My Ares Son-in-Law

Huang Ting roared at the top of his lungs, his voice so sharp that it seemed to cut through the air, echoing back and forth in this spacious and luxuriously decorated restaurant, shaking the surrounding crystal chandeliers slightly.

When Xiao Chen heard this, a hint of contempt like a cold star flashed in his deep eyes. That look was like a real sharp blade, stabbing coldly towards Huang Ting.

He still sat there so nonchalantly, with no intention of looking at Huang Ting a second time.

“Don’t scream there, if you really care about this kid, come and save him! You don’t even dare to try, and you can only make noise on the side. You call me Haohan Valley, it’s so funny, so you are such heroes! When disaster strikes, everyone flees. If you treat your brothers like this, don’t call yourself heroes. I think it’s more appropriate to call you Wolf Valley, hahahaha!”

The laughter was unbridled and wild, as if it would break through the constraints of the restaurant and spread throughout the world. The mockery contained in it was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Huang Ting's heart. Huang Ting's face instantly turned pale and red, as brilliant as a color palette.

"And that useless little girl from the Oracle Gate, she's shouting so loudly, as if she's so powerful. But in the end she doesn't even dare to make a move, she just chirps there like a crow, isn't it shameful!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, his eyes shot towards Shen Lingling like a flash of lightning.

Shen Lingling, who had originally been as proud as a swan, trembled slightly under the impact of this gaze, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

A flash of panic flashed across her originally fair face, but the pride she had developed over the years allowed her to quickly adjust herself. She pretended to be calm, snorted coldly, and deliberately turned her head to the side, trying to cover up her inner panic.

In the restaurant, the reactions of the onlookers were like boiling water.

Some of them opened their eyes wide and their mouths as wide as if an egg could be stuffed in, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if everything happening before their eyes was an absurd farce; others leaned close to the ears of the people next to them, whispering about Xiao Chen's background. For a moment, the restaurant was filled with tiny whispers.

"This kid is going to trample the faces of the Hero Valley and the Oracle Gate under his feet today!" An old man in a gray robe stroked his long beard with his hands, frowned, shook his head and sighed, his words full of shock and helplessness about this conflict.

"What is the origin of this kid? No name or sect? Is it true or false? He has no background, no strength, and how dare he do this?" A young cultivator in the crowd had a puzzled look on his face and his eyes were full of confusion. Although his voice was small, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the crowd. Everyone nodded and agreed with his question.

Wait, it doesn’t seem right to say that I have no ability, and it doesn’t seem right to say that I have no background either.

Look at the heads of the Zhao, Cheng, and Jiang families in East City, who are now standing respectfully behind Xiao Chen, with upright postures but a bit of humility. Their expressions are full of awe, and their eyes follow Xiao Chen closely, as if Xiao Chen is the supreme being in their hearts.

Although these three are indeed inferior to the Oracle Sect with a profound foundation, they are in no way inferior to the Hero Valley.

The Zhao family is good at business and has business bases all over the Eastern Region. They are financially strong and have many experts under their command. The Cheng family is proficient in various esoteric formations and has relied on them to resolve crises many times, gaining a great reputation. The Jiang family is famous for forging magical weapons, and the magic weapons they forge are worth a fortune on the black market.

The three companies are not only strong in their own right, but have also frequently cooperated and exchanged what they have in recent years. When they unite, they are far superior to Haohan Valley in terms of resource allocation and military deterrence.

Not long ago, they worked together to formulate a careful plan and successfully brought down the Amei Group. Now, these three powerful families are respectful to Xiao Chen. The head of the Zhao family personally pulled out a chair for Xiao Chen, the head of the Cheng family greeted him with a smile, and the head of the Jiang family stayed by his side, ready to be dispatched at any time. This scene stunned everyone present. They could not have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man could make the three major families so awed.

Xiao Chen has a unique temperament, but his name has never been heard of in the Eastern Region, and everyone is curious about his origins.

Some people in the crowd were whispering, "Who is this guy? Where did he come from? Why is there no news about him?" Others speculated, "Maybe he is from a hidden family, otherwise how could the three major families pay so much attention to him."

Huang Ting and Shen Lingling's faces turned red after being ridiculed by Xiao Chen.

Veins popped up on Huang Ting's forehead, and he clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He wanted to rush up and teach Xiao Chen a lesson. Shen Lingling was also trembling with anger. She bit her lips, feeling angry and helpless. They knew that with their limited strength, it would be a disaster if they acted rashly.

Shen Lingling glanced at Zhao Chuanshen who was standing behind Xiao Chen. Zhao Chuanshen exuded a powerful aura, like an insurmountable mountain.

Shen Lingling knew that if she acted rashly, not only would she not be able to hurt Xiao Chen, but she would also make a fool of herself in front of everyone. So, she decided to let Huang Ting test it first, and she would wait and see what happened.

"Boy, don't be so complacent! I'm not afraid of you, I just don't want to have a conflict with Cheng Tianan. When my uncle comes, you'll be in trouble!" Huang Ting said gritting his teeth, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Shen Lingling tightly closed her lips. She knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, and it would only make her look more embarrassed. In her opinion, Xiao Chen was just bluffing, and he would definitely die once the reinforcements arrived. Thinking of this, Shen Lingling showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and quietly waited for the situation to change.

Inside the restaurant, the air seemed to freeze with arguments and mockery. At this tense moment, a steady and rapid sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, like the roar of a war drum, approaching from far outside the restaurant.

The sound of these footsteps was like a heavy hammer, striking hard on everyone's heartstrings. The atmosphere, which was already tense due to the confrontation between Xiao Chen, Huang Ting and Shen Lingling, was instantly pushed to an even more tense climax.

Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing, their breathing unconsciously slowed down, and they all cast their eyes like searchlights toward the outside of the restaurant.

A group of people came towards the restaurant like a gust of black wind, carrying a murderous aura. They were wearing dark-patterned clothes specially made by Haohan Valley, which were of fine quality and glowed dimly in the moonlight.

The tiger totems embroidered on their clothes were lifelike, rising and falling with their steps, as if they would pounce out at any time, exuding a terrifying deterrent force.

The leader was a man with a sturdy figure, like a towering mountain. Every step he took seemed to cause the ground to tremble. (End of this chapter)
