Chapter 104 104: Heather & Daisy.

Leo was laying in his bed, and in his mind, the system panel was glowing. 'Ping: Host the assessment is complete, you receive ten free attribute points, blueprint to craft the white heather & daisy defense armament, strengthening potion, three month fortune card.' Leo was surprised he understood the free attribute points, and the fortune card, however, he didn't understand what the nine daisy defense armament and the strengthening potion were all about. He said, 'System, can you explain what this defense armament means?' 'Ping: Host, daisy is a flower that represents protection. The heather & daisy armament will prevent the wearer from life threatening harm in nine situations. It will also have a chance of restraining the people from having ill-thoughts toward the wearer to some extent as daisy symbolizes innocence and purity. It will cleanse the dirty minds. You can craft this armament by mixing the powder of dried heather & daisy flower in glaze and water acquired from a holy and clean water surface, then you can sculpt the clay in the shape of two different flowers and the armament would be ready.' Leo thought about it and asked, 'What about the strengthening potion?' 'Host: This potion can be consumed by your kin and it will help elevate their physical strength slowly, prolong their lives, and also passively enforce mental calmness so that they could handle crucial situations.' The young man took a deep breath and closed his eyes to sleep. The night passed very quickly and the young man woke up because of his biological clock. He recovered very quickly, and turned to look at the timid figure drooling all over his chest. He couldn't help but smile. After a few minutes, he slowly put the girl to the side and got up to go for his jog. Just when he came out of the house, he found that Axel and Joel were still standing guard in the garden. The young man took a deep breath and said, "Axel, Joel, why are you guys not taking the day off?" Axel smiled and said, "Sir, we aren't tired, after all, last night our role was just that of a fencesitter." Leo shook his head and said, "You might think that you didn't play a big role, but I am grateful that you stayed behind to look after them. Thank you." He bowed his head and Axel quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Sir, please do not shame us. We are your guards and we should have prevented something like this from happening in the first place." Leo shook his head and said, "Forget it, what happened happened, let's focus on the present. I will be heading out for a walk." The guards wanted to stop him as they thought he had just taken a bullet to his shoulder, but Leo left in a blink. They exchanged gazes and sighed in defeat. While running, Leo was thinking about the situation if he should ask Major Hardin to get the hostages to sign the non-disclosure agreement to prevent them from speaking about him. However, thinking about it, such methods were usually wasted. Someone would inevitably speak and it would spread. The one thing that he could ensure was to get in touch with Aston Arc, and have him appeal to the guests in the auditorium to hold their mouths. The rest of the people didn't see much of him in the dim lit space as they were busy running away. He reached back home and then went straight to the kitchen. He brushed up a simple meal and then thinking about it, he asked, 'System, the strengthening potion.' The system replied, 'In the refrigerator, the bottle of probiotic has been modified by the system.'

The young man was surprised and asked, 'Couldn't you have given me a colorless and odorless potion directly?' 'Ping: Host, the system cannot manifest things out of nothing, but making changes to the things is easy. This is also in accordance with establishing a logic behind things.' Leo thought and stopped arguing about it. He took out the bottle that the system had changed, and it turned out that the content of the bottle was indeed different from that of the other bottles. The scent of the probiotic beverage was faintly sweeter. Leo divided the probiotic in two equal halves and mixed it with normal probiotics, before bringing it back to his room. Snow was up, but she was still laying in bed, gazing at the ceiling in a daze. Lily was sleeping snuggling closer to the lady. She came back from the stupor when she noticed Leo standing next to her. The young man sighed and asked softly, "Are you thinking if what happened yesternight was a dream?" Snow nodded and Leo shook his head as he sighed. He said, "Don't worry, aren't we all safe?" The young lady nodded and then she sat up from the bed. Lily whined a little but as Snow patted her back she went back to sleep. Leo handed her the probiotic and said, "Take it. From now on, we should use this often. It is helpful in digestion and keeps the mood good." Snow frowned and asked, "Aren't you thinking about what happened last night?" Leo shook his head and said, "When I woke up in the morning I was indeed thinking about what happened last night. These things I did, and the way we managed to come out of that hell, however, it is still not something that would hold me back. I am thankful that God gave me another day with you and Lily. I cannot change what happened in the past, and would rather make the best of the moment. If anything, yesterday was a lesson on how life is so fickle and random." Snow looked at her husband and smiled as she said, "You, when did you become so wise?" Leo looked back at her and said, "Isn't it all thanks to being with you? The wisest decision of my life was to propose to you in college." Snow smiled even brightly and then she took the glass of probiotic and chugged it down in one go. Leo saw that Lily was also peeking at him so he smiled at her and asked, "What are you looking at, Darling?" Lily rubbed her eyes and asked, "Baba, does your arm still hurt?" Leo shook his head and Lily sat up before crawling into his arms. The young man could understand that as a child she was feeling very needy at the moment so he didn't stop her and even coaxed her into drinking the probiotic. Then the mother and daughter began to go through the daily motions and Leo waited for a bit before he took a shower and came out dressed in casual white polo t-shirt and blue denims. Snow asked, "Where are you going?" Leo replied, "I am going to buy some flower pods for the garden. It looks very bland." Snow nodded, and Lily said, "Baba, I also want to go." Leo smiled and said, "Yes, come." Snow looked at him worriedly, and he assured her that it would be fine. Anastasia also said, "Snow, life doesn't stop for anyone. What happened wasn't in your control, so don't bother much about it. Also, Lily should go out and rewrite the things she sees around her." Then the young man took the little girl out and they got in the car directly. Lily asked, "Baba, what flowers will we get?" Leo told her and then Lily began to ask a lot of questions about what different flowers meant, and Leo talked to her while they drove to the nursery south of the city. While they were driving, Percie Hibiscal called Leo and asked, "President, are you okay?" Leo replied, "I am fine now, thank you for asking, Miss Hibiscal. Is there anything that you need?" Percie Hibiscal replied, "Sir, the date of our new product launch is getting closer so Mister Kashyap wanted to consult with you about finalizing the product. He was hesitating to contact you given the circumstances, so, it fell upon me to ask, could you spare us some time?" Leo smiled faintly and said, "I am thankful to the concern you all have shown, but I am fine. However, I won't be coming to the office, it would be better if you can send over the tech team to my house with the final products. I will check them there." Percie Hibiscal replied, "I will inform them. What time would be a good time, Sir?" Leo thought about it and replied, "In the evening, if they don't mind. The family members are resting at the moment so, by the evening it should be fine." Percie Hibiscal nodded, and made some small talk. She made sure to ask about Lily and Snow separately before disconnecting the call. Soon, the pair of father and daughter reached the nursery and then Leo carried the little girl inside the settlement that was covered with a lot of young plants. Lily beamed and said, "So many flowers, how many flowers are we going to buy Baba?" Leo smiled and said, "Twenty, apart from two, you can select all that you like." Lily clapped her hands and held his face in her palms and said slowly, "Baba, you are my hero." Leo smiled and pecked her forehead as they began to shop flowers for Lily. ... You want more chapters?
