Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: The Cost of War

Desert Research Facility — Core Level

The timer hit zero.

⏳ 00:00

And then—

everything went wrong.

💥 The Lockdown

BOOM.

Metal doors slammed shut.

Red lights turned darker.

Alarms screamed louder.

The glass chamber sealed completely.

No exit.

No sound from inside.

Just fear.

Rahul panicked instantly—

"THIS WAS A BAD DECISION! I REPEAT—VERY BAD!"

Aryan shouted—

"I BLAME EVERYONE!"

Riya—

"Shut up and move!"

Because chaos had officially begun.

⚡ SYSTEM — COMBAT MODE

🔔 [SYSTEM ACTIVATED]

🔥 Mode: SURVIVAL WAR

Objectives: → Break the lockdown

→ Save hostages

→ Defeat enemy forces

Warning: → Casualties expected

That last line—

stayed.

Because this time—

someone might not walk out.

⚔️ The Attack Begins

Hidden panels opened.

Armed guards flooded the corridor.

Fast.

Precise.

Relentless.

Sumit moved first.

No hesitation.

Punch.

Kick.

Disarm.

Arjun beside him.

Matching speed.

Matching intensity.

Two brothers.

Same blood.

Same fight.

Rahul ducked behind a wall—

"I support violence morally, not physically!"

Kabir dragged him—

"Congratulations, you're participating!"

Aryan tried to fight—

missed—

almost hit himself—

"I need training!"

Riya shot back—

"You need common sense!"

Even in war—

chaos remained loyal.

😨 Emotional Loss — Kabir Falls

Amid the fight—

a shot rang out.

Sharp.

Loud.

Final.

Kabir froze.

Then—

fell.

Silence hit differently.

Rahul turned—

"…Kabir?"

No answer.

Blood spreading.

Slow.

Real.

Aryan stepped back—

"No… no no…"

Riya dropped to her knees beside him.

Hands shaking.

"Stay with me!"

Kabir tried to smile.

Even now.

"Guess… I'm not… funny anymore…"

Rahul's voice broke—

"Shut up! You're not going anywhere!"

But everyone knew.

Some fights—

take something you can't replace.

Kabir whispered softly—

"Don't… let him win…"

And then—

silence.

Real silence.

The kind that doesn't go away.

💔 The Breaking Moment

Everything stopped.

For a second.

Sumit looked at Kabir.

At the blood.

At the cost.

Something inside him—

snapped.

Not rage.

Not anger.

Something deeper.

Loss.

Sangita held his arm.

Tightly.

"Don't lose yourself."

Because she could see it—

that dangerous edge.

He closed his eyes.

Just one second.

Then opened them.

Different.

🔥 Sumit's Transformation

Calm.

Cold.

Focused.

"No more games."

His voice—

quiet.

But terrifying.

Arjun stepped beside him.

"Finally."

Rahul wiped his eyes.

"…Now I'm scared of our own team."

Aryan whispered—

"This is the main character upgrade."

Even Vikram's screens flickered again.

Watching.

Always watching.

😈 Vikram's Cruel Truth

His voice echoed—

"This is the cost of war."

A pause.

Cold.

"Your father learned it too late."

Silence.

Heavy.

Burning.

Sumit stepped forward.

Looked directly at the screen.

"No."

A pause.

Stronger.

"I learned it in time."

❤️ Emotional Core — Love Holds the Line

Amid everything—

Sangita stood beside him.

Closer than ever.

She whispered—

"We finish this."

He nodded.

"Together."

Because now—

this wasn't just revenge.

This was for Kabir.

For family.

For everything lost.

🔥 FINAL LINE

The war had taken its first life.

The cost had become real.

And Sumit Roy—

was no longer fighting to win.

He was fighting

to make sure no one else died. 👑🔥💔😈
