Almighty Father System

Leo moved back to the auditorium, on the way back, he spotted Kyle and three more people heading to the security room. He said, "Kyle, give me a walkie, I would like to listen in to the progress."

The man nodded and handed over the walkie to him. After a few moments, Leo went inside the auditorium and found the people were silent, they all felt worried about the situation. After all, they were all rich, and how could they have foresaw the sudden change in the situation.

Leo's arrival attracted a lot of attention. The young man saw the children sniffling as they hugged their mothers and he said, "We have managed to contact the military team outside. My guards are coordinating with the instructions from them. Things will be fine soon, please don't worry too much. In these tough situations, we need to be more united."

Lily raised her head from Snow's embrace and mumbled, "Baba."

Leo smiled at her, he sat down, picked her up in his arms and then patted her back calmly. Lily looked at the bandage on his shoulder and asked, "Baba, does it hurt?"

Leo clicked his tongue and said, "No, baby. I am fine. Are you hurt?"

Lily scratched the back of her neck and said, "Not anymore, but I was when that man held me."

Leo nodded and patted her back with his left hand and with his right he held onto Snow's palm. His wife was a strong woman, but she also needed consolation every now and then. Snow looked at him and said, "I feel so exhausted even though I haven't done anything."

Leo nodded and said, "It is normal. However, don't worry."

Lily asked, "Baba, you are so strong, can't you do anything?"

Leo sighed and he heard a voice in his mind, 'Ping: Host, raise the morale of the people in the hall. Cooperate with the military to make sure that the people are calm.'

The young man asked, 'System, aren't we already coordinating with them?'

'Ping: Host, you have assigned your men to do it, but your personal involvement would be the one decisive factor.'

Leo took a deep breath and replied, 'Okay.'

He said, "Lily, sit on the chair, Baba will try to do something."

Lily's eyes sparkled but she still got down his lap sensibly, and Leo stood up from his chair with the walkie in his hand. He looked around and said, "Mister Arc, can I have you over here for a moment?"

Aston Arc, the manager of the Primus Board came over, and asked, "Anything I can do, Mister Cardinal?"

Leo said, "In the crowd, I spotted some elderly ladies and gents. Could I trouble you to ask if they have any medical condition? Or if they need any medicine? It is very late, and I think if we can relay the information regarding these elders to the medics, they would be able to prevent any medical mishap from occurring later."

Aston Arc nodded and then he said, "Yes, I will get to it right away."

The manager was a resourceful man, and he knew almost all the people in the crowd. He quickly began to ask if anyone had some underlying situation that they needed to be wary of. After half an hour, Aston Arc came back with four cases of heart issues, and he had meticulously listed the medicine they needed.

Leo nodded, and tuned into the frequency given to him by the Military Officer and then he changed the channels, before calling the person out. He confirmed the call signs from Jock, and then held the transmitting button, "This is Dart, Executioner, do you copy? Over."

The next moment he received a reply, "This is Executioner, go Dart. Over."

Leo said, "Executioner, we have four elders with underlying heart situations. Can you inform the medics to be ready, just in case? Over."

The other person replied, "Roger that, Dart. Good work. Over."

Leo replied, "May I ask, what is the status? Over."

The military officer said, "Unable to breach, trying aerial approach. Over and Out."

Leo clicked his tongue, everyone was looking at him and Aston Arc asked, "Sir, what did he mean by the last message?"

Leo sighed and replied, "I am not sure, but let's see how it unfolds."

Aston Arc nodded, and then he went back to his seat. The young man walked around. He was feeling restless, and anxious. Snow looked at him and took a deep breath before she said, "Axel and Joel are here, we are fine. You go and do what you need to do. Don't worry, we will be fine."

Leo stopped and looked at her, and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

Snow smiled and said, "Show Lily how brave her father is. Save as many as you can. Did you think I wouldn't notice why you are feeling restless?"

The young man thought about it and smiled as he said, "How did I ever come across you?"

Snow chuckled and said, "It is your good deeds."

Leo smiled and leaned in to peck her, then he picked up Lily and kissed her cheek as he asked, "Would you be alright?"

Lily nodded and said, "I will be good."

Leo handed her to Snow and then he walked out of the auditorium and headed to the security room. His steps were calm but they were filled with confidence. The moment he stepped out of the auditorium, the gears in his brian began to turn very quickly.

He reached the security room and heard Kyle and the boys cussing out, calling the military incompetent. He asked, "What is going on?"

Kyle said, "They asked us if we can go out and clear the terrorists from the ground floor. The bulk door is already under attack. It might come apart at any moment."

Leo turned to look at the shutter and indeed it was trembling. He looked at the screen on the side, and picked up a gun as he loaded it and said, "Since they cannot come in, we have to head out anyways. At the moment, the terrorists must be facing a lot of pressure from outside and we have the chance to take them down. Let us earn some merit, and make them understand that you guys are not mercenaries, but soldiers who might have taken different paths in life, but you don't stand with terrorism and shady stuff."

That said, he flung the strap over his shoulder and turned around to face the shutter. He was ready to kill any and all terrorists he saw.
