"Leo!"
When she clearly saw the figure in front of her, Lydia let out a sharp cry and the rims of her eyes became moist.
She didn't expect that her husband would appear just in the nick of time.
"Go, take Emilia with you."
Leo said without looking back, and his voice was extremely stern.
Lydia's eyes were filled with indescribable shock. She had never seen Leo like this before, cold and threatening.
Immediately, she picked up Emilia and went into the elevator.
She had covered her daughter's eyes with her hand when she saw how violently Peter was thrown against the wall. She didn't want to frighten her daughter.
Just then, Peter got back his senses and felt a sharp pain in his head.
When he lifted his hand to touch his head, he felt an icy cold sticky substance on his head. It was blood.
Realizing that he was bleeding, Peter's face contorted into an ugly threatening look. He glared at Leo.
"Leo, you've ruined my plans time and time again. Do you really think we’re afraid of you?"
"I don't know about that, but today, you are going to die."
His voice void of any emotions or fear. The air felt chilly instantaneously.
"Just you alone?"
Peter started laughing. His eyes flickered with disdain as he said, "Five years ago, you were a piece of useless shit hanging around my sister. And today you’re acting all arrogant? Just because you got to know a couple of people doesn't change the fact that you're still a piece of shit!"
Leo shook his head and looked pitifully at Peter. "Obviously, you know nothing about me."
Peter had no inkling of the impending danger he was in. He continued to look at Leo with resentment. "I had wanted to take care of you but I didn't expect you to come to me. Saving damsel in distress huh? Good acting."
"You are going to die tonight, and Lydia is going nowhere either. The whole building is surrounded by my men, and no one can escape."
He was still trying to infuriate Leo, eager to see anger or fear on his face. To his disappointment, Leo's facial expression was unchanged, he had the same indifferent look.
In addition to the indifference, there was also a tinge of sympathy.
Leo walked to the window, pointed to the closely linked cars not far away, and asked, "You mean those cars?"
"Yeah, our elite guys."
Peter laughed uproariously.
But his voice stopped abruptly like a kite who had just lost the wind current beneath it.
It was as if he had seen something shocking; his mouth was wide opened, and his eyes almost popped out.
A woman, in a black leather suit and pants, appeared near the cars.
She pulled out a something small and black from her pocket and tossed it at the bottom of the chassis.
Then she slowly turned around.
As soon as she walked off, the cars exploded. The fire shot through the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud above the charred vehicles.
The powerful blast bent the surrounding trees at a 90 degrees angle, causing them to sway left and right violently. Nadine's beautiful black hair was also wind-tossed by the impact.
But she was unmoved by the huge explosion. She continued to walk away.
"She, she..."
Staring at the Nadine in horror, Peter was scared out of his wits.
What was that woman holding in her hand?
"A hand grenade?"
