Chapter 65 - Chapter 65:Black Punisher Arc (12)

Episode Start Seven Months Later — Japan

Seven months later...

In one of Japan's cities, Ansh stood in front of a large building.

He was dressed in a black coat and black pants, his eyes carrying the same confident expression as always.

Ansh looked at the building and said,

"So this is the last building."

The moment he said that, a large number of people suddenly came running out of the building toward him.

Ansh stretched both his arms and casually said,

"Alright... let's finish this one too."

SWOOSH!

Ansh summoned a machete and immediately took a fighting stance.

But...

All of those people simply ran past Ansh without stopping.

Ansh remained silent for a few seconds as he watched them flee.

Then he shouted in Japanese,

"Hey! At least fight me!"

One of the men stopped for a moment and shouted back in Japanese,

"Fighting you is worse than quitting this whole job! We don't want to die!"

With that, he ran away as well.

Ansh stared at him for a few seconds.

Then he laughed.

"Man... they ran away without even fighting."

Just then, Umang came running from behind.

Ansh looked at her.

"Where were you?"

Umang casually replied,

"Nowhere. I was just taking care of another location."

Ansh gave a slight smile.

Then the two of them entered the building.

Inside the Building

The moment they stepped inside...

CLICK!

All the lights in the building suddenly went out.

Darkness covered the entire place.

Standing in the darkness, Ansh said,

"What do they think? That they can escape from me just by turning off the lights?"

Umang started laughing.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly—

FLASH!

Red lights illuminated the entire building.

A crimson glow spread everywhere.

The people inside looked around in shock.

"What is this?! Where did these red lights come from?!"

Then—

WHOOSH!

Ansh suddenly appeared right in front of them.

His machete was firmly in his hand.

Looking at them, Ansh said,

"So you're the group that refuses to listen."

Without giving them any warning, Ansh immediately attacked.

SWOOSH!

Several people charged toward Ansh, trying to attack him.

But Ansh was far faster than all of them.

SLASH! SLASH!

Within moments, Ansh had defeated them all.

Blood stained his black coat.

The remaining people saw this and immediately started running away.

Ansh watched them flee.

Then he calmly said,

"Shove."

BOOOOM!

A powerful blast erupted, and the fleeing enemies were taken down instantly.

A short while later, Umang arrived.

Looking at Ansh, she said,

"Was it really necessary to use Shove on them from every direction?"

Ansh casually replied,

"Yes."

Umang shook her head.

"You really are something..."

The two continued clearing the remaining floors of the building.

Finally...

They reached the top floor.

There, they found a man standing beside a window.

Ansh looked at him and said,

"So you're their leader? Then it's your turn to die."

The leader looked terrified.

He said,

"Instead of dying brutally at your hands, I'd rather kill myself!"

With that, he jumped out of the window.

Ansh looked down through the window.

Then he calmly said,

"Shove."

BOOOOM!

The man exploded in mid-air.

Drops of blood fell toward the ground below.

Ansh turned toward Umang.

"Come on. Aren't we supposed to leave today?"

Umang replied,

"Oh, right!"

The two of them jumped straight from the building and landed below.

They got into their car and headed directly toward the airport.

After reaching the airport, Ansh and Umang stepped out of the car.

They began walking toward the airport entrance.

But suddenly, Ansh stopped.

He turned around.

Behind them stood thousands of people.

All of them had their heads lowered.

They were silently saying goodbye to the two of them.

Ansh looked at them and said,

"Take care of this place now."

With those words, Ansh and Umang entered the airport.

Some time later...

Ansh and Umang finally arrived in India.

As soon as they came out of the airport, they saw Ayush and several other people waiting for them.

Ansh looked at Ayush and said,

"Hey, how did you know I was coming today? And where is everyone else? Where are Mayank and Yash?"

Ayush had a serious expression on his face.

"Ansh, come with me for now. I'll tell you everything."

Both Ansh and Umang were confused.

They followed Ayush and got into his car.

For a while, there was complete silence inside the car.

Then Ayush finally spoke.

"Ansh... you trusted the wrong person."

Ansh became even more confused.

"Trusted? Who did I trust?"

Ayush answered directly,

"Mayank."

Ansh immediately asked,

"Why? Did something happen to Mayank?!"

Ayush replied,

"No. Nothing happened to him... but because of him, a lot has happened to this country."

Ansh's confusion only grew.

"What? What do you mean?"

Just then, the car stopped.

Ansh looked outside.

They had stopped in front of a very old, damaged, and abandoned place.

Everyone got out of the car.

Umang looked at Ayush in confusion.

"Why did you bring us here?"

Ayush replied,

"We live here now."

Umang was shocked.

"But... why?!"

Ayush didn't answer.

Instead, he led both of them inside.

Inside, six or seven people were already sitting there.

Ansh looked around at everyone.

"What is going on?"

Ayush spoke in a serious voice.

"Ansh... one wrong decision and one wrong person you trusted have shaken this entire country."

Ansh was stunned.

Ayush continued,

"Mayank didn't create this team to take down the Underworld."

Ansh remained silent.

Ayush then said,

"He created this team to become the biggest gangster himself."

Ansh's eyes widened.

"What?!"

Ayush continued,

"Mayank had already planned all of this with Yash. And the man we thought was Yash... wasn't actually Yash."

Ansh asked,

"Then what is his real name?"

Ayush answered,

"His real name is... Red Hunter."

Ansh was completely shocked upon hearing the name.

"Red Hunter?! You mean that Hunter who once killed many people and then suddenly disappeared?"

Ayush gave a serious nod.

"Yes. He is that same Red Hunter."

Then Ayush began explaining everything.

"Mayank and Red Hunter turned the Black Hunters into the biggest gangster organization in India."

"As soon as you left, Mayank first eliminated everyone who opposed him or was jealous of him. After getting rid of all of them, the rest of the Black Hunters became afraid of him... and slowly, they all joined his side."

Ansh silently listened.

Ayush continued,

"After that, Mayank eliminated the Underworld's Number 4, Vikram Rana, and took his position."

"He committed countless terrible acts across India. Then, together with Red Hunter, he eliminated the Underworld's Number 3, Number 2... and finally, Number 1."

Ansh's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ayush continued,

"And after taking their positions, Mayank became the most brutal Hunter to ever emerge."

Ayush paused for a few seconds.

Then he said,

"And he was given a new name... The Monkey."

Ansh quietly repeated,

"The Monkey..."

Then he asked,

"Then why didn't Aditya do anything?"

Ayush answered,

"By the time Aditya understood what was happening, Mayank had already become extremely powerful."

"Aditya even formed a team of powerful Hunters to take him down."

Ayush looked directly at Ansh.

"But Mayank defeated all of them by himself."

Ansh immediately asked,

"Then why didn't you do anything?"

Ayush remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he said,

"Ansh... before you left for Japan, you told me not to do anything until you returned."

"That's why I kept hiding and stayed out of it all this time."

Ansh's expression changed.

He felt terrible.

For a few moments, he remained silent.

Then he said,

"This problem was created because of me..."

Ansh clenched his fist.

"I'll be the one to end it too."

He looked at Ayush.

"Just arrange a meeting with Mayank tomorrow."

Ayush gave a serious nod.

"Alright."

Ansh said nothing more.

A deep silence filled the room.
