Chapter 379 - A Final Touch
Aarvi hadn't received a report of the last five members being safe even after ten minutes. The five members had lost their connection from the conference call so they couldn't ask either.
It was already a sufficient time for military men to ground Leon's men.
The ten Leon's men who were divided into teams of five were being sent in a truck with the cars following them.
Initially, the plan of Aarvi was, once Susan's car entered the regency safe and sound, they would send a success message to Leon to give him the happiness of victory.
Then sending Leon a picture of his all twenty unconscious men together. That would make him go crazy but now, they can't get their hands on ten members who would be taken away by the military.
So there was a change in plans, many were rushing to the city on Aarvi's instruction while some were waiting for five members.
Aaron silently accompanied her because that's what she needed the most. He wanted her to rest but she hadn't ended her game yet for the day.
Holding his arm, Aarvi leaned on his shoulder. She was tired, she wanted to sleep but didn't want to face Leon in a sleepy face.
Yes, she was going to face Leon straight for the second time.
She had thought to take Aaron but he wanted to give the limelight to her. It was her hard work, Aaron didn't want anybody to put his name on it. But he will be right there.
Aarvi knew why he was doing it. She anyway had the grand plan to reveal all her identities to Leon on the same day, which is not possible today so she accepted to get all the credits to her.
Aaron kissed her head before his gentle soothing voice sounded, "Leon keeps dagger all the time. Are you sure you don't want Alex behind you?"
Shawn had taught her how to use a dagger so she shook her head against his shoulder as she added, "You or nobody else."
Soon she heard Roach mention they reached the place she had asked him to drive. The trio got off and another man drove the Rolls Royce Ghost away.
Roach got into a black Bentley, Aarvi took the driver seat in her Bugatti Divo and Aaron took the shotgun.
Roach who had no idea the speed pickup of Aarvi was wonderstruck catching up with her. He had to follow the sports car on almost empty roads of the city of Mocon.
Aarvi wanted to reach the Harmon Industries before Leon Harmon. So her speed was high which she rarely goes. Aaron had heard Shawn had crazily taught her every stupidest thing one would be scared to try in the car.
He knew his Cupcake is brave but hadn't expected her to try crazy things. He never tried to drive that fast or even drift like how she was doing.
Come on, he only learned driving to drive to and fro from his condo to college when he was in country S. Whereas Aarvi started to learn because she wanted to be known but his brother ruined her innocent brain with fun.
That doesn't mean he couldn't do it.
Aarvi drifted probably the fifth time before glancing at Aaron, "I thought you will scold me." Her voice was pretty calm.
Aaron, who was enjoying the ride, turned to her, "I heard you flew the car in the air for three seconds." He meant this speed was nothing compared to it.
Aarvi: "..."
She needs to stop Shawn from telling her weird things she was learning there. And it wasn't a sports car but a jeep.
Aarvi who glanced behind was impressed that Roach was able to be right behind her. It meant he was versed in everything that is needed for keeping Aaron safe in every situation.
Her hand pinched Aaron's cheek before holding back the steering wheel as she said, "Let me only be the crazy one in us."
Aaron faintly smiled in resignation. She wants him to be the sensible one all the time. "Your wish is my command, President Evans."
Aarvi giggled and drove to their destination as fast as she could. They had almost reached the destination when her mobile rang.
Aaron helped her answer the call and put it on speaker for her to listen. Aarvi breathed relief when she got to know the last five had lost the connection to the call due to the military seizing the network around, importantly they were safe and sound.
The time for a final touch.
Aarvi halted the car in front of the entry to the Harmon Industries. The Black Bentley was halted on the other side of the road.
Aarvi was sure Roach was ready to snap the head off Leon Harmon if the latter does anything that's dangerous to her or Aaron.
The Shadow team quickly spread out without instruction or plan. That's how they always protected so they needed no other instruction.
How were they able to follow Aarvi?
They had access to Aarvi's mobile GPS like every other time.
Ten minutes passed but Leon's car was nowhere in sight. Aarvi then alighted the car leaving Aaron inside. Sitting on the bonnet of her sports car, Aarvi started eating her dark chocolate that was grabbed by Aaron for her dessert which she had missed.
Inside the cars, men were speechless. She wasn't as innocent as she looked while eating chocolate. They knew she was purposefully doing it.
About two hundred meters away, A white Lexus LS took a turn and regally drove up. The speed of the car didn't change.
Inside that car, Dylan identified Aarvi and his jaws had almost dropped. But he soon recovered and sounded shocked because that was his role.
"She... is really alive." Because according to Leon, that was the first time Dylan was seeing Ava Kelly after three years.
Leon's eyes shot open right after hearing 'She'. He knew who she was without looking in front, 'Ava Kelly.'
He was trying to digest the loss again as he couldn't reach any of his men. Nonetheless, she was there to rub salt on his raw wounds.
He was planning to stay away from her but that doesn't mean she will let him stay away from the trouble.
He wanted to keep his mind at peace and have control over him but she right there to destroy his sanity.
"Stop the car," Leon growled at the driver.
The driver was used to Leon's weird behavior so he stopped the car.
Roach, who was ready to shoot the tier of Leon's car if they tried to hit Buggati, snorted to himself.
He really did admire Aarvi's confidence and her boldness.
Dylan couldn't believe Ava Kelly was using her same innocent face to infuriate Leon. He understood the meaning behind the quote, 'Beauty is deadly.'
But he couldn't understand why she was adamant about facing Leon singly and how could Aaron leave her to see Leon alone.
Leon alighted the car and went in front of his Lexus. His eyes turned red, his lips were twitching, his breathing rugged and the blood burned his veins watching Aarvi's lazy nonchalant attitude sitting on the car bonnet in cream-colored overcoat dress.
Aarvi took another bite of dark chocolate unbothered about the glare of the man.
Then her hand signaled the driver to turn off the headlight and to Leon's horror, his driver turned it off.
Leon couldn't believe, not only his emotions and behavior, even his employees were listening and dancing on her terms.
