Leo came back home, and opened his laptop to make arrangements for tomorrow. At this moment, he also turned on the Television and began to look at the news just like usual.

While he was searching for the things he wanted to do for his daughter the next day, he heard a news, "Just in, the fugitive that the police has been looking for in several cases these days, Mister Echo Cardinal has been found dead, and his body was delivered to his father at the Cardinal Mansion.

The premise of the death is yet to be clarified, but the police have taken control of the scene, and the body has been sent to the coroner’s office for postmortem. The personal assistant of Chairman Cardinal, Qasim Beig, was the one who reported the incident and claimed that the family was not in contact with the deceased for the past few days since the issue came to light.

Another twist in the story is that after discovering about his son, Mister Vincent Cardinal had a blood hemorrhage, and is currently receiving treatment in the First Hospital. His condition is assumed to be critical."

Leo raised his brow and tilted his head to look at the screen before he mumbled, "The day after tomorrow, I will decide your fate as well, Vincent Cardinal."

Then he called Jock inside the house, and said, "Have a seat."

Jock sat down and Leo said, "Tomorrow, I plan to take my family out for the day. Arrange your details accordingly and all of you, dress up casually."

Jock nodded and said, "May I ask where we would be going?"

Leo began to tell him about the plan calmly and Jock took down the details on his phone quickly. When he was done dealing with it all, Jock went out to discuss this with Kyle and his other teammates, while the young man headed to the kitchen and made a call to Percie Hibiscal.

The young lady responded quickly and asked, "President, anything I can do for you?"

Leo replied, "Apart from taking down the OEM monopoly, please start buying out the Cardinal Group stocks. What is the trend?"

Percie Hibiscal replied, "From a source inside the Tyrant Group, I found that they are willing to sell all their shares. I have gotten people to buy them all discreetly. As for the shares in the hands of Vincent Cardinal, they amount to thirty percent. We already have enough to get a seat on the board, however, I sense that you want to dethrone him completely."

Leo replied, "Good speculation, get me as many of them as you can, because the Cardinal Group will vanish as soon as I step inside that office."

The CEO nodded, and Leo began to cook some food. Soon, it was time to pick up Lily, and he went out after cooking. Jock took the role of the driver, while Leo scrolled his mobile, looking at the messages from his viewers who wanted him to do something new.

Leo thought about it, and by the time he made a decision, they had arrived at their destination. The young man picked up Lily without a hiccup and while they were getting inside the car, he asked, "Lily, what do you say, we bake a cake together for mom?"

Lily’s eyes sparkled and she asked, "Can we?"

Leo nodded and the girl said, "Yes, I will be Chef Lily."

Leo smiled and said, "Jock, let us head to the supermarket, Chef Lily needs to buy some supplies for the cake."

Jock nodded and Lily said, "Uncle Jock, do you also like cakes?"

The man was surprised and then looked at Leo who said, "Go ahead, the young miss asked you something."

Jock nodded and replied, "I used to eat the cake my mother used to make for me when I was about your age, Young miss."

Lily hummed and then said, "Lily will also make a cake for you all. Ma told me that you work hard to keep us safe, and we should be grateful. I will give you a piece of my cake."

Leo was happy that his daughter was so kind, but at the same time he felt very jealous as well. He did not wish to share even the wind that his daughter used to breathe with other humans, but he could not act out like that, so he smiled patiently.

Then they made a short stop at the supermarket and bought a lot of stuff that was needed to bake a cake. Lily was fluttering around like a butterfly and when she got tired, Lily got her to ride his shoulders, and the girl cheered.

’Ping: First shoulder ride for the princess. Reward, War Horse Stamina, permanent upgrade.’

Leo was shocked, he did not expect that this simple gesture of his would get him such a reward, after paying the bill, they came back to the car, and Leo waited for them to leave the parking lot before he thought, ’System bring up the attribute panel.’

Leo thought about it for a second and he said, ’System, describe the level tab.’

’Ping; It is a surprise to see that the host has finally understood that the level tab can be expanded to see further details.’

Leo almost wanted to scold someone when the tab expanded, and Leo saw a bar that was half filled. He thought about it and a few numbers appeared above the bar, ’456/1000’

Leo asked, ’Explain to me how these numbers break down.’

’Ping: For every specific task that has been issued by the system you gain from twenty to fifty points. Apart from that the side quests that you perform successfully, such as combing your daughter’s hair, and picking her up from school, etc, you get five to ten points.’

Leo furrowed his brow and asked, ’Why wasn’t I told about this?’

’Ping: To prevent you from using these moments of bonding and love as opportunities to farm points. Host, the system aids you to be a good parent, and not an overpowered cliche that will not understand his true purpose and blindly follow the path of power.’

Leo thought about it and said, ’Well, what you said is something that I agree with. I know that the system is dependent on the will and wellness of my daughter, but I would have treated her the same even without the task points or your existence. Hmm, can these points be used?’

’The usage of the points will be explained when you level up to intermediate father.’

Leo nodded, and when he was thinking about it, the system said, ’Ping: Host, help Lily bake a nice cake, and gain a surprise gift.’

The people reached the house, and Leo took a deep breath and asked, "Chef Lily, are you ready for battle?"

Lily nodded with a sparkling smile, "Yes, Baba!"

Then the two vanished inside the kitchen, with little Momo following behind them.
