Supreme Mars novel Chapter 525

They were as elusive as ghosts. No one knew when they showed up in the yard.

They looked identical, but one was in white, and the other was in black.

They each held a wicked long saber in their arms, eyes closed.

However, although they were closing their eyes, everyone around had the feeling that the two could still detect their micro-movements.

Leo narrowed his eyes at the two newcomers.

Nadine had already taken out a dagger, ready to fight the seemingly formidable enemy.

Judging from Nadine's reaction, the two must be one of the few strongest powerhouses.

“The twin killers!" Someone exclaimed, with horror in his trembling voice.

Later, another guy in the crowd started to explain. "The twin killers lived around Sallton and Winham most of the time. They only work for the money. It's said that they have a close connection with Nathaniel of the Hopkins Budo Association. Their eyes were always closed when they were not in the mission."

Compared to Nadine’s serious and anxious look, Leo only landed his eyes on them for two or three seconds. Only a top martial art master deserved Leo's attention for more than a second.

The twins hadn't moved an inch, sitting cross-legged on the roof; neither had their eyelids ever opened.

From Leo's aura, they learned that he was no more than an ordinary man.

Ayan said through hysterical laughter, “How’s this now? Are you scared? We've cultivated the twin killers for decades and sent them around sometimes. They’re the real ace cards. They made money and spied on other prestigious families for us. That's how we got the Wilson family of Emerdale."

Leo put on a ridiculing smile and said, “That explained everything. So, they’re the spies you put in the J Group?"

"How dare you!" Ayan got irritated, but he still hadn't commanded the twin killers to take action. Today was his birthday, and it was supposed to end up nicely – no drops of blood, no kills. So, it would be best if he could just scare Leo away.

"Leo, it’s my birthday today, and for that, I'm not going to lower myself to your level. Now take your guard and get the hell out of my sight. You still have a chance to live then."

But Leo smiled playfully and satirized, "You'll give me the chance to live? But I wouldn’t if I were you. Remember what Nadine just said? Forget about your birthday party. Let's make this your funeral."

These words finally stirred up Ayan’s anger, and some guests felt Leo was insane.

How could he still talk wildly with the twin killers guarding this place?

"Who gives you the guts to make the mess here? Kneel down and apologize to Grandpa now, or you’ll never leave alive." Lane suddenly pointed at Leo and yelled, and then his peers like Albie and Hollie followed suits.

"We know your wife is Lydia, but that's not your excuse to go against our family!"

"Grandpa, why don't we just kill him?"

They became fearless with the twin killers behind their backs.

But Ayan was conservative. He cherished his reputation more than his life. The 70th birthday party was a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. He didn't want to end it in such an indecent way.

"Leo, your daughter is not here with us. You should leave now! I swear I won't give you a hard time." Ayan glared at Leo and growled.

"Don't get yourself killed for something meaningless." Jonah chimed in to echo.

As much as he wanted to kill Leo, Jonah knew what he should do in this position. He would always be a candidate before Ayan's retirement.

This position could be stolen away at any time. So, he had to win his grandfather's favor.

The faint smile on Leo's face faded bit by bit, and it was replaced by a touch of gloom. "I gave my daughter to Laura, and she came here. Now I can't get through to her. Tell me where Laura is, and I'll leave." Leo said matter-of-factly, not taking a step back.

The Watts were gripped by a feeling of raw anger.

They had already grounded Laura, and if they gave her to Leo, they might as well admit that they had kidnapped Emilia. The poor lie would give them away, so they would never admit it.

"Really? So you want to get this done in a hard way."

Ayan remained silent, coldness flickering in his eyes. His patience had been worn out.

Leo gave them an amused glance. Judging from their reactions, Leo believed he was right.

"Then I’ll call it a deal breaker."

Leo then continued expressionless, "Then there will be no Watts family in Hopkins." No one doubted it.

Everyone knew the rises and falls of the four prestigious families were inextricably linked to Leo. However, they just thought it was because Leo relied on Lydia.

They wanted to know what Leo had that could destroy the Watts family by himself.

Ayan's wrinkled face was full of anger and disdain. "Leo, let me tell you something. If you insist, I'll take the J Group and the branch of the L Group down in no time!"

It seemed that there would be an upheaval in the business world of Hopkins.

The J Group had been evergreen in the business world of Hopkins for many years, tying up with many smaller groups’ fates.

Moreover, the L Group, which originated in Emerdale, had already become a well-known "upstart" shortly after it started to march into the Hopkins market.

They understood how the Watts family was at this moment, but they still couldn't believe that Ayan had just decided to move against the two business giants.

Jonah, however, knew why his grandpa said so.

Even at this point, Ayan still didn't want anyone to shed blood on his 70th birthday.

Even Jonah couldn't wait. He wanted Leo to die right here, right now.

Other people just wanted to see how Leo would respond, but to their disappointment, Leo didn't seem surprised at all. Later, he even put on a smile with a hint of mockery in it.

"Are you sure it's the J Group and the L Group that will go bankrupt, not the Watts family?"

Soon after that, the Watts burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. Everyone was looking at Leo with ridicule.

"Looks like you don’t know about the Watts family? Even the Palmers and the Grants failed to beat us. Do you really think you can cut our economic chain off just with the J Group and the L Group?"

"Grandpa, he's not a local. I guess he didn't know how influential we are at Hopkins. All the wealthy families in Emerdale were paper tigers. They were no match for the prestigious families in Hopkins." Jonah said with a smile on his face.
