My Ares Son-in-Law

The power released by Xiao Chen made the souls of the two bodyguards tremble, as if an invisible force was pulling at their will, making it impossible for them to resist.

"Ugh—!"

The two bodyguards felt an unimaginable and irresistible terrifying force, like a towering mountain, crashing down on their shoulders and spines!

The force was so heavy that they almost suffocated, their knees bending uncontrollably as if an invisible hand was forcibly pressing them down.

Their bodies swayed precariously, as if a gentle breeze could knock them over.

They tried desperately to straighten their backs and resist this force, but their struggles seemed so small and powerless in the face of this terrifying power.

"Crack! Click!"

The sickening sound of bones cracking was as subtle as the rustling of leaves falling quietly in spring, yet as clear as a thunderclap in the night sky, piercing straight into everyone's ears!

The sound was like the whisper of death, announcing the arrival of misfortune.

Their pride and the internal strength they have cultivated over many years is the result of countless days and nights of arduous training. It is the source of their confidence in fighting enemies and protecting themselves.

However, it is as fragile as paper in the face of this mysterious and terrifying power.

That force was like a surging, turbulent wave, while their internal energy was like an insignificant little boat, instantly crushed to pieces, leaving not even a trace of resistance!
Under this immense pressure, the kneecaps groaned in unbearable agony, as if they were begging for mercy.

The excruciating pain, like a surging tide, instantly swept over their entire bodies, every cell screaming in agony, almost causing them to faint.

"thump!!!"

"thump!!!"

Immediately afterwards, two dull, heavy thuds, like objects falling to the ground, echoed in the silent space, as if the hammer of fate had struck people's hearts hard.

Under Chen Ziyan's horrified, ghost-like gaze, her two elite guards, whom she had hired at great expense and who were well-known in the underground world of the ancient city, knelt down on both knees like two ruthlessly chopped wooden stakes, without any dignity, right next to the door of Xiao Chen's ordinary SUV!

The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or struggle, as if an invisible hand was forcibly controlling them.

The hard cement ground seemed to tremble, raising a small cloud of dust, as if it too was shaking at this shocking scene.

Their heads were buried deep, their foreheads almost touching the cold ground, the cold penetrating their skin and piercing straight into their hearts.

His body trembled violently from the immense pressure and extreme fear, every muscle spasming uncontrollably, as if an invisible electric current was coursing through his body.

That posture was so humble, it was as if they were bowing down to a supreme monarch, or as if they were acknowledging their own insignificance and powerlessness.

This sudden and completely mind-blowing scene struck Chen Ziyan like a thunderbolt!
The thunder was so powerful that it instantly rendered her unable to react.

She was completely confused!
My mind went blank, as if shrouded in a thick fog, my thoughts completely stopped, and I couldn't find a single clue.

Her exquisitely painted eyes were wide open, as if the pupils were about to bulge out of their sockets, filled with fear, shock, and disbelief. Her mouth was unconsciously open, like a fish stranded on the shore, gasping for breath but unable to make a sound.

Her carefully styled hair was now disheveled from shock, with a few strands falling around her face, making her look utterly disheveled.

She stood there like a frozen puppet, staring blankly at the bodyguards kneeling on the ground, like two puddles of mud, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if asking, "What happened? How did they become like this?"

She suddenly looked up at Xiao Chen, the man in the car who remained calm and composed, whose eyes showed no change whatsoever!

That calm gaze, to her, was like a bottomless black hole, hiding countless secrets and unknown powers, filling her with immense fear and awe.

A bone-chilling cold, like a bolt of icy lightning, shot straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!

Wherever the chill passed, every inch of her skin and every nerve felt as if it were frozen solid. She couldn't help but shiver, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

What... what on earth is going on?!
Chen Ziyan's eyes widened, filled with fear and confusion, as if she were in a completely unfamiliar world full of unknown dangers.

Her head suddenly exploded with a buzz, countless questions swirling wildly in her mind, yet she couldn't find a single reasonable answer.

Hallucination?!

She shook her head vigorously and blinked hard, trying to clear her mind and escape the unbelievable scene before her.

But when she opened her eyes again, the shocking scene was still clearly presented before her eyes, unchanged.

How could the Chen family experts she was so proud of, those powerful figures who were usually so imposing and arrogant in front of her, seemingly capable of easily crushing any obstacle, possibly kneel down before Xiao Chen?!
That was Xiao Chen, the man she considered trash, someone she could trample on and humiliate at will. In her eyes, he was as insignificant and lowly as an ant.

The thought flashed through her mind, and the color drained from Chen Ziyan's face instantly, leaving her deathly pale, like a sheet of paper drained of its life force.

She felt as if all her strength had been drained away; her body swayed uncontrollably, and she staggered back a step.

The high heels clicked on the cold ground, making a crisp yet incredibly frantic sound. The sound seemed particularly jarring in the silent space, as if it were an outward expression of her inner fear.

She stared intently at Xiao Chen, her eyes unblinking, as if she were truly getting to know him for the first time.

The man who used to be so submissive to her, who dared not fight back even when she beat or scolded him, now seemed like a towering, insurmountable mountain, filling her with immense awe and fear.

An unprecedented fear, originating from the depths of her soul, like a cold, venomous snake, quietly coiled around her heart.

The venomous snake coiled tighter and tighter, making her heart feel as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. Each beat was accompanied by excruciating pain, almost suffocating her.

consternation.

She stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, her mouth slightly open, but no sound came out. (End of Chapter)
