My Ares Son-in-Law

But Bai Mingfa no longer cared about so much. He just hoped that at this last moment, he could regain a little face and dignity for himself.

However, just as everyone was holding their breath and the atmosphere was tense to the point of freezing, Bai Mingfa's eyes suddenly widened, and an unbelievable scene was reflected in his pupils. His gaze seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and locked onto the direction of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stood there quietly, with an upright posture and a calm face, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him. His eyes were deep and sharp, like the brightest stars in the night sky, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.

And under such gaze, the originally ferocious giant python seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. The scales on its body trembled with fear. Its huge head slowly turned, and its eyes were full of fear and despair.

There were no words, no movements, just an exchange of eyes. The giant python seemed to be frightened by some invisible force. It turned around without hesitation and fled to the depths of the lake at the fastest speed, splashing water and leaving ripples that lingered on the lake for a long time.

This scene left everyone present speechless with shock, as if they had witnessed some incredible miracle.

Wang Li was even more stunned. He took a breath and was shocked beyond words. He recalled that he had the courage to compete with such a being before, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He secretly felt lucky that Xiao Chen had rejected his request without hesitation. Otherwise, with his limited strength, he would have been beaten to death by Xiao Chen long ago, and would not be able to stand here intact like now.

"Fuck you..." Wang Li murmured in a low voice, with a tone of awe for Xiao Chen's strength and relief for his lucky escape. He looked at Xiao Chen's back, his heart filled with complex emotions, a mixture of awe, envy and inferiority, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

"Is this... is this still a human?" Wang Li's words were filled with disbelief and shock. His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with awe for Xiao Chen's unimaginable strength. He involuntarily took a step back, as if he wanted to keep a certain distance from this man who suddenly showed his peerless charm.

Zhang Qiaoqiao was standing nearby, also deeply shocked by this scene. Her voice trembled a bit, but she couldn't hide her excitement and curiosity: "Maybe he is really an expert."

Her eyes showed admiration for Xiao Chen's strength, as well as a hint of yearning and longing, as if she had seen a mysterious and powerful world that she had never encountered before.

The people around him nodded and talked one after another, but they all kept a respectful distance from Xiao Chen. The young men and women were even more active, and they began to think about how to get close to Xiao Chen and how to use this opportunity to gain more benefits for themselves.

They secretly thought that perhaps they could establish some kind of connection with Xiao Chen through Sophie, or even a cooperative relationship. After all, being able to make friends with such a master would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their status and influence in the Eastern Region.

Some thoughtful women have even begun to fantasize about the possibilities with Xiao Chen. They imagine how they would meet, get to know, and even fall in love with this heroic man.

The starting point of all this seemed to be Xiao Chen's inadvertent display of extraordinary grace and his heroic act of standing up for Sophie and fighting the giant python. However, Xiao Chen himself knew nothing about it. He stood there with a calm and deep gaze, as if everything that had just happened was just a small episode in his daily life.

He didn't know that his simple action had quietly triggered such a huge chain reaction among the crowd, and he didn't know that his existence had quietly paved the way for Sophie's business in the entire Eastern Region.

"Hmph, you know shit!" Bai Mingfa's voice was full of disdain and resentment. He really couldn't stand the blind flattery and worship of Xiao Chen by the people around him.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, and his eyes flashed with a sinister light, as if he wanted to pour out all the jealousy and resentment in his heart.
"The reason why that guy was able to escape unscathed was because of the armor he was wearing. It had nothing to do with his abilities. Do you really think he scared off the giant python by himself? How naive!"

Bai Mingfa's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. His words were full of provocation and provocation, and he was obviously deliberately provoking everyone's emotions, trying to transfer everyone's admiration and respect for Xiao Chen to himself.

Sure enough, several lackeys who usually followed Bai Mingfa's steps immediately responded. They nodded in agreement, with flattering smiles on their faces:
"Yes, Master Bai is right! It must be the armor on that kid that played a role. It has nothing to do with his strength." "That's right. Whether the giant python escapes or not has nothing to do with Xiao Chen. It's all thanks to the armor." "I support Master Bai. Master Bai is right!"

……

The words of these lackeys were full of contempt and disdain for Xiao Chen. They seemed to have completely forgotten how bravely and fearlessly Xiao Chen had rescued Sophie just now, and how he had made the giant python flee with just a glance.

There was only Bai Mingfa in their eyes, and they only blindly worshipped and followed Bai Mingfa. Even though they knew that Bai Mingfa's words were full of loopholes or even nonsense, they still chose to stand on his side and cheer for him.

Such a scene made many people present feel a chill. They looked at the lackeys' servile and fawning appearance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt and disdain in their hearts. However, Bai Mingfa himself seemed to enjoy the feeling of being sought after, with a smug smile on his face, as if he had become the center of the world.

"Are you all blind?" The voice of this man who spoke up for justice was loud and firm, penetrating the surrounding noise and fear, like a fresh breeze that blew away the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts.

His face was firm and his eyes flashed with an unquestionable light. It was obvious that he had a clear judgment of the current situation and a strong sense of justice.

He continued, "If it weren't for Brother Xiao, we would all have died here today and become food for that monster! And you, there are still people here praising that selfish idiot Bai Mingfa? Not only did he not stand up, but he pushed our President Su into danger. This behavior is simply outrageous!"

His words were full of admiration and gratitude for Xiao Chen, and he also expressed deep dissatisfaction and anger at Bai Mingfa's actions. (End of this chapter)
