My Ares Son-in-Law

The taxi drove smoothly on the wide road, its body swaying slightly with the undulations of the road, but without breaking its steady rhythm.

Outside the car window, the street scene flashed past like a flowing scroll painting.

The shop signs on both sides of the street flickered with colorful lights, standing out in the night; pedestrians hurried by, leaving only blurry outlines; the trees by the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if whispering the story of this city.

Xiao Chen leaned back quietly in his chair, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

His face showed a hint of fatigue, yet also a strong determination.

The scene in the coffee shop just now kept replaying in his mind like a movie.

Zhou Fenfang's mean and snobbish face was like a sharp knife, deeply etched in his memory.

Her raised chin, her disdainful gaze, and her sharp, sarcastic words—every detail was as clear as if it were right before my eyes.

Zhou Keying's worried and complicated gaze was like a tangled mess, swirling in his mind and making him feel inexplicably irritable.

Although Zhou Fenfang's words were extremely vicious, each word was like a poisoned whip, lashing him hard and causing him a sharp pain.

But amidst all the endless insults and abuse, one sentence struck him like a cold needle, precisely hitting the Achilles' heel he had been deliberately avoiding.

Those words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the darkness in his heart and forcing him to confront a cruel reality.

Military strength alone is far from enough.

He once thought that as long as he possessed enough power, he could do whatever he wanted in this world and achieve all his goals.

He did indeed accomplish many things. He could turn the Black Phoenix Organization into a bloodbath overnight, making those once arrogant villains tremble with fear. He could drive a ruthless figure like Li Fengyuan to his doom, ending his life in despair.

He can crush any enemy who stands in his way of revenge with absolute power, leaving them powerless to fight back.

He is like a sharp sword; wherever he goes, no one can stop him.

However, when he truly delved into the core of this world, he discovered that the rules of this world could not be rewritten simply by using a blade.

Wealth is like an invisible mountain, pressing down on everyone and making it hard to breathe.

Those who possess enormous wealth can easily manipulate the market and influence the direction of the economy; a single word from them can change the fate of countless people.

Power, like a huge and complex spider web, tightly envelops the entire society.

Those who wield power can set rules and control the life and death of others. They can walk the line of the law without bearing any consequences.

The intricate network of personal connections is like a hidden undercurrent in the darkness, silently influencing everyone's life.

Deeply entrenched class barriers are like an insurmountable chasm, dividing people into different classes and preventing those at the bottom from ever reaching the glory and power of those at the top.

These invisible shackles are far harder to break than visible swords.

They are like ghosts, omnipresent yet elusive.

Xiao Chen once tried to break these shackles with his own strength, but he found that his power seemed so small and powerless in the face of these invisible forces.

The Zhou family, this behemoth occupying the top of the western region, is one of the strongest symbols of these shackles. Like a towering castle, it stands at the heart of the western region, controlling the economic, political, and cultural lifeline of the entire area.

The Zhou family wields considerable influence across various sectors, maintaining intricate connections with government officials, business elites, and gang leaders.

Trying to shake the Zhou family's position is like an ant trying to shake a tree—it's practically impossible.

Xiao Chen knew that if he wanted to find his wife Jiang Meng, he would have to face the powerful Zhou family as his opponent.

Jiang Meng's disappearance may very well be part of a conspiracy by the Zhou family.

The Zhou family's support is also essential to destroying the Prison Clan, this mysterious and evil organization.

The prison tribe is like a malignant tumor, deeply rooted in the bottom of society, constantly eroding the foundation of society.

They use various illegal means to acquire wealth and power, creating chaos and fear, and leaving countless people living in pain and despair.

Xiao Chen wanted to uphold his beliefs and eradicate the Prison Clan.

But to do all this, he needs power, and even more so, power enough to move the entire chessboard.

This power refers not only to military strength, but also to comprehensive strength in various aspects such as wealth, power, and connections.

He must constantly improve himself, accumulate wealth, expand his network, and build his own power.

The War God Alliance is a special force that operates in the shadows, acting with extreme secrecy and efficiency, much like the sharp blade hidden in the dark in his hand.

This force focuses on dealing with complex matters that exist on the fringes of normal social order and cannot be brought to light.

Whether it's the shady entanglements arising from unfair business practices or the sordid dealings hidden behind the power struggles within certain interest groups, as long as their bottom line and principles are violated, the War God Alliance will strike like a ghost, eliminating those hidden dangers with precise and decisive actions, restoring the proper order and peace to the dark corners of society.

However, in this complex and intricate world, which resembles a vast chessboard, the power hidden in the shadows is far from sufficient.

On the surface, he desperately needs a completely different force.

This force must be able to walk openly under the scorching sun, stride confidently through bustling cities, and possess sufficiently strong economic power and significant political influence.

It is like a towering mountain, standing firm and unyielding, becoming the solid foundation upon which he reshapes social rules and announces his return to the world.

With this power, he can operate with ease within the established rules and framework, and realize his grand ambitions in a legal and assertive manner.

Although he is now the God of War, he holds a supreme position and an awe-inspiring reputation within a specific secret circle.

But this identity, like a shooting star in the night sky, will inevitably cause a huge uproar once it is exposed to the public.

Therefore, he had to carefully conceal this identity while meticulously cultivating another new force to pave a path to success for himself in the sunlight.

For him, building such a force was not an insurmountable task.

He possesses exceptional wisdom and outstanding leadership skills, supported by a wealth of connections and formidable strength. (End of Chapter)
