Chapter 6 : The Magical Sword Heist

When Aarav, Ishan, and the girl were at the table counter, a blast occurred at the gate. Some gang members immediately pointed their guns at everyone inside, and through the smoke, a man emerged. He said, "Now tell me, where is the magical sword?"

The leader asks again, where is the sword? The worker says, "You're not going to get any sword here. You made a mistake by coming inside." The boss replies, "Mistake?" He laughs, and at that moment, the worker moves his hand slightly. There was a button under his table—an emergency button. Just then, Tony shoots at him. The bullet hits the worker's hand, causing it to bleed.

The boss walks toward him and says, "Don't you think you're making a mistake by not telling me? Do I look like a fool who'd come here without thinking things through?" Standing in front of him, the boss adds, "Let's play a game."

They move to the exhibition room. Tony sends three of his men inside to search and check if anyone else is hiding. One of their team members was a hacker. Tony had ordered him to lock all the gates. That person hacked the security system and locked all the exit gates.

The gates were sealed with metal doors, and even the windows were locked.

The boss sits on a chair placed on one side. Aarav, Ishan, and the girl were tied up with ropes and thrown to the side. The boss explains the game: "If you quietly tell me where the sword is, I'll let the kids go, but you'll have to die. And if you don't tell me, I'll shoot one of them every five minutes." This meant Ishan would be shot first because he was sitting on the far left. Crying, Ishan screams, "What did I ever do to you?" The boss continues, "So let's start the game."

The worker was very angry, but he couldn't do anything because the kids' lives were at risk. Tony starts beating the worker.

Meanwhile, the three men who went to search split up to cover more ground, and one by one, they start disappearing.

Almost five minutes had passed, and the worker was in terrible condition. Tony had beaten him badly, and he had lost a lot of blood. In the end, Tony presses down on the spot where the worker was shot, with his foot, causing even more pain. Watching the worker being beaten so severely didn't sit well with the three kids, and they begged for them to stop and leave him alone.

The boss's watch shows five minutes have passed, and he says, "Looks like you don't care about these kids' lives." The worker's condition had worsened, and he could no longer move his left hand. The boss orders Tony to shoot the kids. Just then, the remaining three gang members return. Tony asks them, "Did you find anyone inside?" One of them says no, they didn't find anyone else.

Tony lifts his gun and is about to press the trigger when suddenly, he feels someone's presence behind him. There was a shadow behind him, its eyes glowing, and it was holding something. Tony turns around and terror fills his eyes. There's an impact blast, and smoke rises from the ground.

The boss says, "I knew it." Tony stood unharmed a little distance from the boss's side, gasping for air. The man who attacked Tony had used a hammer axe, which created a hole in the floor. It seemed like the boss had saved Tony. The boss continues, "I knew it. These people only had regular guards outside, but in reality, they're special force agents disguised as workers providing security here. Just because there are only three of them doesn't mean I should underestimate them. Now I understand why no one has ever been able to steal from this place."

Three people stood before the boss, each armed. 1. The big one (male) with a weapon—a hammer axe, 2. Another male with guns, 3. A female with small but sharp blades.

The big one picks up his injured worker friend and sits him down to the side. Apologizing for arriving late, the worker tells him, "Don't worry about me, go save the kids."
