My Ares Son-in-Law

The poor thing's nose was squeezed flat, its nostrils flared, as if it were gasping for breath in pain, yet unable to exhale a single normal breath.

His mouth was crooked, and the corners of his mouth were torn open, with blood gushing out continuously, mixing with the blood seeping from his swollen body.

"Uh uh uh……"

All that remained in his throat were incomprehensible, desperate sobs, like those of a dying beast.

The sound was like a final wail squeezed from the depths of his soul, filled with endless pain, fear, and resentment.

Each syllable seemed to be a desperate roar, yet it sounded so weak and powerless in this terrifying scene.

Finally, the expansion reached its limit!
It was as if the god of fate had delivered his final judgment, or as if the gates of hell had been opened wide at that moment, ready to devour him completely.

boom--! ! ! !

A deafening, terrifying explosion, seemingly from the deepest depths of hell and capable of shattering one's soul, suddenly erupted in the empty conference room!

The sound was like countless bombs exploding at the same time, or like the roar of an ancient behemoth, making the entire conference room tremble.

Dust fell from the walls, as if startled by the terrifying sound.

The blood is soaring to the sky!
In that instant, the entire conference room was stained a bloody world, as if we were in a pool of blood from hell.

Di Lang's body, swollen beyond recognition, was like a fleshy sack stuffed with explosives by an evil wizard, which exploded at the moment it reached its limit!

That scene was like the most terrifying nightmare coming to life.

Thick, scalding blood mixed with shattered flesh and internal organs splattered violently in a radial pattern, like a red bomb that had been detonated!
Those fragments of flesh and blood, carrying terrifying force, flew everywhere. Some hit the walls with dull thuds; others landed on the tables and chairs, making the already broken furniture even more shocking.

Crackling!

Thick blood plasma and bits of flesh were splattered like a torrential rain across every corner of the conference room!
The broken tables and chairs were stained dark red, as if they had been poured with blood; on the clean walls, streaks of blood resembled the claw marks of a demon, a shocking sight; even the huge French windows were not spared, instantly splashed with a thick, continuously flowing curtain of blood.

The blood-red curtain, like evil rivers, meandered down the glass, completely obscuring the blurry neon lights of the ancient city outside the window, leaving only a blinding and desperate crimson!

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in this terrifying crimson, making people feel extremely oppressed and fearful.

The pungent, nauseating stench of blood spread unchecked throughout the space, like an invisible yet sticky net.

The pungent smell, mixed with the acrid smell of gunpowder and the chilling stench of torn internal organs, spread heavily, as if carrying a thousand-pound weight, completely engulfing the conference room that had become a place of death.

Every breath felt like swallowing the most terrifying poison in the world, making one's stomach churn and causing one's internal organs to spasm.

Outside the window, the torrential rain continued like an angry beast, relentlessly washing away the bloodstains flowing down the glass.

The bloodstains snaked down the glass like venomous snakes, twisting and deforming under the impact of the rain, yet stubbornly refusing to dissipate.

The torrential rain pounded against the glass, making an endless clattering sound. The sound seemed like a summons from hell, or the weeping of countless wronged souls, playing a final, chilling lament for this blood sacrifice that was five years overdue.

The dirge, filled with endless resentment and despair, echoed through the rain, sending chills down one's spine.

Xiao Chen strode through the gleaming lobby with steady, powerful steps.

In the lobby, the crystal chandelier cast a soft, bright light, but it couldn't dispel the underlying tension in the air. At the reception desk, a young girl with her hair in a bun was looking around absentmindedly, her gaze frequently drifting towards the lobby entrance, as if anxiously waiting for someone to appear.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up like stars. Her previously dim gaze instantly shone brightly, as if she had seen a long-lost relative.

She almost jumped up from her seat with joy, her face beaming with a bright and enthusiastic smile, a smile as pure and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

"Sir! Have you seen our manager?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, echoing in the somewhat quiet hall.

Xiao Chen slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle yet confident smile. He waved the still-wet ink contract in his hand and said:
"Signed."

I'll probably be bothering you quite often from now on.

The contract swayed gently in his hand, like a victory flag, proclaiming his success in the negotiations.

"Really? That's...that's wonderful!"

The little girl blurted out, her excitement overflowing. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

But then she realized her lapse in composure, hurriedly covered her mouth, and two blushes rose on her cheeks, as beautiful and moving as the sunset.

She lowered her head shyly, her fingers twisting the strap of her name tag, her movements revealing a hint of unease.

"Um... my name is Wang Lili!"

You can look for me anytime you come in the future!
This...this is my business card, it has my WeChat ID on it..."

As she spoke, she frantically pulled a business card from her pocket.

The business card carried a faint scent of perfume, a fragrance that was fresh and pleasant, just like her, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

She handed the business card to Xiao Chen with both hands, her eyes filled with expectation and sincerity.

The older receptionist next to me was a lively and joking person.

Seeing Wang Lili's shy yet anxious appearance, she couldn't help but smile mischievously. She gently nudged Wang Lili with her elbow, a gesture that carried a hint of intimacy and teasing.

Immediately afterwards, she let out a clear, crisp laugh, which echoed through the lobby like silver bells:

"Oh, Lili, just now, when Mr. Zhang's assistant asked you for your WeChat, you solemnly said that company rules prohibit adding clients privately, and the rules are as strict as a city wall."

Why did she suddenly start feeding the cats at the coffee shop downstairs when she saw this handsome guy?

Does that cat only eat the right kinds of food?

Wang Lili was already incredibly shy, and her colleague's teasing made her ears turn bright red, as if they had been roasted by fire.

She glared at her colleague, her eyes filled with a mixture of reproach and shyness, then lowered her head even further, wishing she could disappear into the ground. (End of Chapter)
