After disconnecting his father's call, Luis quickly dialled Nyx's number, his heart still pounding from the conversation with his father. He needed a distraction, and Nyx's update was just what he needed. As the phone rang, he hoped Nyx had some good news to share.
"Hello?" Nyx's voice came through the other end, sounding calm and composed.
"Nyx, it's me, Luis," he said, trying to catch his breath. "What's going on? Are you in Mumbai?"
"Yes, I'm at the airport," Nyx replied. "I think the man we've been tracking is finally arriving today."
Luis's excitement grew. "Are you sure it's him?"
"Positive," Nyx confirmed. "From yesterday all his girls are decorating the palace and the atmosphere is lively and today afternoon, more than fifty cars came to the airport from his palace. So, it must be him."
A surge of anticipation washed over Luis. "Keep a close eye on him," he instructed Nyx. "We can't afford to lose track of him now."
"I won't let him out of my sight," Nyx assured him. "I'll gather as much information as possible. Wait for the pictures. I will send you in a few minutes." Nyx said confidently. At present, she is inside the airport lounge.
"That's really sweet of you. By the way, I will be in Mumbai by tomorrow morning. Did you find his true background?" Luis asked in an excited tone.
"No… his background is clean like a slate. He is just a poor orphan. I even dug into his childhood." Nyx replied while staring at the large number of cars and people who stood on the runway.
She is looking varyingly at the fifty people in mercenary clothes. With one look she knows that they are not normal thugs or security. Especially the person with an eye patch. He is leading this group of fifty members. Nyx felt a sense of danger from that man.
"Hahaha… maybe he is just a poor bastard, who got lucky. I will kill him with my own hands." Luis said with a burst of loud laughter.
"Luis, that guy was once a poor bastard, but not now. At present this entire city is in control. At present a big mercenary group is here for him as a security. You should come prepared. Otherwise, it won't be easy to take out this man." Nyx said while concentrating her gaze on the large crowd of people waiting on the runway.
"Hahaha… you don't need to worry. That Farus family princess is supporting this young lad. That big mercenary group must belong to her." Luis said in a playful tone.
"I said what I have to say. It is your wish what to do next. My work will be done after sending his photos. So, see you in the next task." Nyx said in a serious tone after placing the coffee cup on the table.
"Wait… Wait…" Luis called out hurriedly as Nyx prepared to cut the call.
"What...?" Nyx asked in an impatient tone.
"Don't quit the task now. You should still verify that man's connection with the princess of the Farus family. Don't worry. I will pay you double the price." Luis said after thinking of an evil plan inside his brain.
After talking for some more time, Nyx disconnected the call and focused on the runway. This time she did not take any spying spots as she is afraid that the fifty people are always looking for spies.
That is why she is mixed with the crowd in the airport lounge while staring at the outside vision using binoculars. That narrow space in between the uncovered glass window is providing her full view.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the runway, fifty figures stood in perfect formation, donning sleek and formidable mercenary uniforms. Each one exuded an air of professionalism and discipline, their eyes focused on the distant skies, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their esteemed Princess, Serena.
The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the luxurious air jet descended gracefully, its gleaming exterior reflecting the last rays of daylight. Behind it, an impressive fleet of cargo planes and war jets stood in readiness, ready to transport the vast wealth and valuable training materials brought by their princess.
There are also hundreds of cars and transport vehicles are waiting on the runway. Faruk the patriarch of the Abdullah family personally came to pick up Das from the airport. But he stood behind the lines of those fifty mercenaries. Even though he did not understand what was going on, he waited patiently for the arrival of Das.
As the aircraft touched down, the roar of engines subsided, replaced by an air of reverence as the mercenary spies stood at attention. A few moments later, the jet's door opened, and Princess Serena emerged, radiating an aura of authority and grace. Her presence commanded respect, and each spy stood even taller, proud to be in the service of such an exceptional leader.
After getting down from the air jet, Serena and Natalia walked side by side towards the waiting war jet of Red Rose. Even after five minutes of landing the air jet, Das did not come out. Both of them started calling Das's name impatiently, their concern growing with each passing second.
Slowly, the doors of the air jet creaked open on both sides. Their hearts raced as they saw Das's figure inside, with his head resting on Red Rose's shoulder. Serena's eyes widened in surprise, and Natalia's heart sank with a mix of emotions.
"D-Das?" Serena's voice trembled with concern as she stepped closer, unsure of what she was seeing.
Natalia's grip on Serena's hand tightened as they approached him. "What's going on? Is he hurt?" she whispered worriedly.
As they got closer, they could see that Das was not hurt but seemed to be sleeping or unconscious. Red Rose stood beside him, her expression a mix of concern and tenderness. She gently patted his cheek, trying to rouse him.
"Das, wake up," she said softly, her voice filled with a mix of worry and affection.
Slowly, Das stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He looked disoriented for a moment before realizing where he was. He quickly sat up, rubbing his eyes as he tried to focus.
"Serena, Natalia?" he said, his voice slightly groggy. "What's going on? Why are you calling my name?"
Serena let out a sigh of relief. "You had us worried there for a moment," she said, giving him a gentle smile. "We've been waiting for you to come out."
Natalia's concern melted into relief as well. "Yeah, we were calling you for a while," she said, her voice softening.
Das looked a little sheepish. "Sorry, I must have dozed off for a moment," he admitted. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire
Red Rose couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," she said, giving him a reassuring pat on the back.
Das glanced at her with gratitude in his eyes. "Thanks, Red Rose," he said sincerely.
As they all stepped out of the air jet, Serena and Natalia exchanged knowing glances. They could see that there was something between Das and Red Rose, something that went beyond just being comrades.
