Supreme Mars novel Chapter 131

Peter, with his head muddled, signed over the transference of the company's right, which stood for that the whole Vesper Corporation would be sale.

The agreement was signed, and Peter was still held by the stunning, long lasting shock over the mightiness that Nadine manifested.

Painstakingly, he scratched his head and racked his mind, but his puzzlement about the background of Nadine, who possessed not only golden card but also S&B VIP black-card, still remained obscure.

‘Why such an influential woman would ever demean herself to become a bodyguard sticking up for a good-for-nothing?' He couldn't help but wonder.

His eyes were filled with absence, and his mind was in a spin that he couldn't even figure out whom himself was.

Looking at Peter with increasingly disdainful eyes, Nadine could understand what Peter was thinking with merely a simple glance.

‘He definitely believed that I owned these two cards.' Nadine thought to herself.

In fact, she was not the owner of these treasures — they were the possessions of Leon.

For golden card, it was something that Commerce offered Leon, while for S&B VIP black-card, it was a special gratitude from the queen of S&B Club.

There would be a long story to tell explaining the origin of the two things, and it could never be exaggerated to say that they were unasked love tokens presented by Leon.

However, as Leon retired from the army and headed back to his country, they then became less in contact with each other.

Leo picked up the contract and casted a glance at Peter, "It seems that you've left something behind."

Peter, as wrathful as a furious ox, howled, "I've already given you back Vesper Corporation! What else do you want from me?"

"I want Virgil Corporation." Said Leo, "You have bought Virgil Corporation in the name of Vesper Corporation, and that means Virgil Corporation has already become a subsidiary. Now, since I have bought the whole Vesper Corporation, it would be natural enough for me to have Virgil Corporation as well, according to the clauses."

"Damn you!" Said Peter, with his pupils dilated and breath unsteady.

It was not until now that he realized the cause of everything — it was Leo's revenge.

Buying the whole Vesper Corporation, Leo was having his revenge over Peter's hostile bid for Virgil Corporation, in order to make him taste his own medicine.

No matter how reluctant Peter was, he had no choice but to transfer the ownership of Virgil Corporation to Leo.

Things would be much better if only he had bought the company in his own name. Unfortunately, now, he had to face the fact that he had lost both Virgil Corporation and Vesper Corporation.

Things were all settled a while later. "I bet that your cousin would be ‘glad' if she heard of your deeds." Said Leo relentlessly, who then turned his back on Peter and left.

Inside the elevator, Leo asked in a plain tone, "We have won Vesper Corporation back now. How about Julton Pharmaceutical?"

Nadine smiled, "There is no need to be worried, Leon. Forrest is convening his members and planning to crack down on Thomas. He shall never escape from it."

With a pause, Nadine continued, "Today will be the end of Julton Pharmaceutical!"

"Ah, a membership conference. Well," After a pause of a few seconds, Leo offered a thin smile and continued, "let's go and take a look at it."

"Yes, sir!"

……

Ten minutes later, Nadine drove to the underground parking lots of DS Building, and came to the gateway along with Leo.

At the next moment, a commercial black Benz parked in front of the two, and, with a cracking sound of car door, a man in suit and tie got out, heading to the gateway in haste.

He was Cedric, the son of Thomas.

With his eyes narrowed, Leo laughed, "Well, it seems that the boy moves quicker than his daddy."

Indifferently, Nadine said, "Indeed, he is the son of Thomas, but that's all. DS Building is not accessible to every privileged."

She was right. It was the moment when Cedric was about to get in the building that a barrel-chested guard came up and stopped him, looking at him with cool eyes, "You, stop. What brings you here?"

The guard standing in his way had obviously irritated Cedric, "My dad is the intermediate member of Kingston Chamber of Commerce! Who do you think you are to stop me?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that you're still not allowed to pass, no matter your relatives have the membership or not." Answer the guard with a frosty face, "You're standing in front of the branch of Kingston Chamber of Commerce in Emerdale, and only members and customers are allowed to get inside."

Naturally, the customers he mentioned referred to those magnates in all walks of life, among which Cedric, a dandy, failed to stand.

The situation had clearly gotten this young man into a flap. He explained in haste, "I said I was Thomas's son! And I'm here looking for him for emergency!"

He had seen those news reports news reports about the truth of 316 Event online. There was a sea of journalists around the headquarters of Julton Pharmaceutical, and Cedric was here asking for help and solution from his dad.

"Alright, but you need Mr. Thomas to get down and take you in." Said the guard.

The guard just kept rejecting to let him pass no matter what.

Without any choice, Cedric took out his phone and dialled the number of his father. However, the only answer he got was that his father's phone was power off.

Every member of Kingston Chamber of Commerce was obliged to turn off their mobile phones amid the membership meeting.

An awkward look spread on Cedric's face. He then said to the guard hastily, "listen, my dad is up there attending a crucial meeting, and he can't answer my call at the moment! Please, just let me in…"

The guard sneered, "Save it, boy. Why should I believe that a young man failing to put Thomas through is exactly his son? I've had enough with such excuses."

"God damn it! I swear I'm Thomas's son!" Cedric burst into rage and shouted.

Having seen everything in their eyes, Leo and Nadine shook their heads and brushed past Cedric.

"Leo? Why the hell are you here, you piece of shit?" yelled Cedric, with his eyes wide open out of amazement.

In Cedric's mind, even himself, the son of Thomas, was not allowed to get in the building, let alone Leo, a pathetic good-for-nothing from a humble family.

"Mr. Cohen!" Said the guard, bending down at an angle of 90 degrees and hastily calling his colleagues around together.

Within a minute, more than twenty well-trained and skilled guards lined up in two, offering Leo stentorian greeting with esteem, "Greetings, Mr. Cohen!"

When Leo visited DS Building in the first place, things were even more shocking — he was welcomed by a list of notabilities themselves, among whom included Forrest, the chairman of the chamber, Alan, the richest man of Emerdale, and Justin, one of the chamber's members.

Although these guards didn't have a clear image of Leo's exact identity, they did perceive that he was definitely among those who were extremely powerful and influential.

Such a scene knocked Cedric for a loop.

‘What did they just call him? Mister?' wondered Cedric, who felt as if the whole world was turned upside down.

A few seconds later, a livid expression spread on Cedric's face out of the disgrace seeing the guards' partiality to Leo.

"You blind men! Who do you think I am? I'm the son of Thomas, but you guys just don't let me in! While he? He's just a poor guy from the Ford family, but you guys just called him mister? What's wrong with you all?" Shouted Cedric.

"Shut the fuck up!" Shouted the captain of those guards in a cold tone, looking at Cedric with hostile eyes.

"Dare you say that again, I swear I will blow your teeth off!" The guard Continued.

With so many guards around looking at him with chilly eyes, Cedric couldn't help but shudder out of fear.

Suddenly, as something seemed to dawn on him, he yelled, "Now I understand everything! You guys must be bribed, and I shall tell my father everything and kick you all out of the company!"

It was not until his voice faded that the captain strode forwards to his front and slapped him heavily on his face, which generated a resounding snap.

For those who were qualified to be the guards of Kingston Chamber of Commerce, even the worst of them would be at least an retired military personnel.

With such a powerful strike on his face, a few drops of blood spattered out of his mouth and two of Cedric's teeth were blown off to the ground.

Then, the guard walked towards the front of Leo, made a deep bow to him and said, "Sorry for this mess, Mr. Cohen. Please, just leave him to us, and we will take care of him."

Leo offered an indifferent nod, and pushed the elevator button.

"Now, guys, beat him!" Said the captain.

"Stop! What do you think you fools are doing? I'm the son of Thomas! Wait, wait… Ahhhh!" Cedric yelled.

Soon, as kicks and punches fell onto his body relentlessly, the gateway was filled with screaming and howling of this young poor man.

Even so, he still raised his bloody nose and swollen face up to Leo and shouted with resentful expression on his face, "You're doomed, Leo! My father Thomas won't go easy on you for that! Just wait and see what comes to you after the conference!"

From the beginning to the end, Leo had never turned back and casted a single look at him.

There was an old saying that poor ones had their own sins. What temporarily remained unknown to Cedric was that the man he had always been relying on would face his downfall after the conference.
