Supreme Mars novel Chapter 79

Jeffrey was intimidated by the imposing aura Leo emitted. He felt like a prey being watched at close distance from a ferocious predator.

On closer look, he was surprised to find that Leo looked calmer than before.

Strangely, he seemed to have returned to his previous serene state. All the imposing stifling air had dissipated.

Though he was still feeling the chill, he started sneering, "Oh, so it's not real after all. You scared me."

"I don't fight ordinary people like you, but since you are looking for it, don't blame me!"

As soon as he stopped talking, Jeffrey readied himself to attack Leo.

However, before he could attack, he felt another powerful aura.

He looked back instinctively and saw a woman in a black leather suit standing in the darkness of the corridor, staring at him coldly.

If Leo's aggressiveness was just a momentary hallucination, then in comparison, this woman was a hurricane; ready to destroy anything and everything in her path.

In a trance, he felt the tenacity and power to destroy an entire army, which instantly shattered the fighting spirit that he had harnessed.

Leo watched them quietly. Although he claimed that he was a warrior, Jeffrey lacked inner strength. Unlike a professional like Nadine, who killed people as though they were flies.

Leo just stood and watched, allowing her to be in her own skin and do as she liked.

If they had stayed away from Lydia, maybe he would have let them off. Moreover, their daughter was also present. So there could be no mercy. Not even God could save them now.

Nadine moved swiftly, almost like a shadow and instantly appeared in front of Jeffrey.

She stretched out her arm, grabbed him by the throat and raised him above her head. Jeffrey didn't even have time or strength to react.

"You..."

Jeffrey's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned pale. In front of Nadine, he was as vulnerable as an infant.

"Those who upset Mr. Cohen have only one thing waiting in their future!"

She said coldly then suddenly exerted force in her palm.

Just as she was about to break his neck, an ear-piercing rang sounded from a phone.

Leo saw that it was Lydia calling and immediately asked Nadine to pause. He was afraid that Lydia would hear the screaming and the noise.

He walked to a quiet spot before answering the call.

"Lydia?"

His voice was gentle, completely different from before.

On the other side of the phone, Lydia was silent but he could hear her slightly hurried breathing.

After a while, he heard her voice.

"Can you... can you come down now? There was an explosion. Emilia keeps crying out for you."

Lydia's tone was slightly stiff. Usually, it would be rare for her to say such needy words under normal circumstances.

He pondered for a second then nodded: "Of course."

After hanging up, he coldly glanced at Jeffrey, "You're lucky. I'll spare your life today. If you help the Lawsons again, I will wipe out you and your men!"

"Let's go."

Jeffrey, who was lucky to escape death, sat feebly on the ground and grasped for fresh air.

When he came to his senses, he was back to his old self, filled with evilness. "Ha, just the two of you? How dare you attack me. You think that my men are cowards..."

Jeffrey knew most of the formidable fighters in Emerdale, but he had never heard of Leo and Nadine, so naturally, he didn't think much of them.

He took out his phone and made a call.

"Ryan, come over, I need your help..."

"Mr. Cohen, why don't we kill him? It won't take long."

Nadine asked, confused.

In her opinion, disposing of him now would be child's play.

Leo shook its head and said seriously, "I know it's easy to kill, but it’s also difficult to deal with a corpse. It will take some time. My wife and daughter can't wait that long."

She nodded her head thoughtfully. She had only focused on the killing.

"However, I won't let him off so easily..."

A cold glint flashed across his eyes. "I want to kill Peter Lawson with the help of his own family."

Hearing that, Nadine flinched but looked enthusiastically at Leo.

Mr. Cohen was finally making a move on the Lawsons!

After parting ways with Nadine, Leo walked towards Lydia's car.

As he got nearer to the car, he could hear Emilia's crying.

"Oh, my baby, it's okay, it's okay, don't cry. Daddy will be here soon." Lydia hugged her daughter, comforting her.

"Daddy! I want Daddy!" Emilia cried loudly. She had yet to recover from the shock.

Lydia was getting slightly anxious. Just then, they heard Leo's voice.

"My Emilia! Baby! Daddy's here!"

Seeing her father, Emilia immediately stopped crying and smiled. She opened her little arms and ran into the arms of the Leo. She hugged him tightly at first, then said with tears of sadness, "What were you doing? You didn't come for so long..."

"Daddy went to teach the bad guys a lesson."

He caressed her head with a smile and said, "I drove away the bad guy who bullied mommy and dear Emilia."

"Really?"

She was pleased. "Daddy, you're so awesome."

Looking at his daughter who is laughing again, he felt better.

"Where's Peter?"

After her daughter calmed down, Lydia looked at Leo with a stern face as she asked.

Leo Cohen shook his head. "Don't worry, he's not dead."

After hearing these words, Lydia descended into silence. She understood what he meant.

He wasn’t dead. But he was grievously injured.

Seeing her silence, he knew what she was thinking. He held her hand lightly and said, "I've already shown him leniency. Of all people, he should not have attacked you."

She was touched. He was willing to go to such lengths for her.

However, she would not easily reveal her true feelings to him. She held the steering wheel tightly and said, "Let's go home."

"Yes, let's get out of here."

He had wanted to play with his daughter, but she had fallen asleep.

While driving, Lydia wanted to say something, but hesitated on second thoughts, "There is a sponsorship event tomorrow evening, are you..."

He smiled and agreed happily, "I can attend it, just to make up the numbers."

"That's great!" Lydia had a slight smile then kept quiet again.

They didn't speak for the rest of the journey home.

Looking at the scenery retreating rapidly on both sides, Leo gradually narrowed his eyes, and a hint of imperceptible viciousness flashed through his eyes.

Few were there to support him when he was down. Most just rubbed salt into his wounds. Since Rebecca and the others had aligned themselves with the Lawsons, then no matter how wealthy he became, they would not receive a single cent from him.
