My Ares Son-in-Law

Once you possess them, it's like holding a key to unlock the door to future technologies, giving you the power to change the entire strategic landscape.

With them... the power of the Black Phoenix will no longer be limited to that small martial arts world.

Although the martial arts world is full of masters and complex forces, it is ultimately just a corner of society.

The emergence of the "Titan" series will give Black Phoenix the capital to dabble in certain more core areas, such as high-end manufacturing, military technology research and development, and even the control of national strategic resources.

That will be a completely new and vast world, full of endless possibilities and enormous benefits.

This immense temptation, like a surging tsunami, instantly overwhelmed the last vestige of his fragile resolve.

What risks? What consequences? At this moment, all these factors that had once made him hesitate and toss and turn seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the powerful force that could change the course of his destiny. They were like the struggle of an ant in front of a dragon, utterly insignificant.

His eyes gleamed with madness, and his breathing became rapid and heavy, like a wild beast driven by desire.

Suddenly, he stood up, the movement so forceful that the chair behind him slid back several meters with a loud thud.

All the hesitation and solemnity on his face were now replaced by an almost excited flush, a flush that spread from his cheeks to his neck like a burning flame, making him look somewhat out of control.

He extended his right hand to Cole, his hand trembling slightly with excitement, as if he were holding not the other person's hand, but the key to changing his own destiny.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "Mr. Cole! The sincerity you've shown... I can't refuse!"
This is simply a golden opportunity bestowed upon me by God; it is the only way for me to escape my predicament and achieve glory!

Happy cooperation!

When you return to the other side of the ocean, please be sure to convey my sincerest greetings to the esteemed Mr. Donald!
Tell him that I, Di Lang, will do my utmost to live up to his expectations!

He was already envisioning a series of wonderful scenes: using the power of these "Titan" series to quickly rise in the Black Phoenix organization, shed his detestable puppet status, and truly enter the core of power.

Those who once looked down on him and treated him arrogantly will now bow down to him, and his name will be sung throughout the martial arts world and beyond, making him a figure revered by all.

He seemed to stand at the pinnacle of power, looking down at the world below, enjoying endless glory and wealth.

Cole's eyes suddenly erupted with uncontrollable ecstasy, the light as dazzling and intense as a searchlight suddenly illuminating the darkness.

Become!

He couldn't help but exclaim inwardly that the progress was going much more smoothly than he had expected!
I originally thought it would take a lot of trouble and use more means and bargaining chips to make Di Lang, this cunning and cautious guy, submit. I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

At this moment, he seemed to see the key to controlling the ancient city steadily falling into his pocket.

This ancient city is no ordinary city; it is a major town in the west, a transportation hub, a key node in the economic lifeline, and a strategic location that various forces have long coveted.

Once it is in control, it will be like driving a solid nail into the western part of the Dragon Kingdom. Using it as a springboard, the tentacles of the Black Hawk Society will silently entwine every inch of this city like the most greedy and evil vines.

These vines will gradually seep into every corner of the city, along its streets, buildings, and underground pipes.

Like parasites, they will attach themselves to the city's body, absorbing its nutrients and gradually growing stronger. Ultimately, they will tighten their grip on this major western city, suffocating it and forcing it to obediently submit to the Black Hawk Society's control.

In Cole's eyes, the martial arts world was merely the first step in this grand plan.

He has a far more profound and insidious plan.

When this invisible web woven from conspiracy, interests, and violence becomes large and dense enough, it will no longer be limited to this ancient city, but will cover the entire map of the Dragon Kingdom.

This network will resemble a giant spider web, enveloping every city and region of the Dragon Kingdom.

Then, it will slowly erode the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom, divide its power, and turn this once strong and united country into a riddled and fragmented nation from within.

By then, Black Hawk will become the true ruler of this land, doing whatever it wants, with no one able to rival it.

"Mr. Di Lang, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Cole's smile was as bright as a blooming poisonous flower, so hypocritical it was nauseating.

He also extended his right hand, which appeared somewhat contorted in excited trembling, ready to complete this dirty deal that could shake up the geopolitical landscape.

This seemingly simple handshake hides countless conspiracies, bloodshed, and endless disasters.

Di Lang's face was also filled with excitement. His hand was also outstretched, slightly hot with anticipation of the enormous profits he was about to seize, as if he had already touched the mountain of wealth and supreme power.

Cole's hands, cold and powerful from the success of his scheme, carried a cruel and resolute quality, as if he wanted to firmly control everything.

The two hands rapidly approached each other in the air, like two shooting stars about to collide, about to grasp each other tightly and together open the gates to hell.

At this historic moment, it seemed as if fate was mercilessly mocking and severely punishing this wicked deal—

"Boom!!!"

A deafening, terrifying roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the enclosed space.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to shatter the entire conference room, instantly numbing everyone's eardrums.

The matte black alloy door of the conference room, which was strong enough to withstand heavy machine gun fire, instantly lost all its defensive capabilities in the face of this loud noise, like a thin sheet of iron being bruised and trampled by an ancient giant.

The sturdy door began to twist and deform, the metal groaning in pain, as if it were enduring unimaginable force.

Immediately afterwards, the door was mercilessly torn open, and huge cracks spread rapidly like menacing demons.

Finally, the entire door burst open inwards, and two huge, jagged, and curled alloy door panels, like battering rams thrown by a catapult, crashed into the room with destructive kinetic energy and a whooshing sound.

The sheer force of the attack seemed intent on utterly destroying everything inside, burying this wicked deal forever in these ruins. (End of Chapter)
