Supreme Mars novel Chapter 173

Listening to Tang Chao's words, Roman's pupils shrank, and Barnaby was even more frightened than before.

He had never expected that the last thing that Leo wanted was his death.

Only Nadine kept a calm face, since it was not at all surprising for her that Leo would ever make such a request.

She knew that for Leo, the less people knew the relationship between him and Lydia, the better it would be.

However, for Barnaby, who had heard of this thing from the young master of the Stewart, not only did he use this matter as a topic to chat about more than once, but he also insulted Lydia frivolously and ignominiously. He really deserved to die for his sins!

However, such a nonentity did not deserve to be killed by Leo himself. Thus, Roman had naturally become the one who was responsible for doing that.

The air was cold and filled with hostility at the moment. When Roman brought himself back to reality, he offered an awkward laugh and smiled, “Mr. Cohen, there must be another way out. How about we….”

“If your answer is no, then you should be ready for the devastation of your family.”

At the same time, the faces of Roman and Barnaby turned pale.

“Please, Mr. Cohen……”

It was at the moment when Roman was about to implore for his mercy, Leo stared at him with cold eyes and said, “I shall see you kill him in one minute. If you can’t, then all people here shall die!”

“Pleases, help me! I don’t want to die, grandpa!”

With frightened eyes, Barnaby quickly crawled to Roman's feet and grabbed his sleeve with desperation.

However, surprisingly, Roman said nothing in response. As the look on his grandpa’s face turned gloomy, Barnaby was dumbfounded and looked at Roman with confusion, “Grandpa?”

“You still have thirty seconds.” Looking at his watch, Leo reminded.

“Grandpa, please, don’t listen to him! He don’t have the guts to kill me!” Frightened, Barnaby held Roman’s hands and shuddered in fear.

Suddenly, Roman heaved a sigh and looked at Barnaby with a helpless expression on his face.

Looking into his grandpa’s eyes, Barnaby was seemingly aware of something, and turned frozen.

“I have told you that you should beware of your tongue and remain silent as much as you can. While you never listen to my words.” He looked at Barnaby, and then continued, “You think that our family is already strong enough, and thus you become increasingly unscrupulous and reckless. However, you never know that our family can never be counted as strong enough, not even here in Emerdale, where there still exists people who can wipe out our whole family as easily as a pocket in a shirt.”

“Please, stop it, grandpa. I need your help…”

“Our family could originally stay safe and sound if you could watch your tongue and make no trouble. Now, you put all of us at risk.” Said Roman, as if he was deaf to Barnaby’s words.

The look on his face was quite benign and grandfatherly, which Barnaby had once seen in his childhood.

“Only ten seconds left.” Leo lowered his arms and walked towards Barnaby. If ever, Roman failed to do so, he would destroy the whole Brown family himself.

“I still remember the time when you and Raymond were still young and playing around together lightheartedly. Do you think that Raymond would ever feel lonely up there in heaven?”

As he said so, Roman’s eyes began to turn red, and his voice began to choke with sobs.

At the next moment, he held a pistol in his hand, raised it and targeted at Barnaby’s head.

“What are you doing, Grandpa? Stop it!” Seeing that, Barnaby was extremely terrified and began to uncontrollably step backwards.

“Please, you don’t have to do this, Mr. Nicholson!” The other men of the Brown came up in haste and tried to persuade him.

However, in a sudden, Roman turned to them with wrath, “Stay away from me!”

Everyone was frightened by him, and they had no choice but to fearfully look at the savage look on his face.

“There are already three generations in the Nicholsons, and I shall never allow my family to ruin in my hands! Otherwise, I will be ashamed to go to our ancestors!”

“Please, I’m your grandson!” Barnaby looked at Roman with disbelief. He had never expected that his grandpa would ever make up his mind to kill him for the whole Browns.

“Five, four, three…” Leo began to count down.

Roman looked at Barnaby, and said, “I’m sorry, but you have to die for the family, my kid.”
