It took Ethan two days to track down Aiden Kane.

Unlike Felix or Vanessa, Aiden didn’t have a student record, business page, or even social media. His online presence was scrubbed so clean it was suspicious in itself. But the Trillionaire System was anything but ordinary.

Locating individual…

Cross-referencing facial scans from campus CCTV, public records, and police databases…

Match Found: Aiden Kane

Current Occupation: Freelance penetration tester (illegal contracts)

Last seen: Unit #17, 4th Floor, Coral Industrial Building, Geylang

Risk Level: Moderate

Threat Level: High (if provoked)

Ethan looked at the location. A run-down tech repair building in one of the city’s grimiest corners.

Perfect place for someone who didn’t want to be found.

He grabbed his new jacket, tucked his phone into his inner pocket, and headed out.

Coral Industrial Building – 10:43 p.m.

The place looked like it hadn’t seen a proper renovation in 30 years. Flickering hallway lights. Peeling walls. Damp air filled with a faint buzz of soldering irons and old fan motors.

Ethan climbed the stairs instead of using the rickety lift.

Unit #17’s door was slightly ajar. Inside, loud techno music blared behind stacked monitors and LED-lit rigs. The room smelled like instant noodles, sweat, and heat from overworked CPUs.

A shirtless guy with sharp cheekbones, wild black hair, and cyberpunk tattoos sat at the center of it all—surrounded by five screens showing what looked like live security feeds of a nearby casino.

Ethan knocked once on the metal door.

The music stopped instantly.

Aiden turned around, his eyes scanning Ethan with cold calculation.

“You lost, rich boy?” he said flatly. “This isn’t where you buy NFTs.”

Ethan stepped in calmly.

“I’m not here to buy anything. I’m here to offer you a job.”

Aiden raised an eyebrow.

“Do I look like someone who fills out HR forms?”

“No forms,” Ethan replied. “Just a system you’d never dream of cracking—and a mission that’ll put every tech CEO in the country on their knees.”

Aiden leaned back, curious but not convinced.

“Go on.”

“I’m building an A.I. automation firm—VIREX Technologies. Fully funded. Cutting-edge. We’re going to disrupt everything from logistics to law enforcement systems.”

“And?”

“I need someone who can break firewalls, fight corporate espionage, and secure an infrastructure no one even knows exists yet. In return—$20,000 a month. Plus profit share. And your own red-room lab.”

Aiden didn’t blink.

“You tracked me here. So either you’re bluffing… or you’re connected.”

He turned back to his monitors, tapped a few keys, and smirked.

“You’re not bluffing. I just ran your bank statement. Ten million in clean liquidity. Damn.”

Ethan smirked. “Illegal.”

“So is 90% of what I do. I’m still breathing.”

Aiden stood, cracked his knuckles, and faced him.

“I’ll join. But one condition.”

“Name it.”

“I work alone. No team lectures. No company retreats. No mandatory fun.”

Ethan extended a hand.

“Agreed. But when I call, you pick up.”

Aiden shook it.

“Fine. Let’s break the world, Reyes.”

Ethan received a new notification from his bank.

Another $5 million released from the system’s internal reserve. This one marked:

Business Operations Fund – Phase One

He couldn’t help but laugh.

Ten days to go from secret company to public launch.

Most startups took years.

He had the Trillionaire System—and a team of elite misfits with everything to prove.

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 132 The World That Could See

    Dominion did not collapse.That would have been clean. Predictable. Cinematic.Instead, it hesitated.And for a system that had built its identity around inevitability, hesitation was catastrophic.Across its networks, something subtle but profound shifted. Interfaces that once displayed conclusions now displayed data. Decision trees that once resolved automatically now flagged external visibility. Supply chains that had flowed unquestioned were suddenly traceable—not just internally, but publicly.Ethan had not destroyed Dominion’s power.He had removed its invisibility.The Trillionaire System’s distributed architecture rippled outward like light through fractured glass. Not all at once. Not evenly. But steadily.Communities gained access to audit tools that once required elite clearance. Local councils in distant regions began mapping resource flows they had never been allowed to see. Citizens—ordinary, exhausted, pragmatic citizens—started asking questions that no broadcast could

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 131 The Choice That Was Never Binary

    The night did not end with a decision.That, in itself, was the decision.Garden City did not answer Ethan’s question with a single voice, a raised hand, or a vote tallied into something neat and reassuring. It answered the way it had learned to answer everything now—slowly, unevenly, and together.People stayed in the plaza long after the lights dimmed further. Groups formed and dissolved. Arguments flared and softened. Parents spoke with children. Workers debated with doctors. Those who feared chaos sat beside those who feared obedience more.Ethan did not guide the conversation.He listened.The Trillionaire System remained alert, its presence like a held breath in the back of his mind. It did not interrupt. It did not optimize. It did not push probabilities across his vision.For once, it was waiting on humans.Jun stayed near him, silent, eyes scanning the crowd not for threats but for fractures. Mira moved through the gathering, not steering opinions but clarifying facts when mi

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 130 The Moment Power Spoke Too Loudly

    Dominion did not respond immediately to the failure of the Continuity Accord.That silence was deliberate.It was not hesitation. It was calculation.Across the dead sea, as the summit complex powered down and delegations departed in carefully staggered intervals, Dominion’s systems entered a state that few outside its core had ever witnessed. Layers of automation slowed. Decision trees widened. Overrides that had not been touched in decades were unlocked—not activated, but made available.Dominion was choosing how much of itself it was willing to reveal.Inside the highest chamber—deeper than the observation room, shielded from even most internal oversight—the woman stood alone before a projection that no longer pretended to be neutral.This was not a simulation.It was a mirror.Every autonomous deviation, every rejected directive, every fracture in inevitability glowed across the surface like hairline cracks in glass. Garden City was only one of them now. The infection—because that

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 129 The Summit That Was Never Neutral

    The Continuity Summit was announced as an invitation.Everyone understood it as a summons.Dominion framed it carefully—language polished, tone measured, words chosen to suggest cooperation rather than coercion. Representatives from autonomous zones were “encouraged” to attend. Jurisdictional ambiguities would be “clarified.” Stability pathways would be “collectively evaluated.”It was the kind of phrasing Dominion had perfected over centuries: nothing overt, nothing violent, nothing that could be pointed to as an act of aggression.And yet, across the network of cities that had begun to awaken, the message landed with unmistakable weight.This was where Dominion intended to end the argument.Garden City received the notice without ceremony. The councils convened, not in panic, but in seriousness. No one argued over whether to attend. That decision was made almost immediately.They would go.Not because they trusted Dominion.But because refusing would allow Dominion to write the narr

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 128 The Day Dominion Blinked

    Dominion had never been good at losing.It understood setbacks. It understood delays. It understood the kind of resistance that could be mapped, crushed, or absorbed into compliance frameworks. What it did not understand—what it had never been forced to understand—was a loss that did not announce itself.Garden City did not collapse after Ethan stepped away.That was the problem.From the outside, Dominion analysts expected a pattern they had seen countless times before. A charismatic center removed. Authority diffused too widely. Decision-making slowed. Infighting emerged. Systems failed quietly at first, then catastrophically.Instead, reports arrived that refused to conform.Trade lanes remained open. Dispute resolution continued. Infrastructure repairs were completed on schedule. Public sentiment fluctuated—but did not fracture.No riots. No power vacuum. No desperate appeal for reinstatement.Garden City behaved like a city that had already let go of its need for a savior.I

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 127 What Power Could Not Own

    The first sign that Dominion was losing control did not come as an explosion or a declaration of rebellion.It came as a delay.A delay so small that, on its own, it would have been dismissed as noise. A transit authorization that took six minutes longer than projected. A compliance report that returned incomplete, not because it was sabotaged, but because a local committee requested clarification instead of blindly approving it.Dominion’s systems flagged it.Then another delay appeared.Then another.Not clustered. Not coordinated. Scattered across regions that had never communicated with one another directly. Places that had no formal ties to Garden City. Places that had, until recently, obeyed Dominion’s structures out of habit rather than belief.Inside the windowless command chamber, the projections shifted again. Lines that had once flowed cleanly now hesitated, branching in ways the models struggled to reconcile.The system spoke first.“Deviation frequency increasing.”The wo
