The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 378 - Retreat

'Get me the best psychiatrist in the town.'

Dylan was surprised because he had suggested it to him a few times due to his bad temper and also he always felt Leon a psychopath anyway but Leon never heard of him.

Dylan felt it's too late for treatment as it takes a long time to get the required result.

Hearing Leon's words, 'Cancel all my schedules and handle yourself.' Dylan really wanted to ask, 'Are you hiding from Ava Kelly? Coward.'

But it was really difficult to understand what Leon was up to. If Dylan sees him busy with office work he could have thought Leon wasn't planning anything but now, Dylan could only hope Leon doesn't pull any stunt and put him in a difficult position to clean up the mess.

In reality, Leon didn't want to do anything. He didn't want to give any chance to Ava Kelly to attack him. He will show her as he was accepting the defeat and locked himself in the mansion.

When her guard falls down, he will silently obtain the chemical manufacturing plant and the island resort project.

He will let her rack her brain till that as he will have nothing major to lose in the business.

When he returns, he will make her cry and beg him at his feet. His lips sneered before settling. Now his main focus will be focusing on his treatment.

Before he could grab that peace of mind, Dylan asked, "Brother Leon, what about sister-in-law? Any instruction on it? What if...?"

Leon grunted cutting off Dylan's words. Opening his eyes, he gritted his teeth and the relaxing air suddenly turned menacing, "She won't dare to go to the police."

Dylan knew Eliza would never go against Leon due to the Lane family under Leon.

Hearing nothing more, Dylan understood Eliza would live with Aeon and Sean for a few days. He looked towards the road before it flashed to him, "What happened to Susan Parkinson?" He sounded indifferent.

Leon literally wanted to throw Dylan out. Just when he thought nothing would go wrong, he was reminding him of his failure.

But yeah, what is the status? He dialed his men's number to know the status.

....

The silent battlefield near the military regency,

Ben pulled his backpack in front and carefully unzipped the bag. Suddenly the silence filled with tiny noises.

'Squeak, squeak...'

His leather-gloved fingers held the tail of the rat and pulled it up. He whispered in the call, "The little master is out."

...

Confused Aarvi: "..."

Aarvi turned on the speaker as she shifted close to Aaron, "Who is this little master?" She asked muting her side.

'Squeak, squeak...'

Aaron and Aarvi's team girl said in almost unison but one's voice was calm and another one horrified, "That's a rat."

"Ahhh..." Aarvi's team girl squealed suddenly but the voice cut off while Aarvi tossed her mobile on Aaron as though she was holding the rat.

Aaron's one hand was in her hold and another hand was clutching the tablet, so he could only use his leg to minimize the damage of mobile so that her call doesn't end.

Aarvi then bit her tongue when he fetched the mobile and controlled laughing at her.

...

On the other end, the Rivas team ignored the girl's shriek. They had no plan to use animals, after reaching there and seeing the darkness, the two had successfully caught the rats there.

Now they were using it.

Leon's men took time before guessing there are rats in the field but they were all too cool. Their negligence was used by the Rivas team and they walked on the dried leaves while they thought rats were moving around.

The three riflemen had just turned around due to noise coming closer. Their eyes widened when they felt the shadow of men but didn't get the chance to make any sound.

One clutched the neck and one lifted them above the ground to avoid them creating any type of noise.

The chloroform was used to make the three men unconscious before they moved towards the five more men.

A military jeep was passing by the road so Leon's men were quick to hide behind the tree or lie down on the ground to avoid the jeep headlight flashing on their silhouette.

While doing so, they saw a few men hiding just like them but they foolishly assumed them as their team members.

The jeep left the secluded area and Leon's man uttered, "Get to the position guys." His commanding voice was loud.

Now the Rivas team had no worry about the sound so they were planning to seize the five members who were wielding two handguns each.

Just then, Rivas security two men who had gone towards the regency reported as they quickly reported, "Leon's men were caught and soldiers are directing here with firearms and night vision glasses."

'Night vision glasses.' Aarvi pressed between her brows while commanding, "RETREAT."

If military men see the gun wielded by even one, they will fire to limbs or other less life-threatening body parts to seize them alive.

As much as Leon's men were in danger, the Rivas Security men were at risk too. So she didn't think twice before aborting the mission.

The two men who were running back to the group pulled the bikes out which they had left in the bushes. Another two men hopped on their bikes.

The men who were towards the highway also rushed towards their vehicle without questioning or doubting Aarvi's decision.

The ones who were in the middle still holding the rats threw them on Leon's men which caused quite a commotion as they screamed to get rid of the rats from their body.

Using that disturbance to their advantage, the Rivas team was quick to run in the escape route making sure about the tree shadows without bumping into it.

Now they understood the importance of the escape route practically and why Aarvi was stressing to keep an escape route ready repeatedly.

When the two bikes were passing through from regency to highway, Leon's men had to hide so four men escaped without a trace as they reported to Aarvi.

[Four out of twenty.] He meant four are safe.

The men who had stopped Susan's car slowly accepted their mistake, apologized to the driver taking their time waiting to confirm twenty leave the place.

Then two cars majestically drove away with 10 more men while the one who was driving reported.

[Nine out of twenty.] He meant the previous 4 plus the new 5, a total of nine are safe.

Another one continued after him, [Fifteen out of twenty.]

The five who were in the center of the stretch were running away making sure they weren't making much noise and nobody was following them.

If they get caught, they have to voice the reason behind their presence in that location, which the military won't believe unless they reveal their identity. That will put Aarvi and the Rivas family in a difficult position.

Hence they have to hide their purpose to protect their masters. It will make the military assume that they were also part of the local thugs and Leon Harmon, present over there to kill some military officials.

They weren't only running for their lives, they had to keep their masters' identity safe too as it was a very private mission related to the Surgeon general.

They were still running when the military men spread out and wearing their night vision glasses through which they can easily spot the animals and humans' location and their movements.
