Aarav's car was hit from behind. Aarav was still unable to do anything after his car, which had not yet stopped its speed, experienced bad brakes. As a result, Aarav's car spun around three times until it stopped and hit the road divider. The engine was dead. Aarav and Marcolin were still stunned in their seats. Neither of them could move. The car hit so hard from behind that Aarav thought the back of the car must have been damaged. Whether it would be badly damaged or not. Aarav's breathing was irregular as his heart rhythm was faster than usual. All this time, Aarav was trying to digest what had just happened. From Benzala's warning to the fact that he and Marcolin had seen the headlights on the front of someone's car. Now, Aarav's car was facing the opposite direction of the lane - directly opposite someone's car. The headlights were still shining on Aarav's car, and it was annoying because it dazzled his eyes. "Who exactly did you hit?" Marcolin was finally able to speak. His
"I didn't get orders from anyone to follow you." In the midst of his anxiety because he was caught following Richard, Aarav still tried to answer. Her voice and gaze were very calm, a complete contrast to the way Richard was looking at her at that moment.Aarav steps slowly closer to Richard raising his hands low. A penknife had been tucked into his coat pocket, deliberately so as not to create a tense situation. Aarav only stopped when he and Richard were three steps apart."Put down the weapons of your bodyguards" Aarav ordered firmly but still quietly "I have no intention of attacking you."Richard looked at Aarav with a disdainful smile. As if not believing what Aarav just said."Not going to attack me?" Richard asked, unwilling to believe it. "What a lie. Wouldn't someone be willing to follow such a lonely path if it wasn't for a specific purpose?"Aarav lowered his hands slowly, in between that he watched the bodyguards around Richard. They were all still pointing their guns at
The sound of roaring cars could be heard faintly from the direction where Aarav and Marcolin had arrived moments ago. All attention was drawn to the lamborghini car whose engine sounded as if it had been deliberately revved up. The headlights of the car shone so clearly that everyone, including Aarav and Marcolin, immediately squinted. "Who else is coming?" Richard stopped walking and watched the direction of the car's arrival with annoyance. Aarav, in between putting one hand in front of his face, looked at who was about to get out of the car. Gradually the sound of the car's engine died as the car stopped near Richard's bodyguards. "Benzala," Aarav said softly, guessing who was in the car. It was clearly Benzala's car as the car's headlights slowly faded. Shortly afterwards, the figure of Benzala, who Aarav had been talking about, came out with a dashing gesture. His gaze wandered around as he stood for a moment, letting everyone make him the center of attention. "It's so crow
"What do you want exactly?" The question came out of Richard's mouth after Aarav turned on the lights in this small room. The light was dim. Very slowly, Aarav walked over to Richard who was tied to the only shabby chair here. His gaze was sharp, deliberately showing that he wasn't in the mood to play around. Moments ago, Benzala's guards had defeated Richard's guards. In the middle of the fight Richard escaped with two of his bodyguards. But luckily Aarav, Benzala, and Marcolin were able to chase Richard's car to catch him. "If I tell you what I want, can you give me that?" asked Aarav, stopping walking exactly three steps in front of Richard. Richard's sharp eyes watched Aarav. His face was upturned because of the height distance between them. Richard showed that he did not want to surrender to Aarav, despite the bruises on his face. It was his fight with Aarav before being caught and brought to this room that made his face look like that. Richard laughed wryly while scowling
Aarav felt the thrill of being challenged after hearing Richard say that his method of interrogation was trivial. Actually, Aarav wanted to come up with a method that would make Richard submit instantly. It was just that he didn't want to be too hasty and intended to create an atmosphere that Richard was afraid of. He wanted Richard to know who he was dealing with. Aarav was not someone to be trifled with. That was what he wanted to emphasize to Richard. "Do you want me to use another method?" asked Aarav as his body position straightened. Aarav then stretched the tie on his shirt while smiling a grin. "Do you really want me to make you submit?" Richard looked at Aarav still through a trivial gaze. What Aarav had said earlier did not make him feel intimidated at all. Although the four printed photos that Aarav had shown earlier had made Richard somewhat worried. "I'm used to facing more threats than what you're doing now," Richard said later. "If you knew what I've faced, you wou
Navy Pier 32. Aarav and Benzala's car stopped right by the parked container trucks. The view of the harbor was eerily quiet at half past twelve this evening greeting Aarav, Marcolin, and Benzala. There was no crowd in sight so Aarav searched for the whereabouts of the people Richard was referring to. "Where are they going to do the transaction?" Aarav asked Marcolin as he looked around. Marcolin, who was holding the steering wheel of the car, also lowered his head to look for details. "I don't think they would do a transaction in an easily accessible area like this," Marcolin said in response to Aarav's question. On the other hand, Marcolin was very sure that the transaction was carried out not far from where he was. Aarav activated the earpiece connection in his ear after being unable to connect with Benzala. Benzala's car was already beside his, but Aarav didn't want them to get off just yet. "Benzala, have you seen my bodyguard who was here earlier?" Aarav asked Benzala as h

Especially when knowing the total crime records recorded. For a man with such a dashing appearance-despite looking like he was sixty years old, all formal with a brown scarf, sunglasses like a boss, it was impossible to have only a few crime records. Aarav's eyes squ
Aarav could not hold back any longer. The roar of several cars came from behind. It was faint at first, but gradually the roar of the cars became clearer. A beam of headlights emanated from behind Aarav, shining right at Yokizo and his guards. In front of Aarav, the arrival of the cars made Yokizo immediately stunned in disbelief. Gradually, the corners of his lips curved into a smirk mocking Aarav. Yokizo laughed while clapping his hands. "Oh my. No wonder I'm feeling awkward because you came out of nowhere!" Yokizo exclaimed in between laughing unexpectedly. Aarav still didn't move. He could still hear the continuous roar of the cars-from faint to clearer as they approached him. Actually, he didn't know how many cars were coming. It was because his focus at that time was to immediately take down Yokizo and his bodyguards. Aarav's brain worked to estimate all possibilities. If tonight's plan was successful, then he would be able to provoke those in power over Yokizo to appear. F
