Chapter 343 343: Cardinal Vs Tyrant.

The day was very busy, they had to attend to many guests. The guards also stepped up and then began to arrange for stuff. As Leo busied himself in the kitchen Lily conducted the decorations and the front windows were opened to make the living room accessible from the side.Even if someone wanted to come inside, they wouldn't face any difficulty as the window pane was a floor to ceiling window installment it definitely covered the aesthetic values of the neo-vintage mansion.

Clara took charge and arranged for the furniture to be delivered and the garden was set up. They also arranged for beautiful lightning and then Clara rushed from door to door in the neighborhood to deliver the invitations.

The place was actually filled with big names, but they were all old people. The younger generation of these old rich tycoons were all working and carving a piece of the countries other metropolitans for themselves. Angkor city was very close to the northern expanses of the Clover Nation, and that was why it was slow in terms of the boosting capital and the southern states that hailed as the finance capitals.

The evening was bustling and just when Leo and Snow finished getting ready, they were swarmed with guests. Leo personally greeted to the people who came inside. The guards apologized but they all performed the security checks. The children from Lily's school were attended by the Young Miss herself. The people were very satisfied with the arrangements.

Leo had prepared the cake and the rest of the food had been delivered over by the biggest hotels of the city. They had arranged for a five star catering staff to serve the guests as well. The Cardinal Mansion was big enough to hold such gatherings. The guest brought in many gifts with themselves and Leo was also generous, in return he also gave them a grand gift.

They were random sets of luxury couple watches all more than hundred thousand yuan. Clara was the one who had arranged this. It didn't matter if the people had given out gifts of less value, but the status of the Cardinal Family was established by this. The children were given a voucher to go and buy some toys that they liked. This generosity was shocking some families were even embarrassed but Anastasia displayed her diplomatic command and calmed the waves with a gesture.

...

In the night when the house returned to its former tranquility, Snow said, "Miss Clara, please call for a deep cleaning company and have them handle the living area, the guest washroom and the garden area. Also check if anything in the backyard is damaged, have that tended too."

Clara nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, Madam, I will check now and book a slot for the morning. What shall I do with the gifts?"

Snow sighed and said, "For now, place them in the guest room, I will check them in the morning."

Clara nodded and left quickly, Snow then turned to look at her husband who asked, "What did you get me?"

Leo smiled and said, "Tonight, you will be staying upstairs, and that is when I will give you a gift."

He would have signed his death warrant had he forgotten to get a gift. Thankfully, he had already bought something from his trip to the Stag Nation.

He gracefully carried Snow in his arms like a princess and led her to their bedroom. Initially, Lily wanted to sleep there but then she recalled how it was not a weekend and her mother was rather moody these days. She wisely made her way to her own bedroom.

Leo gave Snow a blue diamond that was one of the rarest jewels of the world and had her wear it around her neck. Snow was happy and said, "Did you get this in advance?"

Leo nodded and Snow replied as she leaned in his arms, "Aren't you getting rid of me cheaply?"

Leo chuckled and shook his head before he replied, "No, your majesty, I intend to give you a bigger gift, but for that you would need to be patient."

The lady nodded and after a few minutes, they changed and went to sleep. Snow had missed him and after some gentle nightly activities the two of them fell asleep in each others arms.

...

In the morning, Leo completed his routine and then he called Rama Kashyap. The director of Technology in the Cardinal Group. The call was connected within a minute and the other person asked, "Good Morning President, what can I do for you?"

Leo smiled and replied, "Mister Kashyap, it is time. The intelligent chips should now start displaying their prowess."

Rama Kashyap was shocked, they had been manufacturing Intelligent Chips that were capable of supporting medium level AI products in silence but Leo didn't allow them to use them. Only experiment was allowed. However, in the long run, the people understood what he wanted to do. He was waiting for the moment the market opening up, many people have been dwelling in the field of smart products, but they haven't been gaining much of a result, some were even scolded by the public.

Rama Kashyap collected himself and asked, "Sir, what are we going to build?"

Leo smiled and replied, "Didn't you have the ambition to create a high class humanoid assistant? I am sure that you have finished the hardware research and have a plausible prototype ready in a week, and I will handle the programming. Also, at the same time, make sure that you handle things in the company. Make it so that nothing is leaked. I am sure that you know how to do that."

Rama Kashyap assured Leo that he was going to handle everything and put out the gag order. The people in the Cardinal group were happy to work in such a place. None of them had to suffer bad treatment from the bosses as, everything was monitored inside the company. Someone or the other was a spy set up by the company to inspect the internal affairs.

This was a rotation task and if someone was caught, the one who reported would be rewarded with the double month salary bonus. This was not to sow discord between the employees, but to keep them on their toes, and usually if the whole department had no trouble, they were all given a small bonus.

Leo had mastered the art of fishing, he was using the company as the lake while the people were a school of fish.

...

When Percie found out about the command, she was shocked, but then she jumped in to work as if a tiger had smelled blood. The day she had been waiting for was here, she was going to fight against the Tyrant group, the one place which she hated from the core of her soul. She had never forgotten how she, a talented woman was called a plaything by Carole Primal.

This was the time for revenge and she was not alone, she had seen the terrifying abilities displayed by Little Cherry, that sunny bright smiling face was so ruthless, that when she almost pushed the Four Rings company down to the edge, she bought them out. Now the automobile was acting like a tycoon that was hungry to swallow every inch of the market that was available for them.

Percie also received instructions and she started to call for the various startups they had acquired in the past and then they began to mount the counter against the Tyrant Group. Leo had asked her to specifically to go and buy the technology patent licence from the little foot company.

For Percie, it was easy to locate the two people and also finding their details and the timely appearance of the Cardinal Group was akin to that of an angel that saved the company. The negotiations were swift as the Cardinal group was blunt and fair.

...

Socrates was sitting in his office and he was reading the reports submitted by the staff under him. After a few minutes, he raised his brow and asked, "The Cardinal group is moving to developed a robot? Hmmm, good, I will take everything from you, one by one."

The coldness in his aura had increased by a huge number. The loss of his son and his ex-wife had almost caused him to go mad in rage, but his conditioning stopped him from being irrational after all, he had no evidence.

However, now, things have changed, Leo Cardinal was deliberately coming over to fight him. How could Socrate just sit back and watch this happen? He looked at his assistant and said, "Call Janker."

The person nodded and five minutes later, a middle-aged nerdy looking man walked in and Socrates said, "You have one week, I want the prototype ready, and if you fail, then your entire team can pack up and leave. I have no intention of spending money on something that is not attainable."

Janker was shocked but then he said, "I will deliver at the end of the week, Sir. May I leave if you have nothing else for me?"

Socrate looked at the person and nodded before he leaned back in his charge and said, "Come Cardinal, let us fight to death."
