Chapter 265: Toxic.

Matilda and Socrates lay in the bed next to each other covered in a sheet. They both looked at each other for a moment before Matilda stood up from the bed, and put on her clothes before she said, "Get out of here, Socrate."Socrate Primal sat up and sighed, "Can you still not let go of your pride?"

Matilda turned to look at him, the gentleness in her eyes had vanished completely and she said, "The moment your father told me to leave and you didn’t do anything, that was the first strike. Then when I had to fight my way back in my family for power, I hated you even more and that was second strike. Now that my son has been killed because of your games, and this is the third strike.

You have ten minutes to fuck off from the place."

That said she stood up and walked inside the washroom. Socrate sighed and stood up to put on his clothes, because he knew that while this woman might have some softness for him, she would not back off from her decision.

...

Leo was still in his office, when suddenly, the system ping, ’Ping: Host, Matilda Luger has sent out a team of mercenaries to sabotage several of the company factories and she has also made move against Lily. Protect the family and the company. Reward: License to Kill.’

Leo was shocked and his brain was pumped with high octane juice. He picked up his phone and called Zeenat. The call connected quickly and the young man said, "This is an emergency, pick Lily, and leave the school. Head home right away."

That was it, he didn’t care what move has been made against Lily, the first thing he had to ensure was her safety and he can check on the people involved in this mess later. Then he called Kyle, and said, "Alert everyone in the security unit. Across all the factories, all the offices, and the construction site. No harm should befall the employees. If the security spots any troublemaker, they are free to call the police."

Kyle was shocked but he didn’t dare to hesitate. Leo called the mayor of the city, and when the call was connected, he said, "Mayor Duno, this is Leo Cardinal. I apologize for calling you out of nowhere but can you please alert the police chief to pay attention to the areas where the factories of my company are located?"

The mayor was shocked as this was a big favor but he knew that Leo wasn’t a small figure in the big city and he said, "Mister Cardinal, I promise to you that I will do my best to help you solve this trouble."

The young man thanked the old mayor, and then he walked out of his office quickly. Snow was holding a meeting and Leo just barged in and said, "Snow, I need you, now."

The expression on his face was so serious that Snow stood up instantly and said, "Dismissed, we will discuss this all later."

Then she walked over to him and Leo grabbed her hand to lead her out of the office. He walked in large strides and when they reached the parking area, Leo said, "Go straight home, and tell me when you have reached. I have asked Zeenat to bring Lily back as well. So if you find they haven’t arrived inform me as soon as possible."

Snow didn’t ask anything else, she could sense that he was angry and he was worried at the same time. Leo then looked at the guards and said, "If anyone tries to mess with you, or block your path, shoot first and talk later. Give one verbal warning, and one shot on the ground. Then take out their legs and wait for ambulance."

The guards nodded, it has been very rare for Leo to give them firing orders but they understood the gravity of the situation. The young man got inside the car of his own and drove to the southern area where Simone Silence operated. Even if the Luger family managed to connect the dots, he would just handle all this with efficiency and those who mess with him would die.

...

Zeenat had collected Lily from the class, and they were walking through the corridor when they came across the janitor. Suddenly, Zeenat sensed something and her body moved instinctively, and she shielded Lily behind her. The Janitor who had been sweeping the floor with a monotonous action suddenly raised his mop in the air and pointed it toward Zeenat, and then he pulled on a hidden trigger button.

Zeenat was three meters away from the man so it was not much work for the Janitor and followed by a loud bang, Zeenat fell on the ground. Lily was stunned, the sound was so loud that it made her flinch and close her eyes. Zeenat turned around to tell the girl to learn but a strong kick on her back sent her colliding with Lily.

The impact was so strong that it caused the little girl to fall on the ground and she lost her consciousness. Her defensive methods didn’t work well because when Zeenat collided with her she didn’t have any offensive intentions.

The janitor knew that the security would be upon him quickly so he grabbed the little girl and dashed out, but not before Miss Verse saw the scene and dashed over to press an alarm switch before she checked on Zeenat, who was bleeding from her torso, but her breath was still there. She called for an ambulance before she went back to the classroom and said, "Alright, we have a drill going on. Now, I want all of you to hide under the tables and stay calm. Remember whoever follows the commands will get a chocolate from me. Soon, an uncle from the police will come to lead you out. Okay?"


The children all hid under the tables, while Miss Verse dashed out of the class and locked the door. She called Leo Cardinal directly to inform him that Lily was missing and at the same time, to keep pressure on the wound Zeenat had on her torso.

...

Leo had just reached the South City Bar, and was sitting in the back room when his phone went off, and looking at the caller ID, he had a bad feeling. He connected the call and Miss Verse said, "Sir, someone just abducted Lily."

She was scared and her voice was shivering, Leo asked calmly, "Where is Zeenat?"

Miss Verse replied, "She was shot and is lying unconscious in the hallway."

Leo clenched his fist and asked, "The rest of the children, are they okay?"

Miss Verse replied in affirmation and then Leo said, "Thank you, I will handle things now."

Then he called Milo, and said, "Find me Lily."

Then he called the Mayor and told him about the situation. The mayor was shocked and he directly called the Police Chief. The entire city was locked down. The airports were sealed and same with the railways. This was Leo’s strength, however, he knew that it wouldn’t be easy for him to handle this matter, so he called Percie and asked her to ask the big shots in the city to take action and send out all the men they can spare.

Then he took a deep breath and left the club. Simone was shocked and followed him, but Leo said, "Stay here, I am not going out for a walk. I am going to hunt a certain bitch."

Simone replied, "I know, Sir, but I have my own uses."

He gathered a few dozen men and directed them to surround the mansion where Matilda was living. Matilda was sitting in the study of the mansion she was living in. This place was a building, and Socrate Primal got the access because the guards knew his identity, but would they allow Leo inside?

Leo drove the car around and reached the building. He looked at Simone and said, "Don’t let anyone run away."

Simone nodded and he waved to his men. With that, Leo walked over to the main gate of the mansion. The security guard said, "This is a private property, you cannot enter."

The next moment, he saw a hand moving through toughened glass as if it was window paper, and then grabbed his neck like a vice. Leo said coldly, "Open the gate, and wait on the side, otherwise, I will make sure that your family receives you in a box."

The guard almost peed in his pants. Leo wasn’t in the mood to talk and be social with the people. The guard smashed the button on the side and the gate slid open. Leo walked inside, and his fists made crackling sounds, he had come for blood, and for answers. This bitch dared to make a move against his daughter, now she must face the wrath of Demon Daddy.
