My Ares Son-in-Law

"Yes! This guy is so arrogant. He must pay the price for his words and deeds! How can our Hai family tolerate such an insult? We must kill him and use his blood to wash away our shame today!"

Another person took over the conversation, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes. His tone was full of determination and ruthlessness, as if he had already seen the moment Xiao Chen fell.

"That's right. If Xiao Chen were still alive, it would be the greatest irony and humiliation to us! His existence is a question of our strength and a trampling on our dignity!"

There were many emotional people in the crowd. Their voices combined into a powerful force that echoed in the hall, demonstrating their anger and indomitable spirit.

"Moreover, this is not just hatred towards Xiao Chen personally. Those families and companies that have friendly relations with him will also have to pay the price for his actions! They chose to stand on Xiao Chen's side, which means they are our enemies! The strong cannot be insulted, and those who insult us can only pay for their crimes with death!"

An old man with a stern face said in a deep voice. Although his voice was not loud, it contained unquestionable majesty, making everyone present feel his firm stance.

However, among this group of hardliners, a different voice was heard.

"Everyone, please calm down. It is natural for us to be angry, but shouldn't we also maintain a bit of rationality?" A young man stood up. His tone was calm but could not be ignored. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if looking for resonance.

"Have you ever thought about this? Xiao Chen was able to defeat even Kuangfeng Dao and Lai Dushi, two of whom are the most skilled in martial arts among us. Their defeat was by no means accidental. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo. We cannot ignore this point because of a momentary anger, otherwise, we may repeat the same mistake."

The young man continued speaking. His words were sincere and reasonable, which gradually calmed the originally heated atmosphere.

The young man's name is Hai Mu. He comes from a relatively marginal branch of the Hai family. He has a faint blood relationship with Hai Junsheng and Hai Lingshan, so it is natural for him to call them uncles.

Haimu not only inherited the family's persistent pursuit of martial arts, but more importantly, he also possessed a keen and shrewd business mind, which made him particularly outstanding among his peers.

Therefore, Hai Junsheng had a keen eye for talent and brought Hai Mu with him, both as an advisor to give him advice and as a bodyguard to protect his safety.

However, at this moment, Hai Mu's caution and rationality seemed out of place. He knew that Xiao Chen's threat should not be underestimated, and he also understood the serious consequences of underestimating the enemy, but when he tried to convey this concern to everyone, he was severely rebuked by Hai Junsheng.

"Hai Mu, shut up, you have no right to speak here!" Hai Junsheng's eyes revealed unquestionable authority, and his words were like an icy barrier, blocking Hai Mu's words that were about to come out.

Hai Mu sighed helplessly, with a hint of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes. He understood Hai Junsheng's anger and anxiety, and also understood that in this passionate atmosphere, any rational voice seemed so inappropriate.

So, he chose to remain silent and swallowed his unfinished words, but the slightly trembling corners of his mouth revealed his inner restlessness. Others in the field, either because of anger, fear, or blindly following the trend, all echoed Hai Junsheng's opinion, and no one stood up to support Hai Mu.

Although there were many people who were afraid of Xiao Chen, they chose to remain silent in this atmosphere, fearing that their different voices would bring unnecessary trouble.

Haimu stood there alone, as if forgotten by the whole world. His figure seemed particularly lonely and insignificant in the noisy hall.

Lin Wei's eyes swept across Hai Mu like ice, revealing an indescribable disappointment and indifference.

"To boost others' morale will destroy your own prestige." Her voice was low and powerful, and every word sounded like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

"Your Hai family has a long history and countless glories, but now, it is gradually declining because of people like you who are easily shaken. Xiao Chen, even if he has extraordinary martial arts, is just a warrior. When the masters of our Penglai Holy Land return, he will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and will destroy himself."

Lin Wei's words were full of helplessness and sadness about the current situation of the Hai family, and also revealed her disdain and confidence towards Xiao Chen. She knew very well that true strength lies not only in force, but also in wisdom and strategy.

"But now, we don't need to fight Xiao Chen directly." Lin Wei changed the subject, with a hint of playfulness in her tone. "The weapon in my hand is far more than just violence. Hai Junsheng, listen, I'm giving you a task, make Su Pharmaceuticals stop production in the shortest possible time, and capture their helmsman, Su Fei, for me!"

Lin Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she had foreseen the plight of Su's Pharmaceuticals and Sophie's despair. She wanted to let Xiao Chen know that violence alone could not solve the problem, and she had a more sophisticated method.

"Didn't Xiao Chen warn us not to touch Su's Pharmaceuticals?" Lin Wei sneered, "I want to show him what real power is. I don't need to do it myself. I just need to move my fingers and make a few phone calls to make him fall into deep self-doubt. Let him understand that there are some things in this world that he will never understand."

Lin Wei's words were full of confidence and determination, as if she had seen Xiao Chen's shock and helplessness after learning all this. And she, like a queen high above, controlled everything and enjoyed the pleasure of playing with the enemy in her hands.

"I'll do it right away." Hai Junsheng's words were brief and powerful. He nodded, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination. Then, he turned around and took steps, each step seemed so steady and powerful, as if he was about to embark on a road of no return.

Seeing this, Hai Mu followed without any hesitation. The two walked through the bustling crowd, one in front and one behind, and finally came to a relatively quiet place. Here, Hai Mu stopped and turned to face Hai Junsheng, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"Uncle," Hai Mu took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up all his courage, "Lin Wei has gone crazy. She is simply courting death by going head-on with Xiao Chen. You should know that this is the era of martial arts, and strength determines everything. Even though we have thousands of means, they are all so pale and powerless in the face of absolute force. Once Xiao Chen takes action, all our plans may come to nothing." (End of this chapter)
