Supreme Mars novel Chapter 78

"Leo!"

When she clearly saw the figure in front of her, Lydia let out a sharp cry and the rims of her eyes became moist.

She didn't expect that her husband would appear just in the nick of time.

"Go, take Emilia with you."

Leo said without looking back, and his voice was extremely stern.

Lydia's eyes were filled with indescribable shock. She had never seen Leo like this before, cold and threatening.

Immediately, she picked up Emilia and went into the elevator.

She had covered her daughter's eyes with her hand when she saw how violently Peter was thrown against the wall. She didn't want to frighten her daughter.

Just then, Peter got back his senses and felt a sharp pain in his head.

When he lifted his hand to touch his head, he felt an icy cold sticky substance on his head. It was blood.

Realizing that he was bleeding, Peter's face contorted into an ugly threatening look. He glared at Leo.

"Leo, you've ruined my plans time and time again. Do you really think we’re afraid of you?"

"I don't know about that, but today, you are going to die."

His voice void of any emotions or fear. The air felt chilly instantaneously.

"Just you alone?"

Peter started laughing. His eyes flickered with disdain as he said, "Five years ago, you were a piece of useless shit hanging around my sister. And today you’re acting all arrogant? Just because you got to know a couple of people doesn't change the fact that you're still a piece of shit!"

Leo shook his head and looked pitifully at Peter. "Obviously, you know nothing about me."

Peter had no inkling of the impending danger he was in. He continued to look at Leo with resentment. "I had wanted to take care of you but I didn't expect you to come to me. Saving damsel in distress huh? Good acting."

"You are going to die tonight, and Lydia is going nowhere either. The whole building is surrounded by my men, and no one can escape."

He was still trying to infuriate Leo, eager to see anger or fear on his face. To his disappointment, Leo's facial expression was unchanged, he had the same indifferent look.

In addition to the indifference, there was also a tinge of sympathy.

Leo walked to the window, pointed to the closely linked cars not far away, and asked, "You mean those cars?"

"Yeah, our elite guys."

Peter laughed uproariously.

But his voice stopped abruptly like a kite who had just lost the wind current beneath it.

It was as if he had seen something shocking; his mouth was wide opened, and his eyes almost popped out.

A woman, in a black leather suit and pants, appeared near the cars.

She pulled out a something small and black from her pocket and tossed it at the bottom of the chassis.

Then she slowly turned around.

As soon as she walked off, the cars exploded. The fire shot through the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud above the charred vehicles.

The powerful blast bent the surrounding trees at a 90 degrees angle, causing them to sway left and right violently. Nadine's beautiful black hair was also wind-tossed by the impact.

But she was unmoved by the huge explosion. She continued to walk away.

"She, she..."

Staring at the Nadine in horror, Peter was scared out of his wits.

What was that woman holding in her hand?

"A hand grenade?"

Leo stared at him with a furrowed menacing look and then said very slowly, word by word, "So, any more backup?"

Peter's legs gave way and he looked at Leo with eyes full of despair. He was dumbstruck.

His men had been completely wiped out by a woman.

"If you had come at me, you might not have died so quickly. But since you tried to harm her, no one, not even God Himself is going to be able to save you!"

Peter was so scared, he started to shiver; as if he had been thrown into a black hole. He didn't dare to move.

"No, you don’t have the balls to kill me!"

A sudden thought struck him and he started to laugh fearlessly. "No matter how powerful you are, you’re still a member of the Henderson’s. All of you surrendered to my family. If I die, they’ll all die with me! You don't have the heart to go through with it!"

Leo narrowed his eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

"That's right, it’s a threat."

Peter thought that Leo would be afraid and laughed even louder. "Leo, I admit you’re not as trashy as you were five years ago. But still, in Emerdale, if I want you dead, you’ll end up that way!"

"I think you've got one thing wrong..."

Leo sighed, "First of all, if you think you can threaten me using my family members, then you’re very wrong. I don't care too much about them. Secondly..."

Leo paused and said in a mocking tone, "Are you that powerful?"

When he finished his question, he walked towards Peter, grabbed hold of his hair then was about to smash his head into the wall.

"No..."

Peter's eyes were filled with fear. "Jeffrey, save me!"

"What?"

Upon hearing these words, the hand grasping Peter's head paused for a moment.

He could feel that there was another person behind him.

"Young man, forgive him. I advise you to let go of him. Don't ask for trouble."

The figure behind him sneered.

"Who are you?"

Leo slowly turned around, squinted his eyes and looked at the man behind him.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked ordinary with his dark-skin, a nice black suit and matching leather shoes.

Seeing that his savior had arrived, Peter, who just escaped death, gloated. "Leo, you're finished. I hired Jeffrey at a high price. He's a beast. Hurry up and let go of me. Beg me for mercy. If I'm in a good mood, I might even spare your life."

Jeffrey smirked, "Let him go and I won't harm you. Don't force me, or else you'll be carried out on a stretcher."

However, Leo did not let go. Instead, he slowly raised the hand that was grabbing Peter's head.

"Leo, are you stupid? What do you think you are doing...? Don't mess around..."

Peter's face turned pale again when he saw this.

Right in front of Jeffrey, Leo smashed Peter's head into the wall.

In that instant, his entire face became badly mangled by the high impact, his human facial features were no longer recognizable. He fell unconscious in a split second.

Jeffrey's face darkened. He glared at the Leo and asked, "Are you deaf?"

"I told him earlier that even God wouldn't save him today."

"You are courting death."

Leo's eyes stared coldly at Jeffrey. In the next second, his imposing aura filled the space. A stifling murder-tinged air engulfed Jeffrey.

Suddenly, Jeffrey felt his entire body broke out in cold sweat. He staggered and almost fell down the stairs.
