Looking at Aaron''s shoes, Leon''sst worry was the pain inflicted by the fall. Aarvi''s melodious chortles were like oil was thrown to the fire. Leon grounded his teeth craving to kill those two right then and there.
However, before Leon could have any other thoughts, he felt a hold on his ankle and Roach mmed him to the couch, adding more pain to his body.
Just a move of his hand, Aaron easily buried Aarvi''s little face in the crook of his neck as he went to the armchair and sat down with his wife on hisp.
Aarvi was speechless. There were so many men, how could he just make her sit on hisp? She quickly shifted and sat on the arm of the chair. Aaron didn''t protest.
Then she stood up again. Skipping to the curled-up man, she pointed to his cor for the Shadow team member. The man searched his cor and found a pin attached to it. He handed the microchip to Aarvi.
Aarvi showed the microchip to Aaron to tell him how exactly she was able to get all the ns of Leon. Aaron just stared at his wife. He knows she always has her ns ready for precaution. She doesn''t usually tell as it could be a waste if the opposition doesn''t react in the way. If Leon had believed Dn and left the ind, her preparation would have been wasted hence she was able to go to sleep without thinking about her safety.
----
She got a call in the middle of the night. He had just seen that the caller was Alex, Aarvi suddenly woke up and instructed, "Get dressed." She took the mobile from his hand and answered the call as though she wasn''t sleeping just a moment back.
Then Aaron heard all the ns, they were out of their vi before Leon''s men even attacked. The cops of the ind were in their vi waiting for the sneakers while Aarvi and Aaron went to Dn''s water vi, instructing Alex to bring Dn, hand over the other men to the cops.
Actually, they could have killed them in self-defense, but they followed Aarvi''s n to hand over those men to cops, urately knowing she didn''t want their hands smeared in their blood. She would let thew handle them even if it''s cruel.
----
Meanwhile, Leon who saw the microchip realized where he tripped. Aarvi didn''t try to take help from his people, she used technology against him. His men had checked the whole vi for everything but they hadn''t checked themselves. She was shrewd and on point in her n.
Aarvi tossed the microchip to Leon who was sitting on the ground while his body was twitching in numbing pain, "Did you understand what Shawn meant by ''update yourself''?" She mocked Leon.
Leon recalled Shawn had said it in the Mall of Mocon when he had first met Aarvi and her four men.
Looking at Leon glowering at her, her lips beautifully arced and warned him, "Don''t think of leaping at me." Then her lips dangerously tilted to a lopsided smirk, "You will take yourst breath the next second."
Leon squinted his eyes at Aarvi and shifted his gaze to Aaron. He knew what she said was the fact. Before he could touch her, Roach would kick him aside and Aaron would mercilessly end his life. Aaron wasn''t a saint as he appeared to be emotionless. He would be an idiot to think the same.
Aarvi returned to Aaron and sat on the arm of the chair as she revealed how easy it was for her to guess everything so that Leon doesn''t continue his stupid ns.
"Leon Harmon, do you think we will go to an unguarded ce without preparing when we knew you wanted us dead? Tsk… Do we look blind not to notice a room service guy wandering and keeping an eye on us?"
They heard a knock on the door before it was pushed open. Alex threw Dn to the ground and fetched water from the dining table. He threw a whole jug of water on Dn''s face without a hint of gentleness.
Dn woke up gasping for air and groaned in pain. He was taking time to recover when Leon started to doubt Dn seeing no such deep wounds on Dn''s body.
Aarvi didn''t give a chance for Leon''s mind to wander further, "Tsk, tsk… Did you guys really think I would kill you two so easily?"
Dn felt more clear-headed hearing Aarvi''s sarcastic tone. He found her weird seeing her speak so many words. She speaks less, which gives far beyond meaning than just a few words. She doesn''t show her real calmness, powerful mind to Leon. She lets her little emotions out, making Leon believe she was just what she speaks when she was far too deep.
Nevertheless, Dn knew Aarvi also meant her words and she was wiping off the doubts from Leon''s head.
"Did you forget what I did to Billy Craft? Chief Powell?... I will let you guys live but cry for death." Aarvi added. She had ns for Leon''s ending but Dn. She needs to weigh a lot of things before deciding his fate.
Leon believed her words as it was a fact. If she wanted to kill them, she would have done it in the hall of mirrors at Sean''s engagement. Or just asked Aaron to get rid of them. She was torturing him, tormenting him to live, provoking him to attack her, then she would inflict greater mental suffering.
Three years back, he had shown his power to her, when she was weak and helpless. Three yearster, she was showing what real power meant when he wasn''t weak and had every resource to protect himself.
Roach took steps towards the french windows and tilted theyer of the curtains aside. Looking at the speedboat, he turned back to the couple and nodded, silently informing them the boat was there. Aarvi didn''t react to him, Aaron let her handle as he just cared about her safety. A little extra work, the sleepless night was nothing to him.
As though the seriousness was too much to handle, Aarvi suddenly pped her hand grabbing everyone''s attention including the whimpering man on the ground, "Assistant Harmon, I have mindblowing news for you."
Aaron, Roach, and the Shadow team knew she was going to say somethingme to irritate Leon. Dn was clueless so he gazed at her.
As others guessed, Aarvi excitedly asked Dn, "Do you know why Leon hadn''t touched any girl in the past three years?"
Dn nced at Leon who was gritting his teeth, craving for her blood. Ignoring him, Dn looked back at Aarvi. He wanted to guess but controlled due to Leon''s presence.
After a pause, Aarvi revealed her aplishment, "I kicked him to impotence."
''Pfft,'' The shadow team tried their hardest to keep theirughter down. It wasn''t because Leon was impotent, it was because Aarvi was trying to act childish, iming her feat.
Well, they could guess how hard she might have tried to achieve that and escape Leon''s grasp. They admired the couple for still holding the patience.
Roach: "..."
This woman was hard to understand for his every brain cell.
Aarvi rotated her feet and grumbled, "I wish my kick was as strong as Aaron''s though."
Aaron: "..."
The whimpering man shut his lips, feeling d he got kicked to the stomach.
Dn tried his best to stay expressionless. ording to him, it was news for celebration. Damn, he truly wanted tough, stomach full. Now he understood why Leon was adamant about killing Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans.
Leon''s face was dark as coal, ring at Aarvi. He had so meticulously hidden his impotence from everyone but who knew Aarvi would turn out to be Aaron''s first love.
Aarvi sensed Leon was going to spat something at Aaron looking at their deadlock icy, murderous gazes.
She flicked her fingers, getting everyone''s attention. Her voice morphed to the intensity, it stiffened their back, "Leon Harmon, never think the silence of a Lion as its weakness. If it roars, your bark will fade. If it lunges, you will be left with nothing." She warned Leon to stay away from them.
Aaron scooped his wife and took her out before she scrapes Leon''s eyes for ring at him.
