Facing The Enemy?

Inside the virtual realm, Leo was practicing things with the help of an old figure before him. The young man did not know who this person was. However, since it was helpful to him, Leo did it without holding back. His stamina was questioned multiple times, and whenever he did something wrong, he was thrown to the ground and smacked in the face by the figure that helped him. 

Leo could not wait for the scenario to end. After ten hours, when Leo came out of the virtual realm, he felt as if his body was made up of lead. Every inch of his physique was sore and he felt that even breathing was a task. 

However, he did not feel upset, on the contrary, he had a smile on his face, because when he was laying on the bed while sick, he begged the gods and the demons to enable him to feel nothing else but pain again. He was so desperate to feel his body that he did not mind if it was pain. 

After resting for another half an hour, the pain reduced a lot and Leo stood up to get himself some nourishment. He made himself a high protein milkshake and then he made some of it for Lily and Snow as well. 

After having his meal, the young man went to the garage and began to stream. His viewers were waiting for him eagerly, and after finishing his streaming, Leo picked up the car keys and left the house quickly to pick up his family. 

As he was moving out of the house, he heard a soft meow, and picked up the kitten in his arms. He scratched her chin and asked, "Do you also want to go out?" 

The kitten meowed, as it licked Leo's finger. The young man replied, "Fine, if you want to, come along." 

…

Lily was surprised to see Momo in the back seat when she got on, and began to tease the kitten while telling Leo how her day was. 

The young man chatted with her while they reached the school to pick up Snow, who called Leo and told him to come up. 

Leo was surprised at first and then he moved with Lily and Momo to the staff building. Just when he was about to go to the staff room, Snow came through an alleyway and grabbed his arm. She startled him and said, "Come this way, quick." 

Leo sensed a feeling of urgency on her face, and he tugged on Lily's arm to follow Snow. They quickly came to a room, where a few old teachers were sitting, and they all greeted Leo with a smile on their faces. 

Snow said, "Mrs. Kristen, can you look after Lily for a bit. I have to take Leo somewhere, we will be back shortly." 

These people had just come to the lunch hosted by the family and so they were familiar, and agreed to Snow. After Lily was settled inside, Snow grabbed Leo's arm and led him to the terrace of the five floor building. 

Leo asked, "What are we doing here?" 

Snow took a few deep breaths and said, "You remember I told you about that child with the Primus name?" 

Leo nodded, he had a vague expression of the name, and asked, "Is she really connected to the Primus Family?" 

Snow replied, "I just saw Joss coming in to meet with the principal. A few days ago, someone tried to bully the girl, and she told her mother about it. However, when her mother raised a complaint she was dismissed by the board. The child was being bothered continuously, but today, Joss showed up with the child and her mother. From what I caught on was he came on behalf of the child's father. You know what it means?" 

Leo nodded and said while looking at the horizon, "She is Carole's child. Joss would not move for anyone but that shit head. Also, if Joss is here, that means so is Carole." 

Snow took Leo to look at the front of the school, and pointed at an extended car parked in front of the gates, and said, "That is where I think he is." 

Leo clenched his fist when he saw the car, and asked, "Did he see you?" 

Snow shook her head and replied, "This place is not visible from the road, the boundary wall is a bit too high for peeking through the car." 

Leo nodded and said, "It is not yet the time to engage Carole, but if possible, can you get me all the details about the child and her mother. I want to see if they can be used as weapons." 

Snow looked at him with surprise but then she nodded with a smile and said, "Your resolve has improved." 

Leo smiled and replied, "Thanks to the word of my wife, or I would have stayed the same old stupid man." 

That said, he took out his phone and called Jimmy. The latter replied that they were still in the city. Leo asked him to meet for dinner. 

Jimmy agreed, and Snow asked after the call was disconnected, "Do you think he is linked with all this?" 

Leo shrugged and replied, "Only one way to find out. I will go out in the evening and ask him what is going on." 

The young lady nodded and they watched the scene for a few minutes, before three people appeared at the school gate. Joss went to the car while the two people stood near the gates, then the burly muscled man came back with a bag in his hands and gave it to the mother of the child before giving her some words and then he left in the car. 

Snow asked, "What do you think he said?" 

Leo replied calmly, "Probably told her to take the money and not bother him. That is all, no worries, we will find out what is going on here when the time comes." 

Snow nodded as they both returned downstairs to pick Lily and they left the school in their car. On the way, Leo was maintaining vigil and he decided to learn anti tracking skills in the virtual space in the future. They would come in handy.
