The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 703 - His Targets

At MOM,

Bone chillingly calm, Aaron was taking a stroll looking at the various vases. The salesgirl wanted to speak with the handsome man. Help him choose if possible sell lots of vases to him but she was scared to get closer. He looked like he might kill someone if he was disturbed.

Aaron didn't want to choose something which would look ugly or pale with the amazing flowers Aarvi brings for him. So he took his own time to select the vase.

After a long time, his hand reached the transparent glass vase. His eyes grazed over the flawless finishing of the vase. He heard a mellow voice remarking on his selection, "That's a pretty vase, Doctor Rivas. But... a little small."

The lost smile from the night slowly crept upon his face. Despite having confidence in her, he just couldn't stop himself from worrying about her. Now that she escaped, his heart eased up, his body relaxed.

Aaron placed the small vase back on the shelf and his arm reached the woman who wanted to assure him that she was alright and her plan splendidly worked.

He turned to his wife who had no hair out of place. There was no dot of sweat either. "Could the pretty lady help me pick the right size of the vase?" His deep flirty tone brought a beautiful smile to her face.

"It's my pleasure, my dear husband." She picked the same design in medium size. The crystal glass vase was beautiful. She liked his choice.

"Pack this please," Aarvi asked the salesgirl who identified the handsome man and elegant lady. She took the vase, giving a small bow to the couple, especially Aarvi as she was the owner of MOM.

Alex paused at the door and breathed out deeply, looking at the couple. He and Roach looked at each other and sighed in silence. They knew well that Aarvi dropped by for a minute or two just to show her face to her husband when she could have just made a call.

Roach questioned when the couple was busy. "What was the plan?" Her little plans were always amazing and also risky. He was curious because she always carries out the plan on her own.

Alex recalled in mind and deeply sighed.

The previous night, Aaron had lied to Aarvi so that she could sleep but she pointed out the lie easily. After she got to know, she added her plan with Aaron's protection.

When the car entered the alleyway, Aarvi got out of the car and hid aside. The hiding person on the shotgun seat shifted quickly and drove away the car creating a perfect pit for the men at the end of the alleyway.

Aarvi walked out of the alleyway and got into her SSC Tuatara which Alex was driving. He was going towards Harmon Industries but she wanted to see Aaron.

Roach wasn't surprised when he heard she got off at the alleyway smoothly. He was impressed yet again.

Both men looked at the couple, giving the goodbye hug with lots of nagging. They got to know the couple was leaving the country soon. They kind of started to miss working for them already.

"Your safety…"

Aarvi cut in, "Comes first." She kissed him on his cheek unbothered about the eyes, "I will settle things at Harmon Industries and come to you."

Aaron stopped nagging and let her go with Alex. His eyes fell on Roach who looked grim as if somebody took away the purpose of his life. Aaron ignored him.

At Harmon mansion,

Before Leon could act on his decision and call the international number, he heard the commotion outside his office. His secretary's voice could be heard trying to fight those shareholders but anyway, everyone barged inside his office room.

Soon his office was filled with grim middle-aged to old men. The flow of people didn't stop until his room looked like a crowded elevator. Leon's expression changed from panic to cold and dominating.

"President Harmon, what is going on?" The voice had bewilderment and confusion.

"President Harmon, we need an answer for your negligence right now." The man slapped Leon's table.

"Did you make a deal with President Cornbell to loot our money?" Suspicion was clear in the words.

"How are you going to deal with the losses?" Worried one, cared about the money.

"You sure are selling away the company, don't you?" Exasperated one

"Is this how you are running the business? You are unfit to be in this position." A middle-aged man growled. However, he trembled when Leon's deathly glare shot at him.

He couldn't stop everyone, the questions poured out. Leon clenched his teeth and watched everyone. He could hardly make out the words as everyone was voicing together.

He picked the intercom receiver and clicked on numbers ignoring the unbearable noise in the officer. He ordered as soon as it was answered, "Send the security." His voice was cold and audible to everyone.

The shareholders looked at each other hearing Leon's voice. If it was in the past when Harmon Industries was doing good, they would have feared him. They had feared Leon all these years. But not anymore. They were infuriated as they had all the right to be there and question him. So their words got louder and harsher.

However, Leon didn't open his mouth. He sat on the brown leather chair, merely watching them like there was a boring drama going on. He appeared like he had everything in control.

Slowly but surely, the shareholders started slowing down because their throats hurt and Leon seemed to be confident.

The ten men in security uniform entered the office and stood by the door looking at Leon after a bow. The latter instructed as he sat straight and pretended like he was busy with work by looking at the file, "My office room isn't a fish market. Send them to the conference room." He sounded composed but there was a hint of irritation as though those people disturbed his peaceful time.

The shareholders saw the security cover them from all sides and lead men in the front pointing them out to proceed. They looked at Leon again, "President Harmon, don't you dare think of locking us in there." Because Leon was capable of it.

A few added their agreement in chorus.

Another one commented looking at Leon not paying any attention to them, "Chairman Harmon is on the way, presi- Leon Harmon. You better behave."

Leon lifted his head and noted, it was the same middle-aged man who called him unfit. Leon could already imagine what would happen in the conference room. This middle-aged man would lead the opinion of the other shareholders. He wasn't sure if Aarvi was behind that man so he had the audacity or his true face just came up.

His main focus was Chairman Harmon, his grandfather. Aarvi was giving his grandfather a free dinner. Aarvi was controlling Leon, giving Elder Harmon a chance to remove Leon from the company, and convinced Aeon to take charge. Elder Harmon just needs to enter the company, state his opinion, get the majority, pass the orders.

Leon had limited time to get a majority in his favor. Without giving up, as soon as those men left, he quickly opened the list of shareholders with their contact information and any secret if they had.

He started making calls to the shareholders who he had noticed being silent, keeping their opinion to themselves and the ones who had big secrets to hide. They were his targets.. He was confident he could handle this.
