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

“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
Chapter 97: A Great Comeback!
The eyes locked on Nathan numbered into over fifty plus.He was so commonplace, but remarkably, undeniably imposing at the same time. He did look like the janitor they once knew; still, he also did not look like someone who was worthy of stepping in through the doors of the hall and even more confusing, being connected to the Quantum machine.Amanda was only a few feet away, still standing helplessly on stage. Her terror had been sedated, but another panic began to surge through her veins as she stood on that stage. Her body felt numb, almost unable to carry the weight of reality boring right in front of her eyes.For a moment, her eyes connected with Nathan’s, staring at the guy who was bound to a chair in an old warehouse, the last time she saw him. Now, he was standing freely, like Jesus that had resurrected to life.From their end, Mark and his father shared the same disposition as Amanda, but theirs was mixed with much more horror. Epstein watched helplessly as Nathan calmly bega
Chapter 96: Tailspin
“What the FUCK do you mean you're done for?” Epstein’s hand snaked out, grabbing Grayson’s collar and jerking him forward. “Fix this right now or I swear to God, I will sever your fucking head off myself! You were paid to master this machine!”“I was paid to milk a genius,” Grayson spat back, his voice trembling. “But you can't milk a mind like Nathan’s. He didn't just build a computer; he built a fortress. And we’re on the outside. I tried to explain to Mark. This was not a part of the plan!”Suddenly, the hall went cold. It wasn't the air conditioning. It was the sound of a chair sliding back.Dr. Sage Walters stood up slowly. The murmurs died instantly. The silence that followed was heavier than the noise that preceded it. He looked up at the stage, where Mark was standing like a statue, sweat pouring down his face, and Amanda was trembling so hard her reflective gown seemed to shiver.“Technical difficulties are a fascinating thing,” Dr. Sage said. His voice was calm; terrifyingly
