'' She took my hand and willingly came inside . It seems like she has made up her mind . '' thought Helios with a smile .

    " So.....with what will you shock me today ? " said Aria as they walked through the corridor inside .

    " Why do you say so ? " asked Helios .

    " Well , you keep on shocking me every time you act a bit sneaky . " said Aria .

    " Do I shock you in a good or in a bad way ? " asked Helios with a smirk .

    " More like , a heart attack way.....The only thing that I am not surprised or shocked about you is the fact that you are a playboy . " said Aria .

    " Because I am quite handsome . I understand why I give off the aura of a playboy . " said Helios bragging about his handsomeness .

    " Yeah , yeah ! Good to hear that ! Anyway....From worker to CEO , from CEO to leader of the business world..... " said Aria thinking out loud .

    " I guarantee that there are still a lot of things that you don''t know about me and that will shock you even more . " said Helios with a smirk .

    " Personally I think that nothing could shock me more than the two things that I just said....Aghh !....Seriously ! What is more shocking than the things I just mentioned ?! " said Aria super confused and curious .

    " You will see it for yourself . " said Helios and the two of them arrived in front of a door made from metal.

    " Iris recognition ! " said the computer device on the door in front of them .

    Helios stepped forward and put his face near the iris recognition . After his iris was scanned , the door which looked like a giant block , flat of metal started to open . When the door completely opened , Aria looked at the room inside .

    " Welcome to one of my secret bases ! " said Helios with a smirk .

    The sight of the room left Aria speechless . The room was filled with the latest computers , glass screens with digital monitors and a huge map on another glass screen .

    " Wow....Are these the latest computers ? " said Aria amazed by the technological gadgets that were in the room .

    " Yes ! It will take another seven years until they are finished completely and put for sale but I took the first finished products . " said Helios .

    " How much did they cost in total ? " asked Aria while touching the surface of those computers .

    " Not much ! One billion USD in total . " said Helios with a calm expression .

    When she heard him , she pulled her hand immediately .

    " .....Really....not that much . " said Aria as she looked at them carefully .

    '' There are ten computers in total , including the glass screens...A hundred million USD per computer.....They aren''t even made of gold...My mind starts to hurt when I think about the amount they cost . '' thought Aria feeling like she had received a huge blow .

    " What''s wrong ? " asked Helios when he saw her complexion .

    " N....No...Nothing ! " said Aria with half a smile .

    '' I am glad that I asked him . Now I can be careful when touching them...No.....I won''t touch them at all . '' thought Aria with a serious expression .

    " Pfffftt ! " laughed Helios a bit .

    " What ? " asked Aria .

    " Were you perhaps thinking that you  '' need to be careful when touching them...No , you won''t touch them at all '' ?! " said Helios with a laugh .

    " Since when did you start reading other people''s minds ?! Are you an alien ? " said Aria with a surprised expression .

    " Ha ha ha ha ha ! How silly can you be ?.....It''s because your every thought is written on your face . " said Helios with a laugh .

    Without even knowing it herself , she touched her cheeks . Helios couldn''t help but think that Aria was actually quite cute .

    '' Silly but cute little tigress ! '' thought  Helios with a smile .

    Aria decided to not pay too much attention to him and looked around . She was amazed by what she was seeing but the second she turned her eyes away and looked at the drawers , she froze .

    " What the... ?! " said Aria shocked when she saw that there were actual real guns hanging on the drawers .

    Aria had studied real guns before at the criminalistic laboratory of her school back in France . She could recognize real guns at one glance . When she saw the guns she walked back two steps .

    Helios went near her and leaned his face near her .

    " Looking at your complexion , you must have understood that those are real guns right ?! " said Helios with a seductive tone .

    He could see the shock from Aria''s shoulders which flinched for a second . He understood that she was not only shocked but also a bit afraid .

    " I....I...I... " said Aria who couldn''t bring herself to speak nor to move .

    '' Not only are these guns real but they are also the latest products imported from Russia and China . These type of guns are really dangerous . They are as silent as a fly and cannot be detected easily . They can mix with every kind of environment and are hard to see . The pray that has been target by them.....can hardly escape from getting shot . All the assassins chose that kind of weapon to kill important targets since it leaves no evidence....What is this kind of gun doing in this guy''s house ? '' thought Aria a bit afraid .

    " I have only shown you the tip of the iceberg and you are already scared , huh ?! " said Helios and walked towards the guns .

    He decided to distance himself when he realized that this was not the right time to tease her .

    " .....Who are you ? " asked Aria as she looked at Helios with a serious expression .

    Just when she thought that she had created an idea of his identity , he showed her a new side of him which made her confused again . This time , the side that he showed didn''t confuse her but made her think that all this time , she had been with a stranger .

    " Who you ask ?!....Heh...What word could be suitable for me in this case ?.....Hmmmmm... " said Helios with a calm tone .

    " .....These guns , are the guns a professional killer would use . " said Aria .

    '' I can''t allow myself to show any fear . If I show any traces of being scared , he will never allow me to leave here... '' thought Aria .

    " What is your conclusion my smart little tigress ? " asked Helios with a smile .

    " .....Normally , anyone who sees you in this position and this room , will think that you are part of a mafia or something but that doesn''t appear to be the case . " said Aria looking at him and then looking at the guns behind him .

    " Go on ! " said Helios with a smile .

    " Although you have great achievements , on your interviews you don''t sound like someone who''s obsessed with business . Usually, people with the amount of wealth that you have , are people who are obsessed with business and try to use every possibility to do business . When I was reviewing the files that you ordered me to reorganize back then , there were at least five cases of great business deals that you didn''t attend . The money in total that you could have won from those contracts would at least be four billion USD . A true businessman would never refuse such great deals . " said Aria .

    Helios looked at Aria and started to slowly walk towards her . His eyes were fixated on her . He couldn''t help but feel amazed and at the same time, a bit worried that she could guess so much with just a glance at some irrelevant facts which were supposed to be forgotten long ago .

    " You are really surprising me with your ideas . " said Helios .

    " Aren''t I right ? " asked Aria .

    " You are...but.... " said Helios as he walked closer to her .

    Aria walked back while Helios went towards her . Aria tried to walk back again but there was no space left behind her . Her back faced the wall as she had no way to escape from his hunting-like stare .

    " But ? " asked Aria a bit nervous and scared .

    " But...you didn''t answer the question I asked you . What is your conclusion , my smart little tigress ? " said Helios , putting his hand on the wall .

    Aria tried to walk on the other side but Helios blocked both sides with his hands .

    " Get away from me , please ! " said Aria .

    " Answer me first ! What is your conclusion ? " said Helios with a serious expression .

    " If you were a mafia , you would have never let me off easy with everything that has happened . If you were a true businessman , you would have never hired a person who hasn''t even graduated from university as your personal assistant . With your level of responsibility and wealth , your assistant must at least have graduated from Havard , Oxford, or Cambridge . Lastly , the only thing that makes you wanna keep a person like me without a certificate or diploma , is my knowledge in law-related matters . Also , those guns you have right there can only be bought through political means or stealing at a high rank but I doubt that you would have stolen them since you are showing them to me with such a proud expression on your face....You are a person who belongs to the political field . " said Aria .
