Abhimanyu went to his room and entered his ring, where many slaves were working on producing Amritjal. After overseeing some of the work, he went to rest in his resting area.
On the other side, in Pushpgarh, Surya was meditating after tending to his fields and other work when he suddenly had a vision of a place with a sign that read "Rampur village." Following the path from the village, he saw a hill with a cave inside. In the cave, there was a small portal, about 314 cm in circumference, emitting a white light. The portal was so small that a person could only pass through it by lying down.
Surya then abruptly came out of his meditation as if he had woken up from sleep and said, "What was that place?" But after a while, he forgot everything and went back to his work.
On the other side, Abhimanyu had arranged Cherry's official ID and other papers, which Jasmine had delivered to her.
Abhimanyu had named her Cherry Pratap Singh, with no details about her parents, and listed his grandfather as her guardian.
Jin Gyong and Cherry had become good friends as they were of the same age.
Jin Gyong said, "Now you can come with me to Mumbai University."
Cherry wanted to experience college life with Jin Gyong, so Abhimanyu made all the arrangements for her admission. Abhimanyu had ordered Jasmine to fulfill Cherry's every demand, but Cherry didn't ask for much, so Jasmine took care of everything herself.
Jasmine gave Cherry a card with some money, telling her the password and saying, "There are 10 crores on this card. You can spend it as you wish."
Cherry said, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Jasmine said that Abhimanyu Sir mentioned you could use it as an investment to earn more money.
Cherry thought for a moment and kept the card.
Ammy was in her lab at the time, while Jasmine, Jin Gyong, and Cherry were living together in the house.
Meanwhile, in another room, a meeting was taking place with Abhimanyu's grandfather, Narsingh Pratap Singh, Army Chief Ravindra Narayan, and a few others who were of grandmaster level. Even though Abhimanyu was a demon lord and very powerful, he had not yet reached the grandmaster level. In his human form, he was still at the junior grandmaster level, unless he transformed into his demonic avatar, but he could lose control in that form, which he avoided because he wouldn't want to revert to a human. Anyway, people from some Indian organizations were present at the meeting.
Then a grandmaster named Udhav Thakre banged his hand on the table and said, "Why have we been called here with such urgency? What's the matter, will you tell us now?"
Narsingh Pratap Singh, Abhimanyu's grandfather, said, "One more person is yet to arrive." Just then, an empty chair was suddenly occupied by another grandmaster named Surendra Bhalla, the head of the Bhalla family from Punjab, which was expert in martial arts, much like Abhimanyu's family.
In total, there were 12 elderly people and Army Chief Ravindra Narayan present. Among them were 4 grandmasters and the rest were junior grandmasters, including Abhimanyu's grandfather Narsingh Pratap Singh, Army Chief Ravindra Narayan, Surendra Bhalla from the Bhalla family, and Swami Uthiyan Shastri from Kerala, who was the head of the Shastri family and an expert in Kalaripayattu. These five grandmasters were present in the conference room, representing India's top martial artists, along with other junior grandmasters, including Shivshankar Mathur, head of the Mathur family.
Shivshankar Mathur said, "Looks like the last member has arrived, must have been late meeting his daughter and son-in-law."
Surendra Bhalla, annoyed, said, "Stop your nonsense."
Shivshankar replied, "Your son-in-law has been quite calm for the past two years, and his company has reached great heights."
Surendra said, "Stop talking about them. They are no longer part of my family."
Narsingh Pratap Singh banged his hand on the table and said, "Alright, let's start the meeting. As martial arts families, you all know that there are many beings beyond our Earth, and some of them have their eyes on our planet. We've eliminated many powerful beings, mostly demons and shura. Demons have wings and can easily take human form. We don't know how they come to our Earth, but we know they call themselves demons, and shura always come here in spaceships, leading to major battles. We've done a lot of research by reverse-engineering their tools, but we haven't been able to capture one of their spaceships yet."
Surendra said, "Get to the point. We already know this."
Narsingh Pratap Singh said, "Recently, we've seen several shura spaceships in space, indicating they're preparing for war. We estimate around 100 spaceships, each carrying a grandmaster-level shura, identified by their purple horns. They look like humans but can be recognized by their horns. Two purple horns mean grandmaster level, two yellow horns mean junior grandmaster level, one purple horn means master level, and one yellow horn means junior master level. Each spaceship has one grandmaster, five junior masters, 50 masters, and 200 junior masters, so you can gauge the level of threat."
Hearing this, everyone present became silent and very tense.
Surendra Bhalla said, "You underestimated the grandmaster level. It takes at least two grandmasters to defeat one grandmaster-level shura, and there are only 30 grandmasters on Earth."
Narsingh Pratap Singh said, "You all have heard the stories of the five protectors."
A junior grandmaster said, "But those are just stories, right?"
Narsingh Pratap Singh placed some photos on the table and said, "Not at all. They've been sighted many times over the years. We don't know who currently possesses the power of these five protectors, but our hope lies in finding them. The phoenix has been seen many times in Uttarakhand. It used to appear only in Korea, indicating the person with its power went to Korea for some reason, got the power, and then came to Uttarakhand. This person could be an Indian with an 80% chance or from another country with a 20% chance. We need to list people who came from Korea to India in the last two years, especially during a specific month when it was last seen in Korea and first seen in India. According to our investigation, it was seen in Delhi for some time, meaning the person moved from Korea to Delhi and then to Uttarakhand. We need to identify those connected to these three places to find that particular person."
"We know the name of the second candidate, Nina Watson. Many people have seen her transform into a large snake, so she is definitely the naga mentioned in ancient texts. We have no clue about the other three candidates as they have never used their powers. Yes, there was talk about a miraculous bull, but it was killed by an eagle beast two years ago. We don't know who got its power after that."
Shivshankar said, "Should we approach Nina Watson?"
Surendra Bhalla said, "I've heard she is connected to your grandson, Abhimanyu Pratap Singh."
Narsingh Pratap Singh said, "I don't know much about their connection. We need to find the others before approaching her. Once we gather all the protectors, we will approach them together."
Uthiyan Shastri said, "I've heard that your grandson Abhimanyu Pratap Singh fought Nina Watson, and after defeating her, she started working under him. So, he controls the underworld of Mumbai and Goa, meaning he is quite powerful."
Narsingh Pratap Singh said, "We're not here to discuss how powerful my grandson is. We need to form an alliance for our defense so we are prepared for the battle."
Surendra Bhalla said, "We need to talk to international martial arts organizations for this."
Narsingh Pratap Singh said, "They know about this. A meeting related to this is going to happen on a military island in Japan within two days, where top martial artists from around the world will gather. I was instructed to inform you all about it. Since this meeting is happening quickly, I wanted to explain in detail what will be discussed. They will personally invite you soon. This concludes our meeting."
As everyone began to disappear from the room, Narsingh Pratap Singh, Abhimanyu's grandfather, also vanished and emerged from a VR set. Removing his helmet and getting out of bed, he said, "This VR is amazing. It makes meetings easier, but for the international meeting, we'll have to go in person. What a hassle."
On the other side, when Abhimanyu comes out of his room at eight in the evening, he sees that Mini is not there, and only Hemant is present.
Hemant says, "Come, I'll show you the bar."
Abhimanyu asks, "Where is Mini?"
Hemant replies, "She has gone to the bar as a customer. By the way, let me tell you, they use a different currency here called Ming, and one Ming is equal to one dollar."
Abhimanyu says, "Wow, they have their own currency too, amazing!" Saying this, he starts heading out of the house.
Hemant says, "Don't stand out too much, just follow quietly."
Hemant then takes Abhimanyu to the TNT bar in his car. After parking the car, they start walking towards the bar when a man lightly bumps into Abhimanyu, says sorry, and walks away.
A little while later, the same man looks into his purse, but it's empty. Frustrated, he throws the purse away and, turning around, he sees Abhimanyu looking at a purse with ten 10-Ming notes, totaling 100 Ming. Abhimanyu takes the money and tosses the purse aside.
Hemant says, "Stop doing things like this, or you'll attract unnecessary attention."
Abhimanyu says, "He was the one who tried to steal my purse."
Hemant then takes Abhimanyu inside the bar, points to a man, and says, "He is the manager here. If you want a job, you'll have to approach him." Saying this, he goes off to find Mini.
Abhimanyu closely observes all the waiters and then, looking at a man, says, "Found the perfect candidate."
The man Abhimanyu was looking at was a bartender standing next to Maria, making drinks and leering at the girls inappropriately. He was also staring improperly at Maria and another girl working with him.
Abhimanyu walks up to him and looks into his eyes. Abhimanyu's eyes suddenly turn black, then return to normal after a few moments.
The bartender then goes to the manager and slaps him, saying, "How dare you sleep with my wife! So what if you're the boss?"
Hearing this, the manager slaps him back and, throwing him out, says, "You've become very bold. I paid you for that job, and now you're acting like I took advantage of you? Get out and don't show your face here again!" Saying this, he throws the waiter out.
The manager, still furious, heads towards his office when Abhimanyu approaches him, his eyes turning black again, and says, "My name is Rohan, and I need a job here."
The manager says, "Alright, you can start working here from today, 100 Ming per day, and you can keep the tips."
Abhimanyu says, "Thank you."
Then the manager, back to normal, says, "Alright, come, let me show you your workstation and uniform." He takes Abhimanyu to his office.
A little while later, Abhimanyu comes out in a waiter's uniform.
The manager, looking at Abhimanyu, wonders why he hired him so quickly without a test.
Abhimanyu stands by the bar counter next to Maria but says nothing to her. Just then, a man orders a cocktail, asking Abhimanyu for a Black Manhattan with a cherry.
Maria asks Abhimanyu, "Can you make it?"
Abhimanyu shakes his head no, so Maria takes out some bottles and starts making the Black Manhattan.
Abhimanyu watches her in amazement. Maria was wearing very revealing clothes, but Abhimanyu could sense from her energy that she was a martial artist.
Maria serves the cocktail to the man and asks Abhimanyu, "Who hired you when you don't know how to do this job?"
Abhimanyu says, "I saw a vacancy here and immediately applied. I have knowledge about making drinks but never performed it practically."
Maria says, "Alright, I'll teach you. You make the next drink as I instruct."
Just then, another customer orders a martini.
Maria asks Abhimanyu, "Do you know the ingredients?"
Abhimanyu nods yes and, copying Maria's moves exactly, prepares the cocktail, which shocks Maria. This was all due to Saily's power.
Maria, surprised, says, "You seem experienced, what's the matter?"
Within a short time, Abhimanyu serves many drinks and starts serving them in his style, which some people watch like a show, and some girls keep staring at him because he is young and handsome.
The manager is pleased with Abhimanyu's work.
Then a girl approaches Abhimanyu and seductively says, "Darling, would you like to have some fun? Spend a night with me for 500 Ming."
Abhimanyu replies, "Sorry, but I'm just a bartender."
The girl says, "1000 Ming."
Abhimanyu says, "I told you, I don't sell my body."
The girl raises the offer to 5000 Ming.
Abhimanyu still refuses, and the girl angrily leaves.
After she leaves, Maria sighs in relief and says, "Good that you rejected her. Her boyfriend is the king of the South District and the owner of this bar, his name is Jack."
Just then, Rachel, the other girl standing next to Abhimanyu, says, "Would you like to spend the night with me?"
Abhimanyu says, "Not interested."
Rachel, a 24-year-old bold girl, says, "You are so boring. Guys your age dream of sleeping with a girl like me."
Abhimanyu says, "Right now, it's you dreaming of sleeping with me."
Rachel says, "Just wait, soon you'll be in my bed."
Saily comments, "She is so bold."
Abhimanyu says, "You don't need to learn from her."
Saily says, "I was just saying."
Just then, another customer comes, and Abhimanyu prepares a drink for them. Many people tip Abhimanyu, and one girl even kisses him on the cheek, though she tried to kiss him on the lips, which Abhimanyu didn't allow.
Abhimanyu asks Maria, "By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"
Maria replies, "Yes, I have one. He works in Jack's gang, but he is a total waste. I'm going to break up with him soon, just need to find someone else."
Abhimanyu asks, "Would you be interested in dating someone three years younger than you?"
Rachel says, "Hey, when I invited you, you rejected me."
Abhimanyu says, "It's a matter of interest."
Maria says, "Alright, but Rachel will be with us."
Rachel says, "It'll be a party to celebrate the arrival of our new colleague."
Rachel asks, "Where will we go? Everything is closed at night, and we need to rest during the day."
Maria says, "We can have a party at my place, it'll be fun."
Abhimanyu thinks, "Somehow, I need to hypnotize Maria and get information from her. For that, I need to meet her alone."
Abhimanyu then looks at Mini and signals with his hands that he won't be coming home tonight.
Mini understands the signal and gives an OK sign.
Abhimanyu continues his shift at the bar until 2 AM, then collects his salary from the manager and heads outside, where he sees Maria and Rachel waiting.
Rachel has a bullet bike which she and Maria use to come and go from the bar. This time, Abhimanyu sits behind them on the bike, and they head to Maria's house.
They haven't gone far when they encounter about five men standing in their way.
Abhimanyu recognizes one of them as the guy who tried to steal his purse earlier.
The man points to Abhimanyu and says, "Brother, this is the guy who stole my purse."
Abhimanyu gets off the bike and says to the man, "Hey, you also tried to steal my purse. Here, take 100 Ming, that's how much was in your purse."
The man says, "Now, give us all the money you have and leave both girls here."
The leader of the group says, "Tonight will be fun, two beautiful girls."
Abhimanyu says, "I forgot to mention that one of them is Jack's girlfriend. If you touch her, your death will be upon you."
Hearing this, the man gets scared and says, "Alright, alright, give us the money, and you can all go."
Abhimanyu says, "I only have 100 Ming. The rest I spent at the bar. Take it or leave it."
The man says, "Fine."
Abhimanyu gives him 100 Ming, and they leave with the girls.
Rachel says, "We barely escaped, but you lost 100 Ming. How foolish they were to believe one of us was Jack's girlfriend."
Abhimanyu says, "They probably thought no one would dare use Jack's name. They were fools to think anyone would ride on a bike with Jack's girlfriend."
A little later, they all reach Maria's house.
Maria prepares a dish and some drinks for everyone.
After eating the dish and having drinks, Rachel asks, "Hey Maria, does your boyfriend have any new items we haven't tried yet?"
Maria says, "No new drugs right now. He's probably out selling them, but I have some molly and cocaine." Saying this, she brings some molly.
All three take the pills.
Saily says, "I don't know what will happen to me."
Abhimanyu started feeling the effects of the drug, but he controlled his energy flow and began to absorb the new energy, while the other two were deeply intoxicated.
Abhimanyu looked into Mariya's eyes, and suddenly, his pupils turned black. He asked, "Do you know Human Hunter?"
Mariya shook her head.
Abhimanyu then showed her a photo and asked, "Have you met him?"
Mariya replied, "John, yes, I met him a week ago. Such an interesting character. He was asking about Jack."
Abhimanyu asked, "What was he asking?"
Mariya said, "He was asking about his girlfriend."
Abhimanyu asked, "The one at the bar?"
Mariya confirmed, "Yes, her name is Monica. She has a lot of money, but no one knows what she does except me."
Abhimanyu asked, "What does she do?"
Mariya explained, "She's in the organ business. In the fighting arena, whoever gets killed, she separates all their body parts and sells them worldwide. She doesn't leave a single important part of the body."
Abhimanyu asked, "What if I had slept with Monica tonight?"
Mariya replied, "By the next day, her boyfriend Jack would have separated all your body parts, and Monica would have sold them."
Abhimanyu asked, "How do you know all this?"
Mariya said, "Because Monica is my cousin."
Abhimanyu asked, "How many crimes have you committed?"
Mariya confessed, "I've been on this island all my life. For money, I've killed many people, done many illegal things, and also engaged in prostitution. My sister and I had a fight, and she started her business by making Jack her boyfriend. I sell my boyfriend's drugs at TNT Bar."
Mariya then detailed all the crimes she had committed.
Abhimanyu returned her to normal, and then Mariya, like Racheal, fell asleep.
Abhimanyu also fell asleep there so that no one would suspect anything.
