Chapter 373 373: Cardinal Tower.

Leo looked at the notification and then he took a deep breath when the knowledge of the technology came in her mind. After a few minutes, the young man took a deep breath and decided to wait till the space elevator is operational before releasing this tech. He had already dropped the bomb of the ionic engine for the aircrafts, if he released the technology too quickly then someone would definitely want to pick his brain open.At the moment, he is already on the hit list of the western axis countries. The eagle nation, and the stag nation. They all wanted a piece of Leo and Cardinal Group for themselves. Not only did they hate people who tried to go ahead and monopolize the market, but they also hated the ones who pretended to bring awareness to the world.

Even if you monopolize the market, there would still be a group of loyalists who would follow the old brand regardless of anything, however, when the people became aware, it would mean disaster.

Leo shook his head and he chased Lily slowly before he took a sat down on the couch and took a rare moment of rest. Evening came and with it came a bout of mild fever and shivers to the children. Although, Leo had given them both the medicine, and they were sleeping, but Leo made sure to wipe their sweat every few minutes.

When he saw that his children were having a fever, how could he relax? The duty lasted the entire night and Leo was very attentive to the situation. He would coax them with gentle pats as soon as they woke up a little and he also made sure to give them the formula to feed them.

Snow tried to come and relieve him but the young man denied this. He directly threw the gauntlet, if she wanted to get back to the company then she would need to stay in bed and rest as much as possible. He left her no room for negotiation and only then did Snow went inside the room.

...

The next morning, the fever had subsided and Leo was able to relax. As he came down from the stairs to go on a run with Lily, Anastasia said, "Leo, do you think we can hold the ninety days ceremony for the children?"

Leo asked, "Ma, what do you mean? I am sorry, I have no idea what this ceremony means, can you elaborate?"

Anastasia nodded and said, "Lily was taken to the shrine of the Goddess Of Mercy on the day she completed her ninety days and the priest was asked to bless her. I know that you are not a big believer in religion but from Snow I found that your mother was a believer, so I thought if we should hold this ceremony?"

Leo nodded, he didn't hesitate, because he knew that his mother was a believer and he had been to the shrine as a child, but his mother had taught her to be liberal and fluid in his thinking. There were many things that he could not do as a believer, and Snow feared that this would cause Leo to develop a rather timid and restricted personality.

Leo smiled as he left the house with Lily and the latter asked, "Baba, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "Nothing, my love, just that conversation reminded me of your Grandma. It is fine that you go to the Shrine, but do not give up your sanity for their sake."

Lily nodded and said, "Yes, one should not blindly follow a path written in historical books, because with the change of time, we need to alter our methods as well, or the path will become obsolete and we would fall down."

Leo nodded in agreement and said with a doting gaze, "My baby is so smart and wise."

Lily chuckled and said, "Baba, you are also smart."

...

The two finished their run and after breakfast, they came over and found Percie Hibiscal was visiting them. Leo raised his brow and asked, "Percie, what wind blew you in here?"

The lady smiled and replied, "Sir, I came over to inform you of a rather important news."

Lily became curious and came back from her way to the stairs. She sat down on the couch beside Leo looking at the lady, and Leo asked, "What is it? Any trouble?"

Percie Hibiscal shook her head and said, "The Cardinal Complex is ready for us. We have initiated all the people and subsidies to move their core data and core personnel to the tower, and many small workshops have been set up inside the cluster. They are all secure and safe, equipped with the most advanced tools. The security arrangement has been completed as well. Miss Ellyse, and Mister Markus took the lead in this."

Leo nodded and asked, "So did you come over here to tell me that the tower can now be inaugurated?"

Percie Hibiscal nodded and said, "One week from today is an auspicious day."

Leo thought and said, "It is a day when I have to take my children to the Shrine of the Goddess Of Mercy."

Percie Hibiscal nodded after some thought and said, "You can come over after the ceremony at the shrine. We will hold the inaugural ribbon cutting in the noon when the sun is at the peak to signify the good luck."

Leo sighed and said, "I have no idea what to tell you all, arrange that as you want. However, prioritize the relocation of the Utopia Research Center, and bring all those reclusive scientists back to the secular world and have their families come over as well."

The lady nodded, and then she said, "Once this is completed, the intranet will become even more secure and the cooperation of various departments will become even more seamless, we would be able to attain the best results in the shortest time possible."

Leo nodded and replied calmly, "I am not worried about that, but you should know that we need character more than talent. So make sure that these recruitment standards are adhered to strictly."

The lady nodded and said, "I will make sure no rules are violated."

Leo looked at her and wanted to say something when Lily said, "Auntie, it is impossible for you to make sure that all the people in the company will be loyal. Many of the recruits might have already done a lot of things. We need them to fear us. So, in the contract of employment, please add a clause that if someone dares to breach the trust and loyalty policy, they would have to bear all the losses caused by them, and we would take legal actions. I am sure that the punishment for such a thing is quite high."

Percie was surprised and then she nodded and replied, "Yes, I will have the people handle this. The contract of employment needs to be changed and then after we are done with that, we will have someone mention and highlight these clauses in the contract so that the people don't claim that we had them sign the documents unknowingly."

Lily and Leo nodded before the young man said, "Well, now that is settled, I will install a new security software in the mainframe. It will alert us if someone tries to copy any sensitive information from the digital archives, and if anyone wants to see the documents of the classified projects, they would need to give out a written application stating their reason."

The people nodded and then Leo went to the bathroom to clean himself up. After some thoughts, he sighed and checked on the two treasures, they had their own needs, and Leo had promised to take them out for some sun basking and also to visit the graves of his parents.

After he was done with them, he got them all dressed up and then carried them to the car with Snow. When they reached the cemetery, they placed the two little ones in the strollers and then pushed the strollers inside. Leo had tied the protection locates that he had acquired from system.

He was a believer of science but he was still a little fearful when it came to his children. When they reached the graves. Leo and Lily took the initiative to clean the place and Snow watched the two children. Then they offered incense and after a few minutes, Leo bowed and said, "Dad, Ma, I have brought over the twin treasures. This little guy is called Julian, and this is Elena."

Lily also stepped up and said a few more things to introduce the siblings to their late grandparents.

...

Meanwhile the entire city was in shock, because they got the news that the Cardinal Tower, the tallest building of the city has been completed and the businesses were all moving from their bases to settle in the business park created by the Cardinal Group. The city was bustling.
