The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 646 - A Knight In A Shining Armour

At AV road, Aeon had left the villa as soon as possible. He drove his sedan as fast as he could, having no idea about the situation. When he reached the road, the road was deserted. The AV road was also known as the book street. Since it was dark at eleven in the night, barely any shops were open. 

Getting off the car, he looked around to know if he had to go somewhere. Found no clue. He contemplated before dialing Aarvi's number, to ask where she is or where he should meet her exactly.

But he heard her number was busy and a message was received from an unknown number. [Five minutes.] And nothing else.

Aeon guessed it must be from Aarvi. He waited, leaning on the car while thinking why Aarvi was so cold and in haste. He could only sum up as there is some trouble.

Soon he caught sight of a black sports car zooming out of the darkness. The speed of the car raced his heart. He always hires stunt masters to drive so fast if it was required in the movies he directs. It looked like a video game looking at the car overtaking every vehicle in front of it.

He almost gasped when the car jerked to halt right in front of him. The window was rolling down when he heard the known voice, "Hop on."

He had to lower his head to peek inside the car and saw Aarvi look too cool to believe his eyes. There was no hair out of place or a slight change in her expression. His eyes brushed over her face but found no dot of sweat. It was like driving at that speed was a piece of cake to her.

Without wasting time, he got in the car and heard her commands in her unemotional tone, "Seat belt." Meanwhile, she rolled the window shield up at his side.

Aeon didn't know if he should be in awe of her or the car. In and out, the car was as sexy and attractive as her. When he buckled the seat belt, it created a slight 'clack' noise and he heard, "Hold on." And the car sped on the street like they were on a race car track.

"E-asy…" The word slipped off his lips unawarely. That was too fast to begin. He had been with Sean who crazily drives but this was something he never expected Aarvi to do, out of all.

Aarvi didn't spare him an eye. She was too occupied to care about looking anywhere. She was also glad it was nighttime with fewer vehicles on the road. 

Easy? If she takes everything easy, Leon would be feasting on her, torturing her again. She responded monotonously, "Not when my husband is in danger." She was aware she was using Aeon so she thought he had the right to know the reason behind her actions.

Aeon's fingers clenched the seatbelt, understanding Leon attacked Aaron to have Aarvi. He didn't know if he cared about Aaron's safety or just Aarvi or both. He felt powerless to do anything for Aarvi to help her and was disgusted by his brother more and more.

He spoke after a few seconds when she was driving the car towards the outskirts of the city, "Are we going to save President Rivas?" 

Despite asking, he doubted that. He was no use for Aarvi and he was aware of it. She had a team, he had seen a Bugatti following them so he wanted to know why he was with her. He least wanted to be a hindrance.

He saw Aarvi smirk hearing him before her words came out. "My husband doesn't need a knight." If she aimed to save Aaron, she wouldn't be going towards the Harmon mansion. 

Unlike the indifference or serene smile, she had confidence and certainty speaking of Aaron. Aeon looked at the road watching how easily she was gliding away without jerks or sudden brakes on the road.

He thought, 'If she isn't going to save Aaron Rivas, where is she…' He again turned to Aarvi with his orbs widening in horror, "Harmon Mansion!!"

Meantime, Leon's man who was driving the car took the deviation away from the main road that routes to Rivas hospital. Shawn and Aaron heard the clicking sound of metals behind them. Their senses heightened.

Shawn had expected the same old chloroform to make them unconscious. If they were going to hit their head to make them unconscious, they wouldn't only be hurt, the post effects are unknown. Each one reacts differently. 

Since the car gives less space for swinging whatever the man was holding, brothers knew they wouldn't be unconscious. So Leon's men will have to hit them multiple times. And they will lose control over the situation.  Hence it wasn't the time to be unconscious yet.

The brothers thought about how to distract them. Aaron suddenly turned behind and the man hid the thing whatever he was holding and forced a fake smile.

Shawn chose about the deviation they took, "Park Avenue road? Is this a shortcut to the hospital?" Well, his words were for Roach to bring them a car quickly.

Both successfully delayed the attack and diverted those men's attention. When the driver noticed the man behind didn't complete the work, he clenched his teeth in dissatisfaction and lied, "Yeah, there is traffic on that road."

The brothers knew it wasn't enough to keep the last man distracted. So one voluntarily chose to speak and the other one looked for the firearms they might be holding.

"Are you alright? You are sweating so much?" Aaron behaved like a doctor.

Shawn noticed there was a handgun with the man next to him. He couldn't see with the driver but the man at the front seat was bearing it. As for the man behind him, he was sure Aaron would take note of it.

He placed three fingers on Aaron's backhand in the shape of L and tapped two fingers, indicating who was dangerous. 

At the same time, Aaron noticed another car behind the car they were inside. They need to handle another car full of people.

The man who got the question became nervous when Aaron's gaze sharped. He swallowed nervously. After all, they weren't the people he could afford to offend. He stuttered, "Y-Yeah… I-I am fine."

Aaron ignored the response, turning front and patted Shawn sending him the cue, "You need to wait till it's empty."

The man behind him was confused while Shawn understood they have to hold their horses until they see the road empty.

Why will Leon's man work on the brothers' clock? He struck at Shawn's head with all his might. Instantly, the car was filled with the groans of pain and Leon's men smirked in delight without looking back.

Two seconds back, Aaron had his attention behind him. As soon as he sensed the movements, his eyes turned predatory and reacted immediately. He pressed Shawn down with his left hand and held the iron bar in his right before it could touch Shawn's head.

He forcefully snatched the iron bar and swung on the head of the man who was next to Shawn. The groans filled the car. A smile appeared on the two men's faces in front while the man behind the brothers was paled witnessing the turn of events.

Shawn fetched the handgun man dropped and recoiled it have control over those men.

Aaron needed to get rid of another handgun bearer so he didn't pause for even a split second. The smile on those men's faces vanished as soon as Aaron proceeded and snapped the head of the man who was on the shotgun seat.

Before Aaron could handle the man at the backseat, 'Snap.'

Shawn tried to sit to take care of the driver with the handgun he was holding but he stilled when he heard a bullet sound echo at his ear.. His body turned cold and his heart shuddered violently when he heard Aaron's heavy breath and Aaron's hand slipped off him.
