I Breathe Euro

"Hello Sir, You can call me anytime, anywhere. I am also the manager here, so here's my card. Morgan gave Jack a business card; from his accent, he seemed to be American.

"Alright, I think I will need you around here, Morgan, for a while," Jack said, and then Heinrich took him to the inner chambers of the yacht.

"This will be your bedroom. Nice, isn't it?" Heinrich asked; he was fascinated by the yacht.

"It's great, but tell me honestly—why did your father give me this?" Jack knew that nothing in life comes without a price. If something appears to be free, it's often the most expensive thing of all.

"Well, my father gave it to you because the Shepherd contacted him. It's a bit of a complicated story. One of the Shepherds reached out to my father since it was the closest yacht available for you," Heinrich said with a shrug.

"Who the hell is Shepherd?" Jack asked.

"Well, I told you about 11 Horseman, right?" Heinrich asked.

"Yes, I've heard of them from you," Jack said.

"Every Horseman has ten Shepherds they control; the Shepherds always control everything according to the Horseman's will. Like previous COVID-19, it was first executed by a Chinese Shepherd," Heinrich said while seated on the bed.

"So, you're saying I am on the list of one such person?" Jack asked; he was intrigued by these Horsemen and Shepherd.

"Yes, shepherds aren't always wealthy. They're usually individuals capable of influencing large groups of people," Heinrich explained.

"So, I have to be careful?" Jack asked.

"Yes, if one Shepherd takes an interest and you offend him, the other nine under the same Horseman will take offense as well. Sometimes, even the Horseman himself gets angry," Heinrich said, his voice tinged with frustration.

Experience tales at empire

"Sigh!! Alright, let's deal one at a time," Jack said, and then he walked out of the yacht; Heinrich also followed Jack.

"Look, Asani is here." Heinrich looked at the entourage that was coming directly at them.

Asani directly came with lots of security, and three of them went inside the yacht and sat at the meeting table.

"I hope the money is ready?" Asani asked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yes, the money is ready. Where are the papers?" Heinrich asked as he didn't see the papers in Asani's hand.

"Well, there's a problem with the boy. The Dev Swami wants to meet him, and if he agrees, then I can sell the island," Asani said. He was angry because he needed the money as soon as possible.

"Who's Dev Swami?" Heinrich asked, although he can guess who.

"Shepherd, he's from Bihar. He is too old to travel; otherwise, he would've been here. He is interested in the boy," Asani said.

"What if I don't meet him?" Jack asked.

"Well, Boy, then you can forget about buying anything in India," Asani said with a smile.

"Then, let's hurry. If he wants to meet me, let's go." Jack said he wanted to finish this nonsense as soon as possible.

"Well, my plane is ready to fly to Patna. Let's go and finish this," Asani said. He has a private plane, and he didn't want to waste any time.

"Alright, I've no objections," Jack nodded his head.

Heinrich, nodding his head, got up from the chair. Three of them took a car to the airport; the private jet that was waiting for them was a Cessna Citation Mustang.

Jack didn't mind anything; he was getting angry because someone else was deciding for him.

"Boy, don't offend that person no matter what," Asani said, as Heinrich called Jack 'Boy,' so Asani copied.

"I understand," Jack said, his voice steady and calm. "Don't worry about it. I need that island more than you think." His gaze drifted across the horizon, eyes narrowing as he imagined the vast potential of the place. The ideal location, the pristine environment, and the expansive size of the island—everything about it was perfect. It was exactly what he had been searching for, a place to build his vision, far beyond anyone's expectations.

It didn't even take three hours for them to arrive at Patna. Patna was a city not that grand as Mumbai, but it's not bad.

"We're going to Rajgir; look there," Asani pointed at a helicopter that was coming towards them.

"Are we taking the helicopter?" Heinrich asked.

"Yes, the palace is quite far," Asani said with a sigh, glancing at the fading light. "It's already evening, and we'll have to wait until morning. Dev Swami Sir won't be meeting anyone now; it's against his routine." He paused for a moment, as if reflecting on the long journey ahead. "We'll find a place to rest for the night and head there first thing in the morning. It's the only option, really." His tone was firm.

"Let me talk to the helicopter driver," Asani said this and went towards the helicopter and was talking to him.

"Uncle, this Dev Swami seemed to be a very dangerous guy," Jack said while he was looking at Asani, who was talking with the helicopter driver.

"Yes, he's a shepherd; you'll know when you see him," Heinrich said.

"Alright, the helicopter driver would drop us at the Patna Marriott Hotel. Let's go," Asani said.

Jack and Heinrich looked at each other, then, nodding their heads, went inside the helicopter. Heinrich was feeling uncomfortable for unknown reasons.

As they landed on the hotel's roof, the manager was waiting for them, as Asani was a CIP, and Asani has power almost everywhere in India.

"Sir, welcome. As you've said, we've booked two rooms for you," the manager said while greeting Asani.

As Jack and Heinrich went down and heard about two rooms, they were first shocked, then thought maybe Asani had other plans.

"Yes, yes, two normal rooms would be perfect for the three of us," Asani said.

Jack and Heinrich didn't say anything as they were going downstairs with the elevator, but after coming down, they called Asani on the side.

"Why did you book two rooms?" Jack asked.

"You guys are father-in-law and son-in-law. I thought you'd be sleeping in the same bed," Asani said while making a face like, Is this even a question?
