Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 229

Helix Global was supposed to allow its failure, and blame everything on OmniTech,

But what the hell was this?

"We have a permit to investigate your labs, engineers and systems," a tall man said, "so please cooperate with us during this time."

During the past week, reports after reports of Helix Aegis' incompetence had been revealed.

At first, Helix tried to divert attention by blaming OmniTech for attempted cooperate sabotage.

The board's trust in the collector immediately plummeted, just as their public trust had.

The collector had promised to reveal evidence that OmniTech Corp was indeed connected to the Vigilants, but Ethan wasn't about to let that happen.

Fortunately, in hopes of seeing what Helix Aegis was capable of, the collector had also tried it on his systems.

This gave Athena full control over them, and destroying the evidence was as simple as formating his entire systems.

Now, he did have a couple backed up in the clouds, but he also had his passwords saved on his PC, which meant Athena had also easily been able to access those.

Even he hadn't seen any of this coming, he was sure that everything was in his control, but he had been proved otherwise.

And people like the collector, the moment their control starts slipping, so did their sanity, though it wouldn't surface just yet.

OmniTech had retaliated to the accusations, really really hard. They were still going with the narrative that they were willing to push the technology of this era faster.

Yet Helix Aegis had not only rejected that idea, they had also spit on it. It was also revealed that the base code they were using belonged to OmniTech Corp, which had been released a few weeks prior to Helix Aegis' release.

OmniTech Corp claimed that this was supposed to be a foundation with enough clues to eventually develop a completely functional Sentinel.

With that, they had solidified the fact that they were not gatekeepers, just pioneers willing to guide them into the future.

From that point on, everything just spiraled downwards. They had been hit with investigation after the other.

Somehow, the government had found out about their failure of a nanobot and that wouldn't have been an issue....if they weren't at the human experiment stage.

That was when Helix Aegis was finally and swiftly closed down.

And worst of all, the Collector couldn't stop it.

Every attempt to regain control only exposed how little he actually had left.

Helix Aegis, once their crown jewel, was torn apart in public, Independent analysts dissected its architecture live on streams with millions watching.

They didn't even need to dig deep as it all just revealed its own errors for all to see.

Hardcoded prediction modules, delayed response loops, a self correcting heuristic that only worked if the attacker behaved "logically."

"It doesn't adapt," one analyst said bluntly on air, "it only responds as much as its operator anticipates."

Another followed up, "And worse, its learning model is seeded. It can't evolve past its creator's assumptions."

That single sentence killed whatever credibility Helix Aegis still had.

Then came the final blow.
