Supreme Mars novel Chapter 263

Hearing that, everyone around was stunned with eyes wide open.

Especially Nadine, who stared at him with a dumfounded expression.

“My lord, what did you just say? He’s Hunter?”

Obviously, the name of ‘Hunter’ was known to everyone here more or less.

He had been the one behind all kinds of conspiracy. Five years ago, it was he who kidnapped both Leo and Lydia. And it was he again who filmed what Leo had done to her that night.

While Leo happened to hear Bertie mention about the name of ‘Hunter’ recently. But no one knew exactly how he looked like.

In order to confuse Leo and others, a fake one was made—Homer Gibbs, a former warrant officer of Emerdale Military Region.

But now the real ‘Hunter’ finally showed up.

Ted paused for seconds. Then he sneered, “What Hunter? I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“But there’s one thing you get it right. It was I indeed who filmed the video five years ago. And I sent it to Bertie and asked him to keep it safe so as to make it a stepping stone for my next move.”

Leo still remained composed, unspoken. However, Nadine had been filled with murderous look on her face. If it weren’t because Leo hadn’t given out the order, she would have rushed over to attack.

Though Ted didn’t acknowledge being the real ‘Hunter’, Nadine could tell that he must be working for Phantom.

While Marcus still stared at Ted, looking blank with great disbelief, “Ted, what do you mean? You took advantage of my family as a mere part of your plan?”

“You’re right.” Ted no longer covered up his own intention. Then he continued, “I only follow the order of my superior. My plan has started ever since I sent the video to Bertie five years ago. While the Wilson Family is just a pawn of my chess game.”

“What…what do you mean?”

“Still confused?” Ted cast Marcus a cold glimpse. Then his chilling voice sounded, “I faked both my humbleness and loyalty in the old days. In my view, both you and your grandpa are nothing but disgusting cowards.”

What he said struck Marcus like a bolt from the blue. His face went ghastly pale with his eyes frozen.

Even till now he could never believe that the most trustworthy butler of theirs actually killed his grandpa.

“I have been working with Marco for twenty years, while during the beginning fifteen of which I worked as his business partner. And I turned to be the butler five years ago. Do you know why?” asked Ted with a horrible smile while looking at Marcus.

But Marcus only shook his head, looking confused still.

“That’s because Phantom has been keeping an eye on this city long ago. We wanna make it our first stronghold. In order to achieve it, we would have to control the top 1 family in this city. So we made the Wilsons our first target.

So we started our plan with a form of business partnership so as to take control of the Wilsons.”

“The plan went on smoothly. But I did overestimate your grandpa too much. At the very beginning, I had planned to make your family the top 1 in Emerdale in ten years. But I have never expected that the Wilsons still stayed as one of the top 4 only. You really disappoint me so much.”

Marcus still remained silent. But he started trembling more violently.

He once heard about how his family started the business from his grandpa.

They grew the business from internet industry, while the opportunity of which to start was provided by the commercial partner of Marco.

In 1990s, the economy just started to show the signal of being thriving. While internet back then was much less widespread than it was today. But Ted had noticed the potential long ago and he led the Wilsons to reclaim this land before anyone else realized its value. And the business kept going till now.

Actually, if it weren’t because of the efforts of Ted, the Wilsons would still have been a family of nobody.

“You took advantage of my family for all these?” Marcus could never believe that.

“That’s right.” Ted stood still with hands resting behind his back. His face still remained indifferent, “When I was totally disappointed with the Wilsons, something jarring the whole city suddenly happened.”

While saying that, he looked at Leo.
