Author's point of view... After leaving Gracia, Tiger was a bit confused. It was true that he had raised that girl as his own sister and he could not take that peck normally.He had to make it clear. Feeling uneasy, he didn't return immediately but was strolling around in a dilemma to call her out or not. Unknown of the fact that there was chaos at the cafe because of him. "Get the bitch...!" Elvis's boss shouted a command and his men yanked towards the girl. Though she tried to run away, they grabbed her and dragged her inside the cafe. "Please let her go, that kid has nothing to do in this" The cafe owner started begging, but that man was another kind of a monster. His eyes gradually became cold. He was like a devil from hell!That boss proudly stepped on Wilson's hand, which was spread on the ground causing him immense pain, and grabbed the girl's hair. He looked around and said domineeringly, "Where is that hero of yours? Call him or be ready to get shattered..."Hearing this
Author's point of view... "Black Shadow...!!" A man with a notorious reputation. Known for his treacherous deeds among the Mafia network. When that name rolled out of that man's mouth, Tiger narrowed his eyes. If that was in confusion or it was his anger, it was yet to see. Elvis's boss sneered in a loud tone, "It's your end...!!" he mocked Tiger under his death, his head was still captured, under Tiger's foot but still Tiger let him barg. Nearly four luxurious cars stopped one after the other, that area was not so developed and road was just simple and narrowed one. Those cars blocked almost all the road causing a commotion in the middle of thd road. Many vehicles stopped due to that which make it a crowdy place in just few minutes. "Who are these people? What are they doing here?"Looking at those luxurious cars, everyone was clear about one thing that the people came in them were some big shots. A man in his late thirties stepped out of the middle car when the door was ope
Tiger's point of view... I have created many small gangs who existed to build my network but I hate taking small kids in them. It was a rule I set. Instead of taking them in the gangs, I prefer sending them to the training centers. I hate it...! I hate those young minds doing as they please. Because they creates all kind of troubles than being a help. Though Dad insisted, I refused him to take up kids back then. Those kids have a life ahead. Just because they want money it doesn't mean they have to turn to this path. A path where there is only blood and death. I had no choice when I came back and once getting in this ocean, there is no turning back. I never wanted those kids to end up that way. But this dump head Blacky had taken my trust for granted. He was punished though it was just a small one for what he did. After the mess has been settled, I asked Mike to help Wilson to rebuild his cafe and moved out of it. A pair of eyes were still staring at me in disbelief but I can'
Ria's point of view... From the morning I opened my eyes, today, my head seems to be spinning. Dizziness, fatigue. I don't know if it was because of the stress I have been through or if it was due to the blood loss that I suffered. I tried to take a rest, thinking that everything would be fine if I got a proper sleep but things were not normal, something was wrong with me. However, I don't have anyone beside me to comfort me. I mean, someone to rely on not those monsters guarding at the door. After returning from the hospital with those DNA reports, I found Tiger so much disturbed and I truly didn't want him to get bothered about me anymore. I thought respiting might help me but it didn't. I felt even more tired despite not moving a finger. It was getting on my nerves, I was never a girl to lay on the bed all day. This wasn't my style. I got up and tried to roam around the mansion, checked on Mom, and spent some time with her. But as time went by, my health just got worse. I a
Author's point of view... Devastated, Tiger spread his men everywhere to search for Ria and his Dad but surprisingly there was no trace anywhere to start the quest. He left no options, the complete city police and traffic police were at work as it was the task allotted to them by the most influential man in the country and they didn't have the guts to deny it. Those small gangs under his control and also those big gangs following him, everyone was involved in this search option. Tiger declared that whoever could find any hint of Alex or his men, will be rewarded with whatever he wanted. But yet...! They couldn't find anything. Not even a single clue that can lead him to find them. Mike had personally checked all the surveillance cameras across the area, including those which he installed to keep an eye on the old mansion. But surprisingly nothing could be found. No one ever strode out of the mansion. "Where the hell did he go...!" Tiger yelled and his men surrounding him almost
Ria's point of view... Darkness engulfed my entire world. My body was numb and it was then that I noticed that it had been hours that I was lying unconscious on that cold and dirty floor. But no one bothered if I was alive or dead. Not my husband nor the one who kidnapped me. I might have been able to endure it if I was alone but the innocent life inside me made me miserable. I couldn't endure it anymore. Wait...! I can't die here...! At least not a miserable death. I forced myself to the limit to get my senses back. My throat had felt like it had swollen as I struggled to finc the words the moment my eyes had snapped open. I scrambled to my feet and smelt something foul as the cool breeze billowed over my loose brown hair, whipping over my face without regard.Wh... what just happened? Wait! Who! Where is... I tensed, and my eyes narrowed.The door had opened and someone was here.Having honed my senses since I was born, under the hardships I endured all my life. I had seen it
Author's point of view... It had been twenty-four hours since Ria was missing. Though Tiger didn't know about her real condition, his mind didn't let him take any kind of rest. Not even for a minute. His inner self was in chaos. Just because she was in danger and they could do anything to her. Digging up everywhere possible, to search for any other passage or hidden place where they can keep her, he never let his guard down. The small room that he found did lead to a path and the hidden passage seemed distorted as it wasn't used recently."Boss, I don't think there could be anyone inside" his men who strode inside retorted after a keen observation. As the layout of that entire place reached his hands, Tiger understood that this forest was an ancient prison back in some other dynasty. The buildings collapsed but the passages remained unshattered and now they all became the hidden compartments of those invaders. Despite Tiger's relentless search through the twisting passages and
Author's point of view... In a desperate search through the darkness of those hidden passages, Tiger's heart pounded with every step. As he found a tunnel within which led to a hidden room, in a shabby corner, he discovered his wife, Ria, lying motionless. His fist clenched and his teeth grit together, he was burning in anger when he saw her miserable state. Jumping down from the attic, he checked for her breath, his hands still trembling in an unknown fear. "Ria...!" he called out softly, tears rolling down from his eyes. "It was my fault, I was late. I am sorry" he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. Panic surged through him as he cradled her in his arms. As he got out, he examined her in the light and found signs of poisoning.Her lips turned blue and her pupils upward. He hurried to take her to the best hospital. Even after reaching the hospital, his panic did not reduce. The doctors examined her state and ran several tests to confirm something. Tiger desperately w
Author's point of view... "I have a way out" Ria mumbled as she walked out of the hospital room."What..." both Tiger and Mike exclaimed. She extended her phone to them, there was a green light glowing on a map, flashed on her screen."What is this, ma'am?" Mike asked but Tiger understood everything. "Mom has a tracker?" he asked, and Ria nodded, "I bought it for her security" They stared at the green light moving towards the old mansion. "She is taking them to the old mansion" Tiger just looked at Mike and Mike nodded, "Yes Sir," understanding what his boss meant. Collect our men. Reaching the old mansion, Tiger saw that the vibrant mansion that he remembered from his past was now nothing but some ruins. Dark and cold. As Tiger cautiously entered the old mansion, the creaking floorboards beneath his boots echoed through the dimly lit corridor. The air was thick with the musty scent of aged wood, and shadows danced eerily on the walls. Unbeknownst to him, every step triggere
Author's point of view... Time seemed to freeze as the sound of a gunshot reverberated in the room.Tiger yanked holding his hand as Joe was about to shoot his own head and yet his fate was decided.Though Tiger tried to stop him, his desperate move resulted in shooting himself in his chest.Everyone was shocked as Joe crumpled to the ground, the echoes of his desperate act reverberating in the room. Shock and disbelief hung heavy as the reality of the situation unfolded before them.Tiger, releasing his grip, stared at the scene with a complex mix of emotions. "Damn it," he muttered a curse, his frustration palpable. Mike, too, stood there, grappling with the abrupt turn of events.As the room fell into an eerie silence, the consequences of Joe's final act added a layer of complexity to an already convoluted situation. Unraveling the mysteries surrounding Tiger, the mess that had been growing like hell became even more imperative, with the path ahead now clouded by the unforeseen
Author's point of view... Tagging in the location to the place, Tiger sent a message to Joe, expressing that he was frustrated and couldn't think straight. He asked Joe to reach the location Tiger had sent, immediately and to help him deal with the body of Mike. And Joe, believing that the plan he cracked was successful, did exactly what Tiger wanted. In that dimly lit prison, Tiger's frustration simmered as he looked at the unsettling scene. He positioned Alex's body on the chair, securing him with makeshift restraints. "You weren't of much help, but your body will be" he mumbled to Alex while walking towards the entrance. Mike's body was resting near the wall at one of the corners. The weight of the recent events hung in the air as Tiger contemplated the next steps. "It's the time to show down" he muttered to himself as his ringtone buzzed, echoing in the eerie silence. "Sir, I am here," Joe said and a smile tugged on Tiger's face. Walking toward him, Tiger saw Joe standing
Author's point of view... Alex knew that his end was near and so in exchange for the truth, he wanted to negotiate with Tiger. He wanted Tiger to kill him, after getting his answers and though reluctantly, Tiger agreed. It was finally the time when Tiger was about to get his answers but before it could happen again, a gunshot sound reverberated in the room and a bullet traveled straight cutting the air and ending up hitting Alex's forehead. It was a perfect shot. As the one who shot was trained personally by Tiger himself, Mike...! Tiger was Stunned for a moment. It happened again. Right at the moment. As if someone was deliberately playing a dangerous game with him. Who might be the one? In the tense aftermath of the gunshot, Tiger froze for a moment before springing into action. He swiftly assessed the situation, his mind racing as he considered the potential consequences. The air hung heavy with shock as he gasped.That deadly shot didn't shock him as much as how he was more
Tiger's point of view...I strode straight to Alex because I knew that his days were limited. Though this place was hidden even from all my men except for Mike, I am sure they might be digging up the hell to find him. After all, Alex is one with many secrets inside his belly and I have to let him puke out everything as soon as possible. As I entered the secret prison I found Mike standing before him and spraying water on his face. "Hey...get up...!" Mike was trying hard but there was no response in him. I chuckled as I found him still practicing the mere trick I made him learn. Playing dead...! I walked in and stood before them. Looking at Mike's desperation, I was astonished at how greatly Alex had improved. "Leave us...!" I commanded, Mike hesitated for a bit. He may be thinking that I will kill Alex. And of course I will but not yet.He gaped at me for a few seconds but he couldn't probably decline me. Though wavered, he moved out immediately closing the door behind him. As
Tiger's point of view... I had been an officer of special duties, a commando who lives and dies for his country for more than ten years. Dealing with those wild animals in the deep dark forest, who attack without giving us the time to sense, and also those notorious criminals who are far more dangerous than wild animals, is what I was trained for. It wasn't so easy for me. But I do believe that they trained me for a better fighter. My life had been on thrones, not in flowers. And they thought that they could use my wife against me to deceive me.Seriously...!What the hell do they take me as? A fool?Getting out of the military, I wasn't selling candies on the platform that they thought they could cheat me. I controlled the world. Do they think they can deceive me with those mere tricks? I grasped the very first day when I found Ria in that dark prison. She was drugged, but I smelt the same drug she gave me back then. She was in a research team about that drug and no one else
Author's point of view..."Roman Enfield Bank" As the father and son confirmed that there was no one around to spy on them, Tiger asked confusingly. "Why did you particularly let out that name, Dad?" A smirk tugged on Micheal's face and he shoved his hand into his pants pocket, fetching his phone. Taking it out, he scrolled down on his phone screen to find someone's number. Tiger stood silently, observing his father. Though he couldn't comprehend what exactly Micheal was up to, he knew something so clearly, that his father was far more thoughtful than him. Scheming or planning was his specialty. He called someone, and from the very first word he spoke, Tiger understood everything. "Almeda...I have something for you...!" Almeda Bonze was the chief of the security in that bank and also Micheal's men. Micheal had everything planned. Roman Enfield Bank...! In the heart of the busy city, nestled within a sleek and modern skyscraper, stands the perfection of financial fortificatio
Ria's point of view..."The chest is kept in a locker of Roman Enfield Bank, locker number- 1109/6" I took a long breath before I revealed everything. "Are you serious...!" that metallic voice exclaimed. They had been using some voice-manipulating tools to talk to me so that I couldn't judge who that was. "How could that chest be kept inside a locker? Are you trying to fool me?" it added irritatingly, I know it felt weird but that was what I heard from them. I heard everything when Uncle was revealing everything to Tiger, he can't be lying to his son, can he? "I don't know about all of it, but that is what I heard. You better keep your word..." I couldn't complete it when I heard the scream of that innocent little boy, Max."Stop...!!" I cried, how could they use a small child to threaten me to work for their business?"Urgh...! Mom it hurts..." my eyes pooled up as I heard Max crying so hard. He is a good boy, a stronger one and his patience is above many elders. I have seen him
Author's point of view... A heavy silence hung in the air as Micheal got up in a sitting position. Tiger stood beside him and helped him up. The story behind this all was so intriguing that it took quite a while for Micheal to decide if he wanted to tell his son about it. Taking a deep breath, Micheal spoke about the ancestral chest, passed down through generations which is said to hold the key to a power that could shape destinies.As Tiger listened intently, his father's voice carried the weight of the past. "It all started with your grandfather's greatest action" Tiger strode near and say on the chair beside the bed, "Your grandfather, was a brigadier, had once stood tall in the army, respected and admired by everyone. Everything was going fine until one day when he came home desperate and panicked. He urged us all to leave the house immediately telling that some people will come looking for him and they might harm us. Actually he was betrayed by his own trustworthy colleagues
