John dialed Mike on the car. Mike on the other side immediately picked up as if he was expecting the call.

“Young master , I am sorry ,I have let you down.”

John could sense self blame and remorse on Mike’s voice .It warmed his heart instantly. He smiled and said for the first time after he met Mike ,

“Uncle Mike , don’t worry ,you have tried your best. What I need you to do is clearance to a nearby computer server .I need to do something.”

Mike who was always a calm guy felt like crying for the first after several centuries .He expected John to scold him but instead he was called him uncle .He was always secretly jealous of Peter but today he was in cloud nine.

When one really recognizes you for your hard work and trust, you feel happiness beyond words. For Mike coming from the mouth of his young master that he had tried his best was virtually giving him the highest price in the world .

“Thank you young master . When you reach a nearby server just tell your name to the security guy. I will make sure that you will be free to use the server however you want.”

John simply didn’t have time for idle talk. He disconnected the call and directly drove to the nearby computer server.

As expected he was allowed in the moment he told his name. Before he found a computer system , John had informed security guy to lock the server room form outside and requested him to stop anyone who would try to enter.

‘It’s time to test my knowledge on hacking . Hope it will work.’

John’s hand moved in a lightning speed , the display in front of him turned into unreadable codes which was changing one after another. To his surprise he didn’t have to do much effort in writing the codes. Everything came to him naturally.

Inside Luke’s Office,

Jaden was busy doing some paper work .Dara was walking to and fro in the office talking with someone. Dara disconnected the call and looked at Jaden with a rare smile.

“Jaden , we have finally found the real brain behind the NGO. Our guess was right ,it was none other than John we met the first day.”

Jaden slammed his table hard and laughed “Finally ,after hundreds of years, we have a solid lead. Lets go get him before anyone does.”

Just when they were prepared to make preparation their mobile phones ,computers started to blur …..

*****

Somewhere in Africa,

Road was jammed with vehicles half burnt , smoke and dust filled the entire area . A child was slowly walking on the streets with a tow in his hand looking for his parents .There were half mutilated bodies everywhere with blood flowing like river on the streets.

Police officers were running everywhere to identify the bodies and rescue those who were injured . Suddenly everyone’s phone rang at the same time . Everyone became confused .When they picked up the phone ,they were astonished to find that their phones started to blur…….

Same thing happened everywhere in the world. Every phone ,every computer was getting blurred for unknown reason. Powerful countries thought it was cyber attack and started using their own hackers to bring back normalcy but unfortunately ,all their efforts were in vain .

The knowledge obtained by John was so vast and deep that all his peers were like children to him . He could easily handle all the attempts made by different countries to stop his hack .

He could feel that he was invincible when it came to hacking. One could even call him ‘God of hacking.’

John didn’t waste anytime playing around . He wore a headphone and adjusted his computer camera before saying,

“Hello everyone ,my name is John and I am the person behind the NGO Value for life. I know some of you might be wondering what I am doing . I just wanted to confess that I am responsible for the terrorist attacks that is currently happening all around the world. Don’t misunderstand me .I am not telling, I am the mastermind of terrorism but reason behind terrorist attacks…”

Jaden and many other influential people across the world who were from moon and light schools didn’t expect that situation. They were desperate to stop the broadcasting but they were unable to do so. They could cut off power supply in few public places but they had no control over individual mobile phones.

After several attempts to stop the broadcast they finally gave up. But they didn’t give up on microchip , everyone knew if they could find the place where John was broadcasting then they could get what they want before he ascends to higher realm. So ,cars started , planes and helicopters took off .Everyone’s destination was the city John lived.

John continued his speech “ I am not flattering myself whether you believe it or not it is true. The reason being my NGO and its work to change the educational system in our society. We are almost succeeded but terrorists are afraid that if this goes on, people would live a happy life free from fear and insecurities.

They want to control your emotions by creating terror and instill fear. In fact they have succeeded in their effort . Look around you and ask yourself ,don’t you feel that way? We consider our self as puppets and give the control of our emotions to outsiders .

What’s the point of fighting for independence , liberty, right to free speech if we can’t even control our emotions when it truly mattered. I am aware that you have lost your mother ,father ,sister and even your only child but so does everyone around you .

You can choose despair and irrational behaviors without bottom line or provide each other support , share your neighbors burden and show compassion to people around you. It is all up to you but the only difference is, in case of former you are doing exactly what a terrorist want you to do but in case of latter , you show to the entire world that how strong you really can be.

I am not saying fear , despair , helplessness are sins . They are very much part of our life just like happiness, sympathy ,love. But we have a choice to choose what we want to experience, we should not let others dictate how we want to feel . Let us resist terror not by anger and revenge but by love and compassion.

Even if we lost people close to us ,we have people around us .Love and compassion doesn’t care whether it is our family or others and it is not a zero sum game. Instead more you give ,more you receive. If we want to beat terror there is no other choice but to unite our self even stronger and show our Will to the terrorists that we are one big family and we won’t stop caring for each other just because they want us to .”

Millions of people across the world listened to the broadcast with utmost interest . It was like a rain on a dried up land . In the middle of despair and frustration they felt like they found a savior who reached his hand to pull them out of hell.

When the broadcast ended ,they couldn’t help but smile at the blurring screen. Many terrorists who were in the middle of attacking heard deafening sounds not that of bullets but claps. People who were earlier drowned in sorrow ,lifted their heads up and looked around to save people in need. Even people who were not hit by attacks ,started creating groups to provide monetary aid .

Some people from moon and light school were also moved by John’s speech . But they quickly recovered and their faces started twisting .They knew that all their earlier effort would be wasted if John ascends to Devata realm .If they couldn’t catch him this time they never will.

John finally disconnected the call and laid back on the chair . He knew with his current resources that it was the best he could do. He didn’t have any regret anymore . He silently waited for the effects to show itself .

Even after waiting an hour he didn’t hear a single notification from Eva. On the other hand he could hear noises from the outside . There were all sorts of vehicles surrounding his location. He knew at that time that it was over for him .

He could hear gun shots and opening of the door he was currently in. He looked into display one last time but there was no change whatsoever. His heart started beating fast , his hands became all sweaty and his face lost all color. He regretted at that time that he didn’t say good bye to his family.

Many people entered his room hastily .When they finally saw John standing near a computer with a look of anxiety they knew it was him . They were internally rejoicing ‘Finally we got him . It was so close .’

Jaden and Dara were leading the pack . They had a cheerful expression on their face .Many people hugged each other and already started crying “Finally we can go home.”
