Khalik:
"Who are you?"
Sakthivel:
"Me? I am your death."
Khalik immediately tried to contact Abdul.
Khalik:
"Why is there no signal?"
Another Terrorist:
"Sir, we're out of range of the tower."
Khalik became furious.
Khalik:
"You idiots! This is a satellite phone!"
Sakthivel smiled.
Sakthivel:
"Hey! Don't fight among yourselves. I'm the one you should be fighting."
He paused.
Sakthivel:
"And one more thing... your satellite connections have been disconnected all over the world."
Khalik stared at him in shock.
Khalik:
"Shit! Shoot him!"
All the terrorists immediately pointed their guns at Sakthivel.
But—
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
Every gun was jammed.
The terrorists looked at their weapons in confusion.
Terrorist:
"Leader! Our guns aren't working!"
The terrorists immediately ran toward their training battlefield to retrieve other weapons.
Sakthivel followed them.
One by one, he took down the terrorists.
However, he deliberately kept Abdul's main soldiers alive.
Finally, only Khalik and the remaining main soldiers were left.
Khalik:
"Why are you still keeping us alive?"
Sakthivel walked toward him.
Sakthivel:
"I need one piece of information. Give it to me, and I'll leave all of you alive."
Khalik remained silent.
Sakthivel:
"Where is Abdul?"
Terrorist 1:
"I don't know."
Sakthivel looked at him coldly.
Sakthivel:
"Then die."
BANG!
Sakthivel shot him.
He turned toward the next terrorist.
Sakthivel:
"Where is Abdul?"
Terrorist 2:
"I don't know."
Sakthivel:
"Then die."
BANG!
The terrorist fell to the ground.
Sakthivel turned toward Khalik.
Sakthivel:
"Where is Abdul?"
Khalik looked terrified.
Khalik:
"We really don't know."
Sakthivel stared at them for a moment.
Sakthivel:
"So, you're not useful to me."
He raised his weapon.
Sakthivel:
"Then all of you die."
Sakthivel eliminated every remaining terrorist.

INDIA
After completing the mission, Sakthivel returned to India for his next operation.
Before going to the CBI office, he went to a graveyard to meet Navinathan.
Navinathan was standing in front of his mother's grave.
Sakthivel approached him.
Sakthivel:
"Navinathan, how are you?"
Navinathan turned around.
Navinathan:
"Hey, Sakthivel. Why are you here?"
Sakthivel:
"I've been appointed to retrieve the diamond."
Navinathan looked down sadly.
Navinathan:
"Oh..."
Sakthivel looked at him.
Sakthivel:
"They told me that you resigned from your job. Why?"
Navinathan remained silent for a moment.
Navinathan:
"Even the government wasn't supportive of its own officers. Don't ask me about it. Just do your job."
Sakthivel:
"What are you going to do now?"
Navinathan:
"I don't know. There's so much confusion in my head. I need some peace."
He looked toward his mother's grave.
Navinathan:
"So, please leave me alone."
Sakthivel nodded.
Sakthivel:
"Hey, if you ever need any help, call me."
Navinathan:
"Thank you. And all the best."

CBI OFFICE
After that, Sakthivel went to the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) office.
He asked about his next mission and the team that had been assigned to him.
The Special Crime Officer introduced the team to Sakthivel.
After the introductions, the officer turned toward Sakthivel.
Special Crime Officer:
"Okay, Sakthivel. From now on, you're in charge."
Sakthivel:
"Okay, team. Let's discuss everything tomorrow morning in the meeting hall. You can leave for now."
The team members began leaving the office.
But Manthagini stayed behind.
She approached Sakthivel.
Manthagini:
"Sir, I want to—"
Sakthivel:
"Don't call me sir. Just call me by my name."
Manthagini:
"Okay, Sakthivel. What happened during your childhood?"
Sakthivel looked at her.
Sakthivel:
"Why are you asking?"
Manthagini:
"Because many people talk about your records and achievements. The whole of India knows you as 'The Terrorist Hunter.' But some people also talk about your tragic childhood."
She paused.
Manthagini:
"If you tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
Sakthivel's expression suddenly changed.
Sakthivel:
"I don't want anyone to look at me with pity."
He turned away.
Sakthivel:
"So go home. And don't ask me about that again."
Manthagini:
"I didn't mean it that way..."
Sakthivel suddenly shouted.
Sakthivel:
"GO HOME!"
Manthagini became silent.
Manthagini:
"Okay... okay. I'll leave."
She quietly walked away.
After Manthagini left, Sakthivel stood alone in the room.
He began remembering his childhood.
His anger slowly grew.
He suddenly slammed his hand against the table and smashed the objects placed on it.

THE NEXT DAY — MEETING HALL
The entire team gathered in the meeting hall.
Sakthivel stood in front of them and began his briefing.
Sakthivel:
"Before we plan to retrieve the diamond, we have to understand its history."
Everyone listened carefully.
Sakthivel:
"This diamond is much older than we think."
He displayed an image of the diamond on the screen.
Sakthivel:
"Before the Chola dynasty, in the year 675 CE, the Pallava dynasty discovered this diamond while mining."
He continued.
Sakthivel:
"After that, the diamond passed through the hands of many kings."
He paused.
Sakthivel:
"Finally, in 1777, the diamond came into the possession of Veerapandia Kattabomman."
Veerapandia Kattabomman
Gender: Male | Age: 39
Sakthivel continued.
Sakthivel:
"When the East India Company entered Tamil Nadu and began ruling the region, Kattabomman secretly hid the diamond."
He looked at the team.
Sakthivel:
"That is the history of this diamond."
He changed the slide.
Sakthivel:
"Now, let's get to the plan."
The team focused on him.
Sakthivel:
"According to information from our secret spy in Germany, the diamond was auctioned at a German museum for 50 million euros."
He paused.
Sakthivel:
"That's approximately 500 crore Indian rupees."
Sakthivel:
"The winning bidder was the chairman of Farming Gold Industries, who is one of the top five billionaires in the world."
Nagulan raised his hand.
Nagulan:
"Okay, Sakthivel. Where is the diamond now? How are we going to retrieve it?"
Sakthivel:
"The diamond is currently stored in the storage area of Farming Gold Industries."
Sagathevan looked at him.
Sagathevan:
"How do we get inside?"
Sakthivel smiled.
Sakthivel:
"I have a plan."
He began explaining his strategy to the team.
After hearing the plan, Devi smiled.
Devi:
"Nice plan, sir."
Sakthivel immediately looked at her.
Sakthivel:
"Please call me by my name."
Manthagini watched Sakthivel with a confused expression.
Suddenly, Sakthivel's phone began ringing.
He looked at the screen.
It was the Special Crime Officer.
Sakthivel answered the call.
Sakthivel:
"Hello, sir."
Special Crime Officer:
"Sakthivel, we've got a problem. There has been a terrorist attack at a church near our office."
Sakthivel became serious.
Sakthivel:
"Sir, do you know who carried out the attack?"
Special Crime Officer:
"No. You have to go there immediately."
Sakthivel:
"I'm on my way, sir."
Sakthivel ended the call.
Manthagini looked at him.
Manthagini:
"Shall we come with you?"
Sakthivel nodded.
Sakthivel:
"Okay."

THE CHURCH
Sakthivel and his team arrived at the church.
Sakthivel entered the church without carrying any visible weapon.
The moment he entered, the terrorists surrounded him and locked him inside.
Nagulan looked at him in disbelief.
Nagulan:
"Is he crazy?"
Sagathevan smiled.
Sagathevan:
"I'm sure he'll kill all of them."
Inside the church, Sakthivel secretly sent a message to the snipers positioned outside using Morse code.
The snipers immediately understood the message.
They prepared to take their shots.
Every terrorist was clearly visible through their scopes.
The snipers waited for Sakthivel's signal.
Suddenly, one of the terrorists removed his mask.
He stepped forward to command the others.
Sakthivel looked at him.
His eyes widened in shock.
He immediately recognized the man.
Sakthivel slowly reached for his secret weapon.
A smile appeared on his face.
Leader of the Terrorists:
"Why are you laughing?"
Sakthivel looked directly at him.
Sakthivel:
"I've been waiting for this moment for twenty years."
The leader stared at him in confusion.
Suddenly, Sakthivel unlocked the restraints that the terrorists had placed on him.
He pulled out his hidden pistol.
He aimed it directly at the terrorist leader.
CLICK!
Sakthivel pulled the trigger.
