Rudra stood near his window, looking down at the city. The morning sun was rising, but in his mind, a darker sun was glowing—his plans had officially begun.
The news about Principal Roy had taken over the headlines. The man who once acted like a god inside the school was now in handcuffs, head bowed, reputation shattered. Parents shouted outside the police station, and students laughed at memes online.
But the world didn't know who did it.
That's what Rudra loved most.

Rudra smiled.
"Good. Let them worship the devil who protects them."
Inside the Hideout
The four sat together—Rudra, Arjun, Devika, and Ritesh.
They were inside a small, rented godown, remodeled into their first base.
Computers beeped, wires hung everywhere, and whiteboards were filled with red markers and arrows.
A large title was written on the wall:"Loyal Dogs – The Shadow of Justice."
Ritesh laughed, holding chips in his hand. "Bhai, I thought we were villains. Why does this feel so… heroic?"
Rudra smirked. "Because we're not saving the world. We're just making sure we own it."
Devika twirled a pen. "And what's the next move, boss?"
Rudra stood up, pointed at the board.
Target 2: Deputy Education Minister – Dinesh Thakur.
Crime: Takes bribes from private universities to approve fake degrees.
Step 1: Information Gathering
Arjun typed like lightning, his fingers dancing.
"I found his schedule. Every Friday night, he visits a secret club in Noida. He enters through the backdoor. No media coverage."
Ritesh added, "And the waiter inside said he orders whiskey, smokes cigars, and always meets with university guys in private booths."
Devika was already planning. "I can manipulate the bar manager. Make him spill everything."
Rudra looked around and nodded.
"Perfect. This time, I want a video. Clear sound. Faces visible. I want this man to cry on live television."
Two Days Later: Operation Snakebite
Devika dressed like a high-profile social worker. She walked into the club with confidence, smiling politely. "I'm here to host a donation night," she said.
The manager smiled nervously. She handed him her fake ID.
"Of course, ma'am, right this way."
She scanned the area.
Through her mic, she whispered, "Booth 5, Rudra. He's here."
Rudra and Arjun sat in a van outside, watching live feed from the hidden cameras planted by Ritesh the night before.
Thakur laughed inside the booth, taking an envelope full of cash from a man wearing a college badge.
"Thank you, sir. I'll make sure your university gets A++ this year," the minister said.
Arjun hit record. "Got it."
Rudra leaned back.
"Another domino down."
The Drop
They didn't send the video to news channels. That would be easy.
Instead, Rudra posted the video on a student forum anonymously. Then, Arjun used bots to make the post viral. Within hours, it was trending on Twitter and Instagram.
Hashtags like #FakeDegreesExposed and #BribeMinister exploded.
The government was forced to act.
By evening, Thakur resigned.
By night, the Prime Minister himself tweeted:"Corruption has no place in India's education system."

Back at Base
Everyone was celebrating.
Pizza boxes were open, cold drinks in hand.
But Rudra wasn't smiling.
He stared at the whiteboard again. There were 19 names left—powerful people involved in education crimes.
Politicians. Bureaucrats. Principals. Even mafia agents who controlled colleges.
Devika noticed his serious expression.
"What's wrong?"
Rudra replied, "We're winning too fast. That means someone's watching us."
Arjun turned around. "You think we've been tracked?"
Rudra nodded slowly. "I felt it. The moment we released that second video, someone tried to trace the IP. Failed, but… someone smart."
Ritesh whispered, "A rival?"
Rudra's eyes were cold.
"No. A hunter."
A New Challenger Appears
Late at night, Rudra checked his email.
Among the usual spam, one message stood out.
Subject: "I Know What You Did."
Sender: Unknown.
Attached was a screenshot—him talking to Devika in the club.
No camera should have captured that moment.
His body went still.
Then another message arrived.
Subject: "Let's Talk, Villain."
