Leo and Elvin were shocked, they didn't expect that Aron, would have the guts to do something so crazy, specially when he was surrounded by the other cops. The police men were stunned, but they quickly took out their guns and surrounded Aron. The crowd realized what was going on and they dashed for the cover, with the surroundings getting noisy, Leo took a deep breath and yelled, "Silence!" The people instinctively fell silent, and a few cops looked at Leo with surprise, they saw the young man take a step forward and he took out the red booklet from his coat and said, "Officer, I can help you, just give me a chance to talk to that man." Leo was looking directly at the officer whose epaulets had the maximum number of stars. The officer nodded and the young man moved towards the inside of the circle, and then he said, "Aron, you have bad blood with me and Elvin. Let go of the officer and I am sure we can come up with some arrangement." Aron narrowed his gaze at Leo and said, "Do you take me for a fool, Cardinal? Do you think I am not aware of your involvement in this entire incident?" Leo sighed and said, "That was that and this is this. Can you focus on the situation? If you want to get out of here alive, you will need a hostage, and if you take a cop with you, do you know that the entire city police department will hunt you?" He paused and said, "I am sure you are not a fool, so how about this? You take me as a hostage instead of the policeman. I assure you that none of them would make a move against you." As he spoke, he was taking slow and small steps close to Aron, however, the policemen in the back made a mistake, and Aron quickly raised the gun up in the air and shot a bullet at the ceiling. The people froze and the crowd screamed in fear. Aron yelled, "If you bastards made one more move, I will splatter the head of this pig on the floor, before you can take me down. Do you understand?" The cop incharge said, "Back off, everyone, give him space." Their task was not to protect their colleague, but also the crowd that was standing around. This was the court entrance, and they needed to make sure that the people didn't die. The cops took three steps back and Leo said, "Aron, you still have a chance to save yourself. If you take the policeman with you, they will give him a medal and you will become the villain despised by the entire country. If you take me, I will transfer you with three hundred million yuan and you can then leave the country to live a happy life anywhere in the world. This is the last chance, and I am sure if you managed to kill me, someone will be happy and trust you again." Aron was surprised that Leo was saying such things to him. Aron rose to success because he followed Carole and now if he managed to kill Leo and get in Carole's good graces then it would be a new spell in some other country far away from Clover nation. Aron was conceited and stupid, he managed to live so far because he had been following the plan made by Carole. He himself was shallow, and so hearing what Leo said, his brain began to turn into the direction Leo wanted it to move. He nodded to Leo and said, "I will only let this pig go when you have come over." Elvin saw this and said, "Leo, what the fuck are you doing? Don't listen to this bast.." Leo looked at Elvin coldly and said slowly, "Shut up, Rao." Elvin was stunned, he realized that Leo was not longer the person he knew in the past life. This man was ruthless and cruel, not only to the enemy but even to himself. Elvin had noticed that the security team really feared Leo, and they were all battle hardened men. This fear originated only when the other party was stronger than them. Elvin was sure that Leo must have done things that he could not imagine to command such respect. Leo calmly took his steps toward Aron and the cop, he said, "See, I am coming over." Everyone watched over in surprise, they didn't expect that Leo would really do something like this, the cops would have dissuaded him but they didn't know how to, because Aron was now aiming the gun at Leo. They could afford a fellow cop getting martyred but the death of a civilian who volunteered for this, would become a stain that none of them wanted to clean up. When Leo was two meters away, Aron shoved the cop away and quickly grabbed towards Leo, however, at this moment, he saw that Leo smiled, and before he could react, Leo grabbed his right arm, that was holding the gun, and forcefully twisted it. Leo didn't stop there, he grabbed Aron's neck with his right hand and exerted even more strength in his left grip. Then he gave it a quick twist and a crackling sound echoed in the surroundings. Aron's face turned pale and he wanted to scream but his throat was held by Leo like an anaconda tightening around his neck. The cops were shocked and Leo said, "Did you think that you would be able to get away from the punishment of the sins that you have committed so easily? Aron, I will make sure that you die in the prison, helpless, hoping that someone would redeem you. I will never let you come out and walk in the open world. That is my promise to you." After saying that, he let go of the neck and punched the man on his temple. This caused Aron to fall on the ground, unconscious. The cops rushed over, and after checking his condition, the Sergeant said, "Martie, take this dog to the hospital, get him treated and then throw him in the penitentiary. I don't want to see him ever again." Martie nodded and said, "On, it Sarge." He thanked Leo with a subtle nod and then left the place quickly with a couple of deputies. The rest of the cops and the people came forward to thank Leo and applaud for him, but the young man made an excuse and decided to leave the place as soon as possible. … Jimmy Shelby was escorted to the south street pub by two people, he was waiting for Leo to come when he heard the news forecast on the television. The court was one place which was always under the radar of the reporters. Jimmy raised his brows when he heard the news of how Leo took control of the situation barehanded and disarmed the assailant. He mumbled, "You really have changed a lot, haven't you, Young Master Cardinal?" After a few minutes, Leo came over, and he sat down across Jimmy, with Elvin, as he said, "You can stay here in the city till Old Shelby is put through the trial. After that, I will give you the money and you can go away." Jimmy looked at Leo and asked, "Will you really honor your words?" Leo raised his cold gaze to look at Jimmy and he said, "Do you think everyone in the world is like you? I have given you the word, no harm will come to your family, hoping that you would cooperate. The security detail will be ever present but it will be a shadow unit, I assure you, I will not make things difficult for your family, given that you never try to reach for the sky that doesn't belong to you." Jimmy looked Leo in his eyes and asked, "What if you tried to suppress my child?" Leo chuckled and said, "Do you think I am your employer? Jimmy Shelby, I have better things to do. If you child is good enough that he can carve a piece of the sky for himself, then be my guest. However, if you raised him to wield a blade against me." Leo leaned forward, with his elbows resting on his knees and he said slowly, "If you raised him to attack me, I will make sure that he dies, and when I do that, I will have you kneel before you as I slowly take his head off his shoulders. It will be a slow and painful process. And believe me, I am capable of doing that to people now." Jimmy looked in Leo's eyes, and felt as if the gates of purgatory opened and he nodded. Leo said, "Go, and stay with your family, you will be summoned to the court when your father has been arrested." Jimmy left the place quickly, and Leo sighed as he leaned back in his chair. Elvin was now used to such a situation and sighed, "Can I get a chiller here? Your boss sure likes to pose high and set the room on fire." Leo chuckled and closed his eyes, he said, "Fragrance is getting discharged, I am going to meet her, you stay here, and leave when you want. Simon, make sure they collect the entire bill from him, no discounts for this filthy rich scum." Elvin cursed his friend as the latter walked away.
