CHAPTER 1
Tech and Tension
Everyone on campus knew Adrian Base.
Not because he tried to be known, but because his name moved faster than he did.
Founder before graduation.
Investor before twenty-five.
The kind of rich that didn’t announce itself, just arrived and made space without asking.
When Adrian walked into the innovation hall that evening, conversations lowered instinctively. People straightened. Smiles sharpened.
This was his world: ideas with funding, ambition with backing, success already halfway guaranteed.
He took a seat in the second row, posture relaxed, expression unreadable. He wasn’t here to be impressed. He rarely was.
