Aaron realizes the helicopter's presence by accident. The helicopter had apparently managed to follow Aaron silently in silence and keep a safe distance at the blind spot of his eye to the rearview mirror with the aim that Aaron was unaware of the presence of those who were following silently.
Unfortunately, the behavior of other humans around Aaron even unmasked the stealth stalking they do. First of all, there's a car that crosses over Aaron, the car slowed down and Aaron saw one of the men in the passenger cabin pointing up excitedly before then taking a portrait with his cell phone camera many times. The same incident lasted several times until Aaron finally decided to take the risk and turn his head back while slowing down his car to see what was actually seen by the other car passengers who had passed after observe with great interest while taking that picture.
And the whereabouts of the helicopter was immediately caught by Aaron's eyes.
Aaron thins his lips in anger. Incredibly, Xavier Light, it's fitting that the man was so calm and didn't ask for a car to stalk him and follow him here. Apparently, the man had a more sophisticated vehicle to stalk him.
The helicopter is certainly the latest type of invention, because unlike helicopters in general, this helicopter is completely silent, even with wind gusts from its propellers, he said, there was no noise at all and not as hard as the wind produced by ordinary helicopter propellers. The shape of the helicopter is also much slimmer and thinner compared to its usual size.
Aaron could not turn his head too long back, which is why he could only take a cursory observation of the helicopter. One thing he could definitely find was a sniper stationed inside the helicopter, ready to take aim.
Aaron knows he can't let his guard down. The fact that the sniper in the helicopter did not aim at him is because he is currently driving at high speed and carrying Nathan's doctor as his passenger.
They must be worried about Nathan's condition if they shoot now and cause the car to crash on the highway and then get struck by another car, creating an accident.
At the moment Aaron's position is still safe, but he knows that this will not last long. Aaron's eyes glanced anxiously at the look of the gasoline meter on his car's dashboard. The gas is running low and soon it will run out.
Goddamnit! All of this was because Xavier had his men follow on the way home from the office and to the office today. All of that left Aaron's mind distorted so he had no thoughts of doing anything important like filling his gas tank full for the sake of escaping.
The silent helicopter that follows behind him will surely continue to follow him stubbornly and it is not impossible that they indeed wait until Aaron's car runs out of fuel and is forced to stop until they can shoot and snuggling Aaron without a hitch.
That can't happen! Aaron has to do something to get out of this car without being shot and can head to his hideout without being tracked.
Aaron's eyes glanced back at Nathan's doctor and he finally decided. Next to Aaron's hand, he took off the steering wheel and pulled out a syringe filled with high-dose sedative fluid in his tube.
Doctor Nathan, who had been silent since then, glanced at Aaron's hand and realized his point. The man's lips formed a thin smile, as if there was no fear even though he knew what Aaron would do to him after this.
“However you try, you won't escape Xavier, Aaron.” Doctor Nathan spoke in a confident tone, trying to provoke Aaron.
Aaron's own eyes instantly flashed with anger. His lips thinned furiously when he retorted later.
“I don't think you'll live to see if your words can be proved or not. Most likely, you were already in the afterlife and could not bear witness when I managed to show the world that I could defeat the glorious Xavier Light that you guys were glorifying about.” The car steering slightly so that Aaron turned his attention for a moment and stared straight at the road while controlling the car back. Afterwards, the man turned his head towards Nathan and grinned viciously. “But humbly I think I still need to apologize to you, I obviously have no personal grudge against you, Doctor Nathan. I think you're just in the wrong place and the wrong situation. Maybe you should curse your own bad luck.”
While saying his sentence, Aaron did not wait any longer. The man quickly swung his hand, then slammed into Nathan's doctor who could not escape because his accomplices were tightly bound and his body was also bound by seat belts that ran across his stomach and chest.
The syringe stuck tightly, and without a barrier directly drained the contents into the body of Dr. Nathan until it ran out completely. Aaron then pulled out the syringe that had filled the empty tube and threw it on the floor. The man refocused himself on driving, while beside him, the doctor Nathan who received the reaction from the drug instantly slowly lost his consciousness without a fight, until finally, the doctor, the man's body was hollowed out with his eyes tightly closed and the body slumped bent to the face and would have fallen off had it not been held back by the seatbelt that bound him.
Aaron pressed his car gas strongly, then maneuvered through the streets and overtaken the car for the sake of the car he was driving.
While continuing to drive and speed, his eyes scanned and searched.
He was about to take a high risk, so he had to find the right size so as not to harm himself in his attempt to escape.
While stepping on the gas deeper, Aaron continued to search and search, his heart began to be overwhelmed with anxiety because he did not also find what he was looking for. However, the goddess of luck seemed to side with him.
He found what he was looking for!
The car was very small in size and looked fragile, dull yellow and seemed to go slowly on the slow lane of the highway.
Aaron took a deep breath and strengthened himself. Then after that, he was in control of his car while stepping on the gas deeply. All he was after was one, that tiny car that he would hit hard.
Within seconds, the loud pounding sound and deafening brake whistles rang out strongly on the crowded motorway. Aaron manages to make his point by crashing into the fragile little car and opening his way to escape.

Xavier ran across the hospital hallway as soon as he got word. His eyes met with Akram who was standing upright while folding his hands and staring at the closed door in front of him.
“How is Nathan's condition?” Xavier immediately asked as he stood before Akram, his eyes staring towards the same closed door as Akram was staring at, knowing that behind that door, he was looking at the same door, Nathan, who was rescued from a deadly highway crash by their men, is being dealt with.
“The conditions are critical. When Nathan was brought in earlier, the doctor said that he was not sure that Nathan could be saved.” Akram's voice rattled when he answered.
It was not just that his body had suffered an overdose of sedative drugs that Aaron had ruthlessly injected into him, Nathan suffered severe injuries as his body lost consciousness in the car's dashboard when Aaron's accident happened.
Maliciously, Aaron crashes into the side of the car in the area where Nathan is sitting to save himself and escape the crash site.
Xavier froze at the answer. He knew that Nathan's situation was critical, but his heart was still unprepared for the fact that Nathan could not be saved.
Doctor Nathan is young, unmarried, has yet to find true love and is on the cusp of age with a brilliant career and life. How could Nathan not be saved? Will one life be taken back in vain and become a victim of Aaron's crime?
“Have you found any traces of Aaron?” Akram as if he could read what was churning in Xavier's heart, his expression seemed so cold and gloomy when he asked.
Xavier shook his head. “He seems to have prepared everything. He used it as an opportunity to escape. Rescue teams in the helicopter must focus on rescue doctor Nathan who was pinned in the car in an overdose condition, they are forced to ignore Aaron who managed to escape freely amid the crowd of people who gathered at the crash site.” Xavier clenched his hands furiously. “I think Aaron has everything ready. He has a hideout in this city that he has chosen since the beginning.”
Akram nodded his head. “You must use all means, all the resources you have, and all the things you can muster to catch Aaron.”
Xavier nodded his head. “I'll do it.”
Akram's eyes were again fixed on the tightly shut door, where Nathan's doctor was dying there, struggling between life and death.
“If you've managed to find Aaron, then give him the poison with the most painful reaction ever. I want him to suffer before he can welcome the moment of his death.” Akram said later, unable to hide the aura of cruelty that emanated from his sentence.

“How about Doctor Nathan?”
Sera asked worriedly as Xavier again stepped into the room where he was being treated. They are together when Derek enters with news of the accident that occurred in Aaron's escape attempt which left Nathan's doctor in a critical condition.
Xavier's expression looked grim as the man shook his head slowly.
“There has been no progress. The doctor's team has tried everything possible to make the condition of Nathan's doctor stable, and now it's just a matter of waiting whether Nathan's doctor can go through his critical moment or not.” In a sad voice Xavier replied.
When he saw Sera's teary eyes, Xavier immediately approached his wife and hugged her.
“Ssh. We still don't know what's going to happen in the future. However, I'm sure Nathan is a strong man, he has a great chance to get through his critical period.”
“J-if until Nathan's doctor is not saved.I have a little share of the blame in his death,” Sera whispered in a trembling voice filled with horror mixed with sadness. “A-I really don't want one more life to be sacrificed. I don't want Doctor Nathan to die,” his sobs slowly.
Xavier sighed deeply and held his wife in his arms. The man sat on the edge of the bed and held Sera tightly until the woman's head sank into her chest.
“I understand how you feel, Sera. However, if anything happens to Doctor Nathan later, I hope you don't blame yourself too much.” Xavier presented a kiss on Sera's forehead with a gentle demeanor. “The guilty person in this case is Aaron, not you. The villain in this story is Aaron and not you. It was Aaron's actions that brought all these disasters. So blame Aaron. Don't blame yourself.”
Sera thinned her lips, looking at Xavier wistfully in a sedu sedan that sounded poignant.
“However, all these things Aaron did... Everything is related to me, isn't it? How could I not feel guilty?” whispered stammered.
Xavier grabbed Sera's chin and raised the woman's face.
“Have you ever seduced and tempted Aaron into falling into your charms and obsessing over you? No, right?” Slowly Xavier asked a rhetorical question which he answered himself. “It was Aaron's madness that made him obsessed with you, so please, don't put responsibilities that aren't yours on your shoulders, Sera.” Xavier kissed Sera's lips gently. “You are the mother of my two beautiful daughters, they need you strong and strong in order to continue to hug and protect them, so do not burden yourself and make yourself slump, huh?”
Xavier's tone of voice was very gentle, filled with the loving plea of a husband who loved his wife. And that sincerity in her tone touched Sera's heart with full force, leaving Sera unable to do anything else but nod her head.
“I'll try,” Sera whispered slowly while sighing deeply to calm herself down and ease her stuffing.
Xavier smiled, replying to Sera's nod with the same nod.
“Good. You're happy, don't think about anything. Regarding all the things that are happening out there, let me, your husband, bear it for you.” Xavier said calmly, then tightened his arm embrace. The palm of his hand rubbed against Sera's shoulders and back, as if trying to foam it.
“Sleep first. Rest yourself, baby. I'll take care of you while you're asleep,” Xavier muttered softly, his tone swinging like a beautifully sung lullaby nina bobo, lulling Sera into a deep drowsiness. “Hopefully tomorrow later, we all receive good news,”
Xavier added his sentence in hope and Sera immediately nodded her head, agreed to the hope and prayed wholeheartedly for it to be granted.

The house was absolutely perfect as a hideout.
In the end, after a hard struggle of walking through the deserted streets of twisting untraceable by any surveillance cameras, Aaron made it to this house. He could not help but smile with satisfaction when he looked at the tiny house located inside a simple housing complex that was quite dense and crowded.
Yes, he did not choose a cottage in the middle of the forest or a hidden villa in a hard-to-reach plantation as his hiding place. Aaron arguably chose a place that was very opposite to it all by choosing a tiny house in the city center, in the middle of the most densely populated housing he could find in the country.
This house is definitely his savior. He is sure that everyone will think the opposite of him, he said, they would search in hidden and secluded places amidst the desolate atmosphere with the thought that Aaron would choose such a location as his hideout. Unfortunately, the fools were unaware that Aaron chose a location that was opposite to everyone's estimation.
In this way he can trick Xavier and show that his brain is much smarter than Xavier Light who is glorified as a genius man.
It was still early morning when Aaron reached the house. He managed to buy a hat on the trip earlier to protect his face from the surveillance cameras that might catch his figure. The deliberate accident that he did not hurt him enough, howy tore a little cloth sleeve clothes and left berets and abrasions in some parts of his body.
With little effort, Aaron also managed to buy a change of clothes in a remote shop he passed by on the street, he also threw his old clothes into the river so it would be difficult to find. The people who were looking for him by relying on the last clothes that were seen to be worn by him, would definitely not be able to find him.
Luckily Aaron arrived at this hiding house when it was still morning, where the sun was still shy to show its light. Although the location of this house is in densely populated housing, but in hours like this, people are still busy struggling inside the house, he said, busy preparing to live the day that will soon be brightly lit through the dawn. Therefore, the atmosphere on the streets to his hiding house was quite quiet, there were only a few people who were running in the morning or taking his dog for a walk and they all seemed too busy to be concerned about Aaron.
Aaron's footsteps were still glued in front of the fence of his house and observing. This house is small, whitewashed and seems to be intended for young families who are undergoing the beginning of their household with one child only. In the terrace area, there is a narrow space covered with green grass and filled with lush and shade trees. The wall between the house and the neighboring house on the right left has been built high to create privacy for each other, so that the neighbors can not take care of each other.
Aaron smiled with satisfaction. One of the advantages of taking a home in a downtown neighborhood is that the people in urban areas are more individual than the people of the village or in the suburbs. Residents in this housing are busy citizens, individualists and have many interests of their own so they do not have enough time to take care of their neighbors. It was that indifference that supported Aaron's hiding to be perfect.
After glancing to his left and right to make sure no one was looking at him, Aaron opened the gate of the house and entered the terrace area. Not to forget he locked the gate back, then entered the green terrace area and stepped towards the door of the house.
The house was given a key with a special security that was made by Aaron long ago. The door can only be opened with a password in the form of a pin that is only known by Aaron.
Aaron quickly pressed the six-digit number he had memorized out of his head, and the door of the house opened. Aaron stepped in immediately, letting the door behind him lock itself and instantly shut automatically.
Without looking left and right, Aaron directly crossed the living room area that fused with the spacious sitting room area and immediately stepped into the locked master bedroom with the same method.
After opening the door with the same pin code, Aaron then stepped into the room and moved to open the glass door embedded in the wall.
Behind that door, there was a huge safe attached firmly there, embedded within the thick walls and securely protected.
Aaron opened the safe with a special code and his lips smirked in satisfaction when he saw what was inside the safe.
It was all his fighting gear against Xavier and his attempts to get Sera and snatch her from Xavier....
Inside the safe, in addition to a considerable amount of cash in the noun, there is a range of faces of synthetic silicone material whose skin surface is very similar to a human face. Those are disguise masks similar to those used in espionage films, and of course these masks have better quality than in the movies, because this face mask is made directly by Rasputin doctor, experts make faces that are also very talented in making disguise masks.
There were more than half a dozen masks available there with varying identities that Aaron had prepared.
Aaron's eyes watched as he weighed, then he took out the face mask of a middle-aged man. This man was the chief nurse at the health facility where Sera's father was being treated,
Yep. Aaron will not commit suicide by trying to reach Sera who is currently definitely under the strict guard of Xavier's highly capable men. That's why he needs Sera's father.
Because, with him having Sera's father in his grasp, he would not have to bother trying to pull Sera to him. Sera himself will come to him willingly.
