Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The Fallout Begins

Dave sat in his high-tech apartment, the dim glow of the city lights reflecting off the glass walls. He stared at his smartwatch, his mind racing with thoughts of what his recent invention had done to the world. The revolutionary medical patch he'd created had already taken the globe by storm, shaking industries and making headlines. But he needed to know the specifics—how far had the fallout spread?

"Smartwatch," Dave commanded, his voice firm, "give me the names and ranks of all the companies that have already declared bankruptcy due to my medical patch."

The screen on the smartwatch lit up as the AI began pulling data from across the world's financial sectors. A list of names appeared, each representing a giant that once dominated the medical industry.

"The following companies have filed for bankruptcy," the AI began. "1. MedicoTech International, ranked #1 in global pharmaceutical sales. 2. BioCure Systems, ranked #3 in medical devices. 3. *HealthFirst Corp, ranked #5 in hospital equipment production. 4. PharmaLife Innovations, ranked #7 in consumer health products. 5. SurgicalTech Industries, ranked #10 in advanced surgical robotics."

Dave raised an eyebrow, impressed by the scale of the damage he'd caused. "So, we've knocked out the top dogs. Not bad," he mused. "What else is happening around the world? Give me feedback—both good and bad—about the impact of my medical patch."

The smartwatch's AI paused for a moment, then began to compile global news reports, social media posts, and financial analysis. As the data streamed in, the AI gave a summary.

"On the positive side, millions of people worldwide are benefiting from the medical patch. Hospitals are reporting faster recovery times, a reduction in the need for invasive surgeries, and overall improvement in patient outcomes. The general public is hailing the patch as a miracle invention, and demand continues to skyrocket."

Dave smiled, knowing that the product he'd created was helping so many people. But the AI wasn't finished.

"However," the smartwatch continued, "there are some negative effects. The mass layoffs from the medical companies you've bankrupted are causing economic turmoil. Stock markets have become volatile as investors scramble to recover from their losses. Several governments are holding emergency meetings to discuss the potential collapse of their medical industries. Some countries are even discussing legal action, accusing your company of unfair market practices."

Dave leaned back in his chair, folding his arms. "I expected this," he muttered. "There's always going to be fallout when something this disruptive hits the market."

But he wasn't worried about the consequences. His focus shifted to something more personal. He had sensed something in the shadows, a threat growing from those who weren't just upset about his success—they were trying to take him down.

"Smartwatch, I need to know who's responsible for the hacking attempts. I want to know who's been trying to uncover my identity."

The AI responded instantly. "There have been multiple attempts from various sources, including corporate espionage teams, independent hackers, and even government entities. However, the most serious breach attempts have come from a clandestine hacker group known as ZeroPoint."

Dave's expression darkened. ZeroPoint was infamous, a group of elite hackers who specialized in uncovering the identities of those in power and exposing their secrets to the world. They were known for their ruthlessness and success rate. But this time, they had failed.

"They've been attempting to breach your company's firewall for weeks now," the AI continued. "Their goal is clear—to uncover your identity and expose you to the world. However, my security systems have kept them at bay. Their hacking attempts have been neutralized."

Dave's eyes narrowed. "It's time they regretted ever trying to hack me," he said coldly. "List the names and locations of everyone in ZeroPoint. I want to know who they are and where they're hiding."

The AI responded efficiently, bringing up detailed profiles of the hackers. "The leader of ZeroPoint is a man named Marcus Voss, operating out of Berlin, Germany. He's responsible for coordinating the attacks. Other key members include Tasha Granger, based in San Francisco, California, and Ivan Petrov , located in Moscow, Russia."

Dave's eyes scanned the list as more names and locations appeared. There were a dozen in total, each one a highly skilled hacker who had been involved in trying to take him down.

"This is excellent," Dave said, his voice calm but with a sinister edge. "They've made a grave mistake. I'll deal with them personally."

The smartwatch continued to gather information on each hacker, providing Dave with everything he needed—addresses, routines, and even the security measures in place at each location. ZeroPoint had no idea what was coming for them.

Dave stood up from his chair, his mind already planning his next move. These hackers thought they were invincible, but they were about to learn the hard way that no one could challenge him and walk away unscathed. He had the system, the smartwatch, and now a list of targets.

He smirked, feeling the weight of his power. The world was his playground, and anyone who dared to step out of line would be dealt with swiftly.

As the final names appeared on the smartwatch, Dave clenched his fist in determination. But the next stage of his plan was just beginning. ZeroPoint had made an enemy of the wrong person, and Dave was about to show them what real power looked like.

His eyes gleamed as he stared at the list of names on the screen, ready to take action. It was time to put an end to this. He now knew exactly who his enemies were—and they had no idea what was coming.


Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - The Wrath of Retribution

Dave studied the list of names and locations provided by the smartwatch, his expression calm but his mind focused. Each name on the list was a hacker from ZeroPoint, the group that had tried to break into his system and steal his technology. These people had crossed a line, and now, it was time for Dave to ensure they never tried it again. 

The first name on the list led him to a remote warehouse just outside the city. Dave teleported to the site, ensuring he stayed out of sight, shrouded by the shadows of the towering building. As he approached, the smartwatch whispered in his ear: "One target inside, two guards."

Dave smirked. This wouldn't take long.

Silently, he moved through the warehouse, weaving through the darkness like a ghost. The guards were armed, but they never saw him coming. With a quick, calculated movement, he disarmed the first one, knocking him out cold with a precise strike to the back of the head. The second guard tried to react, but Dave was faster, twisting his arm behind his back and forcing him to the ground before he could shout. 

Inside the office, the hacker was busy, oblivious to the silent chaos outside. Dave entered without a sound, standing behind the man's chair for a moment. The hacker glanced up at the reflection of Dave in his computer screen, his eyes widening in shock. But before he could react, Dave spoke in a low, controlled voice.

"You're done."

The hacker stammered something, reaching for his keyboard, but Dave was quicker. He grabbed the man's wrist, twisting it just enough to send a wave of pain through his arm. 

"You thought you could hack me, steal what's mine. You should have known better."

With a precise blow, Dave rendered the hacker unconscious, leaving him slumped in his chair. But he wasn't done. Dave worked quickly, leaving a USB stick in the hacker's computer, uploading all the incriminating data that would expose not just this one hacker, but the entire network ZeroPoint had built. Once the files were uploaded, Dave stood back and admired his work, knowing the authorities would find everything they needed to arrest the hacker for life.

Without a trace, Dave teleported to the next location.

At the next stop, Dave found himself in a high-rise apartment in the heart of the city. This hacker was smarter, more cautious. The door was heavily secured, the windows reinforced, but it didn't matter. Dave teleported directly into the hacker's living room, watching as the man's fingers flew over his keyboard, unaware of the danger lurking behind him.

This one was different, more dangerous, and Dave knew it. He needed to be quick. With a swift motion, he grabbed the hacker's shoulder and spun him around. The man tried to fight back, but Dave's strength, enhanced by his stats, easily overpowered him.

"You're not walking away from this," Dave said coldly, pinning him to the floor with one hand.

The hacker struggled, but it was futile. Dave placed his smartwatch near the man's computer, uploading the same damning evidence as before. By the time he was done, the hacker was unconscious, his fate sealed. The police would find him soon enough, along with the evidence of his crimes.

---

One by one, Dave visited every hacker on the list. Each confrontation was swift and decisive. Some fought back, others tried to flee, but none stood a chance against Dave's abilities. His strategy was clear: incapacitate, collect the evidence, and leave them for the authorities. By the time he was done, ZeroPoint would be nothing more than a footnote in the criminal underworld, every one of its members behind bars, their hacking days over for good.

At the final location, Dave found himself in an underground bunker. This was the heart of ZeroPoint, where their leader operated. As Dave approached, the smartwatch alerted him: "Multiple targets. Be prepared."

He smirked. "Good."

The guards were tougher this time, armed and ready for trouble. But Dave was faster, stronger. He disarmed them with ease, using his teleportation to appear behind them, striking them down before they could react. Inside, the leader of ZeroPoint stood, waiting.

"I know who you are," the man said, his voice shaking. "You think you can stop me?"

Dave said nothing. With a quick, brutal strike, he took down the leader, leaving him crumpled on the ground. The smartwatch beeped, confirming the data transfer. It was done. ZeroPoint had been neutralized.

Before he left, Dave made sure to send the evidence to every major news outlet, exposing ZeroPoint's crimes to the world. As he teleported away, the sound of sirens echoed in the distance. The police were coming, but by the time they arrived, Dave would be long gone.

ZeroPoint was finished, and no one would ever trace it back to him.
