My Ares Son-in-Law

"Once he, the former head of the family, disappears, I will be the new head of the Hai family. Under the protection of the Shadow King's unparalleled power, I will not only consolidate the status of the Hai family, but also push it to an unprecedented height! Hahahaha!" His laughter was like thunder, shaking the air around him, and every word revealed his infinite longing and confidence for the future.

Facing Hai Junsheng's arrogance, Hai Mu's eyes flashed with disdain and anger. He sneered, his tone full of sarcasm and contempt: "Being the Shadow King's dog? Hai Junsheng, you actually degraded your dignity and the honor of your family to this! Do you think that relying on a cold-blooded mastermind can exchange for real power and status?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Junsheng's smile did not fade, but became even more disdainful: "So what if I'm a dog? In this world where the strong are respected, being able to stand at the top and enjoy the glory above everyone else is worth it, no matter how much it costs. Besides, do you know how many people dream of becoming the Shadow King's dog, but don't even have this opportunity. Hai Mu, you are too naive."

At this point, Hai Junsheng suddenly changed the subject, staring at Hai Mu with a sharp gaze, his tone adding a bit of temptation and threat:
"Hai Mu, I admit that you have some abilities and a unique way of looking at things. But in this chaotic world, the power of an individual is ultimately limited. Now, as long as you are willing to kneel down and beg for mercy from me and acknowledge my status, I will not only forgive you for the past, but also give you a chance to continue to serve me and share the glory of the future."

However, Haimu's answer was firm and decisive: "You're dreaming!" He spat suddenly, and the spit drew an angry arc in the air and finally fell on the cold ground.

"Hai Junsheng, I, Hai Mu, am different from you! I have my own principles and bottom line, and I will never sell my soul and the interests of my family for power and status! I would rather die than work for someone who killed the head of the Hai family and tarnished the family's honor!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word seemed to burst out from the depths of his heart, full of anger and despair.

Hai Jun wiped the saliva off his face fiercely, his action was fierce and unwilling, as if he wanted to wipe out all the humiliation and anger.

His face was distorted by extreme anger, his eyes were wide open and bloodshot, like two burning flames, ready to burn all obstacles in his way.

He roared at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the narrow cave, with an unquestionable determination and madness: "Kill him! Kill him! I want this kid to see with his own eyes who is the real ruler here, who is the king who decides life and death!"

Following Hai Junsheng's order, the warriors of the Hai family, who were already ready to move, surrounded Hai Mu like activated beasts. They all had fierce looks on their faces, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty desire and absolute obedience to orders.

The weapons in their hands flashed with cold light, appearing even more deadly under the dim light, as if they would turn into deadly blades at any time and stab Haimu's chest.

Facing this sudden siege, Haimu was not afraid at all, he stood up straight, his eyes were sharp, and he scanned everyone around him. He knew that he was in a desperate situation, but his persistence in justice and loyalty to his family made him unable to retreat.

He shouted, "Are you going to become this evil man's accomplices? Have you forgotten how the master treated you? If he can kill the master today, he can kill any one of you tomorrow!"

However, Hai Mu's shouts did not seem to awaken these warriors who were blinded by the desire for power. They just followed Hai Junsheng's orders indifferently, approaching step by step without any hesitation or wavering. Seeing this, Hai Junsheng raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, which was full of confidence in victory and contempt for Hai Mu.

"Don't waste your time, Haimu." He said slowly, with a hint of pride and sarcasm in his tone.

"Over the years, Hailingshan has been controlled by Lin Wei's drugs and has long lost real control over the Hai family warriors. And I used this time to quietly bribe most of them. Now, these people are my confidants, they will only obey my orders and be used by me. Otherwise, how do you think I could imprison Hailingshan so easily and remain safe and sound?"

"How sad!" Haimu's voice was filled with helplessness and pain. He shook his head slowly, his eyes flashing with deep disappointment with the current situation of his family.

"I originally thought that even in this precarious moment, the most loyal guards of the Hai family would stick to their beliefs and duties. But I didn't expect that even they could be corrupted by the desire for power and choose to betray. This Hai family is really rotten to the core."

Upon hearing this, Hai Junsheng's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. He snorted coldly, his voice as cold as ice: "Stop pretending here, shut up! You bunch of traitors, today I will let you see the fate of traitors!" He waved his hand fiercely and issued the final order.

"Yes!" A group of Hai family warriors, like wild beasts that had been unleashed from their restraints, roared and pounced on Hai Mu. The weapons in their hands flashed a bloodthirsty cold light in the dim light, as if they wanted to tear Hai Mu into pieces.

However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened. A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard suddenly, and then a series of black shadows shot out from the top of the wall at an astonishing speed.

Those black shadows drew graceful arcs in the air and eventually turned into sharp arrows, shooting accurately at the group of warriors who were rushing towards Haimu.

Arrows rained down like raindrops, and in an instant, more than a dozen warriors were shot and fell to the ground. Their bodies twitched a few times under the influence of inertia, and then fell silent. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which mixed with the cold breath of the cave, making it particularly pungent.

This scene happened suddenly, shocking everyone present. Hai Junsheng's face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the top of the wall, only to see a few figures standing there vaguely. Although he couldn't see clearly, the fierce murderous aura made people shudder.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Hai family!" Hai Junsheng shouted angrily, his voice full of anger and unwillingness. He never expected that at this critical moment, someone would suddenly help Hai Mu. This made him feel extremely shocked and angry, and at the same time he was deeply afraid of the unknown enemy.

Haimu gently brushed off the dust on his sleeves, his movements were somewhat calm, as if the crisis before him was nothing but a passing cloud to him. (End of this chapter)
