My Ares Son-in-Law

"Each elixir contains supreme spiritual power, enough to bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh. But considering your actual situation, this master is not a greedy person. One elixir costs one million diamond coins. Eight elixir totals eight million diamond coins. No cheating."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around. Some people were amazed at the magic of the elixir, while others were shocked and hesitant about the price. And those patients who had just woken up were even more excited. They all asked Master Yuan for help, with urgency and desperation in their voices.

"Master, please save me! I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I can't die like this!" A middle-aged man, with tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and begged.

"Yes, Master, please save me too! I am the pillar of the family. Once I fall, the whole family will fall apart." Another woman also burst into tears. She clutched Master Yuan's sleeve tightly, as if that was her only hope.

"That kid took advantage of our unconsciousness to do whatever he wanted, and we were completely unaware of it! Master, please do something for us!" Someone pointed at Xiao Chen indignantly, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

"When I get better, I will sue him and make him pay for his actions!" More people echoed this, their anger and despair intertwined together, forming a force that cannot be ignored.

……

Amid the accusatory or puzzled gazes of the crowd, several patients who were originally treated by Xiao Chen personally, now seemed to be driven by some force and pointed their fingers at him.

Their words were filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, as if Xiao Chen's treatment was not appreciated but became their target. This scene made Sophie, who was standing by, feel a chill in her heart. She looked at these patients who were once full of gratitude in disbelief, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Sophie's eyes involuntarily turned to Xiao Chen. Those deep eyes seemed to contain endless stories and wisdom. Her eyes were full of questions and concerns, as if silently asking: "Is this so-called master really reliable? Are you really willing to place your hopes on him?"

Xiao Chen felt Sophie's gaze and smiled slightly. That smile was both a comfort to Sophie and a firmness in his decision. "Saving people is the most important thing. Give it to him." He said softly, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

After hearing this, although Sophie had many doubts and concerns in her heart, she chose to believe Xiao Chen.

She nodded, with a gleam of trust in her eyes, as if to say, "No matter what decision you make, I support you." This trust and tacit understanding made the feelings between the two even deeper.

Master Yuan couldn't help but feel regretful when he saw this. He originally thought he could take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't expect Sophie to agree so readily. At this moment, although he felt unwilling, he also knew that it was too late to regret.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and feed the eight so-called "magic pills" in his hand to the poisoned people one by one.

During this process, Master Yuan's movements appeared both solemn and mysterious, as if he was really performing some advanced magic.

However, deep in his heart, there was a subtle sense of tension and anxiety.

He knew very well that these "magic pills" were just a cover for him to defraud money, and he himself was not sure about their real effects. But at this moment, he could only hope that these pills could temporarily stabilize his condition and buy him more time to weave more lies.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! You are like our reborn parents, giving us a second life!" Several patients spoke sincerely, with faces full of gratitude. They held Master Yuan's hands tightly, with tears in their eyes, as if they wanted to remember this kindness forever. However, in this gratitude, they seemed to have forgotten the figure who first pulled them back from the brink of death - Xiao Chen. Their gratitude surged towards Master Yuan like a tide, but they never looked back at the young man standing silently by their side.

Master Yuan's face was filled with a smug smile. He gently patted the patients on the shoulders, his eyes revealing a sense of superiority.

"Don't worry. This elixir of mine is extraordinary. After they take it, the toxins in their bodies will dissipate within an hour, and they will be out of danger and recover their health." His words were full of confidence and pride, as if he really possessed the power to bring the dead back to life.

His smile was deep and mysterious, making people want to believe everything he said.

Li Na, who was standing nearby, was even more proud when she saw this. She glanced at Sophie, and a sneer appeared on her lips, with a hint of provocation and boasting in her tone:

"Boss Su, you see, this professional matter should be left to professionals. I know Xiao Chen is your fiancé, so you naturally favor him, but the safety of the company's employees can't be taken lightly. This time, thanks to Master Yuan's timely rescue, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Her words were sharp and to the point, leaving Sophie speechless for a moment.

Sophie felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She was surprised by Master Yuan's "miraculous" healing effect, displeased by Li Na's provocation, and even more worried about Xiao Chen's situation.

She knew Xiao Chen's medical skills and character very well, and knew that he would not joke with the lives of his employees. But at this moment, facing everyone's gratitude and Master Yuan's confidence, she could only hide this trust and worry deep in her heart and silently observe the development of the situation.

Li Na's gaze was like a sharp blade, suddenly turning to Xiao Chen, with a provocative arc at the corner of her mouth, and that arrogance seemed to lift her whole person up a few points.

"Boy, are you convinced?" There was unquestionable toughness in her voice, and her eyes flashed with the light of a winner, as if she had foreseen Xiao Chen's frustration and bowing.

Xiao Chen stood there, his face calm, and he did not show much emotion towards Li Na's provocation. However, Sophie standing next to him was a different picture, her brows were furrowed, her eyes revealed dissatisfaction with Li Na's attitude and concern for Xiao Chen.

She was about to open her mouth to defend Xiao Chen, but was suddenly interrupted by a sudden scream.

The eight patients who had seemed to be getting better now looked as if they were suffering from great pain. Their faces were as pale as paper, their bodies were twisted, and they let out sharp screams.

What was even more shocking was that blood began to flow out of the corners of their mouths. The bright red color looked particularly glaring on their pale faces, indicating that they were in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment.

Seeing this, Sophie's anger was instantly ignited. She glared at Master Yuan, her tone full of blame and confusion: "Master Yuan, what happened to them? Didn't you just say that they would be out of danger after taking the elixir? How come the situation has become even worse now!" (End of this chapter)
