YM778.TV Chapter 372 - Lost Focus
According to Leon\'s orders, his men\'s cars indeed followed Susan Parkinson\'s car but the difference was his men were unconscious or powerless lying in the trunk of the car.
The Rivas security men drove the car leisurely taking their own time. They were just pretending as Leon\'s orders were being followed but in reality, Susan\'s car security increased more.
After the so-called \'Missing the target\' repetition, there was only one last attack location left. Susan\'s car driver drove the car without being aware of how many people were ready to kill him just to reach Susan.
Aarvi knew she could have done the same thing with Susan in the car but that would be underestimating Leon and she wasn\'t ready to take any chances with her life.
So why not being double careful?
But still, Aarvi would gladly give all the credits to Rivas security men. She had instructed them without hiding what and why they were doing, she had guesstimated the possible location but asked them to judge too.
Other than going to the extra three places, The Rivas teams had reached the right locations and caught Leon\'s men in action.
Now the important and most crucial stretch was the deserted road where vehicles hardly pass and the area had abandoned factories where it would be easier to store weapons and attack.
Aarvi didn\'t want anybody from Rivas security to be injured so she had strictly instructed them to be very careful explaining the danger they were stepping in. Even though she hadn\'t shown the worrisome, the team of twenty were confident and determined to solve it.
How much ever she changed, she still cared for the life of good people so she was edgy in this stretch just like Leon Harmon. But the contrast was, she wanted people to be safe and he wanted to kill. He no more wants to bring Ava Kelly out but just to satisfy his ego.
Some of the Rivas men were hiding in thick branches of trees or some bushes waiting for people to reach.
The eerily silence had covered the area with the rustling of the tree leaves. It was dark everywhere other than the street lights at a regular distance. At the corner of the road, the street light was flickering without lighting or going dark.
The ground had dried fallen leaves that would cause the crushing noise if taken a single step. It was making it hard for the Rivas security men to move around easily.
The darkness, secluded area, fallen dry leaves, and the narrow trees, it was perfect for the attack. at the same time dangerous to disintegrate the attack.
Hence the team of twenty quickly discussed the plan without the problem of discrepancy between them. After deciding on their plan, they also decided to be flexible so that they could take action if something goes dangerously wrong.
They spread out at a good distance as the path stretch goes up to more than two hundred meters.
Time was ticking by and they got the message Susan\'s car entered the ring road. They had started doubting if Leon\'s men were really going to come when they saw a few cars halt.
Around ten members alighted the cars with four holding a long black box, which was obviously carrying the firearm. They looked like local rogues, unlike their trained team. That\'s the difference between thugs and the private army.
Leon never got to build his private army because he never got the chance and approval. Even though the local administration approved due to Leon\'s connections, the military never gave the consent as they had doubts about him.
Hence the Rivas security men felt they had the upper hand here assuming Leon\'s men might face the discord.
When the Rivas team was expecting others to alight but the doors closed and the car drove away towards the villa with around five or more.
The villa was present in regency which was specially reserved for military families for their safety. Yet the Rivas team kind of felt alarming as none of them went there to keep an eye.
They were thinking about how to solve it, meanwhile, Leon\'s men discussed something and pointed here and there in the darkness.
The Rivas team\'s primary plan, if one could silence anybody without making any sound, then doing it.
The five men went to one side of the road and another five opposite. The Rivas team carefully observed the men who were holding the black box were walking deep inside whereas those who didn\'t have the box were very close to the road.
The Rivas team had two problems to quickly solve. One; avoiding Leon\'s men entering the regency. Two; understand the plan of Leon\'s team who were mysteriously dividing themselves.
They had time to guess the plan of the men over there but they were helpless against the first problem. So they wanted to inform \'Madam Rivas\' aka Aarvi Evans.
The darkness prevented them from making a call as the mobile screen light would look bright even with lowered brightness. For the same reason, they weren\'t able to send text messages putting them in trouble which split their attention.
At the left side of the road, a man used the flashlight of his mobile to find the better location for him as he looked around the area. He kneeled on the ground placing the black box on the ground.
He leisurely took the AR-15 rifle out and positioned himself towards the road without having any idea a man was hanging reverse on the tree right above him.
The Rivas team man might try his best to reduce the possible noise while handling the man but it was impossible to be mute. So he needed some distraction for others to take action.
On the other end, another security man was right behind Leon\'s man with a tree between them. His first step would cause the noise so he too needed the distraction so that his footsteps won\'t give them any clue.
They didn\'t want anybody to escape so they were trying to be very careful.
Similarly a few wanted the distraction to change their position closer to the armed men. They had weapons with silencers but it wasn\'t only dark, the man would fall on the ground alerting the rest.
The atmosphere was too tense with sweat beads dripping from their foreheads. They realized they had indeed underestimated Leon, his plan, and his team who were very attentive.
So the main requirement - Distraction. One needed a way to contact Aarvi, the rest wanted a distraction to attack.
....
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall. Dax didn\'t fail to notice Leon\'s weird behavior and kept Shawn updated through messages.
They were having their own fun witnessing how their \'once upon a time innocent\' friend could play viciously on the man who is said to be poisonous to the core.
They wanted to know who is actually the venomous one.
Dax noticed Aeon getting more and more uncomfortable looking at Leon forcing Eliza to drink. Eliza had to control herself from puking out due to the drinking speed. Her eyes had already lost focus.
Dax brows started twitching before realizing the role of Aeon in Aarvi\'s game, saving Eliza. He was thinking to push Aeon to help Eliza but Aeon slammed the whisky glass on the table and stormed towards Leon\'s table.
An enticing smirk appeared on Dax\'s face as he propped his head on his hand watching Aeon\'s back, "Dum Dum\'s admirer is a man of principles." He murmured to himself.
