For Being A Hooligan

There were turbulent waves hidden in the man's noble eyes. The half-melted ice collided with the waves in Gaurav's deep eyes.

He was thin and tall. When he spoke, he only lowered his eyes slightly. "It was your right hand, right?"

"What?" Although Tapas Pratap was angry, he couldn't help but answer Gaurav's question.

Under that man's aura, it was as if all resistance was futile.

"You grabbed Isha's hand just now," Gaurav repeated as if it was a trivial matter.

"Yes." Tapas Pratap had nothing to hide.

"Break two of your fingers yourself and I can pretend this never happened."

Tapas Pratap stood up angrily. "Is there something wrong with your brain? What does Isha have to do with you? Listen carefully, Gaurav. You're just a business partner of ours. You still have to watch your behavior around me! Do you think you're the world's police? My father is timid and listens to you, but I don't have to! If you like to cut people's fingers so much, why don't you cut yours off?"

When Gaurav heard him, he didn't bother to argue. He reached out and slowly picked up his dagger. He turned around and walked away slowly. His footsteps seemed comfortable as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

Tapas Pratap was stunned. His curses seemed to have been completely ineffective.

'What... What's going on?'

He watched Gaurav leave.

Could Gaurav really be a man who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside? Was his usual aura just an act?

......

Tapas Pratap was in a daze when his phone rang. The urgent ringtone spread quickly through the air. He picked it up impatiently.

"Hello, what is it?"

Yash Pratap sounded a little anxious. "Tapas, what did you do to offend Gaurav? Are you out of your mind? I told you to get along with him. What did you do?"

"What did I do? What exactly happened?"

"He's divesting!" Yash Pratap was so anxious that his voice was out of tune. "He's withdrawing everything!"

Tapas Pratap was also stunned. "So be it! I don't want to serve him anymore!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! If he withdraws, how can Tapas Corporation open? You have to know that Gaurav alone owns more than half of the 40% shares of Pratap Group that we own! If he doesn't have us, he can find anyone else to work with! But if we don't have him, we won't be able to find anyone else! How can we open a company then?!" Yash Pratap's words almost shattered Tapas Pratap's eardrums through the phone.

Tapas Pratap's hand slowly fell from his ear.

It turned out that he had really underestimated Gaurav!

It turned out that he did have the right to order him around!

"Tapas Pratap, are you still listening? I order you to apologize to Gaurav immediately and salvage this matter! Otherwise, our family will lose everything and sleep on the streets!"

Even though he had already held the phone far away, Yash Pratap's voice was too fierce and loud. These words still entered Tapas Pratap's ears.

The words hit his eardrums, making his mind buzz.

Outside, there were still a lot of guests and investors waiting to attend the founding ceremony of Tapas Corporation.

And now, Tapas Pratap was having a difficult battle.

There was no time to think about the relationship between Gaurav and Isha Sharma, nor could he probe deeper. Tapas Pratap only had one choice now, which was to apologize to Gaurav and complete what Gaurav had just instructed him to do.

If he didn't do this, everything he had would come to nothing today...

Tapas Pratap gritted his teeth and hung up on Yash Pratap.

He made a video call to Gaurav.

The phone rang, each ring destroying his nerves.

He gripped the phone. The call was about to end, and his nerves were at peak tension before Gaurav finally answered.

Gaurav's noble face was still calm as if nothing had happened.

After Tapas Pratap picked up the call, he gritted his teeth and said, "Gaurav, I'm sorry. I apologize for my rude attitude just now."

"Really?" Gaurav said lazily.

"I apologize to you sincerely." Tapas Pratap had no choice but to restrain his temper. "Please give me a chance. I was anxious just now and didn't care about your feelings. Please don't take it to heart."

"Aren't you and your father a little too naive? If you anger me, do you think that saying a simple apology like this will make me change my mind? Then isn't my anger too unworthy? Do you think I lack apologies?"

Tapas Pratap : "..."

He had to say, "Just tell me how you want me to apologize to you."

He fiercely suppressed the ruthlessness in his eyes, not letting his true emotions show.

In the future, when he was standing in a high position, Gaurav and Shivam Pratap would be at his mercy.

Gaurav smiled. "Didn't I just tell you how you should apologize?"

Tapas Pratap held his breath. Gaurav was referring to what he had just said. 'Break two of your fingers yourself and I can pretend this never happened.'

Two fingers...

Fingers...

Tapas Pratap's breathing quickened.

Gaurav placed his phone on the table and slowly poured out a cup of tea. "Since you're feeling troubled, I won't waste your time. I'm going to drink tea now. Goodbye."

"Wait!" Tapas Pratap hurriedly stopped Gaurav and said, "I'll do as you say!"

Gaurav smiled and picked up his teacup, gently inhaling the fragrance with an intoxicated expression.

Tapas Pratap gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. He got his bodyguard to retrieve the dagger.

But he could not bring himself to do it.

Across from him, Gaurav was still sipping his tea at a leisurely pace. When he had enough of the aroma, he picked up his cup and took a sip. He carefully savored the essence of that tea.

Tapas Pratap really could not bear to do this. He asked his bodyguards to come over and do it. He instructed them to hold down his hand and strike.

The bodyguards did not dare to do so. However, after being scolded by Tapas Pratap, they had no choice but to make a move.

Gaurav sipped his tea, his attention attracted by the scenery outside the window. The bustling capital was filled with traffic. At this moment, the lights had just been lit, and neon lights filled the sky. This was the most luxurious scene in the world.

The sound of traffic and the hubbub of voices reached his ears from afar.

Suddenly, from the other side of the phone, a shrill cry disturbed the moment.

Gaurav turned around. The image on the phone screen was a striking red.

.......

Isha returned from the bathroom and quickly returned to her seat.

Although she had no problem defeating Tapas Pratap, she knew in her heart that if Tapas Pratap had called over many bodyguards, something would have happened.

'I was a little careless. I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom alone.'

Seeing that she didn't look too good, Jio quickly asked, "Isha, are you okay?"

'I'm fine, I'm fine. I just had a little trouble.'

"Ah? What trouble? I should have gone along with you. What happened?"

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. Tapas Pratap tried to poach me to his company. I refused."

"He didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Jio was nervous.

"He doesn't have the time or the guts to do anything on such an occasion today." Thinking of this, Isha finally calmed down. Tapas Pratap indeed didn't have the time to do anything to her today.

And he would never have that chance again.

However, when she thought about how he had pinched her wrist, Isha still felt a little disgust. She took out a tissue and wiped the nonexistent stain on her wrist.

The people at the side were discussing in low voices. "Don't you know that Tapas Corporation also has the capital injection of Havan Investment? Havan Investment has always been an excellent investment company overseas. It earns money from whatever it invests in. So this time, Tapas Corporation will definitely succeed."

"With the establishment of the Tapas Corporation, Pratap Group will be in trouble. I really didn't expect the pair of father and son to fight like this."

"What's there to be surprised about? Kareena killed her best friend's family. This matter can't be washed away, right? Kareena's son is definitely not a good person. Yash Pratap probably doesn't want to live with such a mother and son, so he became independent."

"In that case, Yash Pratap's actions are understandable? I heard that Shina is a mistress, but it seems that Shina and Yash Pratap didn't do anything wrong, right? If I were Yash Pratap, I would also be afraid of those people around me."

"No matter what, I'm very optimistic about the future development of Tapas Corporation. With Gaurav's investment, I have to get my hands on Tapas Corporation's shares as soon as possible."

"Take me with you. Count me in."

"A chance like this won't come again! Count me in too. You guys can buy more shares. I'll just buy a few."

Isha pursed her lips helplessly when she heard Gaurav's name being mentioned.

As she was thinking, Jio pulled her arm and said, "Look, Tapas Pratap is here! Compared to Mr. Pratap, Tapas Pratap is really much worse. However, he's indeed very handsome among ordinary people. Perhaps it's because Shina's genes are not bad."

Seeing Tapas Pratap, Isha's wrist felt a little uncomfortable. However, when she thought about how she had punched him, she felt that they were even.

Unfortunately, she was too anxious at that time. That punch should have been aimed directly at his face for daring to act like a hooligan with her.

With this thought in mind, Isha looked at Tapas Pratap and realized that his face seemed to be a little swollen. It seemed that he had really been punched.

However, perhaps because he had always looked bloated, Isha didn't pay much attention to his appearance. She couldn't tell if he was born like that or if he had been punched.

Jio added, "Isha, look, Tapas Pratap seems to be injured. It looks like he's seriously injured."

Hearing this, Isha took another look. This time, she realized that Tapas Pratap's right hand was wrapped in gauze, and there seemed to be blood on it.

This was strange. It had only been half an hour since Isha came out of the bathroom, but Tapas Pratap was suddenly injured?

And he was so badly hurt?

"It's really unlucky for him to be injured like this on such a good day. I heard from my mother and the others that the entire company will be in trouble if he's injured at such a time," Jio said as she observed.

"Serves you right," Isha said softly. This was probably the lesson someone like Tapas Pratap deserved.

She reached out and pulled Jio to sit down. "Don't shout. Do you want to be kicked out?"

Jio quickly sat down. "I haven't seen such a lively scene in a long time. I want to continue watching."

Yash Pratap and Shina were with Tapas Pratap. The two of them had just found out about Tapas Pratap's injured hand.

Knowing that it was because of Gaurav, the couple were angry and heartbroken. However, seeing that the ceremony was about to begin and that they would miss the auspicious time if they delayed it, they could not ask too much. They could only come out and meet everyone first.

Isha stared at Tapas Pratap's injury and wondered what was wrong with him.

Yash Pratap and Shina walked out together with calm expressions.

Tinki also went forward with a smile.

Everyone below the stage looked at the family of four enviously. The congratulatory words were endless.

Some elders also said softly, "It seems that Kareena is indeed too outrageous. After Yash Pratap lost her as his wife, his entire life has developed in a very positive and healthy direction."

"Yes, that's true. Tinki and Tapas Pratap are also outstanding. I can tell that this family is developing well. Although they can't compare to Pratap Group, who says they can't create another Pratap Group?"

Yash Pratap and Shina heard these words and smiled even brighter.

Yash Pratap was originally considered outstanding in the Pratap family, but he was far inferior to Old Master Pratap. Later on, he was far inferior to Shivam. His pride was attacked by two generations of people.

Only at this moment could he feel proud.

As for Shina's identity as a mistress, it was a secret that could not be revealed to the public. She had never dared to announce it to the public, but there were still many criticisms in the industry.

This time, by dealing a blow to Kareena and establishing Tapas Corporation, the couple could finally make a comeback.

It would probably not be difficult to announce their marriage to the public.

The family could finally put their identities in public.

Although Shipra and Yami did not follow them onto the stage, they felt honored.

Half of the audience were people who were on good terms with Yash Pratap and his wife, while the other half were people who did not care about how things developed. The atmosphere was very lively.

Isha and Jio watched the show while Jio chattered.

Yash Pratap raised his glass.

The discussions below the stage slowly stopped as they waited for him to speak.

"Everyone, thank you for taking the time to attend the founding ceremony of Tapas Corporation. As everyone knows, although Tapas Corporation has just been established, its predecessor, the Yash Corporation, has been established in T Country for a long time and its performance is obvious."
