Nayak stood heroic before the two masked figures, with red hot eyes
"What, are you scared?" Nayak challenged.
While laughing tiger said ,Me, scared?
I don't know how to be afraid. That word isn't even in my dictionary boy. You should worry about yourselves.
We are two, and you are all alone. You won't be able to defeat both of us even if you wanted to.
And besides, you are already injured from Apaar and Bemaan's attacks. If you fight us, you will be goner" I will ki....
That doesn't bother me. Nayak interrupted tiger mid sentence and declared
"Victory or death is the only outcome for me." "
But for you beating is the only option."
"He let a brief, deliberate silence fall before saying,..."
"I WILL BE VICTOR".
Pawan's astonishment far exceeded Tiger's rage upon hearing the hero's absolute words.
"What an absolute fool I was to believe I could ever bring him down. He stands there, riddled with injuries, yet he holds his ground as if he were completely unscathed." He thought
Pawan clenched both his fists in anger. He wanted to help nayak, but his ego intervened, and he stopped.
Tiger ground his teeth in fury and hissed, "Fine! Bye me Then you should die. I will show you no mercy."
Tiger and Bemaan launched Continuous attacks on nayak.
Tiger attempted to land a punch with his 'Tiger Claw' on nayak's face, while Bemaan leapt into the air.
As Bemaan lunged for his head and Tiger advanced toward his face, the hero seized the opportunity, taking two three quick steps back. The two attackers crashed directly into each other.
At that moment, nayak announced, "Special Move: Lightning Flash Step!"
As he speaks, nayak dashes through them with lightning speed, landing powerful punches square on both their faces.
They both go flying and crash to the ground some distance away.
The strike was executed with such speed that not a single one saw the hero move.
He was simply too fast; I couldn't even track him." Pawan thought.
A terrified Goon stammered,
"That man is a monster! Where in the world did he acquire this lightning-fast power?"
Tiger and Bemaan on their knees, struggling to regain their feet. Their faces were a grotesque mask, completely slicked with blood. Bemaan's twin swords lay abandoned on the ground, having slipped from his grasp.
Tiger let out a raw, desperate shout: "You are not stronger than me!"
You are weak! weak! weak! weak!
He then spat the command at Bemaan:
"Get up, you fool! I'm not done yet!"
We are not done yet.
Bemaan tried to get back on his feet, but before he could even rise, Nayak appeared in a lightning-quick speed With lethal precision, he delivered a ferocious kick straight to the right side of Bemaan's face. The impact was so severe that it generated a powerful shockwave, and Bemaan was instantly knocked down.
The shockwave was colossal, that it was even felt by everyone in the warehouse.
Nayak and Tiger now stood face-to-face. A fierce resolve burned in Nayak's eyes, while fear had begun to creep into Tiger. Despite the numerous attacks he had sustained, Nayak looked weakened, but he remained standing firm on the ground, ready to fight.
Suddenly, a shaken voice from one of the thugs cut through the tension. It was the thug speaking to Pawan: "Boss!boss! Police! Police! The police are coming!"
The announcement stunned every gangster, and they instantly began scrambling to flee. Tiger, relieved, snarled: "You got lucky today!" But his voice was a mix of sheer terror and the joyful urgency of escape, as if he knew fighting Nayak would mean his death. Tiger deployed a smoke grenade and vanished into the resulting cloud. The smoke lingered for a moment.
Tiger abandoned Bemaan and Apaar right there to their fate and fled himself.
Pawan and Nayak were locked in a stare. A nearby thug pulled Pawan's arm: "Boss, we should go! The police are here!" Pawan took a moment to think, then turned and fled.
The remaining thugs were still scrambling. Nayak remained standing, but the fatigue of battle was starkly visible in his eyes. Just then, he began to sway. The blood from his wounds, which had started to clot, now seemed to give way, and he finally collapsed to the ground.
The police arrived at that exact moment. A tall, broad-shouldered officer stepped out of the jeep. His uniform bore the name Anil Mahajan. He immediately proceeded to apprehend some of the panicked gangsters and some of the thugs lay scattered and senseless on the ground.
When the police officer saw nayak lying on the ground, he went over to him and said, "oh my god He has fainted."
"Hurry up ,Call the ambulance!"
The orange light of the sun reflected off the closed window. Nayak is lying on a bed in the hospital's Care Unit.
The highly polished floor mirrored the light fixtures on the roof and walls."
Nayak drifted back to consciousness, his eyes peeling open to a world hazy with exhaustion.
The hero drifted back to consciousness, his eyes peeling open to a world hazy with exhaustion.
His tired gaze searches the surrounding environment.
When he made a feeble attempt to sit upright, the deep cuts on his head and leg a binding spear of shot through injuries on his skull and limb.
The sound traveled easily across the quiet ward, prompting a nurse to promptly appear from the nearby service annex.
"W-who brought me here?" His voice was trembling with panic.
The nurse looked at him with a gentle and reassuring smile. "Don't worry, you will be fine soon. I'll go call the Doctor right now," she said, unlatching the door.
But she did not go straight to the Doctor. She first stopped and quietly informed the police officer standing outside: "He is awake now."
The police officer immediately rushed into the room, but the bed was empty. Nayak was not there. His attention was drawn to the window, which was wide open and the curtains were billowing in the wind.
Approaching the window, the police officer stared out and declared, "It seems he has escaped!"
In a dimly lit room, Pawan, Vijay, and a few thugs were seated.
Suddenly, the room's door was knocked three times.
"Open the door," Pawan commanded in a low, gravelly voice, without moving.
When the door was opened, a man with big moustache and long beard entered, his voice clearly filled with panic.
"The police are looking for us," he said, gasping.
"This is all that stupid boy's fault!" a thug fumed with anger.
"Hey, everyone be quiet! Half of our gang has been caught by the police. I don't want the remaining people to be caught as well," Vijay said, lowering his voice.
"No one followed you, did they?" Pawan asked, his gaze deep and watchful...
No, Captain, no one followed me at all," he replied with certainty.
A measure of relief washed over Pawan's face.
After barely two moments of deep silence, there was a knock on the door once again.
Everyone froze in shock. "Who could it possibly be? No one knows about this location except us," the question echoed in everyone's mind.
Pawan then got up and moved cautiously towards the door.
"Be careful, Boss!" Vijay warned in a hushed voice.
Pawan opened the door. Outside, there was only silence—no one was there. However, a envelope was lying on the ground.
Pawan picked up the envelope, closed the door, and began to read it. The moment he finished reading the letter, he was left stunned.
"What happened, Boss? What does it say?" Vijay asked eagerly.
Pawan said in a low, shocked voice, "This letter has complete information about this hideout... how many people are in the room, and who has what injury—everything is written."
"What?!" Everyone froze in shock.
"The threat continues: 'If you don't want the police to catch you, and if you all wish to see tomorrow's sunrise, then meet me immediately at this address.'"
"Boss, are you really going?
Why are you even asking that! You aren't going anywhere—"vijay said
"No, I am going," Pawan announced.
"But Boss, if you go, your life could be in danger! You shouldn't go!" Vijay insisted.
Pawan replied gravely, "Even if I don't go, the police will arrive here, just as this letter warns. I cannot put my life and, more importantly, all of your lives at risk!"
Hearing this, Vijay was left utterly stunned.
"I am leaving now." pawan continued.
"I am coming too, Boss!" Vijay stressed once again abut Pawan firmly refused.
"Since when did the Boss start caring so much about us?" a goon whispered in genuine surprise.
Night had completely fallen.
The police were actively searching for nayak.
He was staggering, his eyes filled with anguish, clutching his stomach tightly, where a deep, agonizing pain was flaring. He made his way into a dark, desolate alley and then he suddenly collapsed unconscious onto the ground there.
The deep, imposing shadow of a large, grated iron gate fell over the hero.
Right next to that gate, a name was inscribed on a old board: " House of Hopes".
