In Harmon Industries,historical

Leon Harmon, who had instructed the previous day to get the information of Zachary Barnes looked at the file in calmness. He looked placid but Dylan knew how he was burning himself in his own anger trying to connect one to another.

Dylan was composed without affected by Leon Harmon's mood, "Brother Leon, either he is too naive in the business world or doesn't know about us. I don't think we need to fret over it."

Zachary Barnes, his whole biodata was so plain and nonfunctional that it was hard to believe he is just a simple man. His information was pretty simple, an orphan grew up in an orphanage that was looked after by the Rivas family. His pure talent brought him to Rivas Industries and he was poached by Skylar making him a managing director.

They had clear proofs to prove everything but little did they know they were created for them to obtain.

Nevertheless, Leon had still used his connections who asked around and got the information that Zachary Barnes really worked in Rivas Industries and he was an exceptional employee of Rivas industries.

Next is Skylar Industries and Dax Grant. Leon Harmon is long back acquainted with Dax Grant who shuns him if they attend any business meeting together as the shareholders.

Even though Leon knew Dax could be an enemy, Leon was cent percent sure that Dax had no way to get the proof against him to hate him.

Well, Leon was right, Dax or Shawn or Aaron, even Zain Kelly found zero evidence against Leon Harmon or anybody regarding Aarvi's missing and attempt to murder case.

The private army or military power, Leon Harmon's strength was no less than them. Hence nobody really dared to stand face to face with Harmon Industries.

There are two tall beacons in the business industry of the country. Rivas and Harmon Industries. Skylar Industries, the underdog which started with nothing, holds the market value to the extent that, if they decided to shun the Mocon, it could be done at the tip of their fingers. That power, both beacons failed to hold.

As soon as Leon saw the potential of Skylar and their amazing business tactics, he wanted to get them under his company. Nonetheless, Skylar had kicked his offer away.

Leon had almost thought Skylar wanted to be associated with Rivas Industries who were his rival in the business but Skylar never went under anybody to back themselves. Hence Leon had thought Skylar might stay as a small company.

It was too late when Leon realized Skylar was going to stand too tall very soon. And their business web was so strong and powerful that attacking them became a seizure on himself.

If he pulls a thread to affect the Skylar, they could stumble the Harmon Industries with just a click of a button. Hence he really wanted the mastermind behind it accurately guessing Dax is a pillar who executes and also protects the basement.

It was no surprise and actually seemed normal for Skylar to acquire the company and poach the potential. Hence that cleared the air of planning and plotting against Leon.

Anyhow Leon Harmon knew something was not right. It was a puzzle that looked really simple but is it really easy?

Dylan saw Leon crunching the report papers, he spoke to divert his attention. Was he helping Leon? No, if there is really a large trap being woven for Leon Harmon by anybody, Dylan wanted him to fall in it and never stand back.

"Brother Leon, the schemes and plots which we devise are making us overthink as others are also scheming on us. Aren't we alert? I think you need some rest. You haven't taken a break in a long time."

Dylan was successful in his trial.

'Break? Vacation? Rest?' Leon's knuckles paled due to the pressure of his clenched fist. His breathing twitched by remembering a dead person who ruined his personal life.

If he could survive somebody from death, he really wanted to bring life to that person, just to kill and bury back.

"Arrange the flight tonight to country S. Inform Eliza to pack for a vacation. You stay here and update me about the developments. Ask the Legal team to go through all the agreements and offer to invest in the Craft business before they rebrand with a new name."

Dylan heard him as he sent a message to the legal team to start the work, "Alright, I will arrange everything." He was turning to leave but paused, "What about Tara Lane?"

After failing to use Dax, Tara Lane had tried to sneak away from Leon but ended up locking herself in the Lane mansion due to Leon's fake proof saying she had an abortion and the father of the child is a hooker.

Leon didn't flutter his eyelashes when he mercilessly ordered, "Silence her if she can't be tamed."

Dylan just made an okay sign purposefully smirking an evil one when Leon's eyes landed on him. He left to carry out the work as instructed.

Once upon a time, the most favored woman to spend the night with was Tara Lane, so Dylan couldn't understand why everything changed and Leon Harmon too. Dylan was the one who closely followed Leon Harmon so he knew there is a vast difference in Leon Harmon's behavior.

Leon used to be cool-headed despite his weaknesses hence winning on him was difficult but his anger bubble shrunken drastically and control freakiness went out of hand.

Dylan failed to know what triggered him, is it Aeon Harmon? He didn't know. But one thing he does hiding from all was secretly protecting Aeon Harmon from Leon. He used to do the same for Sean but the latter is a stinking fish for him, alive or dead, doesn't matter anymore.

----

In the living hall of Avron Mansion.

As soon as Dax and Shawn made Zain comfortable on the couch, The latter looked around. He had pictures of the exterior of the Avron mansion but didn't know the interior.

Nonetheless, it was one of the best majestic, modern mansion he had ever visited or seen, "Glass around, Why does it feel like Pumpkin's taste?"

Shawn proudly responded, "Even though brother didn't say it out with us directly, I heard the architect and designer of the mansion say that Bro explained the vision on the whole mansion he needed including the little details of that calm water flow inside the mansion, or the swimming pool with artificial waterfalls."

He pointed to the details before concluding, "According to them, the dreamy vision belonged to a girl and the technical details, colors, and vibe belonged to brother. But Little Heart doesn't remember anything and Bro won't tell us anything."

Seeing Shawn get gloomy by the thought of Aarvi losing memories of his brother, he really believed a boy and girl could be best friends.

He revealed to make him happy, "Pumpkin doesn't like to be inside four walls, this architecture makes her feel like she is in the open."

Dax and Shawn nodded in awe, "Brother Aaron is truly spoiling my Dum Dum."

Shawn had a pleased expression, 'My brother is awesome.' Anyhow he quickly snapped out of it and went to the main section. "Brother Zain, where do you stay? Why can't we reach you? Even Little Heart didn't know about your information."

Zain knew how hard the duo had tried to reach him but his identity will be secret from them. He chose to tell Aarvi because Aaron would have told him and she would have found it out sooner or later.

"If you think Pumpkin doesn't know where I am staying, you are highly underestimating her. She had wasted half a day dawdling in front of my villa before leaving, just to give me some time."

Now it was Zain's turn to be proud but he saw the two friends of her also impressed with her causing him to shake his head resignedly.

Next question, "Wait, Dum Dum uses your resources to do things, does that mean your men leaked the information?"

Zain shook his head. He knew they had big misconceptions but he chose to solve them one by one upon their question, "She has her own team, small but too smart. I have only helped her with some cyber hacking," That is releasing pictures without leaving a trace to hack them.

"Professional help of meeting high profile men" Such as arranging men to meet shareholders of Amiah entertainment.

"Stealing." Arranging local thugs to steal the mobiles to destroy her videos.

"And Importantly, erasing proof of her presence in a public area."

Dax summarized in simple words, "All in all, she doesn't trust people who could spill out her name with money or power. You arrange men who don't speak a word and ambush themselves after work."

Zain just smirked in response as acceptance.

Shawn nodded and asked next after glancing at Aaron sitting on an armchair, "If Leon Harmon isn't the key person of the whole situation, who is he?... Or she?"

The three expectantly looked at Zain for an answer but saw shake his head. "Apparently, I know as much as you guys know or a step ahead."

Zain knew they might not believe but it was the fact. He then briefed why he doesn't know, "Pumpkin had tried to tell me twice about what happened with her. Both the times she could only tell till she went to the club with Grace Wells. After it, she ended up in the hospital weakening her heartbeats and hard to breathe."

Aaron nodded in acceptance because he had seen her struggling by remembering those incidences. Dax and Shawn who weren't ready to believe saw Aaron trusting Zain's words so they understood it was true.

'So nobody knows anything.' This reality was a little hard for them to digest.

Silence enveloped them for a few seconds diving in their own thoughts before Aaron chose to ask the three, "How did you all leave her alone right at the same time without feeling anything suspicious?"
