After taking the stone from Elder Rivers, he carefully kept the stone in his pocket and decided to leave the mansion as he was about to leave.
"Ayaan, wait. I will tell someone to take you there; it will be much easier for you that way." Saying that Elder Rivers walked back to his table and pressed a bell, which was golden in colour.
"Damn, is it all gold?"
"No, it isn't; it is just an aesthetic choice," Elder Rivers replied.
"Damn it, did I blurt it out?" Ayaan thought to himself.
After a short while a thin, frail man walked inside the room; he looked old, with a few wrinkles on his face and his hair a shade of grey.
"Sir, you called," the man asked.
"Yes, could you please tell one of the drivers to take him to Kamalkund. There will be someone to receive you there. I have informed him that you were coming.
"Ok, sir, I will take my leave now, and thank you." Ayaan said and exited the mansion as he followed the old man.
"Wait a minute, I thought that this was all in this mansion." He thought to himself as he entered underground; the more he walked, the more luxury he saw, something completely opposite to what was outside.
It was an underground tunnel. The tunnel was lit with lights which were mostly neon in colour, making it feel like he was entering something futuristic.
The tunnel finally opened to a big open ground.
Ayaan's eyes widened at what he was seeing on the floor, which was under the mansion and was as big as the mansion area.
"Damm, now I know on what he spends his money." Ayaan said, looking at the scene in front of him.
"Yes, he certainly is fond of cars a lot, and this is a place even where even his son is rarely allowed, so I wonder what made him send you here," the old man commented.
Ayaan ignored the comment and looked at the scene in front of him; every car he saw, his eyes widened more and more.
"Sir, please choose the car you want to go on, and I will inform the driver," the man said.
"Sir, I am not really used to these cars, and travelling in such cars can we just go through a normal car?" Ayaan asked.
The old man looked at Ayaan with a dumfounded gaze for a while, and then a small smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, sir, but we don't have such cars here, nor do we have them in the mansion, so we can just book you a cab. What do you say?"
"Yeah, I think that would be better," Ayaan replied.
"Then just wait for me outside; I will inform the patriarch about this. Saying that the old man took Ayaan outside and headed upstairs.
As Ayaan stood outside, he began looking at the mansion once again.
"The sheer scale of this mansion...I hope one day I can buy such a mansion and stay with Sunidhi here," Ayaan thought to himself.
"Sir, sir," a hoarse voice interruved his train of thought.
"Oh, yeah, are we ready to go now?" Ayaan asked.
"Yes, sir, I have booked a cab for you, but it won't be able to enter the mansion, so let's wait for it outside," the old man replied, and with that, they both went out of the mansion.
After walking for a short while, they both stood at the side of the road. Below them was a board: "Welcome to Jalprasth." After waiting for a short while, a sleek Bentley drove near them and stopped.
"Your ride is here," the old man looked at Ayaan and said.
'H...huh, m...my ride, but you told me that you have booked a cab."
"Well, that was the original plan, but the patriarch's friend insisted that he will send a vehicle for you," the old man said in a plain, flat tone.
The vehicle was right in front of him, and at that moment he couldn't even say, 'I want a normal car,' so he just got inside the vehicle without much protest.
As he got inside the vehicle, the standstill environment around him began to move; the vehicle had already gained the speed of 100 mph.
"Sigh." Aman relaxed in the back seat, closing his eyes and waiting to reach the destination.
"Another rich fellow; just how rich are even those people in the first place?" Ayaan thought to himself.
After relaxing for a while, the engine of the vehicle came to a stop, which made Ayaan open his eyes. In front of him was a big gate which had a smill lining of gold embedded, while most of the bars were green in colour and the gold lining was embedded in the middle.
In the middle of the gate was a big nameplate – "Rathroe Estate.
After a short while the gate opened and a vehicle entered the mansions' area. In the middle was a road, and in between these roads were trees; all of these trees were of the same colour.
"Huh, how the hell are there cherry blossoms here?" Ayaan thought to himself while going towards the mansion.
Ayaan looked everywhere towards the mansion, but his body did not have any sensations.
"Why is there no presence of prana here?" Ayaan wondered to himself, and after a minute they finally reached the mansion, which was different from what he saw in the Rivers mansion at the top of the mansion. There was a big statue of a bull; the front door was shut.
As the vehicle came to stop Ayaan stopped out of the vehicle the driver taking guiding him foreward.
"Please follow my steps, sir," the driver said to Ayaan.
"Heh, the door is right in front of me, so why would I need to?" before Ayaan could complete his train of thought, it felt the stairs were not there where they were supposed to be; where he was standing, there was a large hole.
"W...what the fuck? Why is there a hole here...how the fuck am I flying?"
"You are not flying, sir. I am holding your hand," the driver said, standing one stair above him.
As the driver pulled him up, Ayaan's legs were shaking like they were jelly, and his back was completely wet.
The driver led them to the front door and pressed a button, which was inside of the door. After a short while, the door opened, and a girl with blue eyes, one cheek full of sweets, opened the door.
Her blue eyes widen in shock as she tries to gulp down the food.
"Mountain, man, you," she said hurriedly, trying to swallow the sweets she had stuffed herself with
"Wait... Ishani, first gulp down the food, and please don't complain about toothache tomorrow."
