My Ares Son-in-Law

Afterwards, Bai Mingfa gently patted Li Xunfeng's shoulder to show encouragement, then slowly turned around and walked towards the depths of the mansion with firm steps. The sun was still bright, shining on his departing back, which looked lonely and resolute.

The Four Musketeers stood where they were, looking at Bai Mingfa's gradually receding figure, with determination and resolve flashing in their eyes, as if they had made up their minds to complete the task no matter how difficult the road ahead was and to live up to the trust and expectations of the Bai family.

……

"Congratulations, you have made a breakthrough. With your current level of Dragon Pill Level 1, there are only a handful of people in the entire Eastern Region who can hurt you. Your aura has become more stable, and there is a faint sound of dragon roars echoing around you. This is a symbol of entering the ranks of true powerhouses."

Xiao Chen's eyes were shining with genuine joy and admiration. He smiled as he looked at Sophie, who had just finished her training and was slowly winding up.

Sophie breathed in and out gently, feeling the powerful force surging in her body, her face filled with excitement and satisfaction that was hard to conceal.

She turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, her bright eyes sparkling with gratitude: "It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for the precious snake meat you risked your life to hunt, which provided me with unprecedented training assistance, I think it might really take a long time to reach this point, or even be hopeless for the rest of my life. I, Sophie, will remember this kindness in my heart."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen gently waved his hand, with a warm and sincere smile: "Between us, there is no need to thank each other.

From knowing each other to knowing each other, we have experienced so much together, and our relationship has already surpassed ordinary friendship. I am happy to see your progress. Now, not only has your strength increased greatly, but you have also added a bit of extraordinary temperament, which is really impressive. "

He looked up at the horizon. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a gentle orange-red, reminding him of the passage of time.

"It is indeed getting late. The sunset is so beautiful, but it also foreshadows the coming of night. We should go home. Tomorrow will be a new beginning for you. I think that as the news of your entry into the Dragon Pill Realm spreads, many forces will come to seek cooperation. I am afraid that your schedule will be busier than mine."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Chen's words, but they also revealed his expectations for Sophie's future.

Sophie nodded slightly after hearing this, her eyes flashing with longing and determination for the future. "Well, I will cherish every opportunity, work hard to improve myself, and keep my original aspiration in mind and keep moving forward." Her words were full of strength, as if she was ready to meet the upcoming challenges and opportunities.

So, the two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled on the winding mountain road, adding a bit of extraordinary meaning to this journey home.

However, when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the scene before them made them feel depressed - Sophie's originally majestic off-road vehicle was now like an abandoned warrior, with the body of the vehicle covered with scratches and glass fragments scattered all over the ground, obviously having suffered considerable damage.

Xiao Chen's brows were furrowed, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Without further ado, they both knew that this must have been done by Bai Mingfa, the vindictive man. Sophie sighed softly, and a trace of helplessness and indignation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

At this moment, their eyes were attracted by the modified Hummer parked quietly beside them. The car was wide and had strong lines, revealing an extraordinary momentum. It was obviously carefully modified to adapt to various complex road conditions. The door was half open, as if silently inviting them.

Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen, and Liu Yue's message appeared on the WeChat interface.

The brief words, like a spring breeze, not only solved their current predicament, but also made Xiao Chen respect and appreciate this friend who always lends a hand at critical moments. "Brother Xiao, I'll leave this car to you. I'll take a friend's car back." The words revealed Liu Yue's carefree and righteous character.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He looked up at Sophie, and the two exchanged a tacit look. There was no need to say anything, everything was said without words. Then, Xiao Chen took a step and walked towards the modified Hummer first, followed by Sophie.

After getting in the car, Sophie started the engine skillfully. The roar of the car was accompanied by an unyielding force. Xiao Chen looked into the distance through the car window, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would settle this account with Bai Mingfa and let him know that the consequence of pushing for more is often a price that he cannot afford.

After returning home, Sophie closed the door gently. The house was silent except for the occasional bird calls outside the window and her soft footsteps, which intertwined into a lullaby.

She walked straight to her bedroom, with a look of fatigue and relief from the day on her face. She slowly took off her coat and put on comfortable pajamas, as if all her troubles were left outside the door with this action.

On the bed, the soft quilt exuded a faint scent of sunshine, tempting her to fall asleep quickly, looking for the long-lost peace and tranquility.

At the same time, Xiao Chen washed up and was about to devote himself to personal cultivation. He stood by the window, staring at the setting sun in the distance, and an indescribable sense of tranquility and determination surged in his heart.

However, this tranquility did not last long, as a rapid ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the room. He turned around and picked up the phone from the table. The name "Lin Youya" appeared on the screen, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." Xiao Chen answered the phone, his voice gentle but powerful.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Elegant's voice was filled with anxiety and concern, and came through the receiver clearly: "Xiao Chen, are you okay? I heard that you accepted the task assigned to you by your superiors, which is a difficult task. You could have refused. After all, debt collection was originally the responsibility of Wang Hao, the deputy manager of the company's public relations department, and Wang Hao, he is Wang Xiong's man..."

Lin Youya's words revealed her concern for Xiao Chen's situation and her helplessness about the complex relationships within the company.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen curled up a faint smile. He was well aware of Lin Youya's good intentions and was grateful for her concern.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. Since I have agreed to be your bodyguard, I will naturally do my best to protect you and handle anything that may affect you. This little thing is nothing to me." His voice was firm and confident, as if no difficulties could shake his determination.

When Lin Youya heard this on the other end of the phone, she felt a warm current in her heart, mixed with some complicated emotions.

"Xiao Chen, you are so confident... Actually, I regret it now. I shouldn't have asked you to go to the PR department. If I had asked you to be my bodyguard, maybe there wouldn't be so many troubles." Her tone was filled with a hint of self-blame and helplessness, but more of it was recognition and trust in Xiao Chen's ability. (End of this chapter)
