Chapter 15 - Logistics and the Hidden Network

After leaving the Desai Corporation at around 2 PM, Mukul stepped into his sleek black car, the cityscape of Aurora City sprawling outside. Aurora City was the perfect mix of modernity and old-world charm. Skyscrapers glittered in the afternoon sun, while tree-lined streets reminded him of the calm he had once known in his village. Today, his purpose was different. He wasn't here for family, college, or even corporate meetings — he was going to visit a company he had quietly acquired some time ago.

The Aurora Logistics Company was modest, almost unnoticeable from the outside. Its low-profile headquarters contrasted sharply with the massive Desai Corporation, but inside, it hummed with organised activity. Mukul parked the car and stepped into the office, his mind already working through logistics charts, supply chains, and operational details.

This company wasn't meant to make a fortune. In fact, its revenue barely touched 1% of Mukul's main enterprise, but its purpose was far more important. It served as a hidden hub — a base for resources, financial flows, and secret operations tied to his larger network.

The main company, Eternal Dominion Enterprises, was located on the outskirts of Aurora City, a sprawling complex that Mukul had built with the merged power of his three guilds: the Iron Lotus Guild, the White Crane Healing Society, and the Shadow Raven Consortium. Together, they had become The Eternal Dominion Guild, combining strength, intelligence, and medical expertise into a single force that could operate anywhere in the world.

Eternal Dominion Enterprises was vast, covering multiple fields:

Real Estate: owning commercial and residential properties across the country.

Design: from jewellery, clothes, and footwear to vehicles and custom machines.

IT & Mechanical: software solutions, security networks, and advanced machinery.

Finance & Stock Trading: including bitcoin and other cryptocurrency operations.

Logistics: transporting goods and resources efficiently without attracting attention.

Food & Pharmaceuticals: owning restaurants, hotels, and pharmaceutical manufacturing units.

Entertainment: movies, music, and events management.

Security & Weapons: their own security company and weapon manufacturing units.

Import & Export: metals like steel and iron, along with other global commodities.

Law Firm: individual legal services to assist in corporate and private matters.

Airlines & Transportation: private air travel and specialised transport operations.

Mukul's eyes swept across the modest logistics office. Though the outward appearance was simple, inside, it was a well-oiled machine. Workers were busy tracking deliveries, coordinating shipments, and updating Mukul's custom-built software for real-time monitoring. Every small detail had been programmed by Mukul himself, using his technical knowledge from his reborn life.

He walked to his office in the back, a small, neat room with a view of the city. Here, he could manage the logistics company without drawing attention to the massive operations of Eternal Dominion Enterprises. His purpose was clear: to allow the guild to operate freely, to fund its activities, and to ensure that the network's power remained hidden from prying eyes.

Mukul tapped on his laptop, reviewing the logistics schedules. He had arranged for daily resource shipments that connected Aurora Logistics to Eternal Dominion's main headquarters without raising suspicion. Vehicles carrying everything from legal documents to raw materials moved seamlessly through monitored routes.

The subtlety was key. While Aurora Logistics appeared to be just another ordinary company, Mukul had embedded small financial transfers, covert communications, and emergency supply chains. In case of any unforeseen situation, the guild could mobilise without revealing the scale of its power.

He leaned back, a small smile forming on his face. This was the culmination of years of planning — from running a small street food stall in his village to secretly managing multiple businesses and guilds. Now, everything was connected. The knowledge from his past life, the cultivation skills that enhanced his memory and strategic thinking, and the wisdom gained from overcoming betrayal all came together in this one system.

Mukul knew that the Eternal Dominion Guild was more than just power; it was a shield, a family, and a mechanism to protect those he loved. With this logistics company in Aurora City, he had a reliable base inside the city, while the larger guild operations remained safely hidden at the outskirts.

As he looked at the screens monitoring shipments, personnel, and financial data, Mukul thought of the future. This network would allow him to expand his influence, protect his family, and grow his empire silently, without drawing unwanted attention. Every shipment, every resource, every small financial flow was a thread in a larger web — a web Mukul controlled entirely.

After checking the daily schedules and approving a few transfers, Mukul stood by the window, looking at the city below. Aurora City was bustling with life, unaware that one of its quietest logistics companies was secretly the backbone of a hidden empire. Mukul's smile widened.

The Eternal Dominion Guild… he whispered to himself. This is only the beginning. With this, I can finally protect my family, my allies, and my future. And no one — no enemy, no betrayer — will ever threaten us again.

Satisfied, Mukul packed his laptop, left Aurora Logistics Company, and headed back to the Desai mansion. His mind was already planning the next step: ensuring the smooth operation of the guild, continuing his college studies, and preparing for the larger world beyond the city.

Tonight, he would sleep knowing that the foundation of his empire — hidden, safe, and unstoppable — was secure, and that his family, both by blood and by loyalty, was at the centre of everything.
