Chapter 153 - The World Reacts

The storm had passed. But the world was still shaking.

The man who held the throne of wealth.

The man who brought darkness to its knees.

The man who stood like a god.

Now they knew. He was one and the same.

Boss. MRD.

A truth too heavy for the world to carry in silence.

Across the desert, the crowd stood in stunned awe. Their cheers had turned to breathless silence. Not from fear. Not from confusion. But from something deeper. Reverence.

Some stood motionless. Others looked at each other, trying to confirm they had all just witnessed the same impossible truth.

Then, like a spark igniting dry wood, a roar rose.

Not from one man.

Not from one place.

But from every corner of the Earth.

News studios scrambled. Reporters screamed into microphones. Producers yelled over live feeds. Satellite trucks overloaded. Every screen flashed the same headline.

"The Boss Is MRD – The Man Who Owns Half the World Is the Man Who Destroyed Its Darkness."

In a high-tech broadcast room in New York, a seasoned anchor removed his earpiece mid-sentence. His eyes wet. His voice shaking.

"I… I don't even know how to report this."

In India, a young journalist stood outside a crowded chai shop where a hundred people were glued to the screen. She held her mic to a group of workers.

"What do you think about this man, this Boss, this MRD?"

A rickshaw driver answered first.

"We thought he was just a fighter. A warrior. But after that storm… that shockwave… that was not human. That was power we've never seen before. That was a god walking among us."

A tea seller beside him nodded.

"I don't care who he is. He gave us something no leader ever gave. Hope."

In Japan, an aged businessman sat in a quiet room, watching the replay of MRD's entrance.

"He walked past the world leaders like they were guards outside his throne. That was not a man claiming power. That was a man who already had it."

In Dubai, inside a luxurious press lounge, a famous entrepreneur adjusted his glasses and faced the media.

"I built my empire on numbers and logic. But what I just saw defies both. Wealth… strength… respect… That man has all three. And more."

In a stadium-sized conference room in Brazil, a live panel discussion turned into chaos.

An expert on political systems tried to speak.

"This level of influence cannot exist without consequences. We must ask—"

A younger voice cut him off.

"No. You don't get it. This is not about politics anymore. This is about reality rewriting itself."

Back at the desert stage, in a room behind the spotlight, camera crews documented reactions from VIP attendees.

A popular actress whispered to her manager, unaware the mic was still on.

"He didn't say it to make us fear him. He said it to show us what power truly means."

A retired general from Eastern Europe leaned toward his journalist escort.

"If he clapped his hands and caused that storm… then we have just seen something history will never forget."

On social media, the internet had collapsed. Platforms froze. Servers failed.

But when they came back online…

Millions had already updated their bios.

"MRD Nation."

Thousands posted pictures with hand symbols of respect. Artworks emerged. Edits. Music. Chants.

A boy from Nigeria uploaded a video of himself saluting a dusty screen.

A girl from South Korea wrote in her diary, "Today I saw the real king. The world will never be the same."

A man from London tweeted, "For the first time, I feel like we have someone who can fix everything."

But not all reactions were praise.

Inside a shadowed room far from the desert, a group of masked men watched in silence.

"He finally revealed himself," one muttered.

Another replied, "Then the countdown has begun."

And somewhere even darker, where screens flickered with static and whispers echoed without speakers…

A voice said calmly,

"He showed the world his light. Now we prepare the darkness."

Back on the stage, MRD remained seated.

Watching.

Waiting.

Letting the world burn in a fire he ignited with truth.

And this was just the beginning.

To be continued...
