Chapter 122 122: Cut From The Same Cloth.

The mission was finished, but Leo felt that his mind was still filled with rage, and he took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He asked, 'What is the reward system?'

'Ping: Host, you have been given seven breakthroughs in Aeronautics and space aviation. The results would be on your table once you reach home. Given that you have managed to kill the last three people at the same time, you will be given a triple bonus voucher. Whatever amount of charity that your daughter makes would be returned three fold.'

Leo didn't mind this, because he had one more thing to do when he got back home. That one thing was to buy out three candy factories and have them named over to his daughter. It was a promise that had yet to be fulfilled by him.

Marco finished the clean up and came to meet him. The latter said, "Sir, everything is fine, we have cleaned up the entire place."

Leo nodded and said, "Handle the rehabilitation of the staff that saw everything. Give them money to forget what they saw here. Arrange transport, I am going back home."

Marco nodded and quickly did what he was told, and after half an hour, Leo took off in the helicopter and landed on top of the hotel where he was staying. He came to his room, changed his clothes and then after resting for a couple of hours, he went to the market.

In this city, he bought many fabrics as they were the speciality of this city. Along with some jewelry and then headed back to the Clover Nation with Zeenat beside her.

The other lady he met when he went to kill his first target would also be transferred over in a few days as well. The plane flew through the sky and it took them around eight hours to get back to the limits of Angkor City.

The flight landed, Leo went through the immigration process and Zeenat followed the procedure and they were allowed to go out. Kyle was waiting for Leo at the airport with a car. When the young man spotted Zeenat, he was surprised, but he came to bow to Leo and greeted him before he asked, "How was your trip, Sir?"

Leo nodded and replied, "It was good, all is settled. How is everything here, Kyle?"

Kyle smiled and replied, "Things are fine, Sir. Someone tried to cause a ruckus at one of the shops calling us the fraudsters, but it was all dealt with by Madam."

Leo nodded and said, "How is Lily?"

Kyle sighed and said, "Young Miss has been a little down on energy these days."

Leo nodded, he raised his wrist and said, "Take me to the school, it is time to pick her up."

Kyle nodded and quickly directed the vehicle to reach the Primus Elementary School. The car drove through the traffic with great ease. When they reached the school, the students had just been coming over with the Teachers incharge.

Leo opened the door and said, "Zeenat, come along."

Zeenat nodded and opened the door to get out and followed behind Leo. The young man spotted Carter Elliot's wife, she was here to pick up her son as well. Her husband has been left to fend for himself after their divorce and Wayne Elliot looked better than before.

However, it was just a passing thought in his mind, when a sweet voice rang in his ears, "Baba!"

Lily dashed up to him, and Leo bent down to pick her up in his arms and embraced her gently as he said, "I am back, Love."

Lily also snuggled back in his neck and said, "I missed you!"

Leo could sense a little moisture on his nape, his daughter missed him so much that she was crying. Leo sighed and replied, "Well, I will not go out alone. Also, I have gotten you a lot of things and also a friend."

Lily raised her head to look at him with teary eyes and asked, "Who?"

Leo turned to look at Zeenat and said, "This is Elder Sister Zeenat. She will protect you inside the school. There will be another person coming to keep her company, so be polite with them, and listen to their instructions. Okay?"

Lily nodded and she looked at Zeenat before scanning the person from head to toe and then she smiled and said, "Big Sister Zeenat, hello!"

Zeenat knew this would happen and she nodded and said as softly as she could, "Hello, Young Miss."

Leo diffused her predicament and said, "When Zeenat was young, she was attacked by stupid people who hit her head. She cannot smile, so in future, do not think that just because she cannot smile she doesn't like you. Okay?"

Lily nodded and then she said, "I will protect Big Sister Zeenat from now on."

Leo chuckled and said, "Okay, my little warrior. Come, let us go to the principal's office and inform her that Zeenat would be coming along with you from now on."

The formalities were completed very quickly and Zeenat was given a special visitor identity card; without this card, she won't be able to get inside the school.

Yes, the school had realized the possibilities of an attack after what happened last time and they have increased the number of security guards in the campus.

Kyle then drove the people to the Mansion, and Leo told him to arrange an accommodation for Zeenat, to give her a separate room that she would be sharing with one more person. The accommodations were located inside the Cardinal Mansion only.

…

The people reached home, and Leo picked up his apron and directly entered the kitchen while singing a nursery rhyme with Lily who followed him while giggling and chuckling.

Zeenat was being introduced to the rest of the squad on duty and they all were casual men so it was not a problem for her to mingle with them.

Inside the kitchen, the father daughter pair waged a war against ingredients and they baked cakes, and made noodles and a couple more dishes. The only problem Leo was suffering from tonight was how his daughter preached that chicken and fish were cute.

He couldn't help but recall how she said the same thing about the rabbit and didn't let him hunt. So he decided to teach her the laws of the food chain.

Leo asked, "Lily, do you think Tigers are strong?"

Lily nodded, and Leo asked, "Do you know where they get so much strength?"

The little girl shook her head and Leo said, "They get energy from the food they eat. Now, if they were to eat grass and leaves, they would need to eat so much more. Like an elephant, right."

Lily nodded and spoke in a brooding tone, "Yes, they eat so much."

Leo hummed as he sliced up some onions and said, "Yes, that is because the plants have less nutrition in them. Now, if we let chickens grow unlimitedly, they will leave us no space to live, you know."

Lily asked him how that would work, Leo told her and then he told her how eating chicken is a way to keep their population under control. However, what Lily said next shook him, "So, does that mean nature also eats humans to keep us under control?"

Leo was stunned and asked, "Why do you say so?"

Lily replied, "If not so, then why do we send people to the ground?"

The young man sighed and said, "Baby, you know, sometimes you are so perceptive that I get scared."

Lily tilted her head and asked, "What is this perceptive?"

Leo smiled and replied, "People who can see farther."

Lily then dashed out of the kitchen and said, "I will go to the backyard and see how far I can see."

Leo looked at her back and chuckled as he finished making his chicken dish on the side. Soon, he went out to the backyard and found the little girl staring at the sky while frowning. He scooped her up in his arms and pecked her cheek as he said, "Love, you will understand what Baba means in the future. For now, we shall be calm and go to eat some food."

Lily rubbed her eyes and nodded. She had been spending her whole day in the school, and was hungry but the joy of meeting her father had caused her to forget all about her fatigue and thus she even tried something silly.

As they went inside to have lunch, Leo found that Anastasia had returned from outside, and said, "Leo, you could have told me that you were coming back. I went out for a meeting today, and thought of picking Lily from school, only to find she wasn't there. Thanks to Kyle who passed the information, or I might have gone mad."

Leo chuckled as he sent a morsel of chicken to his daughter's mouth and said, "Sorry, Ma."

A few minutes later, Snow came back home, and looking at the two people eating, she said, "Little ancestor, now that your dashing Baba is back, can you please sign up now?"

Leo raised his brow and looked at Snow, who said, "This kid isn't willing to sign up for the Piano Concerto held by the school."

Leo looked at Lily and smiled as he said, "We can sign up, I will teach you."

Lily blew him a kiss, with gleeful eyes, and the young man returned the gesture. While Snow looked at her, and asked, "Why do you not love me like this?"

Lily hopped off her chair, embraced her mother, and kissed her cheeks with her greasy lips and said sheepishly, "Sorry Ma."
