Supreme Mars novel Chapter 2

What kind of look was that?

It was a look that despised all living beings!

Leo looked so calm to the point that he seemed to be looking at a corpse!

"Scram."

His voice was ice-cold. "I won't say it a second time."

"Leo! Stop right there!"

Leo's insistence on entering the villa angered Caroline. "My dad is very sick! Do you still want to agitate him?"

Leo looked at her indifferently and ignored her.

Raymond got up from the ground pathetically, his eyes filled with malice. "If you don't want to leave, you don't have to," he said. "Break his legs and make him kneel in front of William's bed to apologize!"

His six bodyguards emerged from both sides and had Leo surrounded in an instant.

"Leo, run!" a panicked Gary shouted.

Leo pretended not to hear him. He continued to walk calmly with his back to the bodyguards.

"Idiot."

Raymond sneered. Meanwhile, Caroline remained unmoved and watched without doing anything.

Two bodyguards flanked Leo from left and right, attacking him from both sides.

Just as their hands were about to touch him, Leo turned his head and threw a quick, fierce fist.

His fist hit the face of the bodyguard on the left straight on.

The bodyguard flew backward as if he had been hit by a truck, knocking his colleague behind him, and fainted.

A pin-drop silence fell over the yard.

Caroline and Raymond widened their eyes at Leo in disbelief. They looked like they were staring at a monster.

Gary was too terrified to move and his lips were trembling. He wanted to say something but no words came.

The other bodyguards stopped and looked warily at Leo. They gradually closed in around Raymond out of fear that he might attack their boss next.

Leo did not.

He looked as composed as ever, as if he had merely swatted a fly. He did not even look at them before turning around and continuing to walk to the living room.

Raymond came to his senses by then, and a trace of panic crossed his eyes. Caroline even shouted in a sharp voice, "Leo, how dare you!"

At this moment, she finally understood why Leo had the nerve to come back.

She did not know what he had experienced in the past five years, but she could tell that he had gotten stronger.

"Why is it so noisy!? Argh!"

The commotion outside attracted the attention of others in the villa. A well-dressed woman who resembled Caroline walked out. When she saw the expressionless Leo walking toward her, she stopped talking and screamed in horror.

Her scream alarmed everyone inside the villa.

"What's wrong?"

"What is it?"

When the rest saw Leo, all of them closed their mouths and looked at him with grim expressions without exception.

"I thought this hapless bastard died. Why did he come back?"

"Did he cause the commotion earlier?"

"What does he want?"

Leo stopped after hearing these voices and his expression softened. "Everyone, I'll explain what happened later," he pleaded. "Let me go in and see my dad first."

"Stop right there!"

When Leo was about to walk past his relatives, a harsh-sounding scream stopped him.

He turned around to see Caroline's mother, Rebecca, pointing at him and scolding him in a hysterical voice. "You hapless bastard! How dare you come back! Haven't you harmed us enough already?"

"Mom, it's not what you think..."

"Shut up!"

Rebecca cut him off ruthlessly. When she saw the two unconscious bodyguards outside the door, she immediately understood what was going on. She became even angrier. "And now you're stirring up trouble in our house too!"

"I think he just wants to kill us!"

Patricia, Caroline's second aunt, also pointed at him and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "Of all the time in the world to come back, you came back when William is about to die. What are you scheming?"

"I think he has something to do with William's sudden unconsciousness. He might be the one who caused it!"

Marla, Caroline's eldest aunt, cut in. "Look at how perfect his timing is. This means he's been back for a while now, and he's been spying on us from nearby!"

"Call 911 now! Get the cops to arrest him!"

Suddenly, Leo became the target of the Fords' resentment.
