Chapter 108 - 109: The Traitor Game

Roy Global Headquarters — Blackout Mode

Darkness covered the entire tower.

Only emergency red lights flickered across the halls.

⏳ 14:32

The countdown kept moving.

Slow.

Cruel.

And Adrian's voice still echoed in everyone's minds:

"FIND THE TRAITOR BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT."

💥 Panic Begins

Nobody spoke at first.

Because the worst part wasn't the threat.

It was the doubt.

Everyone looked at everyone differently now.

Even tiny movements suddenly felt suspicious.

Rahul whispered nervously—

👉 "…I hate trust exercises."

Aryan answered immediately—

👉 "This is not a trust exercise."

A pause.

👉 "This is psychological terrorism."

Honestly—

more accurate.

😈 Adrian's Strategy Works

Inside the command room—

tension exploded quickly.

Arjun looked directly at Aisha.

👉 "You worked for Adrian."

Aisha crossed her arms instantly.

👉 "Past tense."

Riya stepped in sharply.

👉 "Enough."

But the damage already started.

Because Adrian understood something terrifying:

People don't need proof to distrust each other.

Only fear.

❤️ Sumit Refuses the Trap

Everyone turned toward Sumit eventually.

Waiting.

Watching.

Because leaders decide whether fear spreads or stops.

He stayed silent for several seconds.

Thinking carefully.

Then calmly spoke:

👉 "Adrian wants us divided."

A pause.

👉 "So we do the opposite."

Simple.

But powerful.

Because panic only works when people abandon each other.

😂 Funny Moment — Rahul Makes It Worse

Rahul slowly raised one hand.

👉 "…Hypothetically…"

Everyone already looked annoyed.

👉 "If there IS a traitor…"

A pause.

👉 "…can they betray us after breakfast instead?"

Even in darkness—

Aisha laughed once accidentally.

Then immediately looked irritated at herself for laughing.

Rahul pointed dramatically—

👉 "See? I heal people emotionally."

Veer replied without looking up—

👉 "You are the reason hackers drink coffee aggressively."

💥 The Hunt Begins

The team split across the tower carefully.

Arjun and Riya searched lower floors.

Veer and Aisha traced internal access logs.

Rahul and Aryan monitored cameras.

While Sumit and Sangita headed toward the central server core.

The building felt wrong now.

Too quiet.

Too empty.

Like Roy Global itself had become a chessboard.

❤️ Emotional Moment — Elevator Scene

Inside an emergency elevator—

silence surrounded Sumit and Sangita briefly.

Then Sangita quietly asked:

👉 "Do you trust everyone here?"

Honest question.

Dangerous question.

Sumit stared at the flickering elevator lights.

👉 "I trust what they choose when things become difficult."

A pause.

👉 "That matters more than perfect pasts."

Sangita smiled softly.

Because despite everything—

he still believed people could choose better.

And maybe—

that was exactly why Adrian found him fascinating.

😨 Veer Finds Something

Meanwhile—

inside the surveillance room—

Veer suddenly froze.

"…No way."

Aisha turned immediately.

"What?"

Veer replayed security footage repeatedly.

Frame by frame.

Then zoomed in.

A figure secretly entering restricted zones earlier that evening.

Face hidden.

Movement careful.

But one detail became visible.

A Roy Global access badge.

Internal employee.

The traitor was real.

💥 Crowns Attack

Suddenly—

all emergency lights died again.

Darkness.

Then—

gunfire exploded across Floor 32.

Rahul screamed through comms—

👉 "WHY ARE WE ALWAYS GETTING SHOT AT DURING IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS?!"

A masked Crown operative crashed through the surveillance room glass instantly.

Fight erupted immediately.

Aryan tackled one operative into a monitor.

Rahul threw a chair dramatically—

and somehow actually hit someone.

👉 "SEE?! I AM TACTICALLY USEFUL!"

Nobody had time to respond.

😈 Adrian Watches Everything

Elsewhere—

inside a hidden control room—

Adrian Cross calmly watched live feeds from Roy Global.

Every hallway.

Every conversation.

Every emotional reaction.

Lucien stood beside him quietly.

👉 "You could've destroyed them already."

Adrian's expression remained calm.

👉 "That's easy."

A pause.

👉 "Breaking people properly takes time."

Cold silence followed.

Because Adrian didn't just want victory.

He wanted transformation.

💔 Final Discovery

Back in the server core—

Sumit and Sangita finally reached the main database.

Veer sent the recovered access logs immediately.

Sumit opened the file.

Employee ID: RG-117

Name revealed slowly on-screen.

Everyone froze.

Because it was someone impossible.

Someone trusted completely.

RIYA SEN

Silence exploded across comms.

Riya herself froze upstairs.

"What…?"

Arjun immediately turned toward her.

Shock everywhere.

Even Rahul stopped joking completely.

And then—

Adrian's voice echoed softly through the tower one final time:

"Now the real game begins." 👑

⏳ 04:59

🔥 FINAL LINE

The countdown continued.

Trust shattered instantly.

And for the first time—

even Sumit Roy didn't know who to believe anymore. 🔥😈
