Chapter 193: Clean Up.

Chapter 193: Clean Up.Leo watched Cosmo Tyro standing before him with an amused expression and he asked, "Mister Tyro, if you are not going to tell me about what you are doing here, then please leave, I have some rather important issues to address than just to bear your glare."

Cosmo Tyro clenched his fist and took a deep breath before he sighed and calmed down. He asked, "Sir, I understand that you are a board member of the Wagoner Group, but I am responsible for managing the operation in this region. Why are you trying to interfere with my work?"

Leo replied, "I am sure you must have seen the evidence against the Kraven Enterprises, so what is it that is making you so adamant about getting into a partnership with them?"

Cosmo Tyro replied calmly, "They are offering the best terms. Why not?"

Leo nodded and asked, "Did you make a the final enquiry?"

Cosmo Tyro nodded confidently and said, "Yes, I have, we didn’t find anything bad about them."

Leo nodded and said, "Since that is the case, you can go ahead."

Cosmo Tyro was stunned, and they he asked, "That’s all?"

Leo shrugged his shoulder and asked, "Do you want me to give my family name? Yes, that is all. However, remember this one thing, that I am a shareholder and you work for the board. Understood?"

Cosmo wanted to curse Leo but then he took the win and left the room with his head held high. He had absolutely no idea that as soon as he stepped out of the office, Leo had sent the file recording all his actions in the past few years as the Regional Managing Director of the company to the board members.

Although Leo held only a small amount of equity, he still held a vote. At the footnote of the file he wrote, ’I would like to clean up the region as to improve the operations, those who agree please respond, because I don’t wish to lose my dividends because some asshole decided to play favorites. If any of you know Cosmo Tyro, please bring him back to your side, I would prefer an amicable path as much as possible.’

That was it, and after sorting out this issue, he called the number on the sleek black business card. The call went through and the person on the other side greeted, "Hello."

Leo replied, "Hello, am I talking to Miss Stellar Primal?"

The person replied, "Yes, who is this?"

The voice of the person was very calm and soothing but Leo could tell that it was indifferent as well. He said, "My name is Leo Cardinal. Last night, you left the card with my daughter, and clicked a few pictures of hers. So, I would like to ask you if I can get those photos back?"

Stellar Primal was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Mister Cardinal, although I knew you would be calling me over, but not that it would be so quick. Is your wife aware of your eagerness to talk to me?"

Leo replied, "Miss Primal, I used to think that it was just that bastard brother of yours who loved to talk shit but hearing you, I have a fear that it might run in your family. Also, just so that you know, this conversation is being recorded. So, please behave well."

Stellar didn’t expect that she will be shunned away like this, and she asked, "Can you tell me why have you called over?"

Leo smiled and replied, "I heard that you wish to take the crown of the Primal Family? Is this true?"

Stellar sighed and replied, "Well, I have always wanted to use the ill-gotten gains to help the world. However, I realized that my station in the family is too small, and the rest of them don’t even consider me as a member of the family. That was when I realized that we are nothing more than bargaining chips for the old Primal. So, I decided to carve a path of my own."

Leo leaned back in his chair as he swiveled it around and asked, "This is why you decided to ally with the biggest enemy of your family. Me."

Stellar replied, "Indeed, I have no attachment to them. That man married my mother because she was from an influential family, however, after a crisis when the influence left us, we were treated like scum. Out of the five children he has, the most favored one is Carole, and the least favored is me. What do you think, Mister Cardinal? Would like to like to bet on those odds?"

Leo chuckled and replied, "Miss Stellar, I myself am a person who had to gain everything from the scratch so I understand you, and I am willing to ally with you. However, two things I would like to state right now."

Stellar hummed in agreement and asked, "What is it?"

Leo replied, "When the times come to take down Carole, I want to do it, and he shall not be allowed to walk this earth. I will not take into any pleadings, he has to die, and that too at my hands."

Stella could sense the hatred in his voice, she fell back on her bed, and then asked, "What is the second condition?"

Leo replied with a calm voice, "Your entire family, everyone who is indulged in a smallest crime must be put on the pedestal. I want to clean up the world for my Daughter to live a happy life. So, if I found that you used your power to save someone, I will pull back and leave you for Carole to prey. I am sure you know his feral behavior better than me."

Stellar chuckled and said, "Here I thought it would be something heinous, well, I agree to this. I have long wanted to bring down the Primals. Happy cooperation?"

Leo replied, "Happy Cooperation."

That was it, the call was disconnected after they agreed for a time to meet, and Stellar smiled as she said, "Well, Primal family you provoked a demon and now that demon seeks your blood."

...

Leo sent the call recording to Snow and a few minutes later, she came over to his office and asked, "Are you sure she will agree to it all, for real?"

The young man nodded and replied, "Stellar was ousted by the Primal Family, because her maternal family lost influence on the southern mining sector. She was then left to fend for herself among the bunch of wolves raised there in the Primal Mansion. So, yes, she has the motive."

Snow nodded and said, "I used to think that the noble families of the stag nation are the bad ones, but these people. They make me want to puke my breakfast. How disgusting can you be to treat children like a meaning to get stronger, and the elders were just sitting home counting cash."

Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, that was the case for most of the families who got deep into the mud of power. Their mind is so used to the stress and tension that to function normally they need the stress and tension or they will fall. Stellar was one of the rare few who managed to run away from that twisted route, and Carole completely fell in the loop."

Snow sighed and said, "It would be nice if she could do what she has said."

Leo nodded and Snow said, "There are many people who want to thank us for the charity we have done."

The young man asked, "What is this about?"

Snow told him about the good will they have incurred and Leo said, "You can handle it as you deem fit."

The lady nodded and said, "Percie told you about the share value climb?"

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, she did, but I don’t wish to open the seats for the people to come in and reap benefits for our benefits, so I discarded it."

Snow thought for a bit and said, "Well, this closed company policy might give birth to enemies. How about we enter strategic partnership with a few good names and see how it goes? Not many people take this route so they will not predict such a move, and we will have support as well."

Leo nodded and said, "Fine, that will do, you and Percie can handle it. I have another project coming up. So, my mind will be occupied with the inspections and design tasks."

Snow smiled and shook her head at his words. The young man suddenly looked at his watch and said, "It is about time to pick up Lily. I have to meet her teachers today. The monthly parents teacher meeting is today."

Snow nodded and said, "Good job, Baba. I will see you both at home."

She leaned over and pecked his lips as she waltzed out of the office, and Leo picked up his coat as he left to attend the parents-teacher meeting.
