Rose Convenience Store

"Petter: I want to buy this."

Shopkeeper: "Yeah, sure. Your bill is ₹1000. What would you prefer, sir—card or cash?"

Petter: "Card, please."

Shopkeeper: "Sure!"

(Petter's phone starts ringing…)

Ring! Ring!

Petter: "Hello?"

Annu: "Honey, when will you come back home? It's already 7:30 PM."

Petter: "Yeah, sorry. I'm on my way. Is the baby asleep?"

Annu: "Yes, the baby is asleep."

Petter: "Okay, I'll be home soon."

(Call ends)

Petter: "How long are you guys planning to follow me? Come out. I have to go home."

Man: "As expected from an Ikshvaku Clan member…"

Man: "So, you are the Monster of the Ikshvaku Clan."

Man: "Your clan paid us to kill you and your wife because you betrayed them for that woman."

Man: "But there's also a mysterious man who paid a large amount to wipe out the Ikshvaku Clan."

Man: "We've already killed your clan members. You are the only one remaining… and you will die today!"

Petter: "So, finally they've made their move… just as I expected."

Man: "Let me introduce ourselves. We are Phantom!"

Petter: "Oh, I've heard about a killer organization called 'Phantom' that kills people for money… Do you really think you can kill me?"

Narrator: After those words, Petter moved instantly and threw a punch at the man who was speaking—killing him on the spot.

All the members of Phantom were shocked.

Petter didn't stop there—he killed nearly 13 members of Phantom one after another.

Phantom Member: "What kind of monster is he?!"

Phantom Member: "He killed 13 of our men in a minute!"

Phantom Member: "How are we supposed to hunt down this monster?!"

Petter: "Kids… did you really think you could hunt me down?"

Petter: "Do you even know the name the underworld has given me?"

Man: "We don't know… but we do know we can't kill you."

Man: "We are only here to distract you so our executive can kill your wife!"

Petter: "How dare you… DIE!"

Narrator: Around 150 members came to hunt Petter… but none of them survived.

Petter: "Annu, pick up the call… Please, pick up!"

At Home…

Ring! Ring!

(Someone knocks on the door…)

Annu: "Coming! Honey, are you home?"

(Door opens…)
