My Ares Son-in-Law

However, beneath this pride, she hides her deep concern and worry for Xiao Chen. Jiang Yulan knows that Xiao Chen did this to protect them, and she will always remember this friendship.

"Don't be so quick to say that," Xiao Chen's tone was gentle and understanding. He sighed softly and continued.

“Now that your grandfather has just been pulled back from the brink of life and death, and so many misfortunes have happened in the family, even a big family like your Jiang family is probably exhausted at the moment and has no intention of confronting a behemoth like the Amei Group head-on.

Don't worry, I, Xiao Chen, always keep my word. I will do my best to fulfill what I promised you. When the time comes, you only need to prepare the money needed for the elixir, and leave the rest to me."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Xiao Chen's words. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see into people's hearts and give them endless trust and strength.

Jiang Yulan bit her lower lip lightly when she heard this, and a trace of reluctance and struggle flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that what Xiao Chen said was true, and now she really shouldn't make things worse.

But the stubbornness and pride in her heart made her unwilling to give in easily. However, she finally nodded and forced a smile: "Well... okay. Xiao Chen, thank you, I, Jiang Yulan, owe you a favor."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand to indicate that you were welcome. Then, he changed the subject and said in a more serious tone:
"Also, there is one more thing I want to ask of you. Zhao Liang is a straightforward and kind person, but sometimes he is also impulsive. Now he is involved in this storm because of me, and I am worried that he might get into trouble.

So, I would like to ask you to help me look after him and ensure his safety. There are not many good people like this nowadays. "

Xiao Chen's words were full of concern and worry for Zhao Liang, and his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

Seeing this, Jiang Yulan couldn't help but feel more favorable and sympathetic to Zhao Liang. She nodded and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, Xiao Chen, I will. Since Zhao Liang is your friend, he is also my friend. I will do my best to protect his safety."

"But are you sure that Bai Jun will still attack Zhao Liang?" Jiang Yulan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She recalled the scene that Xiao Chen and Zhao Liang had carefully planned before. The scene was so realistic that she believed it, as if she had witnessed a real conflict with her own eyes.

With such superb acting skills, she really couldn't imagine how Bai Jun would distinguish the truth from the falsehood, and how he would continue to regard Zhao Liang as an enemy?
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, a complicated look appearing on his face.

"You don't understand," he said slowly, with a hint of helplessness and depth in his tone.

"Bai Jun is a cunning and ruthless person. Even if he temporarily believes that there is no connection between Zhao Liang and me, such a villain will often keep looking for new excuses and reasons to hurt others because of his own selfish desires or desire for power. Zhao Liang may just be one of his next targets."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulan couldn't help but worry about Zhao Liang's safety.

She nodded with a firm look in her eyes: "Okay, I understand. I will immediately arrange people to keep a close eye on Zhao Liang's whereabouts and ensure his safety." Her tone revealed an unquestionable determination, as if she was making a promise to Xiao Chen, or swearing an oath to herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Yulan and his anticipation for the journey he was about to embark on. "Okay, let's not delay. I'll go to the Death Island Reef right now." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's figure had already soared into the air, like an eagle spreading its wings, instantly breaking the tranquility of the sky. His figure left a gorgeous trail in the air, then gradually shrank, and finally turned into a black dot, disappearing into the distant sky.

"This..." Jiang Yulan's eyes followed Xiao Chen's incredible figure closely, and her heart was filled with unprecedented shock and amazement.

She opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to engrave this scene in her memory forever. Xiao Chen's soaring posture was elegant and powerful, like an immortal who transcended the mortal world, performing magical methods that mortals could not achieve.

She thought to herself, even those old monsters in the legendary holy land probably couldn't possess such a shocking ability? This power was too terrifying and too awe-inspiring.

Just as Jiang Yulan was immersed in deep shock, Xiao Chen's figure had already streaked across the sky like a meteor, and landed quickly and silently on the Death Island Reef.

The ships sent by America to blockade the islands and reefs seemed so powerless and insignificant in front of Xiao Chen's extraordinary ability. Their radars, sonars, and even the most advanced detection systems seemed to have lost their function, and they were completely unaware of Xiao Chen's presence.

Xiao Chen stood alone on the island reef. The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the sea breeze blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, surrounded by an indescribable majesty and mystery. Then, he slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed, as if he could see through everything in the world.

He opened his lips slightly and silently released his divine consciousness, a power beyond the perception of mortals, like an invisible giant net, quickly and accurately covering the entire Death Island Reef.

Under his divine consciousness, every inch of land, every reef and even the undercurrents on the seabed could be seen.

Xiao Chen's divine sense was like a searchlight, quickly sweeping over the islands and reefs, searching for the target of his trip. Although the islands and reefs were not vast, under Xiao Chen's powerful divine sense, they seemed to be thoroughly analyzed and nothing could escape his gaze.

A few minutes later, Xiao Chen's face blossomed with a satisfied smile, which contained the joy and confidence of discovering a treasure. "There are really good things here." He whispered to himself, and although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable certainty.

Then, Xiao Chen's figure seemed to blend into the air, and disappeared silently. When he appeared again, he was standing in front of a hidden cave on the reef.

This cave is hidden between the sea and the reef. Its entrance is covered with layers of algae and surrounded by colorful corals, adding a bit of mystery and vitality to this dark entrance.

The sea water gently hits the rocks, bringing gusts of cool sea breeze. Occasionally a few marine fish swim among them, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet scene.

In front of the cave, a heavily guarded camp was clearly visible. Inside the camp, hundreds of warriors lined up neatly. Their auras were steady and powerful, and they were obviously masters above the Dragon Vein Realm. (End of this chapter)
