Grayson just slightly shook his head, a nod of approval. Their plan had worked out perfectly. Mark noticed the subtle exchange between both men and it made sense now to him. “You.. you did this!” Mark whispered. “You planned this with him. You let him go!”“This is a game, Mark. And I just wanted to be on the winning side. Besides, don’t act like I didn’t warn you. And don’t act like your father wasn’t going to behead me after this was all over.” Nathan, finally grabbing everyone’s attention continued, “I am sure you are all wondering what’s up. A random guy walks into a highly classified meeting to pract
