After revealing how Abhilash took revenge on the Thakur family — destroying or taking over their business with Aryan's help, and even killing Shanaya's sister, her father, her uncle, and her cousins —
Shanaya said after listening to Abhilash:
Shanaya: I knew the Thakur clan would be completely ruined one day. Since the day they wronged me, I stopped considering them my family.
Abhilash: What, you're not angry with me?
Shanaya: No, I'm not angry. In fact, I'm very proud of you.
Abhilash: Thank you.
Shanaya: Umm, listening to you, I feel like the one who got me arrested must be one of your men...
Abhilash: They're my friend's guards.
Shanaya: Hmm.
Suddenly, Abhilash's phone rang—
ting...ting...
Without delay, Abhilash picked up the phone.
Abhilash: Hello?
Aryan: If you're done chatting, come to the IMAA residential area.
Abhilash: Okay, okay...
Then, Abhilash started his car, and an hour later, they reached the residential area.
But Shanaya was surprised because she knew that the Mumbai branch of IMAA was now free from foreign martial arts invaders.
Then Shanaya asked Abhilash,
Shanaya: Is your friend in the IMAA?
Abhilash: Yes, he's seated at the top of IMAA.
Then Abhilash parked the car in front of a villa. He took Shanaya to the villa. They reached the garden area where two people were sipping coffee. Then Abhilash said:
Abhilash: Mr. Aryan, I'm here.
Aryan: Okay, come and have a seat.
But this time, hearing the melodious voice of a teenage boy, Shanaya was stunned.
Then, Abhilash and Shanaya took their seats.
Abhilash: Shanaya, meet Mr. Aryan. He helped me take revenge on the Thakur family and helped form the Star Group.
Aryan: Hello, I'm Abhilash's friend.
Shanaya: Hello.
Abhilash: And this is former IMAA chief Darjan Singh, who gifted me a magnificent Range Rover.
Darjan Singh: Hello, I'm also Abhilash's friend.
Shanaya: Hello.
During the introductions, Shanaya ignored Darjan Singh but was intrigued by Aryan.
Shanaya: Mr. Aryan, are you from a super-rich family?
Aryan: No, I'm from a middle-class family in Assam.
Shanaya: Then how did you fund all this just to help Abhilash?
Aryan: Actually, I wasn't from a rich family, but I've made much more than that.
Aryan: Abhilash, listen — Darjan Singh told me there's a "Lion Group" in Mumbai. Their leader controls the entire Maharashtrian underworld. So I'll be busy solving this issue. After that, I'll leave Mumbai. Then you and Darjan Singh must rule this empire and expand it globally.
Abhilash: Alright. I'll also try to set a base in Assam in the future.
Darjan Singh: Yes, I'm also thinking about that. After conquering the Maharashtrian underworld, I'll try to control the northeast region too.
Aryan: No, don't do that. Actually, my family doesn't even know about my wealth, and I came here to invest the money I inherited.
Abhilash: Then where did you invest or plan to invest?
Aryan: I used the money to buy some equity in a hotel. But still, I have millions of rupees left.
Abhilash: If you want, you can invest in my upcoming mall. And I'm sure you'll be more interested once you learn about its features.
Aryan: Okay then, prepare a presentation and show it to me.
A while later, everyone left the villa. On Abhilash's orders, the remaining Thakur family members were spared further punishment, but they now had no money even to support their family.
Two days later, Darjan Singh arranged a meeting with the leader of the Lion Group. On one side was Darjan Singh leading IMAA, and on the other was Rocky Bhai leading the "Lion Group." During the meeting—
Rocky Bhai: I'm surprised that IMAA is still being led by Darjan Singh and not a new master.
Darjan Singh: It's not your concern who leads the IMAA.
Rocky Bhai: Fine, that's not my job. But what I must do, I will do.
Darjan Singh: Yes, you know, IMAA has already conquered the south and west Maharashtrian underworld. The Lion Group controls the eastern part. So...
Rocky Bhai: So you want to win the east too. But for that, you'll have to fight us.
Darjan Singh: Hold on. IMAA doesn't want to be violent. That's why we've arranged this battle. The rules are simple: one fighter from each side will fight. Whoever wins, will rule all three regions.
Rocky Bhai: Master Darjan Singh, you need to revise your rules.
Darjan Singh: What???
Rocky Bhai: Since IMAA fighters are trained in weapons and we are not, weapons won't be allowed in the fight.
Darjan Singh: Fine, I agree with your suggestion.
Rocky Bhai: Alright then. Varun will fight for the Lion Group.
Darjan Singh: Mr. Aryan will fight for IMAA.
In fact, many fighters on both sides didn't know Aryan's true identity. So Darjan Singh kept Aryan's identity hidden.
Rocky Bhai: Mr. Aryan? I'm eager to see Aryan, because if someone is chosen by former IMAA master Darjan Singh...
Just then, Aryan jumped into the fighting ring. Varun also stepped into the ring. The crowd from the Lion Group began cheering for Varun.
Varun was a great warrior, and Lion Group members knew of his skills. He also had a national-level ranking.
But on the other hand, IMAA members remained silent.
Only the top officers or IMAA's master knew about Aryan. The rest of the IMAA fighters only knew that Aryan was a good friend of their leader Darjan Singh and held a high-ranking post in IMAA.

What will be the result of the fight?
Will Aryan be able to defeat Varun?
What will be the future of the Maharashtrian underworld?
