Supreme Mars novel Chapter 58

When Leo was in the army, he learned a few basic skills from Sharon Bell, the chief military doctor of the Wyverns. Even so, he was still better than some so-called "experts" around here, so he could tell at a glance that the young man had not caught a cold at all. He was in perfect shape physically, and was merely acting for the occasion.

This "medical disturbance" was probably just a farce created by Shawn to swindle more money out of Marie.

Shawn did not care about his father's well-being at all. He was utterly addicted to gambling, and even fought with his father a few times because of it. He detested his father so much that he wanted him to die as soon as possible, so that he could use the inheritance money to fuel his addiction.

Leo was trying to salvage Shawn's reputation for his father’s sake, but that seemed like a pointless endeavor.

"Let him go!" Shawn surrounded them aggressively with several people. "He is already very weak. How can he survive such torture? Do you even know anything about medicine? Do you even have a license?"

Leo gave him a significant look and smiled. "Are you scared?"

Shawn jeered instantly as if he had heard a big joke. "What? Why would I be scared? I'm just worried that you'll do something stupid. You don't know a thing about medicine, yet you insist on putting on a charade here. What if something bad happens to him? Can you prepared to deal with that?"

At this time, Marie also pulled Leo's sleeves anxiously and said, "Leo, didn't you say that you could raise one million? but let's put that aside, how could you add fuel to fire now?"

Leo explained lightly, "The solution I'm talking about is to find out the person who tried to frame you, not to eat dirt and give them money. Or are you so willing to be ripped off?"

"I..." Marie was rendered speechless as she turned pale and blushed.

Of course, she did not want to be scammed but the situation was urgent.

"Don't worry. I won't disappoint you." Leo said seriously.

Marie did not know what to say before Leo's firm eyes.

Leo then looked at Shawn and chuckled. "It's not your concern whether I can take the consequences or not. Just get out of my way."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger lightly.

The slender needle pierced toward the skinny young man.

His face turned deathly pale at once, and he kept struggling but was pressed down tightly by Nadine.

"Pfft!"

The needle went deep into the young man, making him scream in pain. "Ah! It hurts. It hurts so much!"

Shawn was greatly frightened as well and shouted, "What the hell did you do to me!"

He swooped to Leo and tried to snatch away the needle in his hand.

But before he could even get anywhere near him, he was kicked away.

"Clang!"

There just so happened to be a trash can nearby. He fell headfirst into the dump, leaving only his legs kicking around like a frog.

"No one is allowed to approach Mr. Cohen when he is in the middle of something." Nadine gave a murderous glance around the crowd and her voice was as cold as ice.

People flooded backwards in shock. Marie also experienced a thrill of fear and gaped at Nadine while thinking, "She looks so quiet... who would have thought that she could be so ruthless?'

"You... just you wait..." The family members cast furious gazes at Nadine but quickly backed away in terror after Nadine gave them a hard glare. So many people were still no match for Nadine alone.

"Shawn, Shawn, are you alright?" The group went to the trash can, grasping Shawn's legs and pulling him out.

There was a rotten banana peel on his head, and a flock of flies was buzzing around him. Everyone subconsciously took a step back and pinched their noses.

"Leo, you tried to humiliate me like this? You’re finished..." Shawn threw away the banana peel and rushed toward Leo in exasperation.

However, Leo didn't even give him a look. He fixed his stern gaze on the skinny young man and said, "I'll give you one minute. Tell us the truth, or..."

Leo pulled out another needle and asked lightly, "Have you ever heard of 'needle punishment'?"

The young man was lost in a fog but Marie behind him felt a chill for no reason.

She was a medical student and had heard of needle punishment.

It was an acupuncture method, but instead of being called "needle treatment", it was more often called "needle punishment".

720 needles were inserted into all sensitive points in the patient. They would remove the major and minor illnesses lying inside, but the patient would also have a feeling of thousands of arrows penetrating the heart. This method had been banned due to its cruelty...

Marie stared blankly at the back of Leo and wondered, "He knows how to do that?"

Needle punishment was extremely difficult because the doctor had to know well about all the acupoints and also be fast, ruthless, and accurate while inserting the needles. That was why just a very few people could apply this technique.

As a saying goes, "He who knows little, fears little." The skinny young man glanced at the long and thin needle and made up his mind, thinking, "Isn't it just a needle? What's there to be afraid of?"

He gritted his teeth and coughed violently before he said, "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Ahh..." Before he could finish, he shrieked as Leo inserted the needle into him.

All of a sudden, he was sweating profusely, and it felt like a knife was piercing through him.

Leo took out another needle unhurriedly and said carelessly, "You still have 30 seconds."

The young man ground his teeth tightly although sweat had already soaked his clothes, making him resemble a drowned mouse.

But he was still trying to push his luck and said, "Murder. This is murder... Ahem, call the police..."

Leo flicked his finger again.

Another needle whistled into his body.

The man squealed like a stuck pig.

He finally collapsed this time, crying loudly.

At the same time, he cursed, "Shawn Harris, you son of a bitch! I won't take this job anymore!"

He soon confessed, "I’m not sick. He told me to fake it the whole thing."

He cursed with snot and tears on his face, "He gave me some money, and asked me to pretend to be a patient with a bad cold. He also said that some stupid woman with a ton of money would give him millions of dollars, which we could split fifty-fifty."

Everyone looked over at Shawn, with their mouths agape.

Marie was shaking violently in rage and thought, "So it was a scam!"

Shawn turned ghastly white.

Leo smiled satisfactorily and then gazed at the young man with a faint smile. "Really? I see that you're seriously ill all of a sudden."

It nearly scared the man out of his wits. "Please forgive me. I'm really not sick."

After that, he even jumped a few times and stopped coughing as well. "See? How can a seriously ill person be so lively?"

No one spoke. An awkward atmosphere permeated the air.

"Run!" Suddenly, Shawn cried and ran away quickly.

The others followed in a hurry.

""Stop!" Marie wanted to chase after him.

But Leo stopped her and said, "No need to run after them. They're just useful idiots."

"What do you mean? There’s someone else behind it?" Marie widened her eyes.

Leo did not reply, but instead sneered.
