My Ares Son-in-Law

Why should he?
What qualifications does he have?

A chorus of vehement dissuasion and opposition erupted in the hall, the voices rising like a surging tide, one wave after another, completely drowning out Situ Cang's words.

The core executives blushed, their faces filled with shock, anger, and jealousy, their eyes brimming with resentment and bitterness.

The power and benefits represented by this chair are the goals they have dreamed of and struggled for for many years. They have earned it with countless bloodshed and betrayals. How can they easily let an outsider take it away?

Some clenched their fists so tightly their knuckles turned white; some gritted their teeth, wishing they could devour the young man alive; others stomped their feet incessantly, expressing their anger and dissatisfaction.

The entire council chamber was in complete chaos, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Situ Cang suddenly turned around, his movement so swift that it resembled an enraged lion suddenly turning and pouncing on its prey.

His cloudy yet infinitely majestic eyes swept across the entire room with a sharp, knife-like gaze!
Those eyes were like two sharp daggers, carrying a chilling aura and an undeniable domineering presence, causing everyone who met their gaze to tremble.

The once noisy and chaotic hall fell silent instantly, as if a duck had been choked by an invisible yet incredibly powerful hand.

The gang members, who had been arguing and indignant just moments before, now stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, not daring to utter a sound.

The hall fell into a heavy silence once again, a silence as oppressive as darkness, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Situ Cang had his own plans. He had been secretly sensing things carefully while everyone was arguing.

The young man exuded an extremely refined killing intent, which was like solidified ice, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Moreover, judging from the terrifying power he displayed when he made his move just now, it was definitely not something an ordinary martial artist could possess!
That power was like a surging river or sea, unstoppable; and like a thunderbolt, awe-inspiring.

Situ Cang thought to himself, this young man is very likely... to have already touched that legendary realm!
The Black Phoenix Organization suffered heavy losses today. Countless brothers outside the gate were killed or wounded, and the blood stained the ground, a horrific sight.

But if we can recruit such a young and top-notch expert as a result, then the loss is nothing at all!
This could even be a crucial step for the Black Phoenix Organization to reach new heights of power!
With such a master in charge, the Black Phoenix Organization will be even more unrestrained in this ancient city, and other forces will only be able to look up to them and submit to them.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in Situ Cang's eyes.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen.

Situ Cang's eyes held a hint of barely perceptible expectation, an expectation like a ray of dawn in the darkness, faint yet full of hope.

He hoped that the young man would be pragmatic and agree to join the Black Phoenix organization to serve it.

The other members, however, were filled with tension, jealousy, and hostility.

They were nervous because they didn't know what decision this young man would make, a decision that would directly affect their future; they were jealous because this young man was able to gain such attention and appreciation from the leader, while they themselves might not have such an opportunity even after years of struggle; they were hostile because this young man had killed their brother, filling their hearts with hatred and resentment.

The air seemed to freeze, as if time itself had stopped flowing. Everyone held their breath, awaiting the answer that would determine their fate.

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone's heartbeats echoed like drums in the silent space.

Xiao Chen's lips slowly curved into a smile.

The arc was shallow, but like a flash of lightning across the night sky, it instantly broke the oppressive silence.

That smile was cold and mocking, a cold laugh that seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with boundless ridicule and murderous intent. That murderous intent was like a tangible, chilling wind, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

"Join the Black Phoenix Organization?"

Xiao Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, like an icicle piercing to the bone, sending chills down their spines.

His voice was full of disdain and contempt, as if the Black Phoenix Organization was nothing more than a bunch of clowns in his eyes.

"You scum...do you even deserve it?"

He coldly surveyed the astonished faces that filled the hall, which then turned to fury.

Those faces were twisted and deformed with anger; some were flushed red, like ripe tomatoes; some had bulging veins, like tangled tree roots; and some had eyes spitting fire, as if they wanted to devour the people in front of them alive.

But there was no fear in Xiao Chen's eyes, only endless indifference and determination.

He declared their fate, word by word, with unwavering resolve, his voice like a judgment from the deepest hell, cold and merciless:
"And remember today."

"After tonight, the Black Phoenix Organization will cease to exist here!"

Madness!

This is utterly arrogant to the extreme!
It was as if the Black Phoenix Organization was nothing more than an ant that he could crush at any moment.

Arrogant!

His posture and tone showed no regard for the people present, as if he had become the master of the world.

Utter contempt!
His words were like sharp daggers, piercing straight into the hearts of every member of the Black Phoenix Organization, making them feel unprecedented humiliation and anger.

The moment the words left his mouth, Xiao Chen moved!

Without any warning or preparation, it started suddenly and naturally.

His body seemed to blend into the surrounding shadows, becoming one with the darkness, transforming into a fleeting, elusive black lightning bolt.

His speed was so fast that no one could catch a glimpse of him; all that could be seen was a black afterimage flashing in the council hall.

His movements were like a ghost, sometimes appearing on the left and sometimes flashing to the right, making it impossible to determine his true location; his shadow was like a flowing light, his movements were smooth and swift, without the slightest hesitation or pause.

He can conjure up countless afterimages in a small space, and those afterimages are so realistic that ordinary experts can't even touch the hem of his clothes. They can only watch helplessly as he moves around them.

Swift as the wind!

His attacks were as swift as a whirlwind, leaving no time to dodge; as fierce as thunder!

His power is as strong as thunder; once it strikes, it is a fatal blow.

Before they could even recover from their shock and regain their footing, Xiao Chen, with lightning speed, pounced on them like a ferocious cheetah, defeating them one by one and utterly killing them! (End of Chapter)
