Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 226

The lights of the Helix Global Convention Hall blazed like a manufactured sunrise.

Everything here right now had been designed in such a way that the first thing that would come to mind when one looked at it was,

Innovation.

Every inch of the stage had been set up for maximum impact, and a massive title rotating slowly on the screen.

HELIX TECH — THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL DEFENSE

Journalists filled the front rows, cameras already rolling. Investors sat just behind them, expressions carefully neutral but eyes sharp with expectation. Representatives from governments and private security firms occupied the VIP section, whispering quietly among themselves.

This wasn't just a product launch.

It was a declaration of war.

Backstage, the mood couldn't have been more different.

Sweat clung to collars. Ties were loosened. Tablets were gripped too tightly.

"Status," the Helix Tech director demanded, voice low but his nerves were clearly showing.

A technician swallowed. "System stability at ninety-two percent. Predictive module… still simulated."

The director closed his eyes for half a second.

"That's good enough," he said. "We go live."

Because there was no other choice.

The Collector stood in the shadows near the back wall, arms crossed, face unreadable.

His gaze flicked briefly to a private display in his peripheral vision, streams of data flowing far too smoothly, exactly as he wanted.

Tick tock, he thought.

On stage, the CEO of Helix Global stepped forward as the lights dimmed.

The crowd fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, voice rich with confidence, "over the past few months, the world has witnessed a revolution in cybersecurity."

The screen before them changed, forming the now-famous Sentinel emblem, then fractured and reassembled into something a lot more different.

"While some companies rushed to market unfinished miracles," he continued smoothly, "Helix Global unveils itself with a change in the world of cyber security."

The logo settled on the screen.

HELIX AEGIS

"We improved it."

A ripple of murmurs spread through the hall, the challenge in them doing this was very much obvious.

They weren't afraid to provoke OmniTech Corp.

"Our engineers have taken the core concepts behind next-generation adaptive cybersecurity and refined them. I guess you could say we strengthened and perfected them."

Behind the stage, several engineers flinched, that lie was so obvious but only to those that could see this back end mess on screen before them.

"Helix Aegis is not just reactive," the CEO said, gesturing as data of previous attacks that had been averted appeared on the screen. "It is anticipatory. It learns, It adapts. It evolves but most of all, it keeps your data, yours and yours only."

The screen showed cyberattacks dissolving before they could fully form.

Applause broke out though there were a few that were still hesitant, it was undoubtedly real.

"From corporate infrastructure to national defense networks, Helix Aegis represents the pinnacle of modern digital protection."

He smiled.

"And best of all? It's available starting today."

Cameras flashed.

Across the world, millions watched the live broadcast.

Most excited while others were skeptical, but what both parties had in common was the fact that they were curious.

Curious enough to see if this Helix Aegis would deliver on their promise, just as OmniTech had.

Ethan watched it all from his chair, one leg crossed over the other, chin resting lightly on his knuckles.

"Predictive, huh," he murmured.

"Helix Aegis is the answer to an increasingly dangerous digital world. We invite enterprises, governments, and individuals alike to step into a safer future, with Helix." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
