Maya Joshi was deep in thought, contemplating her next move. She needed to locate Unknown Person, but there were significant challenges in her way. Her primary concern was ensuring that he did not join the Indian Hunter Association, which could complicate matters. Moreover, she was still in the dark about his abilities and strengths.
Maya Joshi: I know I will find this guy eventually, but there's one problem: he must not join the Indian Hunter Association. Plus, I still don't know what his powers are. To handle this, I need the best of the best on my side. I'll call the top five powerful hunters in India. There's a chance he might attack me, so having these experts around will be crucial.
She prepared a plan to summon the top five hunters known for their exceptional skills. These were the elite of the elite, each with unique and formidable talents:
1. Game Yadav – A master of dagger combat, renowned for his precision and deadly strikes.
2. Pinky Sharma – An exceptional archer with unparalleled accuracy and speed in bowmanship.
3. Irfan Khan – A skilled swordsman with impressive sword fighting techniques and strategic combat abilities.
4. Koro Das – Known for his extraordinary physical strength and agility, making him a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat.
5. Afrin Ansari – A 19-year-old prodigy, acclaimed as the best healer in India, capable of powerful and rapid recovery spells.
Maya Joshi: set up a meeting with these top hunters. Their combined expertise should help us get closer to finding Unknown Person and understanding his capabilities."
She made arrangements to contact and convene these elite hunters, ensuring that they were all available for the critical meeting.
Note: The Indian Hunter Association and Maya Joshi do not know the true identity of Arjun Malhotra. The chapter concludes with Maya's preparations to bring together the best hunters for this crucial task.
In a high-rise boardroom, the air was charged with anticipation as Maya Joshi addressed the elite hunters gathered before her. The room was filled with a mix of determination and underlying tension.
Maya Joshi: Thank you all for coming. Today's meeting is crucial. We need to track down a mysterious individual who recently killed a formidable monster. Our objectives are twofold: first, we need to bring him into the Indian Hunter Association; second, we must uncover his true identity and assess whether he's a friend or foe. The Chairman has tasked us with this mission, so let's get to it. Are you all ready?
Game Yadav: I just want to know, what's in it for us if we find this guy? Personally, I'm looking forward to a chance to battle him.
Pinky Sharma: Really, Game? Is that all you think about? You sound like a kid asking for toys.
Game Yadav's face darkened with irritation.
Game Yadav: Pinky, watch your mouth. Don't cross the line."
A heated exchange quickly escalated between Game Yadav and Pinky Sharma.
Pinky Sharma: What's your problem, Game? Just because you lost your captaincy doesn't mean you have to throw a tantrum.
Game Yadav: Lost? I didn't lose anything. You stole it! You were given the captaincy because of your connections, not your skill.
Pinky Sharma: Oh, please! You were outperformed. The team needed a real leader, not someone who's always lost in his own world.
Game Yadav: And you think you're a better leader? You've done nothing but stir trouble since taking over!
Pinky Sharma: At least I'm not a sore loser who can't accept defeat. Get over it!"*
Their bickering grew louder, and Maya Joshi intervened to defuse the situation.
Maya Joshi: Enough! Irfan, can you explain why these two are at odds?
Irfan Khan: Sure, Maya. All of us here were once part of the same guild, the Indian Heroes Guild. We faced a massive defeat against Australia in the Hunter World Cup. After that loss, there was a shake-up in leadership. Game Yadav was the captain of the Indian team and also the head of the Indian Heroes Guild. Following our defeat, he was removed from his position and Pinky took over as captain. The Indian Hunter Association then implemented new rules for the Indian Guild War, allowing only two top hunters from each guild. I was pushed out and joined a different guild. Game Yadav left and formed his own guild, the King of Empires Guild.
Maya Joshi: Afrin, which guild are you part of?
Afrin Ansari: I'm with the Serenity Healers Guild.
Maya Joshi's frustration showed as she realized the divisions within the group.
Maya Joshi: Alright, here's what we're going to do. I'll spread rumors about a fake mysterious monster. If our target comes to take it down, we'll have our chance to confront him. In the meantime, Game Yadav, Pinky Sharma, you two focus on your plans and let's see how this unfolds. If everything goes as planned, your demands will be fulfilled.
Everyone nodded in agreement, albeit with a mix of apprehension and hope.
Pinky Sharma: Just don't let this backfire, Maya. I'm not in the mood for another mess.
Game Yadav: And remember, if this doesn't work out, don't expect me to be patient forever.
Maya Joshi: Understood. Let's move quickly. We have a lot riding on this.
The tension in the room was palpable as each hunter prepared for the tasks ahead. Unspoken rivalries and unresolved conflicts simmered beneath the surface, adding an extra layer of complexity to their mission.
