After a while, when Kashmira regained consciousness, she immediately moved away from Abhimanyu out of fear and went to Sidharth, looking at Abhimanyu with frightened eyes.
Abhimanyu said, "Why are you afraid of me? I am one of the protectors. By the way, the one you're clinging to is also a protector, and he is a lion."
Kashmira looked at Sidharth, who was looking at her lovingly.
Kashmira asked, "Are you really a protector?"
Sidharth nodded affirmatively.
Then Abhimanyu said, "And so is Jin Gyong."
Kashmira asked, "Can you both transform and show me?"
Sidharth said, "Is it necessary to do this?"
Kashmira nodded affirmatively.
Sidharth and Jin Gyong moved a little away from her and then transformed.
When Sidharth and Jin Gyong were transforming, it was quite a satisfying sight. Parts of both of them were engulfed in flames—Sidharth, who had turned into a lion, had fire in his mane, and Jin Gyong had fire in her wings.
Ammy said, "You call me 'sister,' but you didn't tell me this."
Jin Gyong replied, "Firstly, I didn't want to worry you, and secondly, I knew that if Dad found out, he would start experimenting on me, and I didn't want to waste my time in that lab."
Abhimanyu said, "By the way, it was because of this power that her illness was cured."
Ammy asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Abhimanyu said, "Because it was Jin Gyong's secret. Besides, you also haven't told her your secret."
Jin Gyong, back in her human form, asked, "What secret?"
Ammy said, "Alright, since everything is out in the open now, see this." With that, Ammy's hair turned golden, her eyes also turned golden, her clothes changed suddenly, and she was dressed like an angel. Wings sprouted from her back, and they shone with a golden light.
Abhimanyu stared at her, mouth agape, and so did everyone else present.
Ammy returned to her normal form and asked, "What happened?"
Everyone was still staring at her, mouth agape.
Jin Gyong said, "I have never seen anything more beautiful in this world."
Kashmira said, "Yes, maybe that was the most beautiful sight in the universe."
Abhimanyu said, "Yeah, I have to admit, your angel form looks quite powerful."
Ammy said, "Well, I want to see your form too."
The others said, "But he has already shown his snake form, and it didn't seem that special."
Ammy asked, "Will you show me?"
From Abhimanyu's back, white wings emerged, his eyes turned golden, and his hair turned white. Then, he started transforming again, the outer edges of his wings and hair turning golden, while the inner part remained white.
Abhimanyu said, "I can only transform this much for now."
Ammy, touching his hair, said, "Well, I didn't expect you to reach even this level. You have to admit, you're capable."
Abhimanyu said, "Alright, don't give me false praise."
Ammy said, "By the way, I want to see your other form."
Abhimanyu said, "I think it's better if that remains a secret."
Ammy then snapped her fingers, and everyone there fell unconscious.
Ammy said, "Now, can you show me?"
Abhimanyu took a deep breath and transformed into his demonic avatar, where his wings were completely red, and he looked quite handsome in that form.
Ammy said, "But your hair hasn't turned completely red yet."
Abhimanyu's hair then turned entirely red, but now he didn't look as good because his skin also turned red.
Returning to his normal form, Abhimanyu said, "I don't use that form because I don't look good in it."
Ammy asked, "Are these Abhimanyu's feelings or Arjun's?"
Abhimanyu replied, "Consider them both."
Ammy laughed and said, "By the way, now you're powerful enough to reclaim your throne in the demon realm."
Abhimanyu said, "Yes, I can, but I'm thinking of enjoying this new life peacefully. Besides, sitting on a throne all the time makes your bones ache."
Ammy laughed and said, "You're right. Maybe both of us have human emotions now. But I didn't expect a demon could reform."
Abhimanyu said, "There was hope, that's why you spared my life back then."
Ammy said, "Yes, but I really didn't expect you to become the victor of all three realms."
Arjun said, "I was angry because those angels sacrificed you for the Sormani, and then they fought amongst themselves, causing the Sormani to disappear. After that, those angels, in their rage, started attacking all realms in search of that gem."
Ammy said, "You never told me this."
Abhimanyu said, "Because there's no point in digging up old graves."
Ammy asked, "Why were you angry?"
Abhimanyu fell silent.
Ammy, smiling, said, "Did you like me?"
Abhimanyu laughed and said, "A demon and an angel can never be together."
Ammy said, "Do you still believe that, especially when this human named Abhimanyu has kept both of us together in his body?"
Abhimanyu said, "Yes, this body is a bit different. I don't think it's a human body."
Ammy said, "You are slow to understand things. I don't know what or who this truly is, but it's clear it's not a human. A human might be able to host two or three spiritual cores, but hosting both an angel and a demon's core is impossible."
Abhimanyu agreed.
Ammy came closer to him and said, "You change the subject very quickly, don't you?"
Abhimanyu said, "It's Abhimanyu's trick."
Ammy held his hand and said, "Ammy likes Abhimanyu a lot, and maybe Abhimanyu has a soft corner for her too, so maybe I also like you. But I want to know Arjun's feelings."
Abhimanyu said, "Arjun also likes you. He has loved you since the first time he saw you."
Ammy kissed Abhimanyu and then, stepping back, said, "This will stay between us. But remember, Abhimanyu still has feelings for Kashmira."
Abhimanyu said, "I have no problem having two girlfriends."
Ammy said, "But she had four boyfriends, and including me, five."
Abhimanyu said, "And people call me a playboy."
Ammy laughed and said, "Because you act like one."
Abhimanyu said, "I have to go somewhere."
Ammy asked, "Where?"
Abhimanyu said, "Come along and see."
Abhimanyu and Ammy then flew to a construction site where Ramika was already waiting.
Ramika became nervous seeing Ammy.
Abhimanyu said, "Don't worry."
Ramika said, "That man has come to meet those people."
Abhimanyu, Ammy, and Ramika were flying through the air. Ammy's wings were white, Abhimanyu's were black, and Ramika was flying with the help of black smoke. From above, they saw Ratan meeting with some men.
Ratan asked, "Where is my daughter?"
One of the men replied, "You can meet your daughter later. First, you have to do a task for us. Tomorrow, you need to assassinate a minister. We called you here to plan this."
Ratan said, "Let me see my daughter first."
The man showed him a gun and said, "If you insist again, your daughter will be killed. Just do what you're told. Tomorrow, you'll go to the cabinet meeting, enter the bathroom, find a gun there, and kill the minister."
Abhimanyu heard Sally say, "This man belongs to your uncle's party."
Abhimanyu replied, "So, this is the man planning to kill my uncle."
Smiling, Abhimanyu said, "Let's meet him."
Abhimanyu landed on the roof of the building with Ammy, holding two loaded pistols.
Abhimanyu said, "This should be enough, right?"
Ammy replied, "Yes."
They descended the stairs slowly. Abhimanyu said, "You guys think you're very clever, don't you?"
One man pointed a gun at Abhimanyu, but Abhimanyu shot him in the head before he could fire.
Abhimanyu said, "You didn't think there could be someone in the minister's family who could eliminate all of you." Saying this, he began shooting everyone one by one. Ammy also joined in, and soon all the terrorists were dead.
Abhimanyu looked at Ratan and said, "Your daughter is safe. She has been rescued."
Ratan, recognizing Abhimanyu, asked, "Have I seen you before?"
Abhimanyu replied, "Maybe at some party."
Ratan remembered, "You two were the ones causing a commotion at the party, my daughter's students."
Abhimanyu smiled, "You have a good memory. Your daughter is safe and will be home by morning. She's currently resting at my house."
Ratan thanked him, but when he turned around, Abhimanyu and Ammy had disappeared.
Ratan searched around but found no one. When he came back, even the bodies had vanished without a trace of blood. Confused, Ratan headed home.
Meanwhile, Abhimanyu and Ammy returned to their house.
Abhimanyu said, "I'm going for training."
Ammy said, "I need to strengthen my body too."
Abhimanyu agreed, "Alright, let's go together." They then entered the ring.
Ammy went to a pool of Amritjal, added some medicine, and heated it with her powers. As it began to boil, she took off her clothes and got in to bathe.
On the other side, Abhimanyu started his angel meditation.
By morning, they emerged from the ring.
Ammy wished, "I wish I had a ring like this too."
Abhimanyu replied, "I searched many markets for such a divine item but found nothing like this."
Ammy said, "No worries. I made my own storage ring. It can't hold living beings, but I can store my things in it."
Abhimanyu smiled and said, "Are you going to wake them up?"
Ammy snapped her fingers, and everyone woke up.
Sidharth, Jin Gyong, and Kashmira woke up on different sofas.
Jin Gyong, waking up, said, "I had a good sleep, but did we fall asleep outside?"
Abhimanyu said, "Yes, you all suddenly fell asleep, so I took care of the remaining terrorists."
Abhimanyu told Kashmira, "Call home and inform them of your safety. I have to go back to join."
Sidharth said, "I'm leaving too. I need to go to Bangalore for the next clue."
Jin Gyong said, "I'll come too."
Kashmira and Ammy also expressed their desire to go.
Abhimanyu said, "We're not going to get sweets there, Kashmira. It's dangerous."
Kashmira replied, "It's dangerous here too. Besides, I need to be with Sidharth."
Abhimanyu agreed, "Fine. I've spoken to the Army chief. We have some leave but can be called back in an emergency."
Sidharth said, "I heard they were going to give you a mission. How did you get leave so soon?"
Abhimanyu said, "Because I completed the mission last night—the minister assassination mission."
Kashmira said, "I'll book the flight tickets."
As Kashmira booked the tickets, Abhimanyu said, "According to the direction of the arrow at Shivpura temple, the place is near this village."
Abhimanyu opened his phone and showed a map of a village called Pushpgarh.
Sidharth asked, "How can you be so sure?"
Abhimanyu replied, "Think of me as a genius geographical calculator."
A while later, Kashmira returned, saying, "Tickets are booked, but we need to leave now."
Sidharth asked, "Have you informed your family?"
Kashmira replied, "Yes, but they don't know where I am. They forbade me from going anywhere."
Abhimanyu said, "Riya must be coming here then."
Just then, Riya appeared and said, "Not coming, already here. Kashmira, where are you going? And what are Abhimanyu and Ammy doing here?"
Abhimanyu replied, "We're going to Bangalore for some work."
Riya asked, "What kind of work?"
Abhimanyu said, "Just searching for some ruins."
Riya said, "I'll come too. I just finished a mission and have some time off."
Kashmira, surprised, asked, "What kind of army are you in where you do a mission and then can go anywhere?"
Riya replied, "I took leave."
Kashmira said, "Don't lie. I know you're not just a simple soldier."
Riya, looking at Abhimanyu, said, "Did you tell her? This is confidential."
Abhimanyu said, "I didn't tell her anything. She's just guessing."
Kashmira said, "It's not a guess. I figured it out from your behavior. You're a special team, different from regular soldiers, and you have special powers."
Riya, confused, asked, "Special powers?"
Abhimanyu intervened, "She means martial arts, like your butterfly technique and demon technique."
Riya said, "Oh, that. Yes, we're all expert martial artists."
Kashmira, looking at Abhimanyu, said, "So she doesn't know."
Abhimanyu said, "Yes, there's a secret team in the army, including me, Riya, and Sidharth. It's very confidential, so don't talk about it outside." He then glared at Jin Gyong.
Jin Gyong said, "Why are you glaring at me? I won't tell anyone."
Abhimanyu said, "Also, those powers are rare and not related to our team."
Riya asked, "What kind of powers?"
Abhimanyu said, "The demon technique and butterfly technique."
Riya said, "Those are techniques, not powers. Anyone can learn them."
Abhimanyu said, "Yes, but not everyone has learned them. Can you control the demon technique now?"
Riya said, "Only for 5 seconds."
Abhimanyu said, "Use it only in emergencies. It's hard to control."
Riya asked, "How long can you control it?"
Abhimanyu smiled and said, "I can control it for a long time."
Jin Gyong said, "We should find the other two protectors."
Black Dragon said, "I know one of them. He's Abhimanyu's cousin, Vikrant."
Jin Gyong said, "The Sand protector?"
Black Dragon said, "Yes, but I don't know the last girl."
Ammy said, "The last girl is Nina Watson. She works under Abhimanyu."
Sidharth, glaring at Abhimanyu, said, "You knew about us but didn't tell us. Why?"
Abhimanyu said, "Because I didn't know what the protectors were."
Sidharth asked, "When did you know about us?"
Abhimanyu thought and said, "About two years ago."
Kashmira asked, "How did you know Sidharth if you're new and haven't officially joined?"
Abhimanyu smiled and said, "The same way I knew Riya didi."
Kashmira asked, "Riya, what's your code name, like Sidharth's Black Dragon?"
Riya, looking at Sidharth, said, "Black Dragon?" She almost fainted, but Abhimanyu caught her.
Riya said, "You're the legendary Black Dragon! No one knew your identity except the army chief."
Abhimanyu cleared his throat and said, "By the way, I knew. So did your sister Kashmira."
Riya asked Kashmira, "How do you know him?"
Kashmira said, "He's my boyfriend. We've been in a relationship for four years."
Hearing this, Riya almost fainted again.
Abhimanyu said, "Enough, he's just Black Dragon."
Riya softly said, "Black Dragon is my brother-in-law. Black Dragon is my brother-in-law."
Riya kept repeating the same thing.
Abhimanyu said, "Riya didi considers Black Dragon her idol."
Jin Gyong said, "She seems more like a crazy fan of a pop star who even finds the smell of their poop pleasant."
Ammy said, "That's a pretty gross example."
Jin Gyong said, "There are such crazy fans."
Riya regained consciousness and said, "Black Dragon, I'm a huge fan of yours. Whenever I heard about your feats, I wanted to become like you."
Black Dragon said, "Thank you."
Riya said, "I can't believe you were my sister's boyfriend and today I'm able to see you."
Abhimanyu said, "Maybe you're forgetting that I'm here too."
Riya said, "Yeah, yeah, I taught you everything. Now that the student has grown up, will he surpass his teacher?"
Abhimanyu said, "Maybe you're forgetting that I taught you the demon technique."
Riya said, "Alright, alright, we'll talk about that later. By the way, my name is Crimson Butterfly."
Jin Gyong said, "Isn't that a weird name? From Black Dragon to Crimson Butterfly?"
Riya said, "I got my name based on my technique, just like Black Dragon has his Dragon technique and—"
Abhimanyu interrupted, "Alright, we're getting late for the flight. Bye, Riya."
Riya said, "I told you, I'm coming too."
Abhimanyu said, "But the flight tickets—"
Riya said, "I'll book them on the way."
She took out her phone and booked her ticket.
They all headed to the airport. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister and Commissioner Khanna had reached Delhi and were attending the meeting.
Jasmine was secretly providing them protection from a distance.
Several issues were raised in the meeting, but the main topic was the establishment of an American company in India, with several branches opening in different states. This company was Parker Industries, owned by Dre Parker.
A minister said, "But he manufactures weapons. If he sells those weapons in our country, it won't be good for our youth."
The lawyer representing Dre Parker said, "Look, he's not here to sell weapons to the public. He will sell weapons only to the government, and that too in partnership with the government. They will have complete data. In other states, he wants to expand his other businesses. His business isn't just about weapon dealing."
The discussion went on for a long time, covering various other topics as well.
Meanwhile, Abhimanyu and his group had reached a hotel near the military headquarters in Bangalore by evening.
Abhimanyu said, "I need to join the camp once, then I can come out."
Kashmira said, "I still can't believe an army soldier is joining the camp just for formality."
Abhimanyu said, "It's not just one secret department. There are different secret departments for various tasks, and they have such soldiers. For public safety, security, and human rights, they are kept secret, and the common public has no clue about them. If our Prime Minister is a traitor, we can eliminate him too, but nothing like that has happened so far. Most politicians are in power and ruling the country, so they wouldn't be against the country."
Kashmira said, "Yes, that's true."
Abhimanyu then put on his uniform, grabbed his military bag, and started to leave.
Kashmira asked in surprise, "Do you always carry your luggage with you?"
Black Dragon said, "Maybe he has some magical item."
Kashmira said, "Magical item?"
Black Dragon said, "Yes, there are quite a few magical items available in the market, and sometimes you can get them at a very low price."
Kashmira asked in amazement, "Magical things? Do you have such items too?"
Black Dragon smiled and said, "Yes, in the army's secret department, we have some advanced technology and some mystical items too."
Abhimanyu, wearing his uniform, said, "You'll find out about all this gradually, but for now, I need to join my camp. You all stay here, I'll be back soon."
Abhimanyu headed towards the camp, while the rest of the group waited at the hotel.
