The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

339

At Harmon Industries,

Dylan treated the bruises on Seungri's face and body repeatedly asking him why he was so goddam hurt. It had taken him a very long time to recall Ruby Jane's sharp precision of aiming knives. Then he discerned Ruby Jane was the one who could aim those knives at Seungri and torture him. However, he wasn't sure how and what happened.

Now seeing Seungri calm after getting beaten up so much, he couldn't understand what was going on in Seungri's mind. If it was in the past, he would have gone berserk.

"Brother Seungri, did you get hit on your head?" He asked, thinking something might be wrong with Seungri.

Seungri wore his shirt and buttoned slowly. He was thinking really hard about how Ruby Jane was going to attack that could bring the real downfall. The more he thought, the more disoriented he was. There wasn't one thing he did.. His greed was too much. In order to earn lots of money and get the highest power in the city, then in the country, he had done every possible shortcut, illegal things.

However, after Jennie entered his life, he was trying to be careful and losing money. He lost more money to control her and her people.

The same afternoon, he had even managed to poison Ruby Jane at Skylar. The food had also reached. However, when he saw her entering the boxing studio, he realized he was again a failure. He had no idea who ate it or what happened, he lost again.

Well, the food had reached the bin. None of the secretaries eat out in Skylar when at work. When Mino's Personal Secretary got to know the food was delivered in the name of Ruby Jane, it was an easy guess for him to throw it right away. Ruby Jane never orders food in her name to keep her presence unknown. Lisa or Jisoo send their people to deliver food. Zain personally goes.

That's how Ruby Jane was untouched. Too bad, Mino's secretary didn't feel it was worthy to mention it to Ruby Jane. Else Seungri would have gone through another torturous time.

Failed plan apart, Seungri couldn't guess any deadly strike from Ruby Jane to him other than the chemical manufacturing plant. He questioned wearing his tie, "How is the acquisition process going on?"

Dylan looked at Seungri as if he was an alien. On Monday, they got to know they won the project. Since the project was big with a huge amount, they couldn't transfer everything in a go. Hence, they had divided the process into three stages.

On Monday, they had signed an initial agreement and transferred the first set of amounts in billions. On Wednesday, they made another transfer to the other party. On Friday, that's tomorrow, they transfer the last set, and Seungri and another party will sign the final agreement papers in front of all the media and higher-ups of Harmon industries.

That means the acquisition was a success with a question.

Dylan didn't lose his cool and responded to the question, "We are facing no issues. Tomorrow at ten in the morning, you will be signing the final agreements. To avoid disturbance at the company, I have booked the nearest and vast hall for the signing ceremony. Then you will head to the factory and begin manufacturing under our labels."

Seungri watched Dylan's ever so composed appearance. He so wished he had it in him, inside. There was such turmoil going inside him, he felt dizzy at times.

Should he just have fallen silent and judged the silence of Ruby Jane?

He had won in his plan sent Lisa away, troubles Ruby Jane's restaurant chains. Yet they didn't attack him. He should have learned why they were silent. He felt like a dumb-headed fool for kept attacking them and having short-term sight. His opposition was so strong and well organized that she had her way back and hellbent patience.
