Chapter 35: Chapter 35 : Guardian

"My name is Lanner. I'm the princess of the Aries family, which is a hidden family controlling the Europe region. The Aries animal inside your body is the weapon spirit of my family heirloom, and the bow in my hands is the heirloom of my family." n(.OvelbIn

Even though she is slowly losing consciousness, the lady continued to talk in a stuttering voice.

"A few days ago, there was an internal strife in my family, and I escaped from my family members and also took the family heirloom along with me. For the survival of this baby, I hid from the world. But somehow they found out my location and sent people to kill me."

Das moved closer to her as her voice was slowly fading into the air. Even though she is losing her life, there is no regret or sadness on her face. Das was amazed at her willpower, as she is still talking even after losing her consciousness.

"At present, my uncle is controlling the position of a patriarch in my family. His son Luis is the one who is sending people after me. Until they kill my baby, they won't stop sending people. As they won't find any future troubles after killing both my daughter and me."

"Das, you don't need to protect the baby for her entire life. One day, her father, Reynold, will definitely come to take revenge on my family. At that time, hand over my daughter to him."

After talking about the father of that baby, she stopped talking as she completely lost her life force. Das, who was calmly listening to her words, lost track of what was happening around him. He sat before the lady's lifeless body with eyes full of tear drops.

The lady's face became pale with the loss of blood. Her lips turned purple, indicating the poison effect.

Das, Stood there motionless for a long time. Even though the lady explained several things about her origin and family, Das still had more questions. After controlling the raging emotions, Das stood up and took the baby into his hands. In this heartbreaking situation, the giggling of this small child gave big relief to his mind.

After checking the cave completely, Das took the backpack of that woman, which contained her personal things, clothes for the baby, a large amount of money, and a small purse in the front pocket. Das inspected the broken bow and found out that the bow is completely made up of different material. He decided to take the bow along with him.

After coming out of the cave with the baby on his shoulder, a broken bow in his right hand, and a backpack, Das completely sealed the cave entrance. He used several large boulders to completely fill the cave entrance. After making sure that no one was going to find this cave, Das started walking towards the forest entrance with the help of a mobile torch.

During the mid-night, in a small forest at the centre of the city, Das was walking hurriedly with the help of a mobile torch while carrying a baby on his left shoulder and a broken bow on his right hand.

The baby was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. In that silent forest, between the screeching sounds of insects, the rhythmic breathing of that small baby on his shoulder gave a blissful feeling to his mind. With a countless question in his brain, Das walked forward without taking a moment of rest.

Suddenly, Das stopped in his tracks. Not because anyone was obstructing him. He found out that his eye sight is slowly improving. He started to see everything clearly, even in those pitch-black surroundings.

Das switched off the mobile torch and observed his surroundings with his naked eye. He saw every single thing as bright as day. After thinking for a long time, he thought about the Aries spirit inside his body.

"Haaa... let's go. Maybe it's because of that mountain goat in my body. I better hurry as there is a chance that the persons related to the mob may come searching for the baby."

Das again started walking without using the mobile torch, as the path was clearly visible to his naked eye. After reaching the forest entrance, where he parked his Enfield, Das immediately started the bike as he placed the baby on the front tank with the help of a silk cloth.

The baby woke up to the sound of the Enfield engine, but she started giggling after seeing the nervous face of Das. Das did not understand why this baby was not crying even when she placed it on the Enfield tank, which is super uncomfortable for a baby as the vibrations from the engine will cause continuous disturbance.

After thinking for a long time, Das finally decided to take the baby to the villa in the filmy town. The villa was gifted, along with a key card, by the old man from the Reddy family. He actually thought of living in that villa after completing the graduation. But the present situation forced him towards that villa.

After continuously travelling for an hour, Das reached the villa area. In between, he stopped at a supermarket to buy the essential things like water, food, a mobile charger, and other things. At that time, he properly covered the baby with the silk cloth so that no one could see the baby's face.

After reaching the villa, he used the key card to open the main gate. The villa is a large building situated in a half-acre area with a thick artificial forest surrounding it. There is no other building except the main house at the centre. Das directly drove the bike to the house entrance.

Without checking anything, he directly entered in side the house using his key card. Das placed the sleeping baby in the bedroom, and he went to take a shower as his body was smelling human blood.

After coming out of the shower, Das checked his mobile. There are thirty-three missed calls from seven different people. Out of those seven, three are unknown. While ignoring everyone, Das first called John, as he was the one who called him most of the time.

Just after picking up the call, John started cursing with a loud voice. Das can hear the rage in his voice.

"Das, where in hell do you even go? ... Do you know how many people asked for you tonight? even boss Martin asked for you? ... where the fuck are you? And why did you ignore my fucking calls every time? ..." The John kept on yelling questions without giving Das a chance to answer his questions.

After a moment of silence, Das started answering John's questions.

"John, my health is not good, and I went for a checkup in the hospital. I'm sorry, I forgot to take the phone with me." Das said without fretting.

As Das used the unavoidable excuse, John immediately lowered his voice.

"What happened?... Are you okay now?" John asked with a concerning tone.

"I'm good. It's just a small ailment. The doctor said I don't need to worry." Das said another lie to cover the first one.

"It's ok. Take a good rest. I will manage boss, Martin." John said before disconnecting the call.

Aside from John, Luna also called him. But this is not an appropriate time to call her. Aside from her, the school flower, Sheela, and Amy also gave a call to him. Das decided to call them tomorrow. The remaining numbers are all unknown. So Das directly ignored them.

Later, Das opened the instant noodle pack and cooked them on the electric stove in the kitchen section. Strangely, Das did not switch on a single light inside the house. As he is seeing everything clearly in the daylight, he forgot to switch on the lights.

Das quickly finished eating the noodles and laid down on the bed beside the baby. The thoughts of today's matters did not allow him to sleep peacefully. Even after trying for two hours, his restless mind did not allow him to sleep.

With a boring sound, he picked up the backpack that he had brought from the cave. After checking everything, he took out the small purse from the front pocket of the backpack. Inside that small purse, ten black-coloured cards were neatly placed.

Das took out one card to observe closely. The entire card was fully black in colour without any letters on it. There is a small symbol of a golden skull depicted in the right-side corner of the card.

As he observed the card closely, Das remembered the words of that lady. She mentioned about ten ghost cards with ten billion American dollars in each card. Das eyes immediately lit up after recognising the use of this card. But the sad thing is, he doesn't know where to cash out this card.

"Wahh... in total the value of these card is hundred billion... that means ten thousand crores of American dollars." (:-})
