Chapter 453 Anand goes Berserk
"Hello, Anand!" A voice finally appeared from the phone. "Hold your heart. I am feeling very sad to inform you of this..."
"Stop this bullshit; just come to the point. I don't have the whole day." He shouted as the grip on his phone tightened, resulting in small cracks on the phone. His other hand pulled his hair in frustration.
"Your son has passed away. He entered with a seven-man raid team, but only his friend managed to escape. Who is also on the verge of death. We have sealed the area but still don't know what happened inside." '
'Smash' The phone hit the ground, smashing into pieces. "Liars, all liars—how dare they say something like that? How can something like that happen to my son? I selected capable bodyguards to protect him. How can none of them manage to escape?"
His heartbeat rose as he took a few deep breaths. "They want to believe me that only one boy managed to escape, and that was not my son. Let me talk with a high-ranking elder; he would not lie to me."
"I will make sure to pull back their tongues once I make sure my son is safe," he said as he asked the guard for his phone.
Meanwhile, Rishi could be seen still conversing with the two other guys. They both were three-star beast cultivators, so they had endless things to talk about.
They were impressed by Rishi's knowledge and unique way of solving problems; they felt they could learn much from him.
"What do you think about the evolution of the Blaze Bear? Do you think there is a way to increase the success rate of this evolutionary path? "Asked the brown-beard man.
"I believe it could be done by using the flame core at the beginning and constantly feeding it ember leave.." Before he could complete it, a man charged at him.
The flowerpot and the bottles on the table fell down. The others looked at the scene, curious about what was happening. They saw a man in his late forties holding a teenage boy by the collar.
"What's the meaning of this, Mr. Anand?" said the boy as he looked at the man before him, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
"Still acting innocent, Bastard, you killed my son, right? You could have attacked me if you had feuded with me; why did you go for that innocent boy?" said the man, as tears burst out of his eyes.
His grip tightened as he started choking the boy. "Why would I do something like that, Mr. Anand? I thought we were friends." said the boy.
"You always treated us as your enemies. I don't care about the reason; all I know is that I will not let you leave this place alive. You thought you could escape after doing that to my son," he shouted at him.
"Anand, stop; you will kill him. What happened to your son? said the man beside him, pulling his hand back.
The brown-bearded man also caught him from behind. "Wasn't he with us all the time? How could he have done it? First of all, tell us what happened.
"Amar went to raid the dungeon today with his team, but I just, I just..." His voice started shaking. "I just received the news that he had passed away."
The guard appeared and separated them. Rishi touched his neck, on which marks could still be seen. What he did next surprised everyone. He apologized to Anand and hugged him. "I know what it feels like to lose someone close to you. It's my fault; I should not have sat at the same table with you."
"Maybe it was because of my bad luck that such an unfortunate thing happened to your son," he said, his eyes becoming misty before tears started falling. Everyone who heard it felt bad for him; they also realized that you can't always trust rumors.
It made previous recollections about him being a cold and apathetic person seem like lies framed to tarnish his reputation. Unknowingly, a soft corner appeared in everyone's heart for him.
Many girls wanted to comfort him when they saw him in this state, not because he looked cute while acting like others his age for the first time. His acting was enough to make a grown man cry.
When he opened his right eye a little to look at the situation, noticing the sympathetic gazes he received from other people. It looks like I am doing great. Tears started flowing out of his eyes.
He had come prepared, 'If you can't change your pathetic past, make sure to use it as a useful tool to get sympathy occasionally.'
"You don't have to apologize, Rishi; it's not your fault. It seems like Anand has become mad after hearing the news about his son." said the brown-beard man as he pulled Anand back.
Anand released a loud roar before launching a powerful punch at Rishi. "You can fool others by acting innocuous, but not me."
Rishi fell on the tables behind him, 'crash' the table, which broke by the impact. He coughed some blood, and the guards used force and held Anand in his place forcefully.
People rushed and helped Rishi. He stood up slowly this time and said in a high tone, "I can understand the pain you are feeling right now. However, you can't disrespect me like that. I am done here; I will wait for the explanation from the Tiwari clan," he said before turning around and leaving.
"You can't go anywhere, bastard," screamed Anand in his lungs. "You believe you can escape by hiring assassins; I will investigate the place. You will pay for what you did."
'Do whatever you want; I will do whatever I want. By the way, I heard you also have a daughter, which you have hidden from everyone.' A cold voice appeared inside his head that sent shivers down his spine.
When he looked at the back of the boy leaving, he halted on his track, turned for a moment, and winked at Anand with a smirk on his face.
"Youu," Anand screamed in fury. He realized his burst power and threw the guards holding him back. They never expected him to react like this after he had calmed down. He was about to launch an attack on Rishi when the guard attacked him to hold him back.
Fueled by his anger, he went berserk. This was his class; he was fighting against guards, trying to close up to Rishi, who was escaping.
It was then that 'tick' a small sound appeared in his heart. He faced the backlash and coughed up blood. Multiple attacks launched by guards landed on him, which made him faint. Everyone was surprised when they saw that.
Guards rushed and tried to check his condition. Things took place so fast that no one could process what was happening. Most of them thought Anand had gone crazy after losing his son.
No one suspected Rishi, as he was present with them, and he was just a kid who didn't even have any support. Hiring an Assassin who could invade the Tiwari clan's territory and escape without anyone noticing was not something everyone could afford.
