YM778.TV Chapter 656 - His Last Breath
Aarvi\'s attention was on Leon\'s movements. So when she sensed him standing up and take steps, she threw the dagger before he could cross the sofa.
Leon paused at the right time when it pierced the couch right in front of him. Incensed, he pulled the same dagger and threw at her with perfect aim but Aarvi had expected it.
Aarvi who silently took the first-aid box lid from the sous-chef blocked the knife at ease. Taking the dagger to her hand, She played with the knife skillfully.
Aeon gulped looking at her hands. His eyes didn\'t move afraid she will cut herself.
Aarvi walked towards Leon who didn\'t dare to peel his eyes away from her. He knew she will throw it at him if he moved.
."Leon Harmon…" Her voice had weight and a deadly warning. There was no anxiety or fright. She was back to her real serenity. Her expression was so peaceful and confident that, everyone could guess she had everything under her control. "From the time I saw you after I woke from comatose, my only aim is to uproot you."
"Two years of planning, Leon Harmon. Come on, don\'t underestimate me so much."
Why wouldn\'t she plant spies around him? Not just him, she was tracking Dylan, President Dawson, and another one too.
Leon\'s gaze shifted to his sous-chef. For a moment he thought if she hired a chef to be a spy or trained one man to be a chef. He could remember one thing, sous-chef joined two years ago. He never butted in and did his work in the kitchen most of the time. Even the butler was bullying him with more work, yet he was bearing everything in silence.
\'Butler?\' Leon\'s eyes sparkled thinking butler was alive as he wasn\'t around.
The sous-chef who saw his reaction could guess it while Aarvi was alarmed thinking she might be unaware of something. The sous-chef addressed Leon sarcastically, "Master, I am sorry to say that I have overdosed your butler." His mocking tone crumbled Leon\'s dream.
\'Overdosed?\' Aarvi glanced at him as she took another dagger from Alex.
The sous-chef promptly responded, "He always tortured me, Boss. I had to put him at the place first."
Aarvi gave a nod in response as she crossed her legs sitting on the single armchair. The Shadow team stood by her like pillars, glaring daggers at Leon. They were craving to beat him but clenched their teeth and watched him.
Leon gulped looking at the dagger in her hand and her men had grabbed his men\'s daggers, just to hand her if she needed. One thing he realized, she was specially trained to use knives and she might not be proficient with handguns. Her aims were very precise.
How is that information useful when he was their prey?
Leon tried again to dominate the situation, "Don\'t forget I have your husband and friend."
"Really!?" Aarvi asked in astonishment as she looked around. She even tried to look under the center table and sofa, "I can\'t see them." She sounded like a disappointed child who missed her candy.
The Shadow team and Aeon really didn\'t want to laugh but they couldn\'t hold back looking at her acting.
Leon fished his mobile and dialed his men\'s number. Aarvi yawned feeling sleepy waiting for him to get some news. It had crossed twelve in the midnight anyway.
When Leon paled, Aarvi dialed Aaron\'s number. She put it on speaker for Leon to listen. She spoke first once he answered, "Ronron, where are you? I am soo sleepy." She spoke like a spoiled wife.
At the other end, Aaron smiled hearing her. The hint of worry about her safety and to reach her soon vanished. His gentle, doting voice sounded, "Cupcake, I will pick you up in less than five minutes. Are you done with your playing?"
Aeon and Leon: "..."
Aarvi hummed pretending to be thinking, "Since I have five minutes, shall I play a little more?" She sweetly asked for permission.
"Then I will let you have fun." Aaron\'s indulgent voice ended with the call.
The Shadow team felt no special. Aeon thought there couldn\'t be a better one for Aarvi than Aaron, he was happy for her. Leon smashed his mobile in ire.
Leon glared at her fiercely. Killing him felt better than this frequent humiliation. He had assumed the couple was stronger together. Then he thought Aaron was stronger. Now he failed to stand against her when she was alone.
Meanwhile, Aarvi thought about how to have fun. An idea flashed in her mind. She video called Shawn to show him his lessons weren\'t going to waste. She added Zain to calm him by seeing Leon\'s state.
At the same time, Aarvi asked Aeon as she pointed the coach for him to sit, "President Harmon, have you ever watched knife play at a circus?"
Leon furrowed. He had expected her to repeat how he had tried to humiliate her - Kneeling and begging.
Aeon understood her plan so he didn\'t respond to the question, "I would… love to watch it." He started speaking looking at her and ended looking at Leon.
Leon\'s chest was rising and falling. His irregular breathing pattern was so obvious. He was clenching his fist afraid of showing his weakness. But the fear was obvious in his eyes. He wasn\'t daring to blink.
Aeon could feel, Leon wasn\'t terrified to no return. Leon had some hope. He glanced at Aarvi and guessed it might be because she won\'t kill Leon. However, there was a limit to everything. She might kill him if he endangers her.
"Leon Harmon, go, stand by the wall." She unexpectedly sounded politely asked him to do as she asks.
Leon scoffed but didn\'t move. Seeing him unmoving, she pretended to be disappointed with a long sigh, "It\'s not time for good people." As if she was good.
"Don\'t fight guys, just tie him up." She motioned for the Shadow team to go ahead.
The sous-chef grabbed the ropes while the four men went to Leon. They wanted to trap the sheep and prepare the sheep for slaughtering without any drama.
Leon could fight four of them but they were going just hold him. "Four on one." He snickered scornfully.
Aarvi felt it was ludicrous to listen from Leon. "Speaks the coward." He had set thirty on five.
Leon didn\'t give in easily. They scuffled, he tried to hit them but at the end, four pressed him to the ground, without putting a single bruise on him. The sou-chef tied the two hands separately and then Leon was tied to the wall with the ropes to the hooks.
I hall was too vast. So Aarvi thought to take a few steps closer. Alex followed her with knives and left them on the center table while holding her mobile to record Leon with her in the frame.
"Shhhh…" Aarvi shushed Leon when he was struggling to break the tie, "Do you want your blood to spill?"
Milo Wen was with Shawn when he was going to drop Shawn at Skyarc. He became super curious hearing Aarvi\'s sneer. Shawn gave in looking at the pleading gaze of Milo Wen and both watched.
Zain\'s eyes were rather on the men who were lying on the floor. They didn\'t seem to be beaten. He could hear the snoring of men. "Are they all sleeping?"
Alex responded, "Yes, Mr. Kelly."
The three at the other end burst into laughter. She was completely opposite to what they would do in her position. They were kind of proud that she doesn\'t kill people like a bloodlust animal, yet she has her way.
They saw Aarvi turn to them and puff her cheeks, squinting her eyes at them. They fell silent instantly.
She gave heads up to Leon, "Look, I am sleepy. If you move, don\'t cry to me saying I hurt you." Before she could finish her words, she decisively spun the dagger towards Leon.
Leon\'s heartbeat shot up at the speed of her racing car. He dare not move from his spot. He squeezed his eyes shut, held his breath which could be his last breath.
The spectators held their breath in anticipation. Alex had to get a little closer to Leon for the other three men to see clearly. They opened their eyes wide to see how accurate her aim was.
