Chapter 80 80: Double Reward.

Leo finished with disposing the bodies and it was already past noon. The young man was still a bit shaken from the scene he witnessed during the fight, and Kyle had to help him get inside the car before they headed back to the city. Leo closed his eyes, and then he entered the virtual realm where he asked the system to create a scenario where he had to witness such gory sights. The system warned him, 'Ping: Host, if you take this route then you might end up becoming a colder person.' Leo had his own reasons and said, 'The after effects of what happened there are strong and I won't be able to adjust even if you give me ten days, let alone ten hours. I am aware for sure that Spring Marlin will find that Trevor is missing and then she would try to contact me to probe. If I couldn't stay focused it might lead her to catch onto something. I can't have that.' The system heeded his reasoning and then began a loop where Leo was fighting in the jungle and his gun training took a more surreal turn. For the next ten hours in his mind, Leo was just killing, killing, and then killing some more. Gradually, his uneasy heart became used to the sight of blood, and it also cleared his conscience that there was nothing wrong in killing those who hold the intention to harm him or his family. The car entered the city and then Leo headed home. The journey took him a couple of hours, and he was exhausted. Just when they were about to reach home, Leo sat up and opened his eyes. Kyle was sitting next to him in the back seat, he instinctively clenched his fist, because he sensed the aura of a killer radiating from Leo. He wasn't alone, even Jock sensed this. They both exchanged a quick glance and saw Leo looking out of the window, before he fished out his mobile, and began to scroll through the few pictures of his family that he had downloaded from cloud. His aura was reined a little, and then he even smiled as he saw Lily's picture. The young man had calmed down after watching the pictures of his loved ones. After a few minutes, he calmed down and then he said, "Well, guys, thank you for your help today." Kyle shook his head like a rattle and said, "No Sir, what are you saying, we only did our job." Leo shook his head and said, "I will have them give you three a special bonus later on. Don't worry, I don't treat my people badly." Kyle and Jock wanted to say something when the guy driving the car said, "Long live, Chairman." Leo chuckled as he turned his head to look outside the window of the car again. … The people got out of the car, and Leo asked, "Kyle, how long do you think it would take the people to locate their remains?" The man shook his head and said, "Never. We burned them, and then buried them in five different locations. The only thing they can locate is the shooting sight and we have removed all the bullets from their as well. You can rest assured, Sir, it won't come back to us. I will have Jinx leave the country right away, and Milo will handle the monitoring system." Leo nodded, and said, "Send someone to monitor Spring Marlin, I want to know every step that she takes." Kyle nodded and went to arrange things as Leo entered the house, and as soon as he did, two little figures ran up to him. Leo was surprised, and then he bent down to pick up Lily in his arms who giggled and as he was about to walk inside, a soft meow reminded him that the kitten was also there. The young man bent down again, picked up Momo with his hand and placed her on his shoulder as he walked in. Lily chuckled and said, "I told Momo that if she greets you, I will give her treat." Leo chuckled and said, "What do you get out of it?" Lily replied, "I get to see you smile." Leo was stunned for a second and then he pecked her cheek as he said, "Thank you, my love." They came to the living room, Leo put Lily back on the couch and Momo hopped down while meowing as well. Snow peeked out of the kitchen and said, "Honey, why don't you take a shower? I will finish cooking till then?" Leo nodded and replied, "Yes, be back in a few." He went to his room, took out his pajama and a t-shirt before he went to the washroom. He took a warm shower, washed his hair, soaped himself properly, to make sure that nothing from the sight, sticks to him. Then he came out of the washroom, put his dirty clothes, and shoes in a bag before he went out of the house and gave them to Jock before saying, "Burn them." Jock nodded and agreed, they would have done the same thing because washing doesn't take away the traces of blood, and gun fire. Just because you can't see, doesn't mean that the blood isn't there. … Inside the house, the family had a warm meal, and then they all played a round of scrabble. Leo and Lily teamed up but they still lost to Snow, who then enjoyed an extra scoop of ice cream. Leo coaxed Lily before he gave her his own ice cream, and then put her to bed. The little girl was obedient and she fell asleep very quickly. Leo then retired to his room and he fell on the bed with a dull thump. Snow was applying some cream on her hands, and asked, "Is it done?" Leo replied with a humming sound, and Snow came over to his side, and rubbed his back as she gently asked, "Are you hurt?" The young man shook his head and said, "No, those people were taken down by surprise, we had complete advantage." Snow nodded before she asked, "Can you tell me what happened?" Leo didn't have any trouble, and recited the entire scene unfolding, from the moment he entered the woods, he told her everything about the guns and the attitude of Trevor Marlin. After listening to it all, Snow let go of a sigh and said, "You did good." Leo nodded and then he hugged Lily in his arms before asking, "I was thinking if I should reveal myself to the world. What do you think?" Snow smiled and replied, "I will not think of anything, you should have made a decision already before you asked me. So, I will follow along." Leo nodded and the two of them lay in the bed embracing each other. As the time passed, Snow fell asleep, while the system notified, 'Ping: Host, you have cleared the task of eradicating the threat without involving your daughter, you are rewarded Fire Arm Possession License.' Leo smiled and was about to feel happy when the system said, 'Ping: Host, earlier when you came home, your daughter said that she wanted to see you smile. That is a very pure expression of the love she feels for you. To make sure that you carry out your responsibilities, system is rewarding you, with a random gift box.' Leo saw a random gift box appear in the void, it looked like a hologram, and Leo thought, 'Open.' The box was opened and a notification sounded in his mind, 'Ping: You have obtained three chances of vital recovery. Once used the opportunity will be rendered useless. Can be used on immediate family members and limited to subordinates.' Leo was shocked, and then he thought what a good thing it was to win from a random box. However, he quickly calmed down and began to think about the future. … On the other side of the city, Spring Marlin was pacing inside her luxury suite. She was looking at the screen of her phone time and time again. Suddenly, the phone rang, startling her. She took a deep breath and picked up the call. The hoarse voice of her father sounded from the other side, "Get out of that country right away." Spring Marlin was shocked and asked, "What happened?" The person replied, "Trevor is missing, we cannot contact him, and even his last location is not known to us. Until we can find him, come back." The call was disconnected, and Spring stood in her spot frozen. Her face turned pale, and she clenched her fists. Just then her guard walked in and said, "Young Miss, we have gathered the information you wanted us to. Leo Cardinal has a big enemy, Carole Primal, the young managing director of the Tyrant Group." Spring raised her brow and said, "Very well, let's see what value does Carole Primal holds, and how we can use him. However, first, we need to head back home. Let's go. We leave in an hour." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
