"Ok, Let's meet in the middle and let them decide" Aniket said, he and uni have been arguing among themselve for the past hour and he finally decided on a compromise.

[In what way?]

"I will send an email, the same one, to all of the companies' heads. After which we wait, whoever reached out to us first, we go to them." Aniket said.

[If none of them reached out to us in 10 days]

"Then we will have to figure out this mess your self, since you posses excellent law skills too." 

[I don't, but I can memorize the entire country I's constitution within 1 hour, and the rest will completely depend on you]

"That's fine too, but I could take the long route and apply for patents and all," Aniket said, thinking, but then just wrote out the email. When he did and clicked send, after which he proceeded to jump on his bed and spend his days watching serials.

In a room of the famous office of the purple suit, a man in his late 30s was seen sitting behind his desk as he was going through his mail and junk. This has been his routine ever since he was a young lawyer, an unsolved trauma from missing an email that was sent by his client at the time about a critical issue. It went to his junk pile because the client sent it with an unknown email, and later, when the court case came up. He failed him, and the client thought that he was bribed by the opponent.

That day, the client jumped off the court with not a single letter. When he found that email later on, it crushed him; if it were not for his current wife, he would have quit the law and gone and work in some woodworking business. Till this day, he blames himself and created this law firm that only accepts truly innocent clients.

'This law firm won't last long,' He thought as someone called out to him. 

"Rishi," A woman in her late 30s called out as he looked up and saw her. "I am going to get dinner, come home soon, honey."

"I will be right there, sweety" Rishi said, and then started to work though the email quickly, 'I have to make sure this law firm stands, no not just stands but becomes the best firm in the world so every innocent person can have a place to rescue them. This is the least I own him after what I did' He thought.

As he was going through his mail, he spotted an email from someone he didn't know, and he looked through the content to see if it was spam or not. A moment later, his eyes shot up in surprise as he immediately went to call his partner, his wife. When she entered the office and looks at him confused he says "I just got a email…"

The wife herself was surprised and said, "Are you sure this is legit, Rishy?"

"I don't know, but even if a fraction of what he says is true, then we will be getting ourselves an exclusive client and one that will be at the top of the country one day," Rishi said, hoping that what he said is true because it can bring the law firm into another league with much bigger clients and better able to help the innocent.

Aniket made it a habit of looking at the mail every so often. By looking, he reads the subject of the mail notification he got. This was no different; he lazily opened his phone and looked at the subject, only to get excited and say, "Look at that, Uni. It seems I win."

[ Of course, you are going to win. We already established that the other two won't take you seriously, so the entire bet is either purple suit or the long way with patents.]

"You are a sore loser, Uni," Aniket said with a smirk, as he replied to the message and then went to get his best suit out, which was a suit he brought himself to attend his graduation party for college. In less than a few minutes, he got ready, brushed his teeth again just to be sure, and got a cab to go to the purple suit main building in the city.

Aniket stood in front of the giant building reaching the sky, as he walked through the automatic opening doors. He was hit with the cool air of the AC in the building, a stark contrast to the burning heat outside, which could cook a chicken without even needing a stove. He went to the front desk and asked, "Hello, I have an appointment with your boss at 11 a.m." 

The lady at the front desk looked at me and then typed something into her computer, and said, "Hello, Mr.Sai. Mr. and Mrs. Roy are waiting for you upstairs." She then proceeded to call someone to bring Aniket to the floor where they are supposed to meet. 

'Uni, run down the list again.' Aniket commended Uni as she showed him a physical hologram of all the items in the list being checked and where they are. 

Veda prototype: In your front pocket.

Bugs: Right in your hands.

Files with all your credentials: Also in your hands.]

'Ok, I have everything. I can do this.' Aniket mentally prepared himself as the elevator stopped with a satisfying click and the door opened. Aniket walked in confidently, as he looked around to see a beautiful office with a comfy sofa and a small kitchen. His eyes, however, stayed on the desk in the center with two people there, A man with black hair and brown eyes who looked completely unremarkable except for the aura of wisdom around him.

The woman, however, has an aura of homelyness and warmth. He didn't trust his eyes to linger on her for more than a second as he quickly looked into the man's eye and said "Mr. and Mrs. Roy"

"Please call me Rishi, and this is Shrea." Rishi said getting up from his chair to give him a handshake followed by Shrea. Aniket resiporated the gesture and said 

"Aniket, if I may take a few minuted of your time I would like to explain my purpose" Aniket said, as Rishi and Shrea sat on a nearby sofa. He quickly gave them the code book and explained what it is, "This is all the bugs I found from the big tech: Google, Meta, Youtube, and finally even amazon. There are approximately 500 bugs with most of them being critical while some are are even Zero day bugs. The total value of the code you hold according to online sources can reach up to few million dollars"
