They were all stunned. Their eyes were widened, almost attempting to fall off its sockets.When did he get here? How did he get in without their awareness? They could swear that they had no idea when the door even open, or when someone walked in.It made them wonder how long he had been standing there. Could it be that he heard their conversation?Their heart beat seemed to have skipped. They just stared at him as if they had all seen a ghost."What?" He said, seemingly acting dumb, "are you not happy to see me? Did I scare you? Or perhaps, did I interrupt your plans?" He said.It dawned on them that he might have been standing there for a while now. They sighed in anger and frustration.How was he able to do that? Always getting them whenever they let their guard down. Every single time they tried to breathe and relax, he would always appear.He was like their worst nightmare. He did not even give them space to breathe. Since he returned, it had always been one episode of discomfort
He had decided to just flee away from the country for now, till the whole situation was settled. Since he was barely regarded now, he was sure that before he returned, they might have forgotten about him or even his existence.With that idea in mind, he sighed in relief. He would leave the country soon, but that did not make him a loser.He was only letting Arjun play all his cards, before he would strike. He would never let him go that easily. That was the last thing he would do.In fact, it was impossible! Not after Arjun had ruined his life, he would now let him off the hook like that.Not only was he planning to travel alone, he planned to come back after a while to take his revenge.He could not be belittled. Since he could not control Castle City, and make the citizens to be subjected to his orders, he would rather have it destroyed.Yes! He planned to destroy the city, leaving it in shackles.He could not lose his financial position, his respect, and power that easily. Arjun m
Finally! The man had feared the chief minister's wrath. He knew how angry he could be, and he needed to act fast, as well."A space?" He questioned.The man stammered, "uh, I... I mean a private jet." Due to how hasty he was in giving back his report, he had not said the full thing. Of course, the Chief Minister would not want to share a plane with commoners, even if they were minster or people with power.Having been disgraced and embarrassed, he could not afford to take himself all out for more embarrassment and insults."Good. Send me the necessary documents now." He ordered.He would never change, would he? Even at the level he was right now, he still had the same iota of guts; ordering people around anyhow and however he wanted.He did not even wait for the man to respond, he ended the call.Checking his dashboard, his first plan was successful. He was able to book a private for himself to fly out. He marked it with a tick, indicating that it was completed.Moving on to the ne
While Arjun made the ministers to pay for their wrong deeds, he had returned to Maratha Industries, but he didn't reveal himself yet to the people. He still had a lot to do, and he was not even halfway close getting them done, although he had already punished the ministers according to the law. As he was at it, he had gone back to take his position and the CEO and owner of Maratha Industries, without the chief minister knowing it.He had slowly and carefully planned it. Not everyone at Maratha Industries knew about his existence. They all thought he was dead, so even his suspicious movement remained unnoticed.It was just one or two persons that knew that he was back, and they were his most loyal allies. Not like he did not trust others. No, he did, but he had to be calculative.They were dealing with the chief minister here. He could easily manipulate one of them to talk, and this would spoil all the plans that he had made.Right now, he was a step ahead of the chief minister. He
The chief minister was surprised. Surprised? Was he surprised? Surprise was just an understatement. He could not understand what was going on. Did he make a mistake? Was there some kind of errors? Could there have been any technical issues?He was so confused, that he just sat there and stared at the blinking red light, and the message displayed on the screen.Warning? What was it warning him about? What did "warning" mean? "What the hell is going on?" He asked no one in particular. Not like anyone was there, anyway.He turned to look around, as if someone was behind him. But he was all alone.He wondered if anyone had touched the device in the first place, but he recalled that he had kept it in a very safe place, and no one was even around.In fact, they had not seen him since he took Nexumcore, and even if they had, it was a very difficult task to open the room where he had kept the robotic device.He cursed aloud, hitting his fist on the table. He was angry! This was bad for him
The engineer was in his office, trying to draft out the list of items that he needed to buy, as most of his working materials had finished.He thought about Nexumcore. He wondered what the chief minister wanted to do with it. He knew how devilish the chief minister could be, and he knew what the gravity of it would be, when he takes control of the robotic device.However, he had sensed that there was something different about Nexumcore. Although he was not working in Maratha Industries, he knew a lot about the robotic device.He knew how it was operated, what code to launch on it, and the rest, but while he was trying to fix it, he found it difficult to work on it.It was what made him ask the chief minister for more days, so that he could work on it, as it was giving him a tough time.He had noticed that there might have been some changes in the robotic device. He was an engineer, of course, he would be able to tell if there was a problem or a change in something.Although he could p
They shut the door with a loud bang, leaving him to fate. He did not care what would happen to him, or how he would survive the beating. He was at least satisfied that he had taught the engineer a lesson he would never forget so easily.The engineer laid on the floor, looking helpless and weak. He could barely open his eyes. His vision was blurry, he could not even move a muscle.He just laid there, helplessly, wishing that someone would come and help him. His face was covered in blood, as they had kicked him severally, causing blood to come out of his mouth and nose.He could swear that he did absolutely nothing to the robotic device. He did not even know what the chief minister was talking about.Even though he had not tested out the robotic device yet, before giving it to the chief minister, he was sure that he had successfully computed the device and coded it with the right programme.He could hardly even move his body. He gave up trying to stand up. He just laid there until he re
Arjun sat in a room, replaying the video again. He could not help, but laugh at the chief minister's foolishness. In the room with him were the two security men that stood at the exit and the guy who had planted the bug in his car."Sir, how did you know that he would come for Nexumcore?" One of the security men asked.He was intrigued by Arjun's cleverness. He never thought that someone would be this smart, and calmly take a step ahead of his enemy without even being noticed.Arjun smiled, "one secret people don't usually know is that every detail matters. Even the tiniest detail that seems insignificant." He began.The men looked puzzled. They could not understand what Arjun was implying. However, they gave their listening ears to him, paying good attention to what he had to say."When I had returned from the outskirts of Castle City. I had visited the president, during the period of terrorism. I had a conversation with the chief minister, as well. Although I knew his plans of taki
