As Evan stepped out of the HOD's office, the threat given by the Director hung heavily on his mind.
Naturally, he can't keep the man fooling for long. There was a limit to which he could drag on.
As Evan barged out, a group of students who had gathered nearby spotted him and started whispering as they caught sight of him.
"Hey, look, it's Evan!" one of them exclaimed, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.
"Yeah, the big shot entrepreneur," another chimed in, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Big shot….Just watch, after a few days he will be bankrupt and soon start begging."
"I don't think that would happen after all he is going to be jailed and fined."
Evan tried to ignore the jeers and taunts as he made his way through the crowd, but their words didn't stop to cease.
"Did you hear about his parents harassing that actress, Suri Barret?" one of the students sneered, his voice filled with contempt. "I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
"Yeah, I have also seen the video. What an unreasonable family?"
"Yeah, it's no wonder he's acting all high and mighty," another added, his laughter echoing through the air. "Like father, like son, right?"
"I hear he also offended the teachers right?"
Evan shook his head while looking around. His memory had improved greatly, though it was nowhere near photographic memory, so he looked around trying to remember their names as far as possible.
Amidst the mockery, Evan walked without shrinking back and went back to his some.
.......
Entering the room, Evan slammed his hand on the wall in frustration. After hearing so many things, he just couldn't pretend to be unaffected. It pinched his heart. And all of this was due to that director.
"That fucking son of..."
"Brother..."
Evan's expression froze and his lips opened wide, unable to speak anymore as he saw a small figure running towards him.
"Elina, you didn't go to school."
"Mother said to stay back home and study," Lina spoke with a cute pout and then extended her small head as if asking for Evan to ruffle her hair.
Evan's expression softened a bit.
But Elina, always perceptive to emotions from growing up amidst family fights, noticed Evan's lingering distress.
"Brother, why is your expression so gloomy?" Lina pouted and tugged at his sleeves.
"Brother, just tell me if someone bullied you. I will personally take care of them when I become an officer." Lina raised her small fist defiantly, trying to appear tough.
Evan couldn't resist her cuteness and gently pinched her cheeks, eliciting a cry from Lina.
"Ow... It hurts!"
"Oh, sorry," Evan let go immediately, stepping back.
"Lina, my future depends on you, so do well," Evan said softly, his earlier frustration momentarily forgotten as he tried to reassure his sister.
After some playful moments, Evan retreated to his room. As soon as he took his seat, his expression changed. The gentle smile faded from his face.
"That greedy bastard... Does he think of me as soft fodder?"
Evan pulled out the pen from his pocket.
It wasn't a normal pen, rather it had a small camera. Evan had brought it for 5000 rupees.
This was suggested by Abhijeet on account of toxic fans of Suri trying to harm him. This can also serve as additional evidence but who knew this would be used so early?
"I should let him fly for now. Once, I finish things with Suri, I will shift my target to you."
"I will make sure you bleed well and cough out a large sum, fucker…"
With all things happening, he thought he needed to speed up his development in hacking.
A skill that was a must-need if he wanted to dominate the software and IT sector.
He had brought a ton of books and saved videos on Mytube and other sites.
He also had brought an ample number of books.
"The Web Application Hacker's Handbook" for web vulnerabilities.
"Hacking: The Art of Exploitation" for fundamentals.
The Hacker Playbook" for practical techniques.
"Social Engineering:The Art of Human Hacking" for social engineering, "Practical Malware Analysis" for malware, and "The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing" for an introduction.
With the remaining days since nothing much was going on, he decided to engross and learn to hack.

Meanwhile, CodeZipper has already started gaining momentum.
As CodeZipped began to gain momentum,
Somewhere in Indra....
Rudra sat hunched over his phone with frustration etched on his face as he scrolled through his storage settings.
With a whopping 64GB of ROM, one would think he had more than enough space for all his apps, photos, and music. But alas, his phone had been acting up lately buggy, slow, and constantly running out of storage.
He grumbled to himself about this as his parents didn't have money to buy a new phone.
At this time a friend's suggestion echoed in his mind. "Try Code Zipper," they had said. "It'll revolutionize how you manage your files."
With a flicker of hope, Rudra navigated to the app Play Store and downloaded Code Zipper.
Its size was quite small so to download deleted his few personal videos and pictures.
A few moments later, he selected everything and started to zip it.
Within minutes, he was zipping up files left and right, compressing them into neat little packages that took up significantly less space on his phone.
With each file zipped, Rudra watched in amazement as his storage space dwindled from a cramped 27 GB to a comfortable 5 GB.
He then cleaned the phone out of the garbage after a few hefty minutes, he saw his phone running smoothly.
It wasn't magical yet its effect was quite good
But the best part? With Code Zipper's easy access feature, Rudra didn't have to waste any time unzipping files when he needed them. Everything was neatly stored in a folder, ready to be accessed with just a tap.
As Rudra sat back, his phone finally running smoothly and his storage space freed up, he couldn't help but feel grateful for his friend's suggestion.
Code Zipper had truly been a lifesaver, solving.
He searched for the company and developer but didn't find anything significant.
"Damn! app is a life lifesaver. So why the heck is it inst popular…"
"Advertise…Advertise…I need to advertise."
Thinking about his mind flashed with a thought and then he started creating a community to talk about this app on Meta.
Little did he know that this small spark would soon light a wildfire sensation.
