Location: Shiva's Bungalow (Living Hall)
"A Delhi Tour? I'm in!" Jaxson Reed sprang up from his seat, his face lit with the raw excitement of an ordinary tourist.
Jin-Woo Park nodded in agreement. "I've heard Chandni Chowk and its street food are legendary. Let's go get lost in the crowds. That's where the real India is."
Seeing their enthusiasm, the children—Kabir and Kiara—began jumping with joy. "We want to go too! We want to go!" Kiara chirped, tugging at Rudra's hand. Rudra, whose survivalist mind usually loathed crowded, chaotic spaces, let his guard down before Kiara's innocence and offered a rare, faint smile. The rest of the family quickly warmed to the idea of a classic Delhi outing.
But in the center of the hall, Adiraj's mind was operating on a different plane. There was no excitement in the eyes of the Garud Vajra Master—only cold, tactical calculation.
"No. We are not going to any public market or crowded space," Adiraj's sharp, steady voice cut through the room, drawing everyone's attention.
"Why not, brother? What's the problem?" Shiva asked, leaning back casually on the sofa.
Adiraj took a breath and laid out the logic. "Shiva, use your head. We have 15 foreign guests whose physical presence and auras are naturally distinct. Add you and me—leaders of the top guilds. If we step into a public market, we'll have a mob within thirty minutes. Traffic will be paralyzed, and the risk of a panic-driven stampede is too high."
Adiraj gestured toward the grandparents and the kids. "More importantly, the pollution, noise, and chaos of Delhi aren't suitable for them. Within two hours, everyone will be physically drained. This tour shouldn't be a punishment; it should be a luxury."
Vikram Singh, Adiraj's tactical anchor, immediately agreed. "Adiraj is right. S-Rankers in a public crowd is a security nightmare. Family comfort must come first."
The Sovereign's Flex
Shiva listened to Adiraj and Vikram, a bold, carefree smile spreading across his face. He stood up, looking entirely unbothered.
"Fair points. But why deal with crowds when we own the Asura Guild?" Shiva waved his hand dismissively. "My guild is spending nearly 1500 to 2000 Crore Rupees daily on the city-wide feast. For a private family tour, our budget is literally unlimited. Why go to street food when we can book the entire palace?"
The family was used to Shiva and Adiraj's immense wealth and power, so the flex didn't surprise them. But for the foreign Sovereigns, this was a new level of Indian hospitality.
Shiva placed his tablet on the center table and activated a holographic map. "Tell me, where to? We'll go to places where the entire property is ours. Zero public interference."
The Mega Brainstorming
Mason Steele, playing his role as a high-profile CEO perfectly, leaned back with a chill tone. "If we're going private, I want to see India's Royal culture. Somewhere quiet, with ancient architecture and absolute luxury."
"We want extreme environments and open skies!" Jaxson and Alistair demanded simultaneously.
Adiraj pulled the tablet toward him. His 'Hyper-Cognitive' intellect took exactly two minutes to finalize a master route.
"Listen to the plan," Adiraj briefed the room. "The tour will last 2.5 days so we can land back in Delhi by the evening of December 3rd. We need time to prepare for Shiva's grand party on the 4th."
He marked three locations on the map:
Stop 1 (This Afternoon): Udaipur, Rajasthan. A private Lake-side Palace. Royal treatment for the elders and architecture for Mason.
Stop 2 (Tomorrow Morning): Uttarakhand. A private jungle in Jim Corbett and Tehri Lake for open spaces and water sports.
Stop 3 (Day After Morning): Himachal Pradesh. An isolated Snow-Estate. The kids want to see snow, and the silence will be relaxing for everyone.
"Won't travel waste all our time?" Kritika asked worriedly. For a normal person, visiting three states in two days seemed physically impossible.
Shiva laughed. "Didi, we aren't taking commercial flights. We're using the Asura Guild's 'Garuda' Supersonic Stealth Jets. Travel time to any location is just 30 to 40 minutes, and the cabins have zero-gravity dampeners. The elders won't feel a single bump or any fatigue."
The S-Rankers' Secret Relief
Hearing the plan, Mason, Jon, Genevieve, and the other Apex members exchanged subtle, relieved smiles.
Adiraj and Shiva had intentionally chosen 'Isolated Private Zones.' This meant the 15 S-Rankers wouldn't have to keep their physical auras suppressed to 100% at all times. Without the public around, they could jump over palace walls or sprint through the snow using their original speed and reflexes. This tour was going to be a hidden playground for them.
The Execution & The Convoy
"Plan finalized," Pooja announced with strict authority. As the emotional head of the house, her word was final. "Everyone has exactly one hour to pack. And remember, we won't have time to do laundry there, so pack properly."
The family and the S-Rankers scattered to their rooms. Aaryan, the Head Diplomat, immediately pulled out his phone to issue orders to Guild Management.
"The Lake Palace in Udaipur, the eco-resort in Corbett, and the Snow Estate in Mashobra... seal and book all three for the next two days. No budget limit. Ready the Garuda Stealth Transports at the Guild HQ helipad," Aaryan instructed sharply.
By 12:35 PM, the group stood outside the bungalow with light luggage. The scene outside no longer looked like a family trip. On Shiva's order, a massive, intimidating convoy waited. Twelve Z-Black, heavily armored luxury SUVs were lined up, with Asura Guild elite guards standing at alert.
Since private jets couldn't land in a residential area, the group would travel in the armored convoy to the Asura Guild Headquarters and take off from the private runway.
Mason looked at the armored fleet and the elite guards, a chill smile on his face. He knew Shiva's influence and wealth rivaled that of a small nation's Prime Minister.
"Shall we?" Shiva asked, donning his black jacket.
Rudra slung Kiara's small bag over his shoulder and moved toward the vehicles. The world's most dangerous people were now ready for India's most luxurious and private journey.
