Supreme Mars novel Chapter 7

After he bought the International Commerce Center, Leo closed his eyes and remained silent for the rest of the journey. Nadine concentrated on driving as well.

The black Rolls-Royce roamed on the crowded road while the other cars made way for it, intentionally or unintentionally.

Suddenly, a muffled groan broke the silence in the car.

"Where am I...?" It was Chris who came to his senses, then he shook his dazed head.

"Leo, Leo Cohen? It's you!" Very soon, he noticed Leo sitting next to him and was scared out of his wits.

Leo opened his eyes and glanced at him indifferently. "Awake?"

"What do you want? If you lay a finger on me, The Lawson family will come after you." Chris stared hard at Leo as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

"You? Who do you think you are?" Leo smiled contemptuously.

"Like I said, my only target is Kate Lawson. You're nothing but a pawn. I have no time to waste on you."

These words stung, but Chris still breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, his life was no longer in danger.

He stammered, "Leo... Mr. Cohen, if you won't hurt me, will you let me go?"

Leo shot a meaningful gaze at Chris, making him instantly nervous again.

It was as if he could not hide anything in front of this pair of eyes.

"It's true that you're a pawn, but the outcome of a war usually depends on pawns." Leo continued, "I won't destroy Kate all at once. That's too kind for her. I'd like to teach her what true despair is."

With that, he took out a white pill from his pocket and commanded, "Eat it."

"What's this?" Chris' heart thumped.

"Poison," Leo said in a calm tone, "You'll be my spy. I'm the only person in the world who has the antidote, so don't waste your time. Come to me every once in a while and update me with information about the Lawson family in exchange for the antidote."

"Of course, you can choose not to eat it. Nadine," Leo said.

"Yes, sir." With that, a blade scraped Chris' cheek and his pupils dilated in terror.

"It's up to you." Leo reminded.

"..." Chris’ face twisted and turned purple but he swallowed the poison in the end.

Leo remained impassive like that had been expected and said, "Nadine, drop him off."

The vehicle came to a stop with a smooth purr, and hit the road again after Chris scurried out of the car.

10 minutes later, the car stopped at a prosperous business area.

In the center of the high-rise buildings, there stood the tallest and most magnificent building - International Commerce Center.

Leo got off the car and motioned Nadine to leave. He looked up at the majestic building in front of him as his expression grew firmer. "Lydia, Emilia, I’m coming..."

Just as he was about to walk inside, two women in formal clothes got out of a commercial vehicle which then headed toward the underground parking lot.

It was Rebecca and Caroline.

Caroline pulled a long face and Rebecca was reasoning with her nicely.

"Caroline, don’t worry. I’m on your side this time. Not to mention you drove away that troublesome man, and even if you didn’t, I would have done the same thing."
