Almighty Father System-Chapter 97: Taking Charge. (Main Chapter.)

Leo lay in the chair with his eyes closed and entered the virtual realm. He honed his skills for combat, because he knew there was no other way for them to get out of here.

Then after he came out of the virtual realm, he took a deep breath and asked, ’System, how can I use the Vitality revival without revealing it to the world? Can I use it on my daughter?’

’Ping: Yes, host, you can use the vitality revival on your daughter. She will wake up in five minutes, and the revival will also cure most of her trauma. As for you, the system will limit the revival to make up for the blood lost earlier, the wound would not be healed until and after you have consulted a doctor.’

Leo asked, ’You really can delay a process midway?’

’Ping: Host, the system is built for guidance and convenience of the host, if the system can justify where the funds came from, or the fire arm license, then recovery processes can be regulated as well.’

Leo nodded and said, ’Go ahead, do it.’

He felt his strength recovering slowly as the system worked his magic. Leo opened his eyes and he found Snow leaning on his shoulder, he patted on her hand and asked, "Love, I am okay now."

The young lady nodded but her hand didn’t loosen around his arms. He consoled her for a few minutes, and then Anastasia said, "Lily, don’t worry dear, grandma is beside you."

She spoke very gently so as to not give Lily a start. Snow let go of Leo and attended to Lily. The young man got up from his chair, and he looked at the Doctor and said, "Sir, if you don’t mind, can you see if anyone else also needs help? Quite a few of them must have suffered from shock."

The doctor checked Leo once and said, "I will get to it now, Mister Cardinal. Please call me if you need me."

Leo nodded and then he turned to look at Lily who had yet to wake up properly. He turned to look at Kyle and Jock who were standing a couple of meters away from him. He asked, "What is the status?"

Kyle said, "Sir, the SWAT forces outside have taken charge, and they are keeping them busy. However, there are still people rushing in. They are going door to door and catching hostages. It won’t be long before they come here also."

Leo looked around and after some thought he asked, "Do any of you have any contacts in the government? Can you ask the authorities what they are doing about the rescue?"

One lady raised her hand and stood up as she said, "I am Carmine Mitch, I work as the secretary in the Capital Office. I asked a few people and they said that it is underway. However, they aren’t giving anything concrete."

Some people frowned, and Leo said, "That is normal, it is a war like situation, they cannot trust anyone who is trapped inside because who knows if the terrorists are getting help from the inside as well."

Someone stood up and asked, "Then why should we trust you? What if you are the one helping them?"

Leo reached into his pocket and then took out the firearm license. He showed it to the public and said, "If you think I am helping them, I won’t have killed seven of them directly."

The red book in his hand caused many people to choke the negative things they were about to say. It was indeed true, why would Leo kill the seven people if he was the one helping them, and also why would the terrorists knock out his daughter.

It wasn’t that Leo wanted to flex his license, but it was a condition for the license holders to carry it everywhere so that if need be they can help the forces, and this license also allowed them some emergency services.

Just when he was about to say something, he heard a soft voice, "Baba."

Leo dropped everything, turned to walk over to his family, and he scooped Lily in his arms. The little girl hugged him with all her might. Snow and Anastasia were much calmer now, but they were still a little unsettled. They couldn’t coax Lily in this situation.

The young man, however, had the buff, calm in chaos and brave in need activated. He patted the back of his daughter gently and said, "Jock, go find out the blueprint plan of this floor. It should be pasted on some door or emergency exit. Also, while you are at it, leaving the main door, block every entry point, including the emergency one."

Jock nodded, and took two men with him as he moved quickly. Leo then looked at Axel and said, "You and Joel should help the doctor and treat the elders and the kids. Try to soothe their nerves so that they get out of shock."

After a few minutes, a few pop sounds were heard from the entrance door. Leo said, "Lily, can you stay with Ma, Baba has to handle a few things. How about you go to sleep and then when we finish things here, I will buy you an ice cream milkshake that you like."

Lily shook her head and Leo patted her back as he asked, "Do you want to go home?"

Lily nodded and the young man said, "Then let Baba deal with these things, please. You are my brave princess, yes?"

Lily sniffled and then nodded. Leo propped her up and kissed her cheeks as he said, "Baby, don’t cry, Baba will be back in a quick moment."

Lily nodded and held back her tears. She was scared, but due to the system remedy, she was feeling a little better. Leo kissed her cheek one more time and said, "Good baby, I will be back. Okay?"

He handed Lily to Snow, and said, "Axel, Joel, Santana, Douglas, you are going to guard my family with your life. You hear me?"

These were the guards who usually followed Snow, so they were more familiar with her. They nodded and then took positions around the two ladies. Leo then said, "Jock, you and Kyle are with me. The rest will block and guard the entry points here."

The guards nodded and moved around quickly. One of the people from the crowd asked, "Mister Cardinal, what are you going to do?"

Leo turned to look at the person and said, "Mister Aston, the event was organized by the school, and as a member of the trust, I am just going there to assure that our guests can leave safely."

Aston was the board manager, and he gulped when he saw Leo shooting the people earlier. However, after some thought, he nodded and said, "Okay. Please be careful."

The young man nodded and then he looked at Snow, who was holding Lily. She gazed back at him and said, "No more injuries."

Leo nodded and turned around to go out with Kyle and Jock. The two of them gave him a handgun. Jock said, "They might be coming for the corridor soon. What do you suggest Sir?"

They were both trained soldiers, but last time when they assaulted Trevor, they realized that Leo was a good commander as well. He was decisive and didn’t waste much time either. The young man inspected the weapon in his hand and then he looked at Kyle, who was holding the assault rifle and said, "We will take turns to shoot and Kyle you are the suppressor among us. If we receive heavy fire, you will counter it with bursts. If you have a clear shot, take it. Shoot to kill."

The two men nodded, and exchanged gazes. They were right, Leo was a good commander, he made use of their weapons properly and came up with an approach on the go. The three of them stood in the corridor, and they were reading the map pasted on the wall beside the fire extinguisher.

Leo took off the extinguisher and then handed it to Kyle as he said, "This will work as a smoke screen, keep it hidden."

Then he looked at the wood chopper ax and tucked it behind his back and then undid the safety of the gun as he said, "Firstly, we need to make our way to the security room. That is where all the electricity controls are, and so is the monitoring station. The terrorists must have set a point of operations there. We dismantle that, and coordinate with the forces outside."

Jock nodded and said, "Call it good or bad, the security station in this property is located on the same floor as us. However, it will draw significant fire if we head there."

Kyle nodded but he sighed and said, "No other way, if we pin all our hopes in holding down the auditorium, who knows if they attack the doors with heavy ammunition or explosives?"

Leo hummed and said, "Let’s go, and tell me when you find a power socket. We need to take out the lights."

The three of them assumed echelon positions and moved forward tactically.
