My Ares Son-in-Law

"Here, I would like to express my sincerest apology to Mr. Xiao. No matter how Mr. Xiao wants to punish me, I am willing to accept it.

However, I beg Mr. Xiao to save my son for the sake of the patient's pity and innocence. He is my only son and the continuation of my life. I cannot lose him."

As he spoke, Huang Yuandong's eyes turned red and his voice became choked. He knew that every word he said at this moment was related to his son's life or death.

Therefore, he expressed his plea and regret without reservation, hoping that Xiao Chen could feel his sincerity and determination.

Xiao Chen's tone was calm, yet it seemed to contain some indescribable power. He spoke slowly:
"Huang Yuandong, you are a big shot in the Eastern Region. You only need to stamp your feet lightly to make the whole region tremble. Now, you have to apologize to an insignificant and unknown person like me. Do you feel particularly aggrieved or even unwilling?"

Huang Yuandong's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and then a complex smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling his past glory and pride.

“I was born into a prominent family and was given higher expectations and responsibilities than ordinary people since I was young. Therefore, I think highly of myself and almost never take anyone seriously.

Along the way, I witnessed too many evil hearts. People in the world fight for fame and fortune, and are willing to pay any price. Some are eager to leave their names in history and be remembered forever; some are after money, and pursue mountains of gold and silver, and become rich enough to rival a country.

Over time, I was gradually assimilated by the rules of this world. Using fame to lure people and using profit to drive people away became almost my subconscious instinct and the only way for me to survive in the world.”

At this point, Huang Yuandong couldn't help but sigh softly, as if he felt a little regretful for his past paranoia and indifference.

Then, he straightened his back, with an unprecedented sincerity on his face: "However, I, Huang Yuandong, met a great man like Mr. Xiao today. You regard fame and fortune as dirt, and your state of mind is lofty and extraordinary. I am deeply shocked and realize how shallow and narrow-minded I was in the past.

Because of this, my previous offenses against Mr. Xiao were purely out of ignorance. I apologize willingly and without complaint. "

The old fox really lived up to his reputation. Coming from his mouth, these words not only seemed reasonable, but also cleverly wove a web that both praised Xiao Chen and justified himself.

There was a certain smoothness and sophistication in his words, as if every word had been carefully crafted, which not only reflected his respect for Xiao Chen, but also cleverly found a plausible excuse for his own mistake.

"It's not that I did anything wrong, but people in this world are just like this. They fight for fame and fortune just for these external things. So, I use money to drive them and enslave them. This is just following the law of human nature."

When Huang Yuandong said this, there was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes, and he seemed to be convinced of his own theory.

Then, he changed the subject, his tone full of admiration for Xiao Chen: "But you are a master, you are different from them! You use wisdom and realm, which cannot be bound by these mundane things. I treated you the way I treat ordinary people, which is naturally my fault. I am willing to apologize to you!"

However, Xiao Chen seemed to have seen through Huang Yuandong's tricks. His eyes were as cold as ice. He just glanced at Huang Yuandong indifferently, and his tone was full of disdain: "You are wrong, I am just an ordinary person. I not only like fame, but also like profit. I am not the extraordinary master in your eyes. In the final analysis, it's just that the benefits you give are not tempting enough. In this materialistic world, who can truly transcend?"

Xiao Chen's words revealed a clear understanding of reality and a complete denial of Huang Yuandong's hypocritical rhetoric. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through the deepest secrets and desires of people's hearts.

At this moment, Huang Yuandong's sophistry and excuses seemed so pale and powerless in front of Xiao Chen.

When Huang Yuandong heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, as if he was questioning whether he had heard it wrong.

"One hundred million is not enough? How is this possible..." He muttered to himself, with a hint of shock and confusion in his voice.

Then, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, as if he was struck by something, and he suddenly remembered the 10,000 low-grade spirit stones he had given to Jiang Liushan before.

With a start, he suddenly realized that he had given the wrong chips in this transaction, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Xiao Chen is a master, so naturally he doesn't think highly of those worldly dragon coins. What he needs are spirit stones, which are precious resources that are indispensable on the road to cultivation!" Huang Yuandong thought to himself, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

Thinking of this, he quickly adjusted his posture, bowed respectfully, and said with a bit of urgency and pleading in his tone: "Mr. Xiao, the 10,000 spirit stones that I promised to give to Jiang Liushan are now given to you. Please be sure to accept it to show my sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen simply glanced at him calmly, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips. His voice was calm and indifferent: "Originally it was possible, but now you have made mistakes again and again, and it is no longer something that can be solved with 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Prepare 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, and pay them off within a month."

"You!" There was a hint of disbelief in Daxiong's words. His eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Chen and Huang Yuandong. He was obviously shocked by Xiao Chen's request.

As a warrior, he is well aware of the importance of spirit stones to cultivation. Each spirit stone contains the essence of heaven and earth and is the best choice for improving cultivation and increasing strength.

A big shot like Huang Yuandong has a prominent position in society and extraordinary strength, but even he can only get 10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones in a year.

But now, Xiao Chen actually asked for a very high price of 50,000 yuan in one breath, and required that it be paid off within a month. This was simply challenging Huang Yuandong's bottom line.

Daxiong thought to himself: "This Xiao Chen is too greedy. Fifty thousand spirit stones is not a small amount. Is he treating Huang Yuandong as an ATM?" However, he did not dare to say these thoughts out loud. After all, Xiao Chen's strength was there, and no one dared to offend him easily.

Xiao Chen looked at Huang Yuandong's reaction, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. His voice was calm and indifferent, as if there was no emotion at all: "Don't use any morality or emotion to hold me hostage. You asked for this. If you don't want to, then go. I have things to do."
