Side-Note: this chapter will be more of a summary of events, sadly I need an info dump chapter to move things on a bit quicker in the story. Forgive me, I know it’s not the way we want it but it will have some character stuff too. So it’s like one part info dump, one part character stuff.
OH AND VOTE ON THE POLL UP TOP
On a side not the starcraft world will take place between Brood Wars and Starcraft 2.
=========================================
After all of that things flew by, five years later the Lionheart Group (owner of all lionheart companies) became one of the largest innovative group in the world. Leo had taken the world into new heights of science and technology and at the same time amassed a fortune unrivaled by anyone. That wasn’t to say that he acted like the typical 1%, he shared his wealth with as many as people as possible. Those who worked in his companies were given large benefits, good pay, and positive environments.
That’s not to say he only treated those close to his group good but he donated millions every year and had the best homeless relocation program in the world. He housed over forty percent of the homeless population in safe warm places. After all this he also began a charity campaign to not just house the homeless but to also help them. With his ideas after a few were cleared of violent histories did he start hiring and training new workers. He helped runaways who were abused and got them into schools, got addicts who wanted a new life cleaned up, and others who just needed a second chance.
As for schools he donated to school around the world and all while in the process began his own with revolutionary teaching methods. Some of which will staffed by the same homeless people he helped. Leo knew that with education he could make the world a better place, so all the teachers he hired were not the best per say. He wanted teachers who cared and who gave a shit about all their students, no matter what they thought of themselves.

After his charity work came the medical advancements he brought to the world. With Lionheart Pharmatech the development for the world’s first non-invasive body scan came into existence. It allowed doctors to mix x-ray, MRI, and CT scans all in one without having to make separate scans, all at minimal cost to patients. After all that was the emergency medical gel that was developed for soldiers and civilians for bullet wounds. After its release it had saved several thousand people across the country and was now being developed for use in Europe. Lastly with the use of nano-robotics (a precursor to nanites) the treatment for various viruses, funguses, and even cancer had begun to show up. For the first time in medical treatment did there seem to be a solution to diseases and sicknesses that were never thought of.
On the media sector, Lionheart TV became the world’s leading news station. For the first time in a long time people were given news that wasn’t so depressive and that provided news in an easy to understand way, accurately. Over were the days of heavy propaganda from the governments across the world, with the exception of North Korea but nothing could be done about that. Leo made sure that the news was now presented unbiasedly which in turn changed a lot of views of western countries about other parts of the world. A main example is after two years of peaceful news reporting, extremism in America about race, sex, and even religion, radically decreased. On the other hand it forced all the extremist to band together.
On the industrial side, with a combination of Lionheart Technologies, Robotics, and Energies; most industrial factories now no longer produced any carbon footprint. Most if not all factories in America were repurposed with these new machines not because of the carbon footprint, but also for the dramatic rise in efficiency as well. As for energy, he owned the most efficient solar farm in the western hemisphere (being how it was run also by replicators).
With all this success came adversity. Critics alike accused Leo of having a messiah complex (no shit really?) and that with his views would cause collapse of the western world. They blamed the increase of runaways, crime and anything else they could on him. Yet with all that Leo didn’t give two shits about them. Say what they will the world was in a better place, the economy was up, crime was lower than it had ever been in over ten years, and people were happier all around.

However that wasn’t the end of his adversity, with his help to the world there were some that didn’t like it. First off were the politicians, those remaining despised him, he was educating people and they couldn’t have that. They launched targeted attacks on him, denouncing him, the ‘Lionheart Group’, and badmouthing his help. That ended up pretty bad for them, seeing how the people they represented weren’t being heard, ‘We like Leo, don’t say bad things about Leo’ was the general consensus.
Next off were the corporations, they didn’t like that Leo had taken up a foothold in nearly every industry known to man. Even more so they didn’t like that they also couldn’t do a damn thing to stop him. Those early patents they licensed from him way back in the beginning were now screwing them over. Since all the tech they had now basically required the crystal processor, they were shit out of luck in trying to stop him. That is if they still wanted to be in business.
Lastly were the extremist, this was the one thing that scared the shit out of Leo. So much he in turn created Lion’s Securities. A private military company that he owned that was equipped with the latest gadgets of Lionheart Technologies, Defense sector. The men hired weren’t your run of the mill soldiers, in fact they were what you’d call disabled. Soldiers who had lost arms and legs were immediately on the list of candidates. Not for their service but for what they stood for, to have lost something that they never thought they could get back. Leo gave these men a chance first, with prosthetic super limbs. This technology gave men a chance a new positive outlook on life.
Now back to those extremist, Leo one year had gotten word that the two of the most extreme groups had come together and united on a common enemy, Leo. They were planning on attacking his home, office, and company locations. This was something Leo couldn’t let stand, so with some extreme consideration from him and Sadia. In the end Leo contacted his friends at the pentagon and an hour later he got word in the form of a single line. ‘It will be taken care of’.
With all this good and bad Leo still had not completed his only goal left, his daughter. After his rise to power as Tech guru he’d tracked down his ex-wife and friend. He’d sent numerous request to meet, talk, or even just see his daughter, all of which he never got a reply. As time went by the more nervous and anxious he’d gotten about it. Finally one day Sadia and Janice couldn’t put up with it anymore and pushed him into just going and seeing them.
Five days later he’d arrived in their neighborhood and saying he was furious would be taking him lightly. After some investigation he’d discovered the two fuckups had become addicts, and were barely functioning, let alone taking care of a twelve year old girl. Leo demanded a full investigation as he stayed around to look for signs of his daughter. After several hours of research he’d gotten what he wanted and sometimes the truth hurt. His daughter was missing.

Well, that or you've read it before on my old account, Eli8iR, which I had to delete because of a probably silly reason that will need a shitton of weed to make me spill.
