No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 3

Leo went up to the master bedroom on the second floor, where a middle-aged man with greying temples and weak breath lay bedridden. His name was William Ford.

William's eyes were closed as he breathed uneasily.

Murderous rage flashed in Leo's eyes.

His father had been very healthy five years ago, but now, he had become like this...

He sat down beside William's bed to feel his pulse.

But before he could do anything, Caroline came in and pulled him away. "What are you doing? Do you think you're a doctor all of sudden?"

"I've learned some medical tricks in the past few years," Leo replied, smiling.

"Are you trying to kill my dad?"

Unexpectedly, Leo's reply made Caroline raise her voice by an octave. "You can't act like a doctor just because you have some basic medical knowledge. Do you even have a medical license?"

"Caroline, leave him. He's just putting on a show anyway." Raymond hurried over and pulled his girlfriend over to comfort her.

"But..." Caroline was still worried.

Taking advantage of their distraction, Leo examined William's pulse.

He let go of William's hand after thirty seconds and took out a box of silver needles.

"What? Are you trying to cure my dad with needles? You must be kidding me!"

Caroline grew furious at the sight of the needles. Even the most experienced specialists in Emerdale could not save her father. How could a few silver needles bring him back from the brink of death?

"Caroline, he might be your dad, but he's mine too. Why would I hurt him?" Leo forced a wry smile.

Caroline scoffed. "Who knows what's on your mind..."

Leo ignored her and pierced three silver needles into the acupuncture points on William's body, including the anterior midline of his lower abdomen, the center of his neck, and the midline of his abdomen.

He was so quick at the acupuncture process that there was no pause throughout the process.

It went so smoothly that it was oddly mesmerising to watch.

"Hmph. Drop your act. Do you really think you're a miracle worker?"

"What good is this kind of treatment? Instead of saving him, you could be harming him instead!"

Despite Leo's clear expertise, his relatives looked disdainful and Raymond was also sneering in the corner.

More and more silver needles were placed on William's body as time passed, and Leo's expression became more and more focused.

However, at a time when Leo's need for focus was most necessary, a loud noise came from outside the villa.

A Land Rover had crashed into the gates of the villa and stopped in the yard.

A group of men in black stormed out of the car, rushed inside the villa, and began smashing the furniture inside.

In the blink of an eye, all the furniture was smashed into pieces, and glass debris was all over the floor.

"Ahhhh!"

The women screamed in horror, and Leo was forced to stop the acupuncture process. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Leo Cohen, how dare you!"

A man's arrogant laughter came from outside the door. "I can't believe you have the nerve to come back to Emerdale when you know that my sister is still looking for you."

Then, a blond man entered with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Chris Lawson?"

Caroline and the rest of her family turned pale at the sight of the blond man.

The Lawsons' acquirement of the Vesper Corporation meant that the final corporation under the Fords' had changed hands. The Fords now had to rely on a handful of small businesses to make ends meet. Seeing a member of the Lawson family in their midst made them feel like a mouse in front of a cat.

Leo was the only one who reacted indifferently. He stood up and looked at Chris dully. "To think that you would come to me before I come for your family," he said coldly.
