The day finished on a high note with Leo and Lily playing a song for the family, and then the next day, the young man was called to take upon his seat as the chairman properly and handle somethings for the ISC. Although Leo was very unenthusiastic about the situation, he could not get away from his responsibilities, and so, the young man met with High Priest Hank, and they took a flight heading to the Ivory Hills. It was a small country that had been suffering from poverty and only a handful of people could maintain the power. However, that didn’t make much of a difference in the status quo.
Leo dressed up in a silver grey suit with a white shirt under it, and Snow helped him tie his watch on his wrist. She said, "Love, be careful when you are out there."
Leo nodded with a smile and said, "Don’t worry, I will be."
He leaned in and kissed her forehead, before he found Lily walking in his closet, and then she fished out a blue tie from the stand, and said, "Baba, put this on, I read in horoscope Grandma uses, blue is your lucky color today."
Leo raised his brow, he was aware that his daughter didn’t really believe in horoscopes, but since she stepped up, he would take the tie. He put it around his neck, and then Lily helped him fixing it in the position. After that he went to see if the twins have finished their breakfast and he found them sitting on the carpet in the living room, and as he crouched down to give them a hug, Julian handed him a book, it was his favorite Knight in the silver armor story book.
He said, "Silver, keep Baba safe."
Leo was amused, he didn’t expect that the people would be wishing him well like this, he smiled, and pecked his forehead and said, "Be nice, when I am gone, okay?"
Julian nodded, and then he turned to look at Elena, who gave him plush toy which she often used as a pillow. It was a round penguin very soft to touch, and Elena said, "Baba, sleep well with Pakku?"
Leo smiled and said, "Thank you my darling."
He hugged her and then kissed her cheeks. Julian had already gotten busy with another story book. It was not that Leo loved Elena more, but it was just a simple saying, a daughter could bring out any all of the love that a man has to offer, when she sees him. Lily had been the same, she was a bit more mature now, but it was the truth. She had brought Leo out of the cracked husk that he thought he had become. Although that side, was just limited to his family, but that still counts.
...
Leo carried a small bag of things that his family had given him, and arrived at the airport, and found that the head priest was already waiting for him. The young man greeted the old man with great respect, many reporters have managed to enter the airport and were clicking their pictures. After half an hour, the private jet got the permission to take off, and Leo and Hank boarded the plane.
As they took off, a bot who had been selected as Leo’s assistant on this trip, by Alpha, the head of non-human officials beside Leo, spoke up, "Sir, we might be in trouble."
Leo raised his brow and asked, "What is it, Hart?"
Hart replied after a second, "Sir, there is an explosive device on this vehicle."
Leo frowned, and so did the head priest. The latter, asked, "How did the device get on this plane? The airport is tight in security, no?"
The bot nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, it does have a high security, but the people this was a work of a single person. They smuggled in the parts, one by one, and every time they assembled a bomb in secret and snuck it inside the vessel. I have complied a complete set of evidence, it can be sent out to the people in the law enforcement to apprehend the culprit."
Leo shook his head and asked, "What type of bomb is it?"
The bot replied, "I apologize sir, but it looks like a Dynamite charge connected to a time that will go off in a couple of hours."
Leo nodded, and asked the next question, "Where is the bomb?"
He stood up from his seat, took off his suit, and looked at the worried and pale faces of the crew, and said, "Don’t worry, I will handle it right away, I assure you nothing will happen to any of you. The plane has parachutes, right?"
The crew gathered their wits, after all the man who spoke to them was Leo Cardinal, he was almost invincible, but they were talking about a bomb on the plane. Thinking about it, they were getting even more anxious, when they suddenly heard a calm and soothing voice from the High priest, it was a chant but it quickly put the people under a dazed state. The old man looked at Leo and said, "Lord Cardinal, can you please get on with the search and response? I will keep things under control here."
The young man nodded and said, "Hart, show me where the bomb is."
The bot replied, "In the storage bay, sir."
Leo took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, before he headed to the back of the plane where he picked up the mattress of the customized bed, and placed it on the side, and then carefully undid a few latches and opened a hatch that gave him access to the cargo bay. It was a private airplane, but it was not too small. Leo jumped inside and then his ears picked up a subtle beeping sound. He approached the place and found that a steel box was screwed tight to the ceiling of the cargo bay, and this place happened to be located under the center of the plane.
If the bomb were to go off, then the change in pressure would cause the body of the plane to tear apart from the middle, and kill everyone. Leo sighed, he clenched his fist and said, "Hart, send that data to Kyle, tell him I want this human found, by hook or by crook."
The bot replied, "Yes, Sir."
The young man didn’t waste anymore time, he found an emergency tool kit on the side of the cargo bay, then he picked out a screw driver, and just when he was about to handle the bomb like a normal thing, he stopped, and opened the system store, and looked for a item that he saw on the list. After a quick confirmation, he found what he was looking for. It was a torch like device that produced a beam of energy that would vaporize everything in ten centimeter focal length.
The device was used as a wall driller substitute from the description of things. Leo was fascinated by this device for a long time and thought it was a good chance to use it today. He used the torch and aimed it on the explosive device container. The beam of light was not very bright, it had a neon blue glow to it, but as soon as it fell on the steel box, the box vanished as if it never existed there.
Then the process continued, Leo seemed to have gained an all powerful eraser, that used high energy radiation in a focused area and vaporized everything it could touch. After a few minutes, the young man finished handling the situation and made his way back to the cabin. He found High Priest Hank still chanting, and after he saw Leo coming back he asked with a gentle voice, "All sorted?"
Leo nodded and said, "It is fine."
The High Priest hummed and asked, "Lord Leo, can you also fly a plane? The pilot had a slightly lower mental threshold and from the chant he fell asleep, the charm won’t break till morning."
Leo rolled his eyes and replied, "I have some knowledge, but Hart would be a better pilot. His programs are designed for such situations."
The bot went inside the cockpit and plugged a USB lead that was hidden inside his forearm. Then it stood behind the pilot and controlled the aircraft. The two men sat down on the chairs, and Leo asked, "What was that chant? It calmed down the people so quickly."
The high priest smiled and replied, "It was not a magic spell, but a chant which resonated with the body vibrations emitted by the people and they calmed down. It is like a hymn that can allow you to control the people around you to a limit."
Leo raised his brow and asked, "Is this a part of the Evolution Map?"
The old man smiled and shook his head before he turned around to look outside the window of the aircraft and said, "This is something left behind by previous disciples of Her Holiness. It is a secret art of the Shrine."
