The Traps of Black Swan

Leon was confident his next deadlock plan would be a success he had designed for Susan Parkinson, so his team members were extra confident.

As soon as the message [M] was received, at a course of distance from the first attack point, a large truck that was entering the ring road had ambiguously stuck on the road horizontally blocking all the vehicles on one way of the road.

Since it was the work-off time and there were a high number of people who frequently traveled on the ring road, it didn't take long before the road was getting filled with cars, company buses, and other trucks.

Right after the road was successfully blocked and the team relayed the live update to Leon through the same message group, [Road block completed. Waiting for the car.]

They were expecting to shine in the glory but didn't know it was the biggest mistake.

The Rivas team wasn't only ready with their location by arriving early, they witnessed the purposeful roadblock. Now they have to take care of the men in the truck and people who were standing on the dune.

Other than waiting behind Leon's team, Rivas security was also on the road just around the car of Susan Parkinson. Despite knowing where the team is standing to shoot, the team wasn't sure if Leon's men were following the car.

If Leon's men were following, why didn't they attack the moving car yet?

Is it because of road security cameras? Then, when did they start worrying about the cameras?

The Rivas security team who were around at a good distance from Susan's car became more alert if in case Leon had different plans.

Focusing back on the current trap, they have to block the view of the shooter to the car. It could only be done by a large vehicle like a bus or another truck.

A person from the car that was in front of Susan's car soon alighted followed by the driver and started pretending to be monitoring the traffic.

Susan's car driver, who was on the right lane, saw a person guiding him to the left lane while another was pointing to all the large vehicles to go right. That way, the shooter who was ready to shoot 'Susan' hissed in irritation.

As soon as the Rivas security got to know about the roadblock, they had also informed the Highway Patrol department hence the nearest vehicle didn't take long to reach there.

The two officers snapped the blocked truck driver and threw him to the patrol vehicle to test for a drunk driving case. Or else how could a large truck freeze horizontally in the middle of the road?

Meanwhile, on the dune, the two men heard strong footsteps just when they were cursing for plan failure. Feeling threatened by seeing the muscle men walking towards them, the shooter quickly aimed at them, "Who are you two?"

A man answered in his husky voice, "Citizens trekking up the hill." They were too cool even when the gun was pointing at them.

Leon's men: "..."

It was a non-resident and non-agricultural area and people hardly went there. It wasn't even a hill but a small dune.

It took a few seconds for Leon's men to realize the firearm in their hand wasn't scaring the muscly men, "Shoot them."

The shooter was about to press the trigger, a stone of a few pounds hit the forehead of the shooter very accurately. Instead of running away, the other man bravely took the gun thinking to kill them. Anyway, those two men had leaped right next to him.

'Crack'

With the two dislocated arms, another one ended up on the ground bawling his eyes out.

The road was cleared by the patrol officer and a message of [M] was sent to Leon's men group.

This time the road safety for Susan's car increased by the Rivas security team.

…

In the banquet hall,

Eyes red burning with failure, Leon couldn't believe such a foolproof plan was wasted again. He dialed the number of the truck driver and hissed in not so low voice, "What the f*uk did happen?"

The driver was sitting in the patrol car looking at the officers driving the truck aside when he answered the call. He whispered quickly in the fright of another officer taking away his mobile, "Boss, the highway patrol vehicle was close by and the YYY company employee bus had covered the Surgeon general car due to a block of the road."

Leon realized he didn't make a foolproof plan, he hadn't thought what to do if the car was in a different lane.

The anger was burning his veins, he started trembling for his failure plans. Clenching his teeth, he tried to convince himself that the next plan would work but it was doing no help to him.

Leon hung up the call and quickly messaged the group instead of calling two members. [Team 1 and 2, quickly follow the car and attack. Leave your vehicle in the suburbs and hide.]

Leon hadn't organized anybody to follow the car on the road to attack Susan in the prior planning because he didn't want to leave any trace as the military will quickly follow up the culprit due to Susan's identity.

Now he didn't care, he was ready to sacrifice everyone from the plan but didn't want to see his plan fail again.

After messaging, he slammed his mobile on the table startling Eliza who was feeling hard to keep her composure due to his venomous oppressing air around.

She wanted to run away from him but it was more dangerous so she unknowingly grabbed the flute which had white wine and drowned it before even realizing what it was.

Her thoughts broke at the taste of alcohol. Her eyes were terror-stricken, her face paled as a sheet, the glass slipped from her hand for breaking Leon's orders. The man who wasn't indifferent when he broke the glass, glared at Eliza who quivered in fear.

Dylan was noticing each change of Leon, as soon as witnessing Leon's murderous gaze, he couldn't stop himself from saving Eliza, "Brother Leon, the banquet." He least wanted Eliza to bear the wrath of Leon.

Dylan really felt bad for Eliza but he can't help her openly as Leon would punish her for that too.

Leon's back stiffened hearing Dylan. It had gone out of his mind where he was sitting. His eyeballs started shaking thinking about his falling mask before he smiled at Eliza in concern.

He was back to the doting, loving husband that the world knew.

On the other end, Aaron checked the menu of the soups in the kitchen. The chefs were confused, they didn't know who he was, "Sir, the starters are arranged in the hall at the buffet corner. Please serve yourself over there."

Aaron didn't respond and chose the soup that would be light for Aarvi's stomach. Roach grabbed a tray, while Aaron took a small bowl for soup and placed it on the tray before going to other starters.

A waiter who entered inside gasped looking at Aaron personally serving himself in the kitchen. He was quick to recover from the shock while chefs were too alert, afraid that the imposing man will put something to the food.

"P-president R-Rivas, p-please let me serve you." He stuttered and rushed to hold the plate that was in Aaron's hand but the latter raised his other hand to decline.

The chefs who were suspicious quickly bowed and greeted the man.

Under the astonishment of the chefs and waiters, Aaron held the tray and was leaving the kitchen but his face turned dark, and jerked aside being careful about the food tray.

Roach who was right behind Aaron realized the trouble in the front swung his hand before he could even see the attacker.

'Pow'
