"See, Mr. Roy, if I said you are like Talleyrand, that means I know you might have a lot of plans. This is why I was extra prepared," Shekwat declared confidently and signaled his men.

From upstairs, Shekwat's men opened fire, catching Aryan and his team off guard. Chaos erupted as bullets flew and the room turned into a battlefield. Aryan and his group scrambled for cover, returning fire as they fought back against Shekwat's men.

They were all tied up once again, their situation growing increasingly dire.

"Aryan, I knew it; you must have made some silly plan before coming here," Shekwat taunted.

Shekwat responded defiantly, "You know what, you are just like your father-stubborn. I told your dad a thousand times to cooperate with me, but no, he wanted to be that faithful dog to the government, revealing my slush funds. Then I had no choice but to kill him. After he died, I thought I could finally relax, but you, piece of shit..."

"Shekwat, I will kill you with my bare hands before the police lay a hand on you," Aryan vowed, his anger burning fiercely.

Shekwat chuckled, his tone mocking. "You're a humorous guy. Tell me, how will you kill me, huh? Will you seek revenge after you're killed by me, like a ghost?"

Shekwat's voice was cold and determined as he replied, "I won't even let your body leave this place you're talking about. And if you all die, tell me, how will anyone ever arrest me?"

In a sudden turn of events,

Aryan's sinister smile revealed his hidden triumph."Shekawat, this is my time to laugh, because you just confessed to all your crimes in front of the whole nation, not even any minister can save you now. Your game is over," Aryan declared, relishing his moment of victory.

Shekwat, bewildered, asked, "What are you talking about? Are you going insane before you die?"

"Check the news," Aryan instructed. Arya looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering what he meant.

Anwar opened the news on his device, and the shocking truth was revealed. The live video broadcast on a news channel showed Shekwat's confession, including his admission of killing Aryan's father and his involvement in various crimes.

"I won't even let your body leave this place you're talking about. And if you all die, tell me, how will anyone ever arrest me?" the voice came from device.

"What is this? What the hell are you doing?" Shekwat exclaimed, his face paling as he realized the gravity of the situation.

Aryan maintained his sinister smile, savoring the moment of victory as Shekwat's world crumbled around him. The revelation of his crimes on national television marked the end of Shekwat's reign of terror.

Shekwat was growing increasingly nervous, while Anwar was gripped by fear. Aryan and Utkarsh seized the opportunity to untie each other discreetly. Shekwat frantically dialed his informant's number, "Yes it's true now don't ever try to contact me." confirming the truth of the live confession.

"You're dead if I go down," Shekwat threatened, his voice trembling with anger and desperation.

Aryan calmly responded, "Shekwat, don't you understand? You had no control over this game. You were just playing the moves I planned for you."

A chilling revelation followed as Aryan continued, "And you know what? You can't even run outside. Police officers are watching the live telecast of this show."

Anwar confirmed, "Yes, boss. There are police outside. we are packed from everywhere."

A voice echoed from Aditi's laptop, revealing the police's presence and their monitoring of the intense conversation between Aryan and Shekwat.

"How did you do it?" Shekwat asked, bewildered.

Aryan explained, "How did I do it? You see those earrings Arya is wearing? Aren't they beautiful? They have a camera and microphone fitted in them. Everything you've said, every confession you made, got recorded and broadcast live from the laptop. Did you think I would ignore my wife's security when I'm dealing with a bastard like you?"Arya looked at Aryan in astonishment, recalling a moment from the past.

"This is for you," he said, extending a small yet luxurious box that appeared to contain jewelry.

"But why?" she hesitated.

"I don't need a reason to give gifts to my little wife," he replied.

"Wait a minute, let me assist you in wearing them."

(arya snaps out of her thoughts )

As Aryan continued, "I knew it from the moment I saw those illegal companies registered under your name. How can someone not know they have huge illegal companies in their name? There can only be one reason: the culprit is trying to appear as the victim. Who would be foolish enough to keep illegal files in their name? There's only one reason they're trying very hard to appear as a victim. And then this Afsar paid my reporter a huge ransom to turn against me."Anwar looked at Afsar in anger.

He pointed to a photo, saying, "And you visiting my office so excited with bad news. Then there's you, spotted last time meeting with Assistant Commissioner Deva Mathera, who mysteriously went missing on the very same day."

Aryan got up, gripping his gun, and began moving toward Shekwat just as police sirens blared outside. Panic gripped the room as officers stormed in. In response, Shekwat seized Anwar's gun and pointed it at Aryan, declaring, "Today, we both will die here."
