Leo stood at the door of his house, and watched Elvin take the Cherry family in his car. The young man took a deep breath and said, "Whover Lily touches, that person blooms with happiness."
Snow nodded as she leaned against his chest and mumbled, "This little goblin sure is an angel."
Leo smiled and they closed the door to return back in, after a few minutes, they sat in the living room holding a glass of wine each. The young man took a deep breath and replied, "Elvin called over to his place today. He told the person responsible for tossing the case aside naming it an accident. Elvin wants to crack Tully and along with him the rest of the Angkor City cartel."
Snow frowned and took a sip of wine from his glass and replied, "It is good, but too ssy. So many people and so many variables. Anything can go wrong and the tables can turn."
Leo nodded and replied, "Yes, I was thinking about the sa. However, if we observe Commissioner Tully as a central figure, and find out who are the people he has been involved with over the years, we would be able to track down the entire group. Then we can select whom to keep and whom to dispose."
Snow nodded and the two sipped their drinks in silence, they were looking forward to their vengeance and none of the people in this world could be more vindictive than them. Although it was the Cardinal Family who suffered the most, but Snow also despised these people because while Leo's love for her caused him to lose his family, her love for Leo also pushed her back in a corner.
...
The day ca to an end, and the family trio was out and about for their regular activities. Lily was secure inside the three circles of guards hidden all over the place. They were not normal people even the seasoned guards would have a hard ti to find them. Kyle had trained these people personally and vouched for their skills.
Leo dropped the little girl at the school gate and watched her go inside with Miss Verse and Zeenat, then he drove to his office. Leo ca to his room and found June setting up a few things on his table, and he asked, "June, what is going on?"
June replied with a smile, "Good Morning Boss, I have placed a list of appointnts you have today, and also set aside three hours for the inspection of the research group, they have co up with so ideas they wish to share with you."
Leo nodded and said, "Good job, I will go through them slowly."
June nodded and left the room, Leo got on his table and looking at the list at his hands, he found that a few of them were reporters who wanted to interview him, Leo picked up the intercom and said, "June, postpone the interviews for the weekend, if they want to talk have them co to the Utopia Research Center the coming sunday."
June note it down and got to work, when she said, "Sir, I just recieved a news from the reception, Mister Kraven from Kraven enterprises has co over to et you."
Leo smiled and said, "Send him away, I will not et him."
June put on a bitter smile but she nodded and agreed. After all, that was her entire job."
When she returned the information to the reception, she said, "Ask the security to handle it if this man acts aggressively."
The reception staff nodded and thanked her before putting the phone down.
...
Snow knocked on Leo's door in the lunch, she saw that the young man was busy with his computers. He raised his head and Snow ca inside as she asked, "What the hell is even going on? Kraven is kneeling in the lobby."
Leo raised his brow and he clicked the mouse a few tis to pull up the feed from the security system, then he frowned and picked up the intercom and said, "June, tell Kraven that I will listen to him, he has one minute to say what he has to. If he tried to disrupt the atmosphere of the company, I will have Kyle make a move."
June nodded and quickly connected the reception area, who called Kraven over to the table for a call. Leo placed the receiver back on the instrunt and pressed the speaker button as he beckoned Snow to co over.
The lady unfurled the blinds before she sat in his lap and waited for a few monts before a tired voice sounded from the speaker, "Mister Cardinal, I know that I have done many wrongs, but can you please lift your hand high and let a way to survive? I have staked everything for this contract from wagoner and if you cancel it now, then I will have no way but to hang myself."
Leo frowned, he didn't wish to give his enemy any chance that would make his life easy. However, he could not go outright vengeful as well, so he said, "Well, Mister Kraven, the decision was made after a thorough investigation from the company. Also, your act of bribing Mister Tyro is known to the company board, we cannot have anyone like you doing business with us. The wagoner group is responsible to accountable not only to the law, but also the trust of the custors. If that is all that you wish to say, then I really cannot help you."
His words left Kraven with no option and Leo muted his side of connection while Kraven kept begging cohesively. After the ti was up, Leo unmuted and said, "Mister Kraven, this is my office and not the social causes court where I will take pity. It is nothing personal but business. I have to follow so rules, and cannot ignore them. Please leave, or I would have to ask my security to escort you."
That said he disconnected the call and then connected to June as he said, "June, have Kyle move if he doesn't leave in the next ten seconds."
June nodded with a smile and then said, "Alright."
That was it, Kraven was removed from the company premises, and Leo and Snow had a light lunch before the young man stood up to go and pick up Lily. He had just put on his blazer when June ca over rushing and said, "Sir, shall I arrange the car to pick you up?"
Leo raised his brow and asked, "What is this about?"
June sighed and said, "That guy from earlier, he has co over with dia people and they are blocking the main gate."
Leo smiled and said, "Why shall we be afraid when we haven't done anything wrong?"
June was surprised, and impressed at the sa ti. Then Leo said, "Here, get seven sets of these docunts printed and wrapped up in nice file covers. It is ti that I made so money."
June was confused but then she received a folder on her mobile. She found went to the copy room and printed seven sets of the docunts, filed them and went downstairs to hand them over to Leo. The young man was standing before the reporters who would have shoved their mics in his throat had it not been for Kyle and his team.
Leo looked at the reporters and raised his hand to signal them to calm down. Then he took the seven sets of docunts and said, "You all ca here thinking that I conspired against Mister Kraven and used my position as a board mber to harm his interests, right?"
After speaking he looked at the man with a hooked nose, who was standing on the side. This person was none other than Kraven himself. Leo took a binder from June and said, "These are the docunts and the evidence that we ca across during the investigation. The process to do a background check is a mandate that the wagoner group follows everywhere, and you can find that looking at all the previous collaborations. Empires are not built overnight, and if the people lose trust in you, just one night is enough to cause destruction. Here, please check it yourself and tell where I targeted Mister Kraven for personal motives."
The dossiers were passed to the press people and that beca the nail in the coffin that would ruin Arthur Kraven completely. Arthur Kraven realized that all this ti Leo had been acting amicably with him because he was waiting for a chance to trap him. If these docunts were made public knowledge, then many people will co after him with big guns, the governnt.
Arthur Kraven was a businessman and he was aware what it would be like if the cops and the social authorities ca after him. It would leave him no choice and place to run or hide. Clover Nation might not be as fool proof as it sounded, but the governnt loved its face. If sothing ca out to the public and drove the public opinion against them, then even if the accused happen to be the Pri Minister himself, they will do all that was needed to settle these things.
