The minister of Agriculture tried to call the two ministers again, but their numbers were not reachable. He shrugged, hoping that they find their way out of their own mess.To him, it was time to part ways, and face life alone. He was going to escape, and maybe, he would contact them later on. With that in his mind, he thought of how to escape without getting caught. Even though he was confident that the citizens would not find his house, he wanted to be sure of it first.No, he wanted to be on a safer side. He could not risk his life because of assumptions. Whether or not they found his hideout, he had to leave.How would he even escape? He paced around the room, thinking hard on how to escape. He was not sure if it was a good idea to go to the chief minister's place.He could not tell what was going on with the chief minister. The last time they had gone to visit him, he had acted strangely. What if he goes to the chief minister for help, and he ended up turning him in?No, he drea
The minister or Agriculture was afraid of what the citizens would do to him. As much as he wanted to escape, he did not also want to get caught by the citizens.He remained inside the van, hoping that somehow, the driver would zoom off. He wished that he could just lay his hands on those wheels.He was sure that he would zoom off no matter what. He did not care whether his violent act would cause any accident. As long as he was able to drive and escape these angry citizens, he would do anything to achieve that.But the only way to get to the driver's seat was to come out of the back van, and that was absolutely not possible. He was sure that the citizens had already surrounded the vehicle, so how then was he going to escape? That was a bad idea, itself.He decided to stay inside, till whenever. Maybe, if they didn't see him come out of the van, they would give up and contact the owner of the van to come pick it up.With that assurance, he relaxed a bit."Mr. Mahadev, I know you can h
Chapter 92It was all over now.Justice was finally served. Everything was now okay. The ministers were all dead now, and everything was now settled. They had finally paid for their crimes.As they all walked back, returning to their homes, they could hear the vehicle explode behind them.That was the end of it. The end of corruption. Greediness. End of bad ministers and leaders.No one talked about their existence anymore. After justice was served, the citizens went back to their houses. Everyone was at peace. They went home happily knowing that justice was served for all the souls that were lost."Welcome to Radio Station of Castle City 2. This is to let the citizens of Castle City know that peace has been restored to the city. The government assures you that there will no form of corruption or bad leaders that would cause the citizens pain or harm. All facilities and infrastructures have been put to budget by the government, and would be taken care of, as soon as possible. "Also,
"Arjun…the man of the city." The president praised Arjun as he walked into the room.A smile found its way to Arjun's lips, "Mr President, we both know that's you and not me." After the incident, Arjun became friends with the president. One would find it hard to believe that he was a citizen like other people because of how close he was with the president.The president rose up to have a handshake with Arjun, "You can deny many times but it doesn't change the truth my friend." Arjun shook hands firmly with the president before taking his seat, "Exactly. The truth about you being the man of the city. As it should be." The president shook his head as he smiled, "In the eyes of the law, I am the man of the city. But in the eyes of the citizens, you're the man of the city. Have you seen how they adore you? If you even contested for the seat of presidency right now, you'll be given without making too much efforts on campaigns." Arjun sighed, "Well, it is what it is. I just had to play
"That's because not everywhere in the city has reliable electricity. Recently, I received pleas from a remote state asking me to set up a power plant there, so they wouldn't have to rely on generators, given the increasing cost of fuel." The president explained.Arjun hummed, "Oh…well how much do you have in budget for that?" "About fifty million dollars. And we need a hundred and fifty million dollars." "But why are you short of funds?" Arjun inquired.The president took another sip of his wine, "There are other things we have to take care of in the city to ensure the citizens live comfortably. Most of the money is being channeled to our imports." Arjun rubbed his chin as he relaxed on the couch, "I think I know how to help." "I'm all ears." Arjun drummed his fingers on the couch, "Firstly, what are those things we import?" "Mostly gadgets and machines," the president replied."Hmm. Why don't we just pay one of those engineers from the country we import from to come here and tr
CHAPTER 95 Arjun's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the TV with utmost attention.He almost couldn't believe his eyes."He looks just like me. The exact replica. How is this possible? Who is he?" Arjun wondered as he stared at the TV.Arjun didn't realize this man who happened to be his lookalike was being talked about on the news until the news theme started playing.Arjun's mind swirled in thoughts as he wondered why this man was on the news."Breaking news, a shocking revelation has rocked the city. A local man, whose image we aired just moments ago, has been unmasked as a notorious criminal masquerading as a respectable citizen. After a thorough investigation, authorities have finally apprehended the suspect, exposing his sinister activities. We will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available." Whatever the newscaster just said only added to Arjun's curiosity.What crime could his lookalike have committed?And why w
"Good afternoon, and welcome back to Castle News! We have a significant update for you this morning, regarding the individual we featured in our last report. After a thorough investigation, we can now confirm that the man in question, whose name is Abhi, has been accused of a serious crime, and a guilty verdict has been handed down.Our investigative team has uncovered evidence revealing his true nature as a con artist, who attempted to defraud a local company, The Reddys. Fortunately, his scheme was uncovered, and justice has been served. We'll have more details on this developing story as it becomes available. Stay tuned!"Arjun was flummoxed by the news.His lookalike, a con artist?It sounded like a lie despite the fact that Arjun didn't know this guy.How did he try to defraud the Reddys? Arjun wondered and then it dawned on him.The Reddys…He knew those people in the business world. They were basically known for their shrewdness, corrupt system of management and their scandalou
Arjun lifted a brow, "What is it?" "Well…sir…these are pictures of you. Is there a mistake?" Akshay asked with a confused expression.Arjun smirked, "I was surprised too. I forgot to add that Abhi is my lookalike. I thought you knew about this case already so why are you so surprised?" Akshay put his phone in his pocket, "Yes sir. I was aware of the case but as I said before, I couldn't take up investigation since my senior was already doing that. So I didn't even know what Abhi looked like…until now." "Oh. I understand." Arjun replied.Akshay adjusted his belt as he spoke, "Alright sir. I'll get going now, there's a lot of work for me to do. I'll give a call very soon to update or possibly meet you when I've gathered full information." Arjun nodded and stretched his hand towards Akshay for a handshake, "Thank you so much Akshay." Akshay shook hands with him in excitement, "You're most welcome sir."******************Arjun walked into the meeting room, the board members were al
