Chapter 84:Black dragon

After the event ended, there was a launching party, so everyone started heading towards the party venue.

The next day, Abhimanyu disguised himself and left for Kabul.

After reaching Kabul, without wasting much time, he started trying to track Mustafa's location with the help of Saily.

Abhimanyu then goes to the largest hotel in Kabul because that's where Mustafa was last seen.

When Abhimanyu reaches the hotel, he sits in the lobby and looks at the entire map.

Meanwhile, Saili hacks into the hotel's database, and all the footage of Mustafa appears in front of Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu sees that two days ago, when a big party was going on at the hotel, the hotel manager came to welcome Mustafa, and then they headed towards a garden at the back of the hotel, where there was a pool and some chairs.

But as soon as they entered that area, the footage disappeared.

Abhimanyu says, "Where is the footage?"

Saili says, "It's deleted."

Abhimanyu asks, "Can't you recover it?"

Saili replies, "I don't know, but maybe I can with the help of Dark Lord's software."

After a while, Saili manages to open a video in front of Abhimanyu. In the video, Mustafa arrives at the meeting with his men, and a prominent businessman from Kabul, who also owns the hotel, greets him with a bow. They were talking, but the video had no audio. A short time later, Mustafa killed the hotel manager, searched his pocket, found a small audio recorder, destroyed it, and shot the manager's dead body three or four more times.

After watching the video, Abhimanyu says, "I think Mustafa is up to something. We need to meet this hotel owner first to find out about Mustafa."

Saili says, "He is at a press conference right now."

Abhimanyu responds, "Alright, let's go say hello."

Abhimanyu then steps out and waits for a taxi to go to the press conference. He notices a Taliban vehicle patrolling the area.

Ignoring them, Abhimanyu heads to the press conference.

When Abhimanyu arrives at the press conference, it's already over, and the hotel owner is leaving to go to a nearby mosque for prayers. Abhimanyu tells Saili to keep tracking his phone's location.

Abhimanyu follows him into the mosque, and when he comes out, he sees the hotel owner getting into a car and driving away.

When Abhimanyu steps out, he hears the sound of gunfire a short distance away. Following the direction of the shots, he finds a Taliban commander who had just shot a man.

One of the Taliban men searches the body and finds a Pakistani passport, some other items, and a piece of a detonator.

The man says, "He was from Pakistan."

The Taliban commander then looks at the crowd and tells everyone to leave.

Abhimanyu starts to leave quietly.

Then the Taliban commander, looking at Abhimanyu, says, "You, stop right there."

Abhimanyu ignored them as if he hadn't heard anything.

Then the Taliban commander said in Afghan Persian, "Stop."

Abhimanyu stopped in his tracks and looked at them.

One of the Taliban officers called Abhimanyu over.

Abhimanyu slowly approached him. The officer asked, "What's your name?"

Abhimanyu replied, "Ashfaq."

The officer said, "Show your Tazkira."

Abhimanyu pulled out an Afghan Tazkira and showed it to them. He had gotten it illegally from a secret source as soon as he arrived.

The officer looked at it, then handed it back and told him to leave.

Abhimanyu took his Tazkira back and walked away.

He then caught a taxi and left the area.

A little while later, Abhimanyu was standing outside a villa that belonged to the same hotel owner.

He saw many guards patrolling the area, and Taliban soldiers were making rounds every five minutes.

Seizing an opportunity, Abhimanyu climbed over the villa wall and approached the house. He noticed an open window on the first floor. As he entered through the window, he heard a noise and quickly hid behind the curtain by the balcony.

The bathroom door in the room opened.

A knife suddenly appeared in Abhimanyu's hand.

A girl came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing and drying her hair with a towel.

She put on her clothes and left the room for dinner.

Abhimanyu emerged from behind the curtain and quietly exited the room. He saw the girl going down the stairs.

Looking down, Abhimanyu saw the hotel owner sitting and eating dinner.

He waited until their dinner was over and everyone had gone to their rooms. Abhimanyu then saw the hotel owner enter a separate room.

Abhimanyu hid and, after everyone was in their rooms, he quietly entered the hotel owner's room.

When Abhimanyu entered, the hotel owner was reading something on his phone.

Abhimanyu quickly placed a knife to his neck from behind and said, "If you move, your head will be separated from your body right here. Just tell me where Mustafa is and what he's planning, and why he killed your manager."

The hotel owner said, "I don't know. I don't know any Mustafa."

Abhimanyu played a video in front of him and said, "I hate people who lie."

The hotel owner said, "I really don't know where Mustafa is."

Abhimanyu saw that he was telling the truth.

Abhimanyu said, "I have some personal business with Mustafa. If you don't tell me where he is, I'll count to three. Three."

The hotel owner said, "Wait, I really don't know where he is."

Abhimanyu said, "Two."

The hotel owner said, "But he is supposed to marry my daughter in a few days."

Abhimanyu, surprised, said, "Marriage? But your daughter is only 16, and Mustafa is over 50."

The hotel owner said, "I didn't approve of this match, so I planned against him and tried to record his conversations at a meeting. He was deceiving the Taliban with financial dealings. When the Taliban found out, Mustafa would have been killed, but he found out first and killed my manager."

Abhimanyu asked, "How is he deceiving the Taliban?"

The hotel owner said, "Mustafa supplies weapons to the Taliban. He shows double the prices in the records while getting weapons at lower prices. Besides that, he is running an organization against the Taliban without their knowledge."

Abhimanyu said, "What buisness you do for Mustafa?"

The hotel owner said, "I used to supply opium for him and store it. Besides that, Mustafa would hide some weapons from the Taliban and supply them to foreigners. I helped him with that business too. But one day, he saw my daughter by mistake."

Mustafa told me he wanted to marry Sakina. When I refused, he threatened to kill me and expose me as a traitor to the Taliban. After that, he would marry my daughter. I want Mustafa to be caught; I don't want my daughter to fall into the hands of such a monster."

Abhimanyu removed the knife from his neck and said, "Alright, I'll keep an eye on you."

When the hotel owner turned around, Abhimanyu had disappeared.

Abhimanyu placed a spider camera, which looked like a spider, in the room to keep an eye on the hotel owner.

Later, Abhimanyu placed another spider camera near Sakina because Mustafa might meet her as well.

Abhimanyu rented a room in a nearby hotel and kept an eye on both of them.

For two days, Abhimanyu watched them, but Mustafa didn't come to meet them. The next day, suddenly, Mustafa entered the hotel owner's house and went straight to him. He said, "Rahim, I'm here to inform you that the wedding will take place this afternoon at your hotel. Come, everyone should get ready. I've come to take everyone."

Abhimanyu heard everything and headed to the hotel. There was heavy security, with Taliban officers and commanders patrolling everywhere in the hotel.

Abhimanyu slipped into the hotel by distracting the guards. He called a guest in a woman's voice, pretending to be someone else, and asked them to come to a room. When the guest arrived, Abhimanyu knocked them out, laid them on the bed, and put on their clothes. He also took the invitation card from the guest.

Abhimanyu calmly walked out, observing the scene. Soon, Mustafa arrived with Rahim and Sakina, accompanied by many soldiers armed with AK-47s and other assault rifles.

Abhimanyu went to the lobby, where everyone was waiting to welcome him. The hotel was still being decorated for the wedding. Gradually, many dignitaries from Afghanistan arrived, and some of Sakina's friends also came to prepare her. Mustafa remained seated as he was already ready. Everyone sat on the carpet, and Abhimanyu also sat among them.

Then, a girl, probably around 25 years old, wearing revealing clothes, came in, and music started playing. She began to perform a dance, accompanied by another girl. After the first song ended, an Indian song started playing, and it seemed like everyone knew the song well as they were all moving in rhythm with it.

Abhimanyu thought to himself, "On one hand, Mustafa wants to destroy India, and on the other, he is enjoying a dance to our songs."

Abhimanyu noticed that Mustafa had no intention of leaving the gathering. Just then, a man entered through the main gate with some officers. Mustafa immediately got up and went to greet him.

Abhimanyu thought, "This man must be someone important in the Taliban."

Abhimanyu was pondering who the main spot was for, as even Mustafa didn't sit there. But now he realized who it was for. Abhimanyu could have killed everyone there, but it was too risky, and innocent people could get hurt. So, he needed to capture Mustafa quietly.

The Taliban official and the other men sat down, and the dance resumed. Suddenly, Mustafa stood up and started walking towards the bathroom. Abhimanyu had been waiting for such a moment.

Abhimanyu moved towards the bathroom before Mustafa and went inside. When Mustafa entered, Abhimanyu attacked him with a strong spiritual blow, rendering him unconscious. Abhimanyu then put him inside the ring and left the bathroom. Since he couldn't go outside at that moment, he climbed the stairs and went into a room, from where he opened a window.

Just then, a girl's voice asked, "Who are you?"

Abhimanyu wanted to leave immediately, but it could be a bit tricky now. He said, "I am Ashfaq. You must be the bride."

The girl replied, "Yes, I am the bride. It's not polite to enter the bride's room without knocking." At that moment, Sakina's friends called from outside, "Sakina, have you changed your clothes? If you have, we are coming in."

The girl told Abhimanyu, "Leave quickly, or if someone sees you here, they will shoot you."

Abhimanyu replied, "Thank you for caring about me. I left a gift for you." Saying this, he jumped out of the window, immediately unfurled his black wings, hid behind the clouds, and released an invisible dragon from the ring, instructing it to go in a certain direction before returning to the ring.

Sakina, seeing Abhimanyu jump out of the window, rushed to the window but saw nothing outside, not even a body. Everything seemed normal outside as if nothing had happened.

Sakina found a piece of paper by the window, which was Abhimanyu's fake ID with the name "Ashfaq" on it. She picked it up and put it in her purse.

Sakina's friends entered and asked, "What are you doing by the window?"

Sakina replied, "Nothing." She then started putting on her jewelry and waited to be called downstairs.

A little later, Rahim came in and said, "Daughter, the wedding is canceled."

Surprised, Sakina asked, "Why? Did Mustafa find someone else, or did something happen?"

Rahim replied, "Mustafa is missing, and an investigation is underway. The last footage shows him going to the bathroom. Before that, a young man went into the bathroom alone and came out alone. Mustafa disappeared from the bathroom. No one knows anything about this young man, but he was last seen going up the stairs. After that, the footage wasn't recorded. No one knows who that young man was."

Sakina asked, "Can I see his picture?"

Rahim showed her a picture of the young man, who was Abhimanyu wearing a silicone mask.

Sakina said, "Father, he came to my room and jumped out of that window."

Rahim, surprised, looked out the window but saw nothing.

Rahim said, "How could someone survive jumping from here? Don't lie."

Sakina replied, "I am telling the truth, father. Look at his Tazkira."

Rahim took the Tazkira, looked at it, and said, "Don't mention this to anyone."

He put the Tazkira in his pocket and went downstairs.

Rahim told the Taliban commander, "I found this Tazkira near the stairs."

The Taliban commander entered the details into his phone and discovered it was a fake document.

The Taliban commander sent the young man's picture to all his officers, but no one had any clue about him. A while later, they received information from the airport that he had been seen by some Taliban officers two days ago. He had been spotted in several places since, always keeping an eye on Rahim.

The Taliban commander and everyone else began to wonder where Abhimanyu could be at that moment. The picture of Abhimanyu with the silicone face was spread everywhere. Meanwhile, everyone continued to search for Mustafa within the hotel, especially in the bathroom, checking for any secret exits.

A Taliban officer asked Rahim for the hotel's blueprint and thoroughly inspected it. There was no space for a secret passage. They even checked the floors and tiles but found nothing.

On the other hand, Sakina was very happy that she didn't have to marry Mustafa. She also thought about the man who had mentioned leaving her a gift.

Everyone was in the lobby, and several Taliban officers had arrived because an unconscious boy had been found in a room. It turned out that Ashfaq had stolen the invitation card and clothes from him. Now, they were questioning everyone about Ashfaq, how he managed to enter the hotel despite the heavy security, and how he disappeared along with Mustafa.

They also discovered that he had come from India two days earlier with a visa and passport as a tourist. The Taliban leader shouted angrily, realizing that an Indian had executed this plan so easily. They also found some clothes that Ashfaq had changed in the room where he had stolen the invitation card. Inside the clothes, they found a paper with a note in Hindi that read, "The food here is delicious."

The Taliban had the note read by someone who understood Hindi. Furious, they declared that Abhimanyu would not be able to leave the area and that they would not let him escape under any circumstances.

Sakina was astonished to learn that the man was an Indian and that his name might not have been Ashfaq. He had come like an angel to help her.

After some time, Abhimanyu arrived in India, put the dragon back into the ring, and calmly set foot on the ground. He placed Mustafa in a military car and drove to the military headquarters. Upon arrival, he saluted the Army Chief and reported, handing Mustafa over to him.

The Army Chief said, "Well done, Abhimanyu. Through him, we can take down his entire organization."

Later, Mustafa was placed in a cell. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in jail, with the Army Chief standing before him.

The Army Chief calmly said, "Now that you're awake, tell me about all your bases without wasting any more time."

Mustafa retorted, "No matter what you do, you won't get me to talk. You brought me here illegally. When the Taliban find out, they'll crush you like a mosquito."

The Army Chief slapped him hard, breaking his teeth, and then proceeded to beat him thoroughly. After about an hour of torture, Mustafa began to reveal the locations of all their bases.

The Army Chief then summoned several members of the Night Demons. Abhimanyu, Riya, and a few others, wearing their suits and masks, assembled. The Army Chief appointed Black Dragon as the team leader. There were only six of them in total.

This was the first time Abhimanyu saw Black Dragon. The Army Chief instructed them to attack all the group's hideouts in India simultaneously. The members saluted the Army Chief and left. For the next three days, they launched attacks on various hideouts of the organization, causing widespread destruction at each location.

A single Night Demon member was formidable enough for an attack, but when the whole team handled the task, it took only 5 to 10 minutes to demolish a hideout. Within three days, they completed their mission, and then they were given some time off.

Abhimanyu returned to his villa to rest and learned that Karishma had left for further training in Dehradun. Some time later, Abhimanyu received a letter for secret training that involved practical experience in operating fighter jets and other vehicles. The training would last for a week, and he wanted to rest for that week.

Abhimanyu then went into his ring and slept in a pool of Amritjal. He noticed that the Immortal Tree was shedding and regrowing leaves much faster.

With the help of spirit beasts, Abhimanyu created several pools and produced Amritjal. He could now produce one lakh bottles daily, filling his warehouses with genuine bottles. Most of the Amritjal was for his own use, but he still had enough to sell. The greed of the people made them regular customers of Amritjal, buying a bottle every week.

In one week, Abhimanyu prepared 7 lakh bottles and released them into the market.
