My Ares Son-in-Law

As Tom Zhang spoke, he tilted his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed Jiang Yixiu's reaction, like a vicious cat playing with its prey.

When Jiang Yixiu heard this, her face turned pale instantly, and her originally rosy lips also lost their color.

Her eyes were wide open, full of fear and worry. She fumbled around for her phone, her hands trembling slightly from nervousness, and she almost dropped the phone. After finally holding the phone steady, she quickly dialed her father's number, her fingers tapping quickly on the screen.

After the call, Jiang Yixue's face was extremely gloomy, like the gray sky before a storm. She bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth almost embedded in her flesh, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly. Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and the hand holding the phone fell down weakly.

Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, his eyes showing no blame, only understanding. "Go ahead, saving your family is more important. I only protect my allies. Your Jiang family is unwilling to join forces with me, so I did not send anyone to protect them."

His voice was calm, but it carried an irresistible force. He raised his head slightly, looking into the distance with a firm gaze, as if telling Jiang Yixiu that he understood her choice.

Jiang Yixue raised her head and glanced at Xiao Chen. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, with gratitude and guilt. She nodded gently, and then left the venue in a hurry with the old man beside her. Her back looked a little embarrassed, and her steps were flustered, as if there was a flood of beasts chasing her from behind.

Tom Zhang looked at Jiang Yixue's departing back, his face becoming even more smug, his mouth corners raised high, forming an exaggerated arc. "Now, you have one less ally, are you still going to continue?" He turned his gaze to Xiao Chen again, his eyes full of provocation, as if waiting for Xiao Chen to back down.

"Even if there are no allies, so what? I've said it before, I can deal with you all by myself!" Xiao Chen's eyes were extremely calm, his deep pupils were like a bottomless cold pool, without the slightest tension or panic.

He stood there tall and straight, like a pine tree, standing firm despite the howling wind. He raised his chin slightly and met Tom Zhang's gaze firmly, as if announcing his determination to the entire Ami Group.

"Still bluffing?" Tom Zhang shook his head in disbelief, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

He cast his gaze towards Zhao Liangren and Cheng Yi, with a hint of threat in his eyes. "You two families are the only ones left here. I tell you the truth, Xiao Chen will die after today, and you two families will have no chance. So, I advise you not to stand on the same boat with him, otherwise, you will be finished too."

As he spoke, he took a small step forward, clasped his hands over his chest, and leaned forward slightly, trying to use this oppressive posture to make Zhao Liangren and Cheng Yi surrender.

Before Mr. Zhao could speak, Zhao Chuanshen suddenly sneered, his laughter full of disdain.

He took a step forward, held his head high, looked at Tom Zhang with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "Dr. Xiao has cured my years of madness. Even if everyone in the world abandons him, I will not. You don't have to talk nonsense. Today, I will definitely stand on the side of Dr. Xiao."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes flashed with determination, as if declaring to Tom Zhang his determination not to back down.

"So do I!" Cheng Yi looked calm, and although his tone was indifferent, he clearly showed his determination. He closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past, and then he slowly spoke: "Dr. Xiao saved my life. Back then, I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and it was Dr. Xiao who, regardless of his own safety, spent countless precious medicinal materials to pull me back from the brink of death.

If I abandon him now, how can I live in the world in the future? Moreover, don't think that I don't know anything. Whether it's me or Zhao Chuanshen, we have actually fallen into the calculations of your Amei Group. Just because our two families don't want to collude with you, you secretly attacked us.

First, they ambushed me while I was out, causing me to be seriously injured; then, they made things difficult for Zhao Chuanshen’s business, causing his family business to suffer heavy losses.”

As he spoke, Cheng Yi stared straight at Tom Zhang with a gaze as sharp as a torch, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to turn every bit of the humiliation he had suffered in the past few days into a sharp blade and stab the culprit in front of him fiercely.

"Today, this blood feud must be avenged! Even if we fail in the end, it's just a death. What is there to be afraid of!" Cheng Yi raised his chin slightly, his voice sonorous and powerful, echoing continuously in this tense and suffocating meeting hall.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his feet firmly rooted in the ground, like an unshakable towering mountain. He exuded a fearless aura, as if he had put life and death aside, with only the belief of revenge burning in his heart, the flames burning more and more, illuminating his determined face.

"Okay, okay!" Tom threw his head back and laughed. The laughter was wild and wanton, echoing in the meeting hall, full of sarcasm.

"Since you are stubborn, I won't waste my words. Lord Succubus, they only have so many men left. Isn't it time for you to take care of them?"

Tom Zhang smiled, turned slightly sideways, with a flattering smile on his face, and spoke respectfully towards a dark corner of the venue.

There was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of Xiao Chen and others being instantly defeated by the succubus and falling in a pool of blood. As he thought about it, the smugness on his face became more and more obvious, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.

As Tom Zhang finished speaking, a thick black fog surged in from all directions, as if to swallow up the entire space.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the succubus's graceful figure slowly emerged from the mist, her blood-red eyes flashing with a captivating light, a cold curve at the corner of her mouth, and she stood proudly in front.

Behind the succubus, twelve masters including Lanxue and Tianwuzi lined up in a row, with amazing momentum. Lanxue was emitting a faint blue halo, which was the manifestation of his bloodline power. With every step he took, the ground shook faintly, as if it was afraid of his power.

Tian Wuzi was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, with deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. The Taoist charm flowing from his body was awe-inspiring.

“That’s Tian Wuzi from the Xuantian Temple in the capital!” Zhao Chuanshen’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling a little, “I heard that he has been in seclusion for many years and has already comprehended the most powerful Taoism in the world. His Tai Chi swordsmanship is so superb that he can cut off all the illusions in the world!” (End of this chapter)
