My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen, however, had a look of disdain on his face. He slowly stretched out his hand and took the secret treasure elegantly and calmly. In his hand, the secret treasure seemed to have lost all its mystery and power, becoming just like an ordinary stone.

He waved his hand lightly, and his fingertips seemed to contain some unspeakable magic. The spiritual imprint that was originally flowing on the secret treasure suddenly shattered like fragile glass under his touch, and turned into points of light that dissipated in the air.

At the same time, in a hidden mountain somewhere in East City, an old man was concentrating with his eyes closed, as if sensing something. Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably. His face instantly became extremely horrified, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Someone actually broke my spiritual mark!" the old man muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief and horror.

He knew very well how powerful his spiritual mark was. Anyone who could easily erase it was definitely not an ordinary person. "It's troublesome. What kind of master did my disciple offend?" He muttered to himself, with a trace of worry and anxiety in his eyes.

The old man quickly calmed down, took out a slightly old mobile phone from his side, and dialed the number with trembling fingers. The phone rang, but no one answered, which made him even more anxious.

Here, the female bodyguard's cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket. She was startled, then quickly took out her cell phone and saw that it was the master's number on the screen. She was overjoyed, as if she saw hope of solving the problem.

She looked at Xiao Chen, with anger and helplessness in her eyes, but more of it was reliance and trust in her master: "My master already knows what happened here, you should return the things to me as soon as possible, and today's matter can be written off. Otherwise, if my master gets angry, I'm afraid you will all die."

There was a hint of threat in her words, but more of it was confidence and pride in her master's ability.

However, Xiao Chen just smiled faintly, as if he didn't take her threat seriously at all. His eyes were deep and cold, as if he had seen through all the thoughts and emotions in the female bodyguard's heart.

"Really? You'd better answer the phone and hear what he has to say." Xiao Chen's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

The female bodyguard snorted coldly, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in her voice, but more of a fear of the unknown that was about to come. "Don't cry until you see the coffin." She murmured to herself, and then, with a trembling finger, she pressed the answer button.

From the other end of the line came the master's extremely nervous voice. Every word sounded as if blown by the wind, with a sense of urgency and anxiety.

"My disciple, no matter who you have provoked, do not provoke them again. Those who can break the spiritual mark of my master are so powerful that it is easy for them to kill me. You must remember, never cause trouble again!"

The female bodyguard was stunned for a moment, with a look of unwillingness in her eyes, as if she was upset about her failure and incompetence. But more than that, she was deeply afraid. She could feel the seriousness and earnestness in her master's words, and she also knew that she, a mere female bodyguard, could never afford to offend someone who even her respected master was so afraid of.

She held the phone tightly, her fingers turning white from the force. She was silent for a moment, and finally, she slowly hung up the phone. The moment she hung up the phone, she seemed to have lost all her strength, lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she stopped talking.

Everything around seemed to be still, only the slightly trembling body of the female bodyguard told of her inner fear and anxiety. Xiao Chen stood there quietly, his eyes deep and indifferent, as if he was examining the female bodyguard, or thinking about something.

Although there are some rules and laws in this world, they are useless in front of the real strong. They can only provide a relatively stable living environment for the weak, but cannot protect them from the bullying and harm of the strong. If the weak insist on provoking the strong, the consequence is often death. This is the cruel law of this world, and it is also the deepest understanding of the female bodyguard at this moment.

"Zhang San, let's go!" Xiao Chen stood up, with an unquestionable determination in his tone. He gently patted the dust off his body, as if he was saying goodbye to an unnecessary entanglement.

He wanted to take this opportunity to give the Li family a rare opportunity to help them make further progress in the business world, but the other party obviously did not appreciate it. In this case, Xiao Chen was too lazy to waste his breath and turned to leave.

Just then, "Mr. Xiao, wait a moment!" A slightly hurried voice interrupted his steps. Li Haojie came back to his senses from the shock and shouted hurriedly.

His face was filled with anxiety and unwillingness, and his eyes were flashing with complex emotions, including fear of Xiao Chen's strength and regret for missing the opportunity.

Xiao Chen stopped and glanced at Li Haojie lightly. That look seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and hit the depths of the other person's soul.

"Do you still want to fight?" His voice was not loud, but it carried a majesty that should not be underestimated, as if as long as Li Haojie nodded, he would take action immediately and not give the other party any chance to breathe.

Li Haojie trembled when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand to deny:

"No, no, no, I was ungrateful before. I know Mr. Xiao's strength and methods are beyond our reach. If Mr. Xiao is willing, we can cooperate with you to deal with the Amei Group and work together for a common cause. No questions asked."

He lowered his head, his tone full of humility and sincerity, as if he was praying for a rare opportunity.

However, Xiao Chen's face did not show the slightest emotion. His eyes were still as cold as before, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth. That smile contained both mockery of Li Haojie's change of attitude and insistence on his own right to decide.

"My cooperation is not something you can get just because you want it, or give up just because you don't want it." Xiao Chen's voice was cold and firm, and every word was like an ice cone, piercing deeply into Li Haojie's heart.

He made his position clear and made Li Haojie understand that in this world, strength and status are the basis for everything.

"The entire Li family is willing to submit to Mr. Xiao!" Li Haojie knelt on the ground, his voice was hurried and sincere, as if he was afraid that he would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if he was a second late. His forehead was pressed against the ground, his posture was extremely humble, but his eyes were shining with a shrewd light.

"Although our martial arts strength is not as good as Mr. Xiao's, when it comes to business, my Li family is the best in the entire Haidong. Whether it is docks, shipping, real estate, or finance, we have deep resources and channels, and we can definitely help you!"

When he said this, he raised his head slightly and carefully observed Xiao Chen's expression. Seeing that the other party did not interrupt, he continued: "We will do whatever you ask us to do. As long as you say a word, the Li family will go all out and have no second thoughts!" (End of this chapter)
