All around Shivam stretched a lush, vibrant forest, vastly different from the Eade forest he was accustomed to.

This forest, while still wild and untamed, felt more open and spacious.

It was seamlessly connected to the road, yet devoid of any surrounding community.

Nestled into the hills, it exuded a serene calmness, punctuated only by the gentle rustle of leaves and the occasional whisper of a breeze.

Towering trees adorned with rich green foliage reached towards the heavens, their branches forming an intricate canopy that filtered sunlight and cast scattered patches of warm glow upon the delicate ferns and wildflowers that carpeted the ground.

Shivam could hear the gentle rustling of leaves as a soft breeze whispered through the forest, creating a symphony of nature's melodies.

The forest air smelled fresh and clean, far from the noise of the city.

It felt like a secluded hideout, where secretive activities could take place away from prying eyes.

In this tranquil setting, hidden in the depths of nature, it seemed like shady deals could easily go unnoticed, Shivam thought.

After trailing the couples, Shivam arrived at a hillside, where the path ahead led into the untamed wilderness.

Despite the dangers of the wilderness and the risks involved, Shivam remained resolute in his determination to locate the two criminals.

With the targets now ahead of him and the forest path stretching out before him, Shivam pressed on, his concern for the safety of the girls driving him forward.

Shivam followed a concealed path that led to the edge of the forest, where the dense trees gave way to open space.

With the help of Rani's unique abilities, he could see a villa not far from his location. Rani's control over the flies extended up to 500 meters, allowing Shivam to gather valuable information without straying too far from the safety of the forest's edge.

With Rani's assistance, Shivam could observe through the eyes of the houseflies accompanying the couples, witnessing their every move and conversation.

He found this method incredibly convenient for conducting covert operations, making it seem almost effortless to track down the criminals.

The villa was encircled by imposing walls topped with sturdy steel fences, effectively warding off any potential intruders.

Two guards stationed at the gate maintained a vigilant watch, while others patrolled the perimeter, adding to the fortress-like security measures.

This level of protection seemed excessive for a residential property, hinting at deeper layers of secrecy or potentially illicit activities concealed within the confines of the villa.

Shivam observed a grand villa where the group of four, amused by Alam's jokes, paused their laughter as they beheld the majestic exterior of the estate.

The imposing walls and visible security measures left them in awe, particularly the girls, while the boys boasted proudly of their residence.

Alam and Naik, accompanied by their partners, strode confidently into the villa, bypassing any security checks with the authority befitting the heirs to the estate.

They were warmly greeted upon entry, a reception that elicited awestruck admiration from their partners.

It was evident that, as the offspring of the villa's owners, they commanded a certain level of respect and privilege within the premises.

But because of the beautiful greenery around and the forest by the side, it looked good.

Shivam's keen eye didn't miss a beat as he observed the formidable security measures in place inside the villa.

While tight security wasn't uncommon in affluent residences, the sheer number of guards patrolling the premises raised suspicion.

It was as if they were guarding something far more valuable than mere material wealth—perhaps even something illicit.

This heightened sense of security didn't escape Shivam's notice, especially as he monitored the situation discreetly through the miniature camera, which had slipped inside the villa undetected along with the group of four.

With only one fly under his control inside the villa, Shivam faced a significant challenge in uncovering any potential illegal activities.

Realizing the limitations of having just a single observer, he turned to Rani for guidance.

Inquiring about the duration for which she could maintain control over a single fly, Rani responded that it could last for half a day.

This information prompted Shivam to strategize carefully.

He understood that increasing the number of houseflies would deplete Rani's energy at a faster rate, leading to a shorter duration of control for each fly.

Balancing the quantity of flies with Rani's energy reserves became crucial for their mission.

After Rani's creation, Shivam quickly realized her need for sustenance.

However, lacking any conventional food options, he resorted to providing her with his own vitality energy, as dictated by the Red Band.

Though this energy transfer amounted to only a small portion of his vitality, it was sufficient to satiate Rani's hunger for the time being.

Recognizing the limitations of Rani's ability to consume vitality, Shivam devised a plan to ensure her sustenance without risking overexertion.

He resolved to feed her vital energy sparingly, offering it to her just five times in a single day.

While this method could provide continuous nourishment, it allowed Shivam to control the quantity of houseflies under Rani's command, ensuring that they could gather vital information from the villa without exhausting Rani's energy reserves.

With a strategic approach, Shivam sought to optimize the use of the spy flies under Rani's control.

By limiting their numbers to minimize the strain on her abilities, he aimed to maintain her stability and prevent overexertion.

Instructing Rani to command an additional five flies to infiltrate the villa, Shivam tasked them with conducting a thorough search for any signs of suspicious activity.

This calculated deployment allowed them to cover more ground and increase the likelihood of uncovering valuable information without overwhelming Rani's capabilities.

As Shivam only needed to get some information that could be of use against them, he only needed those few additional flies for a few minutes to spot any unusual or criminal activities inside the villa.

As such, few houseflies have entered the control of Shivam.

Understanding that he required only brief surveillance to gather actionable intelligence, Shivam directed only a select few houseflies to come under his control.

These additional spies would enable him to swiftly identify any aberrant or criminal behavior occurring within the confines of the villa, providing him with the necessary insights to further his investigation.

As Alam Naik's two brothers, accompanied by their girlfriends, stepped into the villa's entrance hall, they were greeted by a bustling scene.

Numerous individuals filled the hall; their attention was focused on a lone man seated at the center, addressing the gathered crowd.

As the group entered the villa's hall, their attention was immediately drawn to the figure seated at the head of the room.

Clad in a crisp white kurta made of fine linen, Bukhari exuded an air of authority and dignity.

His beard, neatly trimmed yet distinguished, added to his commanding presence.

The girl's eyes took in the middle-aged man's appearance with a mixture of curiosity and respect.

The lines etched into Bukhari's face told a story of a life rich with experiences and wisdom.

Each wrinkle seemed to speak of challenges overcome and lessons learned, lending a depth of character to his visage.

Despite the gravity of the meeting, the middle-aged man's expression remained serene and composed.

There was a sense of quiet strength about him, a reassurance that he was in control of the situation. Yet, beneath the surface, there lingered a warmth that belied his stern exterior.

When his gaze met theirs, there was a gentle twinkle in his eyes, a silent invitation to engage in conversation.

To the group, middle aged men appeared as nothing ordinary.

He carried himself with the demeanor of a superior, commanding respect and admiration from those around him.

In his presence, they couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence, as if they were in the presence of someone truly exceptional.

The girls were awestruck by a middle-aged man's commanding presence as they entered the villa.

His dignified demeanor and authoritative aura seemed to exude an air of strength and power, leaving an indelible impression on those in his midst.

As they looked around the room, they couldn't help but notice the numerous individuals—both young and old—gathered around Bukhari, hanging on to his every word with unwavering attention.

As Shivam observed Bukhari from afar, his thoughts were not clouded by respect or admiration, but rather by a singular focus on uncovering the truth behind the facade of authority.

To him, Bukhari was not a revered figure, but merely a means to an end—a conduit through which he could delve deeper into the realm of criminal activities hidden within the villa.

Despite the aura of respectability that Bukhari projected, Shivam remained wary, knowing all too well that appearances could be deceiving.

Under the guise of a respected elder lay a shroud of secrecy and suspicion, fueling Shivam's determination to unravel the mysteries that lay concealed within the walls of the villa.

As the girls entered alongside the boys, their eyes were drawn to the gathering where a commanding figure held authority from his seat at the head of the room.

The meeting that had been underway abruptly ceased as Alam, known for his hospitality, took the initiative to introduce his companions to his father, Bukhari, who was the esteemed owner of the lavish villa.

Alam, with his characteristic charm, graciously presented the girls, Shikha and Bhavana, to his father.

This gesture not only showcased Alam's respect for his father but also served to integrate the girls into the familial setting of the villa.

It was a moment of warmth and inclusion, as the girls were welcomed into the fold by both Alam and his father, fostering a sense of connection and belonging within the household.

Alam beamed with pride as Bukhari warmly welcomed them into his home.

With a comforting smile, Bukhari put the girls at ease, urging them to relax and join in for dinner before bidding them a kind farewell at the appropriate hour.

Meanwhile, the meeting attendees, who were not family members, continued their discussions in another room, while Bukhari assured his sons to treat the girls with respect and kindness.

Observing the warm reception extended to the girls by Bukhari and the accommodating demeanor of Alam and Naik, Shivam couldn't help but ponder the intentions behind such hospitality.

It seemed as though Bukhari, along with Alam and Naik, were going out of their way to ensure the girls felt comfortable and welcomed in the villa.

Moreover, their gestures seemed to encourage the girls to explore and enjoy the amenities of the villa to the fullest extent.

As Alam and Naik were gestured by their father to showcase the villa and encouraged to enjoy themselves, Shivam's suspicions only deepened.

It appeared that there might be more to the situation than meets the eye, and he resolved to remain vigilant and observant amidst the seemingly hospitable facade.

(Unbeknownst to Shivam, he had accidentally deactivated the terror human detector, relying solely on Rani's ability to monitor the targets. Consequently, the device's functionality had been switched off, and it was now stored in the holographic storage space, its presence temporarily removed from Shivam's immediate awareness.

This oversight left Shivam solely dependent on Rani's capabilities to gather crucial intelligence and monitor the activities unfolding within the villa.

Shivam forgot that there was a device to check on the target criminal record.)

After a delightful conversation with Bukhari, Alam and Naik took the initiative to guide the girls on a tour of the villa, revealing its breathtaking interior beauty and opulence.

While the young explored the lavish spaces of the villa, marveling at its intricate designs and luxurious amenities, Bukhari resumed the meeting that had briefly paused due to the unexpected arrival of the girls.

Undeterred by the interruption, Bukhari seamlessly transitioned back into the discussion, addressing the matter at hand, which was about the package.

The ambiance exuded warmth, hospitality, and familial charm, enveloping the girls in a sense of belonging and appreciation within the vibrant household of Alam Naik.

As they wandered through the splendid villa, every corner seemed to radiate beauty and tranquility, leaving the girls enchanted by its allure.

Despite his initial suspicions, Shivam couldn't help but acknowledge the undeniable charm of the villa, which seemed almost too perfect to be true.

Meanwhile, Shivam discreetly deployed five spies, ensuring their presence extended to every nook and cranny of the villa.

With his watchful eyes and keen observation, he aimed to uncover any hidden truths lurking beneath the surface of this idyllic setting.

With an acute sense of vigilance, Shivam closely monitored the activities of not only Alam and Naik but also their father, Bukhari.

As the younger members departed to explore the villa's splendors, Bukhari, the patriarch, retreated to the meeting room, sealing the door behind him.

Seated amongst his associates, his demeanor shifted, assuming an air of authority and purpose. Shivam's attention was fixated on Bukhari, sensing an unsettling aura around him.

Despite Bukhari's composed demeanor, Shivam remained wary, suspecting there was more to him than met the eye. He observed every move and word.

"The big package is about to get ready," Bukhari declared, his voice carrying a tone of urgency.

"We have to attach the last package as fast as possible, as time is running out."

His words hung in the air, laden with a sense of gravity that hinted at the clandestine dealings transpiring within the confines of the villa.

"Bukhari confirmed that the supplies were arranged, with only the final package remaining to be prepared.

The conversation revolved around this 'big package,' echoing the mysterious text received by Alam and Naik.

Shivam's curiosity piqued as he sought to unravel the contents and significance of this mysterious package."

"Shivam's realization hit him like a bolt of lightning.

He had forgotten to activate the terror human detector, a vital tool in his arsenal.

He had disabled it earlier due to the constant alerts, which had become a nuisance.

However, his newfound curiosity about the people inside the villa prompted him to switch it back on.

As the graph powered up, it began analyzing the terror levels of the individuals within its range.

Shivam braced himself, knowing that the readings wouldn't be reassuring.

He was certain that the individuals inside the villa were not to be underestimated; they were likely deeply involved in criminal activities."

The graph began to clear, and new red spots, along with a few blue spots, started to emerge on the display before his eyes.

As Shivam had anticipated, all the individuals inside the villa were marked by red spots; even the security personnel were indicated by red spots, each tagged with 1 or 2 stars denoting their criminal level.

In contrast, only the two girls and the maid were represented by blue dots on the graph, as he had zoomed in on the hall area to check the precise details of the targets.

"The villa's inner members had notorious criminal records, with Bhukhari, the middle-aged man, topping the list at level 5.

Shivam's discovery didn't surprise him, but it did raise his suspicions.

'This man must be hiding something extraordinary in this villa,' he thought.

'The term "big package" could very well be a codeword. Given his criminal level, it might not just be illicit goods or information—it could even be explosives.'"

This revision hints at a more perilous situation, potentially involving a threat to the nation itself.

Shivam deployed five flies, three of which were being monitored by Rani, to search for suspicious activity in the villa.

However, they faced obstacles due to locked areas that were inaccessible to the flies.

Consequently, they couldn't uncover any incriminating evidence.

Additionally, Shivam placed flies to monitor Bukhari and the girls closely.

Despite gathering information, their inability to access certain areas limited his investigation.

Alam and Naik's conversation flowed casually, devoid of any discernible hints of suspicion.

Shivam remained attentive to their discussions, though his primary focus remained on monitoring Bukhari, recognizing him as the pivotal figure in the villa's operations.

Meanwhile, the couples engaged in trivial banter, their dialogue lacking significance to Shivam's investigation.

Yet he continued to observe their interactions closely, ensuring no detail escaped his scrutiny.

Shivam maintained his composure, closely observing the events unfolding in the villa, still on the lookout for the elusive "big package."

In Bukhari's meeting room, a member sent a crucial message: "Proceed with the plan."

This directive swiftly reached Alam and Naik, prompting them to usher the girls into the inner garden, where they were met with affectionate greetings from the brothers' mother and aunt.

Seeing the message received by the brothers, Shivam grew even more certain that everything happening in the villa was part of a deceptive scheming plot.

To him, it felt like a meticulously laid-out trap, with innocent girls unwittingly drawn into its clutches.

After exchanging pleasantries, the guys escorted the girls to their private rooms, unaware of the dangers that might lie ahead.

This was the plan orchestrated by the two brothers and mastermind Bukhari.

After the conclusion of the meeting, Bukhari emphasized the importance of caution regarding the "package carriers" scheduled to arrive today.

This term piqued Shivam's interest, recognizing it as a potential lead in his investigation.

The mention of "package carriers" hinted at forthcoming activities related to the significant package discussed in the meeting.

Shivam understood that closely monitoring the activities surrounding the arrival of these "package carriers" could provide crucial insights into the illicit operations taking place within the villa.

After the meeting ended, Bukhari smiled and instructed his team to have Alam and Naik inspect the quality but not spoil it.

Bukhari's grin sent a chill down Shivam's spine, making him worry about the safety of the girls in the villa.

As Bukhari talked about the girls quality, his smile didn't sit right with Shivam.

"This isn't good," Shivam muttered to himself.

He wanted to help, but he knew he was too weak, and his current strength was minuscule compared to theirs.

Getting caught would mean certain danger or death, something Shivam wasn't prepared to risk for people he didn't even know.

He was certain he wasn't a hero to act on impulse.

Bukhari moved to a luxurious room and settled onto the sofa, with the other members standing behind him.

They gathered around a large screen, and one of the members operated it to switch it on.

As the screen flickered to life, various camera views appeared, displaying different areas of the villa.

After selecting the designated view, they could see the two couples enjoying their leisure time.

Shivam understood that these girls were brought here for Bukhari's scrutiny through these CCTV cameras, likely for something unsavory or perverted.

Shivam felt a surge of disgust towards these men, particularly for exploiting the girls in such a despicable manner.

The girls seemed unaware of the situation, their innocence lay bare as they were displayed fully nude on the CCTV screen in Bukhari's room.

Shivam couldn't bring himself to watch the disturbing scene unfolding on Bukhari's CCTV screens.

He refused to indulge in the voyeuristic tendencies of a man like Bukhari.

His respect for women and their dignity was unwavering, and he wouldn't stoop to the level of a demon by participating in such degrading behavior.

Shivam quickly averted his gaze from the distressing scene, refusing to engage with the disgraceful actions unfolding before him.

Instead, he focused his attention on scouring the villa for any clues or evidence that could shed light on the mysterious package Bukhari had mentioned.
