Supreme Mars novel Chapter 145

Twenty minutes later, a car pulled over at the gate. Eddie came out and looked at the time. Then he grinned a sinister smile. "It's been a while... they might have finished the 'game'..."

He pushed the door open and laughed joyfully, "Mr. Lawson, how is it?"

However, the room was so quiet that he could hear his own voice echoing.

"Mr. Lawson?"

Eddie was taken back and walked to another room behind this one.

The moment he opened the door, his face changed drastically.

The floor was covered with shards of glass. The curtains were snapping in chilly winds.

The woman on the bed was gone. Peter was lying on the floor, covered with blood and cuts all over his body.

"What happened?"

Eddie's face paled instantly. He rushed to the window and looked out.

It was pitch black, and there was nobody out there.

Eddie didn't know what was going on. He walked to Peter and reached out to feel Peter's breath.

Peter was alive.

Eddie felt such a relief. He shook Peter vigorously and yelled, "Mr. Lawson, please wake up, please!"

However, no matter how hard he tried, Peter didn't respond.

Eddie was frightened. Fear crawled on his back. He wondered who had knocked Peter out and taken Marie away.

The first one that came to his mind was Leo.

But he thought that was impossible after pondering.

Leo didn't know he had hidden Marie here, not to mention that he would save her before he arrived.

Just by then, Eddie glanced and found the camera was still recording.

He walked quickly to the camera and pressed the stop button. He was about to get the clips out and see what had happened.

Bang bang bang...

At the same time, somebody knocked hard at the door.

Eddie frowned and yelled, "I'll talk to you later!"

Peter had already passed out. Now there were only him and the driver in the villa; Eddie naturally thought it was the driver knocking at the door.

Bang bang bang!

It was getting louder and louder as if the man was going to smash the door.

Eddie felt annoyed. He went downstairs quickly and opened the door.

Bang...

However, before he opened the door, a huge force came outside and blew the door off. It hit hard on Eddie and collapsed on him.

"Cough cough..."

The smoke and dust rose, and Eddie couldn't stop coughing. Then he saw a pair of dark leather shoes in front of him.

Eddie trembled. He raised his head with a frozen face, only to see Leo walking to him calmly with a cold face.

Eddie felt a deadly threat and looked horrified, "How... how did you find this place?"

"Thank you for leading the way."

Leo looked down at him and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "I gave the chance to live, but you gave it up... then you shall bear the consequence."

Eddie was almost scared to death. The fear inside him was devouring him.

He knew it clearly that Marie was his bargaining chip to protect himself. Now that she was gone, it meant that he had lost the protection. Leo had dropped all scruples and could kill him any minute.

"No, please don't kill me! You can still use me!"

Eddie got up in a hurry and kneeled on the ground, begging desperately.

"The only reason for me to spare your life was to know where Marie was," Leo said indifferently.

"She's there! In that room!"

Eddie pointed to a room and yelled out.

Leo looked over and then strode to that room.

Eddie ignored his pain, covered his ribs, and tried to run away desperately.

He knew that woman had been gone as soon as he entered the room. He didn't tell Leo about it because he wanted to buy himself some time.

However, his little trick was soon seen through by Leo. Leo saw Peter lying on the floor in a coma, but Marie was nowhere to be found.

Leo's eyes were immediately brimmed with killing intent. He picked up a metal lamp and smashed it on Eddie.

Bang!

It hit right on the back of Eddie's head. His eyes dulled, and he slumped to the ground.

Leo strode over with fierce eyes. He didn't care if Eddie had passed out and smashed his head on the ground.

Bang!

Eddie passed out under severe pain. He felt the whole world was spinning.

However, he trembled again when seeing Leo's indifferent face. He couldn't help recalling how Leo killed all his people in a sec.

"You'll regret if you kill me!" He looked at Leo and yelled in fear.

"You lied to me?"

Leo sounded very serious. He then raised his voice and asked, "Tell me where she is!"

"I don't know..."

Eddie felt his body and soul were trembling in fear simultaneously. He said with a pale face, "My people hid her here. I don't know why she disappeared."

"Do you think I'll buy that?"

Leo said in a cold voice, I'll count to three, and if you still don't tell me about it, I'll snap one joint every minute!"

Eddie was scared out of himself. He knew Leo meant what he said.

However, he had no idea about Marie's whereabouts.

"Time's up."

Leo said coldly as he grabbed one of Eddie's fingers and pulled it backward.

Snap...

One of Eddie's fingers had been snapped by Leo.

"Argh!"

He screamed in pain, and his forehead was leaking sweats.

"Fingers and toes, you've got 19 opportunities left," Leo said calmly.

Eddie was so terrified that he couldn't stop trembling. He racked his brains to figure out all the possible answers, but he failed again and again.

Snap...

Leo snapped one more finger.

"Argh!"

Eddie almost passed out. He was soaked in sweats.

Every minute, Leo snapped one finger as he said.

Ten minutes later, Eddie's ten fingers were all dangling like trunks. Eddie had already passed out in pain.

However, Leo showered no mercy. He was as cold as always.

"Next, we're going to snap other joints of yours."

Leo said indifferently, "Human body has 206 bones. I'll crush yours one by one if you don't tell. Then you'll have to wiggle like a larva in coming days!"

Ringing...

Just by then, Leo's phone rang.

To his surprise, it was Lydia.

His murderous intent was suddenly all gone as he picked up the phone. "Lydia?"

Lydia sounded very thrilled on the other side of the phone. "It's alright. Marie is fine now."

Leo's face changed when he heard that. He asked, "What? She's alright now?"

Lydia sounded curious, too. "I thought you saved him."

Leo was even more surprised. He hadn't even seen Marie yet!

Soon, he realized what had happened when he skimmed over the messy villa. He looked stern.

"Come back now. Marie's fine... that's great!"

Lydia ignored Leo's weird reaction and wept with joy.

After hanging up the phone, Leo walked back to Eddie and said indifferently, "Marie is safe now."

Eddie, who was on the verge of death, woke up and climbed up upon hearing this. He begged, "Now that she's safe, please forgive me!"

The killing intent in Leo's eyes had disappeared, but his face was as cold and indifferent as ever. He asked, "Do you think I'll let you go for nothing after all you've done to me?"

"What do you want then?" Eddie looked terrified.

"I'm not going to kill you."

That answer made Eddie heave a sigh of relief.

However, what Leo said next made Eddie's eyes taken over by horror again.

"Death will be a mercy for you. I want you to live like a worm from now on."

Leo's words were as icy as the final judgment of death.

He lifted his feet and stomped on Eddie's four limps as soon as he said that.

After that, he punched heavily on Eddie's spine.

Crack... crack...

All of Eddie's bones had been broken.

Leo once said that he would break all of Eddie's bone, and he kept his words.

Eddie could only wiggle on the ground like a worm from now on.

Leo didn't leave after that. He went to other rooms in the villa.

He had to figure out who had saved Marie.

He looked around and finally rested his gaze on that camera.

He exported an audio file filmed one hour ago.

At the beginning of the video, Marie's hands and legs were tied. She was struggling on the bed.

Later on, a man climbed onto the bed; however, before he got started, a dagger shot by. Then the scene became chaotic, and there was nothing in it.

At the end of the video, a woman in black leather tights flashed across the screen. She picked Marie up, and they left together.

That picture flashed away instantly, but Leo still recognized who that woman was.

He was stunned, and all other expressions turned into a wry smile.

He knew a woman wearing back leather tights, and that was Nadine.

But obviously, the woman was not Nadine.
