Chapter 99 : Determination

"This is auction is pride of our both organisations... so I'm also taking extra care for it." Reynar replied with a respectful tone. The auction which Ria invited Das to attend is conducted by the partnership of Zebra organisation and Shadow organisation.

That is why the head of the Shadow organisation came to meet Reynar to ask him about the arrangements and preparation.

"It's ok Reynar... my Shadow organisation first time collaborated with you guys. I'm expecting good results and big profit. Don't disappoint me in this matter." The person who covered his face fully with a black mask said before leaving the bungalow.

"Father, how can you obey his commands?... He is literally ordering you around!..." Natalia, the girl who is after Das ghost card, said in a complaining tone.

"Nat, don't worry about him. The shadow organisation had a backer with ghost card and we are receiving a large number of important supplies from their organisation. So, he has every right to order us around." Reynar explained in a consoling manner.

"Father, we are paying three times extra for those supplements. There is no need for us to bow down before him." Natalia exclaimed annoyingly. She did not like her father bowing down to others.

"Nat, we are working in the criminal society, it is common for us to bow before the strong. For the survival and development of our family you need to do many things in future which you don't like."

"At one time, my father kneeled down before a ghost card holder for a getting a valuable medicine to save my life. I will also do the same if its for the family." Reynar explained her in a lecturing tone.

He is not angry at her daughter... but he got disappointed that his daughter is still thinking about pride.

"Sorry father, I shouldn't have talked like that." Natalia said in a depressing tone.

"It's ok... What happened in Mumbai? Did you meet that person?" Reynar asked eagerly while looking at his daughter.

"No father. That person has a very fool proof background. As he did not like spying... I enquired through other channels. He grow up in that city since childhood... even after three days of intense searching I did not find a single clue about his true background." Natalia explained annoyingly while thinking about Das.

"Nat, are you sure that he had a ghost card?... I think your brother made a mistake." Reynar asked with a doubtful look as he can't imagine ghost card in the hands of a teenager without any hidden background.

"Father, I'm hundred percent sure that, he had a ghost card... I personally checked the transaction details at the Black Sheds in Mumbai port area." Natalia replied assuringly.

"Then what should we do now...? Is there any way to befriend him?" Reynar asked with a worried face.

"After completing this auction, I will personally meet him and ask for his co-operation." Natalia replied with a thoughtful look.

"Nat, I don't know what you do, but make sure to find a way to co-operate with this person. If you succeed in this, we don't need to bow before Shadow organisation and also, we can save a billions of money." Reynar said ardently while looking at his daughter's eyes.

After seeing his father's emotion, Natalia determined to do anything for getting a co-operation with Das.

Mumbai, Film city, inside a luxurious villa...

Das just woke up to the sound of baby laughing. The clock is still ticking at five o'clock and it's still dark outside.

Das activated his vision to see in the pitch-dark bed room. The baby is still trying to get down from his stomach. Das got dumbfounded after activating his vision. Not because of the baby... Stella is hugging his neck while sleeping with a loud snoring.

Her face is just a breath away from Das. Das tried to remove her hands from his neck... But she hugged him more tightly in that super sleep mode.

After ten minutes of intense struggle, Das successfully got away from Stella's embrace. He picked up the milk bottle on the table and started feeding the baby. While feeding the baby, Das thought of what will happen in today's peace meeting.

"I really want to see the face of the Shetty family patriarch after placing a twenty thousand crores bet. He will definitely regret his life." Das muttered slowly as he thought of the peace meeting.

"Oy... drink slowly, no one is going to snatch your food." Das uttered in a funny tone as the baby is munching on the milk cap with a loud noise.

'Hehe...' the baby started giggling as he touched her nose. Slowly, the morning sun started lightening up his window and Stella took the baby into her hands as Das need to go for training.

"Wait... let me handle the baby. I'm not going for training today." Das said as he opened both arms for the baby.

But before Stella decided on that, Das iPhone started ringing like a chicken. Stella laughed at him and took the baby for morning routine.

"Why would anyone call me in this time...?" With a doubtful face, Das picked up the call from an unknown number.

"Hello... who is this?" Das asked impatiently.

"It's me."

With that one word Das understood who is calling. A wide grin appeared on his face. The person who called is the head of the Patel family... Maria.

"Where are you? Are you safe now?" Das questioned in a caring tone.

"I'm safe now and everything is alright." Maria replied with a sweet smile. n(/O--v(.e-/l).b.-1--n

"Then why did you call me? Anything important?" Das asked back.

"Nothing. Are you free now?" Maria asked in a nervous tone.

"I'm always free for you." Das replied without considering the important peace meeting at Abdullah house.

"I'm in Taj palace now. Do you have time to come here?" Maria asked doubtfully in a stuttering tone.
