Almighty Father System-Chapter 67 : Starry Skies.

The package Leo sent to Eldin Stein caused the lady to suck in a cold breath as she sweated. The folder contained shocking information about Vincent Cardinal, the business mogul who was recently admitted to the hospital because he suffered a hemorrhage after his son died.

However, from the content, it was sure that not only the son, even the father might die if he found this information circulating in the world outside.

She quickly got to work, there was a big section of people who had been making a living by producing conspiracy theories and capital criticism, so she found the most reliable one among them and asked this person to broadcast the content of the package on the web. She also arranged for many high profile streams to join the stream and gather as many eyes as possible.

The broadcast began, and a bespectacled man appeared on the screen of many people, he said, "Hello, everyone welcome to the Corrupt World streaming channel. Usually we come up with the conjectures of how the Capitalists are screwing with us, however, today we have been blessed with something that not only proves that our world is corrupt, but also how close the corruption is to us."

The man took a brief pause, and looked at the comments before he said, "I am not lying you stupid people. If I had no evidence in my possession would I be inviting the big hosts to sit and give their opinions about the entire facade?

Please welcome Miss Yaya, the queen of folk singers, and Mister Brotha Alvin, the car connoisseur…"

The introduction went on, the top streams from basically all the sections were present there, and they all joined in the stream. The platform combined the streams of these seven people together, and all the viewers could see who was talking.

The bespectacled man said, "I am Amore, your host for the day, and now we can unveil the evidence to back our thoughts. Corruption comes from men, and the man we are going to talk about today is Vincent Cardinal.

Yes, the one who was recently in the news because of his son's murder. Well, you all should be aware that Echo Cardinal was accused of operating underground rinks of drugs, prostitution and even extortions.

The whole world was sympathizing with Vincent Cardinal thinking that his son had become a stainful existence that demeaned the legacy of late Mister Christopher Cardinal.

Then we sympathized about the bizarre fashion in which Vincent found out about the death of his son. The extent was so much that even some of my viewers wanted to send him flowers, well, I am glad I didn't, why? See for yourself."

Multiple digital prints of the documents that proved the money laundering done by Vincent Cardinal and Echo Cardinal were showcased on the screen for everyone to see. Other than that, a few video clips were also made public, and with such big evidence, the people erupted.

…

Leo was sitting in the temporary office set up in the research and development department. He was following the trending topics on the internet while writing a code. The value of the Cardinal group stocks began to plummet and Leo kick started the frenzy buying scheme.

He only stopped at noon, and Percie Hibiscal called him on the intercom, "President, congratulations on regaining the possession of the Cardinal Group."

Leo nodded calmly and said, "However, the battle isn't done yet. Have the police taken any action?"

Percie Hibiscal nodded and said, "They have, I had Fragrance track the progress and she is using her contacts as we speak."

Leo raised his brow and asked, "She has contacts now? I thought we hired a brilliant rookie."

Percie Hibiscal smiled and said, "Sir, she is rather formidable when it comes to her tasks. Don't be fooled by those dimple cheeks, she is a blade that cuts without drawing blood."

Leo chuckled and said, "Well, I am taking off, you carry on with the technicalities of the share transfer process."

That said, he disconnected the call and left the company with Jock. He was going to pick up Lily from the school. The trio then came back home, and while on the way, Lily said, "Baba, you know there are so many stars in the sky."

Leo looked at her and nodded as he said, "Yes, there are many stars in the sky. Did you learn about stars in school today?"

Lily nodded and said, "Yes, and Miss Verse asked us to draw a painting. She said we can take help from our parents."

Leo smiled and said, "Okay, then do you have colors to paint?"

Lily thought for a bit and said, "I do have crayons. Will they work?"

The young man sighed, he has again missed out on something essential for children. He said, "We will go to the supermarket and buy you some colors."

Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yay!!"

Children loved colors, doodling could be seen as an exercise that improved their fine motor skills, boosted confidence, promoted creativity and last but not the least, self expression. To think that he wanted to be an almighty father and his daughter was lacking the basic tools she needed to do this.

…

In the supermarket, Leo had Lily stand in the shopping cart and then they made a round to the stationery aisle and they bought a lot of things, canvas, drawing books, crayons, pencil colors, acrylics, fine quality brushes, and color pallets. Lastly he bought a big color case so that all the things that Lily wanted to use would be stored neatly as well. One thing that Leo made sure was that the colors were toxin free.

'Ping: Host, you have bought your daughter the first set of expression tools, colors. You are rewarded with the shares of Pixel Studios, this small studio often produces animated movies that are loved by children and are focused towards teaching them some good manners.'

They came home, Leo served Lily some food, and then Lily took a nap with Leo sitting in the living room and spending an hour of training in the virtual realm. Since he had the time, he might as well use it to grow stronger.

…

When he woke up an hour later, he sighed, Leo was shocked, numb by the amount of knowledge that was present in this world and how he, who claimed to be a literate person, didn't know shit. He made himself a cup of coffee and went to check if Lily had woken up and he found her to be brushing Momo.

After a few minutes, he asked, "Lily, ready to paint?"

Lily nodded and then the duo began to set up a canvas with Lily sitting on the stool with colors beside her on the table. The girl asked, "Baba, where do I begin?"

Leo smiled and said, "What comes to your mind when you think of the starry sky?"

Lily thought for a bit and said, "I think of stars that I used to watch from the window of your room in the old place."

Leo then began to guide on how to create the outline of the idea that she had, and then he taught her how to color. Maybe it was the teaching buff that he had gained earlier when teaching Lily how to play the piano that he was able to get through her and she managed to compose a decent painting for a toddler.

The back of a little girl's head was illuminated under the starlight. The young man took a deep breath and said, "Well, Lily, this is a wonderful painting. Now all you have to do is to sign your name on it."

Lily thought about it and said, "Baba, everyone writes their name, so boring. I want to draw a lily. Is that fine?"

Leo nodded and then taught her how to do it, and Lily painted a flower on the bottom right corner. Leo smiled and clapped his hand as he said, "Let's leave it to dry, go and wash your hands."

Lily left and Leo picked up a pencil before he began to mention the date and time when the picture was completed on the back of the canvas.

Then he carefully placed the canvas on the side of the room before he went outside in the living room again. Lily came back to sit beside him and asked, "Baba, what are we going to do now?"

The young man thought for a minute and said, "We can do what you want us to do love. What do you want to do?"

The door of the house was pushed open and Snow walked in, Leo stood up to get her some water and the trio sat on the couch. Lily said, "How about we watch the stars tonight?"

Leo and Snow looked at each other, before they agreed and a system ping sounded, 'Ping: Host, ensure that your daughter enjoys the star gazing. Reward: Space Travel Box.'
