My Ares Son-in-Law

At this moment, Jiang Yixiu's voice was obviously trembling, and her tone was full of disbelief, as if she still couldn't accept the fact that Xiao Chen was about to leave.

"All good things must come to an end. This is an irrefutable truth from ancient times to the present. You and I know it very well. It is only a matter of time before I leave this place. After all, in this vast world, there are many more important things that even concern the fate of all people in the world, waiting for me to complete."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he looked firmly into the distance. His deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pond, as if they had the power to penetrate everything. The layers of tall buildings seemed to have become nothingness in his sight.

He seemed to have seen a wider world, where he had to shoulder the mission and responsibility. Although facing Jiang Yixue's unconcealed reluctance, his heart was also rippled, like a small stone breaking the tranquility of a calm lake, he knew very well how heavy the mission on his shoulders was.

Deep in his mind, tragic scenes kept appearing like a revolving lantern: countless human warriors in armor, fighting bravely on the battlefield filled with flames and smoke, their blood dyeing the earth red;
Among them, the figure of his brave and fearless father was particularly eye-catching, his upright figure stood firm in the hail of bullets, using his life to protect the world and the country they loved so much. In comparison, all that he did was really not worth mentioning.

"It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person. I can't help you at all in this turbulent world you've experienced." Jiang Yixiu sighed deeply and helplessly, and that sigh seemed to carry endless regrets.

A trace of inferiority and regret quietly appeared in her eyes, just like a flower that was once delicate and beautiful, but after experiencing the baptism of wind and rain, it lost its former brilliance. Although she was well-known in the Eastern Region on weekdays, known as one of the top ten geniuses, she would become the focus of everyone's attention wherever she went, and was a proud daughter of heaven in the eyes of everyone.

However, at this moment, when she really stood in front of Xiao Chen and compared it with Xiao Chen's legendary and magnificent experience, she deeply realized that everything she once took pride in, in Xiao Chen's world, was like a faint star in the night sky, so small and dim in front of the dazzling galaxy, and really meant nothing.

"The old man next to you is quite strong. Do you know his origins?" Xiao Chen's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. His originally deep eyes seemed to hide endless secrets at this moment, and a glimmer of curiosity flashed in them. He suddenly changed the subject, and his tone was full of inquiry.

"You mean my grandfather?" Jiang Yixue was slightly startled, and her originally disappointed expression was instantly replaced by surprise. However, after just a second, she reacted, and a proud look quickly appeared on her face, like a child showing off his most precious treasure to others.

"He is indeed powerful. In our area, even those warriors from the Holy Land who are usually arrogant have to be respectful and polite when they see my grandfather. They dare not be rash or provoke him easily. According to my grandfather himself, he is a disciple of a famous sect in the Penglai Holy Land."

She paused slightly, her eyes sparkling with longing, that light was like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating her slightly dim face.

Then, she continued with great interest: "Grandpa also said that the reason why he can achieve such success today is to a certain extent due to the help of the War God King. After all, the War God King's lover Jiang Meng is the ancestor of our Jiang family. Moreover, Grandpa has long planned to take me to that sect to practice. Maybe when I learn something there, I can really become stronger, and then I will be able to help you..."

However, at the end, her voice gradually lowered, and the original light in her eyes dimmed a little, as if she still did not have enough confidence in her ability, or perhaps under Xiao Chen's powerful aura, she always felt that her power was too insignificant. "I see, since he is your grandfather, then there is no problem. I was worried that you were deceived by some weird old man." Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a teasing smile flashed in his eyes. The smile seemed to be a bit childish, making him look more friendly.

As he spoke, he gently patted Jiang Yixue's shoulder, as if to give her a sense of reassurance. Then, he followed Jiang Yixue with a brisk pace, and walked towards the hotel where they were going to talk.

At this time, pedestrians were coming and going on the street, and vehicles were flowing continuously, but Xiao Chen's mind was completely focused on the upcoming cooperation negotiation. He secretly wondered what conditions the other party would put forward and how he should assist Jiang Yixiu.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel. The hotel was towering into the sky, with a modern and stylish exterior design, and the glass curtain wall reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.

As they entered the hotel lobby, they were greeted by the luxurious decoration style, the dazzling crystal chandeliers, and the gleaming marble floor. Jiang Yixue and Xiao Chen followed the instructions and walked straight to the reserved box. Before they opened the door, they could hear the faint sound of conversation coming from inside.

When they opened the door, they saw a young man sitting in the box. He had been waiting for a long time and stood up quickly when he saw them come in. The young man was wearing a well-cut high-end suit and his hair was meticulously groomed, and every strand of hair seemed to have been carefully designed, making him look particularly energetic.

His facial features are clearly defined, and his eyes and eyebrows reveal a sense of confidence and assertiveness. At least after being dressed up so carefully, he has the elegant temperament of a handsome young man in ancient costume dramas.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Xiong!" The young man raised his chin slightly, with a confident smile on his lips. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook hands lightly with Jiang Yixiu. The strength of the handshake was just right, showing his enthusiasm without losing his sense of propriety.

Afterwards, he turned to Xiao Chen, but when shaking hands, his eyes did not linger on Xiao Chen for too long. He just glanced at him quickly and then turned his attention back to Jiang Yixiu. His expression seemed to imply that Xiao Chen was just an insignificant foil.

But in a flash, Yang Xiong couldn't wait to get to the point and talked about cooperation with Jiang Yixiu.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with eagerness, and his tone was full of unquestionable confidence: "We don't want anything else, we just hope that the Aramco headquarters including the ownership of the land can be sold to us, how about it?" As he spoke, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he had already won. (End of this chapter)
