My Ares Son-in-Law

Sophie looked around nervously. Those who were repelled by Xiao Chen gathered again not far away. There was unwillingness and ferocity in their eyes, just like a group of hungry wolves, ready to pounce again at any time.

Sophie's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her hands subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes. Worry was like a surging tide, completely drowning her.

She was filled with fear, afraid that Xiao Chen would get hurt in this dangerous situation. If Xiao Chen got into trouble because of her, she felt that she would spend the rest of her life in pain and self-blame, and this fear made her almost breathless.

"Don't worry about me, just leave, those people are too powerful!" Sophie suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice became hoarse and broken due to anxiety and fear. Her face was covered with tears, but her eyes were full of determination.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to let Xiao Chen leave safely. She would rather bear all the dangers alone than let Xiao Chen get hurt.

Even though she knew that Xiao Chen's concern for her might just be a friend and there was no romantic relationship between them, deep in her heart, her gratitude towards Xiao Chen had already entangled her like a vine, and unknowingly, love for him had quietly taken root in her heart.

This emotion made her put Xiao Chen's safety first without hesitation at this moment, even if it meant giving up everything she had.

Xiao Chen stared at the frightened Sophie, his eyes flashed with tenderness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a confident smile bloomed, his voice was low and steady, like the warm sun in spring, dispelling the haze in Sophie's heart: "Don't be afraid, they are just a few minions, in front of me, they can't cause any trouble. Just stay here safely, don't leave. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Sophie looked at Xiao Chen, and listened to his decisive words. Her heart, which had been beating wildly, gradually calmed down. Her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her, and a strange sense of security surged in her heart, as if as long as Xiao Chen was by her side, she would not be afraid even if the sky fell and the earth collapsed.

"Boy, do you know what a stupid thing you have done?" A violent voice suddenly sounded like thunder.

Following the sound, I saw a burly man walking slowly from the opposite side. He was wearing a washed-out denim jacket, and his neck and cheeks were covered with tattoos. The tattoos were like a three-headed poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, flashing a cold luster in the sunlight, ferocious and terrifying, making people shudder.

Xiao Chen raised his head calmly, his eyes as calm as water, and looked coldly at the tattooed man. He opened his thin lips and let out a mocking chuckle: "Of course I know what I did. It's just a very ordinary thing - saving people." The voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the air, carrying unquestionable power.

"If you save her, you will completely offend Haidong Grand Tutor Cai Lin! Today, you can't escape even if you have wings!" The tattooed man took a big step forward, the muscles on his face twisted with anger, roaring viciously, spitting.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to take action, do it quickly. Don't waste time here." Xiao Chen's face was full of disdain. He raised his chin slightly and hooked his index finger provocatively. He looked so nonchalant, as if the tattooed man in front of him was just an insignificant little reptile.

The tattooed man looked at Xiao Chen's wanton attitude, and the anger in his heart suddenly jumped to the top of his head. Veins popped out on his forehead. He sneered, and clenched his fists instantly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

In an instant, a visible force surged through his body, causing ripples in the air around him. Every muscle was tense as a string, ready to go. After a brief stalemate, the tattooed man stomped his foot on the ground, and the ground cracked instantly. His figure was like a cannonball, shooting straight towards Xiao Chen. During the rush, his palms were slightly bent, like a pair of sharp eagle claws, and his ten sharp nails flashed with cold light, as if they could easily tear apart anything that blocked them.

When he was only half a meter away from Xiao Chen, the tattooed man suddenly stopped, and his right claw drew a strange arc in the air, as fast as lightning, heading straight for Xiao Chen's throat. At the same time, a deafening roar burst out from his mouth: "Three Snake Claws!" The wind from the claws whistled, as if to cut the surrounding air into pieces.

Xiao Chen's expression was stern, like a lonely moon hanging in the cold night. His eyes were fixed on the tattooed man's claws that were attacking him as swiftly as a vicious snake emerging from a hole. His eyes were calm, as if the fatal attack before him was just a breeze that could not cause any ripples.

His movements were slow and steady, and every detail revealed his calmness and confidence. He slowly raised his hand, and that posture seemed to be controlling the fate of all things in the world.

The palm, which was originally slightly curled, suddenly stretched out like a thunderclap. A storm seemed to gather in the palm, and an overwhelming and powerful thrust was like a sleeping ancient beast suddenly awakening, rushing out with a destructive momentum.

This horrific force that came without warning, like the creation of the universe, exploded in front of the tattooed man like a heavy bomb. The tattooed man's face instantly turned as pale as paper, just like dry grass suddenly attacked by frost, without any blood.

The originally arrogant, ferocious and fierce face was now completely distorted by fear and despair, and it looked as if the messenger from hell had appeared.

His body was like being hit head-on by a high-speed train. He flew backwards uncontrollably, and his feet left two shocking deep grooves on the ground. Each mark seemed to tell of the horror of this power.

He retreated more than ten steps in panic, raising a cloud of dust with each step, like the smoke rising from a battlefield. Only at the last moment did he manage to steady himself, but he was already in a terrible state, with his chest heaving violently and gasping for breath, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness of surviving a disaster.

Cai Lin's men, who originally had an arrogant attitude, witnessed this thrilling scene and the expressions on their faces froze instantly, as if they were cast under a spell.

Their eyes were wide open with disbelief, their mouths were open as wide as if an egg could be stuffed in, shock and fear were like a surging tide, completely drowning them.

In their hearts, the tattooed man has always been a powerful backer that they rely on and an invincible existence. But now, he was defeated so easily by Xiao Chen, which made their inner defenses collapse instantly. Fear spread wildly in their hearts like wildfire, and everyone's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Sophie, who was standing by, was originally nervous, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, her heart in her throat. Seeing this scene, she was slightly startled at first, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth rose, blooming a bright and moving smile. (End of this chapter)
