Charles gets to know Chameleon’s real identity?
Seeing Charlotte’s eyes and the pressure it gives him, Charles feels both very happy and annoyed.
Happy for the strength that Charlotte has gotten and annoyed from his daughter’s uncontrollable emotions aimed at him.
Even if it was an accident, it is true that he hurt Lizzy and for that he will have to pay the prize.
And these emotions that she is showing is also why he is letting his other servants alone for awhile, even if he is not bad per say.
His actions might have impacted their mental stability and letting them regain themselves and not make this issue bigger than it needs to be.
He does not want to upset some mentally unstable and emotional people, that is a lost cause which he will have no part in.
Noticing her father’s face change as he thinks. (Charlotte:)”Before you came home, what angered you and started all of this?”
Charles stops pondering and stares at his daughter, the two stare into each other’s eyes; Charles very unsure if he should say it or not, but decides it is needed.
(Charles:)”The police came by delivering a lizard monster to our lab, if you wonder why they did so; that is because they wanted to know what it is.
A mutant lizard beast was attacking the city and Hellbitch dealt with it, they delivered it for us to investigate, but I knew instantly what it was and where it came from.
It came from our labs and I do not know who failed, or who betrayed me; but this situation is not one that I want to have to handle right now.
I became suspicious of all those around me, who would gain the most from creating a scandal like this, releasing monsters from my lab.
And your uncle Edward was one, your aunt Samandra was another; plus a bunch of other scientists and other people who I don’t care much for.
So you see what got me all flustered, this could take down Leon corporation and me; this could be the end for us if someone wanted to.”
Charles cools down after spilling the secret to his cutest daughter, Charlotte frowns deeply from this conundrum, even she is suspicious of Edward and Samandra.
Those two may seem close to her dad, but what they experienced at school together and growing up together might be hiding many dark secrets.
There where rumors about Samandra liking Charles, but he married her older sister and similarly Edward supposedly had feelings for Julia and Charles married her so…
This got much more difficult suddenly, but Charlotte’s mind races at superhuman speed and feels the opportunity to tell her father something.
(Charlotte:)”Dad… I lost Nidhogg, and I have been trying to find him but I can’t and it has been a long time and I have some theories and-“
But before she can continue with her acting like she is panicking. (Charles:)”Calm down, that is fine. Nidhogg won’t flip the entirety of Farlong on its head.”
Charlotte appears even more panicked and Charles stares at her oddly. (Charlotte:)”But what if Nidhogg somehow became Chameleon?” She asks hopefully and Charles stares in shock.
(Charles:)”Please tell me you are joking.” But Charlotte goes silent and does not dare say anything, Charles feels the ground fall apart under him.
How can Charlotte have failed this big? Even if Nidhogg is doing good as Chameleon, he/she is still not human and a test subject released onto this world.
This might further push the Leon corporation to its death, who would have thought that Charlotte would have been the one to do it…
(Charlotte:)”I made some equipment and tried to track down Chameleon, but it does not work well enough and Chameleon is doing so much good…”
Charlotte tries to explain herself a little about why she has been going out so much lately and that she has been trying to track down Nidhogg/Chameleon.
Of course this whole entire story line that she is telling her father is one that she has made to cover her tracks and her actions and it fits perfectly.
Also mentioning that Chad and David have been helping her with this, which is why they have been covering for each other and communicating a lot about this.
For Charles this whole thing feels like a nightmare, not like he has not experienced crazier things.
But he did not expect his daughter to be an important part in the destruction of Leon corporation and he is not sure how to save it.
Why did he ever decide to make this corporation? Why did he ever decide to honor his father and mother with this corporation?
Why did he use “that” to make this corporation what it is now? Why did he let Julia disappear like that? Maybe things would have been better if he cared less for success.
Looking over at his frantic daughter trying to make up many strategies to save the reputation of Leon corporation or to just survive legally.
Charlotte really did not expect to do this today, to try and save Leon corporation and her family; to save her father’s life’s work.
Having to think about what to do if all the mayor shareholders of the corporation banded together against Charles.
What to do with the corporation if he lost power over it, how to regain power and stability; what to do about certain shareholders that are not the most cooperative.
The two started looking through the important contracts of the corporation and what protection Charles has if this scandal blows up.
Sighing in relief when they notice that many patents for medicine and research are in his hands legally and they are core parts of the corporation’s continued existence.
