Leo and Lily got dressed and left the house. Lily asked in the car, "Baba, what sort of car do you think would fit Sister Symphony? She is not an enthusiast, and if anything she is scared of fast speeds. You should have seen her during the Go-kart session when I took her with . I lapped her thrice."
Leo sighed and said, "Since that is the case, how about we find her a safer car? Like one of those big black SUVs?"
Lily clicked her tongue and said, "She is a girl, what would it look like if she drives such a beefed up car?"
Leo nodded, he was not being thoughtful, thinking about it he said, "How about a small hatchback, but with safety features?"
Lily humd and said, "Okay, if the color is not too loud, it would suit her temperant as well. But do they have such a car?"
The young man nodded and replied, "They do, the wagoner group launched it last year, but they have not yet taken it off the market. Although the sales have been slow, but it is stable, it is a niche group of car so."
Lily nodded as she leaned back in her car seat, Leo drove the vehicle through the city.
...
While the two were heading out to buy out a gift, Snow was flying through the city with five more flying ion engine vehicles in tow. The whole thing caught attention from everyone. The Sigil of the Cardinal Family drawn at the bottom was done overnight, but it was still top of the line work and the people all recognized who the traveller was, they all began to record the videos and post it on the internet.
The dia began to boil up, they were akin to wolves that rushed at the first inkling of a prey these days, but it was fine, while soone wanted to maximize on the dramatic outbreak of this motorcade, they were quickly given a reminder from their board of directors, don’t ss with the Cardinal Group, because they all still rembered the harsh defamation case they lost these few days ago, and to make matters worse, the people supported the Cardinal Group, because every penny that the group won from the suits was reinjected in the social welfare projects.
...
Snow was unaware of the situation and was busy reading the speech that she was supposed to deliver at the University of the White Pearl City, it was a neighboring city to Angkor city, and was famous for big universities. The people were shocked, as the watched the motorcade enter the city and then it landed in the center of the University ground. The students have already gathered and they were all cheering, because this was a new experience for them. Snow walked out with a white professional suit and she wore brown sunglasses. On the right lapel of her suit was a gold pin that was the sigil of the Cardinal Family and on the left lapel was an erald sigil, that was shaped like a clover.
The young lady shook hands with the university directors and then was led to the stage. The Principal stepped up and gave an introduction to the students, and then Snow stepped up with a smile, and took the podium. She looked at the crowd and the people cheered and so even whistled.
The young lady was aware that not everyone here had co with good intention. She smiled and asked, "So, are you done with the tease? How about you imagine your elder sisters or your mothers standing in the public deciding to speak up for themselves and the rights that you have lost but the authorities acting the sa way as you are?"
BOOM!
The delinquents got a taste of reverse psychology at this mont. None of the people expected that Snow would open her speech this way, however, the lady was unfazed and she continued, "You feel enraged that I ntioned your family in this regard, right? Think about what I would feel or what would your families feel when soone else ntions them in this regard. I see that the ground is filled with a lot of tall and sturdy boys. Are you guys going to be the pillar of the nation, and the breadwinner of your household if you continued to have this line of thought taking the best of your skills and potential?
All these years, the older generation has been blaming the governnt for the failures, but is it just the handful of people sitting in their so-called administration office that would handle how this country move forward and that you the people who selected the leaders and the administrators from your own ranks have no duty?
Tell , what do you want? Destruction of what you can be, or the destruction of what you have beco? Do you want to heal yourself and heal the nation or do you wish to stand on the side to slowly beco the part of this rotting system?"
The students realized what was going on. Snow was pointing out toward the fact how the people only acted against the bad things when it happened to them, and gradually they also took part in these acts. Eve teasing was sothing that all n hated but only when it was done to soone they care about. The rest of the ti, they would just watch it all from the side.
One voice echoed in the crowd, "I want to change it."
Followed by it was another wave of support, "I want to change it!"
This one thing began to pop out from various sides in the ground. The crowd began to chant the line together and Snow raised her had before they all stopped, and she said, "I am sure that you all saw the vehicle in which I arrived, right?"
The people replied in unison, "Yes."
Snow said, "That vehicle is just a like a technological glimpse of the future. There are many other things that we need to do to make a future where everyone can smile with and where the questions that you all hold will be answered."
She was kicking it up and then gradually leading them all in to talk about the kind of governnt they would be looking to establish.
...
In the anti, Leo and Lily reached the Wagoner showroom, and they were attended to by a young and attractive salesgirl. Her eyes sparkled when she noticed Leo, but when Lily walked over and took his hand, the girl gulped, because she could sense the strong warning in the honey blonde eyes.
Leo smiled internally but calmly said, "Miss, do you have the Mini Wagon in your store?"
The lady nodded and replied, "Yes, Sir. We do have, but it is just the top model, the sales are slow and the company only makes a mid or base one on order."
Leo nodded with a calm expression and replied, "Show it to ."
The lady nodded and led them towards the shiny black and pink car in the display area. The vehicle was small, a hatch back and looked very cute. Lily looked at Leo and said, "Baba, you are so sly. This is not a wagon; it is a hot hatch."
Leo smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
Lily nodded and said, "It will pass."
Leo shook his head and replied, "My dear little ancestor, if this is a pass, then shall I buy a hyper car for your Sister Symphony?"
Lily chuckled and then began to explore the car. The sales girl had an idea how rich Leo was because she could see the watch on his arm alone was worth more than this car and that’s why she was standing on the side. Leo turned to look at her, and replied, "We are taking it, can you get a registration number before the evening and have it delivered to the address?"
The young salesgirl nodded and said, "Sir, I will handle this right away, do you need any special accessory?"
Leo looked at the car once and then said, "Nothing much, just give the beneficial safety and service coverage for the next five years."
The young lady nodded, and then she dashed off, Leo could hear the exclamation from the main area of the dealership. He watched Lily enter the car, and sit down on the passenger seat before she said, "Baba, what is this thing?"
Leo looked at a crystal embed key placed in the center of the car, and said, "This is the gear knob. It is based on the old design of motor cars and that is why you are finding it odd."
Lily asked him a lot of questions and the young man answered them all, she was a kart driver and her knowledge about these things was also going to be helpful to her in the future.
