Chapter 152 152: Angry Cardinals.

Leo sat inside his study with Snow beside him. They were watching as Hector's convoy was attacked by their people. Yes, Markus being the micro managing freak assigned the people to broadcast the whole thing live and a feed was relayed to the study as well.

The young man had a faint smile on his face when Hector's face twisted and he sighed, "If only this had audio. Looks like a movie, not gonna lie."

Snow chuckled and replied, "You sure are having fun."

Leo nodded and Markus said, "Sir, I will assign someone to carry audio equipment as well."

This caused Leo to roll his eyes and said, "Do you think this is not eye-catching already? A motorcade attacked by the people?"

Markus scratched the back of his head and he said, "Sir, Spring has an update, Carole Primal seems to have fallen for her. He is aware that she has lost everything and has been disowned by the Marlin family, however, using the resources we have provided her to pose, she is acting nicely, and Carole has taken the bait. How shall we proceed now?"

Leo thought for a bit and said, "Let him play, tell Spring to entertain him and deviate his mind from the situation here."

Markus nodded and they continued watching.

…

After losing his people, Hector somehow managed to reach his dwellings and his face was pale. The first thing he did as soon as he reached the living room was to grab the lamp on the side table and smash it on the ground causing it to shatter and splatter around.

He looked at Steven and asked coldly, "What the fuck happened out there? Who were those people?"

Steven wanted to say that he had no idea, but he couldn't say that, so he made up an excuse, "We are calling the person who intermediated the situation for us to know."

The old man glared at him and said, "Do you take me for a fool, Steven? How many years have I been doing all this for? Who can hire people for us on such a small duration? Who attacked us? All of this has something to do with us, someone on the inside is working against us."

The man couldn't help himself and found fault on the inside, because he was on impression that he has a high standing in the world and the people didn't dare to go against him.

…

Leo sat inside the study and said, "Markus, plant the look out notice bomb on this guy. Have him divert to the desert, and arrange a transport for both of us as well."

Markus chuckled and said, "Yes, Sir, right away."

Snow looked at him and asked, "What do you mean, us?"

Leo asked, "Umm, do you want me to handle him on my own?"

Snow was stunned and she asked, "You want me to accompany you in killing him?"

The young man thought for a bit and nodded as Snow shook her head and said, "Fine, I will come along."

The door of the study was knocked, and Leo said, "Come in."

From the impact on the door he knew that it was Lily, the little goblin had been picked up from school by Anastasia, and when she came in with a pout, the two elders knew that she was upset because none of them was there to pick her up.

Leo smiled and asked, "Why is my princess pouting? Is she upset?"

He didn't care about the changing faces of the people on the big screen. They all didn't expect that this cruel man (Markus has told them how Leo was a killing machine and they were in awe of him.) would be so coy in front of a pouting toddler.

Lily snorted and turned her head. Snow said, "Baby, we were working, see, Baba and Ma are holding a meeting. Come greet the uncles and aunties."

That said, she picked up Lily in her embrace and pointed at the screen and the people put up smiles as they greeted her as Young Miss. Lily returned the greeting and asked them if they were all well, if they liked their work, if they were getting enough money to support their families.

Yes, that was something she picked up from the Noble dream sequence. Leo watched her with an amused smile, these people on the screen were basically millionaires. However, he liked how his daughter was talking with those below his station.

Markus came back into the screen and said, "Sir, the flight is booked for you and madam."

Lily narrowed her gaze and she turned the sharp pair to look at Leo who calmly asked, "What do you mean, me and madam? Markus, my daughter will be traveling along with us. After the meeting, I will show her the stars from the desert, and then there is a camel ride. After all, she had to go out alone today, I have to make it up to my darling, don't I?"

Snow knew he was saying all this because he was scared of Lily's glare. The little goblin had the power of a meteor that caused her father to steer clear of many things. Watching Leo smile coldly, Markus shivered and said, "Yes, Sir. I have chartered a plane for your convenience. You can take Young Miss wherever you wish. I will arrange the best holiday guide in the region for you."

Lily's glare turned into a smile and she said, "Thank you, Uncle Beard."

The people were stunned and they wanted to hold back their laughter, but General Manager Elysse didn't bother and she laughed out loud and said, "Young Miss, when you come back from the trip, I will send over a nice gift for you."

Lily thanked her with a smile, as she had no clue that Markus would now have a new codename, Taskmaster Beard.

The call was disconnected, and Leo asked, "Lily, it was me, who decided on the trip, why did you say thanks to Markus?"


The little girl replied, "Because, Lily is upset with you, and will not talk, humph."

That said, she charged out of the study, and Leo followed her with an anxious expression on his face.

'Ping: Host, your daughter is upset with your actions, please make it up to her. Reward: Condor Private X12, private jet.'

Leo sighed as he followed the little girl. He didn't care about the reward, the fact that Lily was upset with him was enough to cause him to freak out. The young man took a deep breath and said, "Lily, please tell me how I can make it up to you?"

The little girl didn't reply, she just sat down on the thousand yuan worth woolen carpet on the floor, and began to brush Momo, who lay obediently in her lap. Snow could have mediated but she didn't, it was the first time for her to witness a fight between the two people and so she wanted to see how it would fold out.

While she was amused, Leo sat down before Lily, on his knees. He asked her if she wanted anything and his voice was very low, however, the little girl didn't reply.

Anastasia approached her and sighed as she said, "I think it might have been me."

Snow raised her brows and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old lady said, "I was going through some posts of a wedding planner when Lily asked me what it was for. I said that it was for the wedding ceremony between you and Leo.

She asked me why it was me looking at the video and not her father himself. I said that Leo had been busy with work and stuff so he had not planned anything yet.

Lily thought that since he got the dresses, there would be other things going on and he would ask for her to come over and suggest something. I think that's why she is angry with him."

Snow sighed, she was left speechless by how her mother actually managed to stir trouble at home, and that too with Lily. She said, "Look at his face Ma."

Anastasia turned to look at Leo and Snow said, "Even when he was sick, if he heard Lily cry, he would get anxious and his heartbeat would shoot so high that I used to worry if he would be fine. He would cry along with her, and when he got well, that love in his heart grew stronger. At this moment, even if he loves me the most, Lily happens to be the only blood relative he has. At this moment, he is on the verge of crying, and knowing them both, I am sure if Lily tells her the reason, Leo will show her the plans he has, and in the end you would become the villain.

So, I suggest that you go there and settle a peace deal or your little granddaughter will not look at you for at least a week, believe me. She has the temper of the Cardinals."
