Chapter 214 - Conference (2/2)
”Sure, it is your call,” said Number 6. ”You called for the meeting.”
”I agree,” said both Bruce and Evelyn.
”I am going ahead with it,” said number 9.
A second later, they were all paired with one another and their videos shown to the others. It was simple for the rest of them except number three who was paired with number 8.
Bhagvat was calmly seated in a room as he replaced Parvati as Number 8. Looking at the projections, he realised that these were all security measures among the ShadowCard. He was happy as the same allowed him to keep his own identity hidden. Parvati had informed him that one of the commanders were introducing his heir. This was good news to him. He understood a bit about ShadowCard commanders. They considered their identity very important. So, he believed that under no circ.u.mstance, any of the commanders would ask him to project actual video.
He had made a few inquiries from Bharat about the protocols used by the commanders. Though, he had initially refused to comply, Bharat answered Bhagvat's questions under pain of torture. When Bhagvat learned from Parvati that her identity was compromised, he paid Bharat another visit, to ask about any methods that Bruce might employ to fight against him. That was the reason, he had Parvati attend the meeting at first. Only when multiple commanders commented that one of them was introducing a possible heir, he came into view as he thought that he wouldn't need to participate much.
He only hoped to say something in a perfunctory manner and make others believe as he had done before. While he was under such a belief, the sudden request to some greeting occurred and before he could respond, they invoked it and he was able to see another commander's actual video feed while all other communications from the room were disabled by the system.
Luckily. the other commander could distinguish him from his brother Bharat. Being brothers, it was a simple task for him to modify his features to be similar to Bharat and the other commander couldn't realize the difference. He greeted him casually while joking about number 9 being a bit too strict and overexcited about this as he was young.
Bhagvat realized that he could get to know about all the commanders if he played this right. He had tried to get information from his brother, Bharat for a long time and only managed to get a very little amount. The only commander he learned of was Bruce and he felt that this was a good chance to have a look at all of the others. The commander in front of him was the first one apart from Bruce whose actual face, he got to see.
As he was happy and responded in a similar manner that the young would find be so and that he would also soon change, an unexpected thing happened. The video suddenly got cut and he was informed by the system that he was currently kicked out of the conference. The next second another message came up telling him that he is being suspected of being against the organization and that it is best he stays in place so that they could send someone to confirm his situation.
”Damn it!” shouted Bhagvat as he kicked his chair back in anger. It was clear to him that others also doubted him, and the entire conversation was to confirm his identity. ”Get my brother out of his cell. We need to make plans to move,” he said to Parvati as he got out of the conference room.
”Was it, Bruce?” asked Parvati. ”How sure are they? They aren't ones to blindly believe him and he couldn't have informed all others. You did say that he would be suspicious of the others.”
”I don't know,” yelled Bhagvat in anger. He had been working for a long time to infiltrate and replace his brother. He worked for Bharat for a long time in secret. He even lost his identity and the alliance considered him dead and would arrest him for impersonating a dead man if he was caught by the law enforcers. ”There was some protocol which he didn't inform me of. We need to be ready to move. Send someone to get him out. We are not done with my brother, yet. If I fail to be a commander, I will me make sure he isn't.”
”Yes, father,” said Parvati as she called someone instructing them to get Bharat out of jail.
