Chương 2: An inevitable fight

Finally, the car halted at the gate of the cemetery.

Both father and son walked inside, side by side. As they were paying respect to the dead ones, the weapons were not allowed inside. Instead, they took the bouquet of flowers.

As they walked further to a certain tomb area, their own but uninvited people, enemies as well as some strangers were all gathered.

Almost all people were shocked to see Neil and his father alive and unscathed. Fury, disappointment, sympathy as well as greed were visible in their eyes.

Before the father-son could reach the tombstone or speak, they were attacked. No one was on their side.

The opposition team had weapons and enough manpower while Neil's team had only two people and no weapon.

Despite the odds, they still fought bare hands.

Bang…bang...bang…

How could just two people fight against those fully equipped and trained people? Even the tombstones in the area were destroyed.

"How dare you all join hands and bring weapons into this place. You all won't be forgiven for creating a bloodbath in front of Sir's and his family's tomb—" The old man tried to reason out but who would have listened to him?

BANG...

Someone shot him and the bullet pierced his arm. Even Neil has been scraped.

"We need to back off. Fighting them with only our bare hands will only result in our death. Let's leave." Neil conveyed his thought.

The old man nodded his head in response.

Blocking the attacks from the opposite team one by one, both escaped the place. Neil immediately started the car and they fled at the fastest speed.

Some of the people behind followed them. The gunshot continued…

The old man sends an emergency fire signal to alert his people. Seeing the signal being sent, some of the people stopped and stayed back. The firework signal would only be used when it was a life-and-death situation, where a large number of people would be mobilized.

"Dad, you are bleeding a lot. Shall I take you to the hospital or contact Shikhar?" Neil asked with worry.

"If we can escape from this bloody hell then let's see…Neil, I have a doubt that we won't be able to escape… Haven't you noticed that these people have been planning for a long time? Even if we stayed back, they were going to implement their trap. They have infiltrated our people, our base, and the disturbance in the network and trying to take control of the entire Grasal City.

Almost everyone has joined hands to destroy us. Most of our own people have betrayed and even after the stress signal only a handful of people would stay on our side. We have earned more enemies than our true aid. I am only worrying because we couldn't reach the conclusion of our investigation. I don't know how long can I hide HIM and ensure his safety. It's gonna be difficult for HIM…" The old man took a deep breath.

Neil understood who HE was and didn't deny his father's words. Neil was lost in thought when he didn't notice that they had reached an intersection.

Seeing the emergency signal, Neil's people were alerted and the remaining few immediately departed to aid the father-son.

Beside the highway, a sub-road was on the right, and on the left was a gorge* (A deep, narrow valley with steep rocky sides, often with a stream flowing through it.)

"Neil, look out. Why are you out of concentration?" the old man scolded. A truck out of control was approaching them soon.

Neil tried to take control of the car's speed to tackle the situation. Then he noticed…

"Someone had manipulated the function of the car. The brake isn't working. I don't think we have a chance to escape–" Neil spoke hurriedly and tried to calm himself.

"Being a part of the underworld and having authority means you have to be fearless while being exposed to death. Your life, mine, and the lives of the people in our world always have been hanging on a thread since the beginning. Either you kill or you get killed. I only hope HE will find the clues I left behind. Neil, are you afraid to die?" The old man had no emotion in his eyes.

The day was about to end with the presence of dusk and the rain began to drizzle.

"It's not like that, I am only troubled for her and—" he was about to speak more someone from the back shot a bullet in the wheel and it got punctured.

A black BMW filled with Neil's personnel ( the number plate of the vehicle belonged to Neil) could be seen in a far distance,

At the same time, the truck hit the car from its right and the car with a huge impact broke the railing and fell off the gorge.

BOOM… the car blasted.

Few members of the opposition stayed on the side and became onlookers watching the incident with great interest. Most were happy with the outcome of the incident and acted to be innocent.

Neil's people approached the intersection, most were shocked by the incident and some had misty eyes. All their eyes were on the gorge. Among them, one of the men in forty had a walkie-talkie.

"Hello, we need a rescue team. Prepare our best person, the medical team. I repeat prepare the best rescue team. Over."

A few more orders went out. After that, the search went on for the whole night.

The news of Neil and his father being in an accident spread like a wildfire. Reporters, the rescue team, the medical team, Neil and his father's loyal subordinate, and even the people with higher status in Grasal City were present at the accident spot.

The few remaining people on the opposition team were caught. Either dead or alive, Neil and his father should be rescued.

The siren of the ambulance, the chattering of people, and the news reporting the incident made the environment noisy. No one would have dared to speak if it had been another time, but because of the chaos, nobody tried to silence the people.

All the public were informed about the accident of Neil, the CEO of ANB Corps as the news was broadly telecast on all news channel.

With the news there was a major fluctuation in the share market, the underworld was stunned as the boss of Grasal City's underworld ( Neil's father) was in an accident. The majority of people thought it was an assassination attempt but were afraid to speak out about it. These days Grasal City hasn't been safe and was similar to two decades ago.

As Neil's people were busy finding the father and son duo, almost all the people with source and power began to make preparation to fight against ANB Corps within the night, supporting the rivals of ANB Corps. The people in the underworld began to prepare for the fight for the position of Lord of Grasal City.

Neil's people had noticed the activities but they weren't in a position to interfere. No one cared if Neil and his father were dead or alive.

The next talk for most of the people in the Grasal City was to debate about who would be the next CEO of ANB corps and the boss/ lord of Grasal City.

An inevitable fight for the position of Lord of Grasal Underworld and the acquisition of ANB Corps was on the way.

No one knew what changes would the new day bring…

Out of all those related people and the public of Grasal, a girl who was currently far away from Grasal city was sleeping soundly, not knowing that her life was gonna take a major turn soon…
