Supreme Mars novel Chapter 57

As soon as Leo and Marie got out of the community, they saw a black Rolls-Royce there.

Marie cast a few more glances and exclaimed automatically when she saw the license plate number, A1.

"I didn't expect Emerdale to have such a low-key rich man." Marie sighed.

Leo smiled and asked, "Is this car expensive?"

"Of course." When speaking about cars, Marie became excited; "Different people have different cars. Generally speaking, nouveau-riche people prefer sports cars like Lamborghinis and Porsches."

"Rolls-Royce is a brand for people of high status. Due to its less popular model, few people choose this car type. But the people who drive it are all well-known big shots. This car, in particular, is a limited edition, and the best of that brand."

"Is that so?" Leo nodded but did not say more as he did not know much about cars.

Marie sighed again and said, "I also have several sports cars, but they’re nothing compared to this car here."

"If so, you can experience it more a bit later," Leo said with a smile.

"Huh?" Marie was confused.

While Marie was in a state of shock, Nadine got down from the car and walked toward Leo.

She was not wearing her signature skin-tight black leather suit today. Instead, she had changed into professional attire.

Her tall and curvy figure outshone Marie, who was still a young, adolescent girl.

"Mr. Cohen, please." Nadine opened the door for Leo.

Marie listened with her mouth open. "This car is yours?"

Leo smiled and said, "Sort of."

Truth be told, he did not know where this car came from. Nadine had been driving it to pick him up since the first day he arrived Emerdale, and had not used any other car since.

"Take us to Emerdale University," he said.

Nadine immediately stepped on the gas and the car moved steadily along the road.

The traffic slowed to make way for it, which excited Marie, since there was no such treatment when she drove one of her sport cars on the road.

She gradually came to her senses and looked at Leo suspiciously.

Yesterday, she believed that her brother-in-law was an ordinary man, but now it seemed that he was not as simple as he looked...

Soon, they arrived at the campus.

However, after the group walked in, there was a sea of people waving all kinds of banners at the entrance to the Medical Department.

The crowd were being stirred up, and confronting several college staff. One banner read: "A murderer lurks on campus".

"Where is that student? Get her over here!"

"What prescription did she give? My father is seriously ill now and we are infected as well!"

Several teachers explained with hideous expressions. "She’s been expelled. This has nothing to do with us."

"Is that so?" The leading young man shouted the most loudly, "Don't think about shirking your responsibilities. If you don't hand over that student today, we’ll protest here for as long as it takes!"

"Click! Click!"

Several reporters were taking pictures nearby, making the scene even more chaotic.

Marie trembled all over and was too petrified to take another step forward.

But Leo's eyes turned cold when he realized what was going on at a glance.

It was a medical disturbance.

The patient's family came to make a scene, claiming that the doctor had misdiagnosed the patient, and they demanded astronomical compensation in return.

Next to them stood some middle-aged women who were dramatically wiping away tears. It was not difficult to figure out that they were hired to perform here.

Leo had planned to help Marie return to school first, and then to visit the patient's family to check up on the situation. But given the current situation, he needed to change his strategy.

One sharp-eyed teacher spotted Marie from the crowd and her eyes lit up. "There she is. That’s the student you're looking for!"

Then, she dashed over to Marie, grabbed her arm, and dragged her inside. "She's here. Talk to her if you need to. What she did has nothing to do with our university."

Leo followed Marie hurriedly with Nadine.

That young man surrounded them at once with his family.

Marie had never experienced such a thing, so she was both shocked and angry. "I've told you that I will compensate you for one million dollars. What else do you want?"

The man grinned. "One million is not enough now."

Marie asked in fright, "What do you mean?"

"One million is the compensation for what you did to my father, but we found out that some of my brothers and sisters also got a serious cold a few days ago. How about that?" The man looked at Marie maliciously and yelled, "Now, you have to give us two million dollars for this thing to go away!"

"Two million?" Marie shook violently due to the anger. "Why don't you just rob me in broad daylight instead?"

"That’s a no, then? Fine, I'll see you in court!" He threatened.

At this time, Leo stepped forward, shielded Marie, squinted at him, and said, "Aren't you Mr. Harris' son?"

"Who are you?" Shawn Harris leered at Leo and did not know who he was.

"I'm Leo Cohen," Leo said.

The name indeed rang a bell and Shawn responded in kind. "I was wondering who you are, and it turns out that you're nothing special."

Leo chose not to reply, and just stared at him severely.

Mr. Harris was the butler of the Ford family, and had treated Leo like his own son since he was a child. Leo had even dined several times at Mr. Harris' house, and met Shawn several times over the years.

Mr. Harris's family used to be well-off, but his son had a chronic gambling addiction and lost the entire family fortune.

However, this was not what made Leo frown.

"If Shawn was the patient's family member, then the one who got sick was... Mr. Harris?" he wondered.

"What's wrong with Mr. Harris?" Leo asked coldly, with a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Shawn replied carelessly, "You should ask the girl next to you instead. My dad was misdiagnosed by her."

"I didn't!" Marie argued in a loud voice. "My prescription was accurate."

"Then why is my dad lying sick in bed?" Shawn decided to push his luck. "Just cut the crap. Two million, not a cent less!"

The other family members also scolded her.

"My father is old and his days are numbered, not matter what. But I got infected too. If anything happens to us, can you afford to deal with the fallout?"

"That's right. Look at him. Look how badly he's coughing!"

As he spoke, all his family members pointed at a thin young man. He was almost a bag of bones and coughed from time to time. He seemed seriously ill.

Leo glanced at Shawn and then that skinny man, and his eyes turned cold suddenly as he asked, "Is he really ill?"

Shawn's face changed slightly, and then he looked at Leo like he was looking at a fool and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see that it's severe?"

Leo did not say anything, but turned to look at Nadine instead.

She understood him immediately, and approached the gaunt young man.

One family member who was supporting him was shocked and asked, "What do you want to do?"

But Nadine simply gave him a cold stare which silenced him.

No one dared to stop her, including Shawn who had also been intimidated by her strong murderous intent.

Her blood-red eyes were especially chilling.

The skinny young man gawked at Nadine in fear and asked with a trembling voice, "You... what do you want?"

Nadine merely carried him over to Leo like he was a purse.

Leo took out a box of needles and then pulled out a long one, which reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

When people saw this needle, not only did the thin young man was frightened, but Shawn also panicked and asked, "What... what do you think you’re doing?"

Marie shuddered as well as she had never seen such a long needle.

Leo sneered, "Isn't he infected with a nasty cold? I'll treat him then."

In an instant, Shawn's face turned as black as coal.
