CHAPTER 14: THE DIGITAL PURGE
Panic exploded across the main research lab at Starburst Tech.Alarm klaxons blared overhead, flashing bright red lights across dozens of frozen computer terminals.Engineers ran frantically back and forth, screaming at one another as error messages flooded every screen."The master backups are zeroed out!" a technician shrieked, tearing at his hair."The local drives are completely fried! Everything is gone!"The rogue lead architect, a man named Marcus, stood near the central server rack.He was holding a wiped flash drive, trying to blend into the chaos with a fake look of horror on his face.Suddenly, the heavy glass doors of the lab slid open.Aren rolled smoothly into the room in his electric wheelchair, his presence instantly silencing the room.Xavier marched right behind him, his icy glare locked directly onto Marcus."Mr. Greyson!" David, the lead systems engineer, cried out in despair."It’s a disaster! Someone executed a root-level purge command! Fifteen days of work just
CHAPTER 13: SHADOWS OF THE MAYBACH
Jasmine scrambled across the wet pavement, her hands slipping against the cold concrete."Aren! Wait! Stop the car!" she screamed into the roaring storm.She took two frantic steps toward the moving Maybach, reaching out a trembling hand.Before her fingers could touch the sleek black bumper, two venue security guards grabbed her roughly by her arms.They yanked her backward, pinning her against the wet metal railing."Stay back, you crazy woman!" the head guard barked, shoving her down onto the sidewalk."That is a custom, five-hundred-thousand-dollar luxury Maybach!""If you scratch that paint, you will spend the rest of your life in prison!"Jasmine hit the wet ground hard, rain soaking straight through her ruined dress.She wiped her wet hair from her eyes, watching the red taillights vanish into the dark city streets.A cold, bitter laugh escaped her throat as she sat alone in the mud."What am I thinking?" Jasmine whispered to herself, her voice shaking violently."Aren is a use
CHAPTER 12: THE HONEYPOT TRAP
Nikolai Wynn leaned back in his leather swivel chair on the top floor of Wynn Corporation.He swirled a glass of fifty-year-old scotch, a triumphant grin stretched across his face.On the glass conference table in front of him lay a thick, bound document stamped with an official patent application seal."Is the file fully secure?" Nikolai asked, looking up at his chief technical officer."Yes, Mr. Wynn," the technician replied, nodding eagerly."Our informant inside Starburst Tech delivered the complete blueprint of Aren Greyson's core energy logic.""It is a masterwork of software engineering."Nikolai let out a loud, mocking laugh that echoed through the private executive suite."That helpless cripple actually thought he could build an empire from a wheelchair," Nikolai sneered."He spent years writing this code, and now it belongs entirely to Wynn Corporation.""With this patent locked down, Starburst Tech will be dead before their public grid test even begins."Nikolai took a slow
CHAPTER 11: THE 30-DAY CRUNCH
Aren sat in his electric wheelchair at the head of the main glass conference room.Empty coffee cups and half-eaten takeaway boxes covered the table.Twelve exhausted engineers sat before him, their eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep.They had spent two full weeks trying to build the core software for Starburst Tech.Progress had completely stopped."Look at the main screen," Aren said calmly.He touched the joystick on his wheelchair and pressed a side panel button.The digital display lit up with a messy web of complex computer code."This is why your platform keeps crashing," Aren explained."You built a giant maze instead of a straight path.""When peak electrical current hits the grid, the software locks up."The lead engineer, David, rubbed his face tiredly."Mr. Greyson, we have worked on this code for six months," David said weakly."We only have thirty days left until the public grid test.""We are not throwing everything away," Aren replied.He rolled his wheelchair forward t
Chapter 10: The First Order
Aren sat at the head of the long glass table inside Starburst Tech's top-floor boardroom. The fired directors were already gone, but the remaining ten executives sat in uneasy silence. They shifted in their chairs, stealing nervous glances at the young man sitting before them. They knew he had just paid off the company's forty-million-dollar debt with a single phone call. But looking at his simple clothes, nobody understood who he really was. Xavier stood quietly behind Aren's chair, holding a thick leather file. Aren opened the financial report on the table and flipped through the pages. The numbers were disastrous. Even with the debt cleared, Starburst Tech was bleeding money. Revenue had dropped by seventy percent over the last six months. Their primary artificial intelligence software project had been abandoned halfway through development. To make matters worse, three of their biggest corporate clients had already canceled their contracts and signed with rival firms. Vice P
Chapter 9: The Total Collapse
The gravel driveway of the Richards mansion was blocked by three heavy black trucks. A group of stern men in dark suits stepped through the grand front doors, carrying clipboards, rolls of red sealing tape, and official legal notices. Helen and Paul had barely returned from the restaurant, their clothes rumpled and Helen's broken shoe dragging against the pavement, when they saw the scene. "What is the meaning of this?!" Helen shrieked, her raw voice cracking as she rushed toward the front entrance. "Get out of my house! Get your dirty hands off my door!" A sharp-eyed man stepping down the stone stairs pulled a thick document from his leather coat. "Helen Richards?" the chief bailiff asked coldly. "This property, along with all private bank accounts, vehicles, and real estate assets registered under the Richards family, has been officially frozen by court order." "Frozen?!" Paul gasped, clutching his chest as he stumbled up behind his wife. "You can't freeze our house
