Chapter 676 - Saving For The Last

Even though Dax and Shawn always wanted to kill those who made their friend suffer so much, when they saw Sebastian trying to suicide, they instinctively reacted. Without panicking, they rushed to him and pulled him away from the edge.

They couldn't understand, Sebastian who was crying at the lift of their hand had the guts to suicide and help Leon. "Are you crazy?"

Sebastian jerked at the loud voice of Shawn. He again started shaking. He didn't want to get tortured and die by their hands but he didn't have the nerve to jump either. He tried to jump but the depth was scaring him.

"Go and change," Dax ordered him. He breathed a sigh when the man ran inside. He pressed the wound which was stretched when they ran upstairs.

"Something isn't falling in place.." Shawn voiced his instincts. He didn't know what but felt everything was odd. 

Dax hummed. If Sebastian was really at the warehouse where Aarvi was tortured, either he should have turned evil like the rest of the men or ran far away after seeing the real face of Leon. Something wasn't sinking.

When Sebastian came out, both friends made him sit on the chair and asked patiently, "What did you do to Little Heart?... I mean Ava Kelly?"

Sebastian swallowed hard looking at two friends. He lowered his head. Given a chance he didn't want to respond but was afraid of pain, he stammered, "I-I got a call asking me to pick up Ava Kelly, adding half a million to my account." For a sixteen year boy, it was too huge. He always wanted to show off as his parents were too strict. So he accepted the offer.

"T-they said I will get a house if I do the job..." 

Dax cut off hearing a house, "You were bloody sixteen. Why did you want a penthouse?"

Sebastian further lowered his head. He cursed himself for going to drop his brother that day. Their voice was enough to terrorize him, he didn't dare to look at their faces. The one who got scared of seeing a snake on screen, how could he bring up the courage to look at the two grim men? 

"Parties?" Shawn guessed and Sebastian nodded. When he had money, he needed a place too and he had liked this penthouse so he asked for this.

He continued when Dax grunted, "My job was to drop her in the city. She was very scared, she didn't get out of the car to eat or anything. She often silently wept while sitting in the backseat. I tried to know but she didn't speak. I don't know what happened after it."

Shawn shook his head without catching up with his words, "Did she get off where you asked?" 

Sebastian crouched. He didn't want to answer it. 

"Speak."

Startled at Dax's voice, "I-I tried to drag her out. She was frightened more so she got out of the car and ran away from there." Sebastian blurted out.

'Pak.' 

Sebastian fell off the chair at the impact of Dax's slap. He tried his best to hold back but he failed. He knew Leon used Sebastian's weakness and wants but a sixteen years boy can know that it wouldn't be something legal if he was getting so much money out of nowhere.

Shawn loomed over Sebastian and tugged his collar. He asked through his teeth, "How would it feel if I left you in Lion's cage? Lion could have a good feast." Before he could complete his words, Sebastian's eyes rolled back and fainted.

Shawn threw him back on the floor and breathed. Now they got to know why Sebastian had no fear of doing it. He didn't even know who was behind it.  He couldn't even think how much fear Leon must have inflicted in Aarvi for her to be frightened of a sixteen-year boy. 

First, two friends relaxed, then splashed water on Sebastian's face and dragged him out.

After an hour, 

Sebastian was curled in a corner, scared to death while watching the four couples. His elder brother was standing behind Aaron and Aarvi in the hopes of earning mercy to his little brother.

Aarvi had asked Principal Dome to sit but he didn't. He was waiting for them to allow him to take Sebastian away. Dax and Shawn hadn't come up with any punishment so they didn't let Sebastian move.

Principal Dome had no idea the penthouse was in the name of his youngest brother. He just got to know Sebastian had taken money and penthouse to feed Ava Kelly to the bunch of men and she is dead. He didn't know who Ava Kelly was other than Zain mentioning she was his sister. He couldn't let his younger brother die and couldn't offend these people so he chose to show his sincerity for their forgiveness. 

Meanwhile, Aaron looked at all the junk food and mentally decided no more junk for Aarvi, for at least fifteen days. There was fried food, pizza, cold drinks, beer, and whatnot.  Due to the presence of Dome siblings, they couldn't talk much other than some fun game or exchanging some fun stories.

When they filled their stomach, enjoyed their stay, Shea was first to say, "I should go and study. You guys enjoy it, I will take leave." Even though it was tempting to sit with them, her priority was her studies.

Everyone involuntarily turned to Shawn. Silently waiting for him to say that he will drop Shea. Well, he understood that. Not because of him or Shea, it was due to responsibilities got from his family. Rivas had promised Morris to keep their daughter safe.

"Alright, I will drop her home." He stood up as he chugged his leftover beer from his glass.

Aarvi and Dax looked at each other. Shawn didn't understand their intention else his expression would have been different than seriousness.

Shawn paused looking at Sebastian. He looked back at the elder brother Dome, "Principal Dome, I am employing your younger brother at Rivas Industries. any objection?"

Sebastian didn't have a good omen from his words. So he stared at his brother, hoping he wouldn't agree to it.

The man glanced at his younger brother, he wanted to turn down so he went around with his words, "Second Young Master Rivas, I understand that my brother did a wrong thing. I hope you could consider he was young at that time. Youngsters are rebellious…"

Shawn cut off coldly, "Young? Why don't I remember killing people when I was young?"

Dax stood up after him. He accurately knew why Shawn wanted Sebastian to work at Shawn. The latter would keep him behind and give him a torturous life. "Alright then, let's hand him to the cops." Sebastian would blurt out everything and get himself in real trouble. "The choice is yours."

Sebastian was even more reluctant to go to the police station. Who would like to stay in prison for a few years at the prime age?

Principal Dome knew it would be even worse. If their name leaks, their school reputation would be in trouble. Yet he gave another careful try, "Sebastian doesn't know any office work. He will be of no use to you in the office."

"That shouldn't be your worry." Shawn gave them no choice. 

Meanwhile, Aarvi sat on his toes in front of Sebastian. She pretended to touch him and saw him cornering himself, stared at her widening his eyes and holding his breath in the throat due to fear.

She simply stated, "I felt worse when you grabbed my hand in the car." She went closer and whispered, "I won't spare anyone."

Sebastian's eyes widened further. His body was frozen cold as ice. "W-will…"

"Shhh… Follow Shawn silently." She sweetly commanded him.

Sebastian rattled his head, praying for his safe life.

Aarvi didn't realize Zain and Aaron were uninterested in Sebastian. They knew he wasn't the person she was saving for the last. So her plan to make them worry-free didn't work. They chose to ignore it for her.

Her plan to relax Aaron and Zain - Failed.

The final battle of Leon - Began.
