My Ares Son-in-Law

Qin Lingling had personally witnessed Xiao Chen's methods; he could kill without a trace with just a few gestures.

Moreover, she was well aware of Xiao Chen's unfathomable strength and ruthless personality.

Even her grandfather, Qin Fang, a figure who could shake the ground with a single stomp in the ancient city, had to be careful and respectful when facing Xiao Chen, and dared not even raise his voice. What was Ming Cheng? He was just a spoiled brat who relied on his family's power to act arrogantly and domineeringly. How dare he lay hands on Xiao Chen and speak rudely to him!
However, the thought of the Qin family's current precarious and precarious situation, like a small boat tossed about in a storm, could be swallowed up by the surging waves at any moment, is still unsettling.

She absolutely could not make any more enemies for the family at this critical juncture, adding new troubles to the already battered Qin family.

She suppressed the fear in her heart, a fear that felt like an invisible hand gripping her heart so tightly she could barely breathe.

She rushed forward, her steps faltering, her hands trembling as she tried to grab Mingcheng's arm, her voice urgent and pleading, "Mingcheng! Let go!"

"Apologize to Mr. Xiao immediately!"

"He's not someone you can afford to offend!"

"Take my advice!"

"If you continue like this, not only will you get yourself into big trouble, but you'll also drag your family down with you!"

"Mr. Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, Mingcheng was taken aback. His arrogant expression froze on his face, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

But soon, his doubts were replaced by disdain, and he immediately revealed an even more disdainful sneer on his face, a smile that was like a sharp knife, slicing through the tense atmosphere in the air.

When did a person with the surname Xiao, whom I can't afford to offend, suddenly appear in this ancient city?
I, Mingcheng, have lived in this ancient city for so many years; I've seen more of the world than most people have ever walked the streets.

I could count all the formidable figures lurking in every corner of the ancient city with my eyes closed.

What kind of big shots haven't I seen? Those entrepreneurs who dominate the business world, those officials who wield power in the political arena, who wouldn't give me, Mingcheng, some face and greet me politely?

But I've never heard of this person surnamed Xiao before!

Maybe he's just some nobody who popped up out of nowhere, putting on airs because he's got a bit of luck.

Thinking of this, Mingcheng's confidence instantly grew stronger, and his arrogance, like a raging fire, rose to its peak once again.

He curled his lips into a slight, disdainful sneer, a smile full of mockery and contempt.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of profanities poured out: "What kind of bullshit is Xiao's mother comparing first..."

Before he could utter the last word "life," a cold glint of utter impatience finally flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes, which had been slightly lowered.

That cold glint was like a sharp lightning bolt, instantly piercing his originally calm and composed eyes, sending chills down one's spine.

He didn't want to cause trouble. In his view, this so-called circle was nothing more than a group of idle, competitive, and mediocre people gathered together, which was meaningless.

Therefore, he has always chosen not to integrate into this boring circle, staying quietly by himself, like a lotus flower emerging from the mud unsullied, out of place with his surroundings.

He didn't want to cause trouble, so when the conflict first appeared, he chose to leave and avoid it. He walked towards the door with steady and powerful steps, his back view appearing somewhat lonely, yet revealing a kind of carefree detachment from worldly affairs.

He thought that once he left, the farce would end, but he never expected that some people would be so reckless as to walk right into the line of fire.

Unfortunately, there are always some people in this world who are born stupid and dull, unable to see the situation clearly, and insist on courting their own demise!

They were like a swarm of headless flies, rushing around in the dark, completely unaware of the danger lurking right in front of them.

Since that's the case, Xiao Chen no longer needs to endure it.

His gaze became firm and sharp, like a razor-sharp sword, ready to be drawn at any moment.

The next second, Xiao Chen's right hand shot out like a ghost, so fast that it left only a blur, leaving no time for anyone to react.

The five fingers, like iron clamps, instantly gripped Mingcheng's wrist, which was holding his arm, with astonishing strength, as if to crush Mingcheng's wrist.

Then, he suddenly pressed and twisted the object at an extremely tricky and ruthless angle, his movements clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

"Crack——!"

The sound was sharp, like ice cracking, with a teeth-grinding vibrato, crisp yet filled with terror, like the death knell tolling in one's ear.

The sudden sound of bones breaking was like a thunderclap, exploding without warning in the once warm and lively banquet hall.

At that moment, soothing music was playing in the banquet hall, and the whispers of the guests created an elegant and pleasant atmosphere. But this loud noise shattered all of this beauty in an instant.

Everyone's horrified gazes turned to him, only to see Mingcheng's arm displayed in an extremely bizarre and terrifying manner.

It was as if it had been grabbed by an invisible yet incredibly powerful giant hand and crushed, the broken bones piercing through the flesh, the white bone fragments a shocking sight.

The entire arm was twisted into a horrifying, nearly 360-degree angle, like a withered branch ravaged by a gale, completely violating the normal physiological structure of the human body.

“Ahhhh——!!”

Immediately afterwards, Mingcheng's heart-wrenching scream pierced the air above the banquet hall.

The arrogance and smugness that had been on his face froze instantly, like a frozen lake. Then, his expression quickly twisted and distorted, turning into extreme pain and disbelief.

His eyes were wide open like copper bells, bloodshot and seemingly about to burst out of their sockets. His mouth was agape, but he could only let out a shrill, pig-like scream.

He never dreamed that the other party would dare to strike so ruthlessly and decisively in front of everyone.

The excruciating pain, like a surging tide, instantly overwhelmed all his reason, plunging him into an endless abyss of agony.

He Haiyue and several other wealthy young men, who were originally immersed in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the banquet, were completely stunned by the sudden bloody scene.

Their faces instantly turned deathly pale, like blank sheets of paper, and their once rosy lips lost all color. (End of Chapter)
