Supreme Mars novel Chapter 139

The night screen had hung down, and the street was lit by the street lights.

Leo stood by the road together with Lydia, who was holding Emilia’s hand.

With the traffic light turned red and cars passing by, the two were separated by the road, looking at each other in distance.

For Leo, he saw the color of flickering crimson shinning in Lydia’s eyes, and for Lydia, she was moved by his pitch-back eyes of tranquility and firmness.

As time went by, the red light turned green, and Leo strode towards his wife and daughter at a steady pace.

In a blink, he soon crossed the road and came to the front of Lydia.

With his head down, he looked at the complicated look on her wife’s delicate face — her eyes were bloodshot, and her cheeks were streaked by tears.

Slowly, Leo raised his hand, and wiped off the tears on her face gently.

“What did he say?” With her head up, Lydia looked at Leo seriously and asked.

“He said we were welcomed to pay a visit to Valenham.” Leo smiled.

Staring at Leo with a serious expression on her face, she said, “This is my family. They don’t allow me to marry you, and disdain the existence of our daughter. You will die at the end if you marry me.”

Leo shook his head, and said tenderly, “I’m not afraid of them.”

Marie didn’t tell him everything at that time — he had never expected that Lydia was one of the members of loyal families in Country YD, and that they would ever disdain the existence of a five-year-old little girl.

“But I’m afraid of them.” As a stream of tears shed from her eyes, she covered her face and cried out to Leo hysterically, “Do you have any idea about how terrified I was when I knew I was pregnant? I was scared not because I was not financially strong enough to raise her up, but because I feared that my family would know about that! They would cut her throat and kill her without mercy! Oh, god ... ”

Knowing nothing about what happened, Emilia burst into tears as well when she saw her mom was crying in pain.

“I’m here, Mammy! Please don’t cry!” Embracing her mom’s thigh, Emilia cried out loudly.

Lydia held her daughter in her arms closely, and said with grievance to Leo, “For five years, I have been taking our daughter from place to place to keep her away from my family. I have lost you once, and I don’t want to lose my daughter too!”

Looking at the crying face of Lydia, Leo fell silent for a long while.

Those passersby were all looking at the three with strange eyes.

Suddenly, Leo straightened his back and said firmly, “In the name of the commander, I shall never let anyone hurt my wife and my daughter anymore! No one shall ever split us up again, and if there is anyone who dare to do so, I will make him pay no matter what!”

However, Lydia still shook her head and sobbed, “You still have no ideas about who you are fighting against …”

Although she, as the CEO of L group, was believed to be worth billions of dollars, she could only be counted as a nobody in the face of loyal families in Country YD.

As for her family, it would be only a matter of time for them to devastate L group. The reason why they didn’t chose to do so was merely because she was the daughter of that man.

However, if the man lost his patience as well, everything would then be over.

Now, they had already located where Leo was, and if she was not going to divorce Leo, they would definitely resort to action.

The call from Terry was exactly their sign.

“Listen, Leo, could you please leave us for a period of time?” Looking at Leo with red eyes, Lydia asked in pain.

With his pupils constricted, Leo could feel that her words were drilling into his heart and making him hurt.

“Don’t be worry, I’m not divorcing you. We need to keep away from each other temporarily to get over this hard time, only by which we can protect our daughter Emilia!”

Although anger was bubbling over inside of him, he soon calmed himself down when he saw the tearing face of Lydia.

He took a deep breath, and then offered a thin smile, “OK, I understand.”

No sooner had he finished his words than he turned around and left with his back straightened — he was a man of indomitable spirit.

“Daddy? Where are you going? Daddy?” Looking at the back of her father, Emilia was conspicuously fazed, and became even more tearful.

Lydia stopped her from chasing after Leo by holding her in arms close with strength.

“Daddy, I want Daddy! You drove daddy away, Mammy! I hate you!” Tearing, Emilia was trying her best to struggle out of Lydia’s embrace to catch up with his dad.

“I’m sorry, Emilia. I’m sorry…” Lydia muttered with a quivering voice, scooping Emilia up and getting into her car.

Walking a few steps, Leo couldn’t help himself and looked backwards, finding that Lydia and Emilia had already gone.

Sighing, he then picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Nadine.”

“My lord.”

Stunned, Nadine could tell from the tone of her master that something was not right.

With a resolute expression on his face, Leo said, “I want all the information about the Hendersons, one of the loyal families in Country YD!”

“Yes, sir.” Without asking extra questions, Nadine kept that the name in mind. However, she didn’t hang up the call.

“What’s wrong, Nadine?”

With a pause of hesitation, Nadine said, “Something about the downfall of the Reyes family was not right, my lord.”

Without any response, Leo awaited the further report from Nadine.

“My lord, Thomas has two sons. One is Cedric, while the other one, whose name was Eddie, has been concealing himself from the beginning to the end. I have looked it up, and found something really astonishing — he is a schizophrenic, and he will become quite abnormal especially when it comes to, well, women.”

“What do you mean by that?” Leo asked with a deep voice.

Nadine then continued, “He have no sexual impulse towards women. However, he is fond of collecting women.”

“Wait. Did you just say that he liked collecting women?” Leo knitted his brows and said.

“Yes,” Nadine continued, “he like collecting woman’s body parts. Miss. Henderson has once been his target, so has Kate from the Lawson family. However, as for the latter, he was misunderstood as one of her huge fans, and was taught a lesson by those Lawson guards.”

With a pause, she said again, “What’s more, he ‘s a man bloodthirsty by nature, and the most dangerous patient of the Third Mental Hospital of Emerdale!”

Without putting too much attention on that, Leo merely said, “We shall put aside things about Eddie for the moment. Let’s faces on loyal families in Country YD first.”

“I understand, my lord.”

Hanging off the call, Leo looked straight ahead with a chilling look in his eyes.

“Stay away from my daughter and my wife, loyal families in Country YD. Otherwise, I shall make each of you pay for that!”

……

As night fell, Thomas turned off the lights, and was about to sleep.

At this moment, a knocking outside the door sounded. 

As he opened the door, he was stunned to see that a handsome man was looking at him with a smiling face.

“Eddie?” With his eyes wide open, Thomas shouted, “How can you be able to get out of your ward.”

Eddie offered a laugh and said, “Well, here in this place, I have a special identity, you know, in my identity. I can go anywhere if I want.”

It was the moment when he was about to make further inquiry, Eddie went out again and headed to the empty playground of darkness. With a pause of hesitation, Thomas still decided to follow.

Currently, there were least guards patrolling out there.

Eddie looked at the sky and laughed, “I’m glad to have you here to be with me, father.”

With his face twisted out of tension, Thomas thought to himself that he was forced to be here accompanying this mad.

Suddenly, Eddie turned around and smiled at his father gently, “Father, I’m wondering why you were sent here. Could you please tell me?”

With a pause of silence, Thomas said, “My whole life was ruin.”

“I have seen the news report. I know everything about 316 Event, and I know what happens to the HT Pharmaceutical Group(HTPG).” Said Eddie, who was still laughing, in which there was a sense of pity and mockery. Then, he continued, “I have already told you that only I deserve to be your son, and that only I can help you get what you want. However, you chose to stand with Cedric, an immature childish boy.”

“Shut up!”

Irritated, Thomas shouted with his eyes wide open, “You are nothing more than a mad! Aren’t you hiding in this place shunning from Kate?”

“Well, Kate…” As their topic came to Kate, Eddie was heartened with aspiration and said, “Indeed, she is quite a strange woman. But it shall never become the reason why you send me into the bedlam.”

Suddenly, Eddie turned around and stared at Thomas, “You shall never forget that you were the one who made me insane! You killed mother, and I came across to see everything! That’s why you always want to perish!’

With a pause, he then continued, “I saw it clear. I saw you smiling when you killed mom, wasn’t you? You’re enjoying it! However, soon, I’ve figured out something more enjoyable than killing, which is — collecting! Even now, one of mother’s figures is still missing, and I can tell you where it is — I’m having that!”

Hearing that, Eddie stared at him dumbfounded, “It’s you! You crazy mad…”

With a smile on his face, Eddie spread his arms and held his father in his embrace, “Thank you, my dear father.”

Gently and sincerely, every single movement of his seemed to manifest the great affection between him and his father.

As for Thomas, his head was nervelessly nestling on the shoulder of Eddie, and his pupils began to dilate.

Slowly, blood shed from the corner of his mouth — he was dead.

When Eddie held his father in his embrace, with his hand gloved, he pushed a knife into that of Thomas, clutching his father’s hand to stick the knife into the heart of his father.

As his hand drilled over and over again, he said, “Rest in peace, father.”

Staring at the dead body of his father, whose eyes still opened wild, Eddie whispered, “Every sacrifice must have its own meaning, father. The Reyes family still have chances to rise again, and I shall take revenge on Leo for you. Also, her wife will be one of my collection!”

As his voice faded, he melted into the darkness.

Shortly after, the dead body of Thomas was found by the medical staff on duty.

The silence of the night was broken by a strident scream.

The whole bedlam was then filled with the wailing of police siren and the footsteps of different people. When the police arrived, the dead body of Thomas had already turned cold.

Subsequently, another breaking news heated the whole bedlam — Eddie had disappeared.
