章節 23: Ch 23 Gekas Submits
"What is Ori Realm?"
Sushani solemnly asked, and all his brothers behind the one-way mirror were patiently waiting.
"Hahahaha
Hahahaha
You guys are really unbelievable, dared to target men from Ori Realm without having a clue about it.
Hehehe
You killed an exiled citizen of Ori Realm, he might be a nobody in Ori Realm, but killing him is still not a something sane man would do.
Citizens exiled are still the citizens of Ori Realm, hahaha…
They say real men die once. Let's see if that'll be true in your case; the ruthless guards will hunt each one of you like dogs and give the most painful death."
Gekas barked at them with a snort as he looked through the glass wall.
A hint of hesitation flashed through Sushani's eyes, and their resolve was shaken.
Hari discerned the changes, he could feel they were losing their stands.
As he rumbled his brain to come up something an idea flashed; he knew it would turn the table. Hari grabbed Kiya's Laptop.
While Hari had to dunk his head into the computer, Gekas noticed the subtle changes and gave a disdainful smile and enjoyed the sight of his enemy falling into an abyssal fear; he knows the hidden dangers Ori Realm.
With every second that ticked by, their confidence was breaking apart. In this deadlock situation, Hari suddenly barged into the interrogation cell.
He confidently paced to Gekas and plugged in a pen drive to the projector. The screen behind Hari once again displayed a video - it was the footage of their conversation with his teacher.
Smug in Gekas's face instantly disappeared and a deep-rooted fear re-emerged. He was literally trembling and choked in fear.
"Mister, Is Sir Jagor Lion, your teacher?"
Gekas cautiously asked as his face started losing its colour.
Hari unemotionally nodded, immediately Gekas's face paled and the man was on his knees.
"Master, please forgive my impudence, I'll tell everything about Ori Realm; please don't kill me."
Gekas begged and pleaded, he knew the only way salvage the situation was spilling information about Ori Realm.
"OK, but don't even think of betraying me."
*snap*
Hari accepted and snapped his figures. Out of nowhere thick glittering golden rope appeared around Gekas's neck.
Slowly the loop shrank, with every passing second it came closer to his neck and stopped just a few centimetres away from the skin.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead; Though Gekas couldn't see the rope, he could feel some close to his neck. With his limbs bound to the chair, he could only powerlessly pray for some miracle.
The most terrifying part was even now he couldn't feel any danger, it was as though his well-trained instincts were turned off.
*snap*
And the rope vanished, it took a couple of minutes for Gekas to realize the same.
"If you ever think of betraying us, remember that an invisible rope is floating around your neck."
Hari gravely warned as he untied Gekas from the chair and left the room.
Once Hari left, Gekas sat there in silence. Unlike a day ago, he wasn't left in complete darkness or bound to the chair, but he seemed a lot more sacred.
Until Hari's entry, Gekas was waiting for an opportunity to escape, and he was even planning of revenge. But that one video changed everything, he knew if didn't submit painless death is the best-case scenario.
Behind the Glass wall, Anil had collapsed, and his body was thoroughly drenched in sweat while Rita massaging his body.
Unsurprisingly, the golden rope was Anil's doing, but the stunt thoroughly drained his mental energy.
"Anil how are you so good with art, be it the rat or this golden rope or those tons of images you drew a few days back everything was too real. They are like the carbon copy of reality, what's going on?"
Riya casually asked, she was trying keep him consciousness; things will get a lot more complicated if Anil loses his conscience.
Anil gave a rare blissful pure smile and looked into the ceiling.
"Art is my passion, recreating something by giving life to through a sketch is one of the most fulfilling activities on this planet.
I won the championship of Young Artist Championship for India when I was a high schooler."
Anil left silly laugh reminiscing his glorious past.
"What happened then?"
Riya followed up, now she was truly into the subject.
"What would have happened, after schooling, I wanted to join an Art college to pursue my passion, but my family was totally against it. Thanks to my talent in Business Management, I was put into a prestigious business college in Canada. Actually, all along I knew this was bound to happen, you could that was rebellious adolescent side into play."
Anil casually narrated without a hint of regret or disappointment in his face.
None of them could really sympathize with his feelings until today, each one of them had been through a lot of difficulties. But it had always out of free will; now they understood the difficulty of those born with a silver spoon.
These people don't have any real choice. Everything from love to passion has to be sacrificed to preserve their wealth, whereas people who nothing to safeguard can create something from scratch which they pour their heart and soul into.
While Anil was recovering; Hari and Sushani walked out with a content smile. Everything from kidnapping to subduing Gekas is scheme Hari and Priya cracked during the week.
A week ago, Sushani confirmed that Gekas had some connections with Ori Realm and he's a killer because she witnessed him assassinating David Jen mercilessly.
But they weren't sure if he was contract killer or righteous man pushed beyond limits. Thus Hari made plans for either possibility with Priya and Riya.
It might seem ruthless and unfeeling on Hari's part for torturing someone without knowing if he was actually guilty. However, killing someone as many reasons as you may have, is still a punishable offence.
Thus the torture Gekas went through was completely justifiable; moreover, there was a high possibility of him being a Hitman; given his questionable source of funds.
Gekas mockery and ridicule was an unexpected turn of events. Fortunately, Hari's quick wits saved the day, and they were back on track.
