Lily finished her piano session and went upstairs to the study room where Leo was working on something from office, and when he saw his daughter, he stopped and asked, "Love, what happened?"

Lily passed on the tablet to him, and said, "One of my viewers found this." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Leo looked at the messages and the clip with proper shots and asked, "What do you want to do?"

He was not asking her for instructions but simply testing her. Lily sat down on his lap and said, "I want to confirm if this is true in the first place, and then only shall we move forward."

Leo nodded and said, "You can take Beta with you, she will assist you properly and she will get things to me. This is something you have discovered and as a Cardinal, you should handle things that you find out about. I will have your back."

Lily nodded and then she got off his lap picked up her tablet and walked out with a quick step and Leo smiled, just a moment ago, he got a notification from the system, ’Ping: Host, your daughter has discovered something very crucial to the plans that you have for the development of the human race. So, today the task is for you to empower her about handling things like this by herself. Reward: The gene serum for children.’

Leo was surprised but happy, so he gave Lily the privilege to use Beta for this thing.

...

Lily had gone inside her room with Beta beside her, and she thought for a few minutes before she said, "Beta, can you confirm the details of these submitted evidence?"

Beta nodded, and then said, "I can use the algorithms to verify if these things are tempered at all."

Lily hummed and then Beta quickly completed the verification and replied, "Young Miss, these things are authentic."

Lily nodded, and said, "Inform the police, have Aunt Fragrance prepare a complete case against these men, also run a check on all the people who have been using the Foundation funds to handle things. Also, get me Grandma on call."

She was busy thinking and her mind was working overtime. After Beta finished informing the police and informing Fragrance about things, she called in Anastasia who was out on a tour. The call connected, and Lily said, "Hello, Grandma."

Anastasia was surprised and asked, "How did you recall of me? Little Goblin, did your Ma and Baba did something?"

Lily replied, "No, nobody did anything. Someone from the Camphor Town is trying to embezzle the funds from the foundation."

Anastasia was surprised and asked, "How is that possible? Because we have a lot of people keeping things in check."

Lily replied, "I have sent you all that I have on these people. Beta has confirmed that she has also found out a few things about these people from the past. The cops have been alerted and we are processing the law suit documents as well. Another thing that is bothering me is if their are other people who are doing things like this all over the country. These people have decided to cheese things around by stealing just a small amount, something that is basically pennies, but when it all adds up we might be looking at a big amount. The money used in creating roads and building renovations have a small amount of money for all the workers, is allocated for their stress relief, or smoking breaks and all is being charged towards the foundation as worker welfare. They are stealing that money, I think you should get the finance department check all the bills that have been cashed out in the past few days, also, if they find some places where the money has not reached the workers, have them all flagged in the system and carry out a silent sweep."

Anastasia agreed and said, "Yes, I will handle it right away."

Lily nodded and then the call was disconnected, on the other side in the Camphor Town, the county police department found that the complaint have been made by the Cardinal foundation and then the County Police chief directly issued detention warrants and the units took action quickly. The media was informed, the news was flashed with a priority and the people came to question the Cardinal Group on the internet.

Beta relayed that thing to Lily and the young miss said, "Don’t worry, it is all fine. Call Grandma again."

Anastasia picked up quickly and replied, "I know about the news, we have closed down all the office, the robot guards have been stationed there, none of the people are allowed to even get inside the offices and the data has been all moved to the central head office, and is being processed."

Lily nodded and said, "I have prepared a public statement for this so I will release it on the official page of the foundation."

Anastasia agreed and that was it. She trusted her Grand daughter a lot not because of love but because Lily had done the impossible in many critical situations, like recently when the space elevator was attacked, she had taken control and handled the situation better than the pro. She refreshed the page from the foundation on Mygram and there was a new post on the story section.

’Today, something very disturbing was brought to the attention of Miss Lily Cardinal, some people were accused, and evidence was provided, and after confirming the reliability of that evidence, so the foundation had taken action against the people. They will be sued and the rest of the people will be investigated. The foundation condemns this act of corruption where people who play the act of a hero are the one culling the youth and the future of the country by their own hands.

In these times, we hope that the people don’t panic, if you are innocent, nothing can harm you, but those who have tried to misuse the authority. Such acts will not be forgotten, Cardinal Foundation does not allow such people to prevail.’

It was signed by Lily herself, and the people were taken aback because they could not understand how this little girl came up with this. Many people credited the PR team as they didn’t believe that Lily would be able to come up with something like this herself.

...

The next day Lily headed out to school, and on the way she found a couple of people following her from a distance. She frowned and looking at the rainy weather she said, "Uncle Kyle, can you pull over to the side, please."

Leo was sitting beside her and was surprised, but he subtly nodded and Kyle pulled the car to the side. After a few moments when they stopped, Lily undid her seat belt and then she got off. Zeenat followed her quickly, and then she heard the young lady say, "Have them stop over, they have been chasing us in such a weather it would be bad if they fell down."

Zeenat nodded and waved her hand, the people stopped and when the scooter stopped, Lily asked, "Uncle, why are you following us? Is there something you need to say?"

The man was surprised that he was noticed but then he nodded and said, "Young Miss, I am Jefferson from Mid-day TV we have been trying to look for a quick question and answer with you but we never got the chance to as the interviews were turned down by Maiden Yue."

Lily nodded and replied, "I had gone to bed that time and so, Ma turned you all down. I am on my way to school so you can ask me whatever it is that you want to ask me now. Just don’t drive carelessly."

The man nodded, and the lady behind him quickly pointed her camera at Lily, and Zeenat trained her gaze at the surroundings. Leo didn’t step out of the car at all, because he knew this was Lily’s moment.

Jefferson asked, "Young Miss what do you feel about this matter? The people have misused their authority and come up with such a shameful method to steal. Apart from that PR post what would you like to say."

Lily sighed and replied, "I feel ashamed that we trusted such people. I feel guilty that all this happened under our noses. Lastly, I feel enraged and ashamed to share the world with such people. The times ahead are the ones that hold great change in the currents, yet here we are, fighting the basic infection of corruption. If this is not shameful then what is?"

Jefferson nodded and asked, "Then what do you think we can do as humans?"

Lily shrugged and replied, "Mister Jefferson, I am not an adult with a great knowledge to myself. It should be you people, the grown ups who should worry about these things so that the future generation has a better foundation to build upon but here we are, discussing the matters with a child as if the responsibility of a civil society lies upon my shoulders."

One after the other, Lily answered five questions and then got in the car to go to school, and the camerawoman said, "Boss, we were live, a lot of people saw this. The popularity is increasing."
