Supreme Mars novel Chapter 368

As soon as Ernie said that, all the other people were shocked.
Brooke was the most shocked one. He couldn't believe his patriarch just slapped him, but one side of his cheeks hurt like burning.
However, the most shocking thing for him was that Leo had saved his cousin's life!
"How is that possible?”
After being sluggish for quite a while, Brooke reacted and roared with his finger pointing at Leo, "I think there may be a mistake. Leo is not from
Hopkins Metropolis, and Alina has been staying at home because of her illness. How is it possible that he happened to have saved Alina?"
Ernie continued sneering, "I met this young man in person. How can that be fake?"
At that moment, Ernie looked quite domineering.
He had definitely shown his vibe as the head of the Palmer family. His face and his temperament made Brooke terrified.
The most incredible thing for him was that his patriarch met Leo in person. He still couldn't believe it.
There were many powerful young men in Hopkins Metropolis. They all struggled to meet Ernie, but neither of them had made it. Leo was just a
nobody. Brooke couldn't imagine how Leo got Ernie to meet him in person.
As for Leo, he finally understood the full picture of what was going on.
The middle-aged man before him was the one who wanted to give him money. Leo was also surprised that he was the patriarch of the Palmer family.
In fact, at that time, Leo could've had all the problems solved by giving them his name.
However, Leo wasn't used to telling strangers who he was.
"Sir...
Brooke looked quite embarrassed. Just when he was about to say something, Ernie suddenly yelled, "Shut up.”
Brooke felt as if his heart had lost a beat. He didn't dare speak and could only look at Ernie in horror.
The situation of the Palmer family was different from other families headed by the older generation. Their former patriarch died young, so Ernie took
over the position when he was forty. He had taken the Palmer family to the next level, which could prove how slick he was.
The only lucky thing for Brooke was that his grandpa's heart disease gene skipped Ernie and was passed down to Ernie's only daughter, Alina. That
meant the future heir of the Palmer family was either Brooke or his brother, Brooke.
He must obey Ernie unconditionally to be the next patriarch.
Ernie only gave Brooke a stern look and ignored him. Then Ernie turned over and looked at Leo with a smile. "Mr.Cohen, nice to see you again. May I have your name this time?"
Leo nodded. The guy just helped him out. He would be too distant if not telling Ernie his name now.
So he said casually, "My name is Leo."
"What? Leo?"
Ernie reacted quite dramatically after hearing that name.
He narrowed his eyes in shock and checked Leo from head to toe as if this were the first time they met.
Leo didn't know why Ernie reacted like that. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You seemed surprised at my name."
Ernie smiled and said, "So it's really you, Leo! Your story has already been spread across Hopkins Metropolis. Everyone in this
city knows your name."
Leo smiled in response.
Seeing that Leo didn't get suspicious, Ernie felt relieved.
If Leo found out Ernie let Brooke send him the auction ticket as the feeler, he would think much less of Ernie.
Ernie suddenly turned around and gave Brooke a cold look.
That look made Brooke feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. His face turned extremely grim.
He knew that he had violated the will of his patriarch. Ernie wanted him to test Leo's bottom line without pushing Leo to the
limit. However, he had failed to know the bottom line and made Leo hate his family.
“Everyone, including you, line up and apologize to Mr. Cohen!"
Just as Brooke expected, Ernie looked around and yelled out loudly.
All the men in black bowed their heads and didn't dare to say a word. They quickly lined up and bowed to Leo to apologize.
“Mr. Cohen, I'm sorry!"
Only Brooke still stood there and gritted his teeth, his face twisted out of anger.
"Sir, I brought my people here to him for a reason. He robbed us of what was supposed to be our family!"
“You told me to get the badge of the Cohen Group of the royal families in Valenham. I was about to get it, but this guy plotted
against me and robbed it away!"
"So you just waited for the auction to end and stopped him halfway?"
Ernie seemed inexorable and asked coldly.
Brooke hesitated for a while and nodded in the end.
"You shameless brat!"
Ernie roared and slapped Brooke in the face again.
“The most capable ones won the auction. You lost it because you weren't as capable as him. It's not other people's fault!"
"I wouldn't blame you for losing the auction, but I can't believe you intended to insult him afterward. If the HY Business
Association finds out this, do you even know what will happen?"
Ernie asked aloud, which made Brooke's face pale.
He wanted to take the risk and fight for it. He never thought he would make such a big mess.
There was an inexorable rule in the auctions in Hopkins Metropolis. No matter what one purchased through the auction, other
people must not hold grudges after the auction or rob it by force.
If someone was found robbing other people, the Palmer family would not only be disqualified from admission into the auction
forever, but the HY Business Association would also blacklist their business in the entire city. The development of their family
would be pushed back for 10 or 30 years.
Thinking of that, he felt a chill crawling on his back, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
"Take him away and punish him according to our family rules."
Ernie was furious and almost roaring.
Thud!
Hearing that, Brooke turned pale with fright.
“Please give me a chance! This is all my fault!"
He fell to his knees and pleaded with Ernie.
However, Ernie waved his hand with a stern look, "Take him away!"
Two men in black came over and said to Brooke, "Young Master, we're sorry for this!"
They took Brooke's arms from both sides and forced him into the car.
Before leaving, Brooke gave Leo a vicious look, as if Leo had trapped him in this.
Leo looked indifferent and watched Brooke be carried away, as if this had nothing to do with him.
“Leo, Brooke is so stupid and reckless. I apologize to you for having offended you."
Ernie bent deeply and said with a guilty face.
Leo wasn't going to help Ernie up because he thought this was what Ernie should do.
"It doesn't matter. Just teach him more disciplines. If there's nothing else Mr. Palmer wants, then I got to go now."
After Leo said this, Ernie straightened up.
Seeing Leo and Nadine leaving, Ernie seemed to have recalled something. He suddenly shouted out loud, "One more thing, Mr. Cohen!"
"What else?"
Leo turned around and asked calmly.

“To be honest, I have a favor to ask you..."

Ernie looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for quite a while before he finally said it.
“The girl Mr. Cohen saved today is my daughter. She's awake now and hopes to see her lifesaver!"
