Chapter 153: Schooling Lily.
Leo was losing hope, he was thinking about what it could be that made Lily so upset with him. At this moment, Anastasia walked over, and asked, "Lily, are you upset that your Baba has not planned the wedding?"
Lily didn't say anything but Leo was shocked, he reacted, "Who said that I have not planned anything?"
His voice carried a hint of irritation and indignation. Anastasia knew that she screwed up. Lily looked at her father and asked, "If you have then why keep it a secret from me?"
Leo sighed and said, "Because the venue has not yet been confirmed. They didn't give me a date of booking and I didn't want your hopes to get high and then douse them with disappointment."
Lily asked again softly, "Are you really not lying to me?"
Leo took out his mobile and showed her a few things on the device to assure her that he had been planning the wedding ceremony. He was upset because someone else's words caused his daughter to ignore him like this. He could not say anything to Anastasia, not only because she was an elder, but because it wasn't her fault.
For the first time he was upset with Lily because she didn't come to ask him what the truth was, but thinking about it, she was just a child and he shouldn't expect such transparency from her. Losing never sat well with anyone and he was on the losing end from both sides. Just when he was thinking about whether he should school Lily or not, the system said, 'Ping: Host, you have been spoiling your daughter, but you have always maintained a balance. Children only mature when they understand the correct way to deal with things, right now, you need to do just that, tell your daughter about the correct way to handle such situations.
Reward: Smallest Navigation Satellite Technology."
Leo sighed as he looked at Lily and said, "Love, it is right to be upset over things that are important, but from the next time if you feel that I have ignored something important, then come up and say it to me directly."
Lily nodded and said,"I am sorry, Baba. I didn't want to make you sad."
She let go of Momo and moved over to embrace Leo as tightly as she could with her arms. The young man held her in his arms and Snow said, "If the two of you have finished making up. Shall we go and pack for the outing?"
Leo realized that they had to catch a flight and nodded as he nodded and said, "Okay."
At this moment, one notification echoed in his mind, 'Ping: Smallest Navigation Satellite Technology has been awarded to the host. To access the technology, contact the Utopia research center, they came up with this research.'
Leo nodded and accepted the task but he wasn't in the rush to talk to the people at the research center, first he had to settle his daughter's matter properly and before that he had to neutralize Hector.
The couple rushed a small packing spree, and then they boarded the car, and drove to the airport. Kyle and Zeenat tagged along them in addition to another team of guards.
They went through VIP channels and the commute was smooth. Lily was excited to be inside the airport, today marking her maiden flight. Last time they went out, it was a road trip. She enjoyed everything, the lounge, the security check, the check-in, and the luggage submission as well.
Leo and Snow watched her with an amused expression. They were not the only ones, even the staff smiled at her. After the check-in, Kyle said, "Sir, the plane is waiting for you."
Leo nodded and said, "Lily, we will come and explore the shops after the trip, okay? You can buy souvenirs for Miss Verse."
The little girl nodded and agreed with him. They came to the assigned gate and a small caddy drove them all to the small jet on the runway. It was a white jet with a chocolate brown design over it.
The captain and the staff greeted them before they boarded the vehicle. Leo waited in the back and called Markus.
…
Hector was sipping on some tea to calm down his nerves as he was thinking about what could be going on and who was conspiring against him. As he was thinking, suddenly Steven stood up with a shocked expression on his face.
Hector frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Steven said, "The Stag Foreign Ministry has cancelled our passports and most of the places where we can take asylum will no longer recognize us."
Hector was shocked but he calmed down and asked, "Did you call anyone back in the ministry to confirm this?"
Steven shook his head and said, "I will be calling now."
He dialed a number but nobody picked up the call. At this moment, another guard received a call from the guy who had arranged the guards for them earlier, and they fell out with each other. The young guard said, "Sir, we need to leave this city, the guards from earlier are looking for compensation."
Hector sneered and said, "They didn't protect me and have a gall to ask for my money? Do they think it is easy to fool me?"
Steven turned around with a grim face and said, "Sir, the news is correct, they did revoke our status as the Citizen of the Stag Nation, we need to head out and fly away from this island before they send over a few cops to apprehend us."
Hector sighed and placed the cup on the table and said, "Fine, let us go. I only need one day to figure things out and then take action against the enemy who is causing this."
That was not a difficult task and Hector did have that capability, but who was going to allow him the time to conspire once again? At this moment, his mobile pinged and checking the content, Hector frowned and when he opened the video, he shivered and his eyes rolled as he fainted.
Leo had made a move to block all the exits for this old man.
