My Billionaire Husband

These words were accompanied by a repressed but no less dangerous killing intent, causing everyone present to hold their breath.

This was an anonymous wedding; in fact, people only learned during the wedding itself that the bride was Lydia Henderson.

Everyone could only see the groom from behind, so his identity remained a mystery.

Hans’s words revealed some useful information.

To be called the Commander of the Wyverns, the groom had to be from the military.

“Do you know who the Commander of the Wyverns is?” Hans asked coldly.

Homer shook his head, feeling even more lost than before.

“He’s known as the God of the War in the military, a supreme commander and masterful tactician.”

At the mention of the Commander of the Wyverns, a solemn look of worship appeared on Hans’s tanned face.

“He’s the commander who protects our country. As long as he’s here, Winbury is safe, and no enemies will dare approach us.”

“He retired after five glorious years in the military just so he could give his lover a home.”

“It’s finally his wedding today, and the entire nation is celebrating with him, yet you brought people here to wreck it?”

With a sharp change of the topic, Hans glared at Homer and said coldly, “Do you have a death wish?”

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Homer shook his head repeatedly. “No, of course not…”

He had never regretted anything this much in his life. He should not have come tonight.

“Do you think that you’re better than everyone else, just because you have power and influence?”

Hans extinguished his cigarette, then lifted his leg and kneed Homer in the stomach.

“Ugh…”

Hans folded into himself like a shrimp and then vomited the acid in his stomach.

His face was as white as a piece of paper. Tears were even coming out of his eyes.

Hans was the commander-in-chief of the Emerdale Military Region not just because of his military exploits, but also because of his incredible strength and ability.

His knee strike was so powerful that drove the wind straight out of Homer.

“Stand up. If you’re a soldier, then act like one,” Hans said emotionlessly, picking up Homer who was about to sprawl on the floor.

Everyone was silent. No one dared to speak, and even their breathing slowed.

It was hard to imagine that Homer was aggressively trying to arrest Leo on the attempted murder charges just five minutes ago, only to be punished in such a manner.

Leo, the one who had sparked all of this, did not utter a single word from beginning to end. He merely watched the whole process with a smile.

“Warrant Officer Homer Gibbs!” Hans shouted, taking everyone aback. He stared at Homer and said, “You’ve committed a grave crime by abusing your power and colluding with external merchants. For those crimes, you’ve been discharged. Do you have any objections?”

“None at all.” Homer looked sullen but he did not dare to plead otherwise.

To him, it was lucky enough that he was only removed from his military position and not held accountable.

Hans nodded and let go of him. Then, he waved his hand and the fierce-looking men behind him reluctantly put away their pistols.

“Tell those from the military to leave. Their weapons are meant to protect civilians, not to be used against them.” Hans said.

Homer got up from the ground, gritting his way through the pain. He ordered his men to leave Oceania and quickly fled the scene in disgrace.

“You, come here.”

Hans cast a cold glance at Peter before walking in a certain direction.

When Peter saw where Hans was going, his face contorted. It was not due to pain, but because of a truth that he could not accept.

Caroline and her mother were also scared out of their wits to see Han walking in their direction. “They’re coming toward us!”

William looked worried but still, he stood up and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Hans stood still and carefully sized up William a few times. Suddenly, he cracked a grin. “Uncle William?”

Uncle?

William was taken aback at the familiar way Hans was addressing him, as were his wife and daughter. “Did you… get the wrong person?”

Then, a thought occurred to them. They turned back to look at Leo, who was still happily sampling wine, in disbelief. Was it because of him?

But how could it be?

Caroline was flabbergasted. How did this good-for-knowing know the commander-in-chief of the Emerdale Military Region?

But very quickly, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Though Hans was walking toward Leo, he did not stop in front of him. He nodded at Leo, but walked past him to get to Nadine, who was standing behind Leo. He gave the wraith-like woman a respectful military salute.

Nadine returned the salute.

Caroline could not help laughing after seeing this. Her previous idea felt so laughable, and she looked at the Leo with even more contempt.

There was no hope for this trash, and there was no way he would know a military bigshot like Hans Rickard.

Leo had been involved in an important international case for the past five years. That woman named Nadine was likely an agent from the National Security Agency, responsible for protecting important witnesses.

It was not surprising that the commander-in-chief of the Emerdale Military Region would know someone from the National Security Agency.

Soon, Hans and Nadine began talking.

To everyone’s surprise, Hans, who had seemed so powerful and domineering earlier, now seemed very cautious before Nadine.

“Nadine, keep it brief,” Leo said all of a sudden.

His voice was calm but carried an unquestionable authority.

“Yes,” Nadine replied swiftly, and stood behind him.

Meanwhile, Peter was looking at Leo with gritted teeth and a frustrated expression.

He could feel the disruption of hierarchies here.

Despite being the scion of a rich and powerful family, he was being treated like dirt.

On the other hand, Leo Cohen, a vagabond who had disappeared for five years, was being treated like a king.

What was going on with the world!

Suddenly, Hans looked at Leo. “Did he talk back to you just now?”

“Not really. He just said some unsavory things,” Leo replied, smiling.

“Okay.” Hans nodded and then turned to Peter. “Apologize then.”

“Why should I apologize?”

Peter’s face contorted in anger and he glared at Leo.

Tonight, was a nightmare for him.

His sweetheart got married, and the trash that fled the wedding to his cousin five years ago just threw him into the river. To add insult to injury, now the commander-in-chief was demanding that he apologize!

Peter was about to lose it. If he had a knife, he would not have hesitated to gut Leo with it.

“Apologize.” Han’s expression turned as cold as his voice.

All he said was one word but it contained such power that Peter had trouble breathing.

This kind of momentum was exclusive to those who had been on the battlefield and killed people.

Even so, Peter had no intention of apologizing.

“You and your men are abusing military power to suppress us regular folks! If I report this to your superiors, none of you will be able to bear the consequences!”

Hans sneered. “Are you trying to scare me?”

Leo also shook his head.

He knew Hans very well. If Peter gave a proper apology, he would go easy on him. But it was game over now that Peter tried to threaten Hans in turn.

“Kneel!”

Hans’s sudden roar was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

He did not give Peter any time to react, and kicked him straight in the knee.

Caught off guard, Peter lost his balance and kneeled on one knee before Leo.

Hans then struck Peter’s other knee, forcing him to fall awkwardly on the ground.

Peter’s face distorted the moment he fell to his knees.

Leo was still smiling as he swirling the wine in his glass without any care in the world. “Why bother?”

“Apologize!” Hans shouted.

Hans clenched his teeth, unwillingness written all over his face.

However, the situation was dire. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to oblige, something that he had not done for a very long time.

“Sorry.”

The smile on Leo’s face disappeared. He stood up abruptly and kicked Peter’s chin.

Everyone heard a loud crack as the kick broke Peter’s two front teeth and spilled blood all over the floor.

Peter’s mouth was full of blood as if he had just eaten human flesh.

“Two front teeth as the price for insulting Miss Henderson tonight; that feels appropriate.” Leo said coldly, looking down at Peter.

“Oh, and when you go back, tell Kate Lawson to cease playing her little games. Now, get lost!”

Peter shivered and immediately scrambled away from Oceania, but not before casting a long resentful glance at Leo.
