Chapter 58 : Ember's decision
The Shetty family came with great momentum. If they turn back without getting any compensation, the Shetty family will become the laughing stock of Mumbai city. So, they did not back down even after listening to Ember.
But what the Shetty family don't know was,.... the chief minister's daughter is also on their side. If something bad happens to the Reddy family because of this incident, the entire blame goes to Luna. So, Ember wants to use this opportunity to blame Luna, thereby satisfying her ego.
The guests who came to attend the party are watching this family war more curiously. They were eagerly waiting for the conclusion of this war.
"What do you want for compensation?... money or business… tell me. I will throw anything you want." The Reddy family patriarch replied with a loud smirk. Finally the patriarch asked important question for which the Shetty family came prepared.
"Michael, do you think I lack money or business. Don't forget that my family wealth is not a single coin less than yours." The Shetty family patriarch replied with serious face.
"Then do you want my granddaughter life as a compensation?..." The Reddy family old man asked with an angry tone. Das can clearly see the raze on old man face.
"Mr. Shetty even though your son got a beating… he is still alive. So, stop thinking about taking anyone's life." Ember, who is eagerly waiting like movie heroine to deliver her dialogue… made that comment immediately after the old man.
"Miss, Ember my Shetty family is not cruel family to ask for peoples lives. We came here to challenge the Reddy family. Except for the challenge… we are not going to cause any loss on your engagement party." The second brother of the Shetty family patriarch replied with a stern tone.
All people inside the party got confused after listening to this statement. Who would bring a large mob… just to deliver challenge...?
While the guests and the Reddy family patriarch looking confusedly at the Shetty family… only the old man of the Reddy family got startled after listening to word challenge. Because he understood what Shetty family was talking about.
"What challenge?... " The chief minister daughter Ember, asked with a confused face.
"Every one… please listen carefully. The Shetty family is officially challenging the Reddy family for a Blood Duel. Michael, if you are a real man, accept this challenge." The patriarch of the Shetty family shouted loudly with a proud face.
"What!!!... Blood Duel!!!...."
One of the guests who came to attend the party blurted out with an astonished tone after listening the Shetty family patriarch.
"That's insane…" the other person beside him muttered. Except for few old people no one understood what type of a challenge is it.
"Father, what is Blood Duel?..." Richard asked the Reddy family patriarch who stood with a strange face after listening to the Blood duel.
"Shetty, are you sure about it?... Blood duel is not just a simple matter…?" The patriarch asked for confirmation as he completely ignored Richard's question.
"Father-in-law what is blood duel?..." Ember asked with a curious look after seeing the serious reaction of the patriarch.
"Blood Duel is nothing but war… the two challenging families will gather their best men and fight at a designated place during one particular date set by the moderator. The losing family has to give up their rights on the black market of the entire city."
"That include smuggling, brothels, antique market, Liquor business and several other important business deals." The patriarch explained with a serious face. Das felt baffled after listening to the description of Blood Duel.
"During the blood duel… no weapons or outside support is allowed. The two family forces has to fight with bear hands". The patriarch added before Ember asked another stupid question.
A loud murmuring started among the guests after finding about the Blood Duel. The black market is not just an income source… It will decide the fate of large families who are controlling this city.
"Haha… Michael… why are you not saying anything?... Are you afraid?..." The patriarch of the Shetty family started taunting after seeing the nervous expressions of the Reddy family patriarch and his family members.
"Shetty, do you think I'm a fool… At present I have full control over this city and you lost forty percent of your supporters in the last few days. Why would I agree to your idiotic challenge?..." The Patriarch said with a proud face.
"Haha… I thought the Reddy family patriarch is a courageous man, but you are acting like timid cat even after having an upper hand against my family." The Shetty family patriarch continued his taunting.
But the Reddy family patriarch did not get agitated… he turned his face towards his father to know about his opinion. The old man gestured him to refuse this challenge at any cost.
"Father-in-law why are backing down. Accept their challenge… we will prove them who is boss of this city." Ember cried out with loud tone.
She only cared about her proud image as a chief minister daughter and forgot that the entire future of the Reddy family is depend on this decision. The guests also were eagerly looking forward to the decision of the Reddy family patriarch.
The last Blood Duel was occurred more than fifty years ago… so most of these people were curious to see an out and out war between these two large families.
The patriarch ignored Ember's yelling and continued to discuss about consequences of the blood duel with his father. Das also thinking about the in and out of this sudden challenge from the Shetty family.
Ember got really upset as the patriarch is completely ignored her. On a sudden impulse she announced a shocking news the Reddy family.
"Father-in-law, my engagement with your son is only valid if you agree to this Blood Duel challenge… otherwise, I'm not going to be your family member." Ember directly dropped a bomb on Reddy family who are in big dilemma after receiving an insane challenge from the Shetty family.
But the strange thing is the Shetty family got more shocked after listening to her decision. They did not understand why this brainless child is suddenly supporting their family.
