Shreya sat back on her chair leisurely just as she did the last time she was here. The chief had a sense of déjà vu seeing Shreya like this..

Last time the meeting ended with such a sour note that the Prime Minister went on rage just after making everybody's lives around him miserable.

And now, seeing Shreya here again, he can already imagine the colorful days ahead of them. He is really second-guessing his initial suggestion of introducing these two tyrants to each other now. Especially given how headstrong Shreya is.. She absolutely refuses to play ball.

It hard for a personality like hers to be liked by someone like The Prime Minister who is equally headstrong.

The chief of the intelligence agency sat there stiffy looking at the two having a staring match.

At last, Shreya lost her patience and asked the question, "Look, I returned Abishek without a scratch on his skin.. what more do you want now?"

"Are you going to do what I want if I told you?" The Prime Minister asked arching his eyebrows.

Shreya smirked sarcastically before refusing him bluntly, "Of course not. It was already my goodwill that I actually sent him back after the stunt you pulled that morning with sending your people.. so, don't try to act smart with me as if you are doing me a favor by letting it go. It will not work." She rolled her eyes at the end of it nonchalantly.

The Prime Minister's face instantly stiffened.

"Of course, I had done you a favor by letting it go.. you know the time you will have to serve for kidnapping a state witness?" He said irritated.

"Well, you can press charges if you want to.. I do not need your favor. I will deal with it my own way.." Shreya sassed without giving in.

Seeing as the situation was getting out of control as soon as things got started, the Chief intervened in good intention and asked, "Shreya, let's put aside what had happened already and look forward to what is going to happen here on, can we? Sir, why are we here?"

The Prime minister puffed but then he took a deep breath and calmed himself down before looking at Shreya and ordered, "I need access to your information network for all our investigations!! Full access.. it will be under the direct authority of the Intelligence Agency! That is why I asked you here today! With this, we will be able to solve so many cases and be able to prevent a lot of disasters too.."

The Prime Minister looked so righteous while he talked that it is hard to see any flaw. Even though he did not really know the extent of the network, he could already guess how extensive the network is just from the depth of information she was able to gather for the cases they have been working on.

And the power that comes with such access to information is immense and it is really hard not to be tempted.

But Shreya remained unmoved as she looked at him unblinking as said at last stubbornly, "NO.. not happening."

Both the guys couldn't help but gap at her. The chief couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Shreya, it will benefit the public largely.." the Chief persuaded.

Shreya just let out a sarcastic chuckle as she looked at the Prime Minister's eyes that looked weirdly sinister.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#._52127653083272107">#._52127653083272107</a> for visiting.

"Oh, please.. don't paint yourselves as saints here. I am no child to believe that kind of bullshit. You guys are just pining on finding the handle on whoever opposes you to make your lives easier on yourself. And I did not create the network to fulfill your political agendas."

Even though she had created the network, she never abused it and hurt innocent people. She had played around with it.. pushed some people pretty hard here and there.. but she never actually hurt anyone innocent in real terms. Of course, she had never shown mercy to someone who had been cruel to her either.

So, the heavy burden that came along with this power.. so far, she had carried it with grace. And she does not trust anyone at all with that kind of power.. she does not know if she ever will be able to.

On top of it, in recent days, she is not able to trust herself with the power due to the impulses she had back when Charan and Akira were inaccessible. So, you can guess why she would be so stubborn about it.

"It is too much power for a single person to handle. That too a civilian.. it is dangerous." Chief tried but then he really struggled to get words out of his mouth under Shreya's scrutinizing stares while the Prime Minister just gave a look at Shreya.

"It is something I created for my own purposes and it is not even illegal. So, you cannot force me.. I would rather destroy it rather than handing it over to others.. You cannot persuade me otherwise." Shreya said making any persuasion coming to her way stop with a full stop.

Suffocating silence followed after that while Shreya just gave a nonchalant look towards both the older guys.

"It is true that we cannot touch you.. But no everybody around you is not as powerful as you.." Minister said breaking the silence smirking.

Shreya's jaws stiffened unconsciously. If there is one thing she hated more than being controlled, it had to be being threatened.. especially using others around her.

"You are not the only one who can dig information out, you know?" He said and pushed a bunch of photos and files towards Shreya..

Shreya glanced at it but it was enough to know what he had found. It contained photos and information on Charan and Akira and everyone around her. There was also a photo of Shreya hugging Akira in the VIP lounge of the airport a few days ago.

"You seem pretty close to the whole family!!" Minister smirked.
