The room came to a standstill all over again. But this time around, a freezing coldness spread all around making the people shiver.

Shreya's eyes showed a fury that was enough to burn the whole world as soon as the Minister shut his mouth.

But the guy still just stared back arrogantly.

After all, since Shreya had been hiding them so precious, he knew they were her weakness. And the whole family was just ordinary people with normal jobs. It is so easy to manipulate them to leave her if he insisted on it.

And with whole government support, he knows he could scare them real well. Shreya maybe powerful enough but she was still not the government. And the title he holds gave him such arrogance.. and he really hated that Shreya was not succ.u.mbing to such arrogance even when she was just a spoilt brat who was born with silver spoons.

He was not underestimating her but he had a disdain for her since he thought her power came from other people's hard work and not her own. At most, he could agree she was very smart when it came to making money. He could acknowledge that much from their interactions these days. And using that money, she was able to establish an information system.

But he could never have guessed the power that such an information system could actually give her. And he underestimated her manpower. He saw her as an arrogant paper tiger reaping in on her father's goodwill.

He did not have this kind of confidence to face her the last time because he did not have anything on her and she had the means to make his future.

But between the last time they met and now, he gathered investors for himself and he was confident that he had a handle on her. SO, he did not see the need to bow down to her now.

"And do you know the consequences you will be facing if I just 'accidentally' let out that you were the mastermind behind bringing down the syndicate?? You will be facing a whole lot of angry people.. even if I am doing it, I can always pretend I had no choice in the name of public service.. but you? You are one among them.. they might see this as a betrayal."

After all, all public knew was that Shreya was responsible for bringing down three big corporations due to dispute and the government used that opportunity to infiltrate and investigate the syndicate.

The arrest warrants will be an issue today in a matter of hours, once the hearing of Abishek comes to an end. And all those involved will be arrested at once.

Naren and Abimanyu are already in custody and had been interrogated thoroughly. Only Naren had been resisting while Abimanyu also co-operated very peacefully with them after the talk he had with his daughter.

Everything gave him such a confidence boost that he actually forgot for a second who brought all these to him.

Shreya sat back and let out a chuckle.

When she initially checked on the Prime Minister, out of courtesy, she actually kept it strictly business.. she only checked on his career and political development since that was what was relevant for her. But seeing him now, she realized she must have made a mistake..

"Do you really think you can intimidate me with just this much? You are so much more na?ve than I gave you credit for!!" Shreya sneered sarcastically.

But before either of the men could come up with any response, Shreya continued, "Have you ever thought, if you, with your corrupted resources can actually gather this much on me, what I could gather on you? What I already have on my hands? Did you really think I would have just come to you and gave you every last bit of evidence because I was helpless??"

Shreya paused and asked coldly, "You remember Rakesh? You should be familiar with what happened to him..?"

Shreya stopped after that letting them digest the information she had given them.. after all, nobody really knew that it was Shreya's hand behind Rakesh.. But thinking about it now, they should have known. After all, it was no secret how close Rakesh was to Abimanyu.

The Prime Minister's eyes widened. But before he could ask anything Shreya continued, "If I could do that to him, imagine what I can do to you?"

After all, even though he was the Prime Minister, the kind of power Rakesh had was much more than his own. He personally does not have such financial backing. He solely depended on public opinion and was slowly building his own financial power after taking the seat, unlike Rakesh who came from generations of wealth and noble status. His family was an aristocratic family for generations now.

The kind of power Shreya has now is very different from Rakesh.. Shreya was just a second-generation rich kid.. but Rakesh was different.. his family had been prominent for a long while now. His identity is almost noble.

It was just, Rakesh was not smart enough to make use of it properly and let his powers decline over time. Or else, he wouldn't have had to work for the likes of Abimanyu in the first place.

So, it can be said that Rakesh and his family had been the only true power she had dealt with so far.. It took her 6 months just to topple all the power behind Rakesh and to isolate him to a corner.

"You.. you did that?" The Chief asked astonished. After all, Rakesh ended up in a bloody sack in front of his department overnight. And Shreya did not seem the type to flaunt or brag.

They always thought maybe, it was a retaliation from some terrorists whom he had brushed the wrong way. SO, knowing Shreya did that was a big blow to both the men.. they saw Shreya in a new light.. at least the Chief did since he saw personally what kind of damage Shreya had done to him and his family up close.

"So, I suggest you keep your head down rather than insisting on trying to control me. As long as you do not touch me, I am almost always too lazy to care about anybody or anything. And you even so much as touch a hair of people around me, trust me, you guys will end up more miserable than him!!" Shreya warned and stood up from her place.

She then looked at the Chief and said, "You need any information for investigation.. forward me the details, I will get them for you. If it is genuine. Don't try to play tricks!!"

She then left the office leaving behind a truly furious Yash -The Prime Minister and a helpless Rudra- the Chief.

Yash was beyond furious.. both with Shreya and himself. He was angry with himself because of his helplessness to deal with a little girl like Shreya.. and with Shreya, because he had never been treated like that by anyone from when he took the office.

Note: I will name the Prime Minister as 'Mr. Yash'.. initially I did not want to name him since I never thought of his character to play into the story so much but now, it is hard to keep calling him the Prime minister everywhere. And also, the Chief of the Intelligence Agency is 'Mr. Rudra'.
