My Ares Son-in-Law

Every time Xiao Chen took action, it was not just a simple revenge, but also an action to tell them that the rules of this world are far more complicated and cruel than they imagined.

For a moment, Lord Chang was speechless and could only stare at Xiao Chen in a daze. His powerful hands were still tightly grasping the lifeless body, as if silently telling a story about strength and dignity.

"We are the Hai family of Tianhai, a prominent family that everyone in Tianhai knows about. We are ranked in the top four of the ten major families, with both glory and power! We are also the most trusted ally of the Shadow King of Tianhai, and together we are writing the legendary chapter of this continent! Not only that, our Hai family is also the distinguished sponsor of the Penglai Holy Land, providing the Holy Land with countless resources and talents, and enjoying supreme honor and status!"

Lin Wei's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight. She tried to use these prestigious titles like a sledgehammer to break down Xiao Chen's seemingly cold and ruthless defense.

However, there was only a hint of contempt across Xiao Chen's face, and his smile was full of disdain and ridicule for all this.

"So what?" He opened his thin lips lightly, his tone cold, "I, Xiao Chen, have always played high-end games. Only by associating with the strong can I hone my true edge. If you don't have these prominent backgrounds, you may not arouse my interest in personally taking action."

Lin Wei's face instantly turned pale when she heard this. She never expected that her words would be ignored like air in front of Xiao Chen. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but found that she was speechless. Those titles that she was once proud of seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

"You..." Her words got stuck in her throat, and she could only sigh helplessly. Facing such a person who did not take the Hai Family, the Shadow King, or even the Holy Land of Penglai seriously, she seemed to have no other choice but to fight with force.

But at this moment, looking at Xiao Chen's arrogant figure, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable fear and uneasiness in her heart.

The question of whether Lord Chang could defeat Xiao Chen was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

She knew that Lord Chang's strength was unfathomable, but the terrifying fighting power displayed by Xiao Chen also frightened her. The outcome of this battle was full of unknowns and variables, which made her dare not have the slightest optimism and expectation.

Lin Wei took a deep breath, as if she wanted to bury all her resentment and anger deep in her heart. She tried hard to adjust her facial expression, striving to show an elegant smile that would maintain her grace even in the face of despair.

Her voice was soft and firm, with a barely perceptible tremor, but she still maintained the calmness and composure that a high-ranking member of the Hai family should have:

"Mr. Xiao Chen, I am fully aware of what happened today. We both have our own positions and it is difficult to reconcile easily. But in order to avoid unnecessary conflict and casualties, I am willing to make concessions. If you choose to withdraw now, we can temporarily put aside our grudges and seek a way to reconcile."

"As a sign of sincerity, I will immediately order Hai Junsheng to withdraw all the forces previously sent against Su's Pharmaceuticals to ensure the peace of Su's Pharmaceuticals. Can you consider this proposal?" Every word she said was carefully considered, showing her sincerity while implying threats and compromises. In front of Xiao Chen's powerful strength that could shake the mountains and rivers, even a conspirator like her who was good at power and calculation had to temporarily put aside her pride and choose a more stable path.

However, Lin Wei's heart was filled with resentment and resentment.

She knew very well that today's concession was only a temporary measure. The real strong men under her had not yet returned, and confronting Xiao Chen head-on at this time was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg. Therefore, she chose to endure and compromise temporarily, hoping to make a comeback in the future and give Xiao Chen a fatal blow.

Unfortunately, she didn't understand Xiao Chen. This lack of understanding was like an abyss between them that was difficult to cross. The confusion and helplessness that occasionally flashed in her eyes revealed her complete ignorance of Xiao Chen's personality and style of doing things. She had never expected that this opponent would be so resolute and cold, and every word and every action revealed unquestionable firmness and ruthlessness.

"I don't understand you at all." She sighed inwardly, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness in her self-reflection. She had thought that with her wisdom and means, she could at least gain a glimmer of hope for herself at the negotiation table, but she had never expected that Xiao Chen's style of doing things was far beyond her expectations.

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, and that action contained both endless sarcasm and unquestionable majesty.

"There's no need to withdraw the people you sent out." His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Wei's heart, "Because their fate has long been determined. They will either become a lonely soul in the underworld, or be lifelong prisoners within the high walls and electric fences. And what you should care about now is yourself."

At this point, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he could see through the deepest fears in people's hearts. "Because, since I'm here, I have no intention of letting you go easily. Reconciliation? Humph, that's just your wishful thinking. You want to reconcile, but I, Xiao Chen, am not interested in it. If I didn't want to resolve this matter once and for all, why would I come here in person?"

Lin Wei's face turned extremely ugly at this moment, as if all the blood color was drained away at this moment.

She thought that if she lowered her attitude, chose to compromise, and chose to forbear and give in, she could at least get a chance to breathe and a glimmer of hope for life. However, Xiao Chen's determination and coldness were like a sharp knife that stabbed into her heart, making her feel unprecedented despair and helplessness.

"Is Xiao Chen really so confident?" She asked herself, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little confused and angry. "Or is he just an arrogant person who doesn't care about other people's feelings and life and death?" Such thoughts kept lingering in her mind, making her feel angry and helpless.

This is simply unacceptable!
Lin Wei roared in her heart, but she knew that her anger and unwillingness at the moment could not change anything. She had to calm down and find a way out. However, facing such a powerful opponent, what could she do? All of this made her feel unprecedentedly confused and hesitant.

"Do you have to do it so drastically?" Lin Wei frowned, her tone filled with confusion and helplessness. Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, both worry about the current situation and deep resistance to the impending conflict. (End of this chapter)
