Almighty Father System-Chapter 143: Modeling Rage.
Leo sat inside the workshop, with his hands covered in clay, his gaze focused on the vase he was sculpting, Lily stood behind him carefully watching how Leo moved his fingers and applied pressure. The little girl didn't know that while her father appeared to be embroiled in art, his mind was referring to the vase as a model of revenge. In his mind the only thought that echoed with every stroke of his fingers was the death he planned for Anthony Primal.
Anthony Primal was not only the preparator of his parent's murder, he was a vital tool held by Carole Primal. The young man was focused on his movements when Jock appeared on the doorstep, and he knocked on the main door.
Snow opened the door and asked, "Jock, what is it?"
The latter said, "Madam, I have the information that Sir asked for."
Snow waved the man to come inside, and said, "Have a sit. Would you like something to drink?"
Jock shook his head and said, "I came over because Sir wanted this information on priority. Kyle told me that the issue is quite serious."
Snow nodded, and said, "Tell me about information. If he was to select a method to deal with it, he would do it himself, and while I know that he is very capable, he might not notice the change that comes to a person after they have driven the knife through the hearts of their enemies."
Jock gulped a mouthful as he wondered whether Snow was aware about the way Leo dealt with the people who planned the Grand Century Terror Attack.
The guard said, "Madam, the person that Sir wanted to track has been found. He is still living in the city. However, his condition is a little different from what we all thought. He is not longer in touch with Carole Primal, but he is operating a shady lottery organisation. Although he has money, but his social status has plummeted.
At this moment, he can be found in the eastern region, Lotus Pad and the Yoho club are his most visited and regular spots. His residence is located in the eastern region as well, the Khyber Tower, the penthouse on the top. He travels with guards around him, and he has the connections that he needs to get away from the persecution against the lottery business."
Snow nodded, she didn't reply instantly, on the contrary, she waited for a few minutes, organizing her thoughts as she said, "Well, half of the intel that you received is a lie."
Jock was surprised and Snow asked, "Did you verify this with a source from the Pinnacle Securities?"
The former shook his head and Snow nodded, "Carole Primal doesn't leave any loose ends, if Anthony has just enough contacts that he needs to avoid the legal eyes, then he is still being funded by Carole. There must be another reason why he was left behind in Angkor City. It could be that he is here to maintain a fall-back base for Carole, shall he fail the inheritance battle. It could be that Anthony is still trying to find out the old enemies that could become trouble for Carole. The reason could be anything Jock. I want you to find out everything about him, from what he eats to what he shits.
Plant an asset beside him, deep if possible and then get round the clock intel. One week should be enough, after all, it is the month end. It will cover everything."
Jock nodded and realized that the wife of his boss was not ordinary either. Snow was a tactician as well. He took a deep breath and stood up as he said, "I will get things checked thoroughly, Madam."
Jock picked up his feet and then he left quickly to finish the task at hand. Snow stood up and went up to the first floor, where the workshop was set up. She watched from the doorsill, Leo was working calmly and Lily was standing beside him. She found that Leo was rather detached at this moment. She took a deep breath and stepped inside as she said, "Lily, what are you doing?"
The little girl replied, "Baba is making a nice vase. I am learning from it."
Snow raised her brow and asked, "What are you learning?"
Lily replied, "I am learning how to mold things with patience, and how to apply pressure in different locations to make it so that the outcome is to your desire."
Snow was surprised that her daughter was so perceptive about things, Leo paused after hearing her words and said, "Pressure is not needed every time. Sometimes letting things happen is fine as well."
Lily nodded and Leo stood up, his vase was finished, and he went over to a small basin to wash his hands, as he asked, "Did Jock come over?"
Snow nodded and replied, "He did, but the information had loopholes, I asked him to verify it all and do deeper research."
Leo stopped and raised his head as he asked, "Did he not use the Pinnacle Security to verify them all beforehand?"
Snow replied and said, "He was in a hurry to tell you that there is progress. You put out the priority command, right. So, haste makes waste."
Leo took a deep breath and replied, "Alright. I will wait."
Snow nodded and turned to look at Lily, who was observing the vase, and said, "Love, do you want to make a vase as well?"
Lily shook her head and replied, "Not yet, I would like to wait and think about the flowers I can place in the vase before designing it."
Leo was shocked, he opened his eyes wide and looked at her, and let out a sigh.
'Ping: Host has completed the vase designing as your daughter asked you for. You are rewarded with the Flowers of peace.'
After a few moments, he walked up to Lily and patted her head as he said, "You are such a wise soul. What would I do without you?"
Lily chuckled and said, "Why think about the hypothetical? Just go with the wind, Baba."
Leo chuckled and picked her up in his arms as he said, "Go with the wind."
He gave her a swirl and then the family came downstairs. They had dinner, and then they retired to bed. Snow asked, "Can you tell me what you intend to do with Anthony?"
Leo replied, "Initially, I wanted to kill him. Make him realize that death can be a luxury when compared to a life that is filled with agony. I wanted to contain him in a solitary hold, wait for him to go mad, and then I would slowly kill him."
Snow fell silent for a few minutes and she said, "If you keep holding so much hate for them, you would end up becoming them. Only when you forgive the enemy can you kill the enemy without losing yourself. Always remember who you are, and what you are. I know that your rage is not without reason, but if your rage consumed you, you will end up losing everything as well. Today in the workshop you were designing the vase with so much rage in your heart that you didn't even look at Lily. She was watching you with such focus and attention. I was feeling as if you were ignoring her."
Leo sighed, he felt himself sink a little more in the mattress. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand what you are saying. However, finding out the truth sent me back to the corridor of the hospital where I had my parents covered with blood. I could not leave that scene for a very long time. However, when Lily said that she would like to find a flower to place in the vase before she designs it, I thought that if my rage and revenge are like a vase, I must also look at the flower before designing the vase.
Anthony and Carole need to pay, but they aren't worthy enough to make me forget what I am and how I became this. I will pay attention in the future that my emotions don't get the best of me."
Snow nodded and leaned in closer on his shoulder and patted his chest gently, "Be steady Leo Cardinal. For the battle is long."

Leo closed his eyes and he began to use the Virtual Realm to train himself. He found that these past few days, he had not been focused on training. So, he used the virtual realm for two things, one was to hone his skills, and the second was for venting his rage. After an hour, he fell asleep. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The next day when he woke up, he found Jock standing outside the house when he was going out for a run. Jock stepped up with a dossier in his hands and said, "Sir, we have all the information that you wanted. The Primal Family is playing a deadly game."
