"Shetty, what about the separate force we prepared for this bloody duel?" The old woman asked again with a serious face.

"Madam, as you said, I kept a thousand fighters away from the city in a secret place. No one will know about them until the blood duel." The Shetty family patriarch explained with a happy smile.

A satisfied smile appeared on the old woman's face after hearing his reply.

"Shetty, aren't you losing a lot of profits because of these arrangements? You promised major business to the Shadow organisation and spent a large sum on hiring a larger number of fighters than the Reddy family."

"You also need to pay a heavy sum to the spies and the high-level fighter we placed in the Reddy family training centre. How are you going to bear all this? In the end, you will only gain pitiful profits." The old woman asked with a curious expression while staring at the face of the Shetty family patriarch.

"Hmmhh... who cares about the profit?!... I'm only interested in taking revenge. First, I will deal with this Reddy family, and after that, I will crush the Patel family with my own hands."

"Because of that Patel family bitch, I lost my own son and a brother. The fire in my heart won't die down until I kill that bitch with my own hands." The Shetty family patriarch replied in a serious tone.

The old woman just laughed at his words and left the room. After hearing his response, she felt that the Shetty family is just a dried grass waiting for its demise. That's why she decided to make her own plans to gain more benefits through this blood duel.

Without caring about the old woman's nonchalant behaviour, the Shetty family patriarch turned towards his brother and started explaining to him what to do in the next two days.

Next day… Early morning…

 The excitement of the blood duel did not let him sleep peacefully. He woke up earlier than usual and started getting ready for the trip.

Why are you going early?" Stella asked him with a hand gesture.

"There is a fighting competition in two days. I need to go to the training centre early." Das said casually while brushing his teeth.

"Is it important...?" Stella gestured with her hands.

"Yeah, super important. I might lose my life if I'm not careful during the competition." Das said with a playful smile. But Stella took his words seriously. She went to the hall, picked up a notebook, and started writing in a hurried pace.

After fifteen minutes, Das came out of the rest room with a towel around his waist. He quickly got ready in ten minutes and picked up the car key. Stella stopped him at the main gate.

"What?!..." Das asked her before kissing the baby. Stella passed him a note and gestured for him to bring those things. Das opened the letter and skimmed the list of items.

 Das felt surprised after reading those item names. Because they are not groceries or luxury items. Das didn't even know some of the items in the list.

"Why do you need ostrich feathers?" Das asked with a confused face. Stella just laughed at his question and walked inside with the baby on her shoulder.

Das twitched his lips and hoped inside the car. Before starting his journey, Das took a picture of the paper given to him by Stella and sent it to Sana. He requested her to gather those things by the afternoon.

After that, he went directly to the training centre without stopping anywhere in the middle. As he had reached the training centre a lot earlier, he did not find many people in the corridor. He first went near the notice board in the main hall to check his position in the formation.

On the wall, a big map showing a picture of a concave-shaped moon with two pointy ends on both sides is hung with the help of two nails. The entire crescent-shaped moon picture is filled with small circles with a number at the centre.

In the middle of the formation, people were arranged in twenty uniform lines, and slowly the number reduced along the curve, with only twenty people at the pointy end.

Below the map, they pasted the names of the fighters, and their positions are depicted with a serial number coinciding with the number on the map.

Even after checking the names list for ten minutes, Das did not find his number. He continued to go through every list below the map. Finally, after twenty minutes, he found his name on the last page. Das compared his serial number with the number on the map.

"WTF?!!!!... Who put me on the last row?" Das muttered in a surprised tone. After checking his position one more time, Das took the elevator and directly reached the top floor to meet Master Li, the strategist hired by the Reddy family.

By the time he reached the central hall of the top floor, Master Li sat before a round table while enjoying his morning coffee and playing with the small human toys on the table.

"Haha… Das, you are too early." Master Li commented after seeing Das.

"Why do you place me in the last row? Do you think I'm not capable?" Instead of greeting Li, Das directly questioned him with a disappointed face.

Master Li first finished his last sip of coffee and placed it on the round table before replying,

"Das, calm down. I'm not the one who placed you in the last row." Master Li replied in a leisurely tone.

"Then who did it? Is it Master Finn?" Das asked with a little bit of rage.

"Nooo… Madam Ruth requested that I place you on the last row. Even though I tried to deny her request, she insisted on placing you in the last row." Master Li replied with a straight face.

"You are lying!..." Das muttered in a daze after hearing Master Li's reply.
