After disconnecting his father's call, Luis quickly dialled Nyx's number, his heart still pounding from the conversation with his father. He needed a distraction, and Nyx's update was just what he needed. As the phone rang, he hoped Nyx had some good news to share.
"Hello?" Nyx's voice came through the other end, sounding calm and composed.
"Nyx, it's me, Luis," he said, trying to catch his breath. "What's going on? Are you in Mumbai?"
"Yes, I'm at the airport," Nyx replied. "I think the man we've been tracking is finally arriving today."
Luis's excitement grew. "Are you sure it's him?"
"Positive," Nyx confirmed. "From yesterday all his girls are decorating the palace and the atmosphere is lively and today afternoon, more than fifty cars came to the airport from his palace. So, it must be him."
A surge of anticipation washed over Luis. "Keep a close eye on him," he instructed Nyx. "We can't afford to lose track of him now."
"I won't let him out of my sight," Nyx assured him. "I'll gather as much information as possible. Wait for the pictures. I will send you in a few minutes." Nyx said confidently. At present, she is inside the airport lounge.
"That's really sweet of you. By the way, I will be in Mumbai by tomorrow morning. Did you find his true background?" Luis asked in an excited tone.
"No... his background is clean like a slate. He is just a poor orphan. I even dug into his childhood." Nyx replied while staring at the large number of cars and people who stood on the runway.
She is looking varyingly at the fifty people in mercenary clothes. With one look she knows that they are not normal thugs or security. Especially the person with an eye patch. He is leading this group of fifty members. Nyx felt a sense of danger from that man.@@@@
"Hahaha... maybe he is just a poor bastard, who got lucky. I will kill him with my own hands." Luis said with a burst of loud laughter.
Natalia's grip on Serena's hand tightened as they approached him. "What's going on? Is he hurt?" she whispered worriedly.
As they got closer, they could see that Das was not hurt but seemed to be sleeping or unconscious. Red Rose stood beside him, her expression a mix of concern and tenderness. She gently patted his cheek, trying to rouse him.
"Das, wake up," she said softly, her voice filled with a mix of worry and affection.
Slowly, Das stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He looked disoriented for a moment before realizing where he was. He quickly sat up, rubbing his eyes as he tried to focus.
"Serena, Natalia?" he said, his voice slightly groggy. "What's going on? Why are you calling my name?"
Serena let out a sigh of relief. "You had us worried there for a moment," she said, giving him a gentle smile. "We've been waiting for you to come out."
Natalia's concern melted into relief as well. "Yeah, we were calling you for a while," she said, her voice softening.
Das looked a little sheepish. "Sorry, I must have dozed off for a moment," he admitted. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire
Red Rose couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," she said, giving him a reassuring pat on the back.
Das glanced at her with gratitude in his eyes. "Thanks, Red Rose," he said sincerely.
As they all stepped out of the air jet, Serena and Natalia exchanged knowing glances. They could see that there was something between Das and Red Rose, something that went beyond just being comrades.
