As Uday's car approached, Karthi appeared in the window. He did not notice the mysterious man standing in the dark. He was talking to his brother about something interesting. The mystery man gathered all his power and poured it on Karthi. Usually in such maneuvers of the mystery man the opponents will go inactive. They will feel like they are tied tightly by an iron chain. Can't move or speak. They will have to stay that way until mystery man decides and free them. But the first exception was Karthi. He looked at his brother and spoke without any interruption. The powers sent by the mystery man never reached Karthi. Uday's car disappeared from the mystery man's sight after a while.
He did not fully believe it, even though his instinct had already told him in one corner of his mind that this could happen. It was a great shame for him to lose like the Master, who had kept the powers one step ahead of the Master. He who has conquered so many great heads, who has been able to play hide and seek with the master from time to time, cannot bear to be defeated by a novice. The anger that arose inside took on a visceral form. He is not going to rest anymore. That anger will make him stronger and make him try until he succeeds. The master would have thought it a shame not to be able to read Karthi. Only if he knows what he is going to do and what Karthi has talked to the master about and what happened there, he can decide what to do next.

For Uday's his brother is a Superman. It was amazing that he got closer to Master than him before he could finish talking on the phone with political friend. When he knew that he was going to learn something from him and that he had agreed to teach him it, he looked at his brother with proud. He was amazed at how his brother was able to achieve this in just a few minutes when people like ParthaSarathy said they thought it was a great privilege to even get permission to see him and meet him. But he could not guess anything from Karthi's expression. If he had not celebrated all that is honesty and conscience he would have overtaken all of them in politics. He did not even tell in the house what happened when he went missing. He still has a face like he knows nothing. He smiled softly.
Karthi asked. "What is the matter?"
"I thought how it would be, if you get into politics?"
"Yes, yes that's the only thing left for me to do"
“You always lecture about politicians. Why don’t you get into politics? Then you will know, how many compulsions does a politician have”
“Tell me honestly. Do the politicians launder all the wealth due to compulsion or greediness?”
Uday did not answer. There is only a thin line between the two. It's so thin that we do not know when we will cross it. No one looks back after crossing.

Suresh could not help but tell the master after Karthi left.
"It seems Karthi had learned the art of hypnotism, Master”
Master smiled. There was a big look of confusion on Suresh's face. He is the One who worships Him with the height of the sky. It was not his fault he felt like he had suddenly come down. If someone had told him that he would accept him as a disciple before meeting Karthi, he would have looked down on the man who told him. The most important reason he accepted Karthi as a disciple was his uncompromising honesty. He could not doubt his sincerity even if he was the enemy’s aide.
Told Suresh in a soft voice.
"In a way, all the wisdom that one has acquired is a kind of debt. If a worthy disciple asks for that wisdom it should be repaid”
""Even if he is the aide of the enemy who killed our guru? "
“Yes. Unless he is not involved in the crime"
"Master, is he not likely to misuse the wisdom he has got from you?”
“No one can misuse the wisdom, Suresh. If the wisdom is misused then It's just knowledge. Anyone can use knowledge for good and bad. But this problem of knowledge is not for wisdom. Wisdom only shows the good way. ”
He was speechless and remained silent for a while.
"But I still feel like there's something manipulative behind this, Master. I do not know of this feeling since Karthi came from enemy who killed our Guru. But I feel something manipulative”
He smiled without saying anything. He continued.
"I do not know how they will respond to this in our movement, Master. All of us are seeing Karthi in the enemy position. When you went to Varanasi, Viswam conducted a meeting with our members to tell them about the death of our Guru, I saw with my own eyes that the emotions were boiling. I'm afraid they will be able to accept it. ”
Individual freedoms do not exist for the leader. This is why leadership responsibility often becomes a crown of thorns. The leader must have the responsibility to adapt to the people who depend on him whether he likes it or not, and the responsibility of resolving their doubts. The sighing master quietly told Suresh.
"Tell Viswam to arrange a meeting with all the people in our movement, Suresh. I have to talk to them”
Suresh was stunned. Earlier in the Haridwar meeting the members who had vented their hatred on the enemy and Karthi, Suresh was afraid of how they would behave towards the master who had accepted Karthi as his disciple.
It could be read by the master. But his fear did not infect him. He was willing to step down without even the slightest hesitation if he happened to step down from leadership.
It was understandable to Suresh. He hated Karthi as he had brought Master into such a situation.
