My Ares Son-in-Law

"I am the innocent victim. Now that I have finally escaped from danger, I am forced to face such a choice. Moreover, this is the vast ocean. Even as a warrior, how can I fly to the distant Death Island Reef by myself? This is simply ridiculous!"

Jiang Yulan's voice echoed on the empty deck, with a hint of helplessness and despair. She had never thought that her passion and kindness would be treated like this.

The coldness and ruthlessness of Tie Meihua, like a sharp knife, stabbed into her heart. She couldn't believe that the person who saved her at the critical moment would be so determined to push her into a deeper abyss.

Tie Meihua's face was still as cold as a stone sculpture, and there was no fluctuation in her deep eyes, as if Jiang Yulan's anger and accusations were just a breeze blowing across the lake, which could not stir up the slightest ripple. Her silence was more like a silent mockery, which made Jiang Yulan's anger even more difficult to contain.

The warriors around them also stood up, their figures stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking particularly tall and majestic. They gathered behind Tie Meihua without any prior agreement, and their posture was clearly to put pressure on Xiao Chen and Jiang Yulan, forcing them to make a choice - either jump into the sea or accept an unknown fate.

"You!" Jiang Yulan's voice was almost a roar, her face flushed red with anger, tears flashing in her eyes, a mixture of anger and unwillingness.

She had never felt the complexity and darkness of human nature so closely. The intrigues and the law of the jungle that she had only read about in books were now so real in front of her.

She suddenly realized that the path of cultivation she had pursued before seemed incompatible with this cruel reality. The knowledge in books could not teach her how to survive in such a world.

At this moment, she felt unprecedentedly lonely and helpless, as if the whole world was against her.

Xiao Chen's voice slowly rang out on the deck, with unquestionable majesty and decisiveness.

"Originally, I did intend to invite you to go to the islands and reefs with me to work together for something." There was a hint of regret in his words, but it was immediately replaced by determination.

"However, the current situation obviously does not allow us to travel together. Therefore, I have decided that you all should disembark here. As for this ship, from now on, I will officially requisition it. Except for the necessary crew members, the rest of the passengers, I will give you three minutes to pack your belongings and leave the ship immediately."

As soon as these words came out, the entire deck fell into a dead silence, and everyone's face was filled with shock and disbelief. Jiang Yulan's eyes widened. She had never seen such a domineering and decisive way of handling things. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Xiao Chen's style of doing things was really different and eye-opening.

Tie Meihua's brows were furrowed, and a hint of anger and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She took a step forward, and her voice was somewhat threatening: "Mr. Xiao, you may not know that this ship is the property of Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, and our Tianhai Chamber of Commerce has the strong support of Dragon Guards. I am afraid that your decision will cause unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen just smiled gently, and that smile seemed to contain endless depth and confidence.

He did not respond directly to Tie Meihua's words, but lowered his head, glanced at the phone in his hand, and said lightly: "Time is the most precious thing in the world and the most fair referee. Now, ten seconds have passed. I hope everyone can cherish this precious time and make a choice as soon as possible." "Good boy, do you really think that you can dominate the sea just because you defeated the most insignificant little character among the 'Three Monsters of Peach Garden'? You are so arrogant and overestimating your own abilities!"

A burly, bearded warrior's voice exploded on the deck like thunder. His eyes were full of provocation and disdain, as if he wanted to crush Xiao Chen's arrogance.

"Okay!" Several warriors around responded after hearing this. The expressions on their faces were different, but all of them revealed hostility and contempt for Xiao Chen. In an instant, the four of them rushed towards Xiao Chen from all directions at the same time like four black lightning bolts. Their movements were swift and powerful, and they were obviously warriors who had undergone rigorous training.

However, facing this sudden attack, Xiao Chen only raised a contemptuous smile, which contained both mockery of the enemy's ignorance and confidence in his own strength. His figure flashed, as if he merged into the air, leaving only a faint afterimage.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Four dull crashing sounds rang out almost simultaneously, followed by four sounds of falling into the water. Before the four warriors could react, they were hit in the vitals by Xiao Chen's lightning-fast attack, and their bodies flew out of the deck uncontrollably and fell into the rough sea.

Their figures struggled a few times on the sea, and then quickly disappeared, leaving only circles of spreading ripples, indicating that their current situation was extremely bad - perhaps they had already fainted, or even faced the danger of being drowned by the sea or attacked by sea beasts.

Xiao Chen stood firmly in place, his sleeves fluttering, as if nothing had happened. He slowly turned around, his eyes like torches, scanning the remaining warriors, his eyes full of sarcasm and disdain: "Do you want to continue? Although I, Xiao Chen, am not a bloodthirsty person, I will not allow others to bully me."

The remaining warriors looked at each other in bewilderment. They felt Xiao Chen's power and cruelty from the four sounds of falling into the water, and a chill ran down their spines. They knew that continuing to be an enemy of Xiao Chen would undoubtedly lead to their own death.

So, they began to pack their luggage, moving quickly and hurriedly, as if they were afraid that Xiao Chen would change his mind.

"Let's go!" Finally, someone couldn't help shouting out this sentence, breaking the silence on the deck. Then, these warriors jumped into the sea one after another.

For them, jumping into the sea is not the best option, but it is not a desperate situation. As martial arts practitioners, they have extraordinary strength and strong will.

For them, staying awake, using their martial arts skills to find a glimmer of hope in the vast ocean and swimming back to the shore is not an easy task, but it is not impossible.

Of course, this presupposes that they must be able to avoid those extremely ferocious sea beasts lurking in the deep sea. Those overlords of the sea are enough to strike fear into the hearts of any warrior.

Tie Meihua stood there, her figure slightly stiff, her face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. She had never expected that things would develop to such an extent. Not only did her plan fail, but she also fell into unprecedented embarrassment and passivity. (End of this chapter)
