My Ares Son-in-Law

"To be honest, this is no joke." Zhao Liang sighed softly, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a bit of solemnity and helplessness.

"Although this Death Island Reef is floating alone on the high seas, the water behind it is very deep. America, one of the most powerful countries in the world, has quietly extended its tentacles here. They have sent many experts to surround the island reef like an iron barrel. Anyone entering or leaving must undergo their strict inspection.

That’s not all. The most chilling thing is that there are people on our side who are in cahoots with them, helping outsiders to scheme against their own people. It really makes people hate them to death.”

At this point, Zhao Liang's tone couldn't help but be mixed with a bit of indignation and heartache, as if he was disgusted by certain acts of betrayal on this land.

"You two are new here and may not know much about the complicated situation here. Although I, Zhao Liang, am just an errand boy, I have been in this sea area for so many years and I know some inside information. So, I sincerely advise you not to wade into this muddy water. Eat this Nine-Colored Drunken Fish and treat it as a short vacation for yourself. Enjoy the scenery here and then leave safely. It is better than anything else."

Xiao Chen frowned even more tightly when he heard this. He could feel the sincerity and worry in Zhao Liang's words. He knew very well that since Zhao Liang could say this, the situation behind it must be more complicated and dangerous than he imagined.

"Brother Zhao, there's something else behind your words." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with inquiry, "Why would the people from America block this place? What are they looking for? And what about those people who are betraying you?"

Seeing this, Zhao Liang smiled bitterly. He knew that Xiao Chen had realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Alas, these things are long and involve many sensitive issues. I can only tell you that this Dead Island Reef may hide something that makes America jealous. As for what it is, I don't know. And those who cooperated with America, they either did it for profit or were threatened, in short, they betrayed their country and compatriots. This behavior is really despicable."

At this point, Zhao Liang seemed a little excited. He paused and tried to calm himself down.

"Anyway, you should listen to my advice. The water here is too deep for you to wade through. If you are really interested in the spiritual creatures on the island, you have to wait until the time is right. Right now, safety comes first."

There was a gleam of curiosity and confusion in Xiao Chen's eyes. He leaned forward slightly, as if trying to dig out more information from every word Zhao Liang said.

"Who on earth is this person who has the connection with an international giant like America? The power behind him must be very powerful." There was a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and a complex light flashed in his eyes, showing both helplessness towards reality and anger towards those betrayers.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Amei Group in Haixi Province, which is located in the territory of Longguo but has a close connection with America."

There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his words, and it was obvious that he hated the behavior of this group. "Just listen to the name, the word 'Amei' is enough to make people think of that distant country. In fact, the major shareholder of the Amei Group is a big family in America. The conflict of interests between them has long transcended national borders and penetrated deep into this seemingly peaceful sea."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, frowning, obviously surprised and dissatisfied with this situation. "This place is obviously closer to our Dragon Country, and has a close connection with us in terms of culture, history and geography. However, how can America be so arrogant and reckless on the high seas?" His tone revealed a bit of resentment and doubt, as if he was asking fate a question, seeking a reasonable explanation.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang curled his lips into a disdainful sneer and shook his head slightly, as if he had already seen through the rules of this world.

"Where is the logic? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, whoever has the bigger fist is the one with the right." Although his voice was low, it was full of power, as if he was telling Xiao Chen a cruel and realistic truth.

Xiao Chen heard this, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips. In that smile, there was both gratitude for Zhao Liang's honesty and anticipation for the upcoming challenge. "Is your fist big? That's easy."

There was a hint of playfulness and confidence in his tone, as if he had already found a solution. "Thank you, brother. Your words today are vital information to me." His words were full of gratitude, and he obviously regarded Zhao Liang as a trustworthy friend.

Zhao Liang's smile was warm and sincere, like a ray of sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the coldness around him and the haze brought by the unknown.

"Really, don't be polite to me. It's fate that we meet here. I think you two are also kind-hearted people. You will get along well after chatting for a while. If you are really curious about the Death Island Reef and want to see it with your own eyes, although I, Zhao Liang, am not a big shot, I can still say a few words about this sea area."

His words revealed an indescribable confidence and arrogance, as if nothing was impossible as long as he was willing.

"I'm not bragging. I've been around for so many years and have a wide network of contacts. Especially with the Amei Group, I have a few good friends who have high status within the group.

If you really want to find out, I can try to say hello to them and see if I can let you go to the Dead Island Reef with me. Of course, this depends on their arrangements and willingness, after all, the situation there is quite complicated now. "

When Zhao Liang said this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was also afraid of the island and reef that was shrouded by American forces.

Zhao Liang's tone immediately became cautious. He shook his head slightly and added, "But having said that, I have to give you a heads-up in advance. I can't guarantee whether you can enter the interior of the island or reef.

After all, that place is now being closely watched by the Americans, and it is said that there are many unknown dangers and traps inside. Therefore, we still have to be mentally prepared, and don't be too disappointed if we can't get in."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle and profound smile. In that smile, he was grateful for Zhao Liang's sudden enthusiasm, and seemed to have a bit of recognition of the goodness of human nature. (End of this chapter)
