The Traps of Black Swan

Aaron's action of lazily dropping each ice cube felt like he was already bored at the beginning of the show.

[Boss, we are at JV Avenue road.] 

Right after hearing the response from his men, Leon passed the order without an ounce of mercy at the life of Shea or Wade Merton, "Blow up the car." 

Leon wanted to teach Aaron that he will lose his loved ones if he dares stand against him again. His warning was an attack and a sample of who he was. 

He was the president of Harmon Industries to the world. Now he was showing his hidden strength of being the major drug and weapon dealer in the country.

Leon noticed Aaron added another ice cube and filled the whole glass. His order to his men didn't even make Aaron's eyes widen or breath twitch. 

'Doesn't he care about Shea Morris? If not, why is he here?' Leon thought.

Aaron pushed the rock glass towards him on the bar counter. The glass twirled as it slid next to the mobile before halting right next to Leon's whiskey glass that he was holding.

"President Harmon, you need it more than me." Aaron's voice was certain but Leon failed to fathom his words.

Leon sneered in his mind. Today he was going to break the confidence of Aaron. If Aaron was thinking Leon was just bark and means no real harm, Leon was going to prove him wrong.

After just a few seconds of Leon's order, the three in the living hall heard a loud blast of a car from the speakers of Leon's mobile.

Leon snorted at Aaron. He assumed Aaron put up an act of reaching his place due to Nikun, his best friend, and Shea who considers him as a brother. 

However, his face turned ugly realizing the call hang up automatically right after they heard the blast.

Aaron leisurely took his mobile out after hearing a beep from his mobile. He downloaded the video and placed it on the counter, facing it towards Leon.

Leon's back had stiffened when Aaron was taking the mobile. He realized Aaron was the reason behind the call hanging up. 'But how?'

This was the plan Leon just schemed. He himself didn't know it until Aaron mentioned 'his mask.' So preparing the counterattack for it was impossible unless estimated beforehand.

Aaron tapped on the play icon and played the video for Leon.

The white Maserati was at good speed on the road, and a black sedan was following the Maserati and maintaining a reasonable distance. 

The rooftop of the black car slid open and a man stood up holding something. Before he steadies himself, the car blew up catching on fire, and flipped on the road.

The video continued to show the car burning in fire and the white Maserati drove away.

Leon's breath had rugged and he was breathing heavily looking at Aaron's mobile unable to keep his frustration in check. Most of the people might get scared looking at his anger, only a few could identify his anger as his weakness

Leon glared at the mobile as though he could fire it and turn it into ash. He craved to crush Aaron's mobile into pieces.

Leon didn't see anybody shooting at the black sedan. He ordered them to blow up the Maserati but his men blew up their own bloody car. 

That was ludicrous.

The anger welled up in his chest when he met Aaron's same gaze willed with confidence. It wasn't overconfidence, it was the faith in his team and the plan which executed smoothly.

Aaron was neither angry at hearing the order of killing Shea, nor showed a hint of triumph in his face.

His gaze was provoking, 'try me if you dare.' It wasn't threatening but more terrifying and cold as a glacier even controlling his actions.

Leon gritted pulling his gaze away. When he had met Aaron as a patient consulting a doctor, Aaron had looked like he was detached from the world and earthly emotions. It was as though nothing could fascinate him or change him.

Leon had assumed Rivas Industries would die in his hands without leveling up. And Leon was wrong, Rivas Industries did face troubles but stood stronger than ever.

From the first time to now, Aaron always proved Leon wrong but Leon wasn't ready to accept Aaron or Rivas Industries could be stronger than him.

Who would have thought Aaron had a forbidden side too?

Just when Leon was about to narrow his eyes at Aaron, he realized the fire and flip of the car didn't hurt anybody despite being in the city. His eyes shifted to the three cars that had jerked to a stop at a very sharp time. 

He couldn't believe his men who were following somebody had no idea somebody else was also following them.

Aaron broke the silence to solve Leon's query he didn't utter to avoid being ashamed. "Wade Merton? He is just a tiny fish in a pond who fell for the dead sea you showed him."

Leon's resentment grew inside him like a tumor hearing each ridicule of Aaron. His hands tightened into fists leaving the glass.

'Clink.' The glasses touched grabbing Leon's attention.

He understood why Aaron filled ice cubes and gave him the whiskey glass. Aaron was mocking him to cool down and Leon's anger continued to mount.

Aaron questioned, ignoring the anger boiling in Leon, "When you are the one behind Wade Merton, do you think I will believe there won't be any surprise attack?"

It was enough to tell Leon that Aaron had done a proper check on Wade Merton, then they fooled Leon in the morning. Anyway, it's easier to make the fools understand but Leon wasn't an imbecile, so he couldn't understand and back out early.

Aaron revealed how the car blew up, "You might know the small car latching explosives?... Tsk, how will you know military firearms are upgraded?"

Leon slammed his fist on the bar counter, "Aaron Rivas." He exploded with rage.

However, Aaron was too cool to believe and that was more terrifying than holding an explosive in his hand.

"This is just a sample," Aaron uttered enunciating each word in his deep, dark voice.

A wave of fury crashed through Leon. He had thought he was going to give the taste of loss and show his power to Aaron Rivas.

At the edge of irritation, Leon didn't realize Aaron was studying him the whole time. Aaron had heard Aarvi particularly mentioning Leon behaves like a completely different person when he loses his complete control. He becomes too sharp, highly alert and his intent to kill the person touches the peak. 

Aaron exactly felt the same. Leon Harmon who was level-headed doesn't think of killing the main person immediately. He loves to show his power and relish it. 

But his biggest weaknesses, his anger, and loss of control over the situation stimulate him to take someone's life so that he could control the situation as he wants.

If Aaron was accurately reading Leon… Aaron didn't even get to think completely.

Leon's hand slid to behind, his pupils flared and the next second, the black handgun appeared in his hand pointing the nozzle at Aaron's forehead.

Roach's eyes narrowed, his hand flew inside his blazer and wrapped his fingers tight around the grip of the handgun but Aaron signaled him to stop.

Roach's brows knitted tightly as Aaron didn't have any weapon and was sitting at gunpoint distance.
