Supreme Mars novel Chapter 141

At Valendale Villa.

This was Leo's temporary residence after Lydia and Emilia left.

Soaked in sweats, Leo just finished his morning exercises. He was going to take a morning shower when his phone suddenly buzzed.

It was a video call from Lydia.

Leo stopped showering and hurriedly took the video.

Leo was absent during these days, so Lydia would make video calls to him every day.

Leo knew it wasn't Lydia that was missing him. It was Emilia.

Mostly, it was Leo and Emilia that were interacting during the call. Lydia would be aside, looking guilty.

"Dad!"

As soon as they were connected, Leo could hear Emilia's excited and clear voice.

She was still in a pink cartoon PJ because she just got up, which looked so cute.

"I'm here!" Leo quickly replied, eyes turning soft.

Emilia was like an angel. Leo felt as if his heart was melting like sweets.

"Dad, when are you coming back? I miss you so much..."

Emilia asked with a baby voice as she opened her innocent eyes.

Leo's heart twitched and ached harshly like stabbing when he heard that question.

Extreme rage was surging deep inside him.

Weren't it for the threats of loyal families in Country YD, Lydia wouldn't have ended up so miserable.

Leo had no fear. He had made it through the last five years missing Lydia, so he didn't feel pressed for time at all.

He was worried about Emilia.

Lydia was standing aside, biting her lips in silence. She felt more than guilty.

"It's okay; it's not your fault."

Leo looked at her and asked gently.

After a pause, he said to Emilia, "Good girl, Dad will be home soon."

"How long will it take?"

They fell in silence again.

Emilia was innocent and pure, but she could easily bring out what touched Leo and Lydia the most.

"Half a month!" Lydia uttered.

Leo looked at her in shock.

Emilia laughed in joy, "Okay, be sure to come back in half a month, Dad!"

"Okay..."

Leo answered in a daze and looked at Lydia in surprise.

"Go wash your face."

"Okay!"

Emilia answered sweetly. Then she waved to Leo and said, "Bye, Dad!"

Lydia sent Lydia away and looked at Leo. Her eyes seemed decisive now. "Come back if loyal families in Country YD doesn't send anyone to us within half a month."

"What if they do?"

Lydia fell in silence again. It had taken her a long while before she raised her head and looked at Leo.

"Then you will keep us safe, right?" Lydia asked softly.

Leo's body shook and answered, "Of course! No one can lay a hand on you as long as I am with you!"

"OK."

Lydia looked at him with a complex expression in her eyes. Then she hung up the phone.

Leo was still holding his cellphone. He dialed another number with a serious face.

"Young Master."

Nadine sounded very respectful.

"Tell the Ten Soldiers to rally an army of 100,000. Put them outside Emerdale in place, ready to respond if needed."

Leo sounded grim. "Tell them to retreat if nothing happened to Lydia and Emilia, and should anything happen to them..."

"The army shall march south and destroy loyal families in Country YD!"

Boom...

Nadine was shocked and trembled in fear as soon as she heard the command. She could feel Leo's overwhelming killing intent by the phone.

"Aye."

Leo's eye expressions were complex. Hands behind his back, he dropped the phone and let coldness take over his eyes.

"Loyal families in Country YD... I dare you to come, and I wouldn't mind killing you all..."

After that, Leo went to the International Commerce Center. The business of Vesper Corporation was taking off under William's management. They had made plenty of big deals.

"Leo..."

A clear and familiar voice came from Leo's behind.

Leo looked back and saw Marie standing in front of the International Commerce Center, smiling and greeting him.

"Marie? What are you doing here?"

Leo was surprised. Then he smiled and strode over.

"I'm an intern here now."

Marie smiled as she talked. Leo then noticed that she was in suits.

He suddenly felt a bit confused. Marie and Lydia looked alike, and he used to distinguish them by temperament and clothing.

Marie was young and energetic, so her clothes varied in style; however, Lydia always wore suits, making her look more serious.

Now that Marie was in suits, too, she looked exactly the same as Lydia. The two were like two peas in one pod.

Leo nodded and asked, "How did you choose this place?"

Marie pouted dissatisfiedly and complained, "I'm a medical student, and I was supposed to be an intern in a hospital, but my school assigned me to a plastic surgery hospital. It's near the International Commerce Center. That's the opposite of what I was expecting for."

"But it's nice to have you nearby. So I come by to check."

Marie laughed happily as she talked.

"I see."

Leo grinned a smile. "You greeted me first instead of Lydia. Aren't you afraid that she'll get upset?"

"She's busy."

Marie pouted and continued, "And she'll lecture me as soon as she knows I'm doing my internship. So why bother?"

"Argh... stop talking! I'm going to be late!"

Marie left in a hurry as soon as she looked at the time. As she ran, she turned back and yelled, "Buy me dinner after work, please!"

"She's really..."

Seeing Marie hurrying away, Leo shook his head helplessly.

However, no one noticed that at the street entrance nearby, four eyes were fixed on Leo and Marie, moving as they moved.

One of them took out a picture and checked it carefully.

The person in the photo was Lydia!

He touched his jaw and asked with a weird expression, "Is that her?"

"Of course."

A man with dark skin smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

"Why am I sniffing a slight difference?"

The leading man's expression still looked weird. "The woman in this picture looked tougher; this one's vibe is way weaker than her."

"They told us that the woman and the man are supposed to be in a relationship. No woman would pull a long face in front of her boyfriend." A short man said. He was proud of himself for being so thoughtful.

The leading man dropped his suspicion when he heard that. He said, "Let's move then."

During the rush hour in the evening…

Marie just finished his work and walked to International Commerce Center.

However, halfway through, her mouth was suddenly covered by four people popping out from nowhere. They dragged her into the bushes by the walk.

"Mmph..."

Marie's pupils shrank, and she struggled so hard that she kicked off her high heels.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to break off from four men. Soon, she had been restrained and dragged into the bush.

She panicked out and gritted her teeth. Then she bit on a man's waist.

Blood gushed out.

"Argh..."

The man immediately screamed in pain.

Marie gasped for fresh air. Her face was pale, eyes looking at the four men in horror.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

"You crazy b*tch... wanna play tough, huh? I'm going to kill you!"

He said as he sucked the blood gushing out of the wound. Then he walked to Marie, raised his hand, and was about to slap her.

The short guy stopped him and said, "Did you forget what our boss told us? He wants her alive, and with no wounds!"

The man put his hand down and spit on the ground. "You're lucky today, but we'll see. When boss gets tired of you, it will be our turn."

"Help...Help!"

Marie finally realized what was happening. She turned around and ran towards the International Commerce Center.

As she ran, she took out her phone and dialed Lydia.

However, she had only taken a few steps before catching up again.

"Calling the police?"

A fat guy took a sack and put it on Marie's head.

Marie immediately lost her sight. Her phone dropped off her hand and fell into the bush.

"Take her away! Hurry up!"

The four men put her in a sack and threw her into a van.
