In the bustling city of Mumbai, within the confines of the Northern port area, a camp bore the insignia of the Aries family. Here, amidst the controlled chaos, a towering figure loomed large. The seven-foot-tall behemoth stood before Luis, the young master of the Aries family, with a deferential posture.
His head was bowed in a display of respect, but his imposing presence couldn't be concealed. Twin daggers, their edges honed to perfection, hung ominously on his back. Each weapon was a testament to the warrior's prowess and strength.
However, it wasn't just his formidable stature that commanded attention. On the right side of his face, a tattoo of a fierce tiger in mid-pounce etched an aura of intimidation. The tiger's snarl seemed to come to life, making the warrior's visage even more fearsome.
As the massive warrior stood before him, Luis, the young master of the Aries family, assessed his new guardian with a single, appraising glance. The formidable presence of this specially raised warrior sent a reassuring message—a formidable shield for the Aries family scion.
Luis, nonchalant as ever, raised an eyebrow and addressed the guardian. His foot rested casually on the table, where a glass of rare vintage wine from his family's collection sat. Beside him, Sophia and her seven husbands assumed a respectful posture, acknowledging the significance of the moment.
"What is your name?" Luis inquired, his tone casual yet expectant. In this world of power and intrigue, a name could carry weight, and he was keen to know the identity of the formidable protector his father had chosen for him.
"Young master, my name is Baku," he began, his voice low and steady, each word enunciated with precision. The flickering light inside the tent danced on his battle-scarred face, revealing the rugged features of a warrior who had seen countless battles.
"I'm the one who killed more than three hundred people when your family clashed with the Leo family," he continued, his eyes unwavering as they locked onto Luis's. There was no hint of remorse or pride in his confession, only a stark acknowledgment of his deeds.
Luis, the young master, listened intently, his expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Baku's next words resonated with the weight of his past actions. "Because of my achievement, your father awarded me the General position and also gifted me these twin daggers." With a slow and deliberate movement, he drew the gleaming twin blades from their ornate scabbards. The blades shimmered in the flickering light, a testament to his mastery of the martial arts.
After this long introduction, Baku kneeled before Luis, his armour-clad knees sinking into the ground, and he bowed his head with reverence. "Young master, give me a chance to serve you by your side, I promise that I will put my life on the line to protect you," Baku pledged, his words like a solemn vow etched in stone.
"Get up. I accept your request," he declared firmly, cementing their new alliance. "From today onwards, you are my personal bodyguard." Luis's said with a proud face.
Tears of gratitude welled up in Baku's eyes as he rose to his feet. He couldn't contain his emotions and bowed repeatedly before Luis. "Thank you... Thank you, young master. It is a great honour for me," he said, his voice trembling with sincerity.
Sophia, who had been observing the scene with excitement, couldn't hold back her enthusiasm. "Good. It's perfect. Brother, why don't you visit Das now? Now you don't need to concern yourself with that bitch reminders," she suggested, her tone bubbling with eagerness.
However, their moment was interrupted as Nyx made a sudden entrance, her eyes blazing with anger. "Who are you calling a bitch?" she demanded, her presence filling the tent with an electrifying tension. The atmosphere shifted from one of celebration to one charged with confrontation, leaving everyone in the room on edge.
Amidst the palpable tension in the tent, Luis's irritation seemed to hang in the air like an oppressive storm. He ran a hand through his dark hair, trying to regain control of the situation before it escalated further. His voice held an undertone of exasperation as he addressed the bickering women.
"Enough," he commanded, his tone laced with authority. "I don't want to hear another round of your nonsense."
Sophia, who had been ready to unleash her verbal onslaught, was momentarily taken aback by Luis's stern interruption. She quickly closed her mouth, but her eyes still smouldered with frustration.
Nyx, equally unyielding, maintained her stance. She regarded Luis with a warning expression, her deep-set eyes locked onto his. "Luis, I don't concern this fat pig. consider the consequences. It might not be good for you visit Das now. The Farus family might trap you" Nyx said with a straight face.
Luis, however, exuded an unwavering confidence, underlining his trust in Baku's capabilities. "Nyx, it's okay," he countered firmly. "Don't forget that I'm the young master of the Aries family. That fellow didn't even dare touch a hair on my head. More than that Baku is there is there to protect me. Sophia is already kept on Farus family movement in the city." Luis answered assuringly.@@novelbin@@
Sophia, though silenced by Luis's authoritative stance, seethed with inner anger. Nyx's earlier insult had cut deep. She couldn't digest the fact that Nyx called her a fat pig in front of her husbands.

In the dead of night, beneath the vast expanse of the starry Mumbai sky, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Airport lay shrouded in silence. The only disruption to this tranquillity was the faint roar of a sports car's engine as it raced down the airport runway. The car moved with a reckless determination, its sleek body blending seamlessly into the shadows.
Inside the car, Das gripped the steering wheel with a firm resolve. The absence of headlights added an element of danger to his clandestine escape. He knew he had to leave the city without alerting anyone, not even the watchful eyes within the palace.
The engine's purr echoed through the empty runway as Das skilfully navigated the car through the darkness. The sensation of speed, paired with the eerie silence of the airport, created an adrenaline-fueled atmosphere. It was a daring escape, executed with precision.
As the city lights faded into the distance, only a handful of individuals were privy to Das's departure. His reasons for leaving remained a well-guarded secret, known only to those who held his trust. In the stillness of the night, his car was a phantom, vanishing into the unknown, leaving behind a city oblivious to his departure.
