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.
