Chapter 219: Encounter.
Leo carried Lily in one arm while he held Snow's hand with the other. Kyle and Zeenat walked behind them while the rest of the security detail walked around him in a circle. They were heading inside the Montek city airport, however, just when they were about to reach the entrance, Leo stopped.
His halt was so abrupt that even Kyle could not predict it and almost ran into him. Snow looked at Leo and they she followed his gaze. Her aura also turned cold. Leo said, "Zeenat, take Lily to the plane with Axel. If anyone apart from the authorities try to stop you, feel free to attack them."
Zeenat didn't know what changed all of a sudden, but she quickly took Lily from his arms and left quickly. Lily also didn't make a fuss. She could sense that something about her father had changed in that moment. She also followed the gaze of her parents and spotted a couple. She recognized the lady, it was Spring Marlin, as for the man, before she could get a good look, they had crossed the gate.
Leo stood facing the couple with Snow beside him, the other party was also looking at him with a smirk on his face. Spring looked unaffected but in her eyes, it was obvious that she didn't want to face Leo and Snow.
The other person was Carole Primal, who chuckled and walked towards Leo. The guards moved and stood up before him. Carole chuckled and asked, "Are you going to hide behind your dogs for protection now?"
Leo replied with a calm smirk, "They are not for my protection, they are for you."
Carole raised his brow and then he looked at Snow, as he said, "I think you trained him well."
Snow replied, "Who is being trained is known to all of us, is it not?"
Carole frowned, he could sense that Snow was hinting at something, but his actions with Spring were his darkest and closest kept secrets. How could Snow know this? He looked at Spring who gazed at Snow coldly and said, "I hope you can still be smug while you have the time to, because when Carole rises to the top of power in the Primal family, you would fall to the ground and crawl like a maggot you are."
Leo said, "Kyle, move aside."
The guard moved, and Leo walked forward. His steps were measured and he stood just two meters away from Carole Primal, and stretched out his hand, and Carole smirked as he reached to grab Leo's palm.
Leo grabbed the palm of his enemy and said, "For the things that you have done, I will make you pay ten times more. You broke my spine, I will break your entire being, but for now, your hand would be enough token."
Carole furrowed his brow and was about to make a retort, but the next moment, he sensed a strong pain running from the core of his palm to his brain. He clenched his jaw, and tried to maintain a calm facade. However, that was not enough, cold sweat broke from his forehead.
Leo's grip had broke a few bones in his palm. All of it happened in just a few seconds, and when Leo was done, he flicked the hand away and said, "See you soon, Carole Primal."
Then he turned to look at Snow, who nodded with a smile and held his left hand as they walked away. The security detail maintained a complete parameter around the couple. Till the moment they were on the plane none of the guards acted carelessly. They were all aware that Leo had a lot of bad blood with Carole, and they had seen how he was almost about to lose control the last time. They were all careful in making sure Leo would not fly off the handle and kill that guy with his bare hands.
After a few minutes, the plane took off and the security team sighed in relief. Leo looked at them all and said, "Bastards, you all really think I would have done it, don't you?"
The guards smiled bitterly, and Kyle said, "One bitten twice shy, Sir. Last time you almost gave us a scare, and this time we had to be careful, after all, you are now a rising personality that is being watched by the rest of the world. We cannot risk anything to surface."
Leo waved his hand and replied, "Did you not see that Snow was holding my hand the entire time?"
The people nodded and Leo said, "She had written something on my palm that made me keep my calm, or right now we would have been arrested."
The people looked at Snow and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Snow chuckled and replied, "You're welcome."
After a few minutes, Lily looked at Leo and asked, "Who was that man?"
Leo replied calmly, "The biggest enemy of our family. He is the person responsible for Grandpa and Grandma being missing."
Snow didn't stop him from telling all these things to Leo, because it would all come out in the open eventually, so why not now. She said, "Lily, remember, that having the knowledge about things is your right, but do not try to intervene in these things. Okay?"
Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Ma. After all, Lily is a cute little baby, how can she handle demons?"
Leo chuckled and so did Snow, the mood through the flight was nice. As they finished the flight, suddenly Lily said, "Okay, seems like Baba is now a huge celebrity."
Snow raised her brows while undoing her seat belt, and the little girl turned her tablet over for her mother to see what was going on. The people came to know about how Leo went flat out during the Charity 1F race and bested the professionals of the sport. Many people who saw the clips and reviews of his act of rescue were also praising him.
The people who were following his account on the web were asking if the news was correct and the account manager, Lily Cardinal had gone ahead and posted the confirmation. Snow saw the post and then she looked at her daughter, and asked, "You know it is illegal for children to use social media?"
Lily nodded and replied, "Yes, Ma, I am aware that it is illegal, but I am not using the social media, I am just interacting with the fans Baba has."
Snow reached out and pinched the nose of the little girl and said, "Enough Mygram, now stuff the tablet back in the bag and lets go. I am hungry, and so is Baba."
The family of three cheerfully returned home and had a meal.
…
While in the VIP room of the Pantone Hospital in the Montek City, Carole Primal was staring at his right arm which was covered in a brace. His eyes looked calm but Spring knew what he was thinking about. She took a deep breath and replied, "It seems to me that our enemy has misunderstood our silence for our weakness."
Carole turned to look at her and yelled, "You only realized that now! I told you, let me kill them while they had yet to gain the power."
Spring chuckled and said, "You are still as impatient as ever."
Carole furrowed and Spring continued, "What happens when we underestimate our enemy?"
Carole understood what she was trying to say. He said, "You want me to wait in the shadows so they walk into the trap and don't have any way to walk out?"
Spring nodded and replied, "It is true, they will make a mistake. Didn't you see how confident they were?"
Carole replied, "This seems to be a nice plan."
Spring nodded, and said, "Carole, now is the crucial time for you in the inheritance battle. Don't let these pish posh distract you, we need to crack this deal."
Carole took a deep breath and calmed down, before he said, "What would I do without you?"
Spring smiled and said, "Nothing, you might be a wreck."
…
Leo and Snow were taking a day off and they were inside their bedroom when Lily came to the door, and asked, "Baba, where will I drive my Go-Kart?"
Leo thought for a bit and said, "I will talk to your principal and see if we can get them to make a track on the campus."
The little girl nodded and then said, "Oh, but will my classmates not feel bad, that I have a Kart but they don't?"
Leo took a deep breath and replied, "You don't have to worry, our company will start developing Karts soon. Then we would give some units to them."
Lily nodded and said, "Fine. Also, can I sleep with you two?"
Leo chuckled and beckoned her to come over. The little one burrowed herself between the two people, and they began to read her stories.
