CHAPTER 6 — Night of the Hidden Conspiracy
The moon hung low, silver light dancing on the river. Siraj rode at the front, Arif and a squad of loyal guards behind him.
The system displayed a glowing marker:
[Target Location: Old Riverside Warehouse]
Inside that warehouse, traitors planned the first move against Bengal.
When they arrived, Siraj raised his hand.
The guards stopped.
Whispers leaked from the wooden building.
Arif leaned close.
"They're finalizing a deal with foreign agents. If this meeting succeeds… the British will gain control of Bengal's trade routes."
Siraj's eyes hardened.
"Then this ends tonight."
He signaled his men to move silently.

CHAPTER 7 — The Web of Treachery
Inside the warehouse, torches flickered.
Around a wooden table, four men sat—two from the East India Company, two Bengali nobles with greed in their eyes.
Siraj activated his system ability:
[Skill: Loyalty Scan]
Bars flashed above them:
[Loyalty: 20%]
[Loyalty: 10% — Conspirator]
[Loyalty: 5% — Conspirator]
[Foreign Agent — Threat Level: High]
Arif whispered, "These names will be valuable later. Exposing them publicly will turn the people to your side."
Siraj nodded.
This time he wouldn't punish blindly—he would gather proof, unite Bengal, and strike when necessary.
Just as the conspirators signed a parchment, Siraj stepped inside.
The room froze.
"You're making decisions about Bengal," Siraj said calmly, "without the Nawab's permission?"
One conspirator trembled.
The British officer smirked.
"You can't stop history, Nawab. You were always meant to fall."
Siraj's voice thundered:
"History has changed."

CHAPTER 8 — The Tiger's Roar
Siraj's guards surrounded the warehouse.
Arif held up the parchment the conspirators were signing.
"This contains proof of their betrayal," he whispered.
Siraj looked at the men.
"Tell the truth now, or I will expose everything to the entire kingdom."
The traitors panicked.
The British agents tried to escape—but Siraj's soldiers blocked them.
The system flashed:
[Quest Complete: Crush the First Conspiracy]
[Reward Unlocked: Tactical Insight +1]
[Public Trust +10%]
Siraj turned to his soldiers.
"Take the traitors alive. Let the people of Bengal see the truth."
For the first time, the future shifted.

CHAPTER 9 — A Kingdom Awakens
Word spread across the capital:
The Nawab had uncovered a conspiracy.
People who once doubted Siraj began speaking his name with respect.
The system displayed:
[People's Trust: 32% → 48%]
Arif told him,
"You're building something new. If you can unite the villages and traders, the British won't find any weakness."
Siraj nodded.
He called a grand public assembly at the palace courtyard.
Thousands gathered.
Siraj stepped forward and spoke:
"Bengal will not be sold to foreign powers.
As long as I stand, no outsider will rule this land."
The crowd roared in support.
For the first time in two lifetimes, Siraj felt hope.

CHAPTER 10 — The Storm on the Horizon
That night, the system sounded an alert.
[WARNING: Major Threat Detected]
A new map appeared in front of Siraj—glowing red areas spreading from the west.
Arif's expression turned serious.
"This… this is the East India Company's main force. They're preparing something bigger than Plassey."
Siraj looked at the map and clenched his fists.
"This time, I will not wait for them to strike."
The system revealed a new quest:
> [Main Quest Unlocked: The Battle to Rewrite History]
Prepare Bengal's army, economy, and alliances before the enemy arrives.
Siraj stood tall.
"Let the storm come.
I am ready."
And thus, the second volume ends with Bengal stepping into a new era—
one where the Tiger of Bengal is awake, reborn, and unafraid.
