Chapter 60 : Let's bet twenty thousand crores!
Chapter 60 : Let's bet twenty thousand crores!
After successfully muting the Ember from nosing in the matters between him and the Shetty family… Das turned his focus on to the Shetty family patriarch.
"Mr. Shetty, You family only control thirty percent of the black market… whereas the Reddy family own more than fifty percent market. Then how is this Blood Duel being a fair challenge without putting on equal stakes." Das questioned while staring directly the Shetty family patriarch.
Even though the Reddy family patriarch thought of this issue… he agreed to the challenge because it is related to their family prestige. But Das is not going to do the same mistake.
Shetty family is the one who came up with this challenge… so, Das has every chance to question their proposal.
The Shetty family patriarch got perplexed with the direct question from Das. He can't back down or rebuke Das as all the guests were watching at him with scrutinising gaze.
"Haha… boy, do even qualify to ask this question?... The Reddy family already accepted this challenge. So, they can't argue for the equal stakes after accepting the challenge." The second brother of the Shetty family replied tactically.
Das looked back at the old man to see his reaction. The old man nodded his head confirming the Shetty family claim. Das though for a moment before deciding on a crucial decision.
"Mr. Shetty, I'm not related to the Reddy family. Even if the Reddy family win or lose in this Blood Duel... I won't gain anything. So, if you want me to participate in this Blood Duel… you have to accept my challenge in return. Is it Ok for you...?"
Das questioned with a loud voice… so that every one could hear him clearly. Ember started laughing loudly after listening to Das question… and everyone fallowed her.
Even the family members of the Reddy family started laughing along with the Shetty brother of the Shetty family started insulting Das in front of the all the guests.
family. But Das stood there silently with a determined look.
"Haha… boy, you really have guts to talk like this. But I really like your bravery… tell me what is your challenge?" The second brother of the Shetty family asked with a laughing tone.
Das can see the loud mockery in his voice… but without caring about the people laughing... Das put forward his challenge.
"Mr. Shetty, I want to place a personal bet as stake in this blood duel. Do you agree to this?" Das asked calmly without getting agitated with the Shetty family mockery.
"What you wanna place bet against my family? Do you even know my family wealth… Haha, tell me how much you wanna bet? One crore?... two crores…?" The third brother of the Shetty family started insulting Das in front of the all the guests.
More people started laughing and Richard also made some funny comments after listening to silly request of Das. Ember also used this to make some scornful comments. Even the Reddy family old man did not understand the actual motive of Das.
"Brat, I'm accepting to your challenge… tell me how much want to bet?..." The Shetty family patriarch questioned while looking down on Das.
"How much is your family wealth…?" Das asked back with mocking smile.
Now he holds the situation as the Shetty family agreed to his challenge… the Shetty family stumbled on the same hole… they prepared for the Reddy family.
"You don't need to worry… My family net worth is more than twenty thousand crores… Say the number… How much you wanna bet…?" The second brother of the Shetty family replied satirically.
Twenty thousand crores… twenty thousand crores… what the…!!!
People got perplexed after listening to the net worth of the Shetty family... which almost equal with the Reddy family who is controlling this city from the last two hundred years.
"Then my bet is twenty thousand crores… Do you dare to bet Mr. Shetty!?..." Das questioned with a taunting look.
"Are you insane...?" Ember is the first one to react after listening to Das. She almost trickery."
lost her balance on the stage… all the guests were staring at Das with their eyes wide open. They did not understand how to react.
"Patriarch, he is just speaking nonsense to avoid the Blood Duel..." The third brother of the Shetty family spoke loudly.
Most of the people felt the same opinion as they can't imagine a teenager holding twenty thousand crores. The Shetty family patriarch observed Das for a long time before replying to Das challenge.
"I know that you are just bluffing. But you are not going to escape this Blood Duel with trickery."
"Next week, the Abdullah family will conduct the peace meeting before the Blood Duel. If you can bring twenty thousand crores at that time… I will gladly accept your bet." The patriarch replied with a calm face.
"Brat even if you can't bring the money… you have to participate in this blood duel." The second brother of the Reddy family said with an evil laugh.
"Shetty, I think you are done here. Leave my family now…" The Reddy family patriarch spoke while gnashing his teeth.
The Shetty family slowly left with the mob while laughing happily as they finally achieved their goal. It is definitely a great move to take revenge against the Reddy family.
Ironically, the guests also slowly left the Reddy family villa without waiting for the dinner. The Reddy family old man sat dazedly while thinking about the consequences of this blood duel.
Ember also left with the security of the chief minister without saying a single word to the Reddy family. Reddy family patriarch took all the family members inside the villa. Only Luna left outside with Das.
"Das, don't participate in this challenge." Luna said as she held his hand.
"Luna, don't worry about me… I know how to deal with this." Das replied with an assuring tone.
"Das, what should we do with this food… Everyone left without even touching the food." Luna asked worriedly.
Das came out of his thoughts about the Blood Duel… after listening to the Luna's question about the food. He knows exactly what to do with the food.
"Don't worry… ask Rao to load the food into a truck." Das said with a smiling face.
