My Ares Son-in-Law

"He gave me this poster to show his goodwill to Su's Pharmaceuticals, hoping that we can participate in the research and development of medicinal materials in the future. After all, Su's Pharmaceuticals has a deep foundation and strength in the field of medicine."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly to show his understanding. He stared at the poster in his hand, his eyes flickering with determination. "I'll take this thing away. I plan to go to that island myself." His tone was firm and resolute, as if he had made up his mind to unveil the mysterious island.

He always had an inexplicable premonition that this place was unusual and hidden unknown secrets.

However, this premonition was so vague that he could not clearly grasp the key. Therefore, he was more determined to go and find out for himself. Only in this way could he solve the doubts in his heart and find the source of his uneasiness.

"You just came back, and you're leaving again..." Sophie's words revealed a subtle sense of loss and reluctance. Her eyes followed Xiao Chen's figure closely, as if she wanted to engrave this moment forever in her heart. However, Xiao Chen's back seemed particularly firm, as if there was an invisible force pushing him forward, not allowing him to stay for a moment.

Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed. He knew very well that his feelings for Sophie were only at the level of friends and could not go any further.

He didn't want to hurt this kind and beautiful woman, so he could only keep his distance with an indifferent attitude, hoping that she could understand. He knew in his heart that the woman he loved was only Jiang Meng from beginning to end, and that deep affection and persistence could not be replaced by anyone.

"Don't forget the purpose of my going down the mountain." Xiao Chen's voice was cold and firm. He turned his head and looked at Sophie deeply, as if he wanted to penetrate her soul and let her understand his determination.

"I am not here for the purpose of romance. The discovery of this island reef may be inextricably linked to the Prison Clan we have been fighting against. I must go there in person to find out the truth. There can be no negligence."

His tone was full of desire for unknown challenges and loyalty to the mission, a firmness and persistence that transcended personal emotions.

Sophie looked at him, with a complex emotion in her eyes, including understanding, admiration, and a hint of loss. But she knew that Xiao Chen's decision could not be changed, he had his own mission and responsibility, which was a world she could not touch.

After saying this, Xiao Chen didn't stay for a moment. He turned around and strode away with firm and powerful steps.

Sophie looked at his receding figure, and a sense of inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart. But she also understood that everyone has his own path to take, so she could only silently wish him well, hoping that he could return safely and complete his mission.

An hour later, Xiao Chen embarked on a voyage to unknown waters. He stepped steadily into a slightly compact but ingeniously designed ship.

Although the ship is not large, it exudes a sense of calmness and strength, as if it is tailor-made for the upcoming adventure. On the deck, the sea breeze blows gently, bringing a bit of salty and free air, which makes people involuntarily refreshed.

Seven or eight warriors have gathered on the boat, standing or sitting, each exuding an extraordinary aura. All of these warriors are elites carefully selected by the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. They have profound cultivation and different realms, but what they have in common is that they all have the desire and courage to take on unknown challenges. Their eyes are shining with determination and expectation, as if they can't wait to unveil the veil of the mysterious island reef.

Among the group of people, a woman in a tight leather jacket was particularly eye-catching. She was about thirty years old, and time seemed to be particularly tolerant to her, leaving no trace on her body, but instead giving her a mature and charming charm.

Her figure is well-defined, and every inch of her skin seems to contain endless strength and beauty. The most eye-catching thing is the lifelike plum blossom mark between her eyebrows. The plum blossom is not an ordinary decoration. It seems to be integrated with her skin, emitting a faint fluorescence, adding a bit of mystery and nobility to her face.

"Everyone, my name is Tie Meihua, a member of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce bodyguard team, and the leader of this expedition to the Death Island Reef." Her voice was clear and powerful, penetrating the noise of the sea breeze and reaching everyone's ears clearly.

There was both authority and concern in her tone, which made people involuntarily respect and trust her.

"I know that everyone here is a veteran warrior, but I want to remind you that Death Island is not an easy place. It hides countless dangers and unknowns. Therefore, I hope that everyone can work closely together to face the challenges that may arise. As long as everyone works together, I believe we will be able to successfully complete the task, and the Chamber of Commerce will never treat any contributor unfairly."

"Hehe, Miss Meihua, you have a graceful figure, just like a plum blossom blooming alone in the cold. Why don't we have some fun during this long voyage? Then, when we reach the islands and reefs, we will be able to work harder for the Chamber of Commerce. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

The sharp-nosed man had an obscene smile on his face, his eyes full of vulgarity and frivolity, as if he wanted to see through Tie Meihua. His tone was somewhat provocative and teasing, as if he was looking forward to the scene that might happen soon.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a chill filled the air that could not be ignored. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in white standing up slowly. His figure was straight and upright, like a green pine tree, and the two swords on his back shone slightly in the sunlight, adding a bit of inviolable majesty to him.

He has a handsome face and eyes as clear as spring water, as if they can wash away all the filth in the world, making people involuntarily respect him.

"Shameless!" The young man's words were brief and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present hard.

His voice was full of anger and disdain. He obviously could not tolerate the frivolous remarks of the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man. His eyes were like torches, staring directly at the man, as if he wanted to expose the filth and dirt in his heart one by one.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the ship became extremely tense. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two people confronting each other. Some were shocked by the sudden attack of the young man in white, some looked at Tie Meihua with sympathy, and some secretly worried about the upcoming conflict.

However, Tie Meihua herself simply glanced at the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man, then turned her gaze to the young man in white, with a barely perceptible glimpse of approval and gratitude in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
