(City S, midnight 12)

A  gang surrounds a woman and a child who beg for their lives. All of a sudden, a man armed with an axe enters the room. He attacks the gang members and kills them all. He turns to the mother-son duo and waves his hand . They fall unconscious.

(Some hours earlier, Kanaya's clinic, City S)

A girl runs towards the clinic door in heavy rain. She opens the door and goes inside the doctor's cabin. She then addresses the doctor and asks, "Kanaya-san , did you search the details of the new guy I sent you a day before?"

Kanaya replies, "Yes and I already told you about him, Sae Hyun . He is ok. He was a former patient of mine. As long as you don't get on his nerves , you will be fine. Rudra is a good guy." Sae Hyun says , "For some reason, I am having troubles trusting a guy named after the Vedic God of Storms and the fiercest form of the Eternal Destroyer in Hinduism."

Kanaya sighs and says, "It's fine. It's completely normal to trust him." Sae Hyun says , "Okay, then. There are many other people needing psychological help. Those gangs have destroyed the concept of mental health in this city. Wish I had the power to do a penance like those epics and ask Lord Shiva to end these evil."

Kanaya says, "Fine I will help. And if your wish is pure, the God you worship will fulfill it."

(The next morning, Hyun's residence, City S)

A woman enters Sae Hyun's room and says, "Sae , wake the fuck up. It's dawn already. Also, watch the news."

Sae asks sleepily , "what's it ,JI-unnie? Another group of bullies beating someone up or worse killing or..."

The woman replies , "No , someone just massacred a gang . A literal gang. One guy. No one survives. The bodies were found on ceiling fans."

Sae gets flabbergasted . She shouts \, "What the actual f***!!! Ms Jeong Ji Hyun \, do you have any idea what you are talking about? I know you are the elder of us \, but that doesn't mean I would listen to any bullshit you say."

Ji grabs Sae's arms and shakes her vigorously. "This is the truth, " she says.

Shocked and puzzled, Sae moves towards the front room and watches the news. The T.V blares

"The Dangerous T Gang found massacred in their party home. A mother and son duo were found unconscious near the bodies"

Sae looks at her elder sister and says , "There's no mention of a single guy massacring them."

Ji points towards a headline. The headline reads , "Witnesses say they saw a guy leaving the house with something heavy."

Sae says , "I don't believe this yet but there's a possibility." Ji says , "A lot of weird things happening in the city."

Sae says ,"Yeah. It's just prophetic. Like this place was the peak of Evil and the outburst started. It's just the time for a hero to arrive."

Ji Hyun says ,"Stop quote those myths and call the group to inform about Rudra.He is gonna arrive tomorrow early morning."

Sae says ,"Those are the history of country B . And yes I am gonna call Minsu.

Sae picks up her phone and calls Minsu. Minsu answers from the other side.

Sae says , "Yo Minsu ,how are ya mate?"

Minsu answers in a low voice , "I am fine , Sae . Tell me what happened."

Sae says ,"Lighten up , you depressed slug . A new guy is coming to join us in our project or mission.  I am organizing a meeting at your cafe today evening and also one tomorrow after the guy arrives. We talk about our responsibilities now that a new guy is joining. So can we getting a reservation?"

Minsu replies ," This is your cafe girl. You guys don't need any reservations. Also I would be glad if you guys are around. Gina is celebrating Jihyuk's birthday in my cafe , which is tomorrow . She's gonna come to talk about it today."

Sae replies ,"So this is what makes you sad huh? Fine. Thanks mate. See you in the evening."

Minsu says , "Yeah sure. bye."

Sae says ,"Bye." She ends the call.

Evening , Minsu's cafe.

All of the friends gather around in the cafe. Minsu orders coffee for all of them and joins them.

Sae says , "Good Evening , friends. Thanks for coming on such a short notice. As all of us know , we have a new guy joining us. So we have to shift our responsibilities."

A black haired woman says , "The one who's joining is named Rudra. He is a good friend of my elder brother , Raiden"

Sae says , "Thanks for your input , Miyuki. Wait .. your sister said that he is a former patient....."

Miyuki replies ,"Yes ....he is a former patient and also my brother's friend. My entire kin knows him."

Ji says , "Your sister told me that Rudra is just like you. Has anger management issues. Is laid back untill pissed off and yes lacks sleep."

Lia says ,"Is he cute enough? Then we can ship him and Miyuki."

Miyuki frowns and shouts \, "Shut the f*** up."

Sae says , "I didn't get his pictures yet. I will soon tell you."

Marcus says ," Drop this shit. Just tell us what his job will be."

Sae says \, "According to the intel I have \, he is strong as f*** and has temper issues. We can make him a discipline guy."

Marcus says , "Thats cool. Where's Arjun by the way?"

Sae says ," He has gone back to his home country for some work. "

Minsu says , "We can have another meeting tomorrow evening . After his arrival. And yes before Jihyuk's birthday party."

Miyuki asks ,"Yeah about that, Sae told me that that bitch was coming to talk. Where's she?"

Minsu says ,"Don't call her the b word. Yes she came and reserved some table and insulted me and my profession."

Miyuki growls in anger and says, "Someday, I am gonna bash that bitch's head in"

Sae says , "Aight calm down. We all know Jihyuk is well off and always troubles people around."

Ji corrects Sae , "Everyone except Miyuki. She's more well off than him." Lia says , "Miyu flex"

Miyuki rolls her eyes and disregards Lia. She notices Ji A sitting quiet and nudges her cousin Ryu. Ryu asks Ji A ,"Is everything alright girl?"

Ji A says , "Yeah it's fine. Was just talking to my cousin ,Jihoo. Apparently he's working on that case . The Gang massacre one."

Sae asks , "So what has he found out?" Ji A says , "Ummm..it's quite confusing."

(Detective's office, City S PD)

A lady officer interrogates the mother. She says, "OH COME ON!!!, give me something. Something I can use." The mother answers in a terrified voice, "My name...is.. Park Yoonji. I was threatened by the T gang who kidnapped my son, Park Ji Sung. I remember a guy attacking the gang. After that , I don't remember anything. Even the details of the guy are hazy in my memory."

The officer hits her palm on her forehead and sighs. Another officer pats her shoulder and says, "Snow, calm down. Patience is the key to crack any case."

Officer Snow replies, "Yes, Jiho. I get it." The kid says, "There's a link between the house and the shopping mall nearby."

Jiho says, "Say what?"

(Next day , Early morning , City B airport.)

Sae Hyun arrives at the airport and joins the waiting line. "It would be better if the flight isn't delayed ," she mutters to herself.

It starts raining. "oh great. I pray this isn't the case when I come out , "she mutters.

Her anticipated flight name is announced in arrivals.

(Airport , City B)

Sae Hyun looks up for her anticipated flight in the arrivals board and sees that the flight is 15 minutes late. She takes out a board with the letters 'R U D R A' written on it. She puts on her earphone and opens Listenify app. She then selects a podcast related to the epic Mahabharata and starts listening to it.

Soon her anticipated flight lands and she raises her board looking for Rudra. As her earphone plays the following verse:-

Yada Yada hi Dharmasya , Glanir Bhavati bharataha . Abhyuttanam dharmasya tadattmanam srijmayam.

Sae Hyun sees a 5'8" man approaching towards her. The man has a dark skin and a muscular build. He is clad in a black jacket , white T shirt and black pants. He wears sunglasses and has a long hair.

The Verse continues , 'Paritranaya Sadhunam , Vinaashaya cha dushkruttham; Dharma Sansthapanaathaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge.'

The rain outside stops and the sun shines bright. Sae Hyun stands looking at the man in awe and surprise. The man gently taps her shoulder and says, "Earth to Girl , Hi"

Sae Hyun shakes herself out of the trance she was in and says, "Hello, Rudra. Welcome to country O." Rudra smiles and says, "Thank you. Which Hyun are you?"

Sae Hyun replies, "I..I am Sae Hyun. Nice to meet you." Rudra nods and says, "The pleasure is mine. I suppose it's your sister, Jeong Ji Hyun who talked to me over phone."

Sae Hyun nods in agreement. She says, "Our city is a 5 hour long drive from here. We will travel by my car. We van stop on road for brunch if you want."

Rudra says, "Sure, why not . Now we better hurry, coz I am famished."

They both get in the car and drive off.

Rudra looks at a figurine on the car dashboard. "Vasudeva Krishna," he mutters. Sae Hyun nods and says, "He is my favourite from the epic Mahabharata . Have you read those epics?"

Rudra smiles and says, "Lady, I am from country B. I have read different versions of Mahabharata."

Sae's eyes widen. She asks," Wait, there are different versions of it?" Still smiling, Rudra says, "Concentrate on driving."

Sae nods and continues driving. Soon they arrive near a cafe and she momentarily stops the car. However on seeing motorcycles parked near it, she turns towards Rudra and says in a rather uncomfortable tone," Uhh...this cafe is problematic .....let's go to the next one, okay??"

Completely aware of the situation, Rudra gets out of the car and says," I will be back in 5 minutes." He calmly walks into the cafe , ignoring a shouting Sae Hyun.

Rudra looks inside the cafe and find 4 gang members threatening the owner of the small cafe. He also sees a member behaving inappropriately towards one of the owner's sisters who work there. He calmly walks towards the order counter and motions one of the staff working there. She attends to him in a nervous tone. With a shaking voice, she asks, " What can I do for you?" Rudra smiles and says, "Get me four packets of Ways Potato chips and a box of tetra pack juices while I handle these punks."

The staff nods and goes inside. Rudra yawns and stretches his arms. He claps his fists and says," I am going to enjoy this."  He calmly walks towards the gang leader and separates him from the cafe owner. He faces the leader and asks," What's the matter?" The Gang leader replies," It's none of your business, foreigner scum. This is my territory and I can do anything here." Rudra sighs and says," In one of the religions back in my country, it's said that lust, greed and arrogance are the worst of sins and are the origin of other sins. You clearly are lustful towards the poor guy's sister. You are greedy for the poor owner's money and you are arrogant judging by the way you just spoke to me."

The leader laughs and says," so what?" Rudra grabs his shirt collar and says," You have 10 seconds to **** off before this gets to where you don't want it to be."

The leader mocks," Or else?" Rudra sighs and lets go of his collar. He then slaps the leader. The other members attack Rudra who makes a quick work of them. He grabs one and judo flips him on the other. He kicks the third one and then jumps to grab his arm. He proceeds to ask one of the owner's sisters," Did he touch you?" The girl nods and points towards her chest. Rudra growls in rage and breaks the member's arm who screams in agony. He grabs the member by his head and smashes it on the nearby table, knocking the member out. The other two attack Rudra. Rudra blocks one and sidekick's the other. He pins the first guy towards the wall and punches his spine. The member screams in agony. Meanwhile, the second member tries attacking Rudra with a chair. Rudra ducks and the chair his the first guy, knocking him out. Rudra grabs the second guy and slams him onto a table, breaking it and knocking him out. He then turns towards the leader who cowers in fear. Rudra laughs at the leader and asks," What's wrong? Is it fear? Do you wanna go back to your mommy?"

Willing his fear aside, the leader attacks Rudra only to be punched in the face. Rudra lands two more punches on his abdomen and kicks him , sending him flying through the door. The leader stumbles and falls near Sae Hyun who utters in surprise, "What. The. ****."

Rudra turns towards the owner and apologizes for the losses. He pays up for the chips packets, juices and the loss he caused. He walks up towards the gang leader and warns," If I find you here , tormenting innocent people, I will rip both of your arms and slap you with them. Get me?"

The leader nods in fear and runs off. Rudra hands one chips packet to Sae Hyun and says," Pick up your favorite juice flavor." Sae Hyun picks apple flavored juice and both get in the car and drive off.

Sae Hyun looks at Rudra with shock and awe while Rudra enjoys his packet of extra spicy chips while sipping a litchi flavored juice. She says," Kanaya was right. You indeed are a weird as **** man. Dude, aren't you afraid of anything? I was shouting not to go in but you still went in , caused a mayhem and now you are drinking juice as if nothing happened."

Rudra laughs and says," You saw what happened with those goons right? They got bashed." Sae Hyun asks," What if they had more people? What if they had weapons?"

Rudra says," I have fought people before, Sae Hyun. I appreciate your concern but I am a top grade practical martial artist and self defense coach. I have fought many people back in my country. It's nice knowing that you show concern to people you met just hours ago. This shows your kindness, doesn't it?"

Sae Hyun blushes a bit. She shakes her head and shouts," That's not important right now." Rudra smiles and says," well for me that is important." Sae Hyun raises her eyebrows and asks," Are you hitting on me?" Rudra laughs and says," I am just praising for your good nature."

Sae Hyun smiles. She asks," You look muscular. I just wanna...you know....." Rudra smiles and says," You wanna know my workout schedule, right?? Well I workout daily. I am a martial artist. I practice Adimurai and Kuthuvarisai . Both of them are ancient martial arts."

Sae Hyun says," Okay.."

Three hours into driving, they stop in front of another Cafe.

"My sister and a friend named Lia are inside. You can go and meet them while I park my car, ", Sae says .

Rudra nods and walks inside the cafe. He sees a brown haired woman waving at him. Rudra goes to that table and says , "Hello, are you Ji Hyun?"

The woman nods and says , "Hi , I am Ji Hyun and nice to meet you. This is Lia Jones."

Lia waves at Rudra. Rudra smiles and says , "the honor is mine."

Sae walks inside the cafe and comes near their table. Rudra pulls out a chair and points at it . He says , "After you , lady."

Sae smiles and sits on the chair. Rudra sits on the adjacent chair.

Lia says , "Awww, you are  such a  gentleman."

Rudra smiles . Ji asks , "So how are you finding country O ,so far?"

He replies , "It's cool." Sae Hyun says," Pretty cool for a man who just thrashed four goons an hour ago."

Ji Hyun asks," Sorry, what was that?" Rudra says," Nothing much. I beat up a few miscreants."

A woman arrives and sits on a chair adjacent to Rudra.

Rudra points towards the new woman and says , "I have seen you before. Are you....do you know who's Jihoo?"

The woman asks , "Which Jihoo? Like there are supposed to be countless Jihoos in this country."

Rudra pulls out his phone and opens a social media app. He shows the picture of a man and asks her , "Do you know this guy?",

The woman says , "yes . I am his cousin. I am Ji A. How do you know......wait are you his martial arts teacher ? Like he told me once that his teacher's name is Rudra and he used to send some queries on this app...",

Rudra nods his head. He says , "He came to my home country searching for inner peace and I taught him Adimurai."

(Mall near crime scene , City S.)

Jihoo and Snow walk inside the mall. Snow says , "I just recieved the information that the stores connected to the gang building have detained all the people they had during the time of murder. This will help us solve the case."

Jihoo nods his head. All of a sudden , he notices someone running down into the parking lot.

He says to Snow," Get up there and set up the interrogation procedure. I will be back in a minute."

Snow asks , "Why...what happened??"

Jihoo replies , "Just do it." He runs behind the escapee

Jihoo follows the escapee and manages to hold him in the parking lot.

He asks \, "2 questions . Why were you running and why are you wearing a f***ing mask?"

The escapee replies , "I thought you were a brilliant detective , Jihoo. You should have figured out who I am."

He asks , "Are you the culprit?",

The escapee replies ," Yes . Brilliant deduction , officer."

Jihoo grits his teeth and says , "Do you think this is some kind of a joke? Like I will believe if someone like you just says that you massacred an entire gang? I am asking you nicely , surrender yourself and confess the truith."

The escapee replies ,"Or what? You will make me to? I would like to see that happen."

Jihoo attacks the escapee. Both engage in brief but quick fist fight.

The escapee manages to hit Jihoo on the back of his head and he falls unconscious.

The escapee runs away , shouting , "I am not a bad guy officer. I am just giving them back the pain they once caused me."

Jihoo blacks out .

Luxury colony , City S.

Sae Hyun , Rudra , Ji Hyun , Lia and Ji A drive back in City S to the colony they all live in.

Sae Hyun says , "The third floor , 304 , is where Erika San lives and that's where you are gonna live. Meet you back in the evening."

Rudra asks , "Where is Kanaya san's clinic?" Sae Hyun replies , "Down the road and to the right."

Rudra asks , "Can you tell Erika san I would be there in 20?"Sae nods.

Rudra moves towards the directions Sae pointed to. He soon finds Kanaya's clinic and knocks on the door.

"May I come in? Or are you busy?" he asks. "Come in , " Kanaya replies .

Kanaya's eyes widen as she looks at Rudra walking in. She quickly moves towards the door and closes it.

She then looks towards Rudra and bows down. "Greetings , Your Majesty. I am glad to see you here."

Rudra smiles.

(2 years ago, Southern Rainforests, Country B)

A young Rudra is sparring with a younger Jiho. Jiho tries his best to block Rudra's punches, but Rudra defeats him with a palm strike to his chest. Jiho falls down and Rudra smiles. Jiho gets up and says in a frustrated tone," Dammit. I fell for the same technique again."

Rudra laughs and says," Chill out, Vaikartana (alternate name of Jiho). You did well. However, this frustration is what makes you my best student." Jiho asks," Aasaan (Teacher in ancient martial arts terms), how do I counter this technique?" Rudra smiles and says," The best way to counter a technique is to study and know about it."

Jiho says," I don't get it." Rudra says," We martial artists practice martial arts to conquer ourselves; to conquer our previous self. Humans invented neural nets after learning about adaptation and evolution. We do a task, we learn about the error, we update our way. So, if we learn some move, we learn its weakness too."

Jiho nods his head and says," Got it." Rudra says," No matter how strong or a skilled a person is, they will commit a mistake. You just have to search for it."

(Present Day, Z mall, City S, Country O)

Jihoo's eyes open, and he sees Snow crouching near him. "You almost looked peaceful. Except for the fact that you are lying in a parking lot. With an open wound on your head," she says.

Jihoo wakes up and holds his head. "What happened? Did you see anyone go?," he asks.

Snow replies," He spent some time kicking your ribs and then ran towards a car. He climbed in it and escaped." Jiho says," That guy was snooping around when we saved the mother-son duo, and I found him here as well. I asked him who he was, but he mocked and said that he was the culprit, which cannot be true. Forensic reports say that the killer is left-handed, but this guy was clearly right-handed, not even ambidextrous."

Snow says," I will notify the other units and will also give the car number." Jiho asks," How's the interrogation going?"

Snow replies," We are only halfway through. I need you to do the other half. Most of the people have mentioned the presence of a weird extra staff."

Jiho's eyes widen. He asks," Extra staff?" Snow nods and says," It's better if you talk to them."

Jihoo and Snow complete most of the interrogations.

A woman's voice at the door asks, " May I come in , officers?"

Jihoo replies , "Yes come in." He looks up to see his ex girlfriend , his past and his first love standing in front of him. For a moment , he feels delighted but soon his delight turns into disgust.

"Jihoo ," she says , "I didn't expect you to be the investigating officer in this case."

"It's Officer Jihoo or Detective Jihoo , Ms Sumin. Have a seat. Let's get to business," Jihoo replies.

Dejected by Jihoo's reply , Sumin sits on the opposite chair to Jihoo.  Jihoo asks , "You were present in this shop during the supposed time of murder right? Just tell me what you saw."

Sumin replies , "It was just the regular day at that shop. Theodore and me were shopping like we would normally do. But there was one weird thing. There was an extra staff. Like every store on this floor contains 5 helping staves but that day there were 6."

Snow says , "Nice observation. Tell me more about this extra staff."

Sumin replies , "The extra staff was quite weird. He hardly helped. He was constantly looking at his watch , talking to someone on phone and roaming near the staff room."

Snow says , "Listen to me very carefully , did you happen to catch some words from his talks? Like some terms he used repeatedly."

Sumin replies , "He was apparently talking about time and some thing to be done at that time. Also he was repeating this word Kaala."

Jihoo says , "Try remembering the exact words you heard."

Sumin replies , "As far as I remember , he said , "Kaala , is this supposed to be the time for doing the thing. And the only tool I get is an axe , right?" . This is what he said."

Jihoo says , "The murder weapon is axe. He hacked them with an axe. The staff room is probably the connection between the Gang house and Mall."

Sumin says , "That's all I know and about Theodore, he knows the same stuff. But he has a viral infection so he ..."

Jihoo says , "Call me once he gets better . I need to interrogate him too." He hands his visiting card to her.

Sumin says , "I already have your number." Jihoo says , "I changed it a long time ago."

Sumin grabs the card and leaves.

Snow says , "This finishes of the last interrogation. we have a lead. Now we can continue."

Jihoo nods. Snow says , "Can I ask you a question...I mean it's kinda personal but still now it's on my mind.....?"

Jihoo says , "Yeah . Go ahead." Snow asks , "Do you still love Sumin?"

Jihoo replies , "Imagine if your boyfriend cheats on you with a girl that you hate , a girl who always bullied and acts like you are the one at fault for not providing him the comfort. Would you still love him?"

Snow says , "No , definitely not." Jihoo says , "Just reverse the genders in the above story and that's what she did to me . I hate her."

"You still care about her though. For the opposite of love is apathy . Hate is just love gone bad."

Jihoo looks at the door to see Rudra standing there. He runs towards him and says , "Aasaan , what a pleasant surprise!!! When did you arrive here?"

Rudra replies , "Just some hours ago. Had my lunch at the place I am living in. Just thought would meet you and do the rest stuff. How are you mate?"

Jihoo replies , "I am spectacularly fine. What about you?"

Rudra replies , "As good as I can be. Are you just working on the case or just randomly interrogated your ex ?"

Jihoo replies , "I am working. Just looking for a solid lead."

He looks at Snow and says ," Snow , how about I talk to my teacher while you gather the info from the forensic team?"

Snow nods her head in agreement and leaves the room.

Jihoo turns to his teacher and says , "Aasaan , I encountered a snooper a few hours ago. He fought in a familiar manner. It seemed like Kalari but also had some techniques of Musthiyuddha  and Mallayuddha  in it. This is an unique style. Something like someone from your 'kind' would use."

Rudra asks , "What are the other leads along with that?"

Jihoo replies , "Also , one of the witnesses mentioned that he was talking to some guy named Kaala. Do you have any idea?"

Rudra says , "Kaala ... Kaala can be short of Mahakaala or Karikaala. That's what I can tell you."

Jihoo asks," Do you know who is Kaala? Is he/she a part of our organization?

Rudra replies, "Sometimes, the thing you search is right in front of you, but you are too confused to see it. Here's happy news . I will help you solve the case."

Jihoo says, "Really? That would be so helpful."

Rudra says, "Yes. The Master and the Disciple have united, so there's nothing to worry. Alright , you search for other leads and I will take your leave."

Rudra leaves.

(Jiho's apartment, Old School Road, City S)

Snow asks Jiho," Your family name sparks my curiosity. It's unique and very different from the common family names found in this country. Why is your family name 'Taeyang'?"

Jiho replies," I asked my mom this same question. She told me that it is my father's family name, and she wanted me to have it. It means 'The Sun.' "

Snow slurps her noodle soup and says," That's so cool. Jiho the Sun to the rescue." Jiho laughs. Snow asks," Why are you always associated with the Sun?"  Jiho nods his head sideways and asks," Sorry, what?" Snow says," Your family name is Taeyang which translates to the Sun and you mentioned that you were called Vaikartana by your teacher which means 'descendant of the Sun or related to the Sun.' "

Jiho replies," That I don't know." He continues to eat his rice. Jiho says," There's something weird about the murder. For one guy to kill a gang, either the guy must be a super-human or the gang must be incapacitated."

Snow nods. Jiho sighs and looks at his phone. He selects a hidden folder in his gallery and looks some personal photos. These photos include a selfie of Jiho and Snow, a photo with Jiho, Sumin, Gina, Minsu and Ji A and an unknown girl with black hair, another selfie of Jiho, an unknown boy and Rudra. Snow peeks into his phone and points towards the last selfie. She asks," Who is the third guy in here?" Jiho replies," This is my classmate and brother-like friend, Beongae Taejin. He is also named as Vajra Taejin. He was an orphan when he came to the Monastery, and he found a family like bond there."

Snow asks," Do you have any alternate names like that?"  Jiho nods and replies," Aditya Jiho." Snow raises her eyebrow and asks, " Aditya?"

(Jiho's memory , 2 years ago, Gana Monastery, Country B)

Jiho asks Rudra, "Aasaan, what is the use of this knowledge I am learning?" Rudra smiles and replies," This martial art teaches you both physical and spiritual warfare. It purifies your soul of all the impurities and heals its injuries. It teaches you to protect yourself from harm and protect innocents from danger."

Jiho nods. Rudra leads Jiho to a dark room with a single source of light. The light goes through seven focal lenses and reflects on a screen opposite to the source. Jiho asks," What is this, Aasaan?"

Rudra replies," An illustration of your inner energy flow. All forms in this Creation have energy; energy known as Prana . This energy flows through breathing lifeforms when they breathe. Living beings have focal points of energy called Chakras . As far as bipedal beings are considered, there are 7 of them. Now look at this construct, the light here represents Prana that flows through the body. The focal lenses represent the seven chakras which focus the energy. Now, this also has a philosophical meaning."

Jiho asks," What's that, Aasaan?" Rudra replies," If you focus your information through right-thinking channels, you will get correct result."

(Present day, Jiho's apartment, City S)

Jiho asks," Babe, that weird staff could be an assassin, right?" Snow raises her eyebrow and exclaims," Heh?! An assassin?!"

Snow thinks for a moment and says," Yes , a dangerous assassin by the name of Yami no Oni or Demon of Darkness was released from Country B's Central Jail. I don't know much details about him. Maybe Li'l Whale or Yeoseong Yong may know about him."

Jiho nods. He calls Li'L Whale using his mobile phone. He speaks to Li'l Whale who asks him to come and meet him person.

Jiho tells Snow," I will be back by evening. Untill then, find out more information about T gang and their recent crimes."

Snow nods and Jiho leaves.

(Cafe Nyx, City S food center)

Jiho orders coffee for himself and Li'l Whale. Whale asks," Why did you take the name Yami no Oni?" Jiho replies," I think he is the culprit behind Gang T's massacre. So, how does he work and why are you afraid?"

Whale gulps and says," Yami no Oni doesn't follow any rule at work. Most people only employ him when the situations are dire. He is what is name suggests, a demon. He is fucking unpredictable. He investigates the reason why the hirer wants to assassinate the target and if the reason shows that the hirer is wrong or guilty of a crime, he eliminates the hirer. That too in the most brutal way possible. He has a lot of money which no one knows where it came from. Many assassins say that he is son of a demon or I don't know. Even Yeoseong Yong becomes uncomfortable after hearing his name but she doesn't harm him. Many people had hired Yeoseong to counter the Dark Demon , but she simply refused to do anything to him. Infact I heard that in one such fight, he called her elder sister or something...that's all I know."

Jiho sighs and sips his coffee. He says," Is that it?" Whale nods. Jiho asks," Did T gang hire any assassins?"

 Whale replies," They don't need to....I mean didn't need to." Jiho says," Alright, Whale. Thank you very much. Also, I heard that you have a new jelly business." Whale smiles in gratitude and says," All because of the 100000 Won you sent, Taeyang."

Jiho smiles and gets up. He says," Alright, I will take your leave. If you come across any other such details, please do contact me."

Whale nods.

(Evening 8:30 pm , Cafe Nyx)

A man dressed in a black cloak and mask stands outside the cafe. He mutters a song," Na Varava Varava , unnai Toratthi Varava , Ne vedhaicha Veliya unnaku thiruppi Tharava" He stretches his arms and legs and exhales. Suddenly, his clothes change into the cafe delivery personnel clothes.

He sneaks in the cafe and puts a drug in a packed coffee and packages it for delivery. He looks at the food parcel nearby and puts a note in it.

He laughs and takes the parcel alongwith him for delivering it to the person who ordered it.

(9:00 pm , Jiho's apartment, City S)

Snow and Jiho discuss the case. Jiho says," I am pretty sure that the one who attacked me in the mall is Yami no Oni. "

Snow asks ,"What if that man was actually Kaala and .." Jihoo interrupts her , "No he isn't Kaala"

Snow asks , "How do you know that?" Jihoo replies , "The murderer was getting briefed by Kaala which means Kaala  is an even bigger entity than the murderer. He/she wouldn't simply come out , not in a dangerous situation."

A sudden knocking sound is heard . Snow attends the door. A young man says , "Ma'am , here's your parcel."

Snow asks , "You are a different guy. You are not the regular guy." The man replies , "Steven has some work so he is on a leave. I am hired as a delivery boy."

Snow asks , "What's your name?" The boy replies , "My name is Noir."

Snow replies , "Hello Noir . Thanks for your parcel."

Noir leaves.

Jiho and Snow start eating and soon finish eating. Snow notices a note in the bag and picks it up. She opens the note and reads it:

'Jiho-ni san, I hope you are well. You haven't realized that you and your girlfriend just escaped from near death. I was going to drug or poison you .....but you are like a elder brother to me and this would hurt Kaala and Akka too...so I didn't. The same hands that fed you and healed you did that to me as well. I love the spice made up of antidote to poisons. You know me ....just try to remember me. I...We are just cleaning dust and dirt here. We are destroying pests here ....in this city. You of  all people should understand. Iyam asti pidith Youdhyasya Dharmayuddha. I met your girlfriend...my to be sister in law 15 minutes ago and I gotta say nice choice. Just drop this case and live your life happily. I don't wanna hurt you and I cannot I know. That's all

Your third brother like friend,

The Dark Demon'

Jiho's eyes widen in horror and anger.

(Green Mountains, City S outskirts)

A dark figure says to the Dark Demon," It's your time to shine. Kaala wants to eliminate this gang next. The next gang is Vayusuta' s target."

The Dark Demon asks," Shakrasuta, what if Jiho-ni san attacks?"

Shakrasuta replies," Kaala said he is with us. The Master and his disciples have united but still considering how aggressive Jiho-hyeong is .........I will be there for backup. I am the Arjuna if Jiho-hyeong is Karna ."
