Supreme Mars novel Chapter 133

With every single attendee holding their breath, none of the members had ever expected that Mr. Commerce would be here himself.

However, only Forrest, Alan and Justin knew that it was not the truth — even Mr. Commerce dared not to disrespect the one they referred to as "boss".

Having tried his best to beg for absolution, Thomas held his breath and closed his eyes, daring not to raise his head. He understood that he would gain Forrest's pardon as well as long as Mr. Commerce forgave him.

However, there was dead silence in the room, and the clock hanging on the wall was counting down to Thomas's destiny.

Neither had the man sitting in front made any sound, nor had he turned to everyone. Suddenly, a sneering sounded, and a low voice then boomed out, "You are asking for my pardon, aren't you?"

Thomas raised his head in a hurry as if hope was shining ahead, and then said in urge, "Yes, I realize my mistake now and sincerely wish for your pardon, Mr. Commerce! I shall move back to the right track from now on!"

"I'm sorry, but you don't deserve any chance!" Imperturbably but forbiddingly, the low voice sounded again, causing Thomas to shiver.

"Ever since you started to persecute the Ford family, you have been destined to end up like this."

With his eyes closed and his back on to everyone, Leo said slowly.

Closing his eyes, he could still remember the image of how William plaintively took the blame for everything and fuddled day by day three years ago.

With anger stuck in his head, his voice of cold hostility sounded again, "It would be nothing difficult for me to sentence your death, Thomas. What baffles me all the time is how to make you deeply regret and to feel the chilling pain. And now, I have finally figured it out."

With his deep tone turned delighted, every single attendee was startled by Leo's nameless oppressive aura.

"You, an unscrupulous careerist, never cease until you have attained what you want. However, I can tell there are still goals and ambition inside you, so I have a better solution for you rather than to just let you die."

With a brief pause, he continued with forceful articulation, "From now on, you shall survive as a nobody, and will accomplish nothing for the rest of your life. Your family will turn their backs on you, your career will become others' stepping stone, and loneliness will be your only company when you get old. You will end up perishing and wasting away, and then there will be someone who erases every single proof of your existence. Finally, you will be completely wiped off from the memories of everyone, and this will be the most cruel punishment for you!"

Looking at each other in speechless despair, no one could explain the derivation of Mr. Commerce's intense hatred of Thomas.

For Thomas, scared and kneeling down on the icy floor, he clutched his head, as if an afraid ostrich with an itch to stick its head into the ground.

Indeed, he was desperately frightened. Every single word of Leo had precisely hit the weakness inside him — he was afraid of being mediocre, of being lonely, and of being all alone even after his death.

How cruel can a man be to erase someone's proof of existence?

As the conference drew to close, Thomas went downstairs in despair, and Leo left the place together with Nadine.

At the gateway, Cedric was still waiting with his face badly battered, casting a spiteful and bitter look at those guards from time to time.

Those faces of the guards, who had struck him with fists, still remained fresh in his memory, and he swore that he should wait until his father came out and then asked him to expel all of them.

Pondering, with a glance, Cedric caught sight of Thomas, who was walking out of the elevator with a dull face. Immediately, he waved to his father dramatically, "Dad, help me! I couldn't believe that these blind nasty guards would dare to assault me!"

Then, he turned to those guards with schadenfreude and clamored, "See, my father is here! I suggest you idiots prepare your resignations as soon as possible!"

However, with a glassy look on his face, Thomas brushed past his son as if he didn't see him at all.

Dumbfounded, Cedric took a half step forwards, caught up with his father and asked, "Dad, why have you just ignored me? I was beaten by these men! I…"

"Fuck away!"

In sudden, the dull look on Thomas's turned hideous, and then Cedric was kicked away brutally.

At a loss, Cedric looked at Thomas with a blank look in his eyes.

"There will be no one I can count on when I get old, nor any accompany beside my deathbed…Haha!"

With a stream of people passing by on the street, Thomas burst into laughter hysterically as if he had gone mad.

As his laughter grew wilder and wilder, people around were all scared, looking at Thomas with disagreeable eyes and cursed, "What a mad!"

"Hey, what did you just say?" Said Thomas with bulged eyes and distorted face, seizing the female passerby by her arm, "Those from the chamber bullied me, and now even you, a conscienceless bitch, dare to bully me too! I shall throttle you to death!"

With that, he then gripped the woman rudely by her throat with strength.

"Jesus Christ! Help me! A mad is assaulting me!" Cried the woman.

In a sudden, the place was filled with panic, screaming and chaotic footsteps.

"God! What are you doing, dad?" Asked Cedric, with his eyes wide open out of shock and bewilderment.

He could hardly believed that the man with hideous face and messy hair was truly his father.

"Die, bitch!" Thomas screamed like a hostile wraith, and continuously gathered strength to his hands.

With her face turned flushed, his trammel became increasingly irresistible and inescapable for the lady, which allured that she was dying because of suffocation.

"We need to do something!" shouted those guards, rushing out of the building and separating the two forcefully.

The woman was rescued. Breathing in as much air as she could, she looked at Thomas with a pale face and screamed, "Mad!"

Then, in a panic, she ran away.

For Thomas, he was now controlled by those guards, looking around fiercely as if he was going to devour anything that he caught sight of.

"What's wrong with you, dad?" Cedric came up in a hurry and asked, but was stopped.

"You dad is now insane and very dangerous. We have to send him to the psychiatric hospital."

"What?" Hearing that, Cedric said in despair, with his face turned pale.

He was then left behind by everyone around. As Thomas was under his control, the captain then decided to call the police.

Three minutes later, the police nearby arrived, and Thomas was handcuffed and taken into the patrol wagon.

What awaited him would be the procedure of moving into the psychiatric hospital.

Leo and Nadine, witnessing such a scene, were also stunned, especially Leo, who had not expected that Thomas would ever fall insane after ups and downs.

However, he soon recovered his equilibrium, since he knew that this was what he deserved.
