Chapter 34: White Dragon

After reaching the villa, all the police officers aimed towards Justin and said, "Freeze! Where were you and where is Hussain?"

Justin, lying, asked, "Who's Hussain? I was at my girlfriend's house. You can ask my girlfriend or check the CCTV footage there." In reality, he was initially at his girlfriend's house but upon hearing about Hussain's arrival at the villa, he secretly made his way there.

After some questioning and searching, when they didn't find any leads, the police left.

After they left, Justin said, "Alright, that problem is solved. Now we just need to bring Kapoor to his knees."

On the other hand, Abhimanyu and Nitya had arrived at the school, but the bodyguards were not allowed inside.

Nitya suggested, "Let's go straight to the classroom."

Abhimanyu went with Nitya to her classroom and took an empty seat. All the students were surprised to see the new boy with Nitya.

At that moment, the teacher, Ramesh Aggarwal, entered the class. He said, "Good morning, students. I've heard that a new student is joining us today. Abhimanyu, would you like to introduce yourself?"

Abhimanyu stood up from his seat and said, "Hello, classmates. My name is Abhimanyu." With that, he sat back down.

In the class, there were Priya, Sunder, Desai, Yash, their friends, and Hritik. They had all seen Abhimanyu before.

Sunder had asked Priya about him, but she didn't say anything, and he couldn't figure it out. Priya knew he was from Agrasen Lion, but she didn't know which school. She thought Abhimanyu would only stay here for a few days, but he had already taken admission.

Ramesh said, "Nice to meet you, Abhimanyu. Alright, you can borrow notes from someone. I'll continue with the class."

Priya handed him a register, saying, "Here are combined notes for all subjects until now."

Abhimanyu flipped through the pages of the register and then returned it, saying, "Thank you."

Priya asked, "Don't you need the notes?"

Abhimanyu replied, "I stay at Nitya's house, so I can take them from her."

Sunder and the other students overheard this conversation. Sunder was now convinced that Abhimanyu was somehow related to Kapoor and had become part of Kapoor Corporation.

In his mind, Sunder thought, "So, I can't get Kapoor Corporation anymore. No, no, the rightful owner is still Nitya. Illegitimate ones won't get anything. Maybe they'll have some mercy on Ravish Kapoor."

A few hours later, school was dismissed. Then, a girl named Neha Panchal approached Priya and Nitya, asking, "Are you both coming to my birthday party?"

Priya responded, "I'll come, but Nitya..."

Abhimanyu interrupted, asking Nitya, "If you want to go, let me know."

Nitya replied, "Dad won't allow me to go out at night."

Abhimanyu reassured her, "I'll convince him."

Nitya told Neha, "Okay, if Dad agrees, I'll come."

Neha then turned to Sunder and asked, "Are you coming too?"

Sunder replied, "Yes, sure, where is it?"

Neha said, "Youngsters Club, at 10:30 PM." With that, she left.

Abhimanyu asked, "Youngsters Club?"

Nitya explained, "It's the most famous club in the city, only available for the wealthy. If you're from the upper class, you can book it."

Abhimanyu inquired, "Whose place is it?"

Nitya said, "I don't know."

Sunder added, "Only very high-level people know that it belongs to Andrews, the Mafia."

Abhimanyu asked, "You mean Mafia Andrews Das?"

Sunder wondered, "How do you know him?"

Abhimanyu replied, "I don't know him, just heard of him."

Sunder confirmed, "Yeah, that's the one."

Abhimanyu, smiling at Nitya, said, "So, it'll be difficult to convince your dad. How come a Mafia owns such a rich-class club? How do people trust it?"

Sunder laughed, "What do people care who owns it? It's a club where top-class facilities and expensive illegal wine are available."

Abhimanyu asked Nitya, "Is your friend going there to drink wine? Why did she book this club unnecessarily?"

Nitya replied, "It's a status game."

Sunder teased, "Who are you trying to understand? Someone who has never stepped out of their slum?"

Abhimanyu ignored him.

Priya said, "If you're not going, then I'm not going either."

Nitya held Abhimanyu's hand and pleaded, "Please help me convince Dad."

Abhimanyu said, "It'll be dangerous for you there, so I won't be able to convince him either."

Nitya said, "I have an idea. If Dad isn't home..."

Abhimanyu interrupted, asking, "What mischief are you planning?"

Nitya explained, "Look, Mom hates you. So, if we have an argument at home about me wanting to go to the club and you trying to stop me, Mom will definitely send me away. Then, the entire blame will fall on Mom."

Abhimanyu expressed concern, "But what if something goes wrong at the club?"

Nitya pleaded, "Please, can't you do this too?"

Abhimanyu replied, "I'll think about it."

Nitya hugged him happily and said, "Thanks."

They both left the classroom, and so did everyone else.

Abhimanyu dropped Nitya off at home and then drove somewhere.

At that moment, Abhimanyu was heading to Pathan's place because he had received information that Hussain Transport's new CEO was appointed, and Hussain's body was found in Goa. So, he was going there to investigate.

Abhimanyu first went to Pathan's workshop. As soon as they saw him, they recognized him. Then, a man approached him and said, "Hello, brother, what are you doing here?"

Abhimanyu asked, "Where is Pathan?"

The man replied, "He must be in the main office of Hussain Transport. He has just been appointed as the CEO there."

Abhimanyu asked, "By whom?"

The man said, "I don't know. Only Pathan knows about it."

Abhimanyu then headed straight to Hussain Transport's main office. The security guard asked him what business he had inside.

Abhimanyu replied, "I'm the new CEO of this company."

The guard asked, "Really?"

Abhimanyu said, "Yes, I'm his nephew."

The guard scrutinized Abhimanyu from head to toe and also looked at his car. He seemed wealthy but dressed like a studious student, whereas the new CEO looked like a thug.

The guard said, "Okay, I'll inform upstairs. I'll send you in only after getting permission."

He informed someone via phone, and after a while, he went to inform the man himself.

Pathan said, "I don't have a nephew."

The man handed the phone to Pathan.

Abhimanyu said, "But you do have a father, right?"

Pathan asked, "Who's talking?"

Abhimanyu replied, "Abhimanyu."

Pathan asked in surprise, "Brother, are you here?"

Abhimanyu asked, "Will I get to meet you now?"

Pathan said, "Okay, brother, come to the CEO's office on the 13th floor."

Abhimanyu had kept the speaker on, so the security guard heard the conversation as well. Abhimanyu then disconnected the call and put the phone in the guard's pocket.

The guard, giving his ID, said, "You'll need this to go inside."

Abhimanyu ignored him and walked past the barrier into the company, tampering with the security footage around the company premises. Whenever there was any illegal activity, Abhimanyu always deleted the surrounding security footage.

He reached the CEO's office directly and drew curtains before approaching Pathan to attack him.

Pathan, noticing Abhimanyu's demeanor, asked, "What's wrong, brother? You seem angry."

Abhimanyu questioned, "How did you suddenly start managing Hussain Transport when its owner's body was found in Goa, and his family isn't saying anything about it?"

Pathan replied, "I don't know, brother. Suddenly, Samuel called me and told me to handle all of Hussain's work from now on."

Abhimanyu asked, "Who is Samuel?"

Pathan explained, "Samuel is Andrews' right-hand man. Andrews controls everything in Mumbai's underworld. He's the king here."

Abhimanyu speculated, "So, did Samuel organize Nitya Kapoor's kidnapping?"

Pathan said, "I don't know about that, but he also used to work with Andrews. If Hussain's body was found in Goa, then this must be Justin's doing."

Abhimanyu inquired, "His elder brother?"

Pathan nodded, "Yes, brother. I think first Hussain betrayed Andrews and went to Justin to save himself. Then either Justin killed him to erase the evidence, or Andrews killed him to betray him."

Abhimanyu asked, "Where can I find Andrews?"

Pathan suggested, "I don't know, brother, but there's a man who can tell Samuel's whereabouts."

Abhimanyu questioned, "Who?"

Pathan replied, "Nitin. He owns the Youngsters Club, but in reality, he works for Samuel, and that club belongs to him too."

Abhimanyu agreed, "Okay, but how will you inform him?"

Pathan asked, "Are you planning to attack Andrews?"

Abhimanyu confirmed, "Yes, that's what I'm thinking. He has ruled Mumbai for too long. It's time for a change. If you support me, you'll be the next king of Mumbai."

Pathan hesitated, "But, brother, you won't be able to defeat Samuel. He's a martial artist and very powerful. It's because of him that Andrews could rule Mumbai."

Abhimanyu requested, "Can you tell me about Samuel's background?"

Pathan explained, "Ten years ago, Andrews was on a ship smuggling drugs, and Samuel attacked him. At that time, Samuel was the killer of another group. However, several fighters attacked him too, belonging to a different group. They beat him badly and threw him into the water, where Andrews found him, treated his injuries, and brought him ashore. Samuel felt indebted, and according to his organization's rules, you have to repay a debt in any situation. So, his organization let him go easily, and Samuel started working for Andrews."

Abhimanyu said, "Alright, now tell me the location of that club."

He then asked Pathan for a photo of Nitin.

Abhimanyu then drove straight to the club and headed towards an office where Nitin was sitting.

There was a bouncer standing outside who asked, "Who do you want to meet?"

Abhimanyu punched him in a vital point, rendering him unconscious, and walked straight into Nitin's office. Nitin was sitting behind a desk, and a girl was kneeling under the table, apparently doing something with his pants. As Abhimanyu entered, Nitin was slightly startled but composed himself and asked, "How did you come in without permission, and who are you?"

Abhimanyu replied, "You're Nitin, right?"

Nitin confirmed, "Yes."

As Abhimanyu approached, he grabbed Nitin's tie, slammed his face onto the table, and began beating him. The girl, who had been apprehensive, watched in silence as Abhimanyu signaled her to stay quiet by putting a finger to his lips.

Abhimanyu continued to assault Nitin, who, though a capable fighter, was currently in no condition to fight back due to his intoxicated state and Abhimanyu's relentless attack.

Abhimanyu vented his anger on Nitin's face for a while before directing his blows towards his abdomen.

Nitin, inquired, "Brother, what do you want?"

Abhimanyu responded, "I'm a friend of Samuel. I've come a long way to meet him. I heard you know Samuel's whereabouts. I couldn't judge your age, so I thought of beating you first to show you that I'm a dangerous man."

Nitin admitted, "Brother, I'm also Samuel's man. Samuel is currently in his villa near Juhu Beach." He provided Abhimanyu with the complete address.

Abhimanyu said, "Alright then." Just then, Saily spoke up, "Boss, we can't find any data on this girl."

Abhimanyu asked the girl, "Who are you?" She remained silent, looking nervous and glancing at Nitin. Her lips still had a sticky substance on them.

Abhimanyu resumed beating Nitin in anger, not giving him a chance to put his pants back on.

Suddenly, some bouncers arrived. Nitin ordered them, "Beat him!"

The bouncers attempted to attack Abhimanyu, but he swiftly fought them off, using his hands, feet, and Nitin's tie. In no time, he had the situation under control.

Abhimanyu then slammed Nitin's head onto the table again, causing a trickle of blood to flow from his forehead.

Abhimanyu then turned to the girl and asked again, "Who are you? Tell me, or your condition will be like theirs."

The girl, named Rose, tearfully replied, "My name is Rose, and I'm from Mexico. These people forcefully brought me here and make me do pleasure work. I don't even have a passport, so I can't leave from here. If I try to escape, they'll kill me. Please, save me."

Abhimanyu, furious, turned back to Nitin and asked, "Is this true?"

Blood was streaming down Nitin's face, and his face was badly bruised. He said, "Yes, this is Andrews' doing. They collaborate with the Mexican Mafia to trade girls between here and Mexico. Rose is one of them."

Abhimanyu inquired, "How many girls have been kidnapped so far, and how many are here?"

Nitin replied, "I don't know the exact number, but every year, around 50 girls come from Mexico, and 50 girls are sent from here to Mexico. Then they are sold to different clubs and other places. All the girls are top models, so their prices are very high. Some top girls are kept by them, and they also do their business. This club is famous for this reason too because you can book top models from here."

Abhimanyu said, "Give me the data about this place first, and I'll extract the rest of the information from this Andrews. First, tell me, does Samuel manage all these businesses too?"

Nitin replied, "No, he knows about this business, but he has never been involved in it. He's just Andrews' bodyguard and assistant, nothing more."

Abhimanyu then said, "For now, I'm going to see Samuel because he's a good friend. But if after I leave, you harm any of the girls here, I'll kill you first, then I'll take Andrews down, and rescue Samuel to take him back to our village." With that, he left.

After his departure, Nitin immediately called his boss, Andrews, and said, "Boss..."

Andrews, who was currently with a girl, interrupted, "What happened? Why are you calling?"

Nitin explained, "Boss, a friend of Samuel came, and he beat us like dogs. He said he'll mark you and take Samuel back with him. He even talked about shutting down our business with the girls.Boss he also took all the data that I had"

Andrews replied, "Stay right there. I'm coming." With that, he dismissed the girl, got dressed, and left.

Abhimanyu was eavesdropping on their conversation by hacking into their signal and learned that Andrews was coming here shortly. Smiling, Abhimanyu said to himself, "Now this data will go straight to the Intelligence Bureau." He immediately sent the data to his grandfather and asked him to forward it to the IB chief. Within an hour, police raids began in various clubs across the country, and many girls mentioned in the data were found. Unfortunately, some of the girls had already lost their lives for unknown reasons. Soon, a police raid was conducted at the Youngsters Club, and all the girls were rescued. Nitin was taken into custody. When Andrews arrived, he was taken to the police headquarters for questioning.

There, he was interrogated about why these Mexican girls, who didn't even have passports, were kept in the club. The police only knew that these clubs housed Mexican girls without passports. So far, no search had been conducted on Andrews' island because there was no evidence against him.

After some time, Andrews and Nitin were released, but the girls were taken into custody. They were only charged with providing shelter to illegal immigrants. The case was now with the IB, and they had to solve where these girls came from, how they came, and who was running this racket.

As Andrews sat in his car, he received a recording from an unknown number. In the recording, a boy was saying, "Samual sir, please come with us. Our tribe needs you. You've already worked with that low-life for a long time, and you've saved his life many times. Saving his life once was enough; now he should have been your servant."

Samual replied, "You don't understand. I want to leave that low-life, but I can't just leave like this. Right now, I don't know about those Mexican people, how they bring girls here. I have to save the girls from this country as well. After that, I'll take care of Andrews myself."

After playing the recording, it deleted itself. Andrews didn't pay attention to this and angrily threw his phone against the windshield. He muttered, "That dog wants to steal our business from me and my Mexican friends. That's why he's becoming so loyal."

In reality, Abhimanyu had collected several samples of Samual's voice and created a deepfake recording, which he sent to Andrews.

Abhimanyu said to himself, "Let's see the drama unfold." It was already around eight at night. Abhimanyu had to leave, but for now, he continued to follow Andrews.

After a half-hour drive, Andrews arrived at a villa near Juhu Beach. Abhimanyu also reached there and approached the window of the villa.

After Andrews entered, two martial artists also arrived and went inside with him. Andrews kicked the gate of a room and shouted, "You bastard, now you'll even betray your master?"

Samual, who was meditating, was startled and asked, "Boss, what are you saying?"

Andrews replied, "You're still trying to play smart, huh? Wait, I'll teach you a lesson."

At that moment, both martial artists simultaneously kicked Samual with a dragon kick, sending him flying back.

Samual, rising to his feet, said, "What are you saying, boss?"

At that moment, another man kicked him, causing Samual to fall back.

Andrews said, "Did you think I wouldn't keep any of my own people around to deal with you? These guys are top martial artists in the underworld too."

Samual asked, "But boss, why do you want to get rid of me?"

Andrews replied, "Because you've become a thorn in my side. First, I'll deal with you, then your gang."

Samual got up again, and the martial artist kicked him once more. This time, Samual caught the kick and struck the man's leg with a powerful blow, breaking his bone. Then, he delivered a crushing blow to the man's head, like smashing a watermelon.

Samual then grabbed the other martial artist and snapped his neck.

He said, "I only worked for scum like you because you saved my life. But now that you've tried to take it, and I've saved yours multiple times, we're even. I'm leaving."

Andrews muttered, "You traitor! You were the one who betrayed me first."

Samual smiled and said, "Let's settle this outside, with our comrades. I'm leaving now."

Abhimanyu entered through the window and asked, "Where are you going?"
