Chapter 59 – The Empire Built from Scratch
Krish welcomed everyone to the private space. He asked them to sit and said, “Sekaran’s shadow men, he will communicate with us shortly!”
After five minutes, the voice appeared on the TV and through the intercom. No display of who it was.
“Hello Krish, Rakesh, Sulaiman, Abhinand, Mukesh, Madhu, Joseph, Sajishan, and Prem.
I have spoken with each one of you, but this is the first time we are in a conference call.”
All murmured in agreement.
Vikram, in disguise as Shadow: “So let’s begin. I will tell you the agenda before we discuss. So we all know what happened to Sekaran and who is the reason behind it.
Like me, everyone will be resolute to bring Aadharsh down and beat his empire with our network built by Sekaran.
Emotionally that’s the right way, but practically we are vulnerable given the scenario. We can operate but we may not know how strong Aadharsh is now — many top clients will be willing to work with Sekaran’s son in his place rather than the traditional path, which is already delinked.
Aadharsh might be willing to work with you all as partners with hefty sums and partnerships. It’s up to the individual to take it or not.
But before coming to this table I carefully assessed everyone of you and I’m sure we are all on the same page.
To build an empire from scratch we need a lot of patience, shrewdness and unity. For some reasons I cannot operate openly outside.
I will appoint Krish as lead. Sekaran’s closer aide Vikram will be partnering with him. He knows the important links and deals, he is one of few Sekaran trained himself. More than Vikram you can trust Sekaran’s upbringing in the field. We are all brought up by him.
Plan is simple: Krish will operate this network from now along with Vikram. Vikram will be communicating all and managing operations in India. You all will continue to work with your respective fields.
For now we should not move in bulk, like big orders. We should appoint mediators, take jobs through them, split it into multiple, so that Aadharsh doesn’t smell.
Let the volume accumulate. Let our top customers come back to us seeing our methods and knowing our names but in a different new name.
Aadharsh won’t find issue, he will just consider as another competitor. Once we take 50% of our clients who are now all set to go to Aadharsh, we will unmask ourselves. He won’t get a chance to even fight us then.”
The entire room murmured — saying this plan is feasible, it looked good.
Mukesh began: “Sir but we hear some suspended cop links are still not yet come in deal. Which is crucial at this stage given we are starting from scratch. Previously Sekaran name is enough, now using his name won’t fetch anything further — it will be redirected to Aadharsh.”
The shadow voice said: “I will make sure the suspended cop is on board.”
Prem said: “If Bharath is on board, his network link can help every one of us.”
Abinandh asked: Why Krish and Vikram needs to lead and not any of others, ? im not trying to cause a rift im just curious
Shadow said: Its Sekarans Plan B if he could not continue Empire due to Aadhash factor, im blindly folloiwng it
The whole members there agreed instantly if Sekaran did it then no questions
Sulaiman asked: “How about funding?”
Shadow said: “Krish will manage it. He will give you shadow sources, you just convert it.”
Sajishan spoke: “I was no man once. Sekaran got me into this. I flourished because of him. Now I need to give him a better send-off. Bringing back his empire will be one right?”
Shadow agreed, and everyone looked emotional.
After a minute Shadow said: “No more questions.”
All murmured no more.
Shadow said: “Let’s start from next week. Before that Krish and Vikram will complete all formalities and make deals with every link. You just receive all papers I send through Vikram.
I’m cutting the call. Vikram is outside the room. Discuss with him.”
The intercom cut, and Vikram came in.
The core members looked at him — the once rugged henchman and driver is now a partner in business, running as a partner to the dark network.
They didn’t doubt him a bit, because all were Sekaran’s boys. Vikram said to the team.. lets start in a week…
Cut to hospital
Priya was happy to see Mirna again. The friends chatted random stuffs. After 1 hour of duty, they came back to the cabin.
Dr. Shiney called Mirnaa. Her phone rang.
Mirna: “Akka how are you?”
Priya asked Mirna to put on speaker so she can speak.
Priya: “Hey Shiney, Priya here as well.”
After some girly talks, Shiney finally asked: “Are you okay? I heard from Priya 2 days back. I don’t want to trouble you so I didn’t call.”
“All good now?”
Mirna said: “Yes.”
“So who it is actually?”
Mirna said: “We are not sure, it’s a drunk and drive case.”
Shiney worried said: “Once Bharath told me there is a threat from the big shot so he sent his men to monitor you and Vikram. Still this happened.”
Mirna was surprised to see how Bharath was shielding them in secret.
Mirna then asked: “Did he tell you?”
Shiney said: “Yes.”
Mirna then said: “I don’t know what we were to Bharath. He constantly checks on us, protects us.
I even overheard what Krish said to Vikram. On the day of accident Bharath’s Thar jeep trailed him, Krish blocked it seems. Accident happened only after that.”
Shiney said: “What stupid thing it is? Won’t a cop know better? Why Krish blocked him?”
Mirna said: “I fear this caused some misunderstanding in friendship it looks like so. Because Bharath stayed that day from hospital to house, after that he left telling me he has duty to take care. I felt like he felt unease”
Shiney said: “Mirna, Bharath is 100% good person and caring. He always thinks good for you both.”
Priya said: “Yea I know it.”
Shiney: “If there is a misunderstanding between friends, if the fear to speak, you need to mediate between them.”
Mirna said: “I have not spoke with him much.”
Shiney said: “Don’t you have his number?”
Priya said: “I have his number maybe I will give.” And she laughed.
Mirna and Shiney puzzled: “How you got it?”
Priya said: “Post accident Bharath gave me. He wanted me to inform him if something happens.”
“Gold he is,” Shiney said.
Priya asked: “It’s really confusing why Bharath is so good but I never seen them so friendly with each other, he is so unsocial.”
Shiney then said: “Maybe he is someone like Mirnaa, who is just grateful and servicing.”
Mirna asked: “What is there to be grateful for him to us?”
Shiney said: “Did you forget you are the one who admitted him on bed to treat him while everyone else doesn’t want him to get admitted when he was beaten at an event.
You protected him and he is trying to return his favor.”
Priya now got the hint: “Yea… See I wanted to say this… I promised I won’t say to Bharath, but I feel I should not hide it anymore. Bharath gave these hidden cams to install in hospitals so that he can monitor if any issues for her.”
The ladies are in awe of Bharath’s doing. Mirna is impressed and grateful — a shadow hero she thought.
Bharath hears every single word from them. He was just in his Thar car just outside of hospital, hidden somewhere in shades.
He smiled: “So this is what ladies thinking about me especially Mirna.” He laughed. “I’m a savior lol.” And he spoke to laptop: “Shiney thanks for manipulating her on behalf of me. You are doing exactly what i want without even im telling you.... Laughs.. Your ‘You protected him and he is trying to return his favor’ line is gold.” I will defintely use it
The ladies don’t know they are being monitored. The cam is not for opponent, it is used for his surveillance on Mirna. And it perfectly worked.
Same day, Vikram came in intercom, hidden his face and dictated what to be done for his new empire — Sekaran’s stamp to build from scratch.
Bharath used spy cam to hear their thoughts and used it as reference to build his next step.
Both Vikram and Bharath are marching towards their goal.
Krish welcomed everyone to the private space. He asked them to sit and said, “Sekaran’s shadow men, he will communicate with us shortly!”
