The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 537 - The Egoistic Compassion



Aarvi turned around and smirked looking at the two stacks in Alex's hand. When she sent Alex to the bank, she dropped him a message with a pin and a line, [I want one hundred in a buck each. And ten thousand in hundreds.]

She blocked the view to Alex when she took a hundred billed stacks as she instructed in a low voice, "Hide from the eyes and give me this later."

Alex gave a small nod as he placed the stack in his pants pocket. "Yes, Young Madam Rivas."

Aarvi turned around with a hundred stacks and purposefully played, shuffling the notes. The main person was obviously enticed as she was right in front of him, the people around him were jealous of him. 

The slogans were continuously affected as the word started spreading as 'money'

The main person stuttered, keeping his megaphone away, without taking his gaze away from the banknotes. Of course, he had seen the man exit the bank so he knew they were original banknotes and they had no time to get duplicates in such a short time.

"W-what d-do you w-want?" It was a far higher price than what he got to lead the group of people.

The reporters and cameramen started to cover the developments from different angles and the cops were very curious to know the development as they thought to blame everything on the lady in the attention if something goes wrong.

Aarvi smirked on his face hearing the question. When she made sure the people were distracted with the money and their attention was actually on her, a few were confused too so they too stopped yelling the slogans.

Aarvi sauntered to the right side of the road with her team right behind her. The reporters started to throw their questions thinking she was particularly there to grab some attention. The people in the cars were recording and some live broadcasting to their social media.

Aarvi went to the SUV that was in the center of the lane, it's bonnet was pretty high compared to sedans so she chose it, she asked the driver who was holding his mobile out to record her. "May I climb on your car?"

The young man in his early twenties got excited knowing she was up to something. "Sure… Sure…" 

The young man recorded Alex holding Aarvi by her waist after her instruction and lifted her to stand on the car as she wasn't wearing the pants but dress. His camera clearly recorded how Alex and Aarvi exchanged the stack of banknotes.

He gasped realizing 100s of 100 which was ten thousand was changed to 1s of 100  which was a hundred bucks. She was blatantly fooling the people. He recorded his voice with the video, "Oh my god, she is a goddess."

Aarvi unwrapped the paper lock on the banknotes under the hundreds of live eyes and thousands of netizens. Then she threw all the notes in her air.

Who doesn't like the rain of money especially when they were present due to the money?

Not just the people who were blocking the road, the reporters were also distracted and a few car people even alighted the car. The cops wanted to grab a note or two for themselves but were afraid of the cameras.

In just a few seconds the people ran towards the one side unblocking the junction. A few people who were confused and stood still were scared so they moved away.

The cops who were in the middle of the road naturally went aside hearing the siren of the ambulance. Aarvi saw the unborn baby's father fold his hands at her and climbed the ambulance which left the junction.

Aarvi's eyes shifted to the cops who were looking at each other and her in ununderstandable feeling. They didn't know what to feel for the whole event.

Just in time, Aarvi's phone rang. She took her mobile out from her dress pocket to see it was from Aaron. Unknown what he would say and how much he knew about the situation, she answered the call. 

His voice was indulgent while saying, "My Queen got the world as her stage." 

He didn't mention Milo Wen was at his wits when he saw live footage on a news channel where Aarvi was focused for more than five minutes. It was still going on and everyone could see Aarvi holding her mobile and biting her lip to stop herself from smiling. 

Aaron hung up the call saying, "I will call you later." So that she doesn't smile and her real motive would be depicted wrongly.

Aarvi hummed before she shoved her mobile into the pockets and took the megaphone from the shadow team member who had sneaked it off.

The people realized it was banknotes of one buck, even though they were disappointed, who will give them for free? So they grabbed as much as they could, shoved in their pockets without caring they were pushing around themselves. 

"Cops, I am writing a complaint of theft. I lost a hundred bucks that slipped my hands." Her sweet voice sounded firm and the whole area froze.

The shadow team controlled their laughter at her shameless tricks but a very effective one too. When you know who the money belongs to, try to keep it to yourselves, isn't that called a theft. Upon all that, numerous cameras were recording the whole situation.

A woman who had more than five notes clutched them hard as she argued back while stuttering, "Y-You threw them away." Others went with the voice and nodded vigorously because cops were around and they needed to leave without going to the police station.

Aarvi shook her head, "Did I say I threw them for you? When you could spout on the roads, why can't I play with my money?"

The wonderstruck was written all over the faces of those people. Some people burst into laughter who had witnessed the whole thing. A girl squealed from the car, "Sister, you are so cool."

Aarvi flashed a tiny smile, saluting her two fingers at the little lady. She turned back to the people in front of her and spotted the person who spoke about compassion with her.

"Humanity? So you are all humans to speak for the one who died in an unfortunate event. You want that company to shut down and compensate. 

What about the death you are causing by blocking the road? Can't you hear the siren of an ambulance striving in the traffic to save lives? If your wife or mother or sister was suffering in the ambulance, would you have still blocked the road? Where has the egoistic compassion of yours gone?

The whole city is being shut down due to your stupid blocks, will that bring the dead back? If not, what right do you have to stop other people from doing their emergency work? 

The real victims of your actions are on the roads. Some might have to reach the school or else the teacher will punish them, colleges or else they will miss the class, offices or else lose their salary hike being undisciplined. Some might have to catch the flights. Are you going to compensate them?

If you are so humane to help, do it in the right way, and reach the place where you get a response instead of here that disturbs everyones' day-to-day life." 

Everyone kept silent, watching her with wide eyes and with their heart beating faster at her unyielding voice and resolute gaze. Her confidence against so many people was immeasurable.
