Chapter 5 - The Digital Proof

Gabriel aggressively ripped Julian's heavy, encrypted smartphone right out of his suit pocket.
He shoved the weeping adviser hard against the piano, keeping him completely pinned, while holding the phone up to Julian's face to force the biometric facial recognition scanner to unlock the device.
The screen instantly opened.
"No! Don't look at that!" Julian shrieked hysterically, violently thrashing his arms in a desperate, pathetic attempt to grab the phone back. But Gabriel was completely immovable.
Gabriel rapidly swiped through the encrypted files, entirely unleashing the brilliant, highly calculating intellect that made him the most dangerous man in the city. He didn't search for bank accounts first. He searched for medical records.
Within ten seconds, he found a massive, highly classified digital folder labeled Subject Override.
Gabriel opened the file. The cinematic realism of the terrifying revelation completely electrified the room.
Displayed perfectly on the glowing screen were highly detailed medical schematics. It wasn't a record of a car accident. It was a flawlessly documented surgical procedure.
"It's a military-grade neural suppressor," Gabriel read aloud, his deep voice trembling with a mixture of profound betrayal and apocalyptic rage. "A micro-device designed to intentionally suppress long-term memory recall and artificially induce psychological compliance. Manufactured by Silver Star Holdings."
Julian physically stopped breathing. His knees literally buckled, and he collapsed completely onto the expensive Persian rug, weeping in total, undeniable disgrace.
