Chapter 376 376: Inauguration Complete.

Leo greeted all the people before they came to stand at the steps of the building. There was a red ribbon tied from end to end, and many flower baskets were placed on the steps on the side. The senior management all stood behind him with a great sense of pride and smiles on their faces.The dignitaries from the other parts of the country and the government all saw the place, initially they thought it was the same thing like others, but once they stepped inside the facility, they realized that this was a palace built for total industrial and business security. Leo had built this place to keep things tight and avoid any leaks as much as possible.

After the gathering they were all shocked when they found this whole thing. This was something that they expected from someone in the western countries, but this guy was simply too over the top. Leo had not spared any expense, be it the monitoring systems or the robot guards patrolling the campus and serving as guides to the newcomers.

Many of the facilities were secured by military personnel and none of the visitors were allowed to get closer to those buildings. This place was dealing with everything, from advanced avionics, to high level drugs but nothing was in conflict with the people attending the event.

After a few minutes, Percie turned around to look at the people and called over the chief guests to cut the ribbon with the family. However, Master Harley came forward and said, "The Business Park is an establishment that is created by the Cardinal Family, they should be the one cutting the ribbon as well. We are happy just to join this auspicious event."

Leo looked at Master Harley and then he sighed as he asked, "Are you sure?"

Master Harley nodded with conviction and then Leo gestured for Percie to come over with scissors and then he held it together with Snow and they cut the ribbon directly.

The ribbon was cut and the people cheered, and Leo and Snow went inside the building. The reception area was very lavish and grand, as if the people walked into a grand palace. June smiled at this and said, "Sir, shall we click a picture?"

Leo nodded and the family of five stood up with the senior management and the photographer clicked a picture and then many of the guests came up and congratulated them before posing for pictures. The ceremony lasted for an hour, before the press meet was kick started, and the guests were taken to the side so that they could have some refreshments.

Leo stood before the media holding Elena in his arms, the little girl had fallen asleep and he said, "Before we start, can I remind you all that the lighting of the place is very good, please don't use the flash on my children."

The reporters recalled the first time Leo had trashed them for doing the same to Lily, and he has not changed. They calmed down and the flashes were turned off, and one of the reporter asked, "Mister Cardinal, first of all, congratulations on becoming a father once again, same to you, Missus Cardinal."

The couple nodded and then the reporter asked, "Can you tell us, what can the people expect from this business park in the future?"

Leo smiled and replied, "We wish to conduct our business in security and also to provide support to the future of the nation. While most of this business park is occupied by the offices of the Cardinal Group, we still have an incubation zone where we would provide guidance and space for new startup companies to grow.

Also, the place is mainly used to research on products that could advance the industrial efficiency so that we could create more employment in the future. With the goal to step out in the space, this much is necessary."

The people nodded and then the questions and answers continued, but not for long as Julian woke up while crying, Leo replied, "Apologize, but it is time to feed the children, we shall carry on some other time. Thank you for coming, please eat before you head back."

Then the family walked out of the press hall under the stunned expression of the people. They have not seen many rich families handling these things by themselves, and they always saw that the children of the rich were raised by the stewards and all, however, the Cardinal Family was different.

Leo didn't want to stay surrounded by the people and so they came to his cabin at the top floor of the tower, level one hundred and forty four. This whole level was as big as their house, and had ample space. The foundation of the building was deep enough to handle this weight. They had twenty underground levels for various storage spaces and automated parking spaces.

In the office, Leo brought the family to the resting area and Snow took it upon herself to feed the two children as they were clamoring. Leo held Lily's hand as they explored the space and the former said, "Lily, do you think you can decorate this place?"

Lily was surprised and then she said, "Baba, I will tell the ideas and you can have an interior design company handle that. I feel like I am not yet knowledgeable enough. Last time I made your office look pink and I felt guilty about it."

Leo smiled and said, "Fine, I will have Percie call for an interior designer and you can talk to them. However, do you like it?"

Lily nodded forcefully and replied, "Yes, it is all so nice, clean and big. Hehe, did you see the look on the faces of those guests when they saw the billboard hanging above the reception counter. Also, Sister June was going on and on about her office being on the same floor as yours. The rest of the big sisters were very envious of her."

Leo chuckled and picked Lily up in his arms as he gave her a couple of swings and the little girl giggled as she hugged him and said, "Baba, you know, I missed you carrying me."

Leo sighed, he felt bad but he said, "It is not that Baba does not wish to carry you, but most of the time, Julian and Elle take up all the time. How about from now on I will carry you more? Forgive me."

Lily hummed and snuggled close to his neck as she hugged his shoulders. Leo patted her back as he hummed her a song. Lily raised her face and kissed Leo on the cheek before laying in his arms and falling asleep. She didn't show it but she climbed the stairs to the shrine with them and so she was tired as well.

Snow came over and wasn't surprised when she saw this, she wanted to ask Leo to handle one of the kids, but when she saw the young man handling their eldest, she could not bring herself to say anything. She looked at Elena and Julian in her arms and said, "You little ones, never slight your elder sister or you will be spanked by me."

The children cooed, and Snow walked closer to Leo, who hummed a little louder and the three children fell into a deeper spell of sleep. After half an hour, June came over, asking them for lunch, but Leo shook his head and told her to help Snow with Julian and then lead them to the car.

They went down and then Snow took Julian back before they headed home. Leo was not a fan of the large gatherings and he had already told Percie and the rest to handle things well. The Sigil Council Members have also left early, after all, they were not free either. Ellyse and Cherry took the reins of financial and business networking and Markus took on the role of the entertainer.

Percie was watching the overall situation and Yelena, had joined the company as the security advisor and also the intelligence network head of the company. This was a guise that she was using to infiltrate various places in the world and safeguard as many children from the vices of the world as possible, and she had to have a stable job profile that she would use to extend her network.

....

Leo reached back home and placed Lily in her bed, he didn't forget to give her the saint's touch massage to relieve all her pain so that the quality of her sleep is not effected, and then he want to check on the young ones, before giving them a massage as well.

After all this was sorted, the two people had a meal. Anastasia was also at the inauguration event and she was busy with the discussions of rescue and aid plans. Lily would eat when she wakes up.

Snow asked, "Well, what now?"

Leo smiled and replied, "The space elevator program will soon enter the vertical construction phase and then we will aim to create a nice space station there. This way the pathway to the stars would ease up.

Also, the water that I took from the Shrine, I used a moment to hand it over to the scientists and try to find out the secrets behind it, if my guess is correct, than this place was carved by not human tools but lasers and if they existed in ancient times, then that would be a work of aliens. I wish to look for details and then tell you what it was all about."
