My Ares Son-in-Law

"Brother Yan, look, someone left something here!" A sudden shout broke the silence around him and startled Yan Jin who was in deep thought.

He raised his head suddenly, looking in the direction of the sound with sharp eyes. He saw one of his men running over in a hurry, pointing at a large rock on the side of the road, with a look of fear and uneasiness on his face.

Yan Jin walked over quickly, his eyes fixed on the big stone. It stood firmly on the side of the road, as if silently telling something. Under the stone, there was a piece of paper, which was particularly eye-catching.

He squatted down and carefully picked up the note. On it were four big words written in blood: "The Yan family is finished!" The handwriting was vigorous and full of determination and cruelty. These four words seemed like a death sentence, and Yan Jin's heart sank suddenly.

What shocked him even more was that these four words were not hidden at all, but were deliberately written by hand. Moreover, they were written in blood! This naked provocation and threat made Yan Jin's face instantly become extremely gloomy.

He held the note tightly, his fingers turning slightly white due to the force. His eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to tear the note into pieces. However, he finally restrained his impulse and waved his hand, saying, "Take it for identification, and also test the DNA to see whose blood is on it."

Upon hearing this, the men immediately took the note respectfully and turned to leave. Their steps were quick and powerful, as if they were carrying out an important mission.

Looking at his men's backs as they left, Yan Jin felt even more depressed. He knew that the appearance of this note meant that all of his men had met with an unexpected disaster. Although he didn't know who the attacker was, it was most likely the guy named Xiao Chen.

Thinking of Xiao Chen, Yan Jin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He knew very well how powerful and cruel this man was, and he also knew that he had been watching him. Now, the appearance of this note was undoubtedly a serious warning to him.

Thinking of this, Yan Jin frowned, and a stubborn arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to concentrate all the resentment and anger in his heart into this simple action. Then, he took out his mobile phone without hesitation, slid his finger across the screen quickly, and finally dialed the number of the Third Master.

A low and steady voice came from the other end of the phone, with unquestionable majesty: "Done?" These three simple words seemed to contain a tremendous force, making people dare not neglect it in the slightest.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer: "Third Master, something happened." There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice. Obviously, this incident was a big blow to him.

On the other end of the phone, the Third Master's voice seemed to pause slightly, and then became more focused: "Speak."

Yan Jin gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. In the end, he decided to tell the truth: "The people I sent to capture Xiao Chen are all missing... They are most likely killed. The murderer also left a note..." At this point, his voice had become extremely low, as if every word carried an unspeakable weight.

The originally calm voice on the other end of the phone seemed to become hurried, with a hint of imperceptible panic: "What is written?" Although San Ye's voice was still calm, the emotional fluctuations in it were difficult to conceal. Obviously, this matter had touched his bottom line.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, as if he was gathering up his courage, and then slowly said, "The Yan family is finished!" He said these four words with great gravity, as if he was announcing the end of an era. After that, he quietly waited for the response from the Third Master, but he was already prepared for the worst outcome. "Humph!" The Third Master's cold snort on the other end of the phone was like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing Yan Jin's eardrums and striking his heart. The voice contained not only anger and disappointment, but also an indescribable sadness and helplessness.

"It's really a bad year. The people sent to kidnap Lin Youya are also missing... However, it is said that they were captured by the people of Yama Palace. At least they are still alive. I thought you would have good news, but I didn't expect the situation to be even worse."

Yan Jin's hand holding the phone was shaking slightly. He could feel the anger and disappointment in Third Master's words, as if he was the straw that was about to break and could fall into the endless abyss at any time.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage to say, "Third Master...I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

On the other end of the phone, the Third Master's voice became even colder: "Speak!" The word was short and powerful, like a heavy stone, pressing Yan Jin so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Yan Jin swallowed hard, making his voice sound more determined: "I suspect that the one who did this was Xiao Chen. Not only that, I also suspect that this Xiao Chen is a martial arts master. We underestimated him before, and he may be much stronger than we thought."

When saying this, Yan Jin's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, which was a fear of the unknown and awe of Xiao Chen's strength.

He continued, "From the fact that he was able to easily kill the people we sent and left a note like that, it can be seen that his methods were both cruel and cunning. Moreover, he does not seem to be afraid of becoming our enemy and may even be secretly planning a bigger conspiracy."

"Well, your analysis makes sense." On the other end of the phone, San Ye's voice carried a hint of imperceptible approval. He nodded slightly, as if to express his approval of Yan Jin's insight.

"In fact, when Mr. Jin asked us to do this, he reminded us that Xiao Chen might be quite powerful and asked us to be careful. But even he doesn't know how powerful he is." There was a hint of solemnity in the words of the Third Master. Obviously, he had a new understanding of Xiao Chen's strength.

Yan Jin felt relieved when he heard this on the other end of the phone. At least his analysis was recognized by the Third Master. He quietly waited for the Third Master's next instruction.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter for now," the Third Master said with a hint of determination, "I'll talk to the head of the family and see how to deal with it." After saying this, the Third Master hung up the phone, leaving Yan Jin alone staring at the black screen of his phone.

On the other end of the phone, after the Third Master hung up, he did not stand up immediately. He sat there with a deep gaze, as if he was thinking about some important issue. The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind outside the window breaking the silence. (End of this chapter)
