The Traps of Black Swan

Clark blurted out his distrust towards Aarvi and others, "Why should I trust you? What is your real motive behind everything?" Humans never do anything that doesn't benefit them. So he wasn't ready to believe she was magnanimous to help him and his team for nothing.

The rest rolled their eyes. They would have commended Clark if he was on guard against any other one. Even if Aarvi had her motive, it was clear that she was helping them instead. They turned to Aarvi thinking how she would convince him. Or will she change her plan?

Aarvi crossed her arms and mocked with a smile on her face, "Then slog your ass for three more years before the authority dismembers the group." She hit the pride and cued her team to leave.

Clark's face darkened significantly hearing her mention accurately that their group was created three years ago.

Dax and Shawn: "..."

Even though she doesn't misuse her power, they understood, she would never convince or request. Instead, she mercilessly twists the knife in the wound for not listening to her.

Aarvi walked out, with Alex leading her out. Shawn paused in front of Clark when he was passing by, "Civilian Asset!" He uttered coldly. He pressed his hands on the arms of the chair, looking down at the man. His dark, murderous gaze had delivered his message before his words sounded.

"The day I get pissed off with your mission," That is, if a slight danger hovers around Aarvi, "I will make sure none finds your embers." Shawn sneered. He wore his sunglasses and marched out of the room.

Clark definitely would have lost his teeth from grinding if they had stayed longer. Despite knowing they were secret armed forces, he couldn't believe they threatened him. It wasn't hard for him to hurt them, but it was easy for them to annihilate him and his team.

Clark's eyes fell on Dax, who was scowling at him. Dax's words were dipped with excessive ridicule when he opened his lips to speak, "Tsk, you like your subordinate." He just said to make Clark fume.

Clark clenched his teeth, balled his fist, trying his best to avoid lashing out. His chest was already aching; they would leave him handicapped if he lifted his hand against them.

His other three team members, who were sitting in the corner, looked at each other with their eyes wide. Now they understood the behavior of their chief.

Clark apprehended one thing. If Aarvi and her friends reached there by following his track the previous day from the club, how did they know Tia was from this team? However, his self-esteem and personality didn't allow him to ask Dax.

A cunning smile appeared on Dax's face as he challenged, "Then watch me playing her like my newfound toy."

"Dax Grant!!" Clark growled at him as he stood up. His body trembled in rage, which he won't be able to vent out at Dax. His face was dark as coal, craving to slit Dax's tongue. He knew the lifestyle of Dax. He won't be surprised if he throws Tia after enjoying some time with her. 

Clark indeed missed the details about Dax. He knew Dax's lifestyle but not his personality and emotions. Unfortunately, Tia could differentiate Dax's feelings, and an arrow Dax threw in the dark to get the truth out.

Hearing Clark's angry voice, looking at his extreme reaction, Dax was now more assured that Tia wasn't faking anything with him. Anyway, he was still mad at her. Mad? Probably upset. Upset? Dax wasn't even sure what he was feeling. 

Aarvi and Shawn, who were on the stairs, promptly made their way up to the door to watch their friend's show. Since Dax's voice was low, both hadn't heard him.

Dax's smile brightened to irritate the man as he decided to let him know the insider information. He took a step closer to Clark and pretended to be dusting his shirt at his shoulders. "Civilian Asset, heh? Now, deploy your team to save Tia from becoming a Civilian Asset for that drug dealer."

Shawn and Aarvi: "..."

Aarvi was changing her plan to keep Tia safe; however, Dax wanted Tia to be in trouble.

It sounded like Dax was helping the team to find the mastermind. In another way, he was tricking the team into realizing, Aarvi had offered them a beneficial deal.

Nonetheless, Clark and his team felt like one of them was going to kidnap Tia. Clark highly doubted that on Dax.

Clark sneered, thinking they didn't know well about Tia yet. And he added, "Then, save yourself." He warned him to be careful if he was planning to kidnap her.

Dax walked away, leaving his friends speechless and whatnot. Even if he was angry at Tia, isn't it a little too much to let Leon's men kidnap her? They will torture Tia and even molest her.

However, they didn't reveal any reaction in front of Clark. And Clark was planning to show the real side of Dax to Tia instead of thinking about keeping her safe.

----

Downstairs,  Dax plainly said, "We will go with your third plan Dum Dum." Then he hopped in the car as the people around the area were looking at them in awe.

Aarvi and Shawn could only leave from there.

....

At Skyarc Penthouse,

Leaving her friends at a restaurant for breakfast, Aarvi went to Skyarc penthouse to have breakfast with Aaron. The diehard follower of Aaron, Shawn, had already reported everything to Aaron as it was about her life.

So Aaron's face was dark as rainy clouds during a storm, and he ordered her without giving her a chance to rebuff. "Work from home or work from my office if you don't want to work from Skylar."

He would never leave her in a place that could threaten her life. They can't tell which person in disguise as a customer will attack her even if he gets rid of the potential threat.

Looking at his dark face, foul mood, she couldn't bring herself to retort. She also didn't want to make him worried every day by going to the flower shop. If she becomes adamant, he might allow her to go; he would silently take care of Clark and his team and wipe off the restaurant chain that made Tia reach her.

However, she still sulked, "You certainly liked to be there with me." Attending customers and spending time with each other, the four hours in the shop was relaxing and heartwarming. She would love to live that life.

Aaron's hand paused at her words. He understood she was going to listen to him. That was enough to keep his heart at ease. Her sullen face meant she would miss the time which they had spent together. He placed the juice glass down and cupped her face.

He didn't want to put restrictions on her. At the same time, he won't compromise or take a risk when it's a question about her life. His stern voice softened, looking at her dimmed eyes, "We will go there whenever you like."

Why should everything be on her accord? She always noticed him doing everything she wants and likes.

"What about you? Won't you feel like going?." She questioned and pursed her lips. She didn't want him to ignore his likes and wishes for hers.
