1989—Somewhere in Central IndiaThe rain didn't stop that night.It poured like the sky itself was mourning.In a broken slum near the railway tracks, a woman lay coughing blood into her palms. Her name was Aisha. Her son stood beside her—silent, watching, learning.The boy's name was Armaan.He was only 10.But his eyes… his eyes did not belong to a child.They belonged to someone who had already decided something."Armaan…" Aisha whispered weakly,"Promise me one thing… Don't die poor."The boy didn't cry.He didn't scream.He just nodded.That night, poverty died inside him.
Years Later…
The city had a new rumor.A young man who didn't smile.A man who didn't beg.A man who didn't run.Armaan.He started small—street fights, illegal betting rings, and protection money. But he wasn't hungry for money.He was hungry for control.People said he fought like he had nothing to lose.But they were wrong.He had something to gain.Everything. The First BloodIn the underground world of iron smuggling, there ruled a brutal man named Rathore—a crime lord who owned half the illegal mines across the region.Nobody challenged Rathore.Until one night…Armaan walked into his warehouse.Alone.Fifty men stood inside.One walked out.Armaan.Word spread like wildfire."Who is he?""Where did he come from?""Why isn't he afraid?"But fear?Fear was for those who had something to protect.Armaan had buried that long ago. The Bigger GameWhat Armaan didn't know…Was that Rathore was just a puppet?Above him was a hidden empire.An underground gold mine called…"Zarakh."A place so secret, even the government feared it.And the real king of Zarakh?A name whispered like a curse.SULTAN MIRZA.The man who built an empire on blood.🩶 Ending Scene SuspenseLate night.Armaan sits alone in a dark room.A man enters, trembling."Mirza knows about you."Silence.Then the man continues:"He doesn't want to kill you…"Armaan slowly lifts his eyes."He wants to meet you."Thunder cracks.Armaan stands.A slight smile appears for the first time."Then tell him…"He picks up a bullet from the table."I'm coming."
