On the other end, Aria, who skipped over the road divider looking at the van, didn't stop and ran straight. Due to one way routes, it was of no use to take a cab, she planned and calculated the distance and speed after removing her heels.

Her speed increased without daring to stop, proving Alan's innocence was only left in her. Whether her legs bristled or people spoke about her or if she was going to be in danger, nothing was important to her.

​​

She entered an alleyway and ran towards the next lane main road guessing the van would reach there. To her surprise, the van had taken an alleyway thinking somebody would follow them, and ended up in front of her.

Aria's lips tugged before removing the handgun from her waist and pointing at the head of the driver. Except for Alan, none had noticed when she stole the handgun from Finn who had asked to get in case of emergency.

The three men inside seemed to be taking her lightly so Aria unlocked the magazine lock and pulled the slider. She didn't have time to play, "I know, you don't know" game with them so Aria saw a hanging pot on the third floor above the van which she shot decisively.

'Thud' flower pot broke on the car causing the men to take reverse.

Aria hated this part of Tom and jerry. She noticed a few pieces of building material aside and quickly grabbed and threw with the right force that could break the glass at the driver's glass.

Due to the cut edge of the iron, it pierced the glass shield making them realize her strength shouldn't be underestimated.

Three men gulped and saw her getting near but didn't dare to go reverse looking at her dark face, piercing gaze thrusting for the blood. They clearly read her face that she wouldn't think twice before killing them so they crawled out of the car thinking to surrender.

"President Cooper, we didn't kill anybody, we just passed the body here. Don't do anything to us." A man who was in the late twenties stuttered looking at her close the distance without fear of them.

Others were trying to sneak away from behind and the man trembled by the sudden thought of hitting her and running away. As soon as Aria went to his reach he pushed his fist to punch her face.

However, "Ahhh…" He screamed the next seconds when she tossed the handgun and held the nozzle side before smashing the hard metal handle on his head with all her force bleeding his head right away.

Touching Alan was the same as having a death wish for her. She would go to any extent to protect him. Aria pushed the man aside and was ready to catch the other two, Levi who reached them climbed on top of the car grabbing the broken pot pieces that were on it.

He slid down, throwing on the head of the man who was holding a mobile at his ear while the other one fell on his face in fear however Levi crashed the broken pot piece on his leg and pestle it on his foot making him cry in pain.

The whole alleyway was dreaded with the cries with a bloodthirstiness in the air. Aria saw Levi taking care of the phone call and she pressed the handgun point at the throat of the man who was frightened to see her murderous gaze.

Aria's voice was cold and emotionless carrying no life in it, "I will give you only one chance. Trust me, I will pull the trigger if I hear a single word of nonsense."

Even if she hadn't uttered it, that man already could feel that. He clearly knew she could live on killing him when they idiotically took the alleyway where no one walks or sets a camera.

Before her question, he revealed, "I- I was ordered by an assistant of the president. H-He knows the name." He pointed at the man who was struggling to walk.

Aria pressed his throat harder and turned to Levi who had dragged a man and threw to the van trunk like a bag of junk, "Edgar Daves's assistant Parry." Levi's grave tone sounded before he went to throw the other man to the truck.

Aria lifted her handgun and saw the man voluntarily going to sit in the trunk to save his life. She heard police car sirens causing her to tighten the grip on the handgun. She knew what would happen next, Alan would be interrogated for a murder he didn't even do.

Aria who started to join the dots analyzed the plan wasn't just targeting Alan but to leave her alone and hurt both the business. While she runs behind saving Alan, he could hit the business.

'Was it just that?' Aria knew there is more she needs to dig deeper but currently, she needs to get Alan out of being a suspect.

Aria took the driver's seat dialing a number. The call was answered immediately and uttered, [Aria] It was pleasant carrying a worrisome.

"Where is he?"

[His office.]

Aria hung up the call without a word knowing he wouldn't mind and stepped on the accelerator instructing Levi, "I want Skyline security team in front of Daves International."

"Right away." But he arranged double than what they even needed.

Were they expecting she would take days and weeks to bring Alan out of police interrogation? She will show what a woman could do and how a wife could break bones for touching her husband.

She was going to serve an open warning to the ones who even think of touching her family. She didn't care even if she got a bad image, it's now or never.

Due to the other end of the city, it took her forty minutes to reach Daves international where Skyline and private sentry were in the car waiting for her orders.

Aria, who stepped out, saw Xin and Xoan approaching her. Xin was unfazed while Xoan gulped looking at the fierce look of the little girl. Xoan couldn't help admiring the furious beauty who was walking barefooted in her black jumpsuit where the dress layer was flapping in the air like the cape of a superhero.

"Why are you two here?"

Xin passed her the tab that was ready to unlock the gates which she hadn't actually required for her, "You two don't get mingled with these. Leave."

Still, Xin walked next to her as Xoan followed them like an abandoned puppy, "What are you going to do?"

"Something nobody couldn't even think of doing it." Aria's tone was filled with anger and darkness which the duo men never thought she could possess.

Levi knew Edgar Daves was in a big disaster.
