Supreme Mars novel Chapter 26

These words were accompanied by a repressed but no less dangerous killing intent, causing everyone present to hold their breath.

This was an anonymous wedding; in fact, people only learned during the wedding itself that the bride was Lydia Henderson.

Everyone could only see the groom from behind, so his identity remained a mystery.

Hans's words revealed some useful information.

To be called the Commander of the Wyverns, the groom had to be from the military.

"Do you know who the Commander of the Wyverns is?" Hans asked coldly.

Homer shook his head, feeling even more lost than before.

"He's known as the God of the War in the military, a supreme commander and masterful tactician."

At the mention of the Commander of the Wyverns, a solemn look of worship appeared on Hans's tanned face.

"He's the commander who protects our country. As long as he's here, Winbury is safe, and no enemies will dare approach us."

"He retired after five glorious years in the military just so he could give his lover a home."

"It's finally his wedding today, and the entire nation is celebrating with him, yet you brought people here to wreck it?"

With a sharp change of the topic, Hans glared at Homer and said coldly, "Do you have a death wish?"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Homer shook his head repeatedly. "No, of course not..."

He had never regretted anything this much in his life. He should not have come tonight.

"Do you think that you're better than everyone else, just because you have power and influence?"

Hans extinguished his cigarette, then lifted his leg and kneed Homer in the stomach.

"Ugh..."

Hans folded into himself like a shrimp and then vomited the acid in his stomach.

His face was as white as a piece of paper. Tears were even coming out of his eyes.

Hans was the commander-in-chief of the Emerdale Military Region not just because of his military exploits, but also because of his incredible strength and ability.

His knee strike was so powerful that drove the wind straight out of Homer.

"Stand up. If you're a soldier, then act like one," Hans said emotionlessly, picking up Homer who was about to sprawl on the floor.

Everyone was silent. No one dared to speak, and even their breathing slowed.

It was hard to imagine that Homer was aggressively trying to arrest Leo on the attempted murder charges just five minutes ago, only to be punished in such a manner.

Leo, the one who had sparked all of this, did not utter a single word from beginning to end. He merely watched the whole process with a smile.

"Warrant Officer Homer Gibbs!" Hans shouted, taking everyone aback. He stared at Homer and said, "You've committed a grave crime by abusing your power and colluding with external merchants. For those crimes, you’ve been discharged. Do you have any objections?"

"None at all." Homer looked sullen but he did not dare to plead otherwise.

To him, it was lucky enough that he was only removed from his military position and not held accountable.

Hans nodded and let go of him. Then, he waved his hand and the fierce-looking men behind him reluctantly put away their pistols.

"Tell those from the military to leave. Their weapons are meant to protect civilians, not to be used against them." Hans said.

Homer got up from the ground, gritting his way through the pain. He ordered his men to leave Oceania and quickly fled the scene in disgrace.

"You, come here."

Hans cast a cold glance at Peter before walking in a certain direction.

When Peter saw where Hans was going, his face contorted. It was not due to pain, but because of a truth that he could not accept.

Caroline and her mother were also scared out of their wits to see Han walking in their direction. "They're coming toward us!"

William looked worried but still, he stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hans stood still and carefully sized up William a few times. Suddenly, he cracked a grin. "Uncle William?"

Uncle?

William was taken aback at the familiar way Hans was addressing him, as were his wife and daughter. "Did you... get the wrong person?"

Then, a thought occurred to them. They turned back to look at Leo, who was still happily sampling wine, in disbelief. Was it because of him?

But how could it be?

Caroline was flabbergasted. How did this good-for-knowing know the commander-in-chief of the Emerdale Military Region?

But very quickly, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Though Hans was walking toward Leo, he did not stop in front of him. He nodded at Leo, but walked past him to get to Nadine, who was standing behind Leo. He gave the wraith-like woman a respectful military salute.

Nadine returned the salute.
