Chapter 1 - Chapter 1:I am Dareth

(Boy): "Sir, please give me some food. I'm very hungry."

Shopkeeper: "Get lost! Do you even have money?"

Then the shopkeeper kicks the boy and throws him away.

The boy is 12 years old. His name is Dareth.

Later, he meets Sayeed, a 30-year-old man who works for the Crimson Gang.

Sayeed takes the boy to his house and gives him a shoe polish box to earn money.

On the street, little Dareth sees many other boys like him polishing shoes.

He polishes 20 shoes to earn just one piece of bread.

One morning, Sayeed is taking attendance of all the boys. Some of them say:

"Sir, the police don't let us work there. They beat us and chase us away."

Sayeed: "Police are being too aggressive lately."

Then he asks: "Who can punish this police officer?"

Among everyone, Dareth raises his hand and says:

"I can."

Sayeed: "Alright, let's see what you can do to punish him."

Dareth then takes two of his friends and follows a police officer who was collecting extortion money from a poor man.

Hiding from a distance, Dareth sees everything. His friend asks:

"Dareth, what will you do now?"

Dareth picks up an empty beer bottle and smashes it on the back of the officer's head.

The officer screams, falls down bleeding.

As they're running, Dareth suddenly stops.

His friend says: "Run! Or the police will catch us."

Dareth: "The officer doesn't know..."

Friend: "Know what?"

Dareth: "...my name."

Friend: "What are you talking about?"

Dareth: "My name."

Dareth goes back to the officer and yells:

"My name is Dareth. Don't ever forget it!"

He hits him again with the bottle.

Suddenly, two more police arrive and arrest Dareth.

Next morning, Sayeed bails him out of jail.

His two friends carry the badly injured Dareth home—he couldn't even use his hands.

Sayeed: "What have you done, Dareth? I didn't really mean for you to punish the officer. If I hadn't bailed you out, they would've beaten you to death."

Dareth: "If I hurt normal people, small-time thugs will come after me. If I hurt the police, big dons will notice me."

Sayeed (amused): "Such big words from such a small mouth. What do you want?"

Dareth: "The world."

Sayeed realizes this boy will do something great in the future.

But seniors often beat Dareth and stole his saved-up money.

One day, after being beaten again, he sits by the riverside, sad.

Sayeed comes to him.

Sayeed: "You can't stay sad. Only those who fight survive in this world."

Dareth: "What makes a man the most powerful?"

Sayeed: "Money."

Dareth: "Then I'll become the richest and most powerful man in the world."

Days pass. Dareth grows up. His body becomes strong.

The seniors who used to torture him are now afraid to even approach him.

Sayeed includes Dareth in Crimson Gang's main team.

Dareth becomes a feared name. Everyone is scared of him.

The leader of the Crimson Gang is Zakar Throne.

In Chittagong's sea beach, illegal gold is imported to avoid heavy taxes.

Crimson Gang's job is to deliver the smuggled gold safely to its final destination, for a big commission.

Practically, the entire Chittagong city is under Crimson Gang's control.

Dareth personally checks every container, parcel, and bag.

Not a single piece of gold moves without his inspection.

One day, Zakar meets Kael Brann, leader of the Iron Howlers Gang.

Kael wants to import gold through Chittagong, but Zakar refuses as Kael offers too little commission.

Zakar cancels the deal and leaves.

Kael: "Seems like we'll have to shut this project. We can't operate without Crimson Gang's support."

David (Kael's son): "What if we destroy Crimson Gang?"

Kael: "Stop dreaming. Dareth is with them."

David: "Dareth? Who's that? Why's everyone so scared of him? I promise, I'll destroy Crimson Gang."

Kael: "Stop talking nonsense."

Next day, David's gang attacks Crimson Gang in the port area.

One by one, they kill Crimson members.

Iron Howlers' boats, loaded with gold, wait near the Chittagong beach—ready to move once Dareth is caught.

David's Member: "Boss, we've killed almost all Crimson members."

David: "Catching them isn't enough. We need Dareth."

Then David gets a call: "Boss, we've captured Dareth."

David is overjoyed.

Boat captains start moving toward the Chittagong beach with the gold.

Meanwhile, Zakar Throne is in deep tension.

Sayeed asks: "What happened? Why are you so worried?"

Zakar: "Don't you understand? We're losing control over Chittagong."

Sayeed: "Don't worry. As long as Dareth is alive, there's nothing to fear. Let's go have a drink."

Zakar: "Are you crazy? You're chill during a crisis?"

Suddenly, a Crimson member arrives and says:

"Boss, Dareth has been captured by Iron Howlers."

Zakar is shocked.

Zakar: "It's over. Let's run, Sayeed!"

Sayeed: "Forget drinks! I'm throwing a party now!"

Zakar: "You're insane!"

Meanwhile, Dareth is hanging in chains inside a warehouse.

His hands are bleeding.

David: "Hah! It was so easy catching you. Now I get why people are scared of someone as weak as you."

At the same time, Kael is worried—David hasn't been in touch since yesterday.

As Kael sips coffee on his balcony, a member informs him:

"Sir, your son David has caught Dareth."

Kael drops his coffee in shock.

Kael: "Where is he now?"

Member: "Tied up in a warehouse in Chittagong, right in front of Dareth."

Kael (terrified): "No one captures a storm. You escape a storm."

In the warehouse, Dareth is still hanging.

David calls a member holding two large knives.

David: "It's my birthday today. I want Dareth's heart as a gift."

Then he asks other members:

"What do you all want?"

Members: "I want an eye… I want a hand…"

Suddenly, Dareth starts singing menacingly:

"Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…"

Everyone, including David, is scared.

David: "Kill him. Now!"

When a member approaches with a knife, Dareth kicks him hard.

Others attack, but the chain breaks, and Dareth falls to the ground.

Even with chained hands, Dareth brutally beats them all.

David, hiding in a corner, watches in horror.

Someone shoots at Dareth. He lifts his chained hand, and the bullet hits the chain, breaking it—freeing his hands.

Seeing this, the others panic.Then Dareth punches that member in the face so hard, his face flattens in the most brutal way.

Adam watches all of this and wets his pants in fear.

After that, Dareth finishes off the remaining gang members in extremely brutal ways—bones cracking, screams echoing through the warehouse.

Seeing all this, David escapes from the warehouse, running as fast as he can.

But Dareth chases after him like a predator.

Suddenly, a surviving gang member tries to stab Dareth from behind.

But Dareth grabs the same knife and slams it into the attacker's mouth, shoving it in so deep that the man falls dead.

Then, Dareth throws the blood-covered knife at David's leg, and it pierces through his calf, stopping him from running.

David collapses to the ground, screaming in pain.

Dareth calmly walks up and kneels beside him.

He pulls out a cigarette from his pants pocket and asks David:

Dareth:

"Got a lighter?"

David, hands trembling, gives him his lighter.

Dareth sits beside David, lights his cigarette, and starts smoking.

He looks at the sky as smoke drifts out of his mouth.

David (crying):

"Please... let me go... please don't kill me!"

Dareth (calmly):

"Now you understand why people fear me?"

David:

"Please… don't kill me… let me go…"

Dareth says nothing.

He just continues smoking silently, eyes on the sky.

Meanwhile, the gang's boats were nearing the coast of Chittagong.

Suddenly, the captain of one boat yells out:

Captain:

"Stop the boats! Everyone, stop!"

He had seen something terrifying on the beach.

David's lifeless body was hanging, bloodied and broken,

And Dareth was sitting beside it, holding two blood-stained knives in his hands.

All the captains panicked at the sight.

Captain (shouting):

"Turn around! Now! Turn all boats around!"

In complete fear, the gang's boats started to turn back, heading in the opposite direction, away from the beach...
