Chapter 71 71: Daddy Got Schooled.

Leo got back in the car with Jock, who asked, "Sir, what did you mean in there?" The young man smiled and replied, "If anyone from Pristine Security steps onto the land of Clover Nation, they would be scrutinized. So, there is a limited number of people that I can hire, right?" Jock nodded, and Leo continued, "In Angkor City, there are many thugs who are doing nothing but feed on people. The ironic fact is that the people even fear these guys. So, instead of making them enemies, just use them as a tool in a way where they can earn enough. It's not as if I am the only one that needs protection, right? These people are mostly driven by the lust of recognition and power. Give them a little of both and they stay in line." He wanted to establish a domestic security company and run in cooperation with various markets, the protection fee would become a management fee. Leo wanted to start a property management company and for that he found the very apt staff. The gang members were all loyal to Simon and if he told them to do something, they would do it. This is why the young man did not hesitate and exerted dominance on Simon Silence. Jock drove back around the city, Leo was in no rush to go back to the office before lunch. Lily told him to come back at lunch, as they wandered around, he thought about something and picked up his phone before calling Percie Hibiscal. The latter picked up the call, and asked, "What can I do for you sir? Lily just went out with Madam Snow." Leo nodded and asked, "Can you tell me if we got the Cardinal Mansion's possession?" Percie Hibiscal replied, "Not as of yet, however, shouldn't the mansion be under Vincent Cardinal's name?" Leo smiled and replied, "Nope, my father bought that house as a residence of the CEO, and it comes under one of the company assets. So, please check the status of the house." Percie replied, "Give me a few minutes." Leo wanted to check if the possession of the house had been given to the new company president. If yes, then he would like to visit the place and renovate it as per his need. He was sure that Vincent must have changed the decoration according to his taste, and Leo didn't want even a single wisp of Vincent or Echo's persona in the house. A few minutes passed, and Percie called back, as she said, "Sir, the house has been registered under the highest shareholder name, Vincent Cardinal is given a month's time to vacate the house." Leo sighed and replied, "Fine, that would be all." The call was disconnected and Leo said, "Jock, you can drive around or something, I will take a nap." Jock nodded and slowed down the vehicle to cruise around the city while Leo reclined the passenger seat and entered the virtual realm, all this while he had never slacked in his training and the results were visible to all the people. After an hour when they reached the office, Jock waited to awaken Leo, who took a few minutes to reset his mind and got out of the car. He was on time, it was just after lunch, and Lily should have finished decorating. Leo walked inside the building and directly took the elevator to the top floor. He was just about to exit the elevator when Snow called him. The young man came out, picked up the call, and Lily asked, "Baba, where are you?" Leo smiled and replied, "Outside the office." Lily exclaimed and then Leo found the little figure running up to him with a big grin spread across her face. The young man scooped her up in his arms and asked, "So, now can I go on to check the office?" Lily nodded and the young man walked over slowly, he found that the blinds of the office had been drawn completely to hide the interior. When he walked inside, Leo was surprised, he asked, "Did you do all this?" Lily nodded and said, "Ma helped me, do you like it?" Leo replied, "I love it, my dear." Lily giggled and Leo pecked her cheek. As soon as one entered the office, they would be greeted by a big vase with a live cherry blossom tree inside it. The fallen leaves on the black floor added a rustic charm to it. On the left of the tree was a couch set, a premium leather couch with a stone table in the center. Paired with subtle side lamps, and behind the big couch, a painting that Leo cherished, the girl and the stars, drawn by none other than Lily herself. The young man took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Snow?" Lily pointed at the concealed door that led to a washroom, and as if waiting for the door to be pointed at, Snow came out. She looked at Leo with a smile and asked, "What do you think, is this good?" Leo nodded and said, "The best." Lily said, "Baba, you haven't seen your work table yet." In the place of the previous sleek table, now stood a mahogany table, with a leather chair on the back. Leo asked, "Where are my computers?" Lily giggled and said, "You will see them when you go there." Leo raised his brow as he glanced at his daughter, and asked, "Little miss, are you up to some mischief?" Lily shook her head and said, "It is a surprise." The young man sighed and walked over to the leather chair. He sat down with Lily in his arms, and asked, "I still don't see them." Lily reached over and patted the table. All of a sudden, a grove opened in the table and three seamlessly connected displays were raised from inside the table. Leo was surprised, and then he asked, "Who thought of this?" Snow smiled and replied, "She did. She asked the salesman if they had anything that could be magical for her techie baba." Leo couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. Lily asked, "Baba, why are you laughing? Is this not magical?" Leo shook his head and looked at Lily dotingly before he said, "My darling, the real magic is you." Lily smiled and then she buried her head in his chest as she said, "Baba, you tease Lily. Humph, baddie." Leo and Snow laughed as they enjoyed the antics of the little girl when suddenly he realized that the ceiling was filled with glow in the dark star stickers. He smiled and said, "Love, that is the best thing in this office." 'Ping: Host, it is sensed that you really liked the decorational changes in the office, and your daughter enjoyed doing things for you. You are rewarded with fifty percent stakes in Utopia Research Center. A representative of the management will be calling you soon.' The young man took a deep breath and asked, "So, did you learn anything from today? Would you be able to write a good essay?" Lily raised her head and nodded, before she said, "I will go out and talk with those pretty sisters and ask them what they do."

Lily nodded and then Snow led her to the door of the office and told Jock to look after her. The young guard was flustered but then he nodded and said, "Yes, Madam." Snow watched the two of them leave and came back to sit across the table from Leo and asked, "Where did you go all of a sudden?" She was curious where he went in a hurry that he had to leave Lily with someone else. The young man did not hide, he said, "I went to meet with the goon leader that Vincent hired to demolish the place. Had to settle the account, or it would make them think we are an easy nut to crack." He did not tell her that his settlement had been paid in screams and groans. Snow asked, "Well, if it is all settled then that's good." Leo nodded and asked, "Why did you let her go alone?" Snow looked at him and shook her head before she said, "Protection to a limit is necessary and should be done, but I am not letting you make my daughter a green house plant. If you want her to fly high when she grows up, you need to teach her about the world. Okay? Also, she is followed by Jock, so take it easy.
