Kabir – "What are you trying to say, Shiv?"

Shivansh – "Dadaji owned land worth 150 crores. He wanted to give it to farmers for cultivation. But someone was determined to buy that land. He tried everything to convince Dadaji, but Dadaji never bowed before him."

Shivansh glanced at Arjun and continued – "He crossed all limits—used every trick in the book: persuasion, bribery, threats, deception... everything. He even went as far as attacking Dadaji. That's when Dadaji realized how dangerous that man was."

Arjun's breath hitched as the truth unfolded. A wave of unease spread through him. His mind raced, trying to piece everything together.

Kabir's brows furrowed. "Who was he, Shiv? Who wanted that land so desperately?"

Shivansh exhaled sharply. "That's what we don't know yet. But whoever he was, he was powerful, ruthless. Dadaji had sensed the danger, but he still refused to back down."

Arjun, filled with doubt, asked, "There's more to it, isn't there, Shiv?"

Kabir looked confused, but Shivansh nodded.

Shivansh – "When Dadaji was attacked, he realized that the monster would go to any extent to get this land. So, he decided to hand it over to Veer Uncle along with the rest of the property."

Arjun pieced together all the information and murmured, "That's why he urgently called Dad and Mom to India."

Shivansh nodded. "You're right."

Arjun's voice trembled with emotion as he looked at Shivansh. "Don't tell me, Shiv... that monster was behind Mom and Dad's death."

Shivansh – "I am 100% sure, Arjun. Uncle and Aunt's demise was not natural—it was murder."

Arjun felt the ground beneath him slip away. His mind reeled, his breath grew unsteady, and a cold shiver ran down his spine.

Kabir and Shivansh looked at each other, knowing their friend was shattered by the truth.

Kabir placed a hand on Arjun's shoulder. "Arjun, pull yourself together. We still don't know who that monster is. And as far as I think, Nana Ji must be involved too. Otherwise, how would he know about Anu?"

Shivansh nodded. "Kabir is right, Arjun. There's still a lot we don't know. We have a long way to go in this investigation."

Arjun took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. His mind was clouded with grief and anger, but he knew breaking down wasn't an option. He clenched his fists and looked at Shivansh. "Then we need to find out everything—right from the beginning."

Kabir nodded. "Yes. But we have nothing in hand right now—no proof, no clues. We don't even know who we are up against."

Shivansh exhaled. "That's what makes this even more dangerous. We are fighting an enemy we can't see."

Arjun ran a hand through his hair, frustration evident in his eyes. "There must be something, Shiv. Someone who knew what Dadaji was going through. Someone who saw or heard something."

A heavy silence settled between them. The pieces were falling into place, but the full picture was still unclear.

"We need to find out who was close to Dadaji before everything happened," Kabir said. "Someone he trusted. Someone who might still be alive."
