The venue hall was suffocatingly tense. No one dared to move after Ekaksh's command. His word was law, and only fools would challenge it. Yet, arrogance blinded some-men who betrayed their wives through one-night stands or indulged in red-light district pleasures, and women who sold their dignity for a taste of luxury. And now, these same people had the audacity to slander Misthi? The hypocrisy was astounding. Some whispered in fear, already regretting their loose tongues.

A sudden shift in the air silenced them as all eyes turned toward Ekaksh. He walked in with an aura of absolute authority, his cold, rage-filled eyes cutting through the crowd like a blade. Beside him, Shivank, Abhimanyu, Vidyut and Ruhi matched his intensity, their postures exuding a dangerous presence that made the onlookers tense.
