章節 15: Op Rooppur XIV: The manifestation of Greed

Sohel looked up and saw Naser sitting in a chair in front of the control panel. The two people tied Naomi and Sohel's hands behind their backs and sat them up next to Jacob and Mitali. Sohel asked Naser, "Why are you doing this? Weren't you....."

Naser interrupted him, "Looks like you believed my acting yesterday. Did you really think that I got that rich in just three years just by selling a few classified documents? I'm the one who's been titled the manifestation of greed by my lord, and I'll do everything in my power to live up to that title."

Mitali screamed, "What the fuck are you talking about? Do you even hear yourself?"

Naser laughed, "Oh, I'm sure what I'm talking about. After learning the harsh reality of having nothing, I was given a chance. A chance to have it all. So, I'm just making full use of the opportunity."

Sohel asked, "How did you get out?"

Naser laughed again. He said, "You really didn't think I was alone, did you? I guess I can tell you. You're going to die in a few moments anyway. It would help kill some time too."

6 Hours Ago

Pabna Police Station

OC Das entered the station. Four soldiers and a handcuffed Naser entered soon after. The OC went to his room after ordering his soldiers to put him in a cell. Naser was thrown in a dimly lit cell. The cell only had a toilet and a worn-out mattress kept at one side. Naser went and sat on the mattress. A few moments later, OC Das came and stood in front of the cell.

He said with a smirk on his face, "How are you enjoying this 5-star resort room, Mr. Naser? Please make yourself comfortable. After all, you'll be here for a long time."

Naser was sitting on the mattress with his face buried in his hands. He didn't say anything. The OC went away a little annoyed, as he expected a reaction from Naser. But he didn't know Naser was smiling behind his hands.

A few hours later, a Land Rover Defender stopped in front of the station. Four people wearing office military uniforms got out of the car and entered the station. They entered the OC's chamber and said something to the OC. A few moments later, the OC came out of his chamber and ordered the sentry posted to guard the cell to open the cell door as the army shall handle him from there. Those four uniformed guys took Naser and loaded him in the car.

As they were going away, one of them uncuffed Naser. Naser asked, "Are the preparations complete?"

The man replied, "Yes, boss. We shall strike at 0830 sharp tomorrow."

"Good. I'll accompany you guys tomorrow. Gotta repay an old friend."

Present Time

Jacob asked with confusion, "If you were behind all this, then Lu Shen..."

Naser laughed uncontrollably. He said while trying to control his laughter, "Oh, come on. How dumb can you guys be? You came to apprehend someone without even confirming his involvement. I mean, he was involved at first, but when the boss takes over, the subordinates have to back down, you know? After I'm done here, I'm going to make him take the blame. Although he did a good job attracting SNA's attention so I could prepare easily."

Sohel asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"Didn't I tell you already? I want everything. If I can sell the uranium used here. Imagine how much money I can make."

Jacob mocked Naser, "So, at the end of the day, you're just a petty thief."

That seemed to have ticked Naser off. He got up and stood next to Jacob. He crouched down and punched him in the stomach. Jacob bended in pain. Naser punched him a few times more. When Naser stopped, Jacob was coughing blood. He fell to his side, not being able to withstand the pain anymore. Naomi and Mitali could do nothing but scream at Naser to stop. Sohel was sitting quietly, clenching his fist.
