Chapter Twenty-Seven: Grigor's Secrets

After the incident where Aboud saved Grigor’s life, Grigor realized that Aboud wasn’t just courageous; he also had the potential to learn and grow. One day, after Aboud had recovered from his injury, Grigor decided it was time to teach him about the world he once controlled—the world of technology, programming, and hacking.

Grigor (seriously):
"Aboud, you've proven your physical strength, but real power in this world isn’t in muscles. It’s in the mind and technology. The world is ruled by information now. If you want to control your destiny, you need to learn how to use that weapon."

Aboud (in surprise):
"What do you mean?"

Grigor (smiling):
"I was the leader of a group of hackers, and we hacked into banks and major corporations. Everything was controlled by computers, and money flowed with just a click of a button. I want to teach you how to think like a hacker."

Aboud (hesitant):
"But how can I learn that here? We don’t have computers."

Grigor:
"Don’t worry; you don’t need them here. I’ll explain the basics and the concepts you need to know."

Grigor began teaching Aboud the fundamentals in a theoretical way. He explained the basics of programming and understanding systems, starting with how the internet works and how information is stored and processed.

Grigor (firmly):
"Everything starts with knowledge. Even here, in this harsh place, we can learn. I have some old books on programming and hacking. If you’re serious about becoming stronger, you need to start now."

Aboud (with a slight smile):
"I’ve always been fascinated by technology since I was a kid. I used to take apart old phones and try to figure out how they worked. But programming and hacking? That’s completely new to me."

Grigor (confidently):
"That’s good because a mind curious to discover is exactly what you need in this world. We’ll start with the basics, and I’ll show you how knowledge can be stronger than any weapon."

Training Scene

Every day, after the prison work ended or during free time, Grigor and Aboud would sit in a corner of their cell, poring over worn-out books on programming. Step by step, they learned together. Aboud listened intently, realizing that a new world was opening up before him.

At first, Grigor explained concepts like "algorithms," "networks," and how programming systems worked. Gradually, he moved on to more complex topics like security breaches and how systems could be controlled by exploiting vulnerabilities.

Grigor (with a small smile):
"Knowledge is the most powerful weapon. When you know how systems work, you can control everything."

Aboud was filled with passion and excitement. Despite the harsh conditions in prison, he saw this training as an opportunity to break free from his past life. He didn’t just want to survive; he wanted to become stronger and have control over his destiny.

Grigor, for his part, saw in Aboud a younger version of himself—a young man with potential but no opportunities to shine. He explained everything with detail and precision, treating Aboud like a student he wanted to see succeed.

Grigor (calmly but deeply):
"Aboud, life isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. And when you get out of here, you’ll have the power to control your life."

Training and Transformation

As the days passed, Aboud learned quickly. He began to understand how technology could be used not only as a tool for survival but as a means to build a new life. Grigor promised to help him once he was released from prison, telling him about plans to smuggle him to Germany after his sentence.

Grigor (confidently):
"When I get out, I’ll reconnect with my partners in the German mafia. I’ll send the right people to help you when your sentence is up. I won’t let them deport you to Syria."

Aboud continued his training under Grigor’s guidance, realizing that he wasn’t just learning to survive—he was becoming someone new, someone who could control his own fate. The digital world that Grigor was opening up for him was a gateway to a new life full of possibilities.

He understood that the path Grigor was showing him wasn’t easy, but it offered something Aboud had never had before—control over his own future. As time went on, Aboud became more focused, more determined, and more capable, ready to face whatever came next.
