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
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..."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
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
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
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
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

"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.
