The demon wasn’t a complete savage.

CHAPTER 21

Thakvar mansion,

Singoor Desert.

It was midnight, and Shivay was on a conference call with his brothers.

Rishab was traveling outside Singoor and had called to discuss something important.

“You were right, Shivay,” said Rishab. “There is a lot more to the savage bastard who took our sister. Rudra Kabali is related to the Kapoors from the UK.”

There was a brief silence.

“The Kapoors with a security empire?” Nakul asked. “The owners of K4S Corporation?”

Everyone knew about the K4S Corporation that was a multinational private security company headquartered in London. Even Shivay and his brothers often used the technology and various services provided by K4S. From security personnel, monitoring equipment, response units and a lot more, the company was even used by governments across the world.

K4S Corporation was owned by the Kapoors, who were powerful and came from old money.

“Yes,” Rishab replied. “K4S owns Globesat, the company that blocked the satellite imaging in the north Singoor region.”

Shivay wasn’t surprised that K4S acquired satellite companies.

“How can you be so sure Rudra is related to the Kapoors?” Shivay asked, even though his gut instinct had told him that Rudra Kabali grew up outside Singoor.

“We haven’t gotten back the DNA results since we don’t have samples of the Kapoors, but I’ve sent you pictures.”

Shivay opened his phone and looked at the set of pictures. The first one was of a football team at the Oxford University. It was taken nearly six years ago. He zoomed in on the red arrow placed on top of the team captain.

The guy appeared to be around twenty years old. He was taller than all of his teammates and had short, dark hair with tanned skin. The most distinct feature were his grey eyes that stood out even from a distance. The description under the photo said Rudransh Kapoor was the football team captain.

The next picture was taken more recently, and it made Shivay’s blood boil. It was a still from the lower camera footage of the helicopter taken a few days ago. Rudra Kabali was holding a knife against Nandini’s neck.

Ignoring his anger, Shivay focused on Rudra Kabali’s face. He had long hair, bigger muscles and a deeper tan, but the facial features and distinct grey eyes stood out similarly as the picture taken six years ago.

It was him. Rudransh Kapoor was Rudra Kabali.

“Fuck! It is that same bastard in both pictures!” Nakul said angrily.

“Several advanced facial recognition software have also confirmed the same,” said Rishab.

Shivay stared at the images. “It explains why, despite putting pressure from the UK government, we aren’t able to remove the block on satellite imaging over north Singoor. The Kapoors are powerful and protecting their own.”

“Yes,” said Rishab. “They have removed all traces of Rudransh Kapoor from the internet. This particular picture was found in the university archives.”

Most billionaires and powerful people kept their private lives and those of their family secure. Shivay and his brothers had also ensured there was no digital footprint of Nandini anywhere on the internet.

“Rudrash Kapoor is the youngest grandson of Yashwant Kapoor, the chairman of K4S. Everyone is told that Rudransh Kapoor met with an accident right after university graduation and prefers to live in seclusion. He has a significant stake in the company shares and is listed as one of the board members.”

“But why the hell did someone from a rich, powerful family end up as leader of a savage clan from halfway across the world?” Nakul asked. “And how the hell did the Kabalis simply accept him as the heir and clan head?”

Shivay frowned even though he had the same questions. He couldn’t connect Kapoors with the Kabali clan. But then, he knew it was quite possible because until one-and-a-half years ago, the Singoor clans had no clue that Shivay and his brothers existed and that they were the Thakvar clan heirs.

“Let’s get the Kapoors to talk to us,” Shivay said, knowing it would be hard for any of the investigating teams to get information on the Kapoor family.

“I think they might already be onto us,” said Rishab. “But I will push for a meeting.”
