Gangsters:Rise To The Top

Chapter 79: The Warning



Scene 1 – Aftermath of the Fight

Dibrugarh Academy – Courtyard (11:10 AM)

The dust had settled. The Red Vultures were gone. Some limped away, others were carried. Scar-face was still unconscious on the ground.

Kai stretched. "That was fun. When's the next round?"

Ishu sighed. "We don't need 'rounds.' We need to focus."

Mri, sitting on a broken bench, wiped the blood from his knuckles. "It's not over. That was just the small fry."

Aamon's expression was serious. "They'll be back. And next time, it won't just be a bunch of idiots rushing us."

Suddenly—

> A slow clap echoed through the courtyard.

The four turned.

A figure stood near the school gate, watching them.

Tall. Dark coat. White gloves. A faint scar under his left eye.

He smirked. "Not bad. That was quite the show."

Mri narrowed his eyes. "Who the hell are you?"

The man took a few steps forward. His voice was calm, almost amused.

"I'm just an observer. But you should be careful. You made some powerful enemies today."

Kai crossed his arms. "Yeah? And who are they?"

The man's smirk widened. "The Twin Monarchs."

Silence.

Ishu's eyes sharpened. "You mean… the leaders of the two biggest gangs in Dibrugarh?"

The man nodded. "You pissed off one of their divisions today. They won't take that lightly."

Aamon stepped forward. "So? Let them come."

The man chuckled. "Ah… youthful arrogance. I like that. But trust me, when the Twin Monarchs move, it's not just 'a fight.'"

Mri stood up. "Then tell them to bring it."

The man raised an eyebrow. "Interesting."

Then he turned to leave. "One last thing."

He glanced over his shoulder.

"They already know about you. And they're watching."

Then—he was gone.

Scene 2 – Meeting the Monarchs

Unknown Location – A Few Hours Later

A dark room. Dim lights flickered.

Two people sat on opposite thrones.

On the left—Rehan Roy. Leader of the Red Vultures. A gang with nine divisions, each with 300 members.

On the right—Yashveer Sinha. Leader of the The Black Serpens. A gang with twelve divisions, each with 350 members.

Between them—the beaten body of Scar-face.

Aditya exhaled. "One guy took down an entire division?"

Rehan smirked. "Not one. Three."

Aditya leaned forward. "Names?"

A figure in a hooded jacket stepped out from the shadows. "Ishaan 'Ishu' Pegu. Kongkan 'Kai' Pegu. And… Mriganko 'Mri' Doley."

Aditya's fingers tapped the armrest. "Doley, huh? I've heard that name before."

Rehan laughed. "Does it matter? What's important is that they declared war on us today."

Aditya cracked his knuckles. "Then let's welcome them properly."

Rehan smirked. "Agreed."

> The hunt had begun.

Scene 3 – The Warning Hits Home

Dibrugarh Academy – Boys' Dormitory (8:00 PM)

Mri, Ishu, Kai, and Aamon were in their shared dorm room. The place was a mess. Books, clothes, and old snacks were scattered everywhere.

Kai lay on the bed, tossing a cricket ball into the air. "So, what now?"

Ishu was sitting at the desk, deep in thought. "We wait. They'll make their move soon."

Aamon leaned against the wall. "We should strike first."

Mri was silent.

Then—

> BZZZT.

His phone buzzed.

A message.

From an unknown number.

> [You shouldn't have messed with us.]

[You won't live to regret it.]

Mri stared at the screen. His grip on the phone tightened.

Kai peeked over. "Ooo, we're getting death threats now? We're moving up in the world."

Ishu sighed. "This isn't a joke, Kai."

Aamon cracked his knuckles. "I say we hunt them down first."

Mri didn't say anything. He just typed back—

> [Try me.]

And hit send.

Ishu's eyes widened. "Mri—"

Mri smirked. "If they're coming, let's give them a reason to be scared."

Aamon grinned. "I like that."

Kai chuckled. "Well, this is gonna be fun."

Ishu shook his head. "You guys are crazy."

Then—

> BANG!

A loud noise from outside.

They rushed to the window.

> Flames.

> Their dormitory gate was on fire.

Aamon gritted his teeth. "Those bastards."

Ishu exhaled. "Guess they made the first move."

Mri clenched his fists. "Then let's answer them."

> War had officially begun.
