My Ares Son-in-Law

"Hahahaha!" Cai Lin suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud. The laughter was arrogant and wanton, as if it could break through the oppressive dome, shaking the crystal chandeliers in the hall slightly.

He laughed wildly and opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, his face full of madness and greed.

"You are so naive and childish, just like a child who knows nothing about the world. Have you ever carefully examined the current world? Humanity has already embarked on the end of the road, and the light of hope for the future has been extinguished. It won't be long before the real gods will come to this land with great force. By then, you weak and incompetent humans will become ants that are enslaved by others.

And I, relying on my loyalty to the gods, will become their most capable assistant and enjoy supreme power and honor. If you know what's good for you and cooperate with me, you will surely enjoy wealth and glory in the future, isn't that wonderful?" His eyes flashed with fanatical light, which was the madness that was completely swallowed up by power and desire.

"Psycho!" Sophie gritted her teeth and squeezed out these three words, her eyes full of disgust and disdain. Although she didn't know who the so-called "God Clan" that Cai Lin mentioned was, she had heard Xiao Chen mention the Prison Clan.

They were a mysterious and evil race. In the secular world, they proclaimed themselves as gods, and bewitched humans who were blinded by greed, turning them into their running dogs. They were despised by the world and were called "prisoners."

Looking at Cai Lin, who was completely twisted by madness and greed, Sophie had a strong premonition in her heart. She was certain that Cai Lin had become a minion of the Prison Clan. In order to satisfy his own inflated desires, he was willing to betray the entire human race and commit such heinous crimes.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Xiao Chen would come as soon as possible like a god, to save her from the endless dark abyss, and to bring a ray of light to this world shrouded in darkness, to dispel the evil and haze as thick as ink.

Cai Lin had a creepy smile on his face, which seemed to carry a thousand-year-old smell of decay. He looked at Sophie with contempt and said, "Humph, you ignorant fool, it doesn't matter if you can't understand it now. In my eyes, you are just a tool to open that treasure."

He raised his head slightly, his nose pointed upwards, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain, and then waved his hand impatiently, "Take her away and lock her up in a place that is impregnable. When I return from the Supreme God, I will start to open this treasure."

After saying this, Cai Lin stood up and slowly adjusted his black robe. His movements were full of ritual, as if he was performing a sacred sacrifice.

Every movement he made revealed a sense of self-importance, as if the world was under his control. Then, he walked away leisurely with steady and conceited steps, his footsteps echoing in the empty hall and gradually disappearing at the end of the dark corridor, like the footsteps of death going away.

Cai Lin's men immediately surrounded them like wolves and tigers. The leader was a tall, fleshy guy with fierce eyes, like a mad beast. He grabbed Sophie's arm and said viciously: "Go! Don't play tricks on me!"

Sophie struggled desperately, her eyes burning with anger, and she shouted, "You bastards, let me go!" But her resistance seemed so powerless in front of these wolf-like men. Her feet slid in vain on the ground and she was dragged towards the passage leading to the underground.

In the dark corner of the hall, the secret agents of the God of War Alliance were watching all this nervously. They pressed against the wall, their bodies trembling slightly due to tension and anxiety.

The forehead of one of the spies was covered with fine beads of sweat. He lowered his voice and said anxiously: "What should we do? We are not good at fighting. Several brothers we sent before have already sacrificed their lives. If we rush out, we will die in vain." Another spy gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness: "But if we watch Miss Su being taken away, how are we going to explain when we go back?" Their faces were full of helplessness and struggle, and the torment in their hearts made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Just when they were extremely conflicted and decided to fight to the death, a gust of wind suddenly swept over like a roar from the abyss of hell.

The wind howled as if it was going to tear the whole world apart. The tables and chairs in the hall were blown all over the place, and the chandelier shook violently, making a "creaking" sound, as if it would fall at any time.

The spies subconsciously covered their heads with their hands and squinted their eyes to block the blowing sand. When the strong wind gradually subsided, they slowly opened their eyes, and the scene in front of them shocked them so much that they stood there in shock.

The seven or eight men of Cai Lin who were ferocious just now were now lying in a pool of blood, with blood flowing freely on the ground, forming a horrible sea of ​​blood. And Sophie was being held tightly in the arms of a man.

That person was Xiao Chen, his plain cloth clothes fluttering gently in the wind, his sleeves rustling. His hair was still flying in the afterglow of the strong wind, and his eyes were filled with a bottomless coldness, as if he could see through all evil.

His appearance was like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, instantly brightening up the entire hall. Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly and whispered to Sophie, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Although his voice was soft, it was full of reassuring power.

The dim light struggled in the thick night, barely tearing open a corner of the darkness, but also making the shadows more bizarre. The pungent smell of rust and damp musty air intertwined, permeating every inch of the air.

"Xiao Chen!" Sophie's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice trembling uncontrollably. The cry hit the empty walls and kept echoing, as if it was her last hope in despair.

She never dreamed that at this critical moment, Xiao Chen would appear before her without any warning, like a ray of light breaking through the darkness. Xiao Chen was agile and determined, and with a few quick moves, he forced back those who threatened her and successfully saved her.

Looking at the familiar and reliable figure in front of her, Sophie's heart seemed to be overturned, with all kinds of feelings intertwined.

She was touched like a warm current, flowing slowly in her heart. She recalled how patiently Xiao Chen had helped her solve problems before. Whenever she encountered difficulties, Xiao Chen would always appear at the first time. Those scenes were like slides, constantly playing in her mind.

But at the same time, guilt was like a sharp thorn, piercing my heart.

If she hadn't been impulsive and had to come alone to confront Cai Lin, how could she have put Xiao Chen in such a dangerous situation? She knew very well that Xiao Chen came here to protect her regardless of the danger. This self-blame made her want to go back to the past and change her rash decision. (End of this chapter)
