The revelation of the Leo family's wealth had cast a hush over the room, a silence that spoke volumes about the tension and unspoken rivalries among the hidden families.

Thomas, head of the Aries family, was visibly unsettled, unable to refute the Farus family patriarch's assertion about this open secret.

Amidst the charged silence, the officials saw their chance to intervene. Shastri, the seasoned Secretary of State, stood up, a proposition at the ready. His voice, steady and authoritative, cut through the tension.

"Respected patriarchs, For the sake of the world, I propose a peace treaty. Please, consider these points with peace in mind," he began. He outlined the terms of the treaty, each point a potential solution to the ongoing conflicts.

1. The return of young master Luis to the Aries family.

2. In exchange, the Aries family would relinquish control of India to the Farus family and cease further involvement.

3. For China, the Aries family would maintain control of the mainland, while peripheral territories like Taiwan would fall under Farus family control.

"Please speak you openings on the proposal. I hope these proposals will solve the problem between your families and eternal peace will follow the world."

Shastri sat back, a look of pride on his face, believing he had crafted a masterful solution to a complex problem.

Das, seated among the family heads, struggled to contain his laughter, knowing all too well the reactions that were about to unfold.

Mr. Ryos of the Taurus family is the first to react, his tone laced with indignation. " Do you think we are fools to come here. What do you think of Taurus family? We are not some sidekicks who came to see picnic." Mr. Ryos, chimed in an angry tone.

Before Ryos could continue, the Farus family patriarch, driven by grief and anger, slammed his hand on the table. "The Aries family will pay for the death of my elder son. I won't rest until they are annihilated."

Thomas, rising to his full height, declared firmly, "The Aries family will never cede our territories to the Farus family. And keep China out of this!" Thomas warned Sastri with angry glare.

The room erupted into commotion, the carefully laid plans of Shastri crumbling in the face of raw emotion and deep-seated grudges. Shastri himself stood frozen, his expression one of fear and uncertainty, unsure of how to salvage the situation.

It was at this critical juncture that General Harries Singh burst into the room, his presence commanding immediate attention. He quickly assessed the situation and offered an apology to the family heads, his tone conciliatory.

"Please, let's take a moment to calm down. We need to think this through," he pleaded, urging everyone to take a short break. His intervention provided Shastri with much-needed relief, the Secretary regarding him as a lifesaver in this volatile scenario.

Harries Singh, despite his headache from the mounting tensions, managed to escort the family heads to separate rooms for isolation, giving everyone time to cool down and reflect. The soldiers, under his command, moved with efficiency, ensuring the temporary separation of the families.

As Das was escorted out, he couldn't help but ponder the complexities of the situation. The peace treaty, meant to be a solution, had only served to ignite deeper hostilities. The delicate balance of power among the hidden families was on the verge of collapse.

In the quiet seclusion of his room, Das was deep in thought about the potential outcomes of the summit, when a light tap on the door interrupted his contemplation.

He looked up to find Mona, the Taurus family's sole heiress, standing hesitantly outside his door, her hands visibly trembling with an uncharacteristic nervousness.

Curiosity piqued, Das opened the door, allowing her to enter. The room, stark in its simplicity, offered little in the way of comfort, save for the single bed that seemed to be the room's only furnishing.

"Why did you come here? Isn't your family busy preparing for the next meeting?" Das inquired, gesturing towards the bed for her to sit, while he opted to remain standing.

Mona took a seat, her posture reflecting a mix of anxiety and perplex. "What's there to discuss? There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Peace seems impossible unless the Farus family returns Luis, which is unlikely," she replied, her voice tinged with a sigh of resignation.

Das, maintaining his stance, asked, "Then, do you have something you wish to discuss with me?"

Mona patted the space beside her on the bed, inviting him to sit. As Das took a seat next to her, maintaining a respectful distance, Mona turned towards him. "Tell me your opinion. What do you think will happen after this meeting?"

In the close confines of the room, Mona found herself increasingly drawn to Das, his presence disturbing her usual composure.

It is her first time to experience this type of strange feeling when staying alone with a male. His manly scent, a subtle mix of strength and mystery, seemed to cloud her thoughts.

"Of course, we will go to war," Das replied matter-of-factly, his gaze steady as he eyed intently.

Mona's confusion is evident. "Why are you so certain? Thomas won't agree to a war with his son's life at stake."

Das turned to meet her eyes, his response deliberate. "As long as Luis is alive, war will happen. The Farus family patriarch seeks revenge for his son's death. So, unless the Aries family offers a substantial compensation or accepts Luis's death and leave territories, the Farus family will never agree to peace. And the Aries family will agree to neither. War, then, is the inevitable conclusion."

Mona absorbed his words, her eyes searching his face for any hint of doubt. But Das's conviction was clear, his analysis of the situation a reflection of his deep understanding of the intricate web of family politics.

As they sat together, the tension of the summit seemed to fade, replaced by a different kind of tension – one that was personal and charged with unspoken emotions. Mona, usually so composed and strategic, found herself grappling with feelings she had not anticipated, her attraction to Das growing stronger in his presence.

"If war happens, Farus family will first kill Luis. So, Thomas won't agree to war. That's why my father also failing to challenge the Farus family. So until Luis matter solves, war won't happen. Mona replied suddenly while staring at ground. Her hand is slowly moving on the bed sheet towards Das who sat in a short distance from her.

"What if I have a method to save Luis? Will that solve your problems?" Das asked with a smile while leaning towards her in close distance.

"What?!"
