My Ares Son-in-Law

As an assaulter, Ajie was the pioneer of the team. At this moment, he was concentrating on his mission and didn't realize that danger was approaching. Bullets whizzed and hit his armor as if they had eyes.

In an instant, Ajie's armor flashed a dazzling red light, and the flashing light seemed like a signal light of death.

Then, a cold electronic prompt sounded mercilessly in the air: "The first casualty has been born." This brief and cruel announcement, like a heavy boulder, hit the hearts of every teammate.

This sudden change made everyone feel shocked and sad. Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief and grief, and their mouths were slightly open, as if they wanted to say something, but they were choked in their throats and could not make any sound.

Some teammates even stood there in a daze, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they had not yet recovered from this cruel reality. However, the battlefield was so ruthless that it did not allow for any hesitation or sentimentality.

The war will not be suspended because of their emotions, and the enemy will not show mercy because of their grief. Everyone understands that the battle must continue, and they must quickly get out of this grief and devote themselves to the next battle.

The old cat's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He clenched his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot due to anger and anxiety, and the veins on his forehead were bulging due to excessive force.

His brain was working rapidly, analyzing this sudden change. Soon, he realized that this raid was no accident, but a conspiracy carefully planned by the opponent.

Zhang Yu, that cunning and bold guy, actually gave up the terrain advantage they originally occupied and personally led three team members to launch a surprise attack from the flank.

This was undoubtedly an extremely bold and risky tactic, but it must be admitted that at this critical moment, it achieved unexpected results.

Not far away, Zhao Chunhua's eyes sparkled with excitement after seeing this scene. She had a smug smile on her face, as if to say, "See, I knew it would be like this."

She couldn't wait to look at Jiang Yixiu again, deliberately raised her voice, and said loudly: "Oh, although I don't know what Xiao Chen is like, he is really spineless! If the old cat doesn't let him take charge, he really doesn't care about anything and hides in the back like a turtle."

Her words were full of sarcasm and contempt, and every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Jiang Yixiu's heart.

Jiang Yixue's face was already grim because of the tense situation, and when she heard what Zhao Chunhua said, her face became even uglier. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

She had never expected something like this to happen. She originally thought that as long as their team remained united, there might be a glimmer of hope of defeating Zhang Yu's team.

But now, there was an internal conflict within the team, which undoubtedly made their already difficult situation even worse. Jiang Yixue felt mixed emotions, worried about the future of the team and angry at Zhao Chunhua's sarcasm.

Seeing Jiang Yixue standing there silently with an increasingly ugly face, Zhao Chunhua felt even more proud. She felt like she had won a battle and finally regained her position. She stood there with her hands on her hips, her mouth slightly raised, looking at Jiang Yixue with a provocative look, as if she was declaring her victory, as if she had stepped hard on Jiang Yixue, and then felt at ease enjoying the pleasure of this so-called "victory".

The spacious and bright competition venue was packed with spectators, whose eyes were all focused on the tense scene in the center of the arena. Then, the venue seemed to be in an uproar, with voices of discussion rising one after another.

In a corner of the audience, a slightly fat middle-aged man in a casual T-shirt curled his lips and said with disdain, "The game hasn't even officially started yet, and it's already over. This captain named Xiao Chen is a joke. Look, he can't even control his vice-captain. He is such a failure as a captain."

"Hey, you're absolutely right!"

A young man wearing a baseball cap nearby nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Not far away, several people dressed in fashionable office clothes gathered together. One of them, a well-mannered man wearing black-framed glasses, pushed his glasses up and analyzed with a sly look in his eyes:
"Maybe he did it on purpose. He must know in his heart that no matter how hard he tries, he can't beat Zhang Yu and the others in this game. So he might as well just give up and lie down. After all, Zhang Yu is a recognized master here, and he is not so easy to be defeated. If Xiao Chen makes such a fuss, he can find an excuse to exonerate himself if he loses the game."

His companions all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and some couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your analysis really makes sense."

"Hey, I think so too." A chuckle came from the crowd. It was from a young man with yellow hair and a casual look on his face. He put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was just looking for fun.

At this time, the gambling area was also very lively. A man who looked like a wealthy businessman, dressed in fancy clothes and exuding the smell of money, said loudly with a smug look on his face:
"I bought 200,000 yuan and just thought of it as a way to make some pocket money. It's as easy as picking up money for free!"

He stretched out his hand, which was covered with several large gold rings, and gestured casually in the air.

Another middle-aged man in a neat suit and with a calm temperament replied unyieldingly: "I bet one million. If I win, I can make a little more!" As he spoke, a greedy smile appeared on his face.

Most of the gamblers who participated in the betting were all smiling, their tense nerves relaxed at this moment, as if they had seen a lot of money flying towards them. After all, they basically all bet on Zhang Yu's team to win, and in this seemingly one-sided bet, only a few people bet on Xiao Chen.

However, the few people who bet on Xiao Chen to win had a completely different scene. Most of them stared at the stadium, their heartbeats speeding up with the situation on the field, and their faces were full of tension and anxiety.

Among them were young men with sharp eyes, whose hands unconsciously clenched the corners of their clothes; there were also middle-aged men with firm eyes and beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Fortunately, they were glad that they didn't bet much money on Xiao Chen, so even if they lost this round, they wouldn't be too sad. However, their furrowed brows and worried expressions still revealed their uneasiness. (End of this chapter)
