The NSG dropped from the balconies on tactical ropes. Hanut hit the floor and immediately took out a gunman aiming at the crowd. The hall turned into a chaotic blur of precision fire and tactical movement. Aryan, huddling under a wooden bench, watched as a man in a black jumpsuit—Major Hanut—shielded his mother from a stray bullet.
A thunderous explosion rocked the main gate. Black smoke filled the courtyard as four gunmen, clad in tactical gear and carrying heavy rifles, stormed the complex. Screams replaced the hymns.
