The luxurious office of the sheikh was usually a place where the powerful and influential gathered to discuss their nefarious plans. But on this particular day, it was a gathering that would never be forgotten.

Sidharth, set there in the room with an air of confidence that bordered on arrogance. His piercing gaze scanned the room, taking in the familiar faces of the corrupt politicians.

The group of men, led by the infamous chief minister. Sohail sheikh, looked up at Sidharth with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. They knew that they had underestimated him before, but they had no idea what lay beneath his calm exterior

"What can we do for you, Prince?" Sohail asked, trying to keep his voice steady. He knows protocol and how he has to speak in presence of royalty. He didn't know Jafri crown Prince until today. Until an hour ago now they all are terrified

"I'm here to tell you that I've had enough," Sidharth said, his voice low and even. "I've had enough of your corruption, your deceit, and your manipulation. You're all a blight on this country's reputation. I gave you many chances but you were leech."

The room fell silent as the politicians exchanged nervous glances. They knew they were in trouble. Actually they were in trouble the moment crown prince of another country decided to change system of their government

"I've seen how you use your positions to line your pockets with gold and diamonds. I've seen how you embezzle funds meant for the people and use them for your own personal gain."

Sohail stepped forward, trying to stand up to Sidharth. "And what do you plan to do about it?"

"I plan to take you down," Sidharth said, his eyes blazing with fury. "I plan to expose each and every one of you for the corrupt criminals you are. I'll make sure that your names are dragged through the mud and that you'll rot in prison for the rest of your lives."

The room erupted into chaos as the politicians scrambled to defend themselves. But Sidharth was not having it. He unleashed a verbal tirade upon them, his words laced with venom and contempt.

"You're a bunch of parasites, leeching off the system and pretending to be something you're not." As he spoke, Sidharth's eyes seemed to bore into their souls, making them squirm with discomfort. They knew they were out of their depth against this powerful prince

"You should be ashamed that outsider is trying to make your system right." Sidharth looked at them as if they are lowly creatures. No word escape Sohail's mouth

Double door of luxury office was pushed opened as Zain walked inside with files in his hands, "I hope I'm not late?"

Sohail and others were very much confused. Mr gabool who was sitting silently this whole time just listening to young prince was now quite taken aback by his nephew's entry and he knew instantly. He put two's together right away and amusement was seen in his eyes such a Kabil boy he thought. He managed to lay low all this time while screwing his own father behind

"Zain?"

"This file holds proof of corruption which you all have done. NAB will get same copy within an hour. Search warrant will be given in next few hours. 5 in morning, they will pay visit and you will be sentenced to jail for 10 years. No bail."
