🪖 Chapter 47: The One They Thought Was Gone

---

Location: Black Site – Interrogation Room

Viren's voice cracked with disbelief.

> "Three hours. Just three hours... and you mobilized an entire squad?"

> "You think I don't know how the system works? You need clearances from high command. You need access, authorizations, logistics—"

> "How the hell did you pull this off!?"

He was no longer smirking — just stunned.

Abdul didn't flinch.

He stepped closer, voice calm — like a man who already knew the end of this story.

> "Some people… need permission to act. Some follow orders, wait for signals, get chained by protocol."

> "But some men…"

He stared straight into Viren's soul.

> "Some men are order."

---

> "You want to know who approved this? I'll tell you."

> "Everyone says he retired. That he disappeared."

He paused.

> "But above me… above all of us…"

> "There's only one man." "The Supreme Head."

🎖️ Scene Cut: The Island – Helicopter Landing Zone

The dust storm from the choppers hadn't settled yet.

Soldiers, lean and fierce, stepped out with perfect formation — weapons tight, eyes sharper.

Suddenly, some among them moved into position — taking defensive stance.

Each movement was clean. Practiced. Dangerous.

Then — the final chopper door opened slowly.

Out stepped a man.

---

👣 He didn't rush.

He didn't need to.

He wore a faded military jacket — the kind only legends keep.

It hung casually off one shoulder, but the uniform beneath was covered with decades of service badges.

He was in his 50s — graying hair, sharp jaw, thick boots.

He didn't walk.

> He arrived.

The teachers froze.

Krishnan whispered, voice shaking:

> "He's alive…"

> "That's… the Demon King. AK."

📍 Scene Cut: Interrogation Room

Viren was watching the screen.

His lips trembled.

> "Impossible…

He's dead. He died with his squad—no one survived that ambush—"

Abdul cut him off:

> "Do you really believe a peasant general could kill the Demon King?"

"He didn't die. He just… stepped aside."

> "But when his nation called again—"

> "He answered."

📍 Scene Cut: Island – Near the Bunker

The enemy soldiers — about to reach the bunker — were tense.

Something in the air felt wrong.

Like the island itself was holding its breath.

Then — out of nowhere — BAZUKA FIRE.

💥💥💥

Explosions tore through the enemy's front lines.

Dust. Fire. Screams.

Chaos.

From within the flames, a figure walked forward.

Coat flying.

Eyes glowing.

A cigar in his hand.

> It wasn't a soldier.

It wasn't a man.

> It was the Demon King — returned from the ashes of a forgotten war.

🎙️ Narrator Voice:

Legends don't retire.

They just wait for the right moment to rise again.

And now, at the edge of defeat, the three teachers stood no longer alone.

Because he had come.

> And hell was about to follow.
