Chapter 42 - Ch 42: Flames

Arjun was sitting in front of the main leader, pointing his gun at the leader's chest.

Meanwhile, Surya was standing relaxed on the other side of the main leader.

Seeing both of them, the main leader said, "You bastards. Do you know how many years I've worked hard? Do you know how much effort I've put in to bring the Shadow Cartel to the position it is in now?"

"I had made many sacrifices to achieve everything. And you two have not only wiped out my entire group but also wasted all the efforts we put into making the Shadow Cartel as one of the most powerful groups."

Hearing this, Arjun moved closer to the main leader's face and said, "Boring!"

He then turned his head towards Surya and said, "There are still some rats in this room. Go and eliminate them."

Hearing this, the main leader got angry and shouted, "Leave them! They didn't commit any crime. They are just security staff."

To this, Arjun replied, "You know, I came here today with the aim of completely wiping out the Shadow Cartel. And there will be no discounts."

Upon hearing this, the main leader became even more frustrated and said, "You fu***rs."

Arjun then lifted his gun from the leader's chest and pointed it towards the leader's shoulder and,

Bang!

As the main leader groaned in pain because of the wound, Arjun said, "Sorry, misfired."

The main leader knew it was intentional. However, he realized the purpose behind that attack was to silence him.

Even the intense expression on Arjun's face signaled to the leader to keep quiet. So, despite his wound, the main leader groaned instead of shouting loudly.

As Surya was heading towards the surveillance room, Arjun said, "Hey, be on guard. They might have guns."

Upon hearing this, Surya turned his head towards Arjun and displayed a smoke grenade, indicating how he planned to deal with them.

Seeing that, Arjun said, "You really are a wicked bastard, huh?"

As Surya finishing off the remaining members of the group, Arjun stood up and walked towards the leader's table, and started the leader's computer.

When Surya emerged from the surveillance room after dealing with the remaining members, he was surprised to see Arjun sitting in the leader's chair, occupied with something on his computer.

He asked, "What are you doing?"

To which Arjun replied, "Ha, you came at the right time. Can you please give me your knife?"

Surya then took his knife from his left pocket and handed it to Arjun, asking, "But why?"

Arjun said, "You'll understand soon."

Arjun then approached the main leader. Holding up leader's left thumb, Arjun asked the main leader, "Is it the right thumb or the left thumb?"

The main leader understood that Arjun was asking about his thumb to open the biometric lock to access the secret financial files on his computer.

Therefore, the main leader tried to remain silent, so he only said, "F**k off."

Arjun said, "I'm asking to make it easier for you. Otherwise, it'll be more painful."

Even as Arjun put pressure on the main leader, the leader remained silent.

Arjun became angry and then cut that thumb which he was holding.

To which the leader wailed loudly in pain.

Seeing this, Surya said, "Isn't this brutal?"

Arjun replied, "You know, there's nothing wrong with taking something from a dead body. You could think of it as him donating his organs to me."

After taking the finger, he tried to open the biometric lock, and it opened.

Arjun said, "You're lucky, leader. It opened otherwise you would have to deal with more pain."

Surya, still not understanding what Arjun was doing, asked, "What are you doing on his computer?"

Arjun replied, "Nothing much, just transferring his assets to me."

Arjun added, "Hey, meanwhile, why don't you handle a little task for me?"

Surya asked, "What is it?"

Arjun said, "Go to the junkyard. You'll find a van there. Inside, there's a box containing wall bombs. Install them on every wall from the junkyard to the basement, including the elevator."

Surya nodded and said, "Okay," and left the boss room.

The main leader said, "How much more are you going to destroy us?"

Arjun replied, "You mentioned something about rising from the ashes like a phoenix. So, I'm giving you a chance."

While Surya was occupied in his work, Arjun transferred all the assets of 'The Shadow Cartel' group to his own accounts.

Surya entered the boss room and attached the devices to the walls, then held the last item, which was larger compared to the others.

He then asked Arjun, "Why is this one bigger than the others?"

To which Arjun replied, "That's what she said."

Surya said, "Be serious."

Arjun chuckled and said, "This big one is a gift for the main leader."

He then took the large item from Surya's hands and placed it on the main leader's chest.

Arjun finally concluded, "It was nice meeting you, leader. Goodbye, leader."

He added by winking at the leader, "Rise and shine."

And then they left the boss room.

Seeing them go, the leader started shouting loudly.

They then exited the junkyard and got into the car that Surya had bought.

Surya asked Arjun, "What about your van?"

Arjun said, "It's also a gift for them."

As they covered some distance, Arjun took a remote from his pocket and pressed a button.

Boom!

The entire junkyard was blasted away and flames completely enveloped the place.

One could hear multiple blasts coming from the junkyard, from objects to cars, everything combustible was getting engulfed in flames.

After covering a bit more distance, Surya asked Arjun, "Where should I drop you off?"

To which Arjun replied, "You don't need to drop me off anywhere because we're going to your house, Surya."

Surya said, "Then you'll have to call me Krishnan."

Surya then realized that they had used their real names in the basement and said, "Wait a second, we exposed our real names in the basement."

Arjun said, "Don't worry, dead men tell no tales. And there were no recording devices there."

Surya felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't believe that Arjun was real.

He asked again, "Are you really Arjun?"

Arjun said, "You'll find out when we get home."

Surya said, "Okay," and added, "Wait, since we both went there, other groups might get the information that there are two people called Athene."

To which Arjun replied, "Don't worry, they won't find out. And even if they do, it's not a problem; you'll have a new partner soon."

Surya said, "Ha, I knew you're not the real Arjun, the real one won't risk his life."

Arjun said, "I didn't say that I'll be your new partner. And you bastard, today I risked my life to save your big ass."

Surya replied, "Ha, sorry. And what about my new partner? When will he join me?"

Arjun replied, "It will take a little more time. Until then, you focus on your work."

After that, both of them remained silent for some distance.
