The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi returned to her penthouse where two men were waiting for her. She again needs to get into the mood.

Aarvi nodded remembering she had discerned till Leon used Merton's to shoot the cabinet secretariat to find the person who excels in the field of cardiology.

Leon's plan was indeed a success over here. The secretariat was shifted immediately to the military hospital after he was shot. "Aaron, excluding you, who else was present in the operation theatre other than military surgeons and experts?" She asked by looking towards him.

Aaron didn't know why she chose a different way to think, he didn't question but remembered the surgeon's name, "Professor Jeffy from Hospital Lifeline, Coasta."

Aarvi nodded and guessed, "The main surgeon of the operation was surgeon general but you are the one who removed the bullet letting him manage the post-completion operation."

Aaron hummed remembering she had asked how two or three surgeons work at a time in surgery when the patient is a very important personality of the country.

Aarvi continued slowly uttering every word feeling things erroneous, "So you two are the prime elements in saving the secretariat."

Taking Leon's personality into consideration, he would definitely go to Professor Jeffy. Professor having no choice against Leon, he definitely has provided Leon with the information about the operation. And there was also a possibility of using him to disturb the health condition of the Secretariat.

Aaron and Nikun looked at each other and the latter blurted out, "Surgeon general is in danger."

That's exactly what Aarvi's instincts and deduction said. Leon failed to fetch any information with respect to Aaron and 'Ava Kelly.' During that time, all knew the Rivas family was mourning two deaths and faced a huge business loss.

At the same time, Aaron saved Aarvi and stayed beside her, hardly going to the office so people thought he was devastated after losing his mother and younger sister so he was in the home. His tracks were cleared to keep Ava Kelly's identity safe.

Even though those weren't enough to get rid of Leon's suspicion of Aaron, Leon can't go against Aaron so the easiest target is the surgeon general in comparison.

Aarvi wanted to break open Leon's head and tell him that when he shot her, the bullet had pierced her heart, removing it would cause her death and they can't leave the bullet either which was slowly failing her heart.

But the bullet that was shot at the cabinet minister was very close to the heart, damaging the right pulmonary vein. His life wasn't as critical as hers.

However, she itched to bore a hole in Leon's heart.

At Harmon Mansion,

Dylan tried to be reasonable after hearing Leon ordering his plan to his lackeys to be carried out, "Brother Leon, it is very risky to target a military officer, The surgeon general was just doing her job, why will she provide shelter and power to Ava Kelly even if she saves her?"

Even though he sounded like he was concerned about risk, he actually wanted to save the innocent life of the surgeon general.

Leon slammed the laptop screen shut which had Ava Kelly's picture. Dylan couldn't read his wicked grin and malicious eyes.

"A death does not harm the earth." Leon smugly responded without caring that the surgeon general could be innocent.

Dylan gritted his teeth, he wanted that death to be Leon Harmon's instead of an innocent person. So he started to think about how to divert Leon's attention from the surgeon general.

Dylan didn't move and stared at Leon hoping for an explanation because he will have to be the one to save his ass.

Leon, who doesn't bother to explain to anybody, knew the importance of having Dylan around him. It wasn't the first or second time, Leon went into the problem and ordered Dylan to clean up so he started speaking about what was going on in his mind.

"Aaron Rivas has a girlfriend, she came to the engagement today..."

Dylan wasn't sure if he should be happy to know Leon is aware of Ava Kelly and Aaron Rivas's relationship. But if he knew, why is he attacking the innocent?

Leon who was watching Dylan's every expression found nothing special so he continued, "Aaron Rivas exited the hall with that girl but she isn't Ava Kelly..."

Dylan's lips twitched hearing him. He clearly saw Aaron taking care of her while she completely entrusted herself to him.

How the hell did Leon come to that conclusion?

"How are you so sure? Ava Kelly's best friend is Shawn Rivas and it's easier for her to be with President Rivas." He asked in a different way to know how Leon came to that judgment.

Leon laughed hysterically hearing the confused tone of Leon. "Exactly." He said and stood up. He was satisfied to know Dylan wasn't accepting it easily instead of being certain.

Dylan didn't know how his response answered the question he asked Leon. Anyway, it wasn't the first time Leon speaking what he wants instead of what is needed.

It doesn't mean Leon likes to talk in riddles, it is because he hides the evil plans of his so that the plan shouldn't be leaked out to anybody.

Walking to the windows of the study room, Leon smirked admiring his own way of dealing with the things. His wounds had dressed and he was in a new set of clothes.

He voiced whatever he had guessed about Ava's plan, "Either Ava Kelly is really the girlfriend of Aaron Rivas or she is trying to create coincidence with Aaron Rivas so that I make an erroneous mistake."

If Ava Kelly is on the second plan, Leon didn't want to provoke Aaron Rivas and the Rivas family. Even though he knew the Rivas family became stronger after Aaron took the crown, Leon still tried to know the power they held.

The Rivas family wasn't just powerful, they had too deep connections with the military, business, and a few of the strong families who got medically treated by them. If Leon wasn't wrong, none would back down to support them when needed.

So mindlessly going against Aaron or the Rivas family is stupidity. He needs a solid reason with proof and a perfect plan to stand against the sleeping dragon which he had almost disturbed.

Dylan: "..."

He really wanted to smack Leon's head and say she is really Aaron's girlfriend and she wasn't creating any coincidences. Never mind, he wanted Leon to be insane and waste all his resources.

Without knowing, Dylan was walking the path which Aarvi was designed to test him on. He was slowly earning the trust he needed from Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans. So he will indeed get the chance to meet her soon.

Leon turned to Dylan and continued in confidence, "If she is thinking I will attack Aaron Rivas and she could see my demise by him, I am not going to lay a finger on him."

Leon really feels that is the deadliest plan. He didn't know Ava Kelly was avenging with her own power.

Dylan merely raised his brow hearing Leon's overconfident deduction. If Ava Kelly really wanted to let Aaron attack Leon Harmon, the latter would have faced the demise far too soon.

Clenching his fist, Leon's knuckles drummed on the desk when he revealed, "I have a different plan for Aaron Rivas. The storm will hit the proud Rivas family." He didn't reveal the plan that left Dylan hanging.

Anyway, that still didn't answer Dylan's main concern. The surgeon general's life is at stake. Dylan can't help anybody as Leon's eyes hardly leave him as he is aware of the coming plan against the Surgeon general.

*Surgeon general - A military surgeon with a military rank.
