Chapter 15 - The Devil in a Suit

At first glance, Kabir Raaz was perfection.

Tall, handsome, charismatic. Owner of Raaz Industries—one of the most respected corporations in the country.

He donated crores to orphanages. Built schools. Sponsored national athletes.

TV channels called him a "Living Legend."

But behind that shining smile...

Was a demon.

And Rudra had just found the crack in his golden mask.

Rudra stared at the screen.

"Let's tear apart this empire."

The Phantom Warehouse

Three days passed.

Rudra was in Mumbai, hiding in an abandoned hotel's underground room, surrounded by monitors.

He had traced one of Kabir's secret warehouses—hidden under the name "Raaz Logistics Pvt. Ltd."

From outside, it looked like a normal transport godown.

But through his hacked surveillance feed, Rudra saw children.

Dozens of them.

Chained. Locked in cages. Whispering in fear.

And there were men in black suits, holding rifles and walkie-talkies.

This wasn't just business.

This was a fortress.

Rudra clenched his fists.

"Time to break hell."

Step 1: The Distraction

He prepared his tools.

Smoke bombs. EMP devices. Audio jammers. Micro drones.

And a unique AI voice-changing mask—gifted by the system itself.

At 2 AM, he stood on the opposite rooftop.

Below, inside the warehouse, one of the guards looked up.

A laser dot blinked on his chest.

"Sniper?!"

BANG!

A flashbang exploded—blinding white light.

Chaos erupted.

Guards rushed out.

Rudra used the distraction to send his drones inside.

They attached tiny microphones and injectors on every weapon stored.

Step 2: Enter the Phantom

Rudra wore a matte-black combat outfit and dropped inside like a shadow.

Two guards aimed rifles—

"Stop! Hands up!"

He simply whispered: "Bang Bang."

Their guns fired in reverse.

Both collapsed.

The other guards, confused, rushed in—only to be blinded by more smoke.

Meanwhile, Rudra reached the underground cells.

Children huddled back in fear.

One tiny girl cried, "Don't hurt us…"

Rudra knelt and removed his mask.

"I'm not here to hurt you."

He pulled out a small sticker from his pocket—a smiling teddy bear.

"I'm here to bring you back to your parents."

Step 3: Message to the Devil

Before leaving, Rudra placed something on the warehouse floor:

A projector.

He uploaded one message:

"I saw your empire. I walked through your darkness. I freed your prisoners.Now I'm coming for the throne you sit on.— The Righteous Villain"

He activated the auto-play.

Then vanished.

Kabir Raaz Watches

10 hours later.

Kabir stood in his luxurious office in a skyscraper, watching the video.

The warehouse was in flames.

His guards were hospitalized.

His secret was exposed.

But instead of anger…

He smiled.

"Interesting."

He lit a cigar.

"So, a ghost who thinks he can touch gods?"

He turned to his assistant.

"Put a bounty on this masked man—₹10 crore for his identity. ₹50 crore for his head."

The Game Has Changed

Rudra's phone buzzed.

Breaking News:"Mysterious Vigilante Frees 30 Children from Hidden Warehouse in Mumbai."

"Anonymous Message Threatens Billionaire Kabir Raaz."

"Police Confused. No Clues. No Witnesses."

The public was divided.

Some called him a demon in disguise.

Others called him the real hero India needs.

On social media, hashtags trended:#RighteousVillain#ShadowJustice#TrueHero

Rudra looked at the sky.

"This isn't just revenge now…"

He had tasted something greater than power—

Purpose.

The Devil's Invitation

A day later, Rudra found a small envelope at his hotel door.

No address.

Just a black card inside:

"Welcome to the Table of Titans.""One criminal. One killer. One king.""Come alone. Midnight. The Broken Opera House."

A challenge.

Rudra grinned.

"So… they want to meet the villain face to face now?"

Somewhere Else…

A white-haired man sat inside a dark chamber, reading reports.

"Rudra has grown too fast. The prophecy… is shifting."

Another voice replied, "Should we warn the organization?"

"No. Let him burn the outer trash. When he reaches us—"

His eyes glowed violet.

"—only one of us will remain."
