Lily took a deep breath when he asked the question. He was really on the verge of crying, and Lily replied, "Baba, you are a Boss, you give job to other people. So, being a boss is not a job it is a designation. You make other people work for you, that is why, you are jobless."
Snow couldn't hold it in, she saw how Leo's face had twisted and she erupted in laughter because of the twisted logic that Lily used to justify her statent. Snow said, "She has taken after you. I believe it wholeheartedly now."
Leo scoffed and turned to look outside the window, and Lily saw Leo sulking, she smiled and said, "Baba, I love you."
Leo narrowed his eyes to look at her and said nothing. However, as the car travelled, Lily continued talking to Leo and gradually she managed to lt his heart with her coy actions. Leo brought Elena inside the house, and the two infants had fallen asleep. Then the young man settled them in the cradles, and found Lily munching on so snacks while watching TV with her Grandma.
Leo sat down beside her and Lily curled up in his lap like a cat. Momo the cat also ca over to watch the TV and Lily asked, "Baba, what are they talking about? Is the world really going to end?"
Leo shook his head and replied, "No, it is just a teor that is going to fly past the planet. Not going to hit us. Also, it is not coming tomorrow, but one year later."
Lily humd and asked, "Baba, what is a teor?"
Leo replied after so thought, "A teor is a rock that flies through the space. It is made up of rare minerals."
Lily asked, "What kind of rare minerals?"
Leo explained and Lily was surprised before she said, "Baba, are rare tals important?"
Leo nodded and replied, "Yes, they are very important. These tals can boost the technological growth of the world by a lot. The reason why they are costly and controlled by the governnts. If we can take them it would be very nice."
Lily humd and then said, "Baba, why not capture the teors and take the rare tals in it? Do people live on them?"
Leo shook his head while his brain began to work at a high speed. He said, "No, they don't have anyone living there."
'Ping: Host, your daughter made a suggestion to conquer the stars. If you manage to achieve a breakthrough in this within a year your task will be complete. Reward: Advanced Space Station Blueprint.'
Lily nodded and looking at the TV she gradually fell asleep. Leo noticed this, and picked her up in his arms to take her back to her room. Momo followed him with her tail standing perpendicular to the ground. After tucking Lily in, Leo made a beeline to the study room, and began to operate the computer.
His skills were high, but he had no idea how to co up with the stuff that could be used for mining on a teor. He suddenly thought of sothing and opened the system shop. There he located what he wanted, a Space Miner, and a few more space ships, however, looking at the price, he sighed and shook his head.
Then he thought for a second and looked for the technological blueprints, and sure enough, there was a whole lot of data available on how to develop the space miner. However, the price of this technological data was also high.
Leo had no idea what to do, because if he could manage to get his way around this, the world would change drastically and the status of the family would also rise higher. Suddenly, when he was looking at the few key details that were ntioned under the tab, where he spotted a word Ion Engine.
The young man took a deep breath and tried to see if he could buy this technology separately. After a few monts, he located what he was seeking and then he decided to purchase it using the wealth he had accumulated all these years.
This single engine technology could push the level of transportation to the level that the normal people have never even imagined. Leo was not going to eliminate the combustion engine trend just yet, even the electric vehicles have yet to over take the combustion engine, how could this new tech do that? The first market he would target this at would be aviation, both civilian and military.
After inspecting the technology blueprint and data for a bit, Leo ntioned the project to the researchers in an urgent eting and gave them so guidelines. He said, "I will use the artificial intelligence that I am using these days to try and get so more data about these, but at the sa ti, you all should work on it as well."
The aviation departnt was now solely owned by Leo and so they had no problem moving forward with this. They didn't have many ambitious projects going on either. This was the projected to develop a completely brand new engine system from scratch and they had the funds and the ti they wanted. Which scientist didn't study without ambition in their minds?
They were all so powered up as if they were pumped with chicken blood. The news was sealed but it still reached the ears of the military officers, they contacted Percei Hibiscal who sighed and said, that she would have to ask the president for the confirmation.
Within one week of this incident, Cardinal Group and the military began to talk about the collaboration. Leo was not nosy, he just focused at the task at ho.
…
Leo changed the diaper of his two treasures and the system pinged, 'Ping: Host, congratulation for achieving the small milestone, five hundred diapers have been changed. Reward: Saintly touch, if you massage the children now, it would stimulate the effect similar to deep tissue massage and help them grow stronger and healthy. This technique would work on Lily as well.'
Leo was surprised but then he nodded, he looked at Julian who was smiling on the cushion board and asked, "So, little one, do you want to experience a massage?"
Leo used coconut oil to massage the children and they both giggled during the process. Snow watched them from the side and she said, "Leo, when can I go to work?"
Leo froze in his actions and he asked, "Why do you want to go to work already? Are you bored of looking at all day long?"
Snow was surprised and asked, "Where is this coming from?"
Leo shook his head and sighed as he said, "You break my heart."
Snow was shocked and then looked at his dramatic expression before she sighed and replied, "Why are you being so dramatic?"
Leo looked at her seriously and said, "Love, giving birth is already a walk to the edge of life and death, and you have not yet rested completely. How can you go to office so soon? Also, when Lily had co, do you think I am unaware of how you fared? You need to make up for all that now."
Snow was surprised but then asked, "Honey, I am just gaining rust by staying at ho. I want to go out to move."
Leo took a deep breath and replied, "I will take you to the office personally but after three weeks. You have to complete the three months of isolation and also, we need to have new family pictures to take."
Snow sighed, she knew that she cannot win against Leo when he was this serious, so she took out another card, "Well, Marian is in town and she is pregnant, also Cherry also wants to hold a night stay for us sisters. You have to let go there at least."
Leo thought for a few minutes and said, "Fine, but no alcohol, no late night staying up. I will send Beta with you. Agreed?"
Snow was shocked and opened her eyes wide as she asked, "Do you take for a kid?"
Leo nodded and replied, "You are no lesser than them. You think I don't know that you want to go party? These days you have been babbling in your sleep. All those little things, I know them."
Snow blushed slightly before she narrowed her gaze and said, "Leo Christopher Cardinal, you have changed. You no longer love ."
She stood up and made her way out of the nursery and Leo quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in his embrace before he said, "If I didn't love you, where did these three treasures co from?"
He was holding his wife in his arms but he also had Beta stand on the side watching the children. Snow smacked his forearm and Leo said, "Fine, you can go, but don't go too wild. I am worried your back pain might co back."
Snow rolled her eyes and said, "Fine, I promise, I will not ss around too much."
Leo pecked her cheek and said, "Sorry, I am just very worried about your health these days."
Snow sighed and replied, "I know, but I also know that it is because I have nothing else to do these days, which is causing this trouble."
Leo nodded and asked, "What shall we do about it then?"
Snow leaned in his arms and said, "Well, now that is the million dollar question."
