My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. He didn't even bother to kill these warriors. He only needed to wave his hand lightly to turn them into ashes.

But at this moment, he didn't want to alarm anyone and just wanted to complete his task quietly.

Then, Xiao Chen's figure flashed, as if he merged into the void. The next moment, his figure appeared in Bai Maogong's room.

This kind of invisibility is as easy as pie for him. Even if he wants, walking through walls is just a piece of cake for him.

In the room, under the dim light, Bai Maogong stood alone in front of a wall covered with all kinds of stickers.

The stickers are of different sizes, some have turned yellow, while others are still brand new. They are densely covered with photos and handwritten texts, like an intricate and carefully planned revenge painting, outlining a huge and twisted blueprint for revenge.

Xiao Chen's eyes shuttled between these stickers, and his eyes gradually became solemn. These stickers not only recorded the past grievances, but also hid the unspeakable secrets and obsessions deep in Bai Maogong's heart.

It was not until his eyes fell on a yellowed old photo that everything became clear - in this photo, Bai Maogong's father had a look of resentment on his face, while Lin Youya's grandfather stood opposite him with a smile of victory on his face.

After seeing this thing, Xiao Chen suddenly realized why Bai Maogong was so relentless in pursuing Lin Youya and was determined to kill her.

It turns out that the root of all this stems from a business competition many years ago.

From the text descriptions on the stickers, Xiao Chen pieced together what had happened: Back then, Bai Maogong's father and Lin Youya's grandfather were in a tit-for-tat relationship in the business world, and ultimately Bai's father lost in this fierce competition, and in a fit of anger he fell ill and died.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but shook his head, feeling an inexplicable irony and helplessness in his heart.

In his opinion, business competition is a war without the smoke of gunpowder. Victory and defeat are common in the military. How can one be angry to death after losing?
What's more, passing on the hatred to the next generation and even ruining the opponent's granddaughter at all costs is simply extremely sick behavior.

A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He knew very well that being an enemy of such a person would undoubtedly be a long and difficult battle.

"Father, your spirit in heaven must bless my plan to be a complete success." Bai Maogong's voice was low and full of piety, as if he was having a soul-to-soul conversation with his father in another world.

He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and a look of determination and fanaticism appeared on his face. "Not only can I successfully defeat the Lin Group and make Lin Yue and Lin Youya lose miserably, but I will also seize the priceless treasure that they have treasured for generations."

When mentioning the treasure, a gleam of greed flashed in Bai Maogong's eyes, as if he had already seen it lying in his hands.

His clenched fists were shaking unconsciously with excitement as he continued, "Back then, you tried to bring down Lin Yue at all costs for the sake of that treasure, but you were defeated by him instead, and your family fell into decline. But please rest assured, your son will complete your unfinished business and avenge you!" A cold smile appeared on Bai Maogong's lips, and in that smile there was a desire for revenge for the past and an infinite longing for the future.

His words revealed an unquestionable firmness: "That damn Xiao Chen has obstructed my plans time and time again, causing me to fail. However, you can rest assured that he will not survive today. I have sent Qiu Dao and all his men to deal with him. Xiao Chen will not be able to escape this time and will definitely die!"

At this point, Bai Maogong's expression became more ferocious, as if he had seen the scene of Xiao Chen lying in a pool of blood. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness and madness, which was an extreme desire for power and a ruthless determination to deal with obstacles.

At this moment, Bai Maogong seemed to no longer be the businessman who had struggled in the business world, but a madman who was completely consumed by the fire of revenge.

"Haha, who are you going to kill?" Xiao Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room, with a hint of amusement and disdain. As the words fell, he slowly lifted the invisibility spell, and his figure gradually appeared under the light, like a sudden shadow, which made Bai Maogong tremble violently.

Bai Maogong's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes widened, full of fear and disbelief.

He looked around. The doors and windows were closed and intact. The bodyguards outside should be on high alert, but Xiao Chen appeared in his private territory silently like a ghost. How could he not be afraid?
"How...how did you get in!" Bai Maogong's voice became sharp due to fear. He stepped back repeatedly, almost bumping into the bookshelf behind him. In desperation, he shouted: "Someone! There's an assassin!" There was a bit of desperation in his voice, as if this was his only life-saving straw.

However, all he got in response was dead silence. The corridor outside was empty, and the bodyguards seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, turning a deaf ear to the shouts from inside the room. Bai Maogong's voice echoed in the empty room, but it only brought deeper despair.

Xiao Chen leisurely lit a cigarette, blew out a perfect smoke ring, and then slowly sat down on the sofa in the room.

He crossed his legs and looked at Bai Maogong with a calm but sharp gaze, as if he was watching an insignificant performance.

"You don't need to waste your time," he said calmly, "Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, the people outside won't be able to hear you. Regarding our matter, let's not let those innocent people outside die. I don't want to commit any more murders either."

Xiao Chen's words were calm and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Bai Maogong's heart.

He knew that he was in a desperate situation, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape Xiao Chen's control. Fear and despair intertwined, making his face even paler, as if he would fall down at any time.

However, Bai Maogong obviously did not believe what Xiao Chen said. His heart was filled with resentment and anger. He turned around and suddenly picked up the water cup on the table and threw it towards the window with all his strength, as if he wanted to vent all his fear and despair on this small cup.

However, the cup of water stopped strangely in mid-air, as if it was tightly held by an invisible hand and could not touch the window at all.

This scene instantly made Bai Maogong's face look extremely ugly. He widened his eyes, full of disbelief and fear, and the last bit of luck in his heart was completely shattered. He understood that he was completely under Xiao Chen's control at this moment, and he could neither run away nor call for help. (End of this chapter)
