My Ares Son-in-Law

"This young lady is beautiful!"

Another henchman yelled, his voice filled with an uncontrollable excitement, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, completely unaware of it, looking as lewd as could be.

Foul language poured out of their mouths like a flood, mixed with excited panting, echoing in the narrow corridor and making one want to vomit.

Several men, like hyenas that have smelled blood, surrounded her step by step. Their footsteps were heavy and disordered, each step feeling like a blow to Zhou Hongyan's heart.

Their faces wore nauseating smiles, twisted and perverse, and their rough hands reached out impatiently, their fingers trembling slightly with excessive excitement, as if they couldn't wait to touch Zhou Hongyan's delicate body.

Zhou Hongyan's heart sank into an abyss!
It was a despair unlike anything I had ever experienced before, as if I were in endless darkness with no hope in sight.

The chilling despair, like countless steel needles, pierced through every inch of her skin in an instant, causing her whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

Immense regret, like a poisonous vine, tightly coiled around her heart, each contraction causing her excruciating pain.

Questions kept flashing through her mind: Why not wait for backup? Why be so stubborn? Why... refuse her partner's offer to go with her?
She regretted her impulsiveness and arrogance. If she could turn back time, she would definitely choose to wait for support and act with her partner.

She would rather die immediately than be defiled in the slightest by these scumbags!
Seeing a calloused, rough hand, as coarse as tree bark, slowly but surely reaching towards her with a nauseating grin, the fingers still bearing stains from who-knows-where, Zhou Hongyan felt a surge of anger rise from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes instantly flashed with a resolute and fierce light!

That gaze was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into the villain before him, as if trying to penetrate his very soul.

She bit her tongue hard, and a sharp pain instantly shot through her, as if a lightning bolt had struck her nerves. The intense pain, accompanied by a strong taste of blood, quickly spread through her mouth.

The pain instantly cleared her muddled mind and ignited the last bit of strength hidden within her.

She used all her strength, the veins on her neck bulging, and let out a shrill and resolute scream. The sound, like the wail of an owl, pierced through the cold and silent air of the corridor, crashing and echoing between the walls, sending chills down one's spine.

"Go away!"

"You bunch of scum!"

"If you dare touch me, I guarantee that every one of you, along with your entire clan, will die without a burial place!"

"My father is Zhou Bingjun!"

"Commander of the Western Region's Underworld Palace!"

The scream was filled with anger, determination, and endless hatred; every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, carrying an unquestionable authority.

This was her last trump card, her final struggle!

In this desperate situation, her family identity became the only lifeline she could grasp. She had no choice but to gamble everything, hoping that this name could intimidate the group of ruthless villains in front of her.

The few men in black vests who were about to pounce like hungry wolves were suddenly frozen in place, as if struck by an invisible bolt of lightning!
Their bodies seemed to be frozen in place, maintaining that ugly and ferocious pouncing posture. The smiles on their faces froze instantly, as if they were encased in ice, and then turned into unbelievable horror and fear!

The fear overwhelmed them like a tidal wave, causing their legs to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhou Bingjun!
That name exploded in their minds like a thunderclap from the heavens. In the martial arts world of the ancient city, this name had a terrifying deterrent effect!
That was a true behemoth, wielding immense military power and controlling life and death; his ruthless decisions instilled fear in all. His daughter?!
The men in black vests felt a chill run from their feet to their heads, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.

Even Luo Sha, who had just unbuckled his belt and was preparing to commit further violence, froze in his ferocious grin upon hearing this name, revealing a panicked expression beneath what appeared to be a torn mask.

His pupils suddenly contracted, becoming as sharp as needles, as he stared intently at Zhou Hongyan, as if trying to discern the truth from her face.

The centipede-like scar on his face twitched violently a few times, like a venomous snake coming to life, twisting and struggling, and for the first time, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

That hint of surprise and doubt spread like a spark in his heart, making him wonder if he had kicked a hornet's nest this time.

But only for a moment!
The slight surprise in Luo Sha's heart was replaced by an even more frenzied ferocity and a desperate ruthlessness!

He thought to himself, "I've already gone too far. Even if I let her go now, I'll still die. Since that's the case, I might as well go all the way!"
His eyes grew increasingly fierce, like a wild beast cornered in a desperate situation, preparing for a final, desperate struggle.

He gritted his teeth, a cruel smile creeping onto his lips, and approached Zhou Hongyan step by step.

"Zhou Bingjun?!"

The moment Luo Sha heard the name, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. But then, the twisted expression on his face became even more ferocious, and his voice became extremely sharp due to the extreme distortion, like the mournful cry of an owl in the dark.

He took a sudden step forward, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble slightly from the force of his frenzied action.

The muscles in his face twitched wildly, as if a group of evil spirits were struggling and tearing at his flesh. His eyes flashed with a desperate madness, a madness like a raging fire, threatening to completely burn away the last vestiges of his reason.

"Great! Excellent! I've really hit the jackpot today! I get to taste the flavor of Commander Zhou's daughter! Hahaha!"

He burst into wild laughter, the sound echoing like thunder in the small space, filled with hysterical madness.

Every note seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his soul, carrying endless malice and determination.

"Brothers! What are you all standing there for? Tear her apart!"

"A woman who can achieve this level of status deserves to die!"

"After we're done, chop her up and feed her to the dogs! I'll see if Zhou Bingjun can go looking for a ghost!"

He completely abandoned all restraints, as if he were no longer the slightly notorious villain in the underworld, but had transformed into the most ferocious beast, with only the desire to ravage and destroy Zhou Hongyan in his eyes.

"Yes, Brother Sha!"

The men were initially stunned by the name "Zhou Bingjun," but the brief shock was like a cold tide that instantly overwhelmed them.

But Rakshasa's madness and the immense "glory" he promised, like a blazing flame, quickly ignited the darkness deep within their hearts. (End of Chapter)
