As dawn broke, Anika returned with news. "Rajan’s network is closing in on us," she warned. "We need to act before they strike. But I think I know a way to take them down."

She laid out a plan ,a risky, high-stakes operation that would require them to confront Rajan directly. The goal was to expose his crimes and bring down his entire operation. But it would mean putting themselves in harm’s way, and the old man knew it was a gamble they might not survive.

Amar listened carefully, then nodded. "It’s dangerous, but it could work. We’ll need to be smart about this. If we fail, we might not get another chance."

The old man remained silent, his mind heavy with the weight of the situation. He had spent his life trying to protect his family, yet now they were in more danger than ever. He glanced at Aarav, who was focused on the plan with fierce determination. Seeing his son so resolute filled him with both pride and guilt. This wasn’t the life he had wanted for Aarav.

As they finalized the details, Anika looked at the old man. "Are you ready for this?"

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I have to be," he replied. "For my family."
