No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 6

"My...daughter..."

"I... I have a daughter?"

Leo's face stiffened all of a sudden and he finally was able to come out with these words, his lips quivering.

His eyes were mixed with joy, anticipation, and also confusion.

In next to no time, these feelings swung towards pure guilt.

In the past five years, he had risked his life for his country and his men.

The only person he was sorry for was Lydia.

Two completely random people became intertwined by fate.

That night, Leo was delirious and Lydia became his one and only salvation.

That night, the most amazing thing happened.

It was their first time, painful yet also extremely pleasant.

It wasn't until five years later that Leo learned that Lydia was pregnant with his child after that night.

The look in Leo's eyes turned solemn.

The past is the past.

I can't pay back what I owe you, but... I'll promise you peace and happiness for the rest of your life!

Leo smiled slightly and asked, "She works at the International Commerce Center, right?"

"Yes, sir," Nadine replied.

She looked at Leo through the rear-view mirror and noticed that Leo seemed different.

"I want you to purchase that building," he ordered.

"Okay," Nadine answered without hesitation.

She then dialed a number and passed on this order to her people right away.

If anyone heard their conversation, their eyeballs would pop out in shock for sure.

The International Commerce Center, aka Emerdale Tower, was 100 floors high and was seen as the most prestigious workplace for elites in Emerdale.

People were proud to work there, not just because of the competitive salaries, but also due to the symbol of high status it represented.

As long as you could enter this elite circle, you were on the threshold of the power loop of Emerdale's business world, which would bring about immeasurable commercial value.

One might wonder, "How could they blurt out such a purchase so casually?"

But those who knew Leo well knew that he did not lack for money.

Quite the opposite, his funds were terrifyingly ample.

Money was just a number to him.

Seconds later, Nadine's phone rang.

She responded faintly before hanging up, then turned around and reported respectfully, "Sir, the deal is done. The building is now yours."

"Also, Justin Cox - the seller asked if you may have time to attend a handover ceremony."

"I don't have time for that," Leo interrupted Nadine.

He then continued, "Ask him to manage the building for another month. We’ll deal with it later."

"Okay," Nadine replied with a nod and remained quiet afterward.

After Caroline sent Leo away, she returned to her room and sat on the sofa blankly.

Rebecca, Patricia, Samuel, and the others were sitting around William who was still unconscious, looking distressed.

It was almost the end of the world for The Ford family to lose their pillar, William.

"We'd better prepare for the funeral first," Samuel stood up and said sadly.

Everyone froze for a moment, but staring at William's serene face, none said anything in the end.
