Supreme Mars novel Chapter 318

A stillness as of death hung over the clearing. Those eyes fixed on Leo now moved to the tall, middle-aged man.

Thud, thud, thud!

He strode calmly, and his bright leather shoes gently clicked on the ground. The sound was melodious; however, all the onlookers' heartbeat was beating with it.

The place was chaotic, and Leo had just given his nephew a tremendous humiliation; however, instead of getting angry, he scanned the whole place calmly.

When Marie saw this stalwart middle-aged man, her eyes lit up with a hint of joy.

Elena pouted and turned her head away.

Lydia's pupils shrank, and the expressions on her face turned complicated. She showed a mixed feeling.

There was missing, anger, hatred, and...awe.

In the end, all the feelings settle in peace.

The peace of a dead heart.

"Master?!"

Paul and the others hurried to the middle-aged man and greeted him sincerely.

"Sir... please help me..."

Terry exerted all his strength and squeezed out these words with a pale face.

Master!

Leo was stunned by the word. His eyes became cold, and he looked at the man whose vibe was as vast as an ocean.

There was only one person who Lydia could make Lydia put on that face, and who Paul and Terry would call "Master".

Karl!

Leo narrowed his eyes and looked at this stalwart middle-aged man.

He was in his forties, but he had aged well. His facial features looked gentle, and his skin was smooth. The time he had endured only added a mature and profound touch to him.

He looked like a natural noble person despite the simplest suits he was wearing. The broad shoulders seemed to be able to take up a whole world. He was one of the most mature and inexcitable men Leo had ever seen. Leo had already felt pressure just from his glance.

"Okay."

Karl nodded lightly to Paul and others who had greeted him.

The simple gesture added a solemn atmosphere. People were holding their breath.

Suddenly, Karl's sharp eyes stopped on Leo and Lydia in his hug. A murderous intent crossed his eyes.

Lydia let go of Leo and took a small step forward. She wanted to stand in front of Leo, only to be overtaken by Leo. Leo stood before her and bravely looked at Karl in the eyes.

Nadine was standing aside, blade in her hands. She stared at Karl cautiously.

"Stay back."

Leo groaned.

"But, Young Master..."

"Stay back!"

Leo sounded angry. Nadine hesitated and then left the yard of the Hendersons'.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have hurt anyone here."

Karl looked at Leo and finally spoke.

It was a bit awkward, given the unpleasant way the father- and son-in-law met.

Leo loosened his grip, and Terry fell on the ground loud.

Throughout the process, Leo hadn't taken his eyes away from Karl.

However, Karl didn't care about Leo at all. He was staring at Lydia.

As Karl's eyes became gentle, Leo felt that the pressure on him was gone.

"You're home, finally."

His tone was gentle, and there was a doting smile on his slightly aged face.

Lydia couldn't stand this scorching gaze. She looked away embarrassed and said with a cold face, "Yes, I'm home, but that doesn't mean I've forgiven you."

Karl didn't mind her cold answer at all; on the contrary, the smile on his face grew brighter.
