My Ares Son-in-Law

"The entire Lu family is like a madman now. Every member of the family is like a wound-up machine, using all their power to secretly investigate everyone who participated in the auction that day."

"They used the connections and resources that the Lu family had accumulated in the ancient city over the years, and sent out a large number of people to inquire about information everywhere, not letting go of any small clue."

"Given their power, it probably won't be long before they start suspecting you."

"After all, your performance at the auction was so outstanding that it was hard not to attract their attention."

He glanced at Xiao Chen, only to find that the other man remained expressionless, his calm face like a still statue, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts.

Shadow Wolf felt a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to continue: "Even if the Lu family can't find conclusive evidence, given Lu Fengnan's ruthless character of 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me,' he would definitely rather kill the innocent than let go of any suspicious matter."

"In his eyes, anyone who could potentially threaten the Lu family must be eliminated as soon as possible."

“Miss is very worried that Lu Fengnan, in his rage, may disregard the rules and take extreme action against you.”

"He might send the Lu family's top assassins to launch a surprise attack when you are completely unprepared, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Therefore, Miss hopes that Mr. Xiao can temporarily avoid trouble and leave the ancient city for a while."

"Miss has arranged everything for you, including a private jet that can take off at any time."

"This plane was specially prepared for you by Miss He through her connections. It has excellent performance and is safe and reliable."

"As long as you nod, you can fly directly to Sanya tonight. Everything there is ready."

"Miss has arranged a luxurious seaside villa for you in Sanya. The environment is beautiful and the facilities are complete."

"Just think of it as a vacation, a chance to relax, enjoy the sea breeze on the beach in Sanya, watch the sunrise and sunset. Once the storm has passed and everything is calm, you can come back later."

As Shadow Wolf spoke, he observed Xiao Chen's reaction, his eyes filled with anticipation and worry.

After listening to Yinglang's concerns and advice, Xiao Chen's lips slowly curled into a faint smile.

That smile was like a ripple suddenly appearing on a calm lake, seemingly casual but actually carrying a hint of disdain, as if the impending storm for the Lu family was nothing more than a trivial drizzle in his eyes.

It exudes an absolute confidence, a certainty about one's own strength after countless battles and challenges, and an aura of dominance that fears no difficulty.

He slightly raised his head, looked directly at Shadow Wolf, and said to Shadow Wolf in a calm and firm tone, "Go back and thank your young lady for her kindness. I will remember her favor."

"However, I will not leave the ancient city."

Although the voice was not loud, it resonated like a great bell in the storage room, carrying an undeniable determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly sharpened, like a drawn sword, gleaming with a cold light, as if it could cut through the air in front of him.

"Lu Fengnan wants to deal with me?"

"That would be perfect!"

"I want to see just how much he's worth."

"I'm just afraid... he won't come!"

His words were full of provocation and disdain, as if Lu Fengnan was nothing more than an ant that he could manipulate at will.

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this last sentence, Shadow Wolf involuntarily gasped. The sound was particularly abrupt in the silent storage room, like a sigh in the cold night.

I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, as if I were in a frozen wasteland, and all the blood in my body seemed to be frozen.

His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, each beat causing a sharp pain that made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Instead of dodging, this Mr. Xiao is going to confront the behemoth that is the Lu family head-on.

Moreover, judging from his tone, he didn't take Lu Fengnan, who was famous on the Grandmaster Ranking, seriously at all!
It is important to know that the Lu family's influence in the ancient city is deeply entrenched, like a huge and invisible net that covers every corner of the city.

Their family has a rich heritage, accumulated over generations, and possesses countless wealth and resources.

Lu Fengnan is the core figure of the Lu family. He ranks among the top on the Grandmaster list, possesses formidable strength, and the power he created is feared by countless people.

Has he gone mad?
Shadow Wolf couldn't help but think to himself.

He had no idea how deep the Lu family's foundation was, or how terrifying Lu Fengnan's strength really was!

It's true that Mr. Xiao is incredibly powerful, and he has killed several grandmasters, but compared to Lu Fengnan, they are worlds apart.

Those grandmasters may have achieved certain accomplishments in some fields, but they are utterly insignificant in front of a grandmaster like Lu Fengnan.

"Mr. Xiao! This matter concerns life and death. You must not act rashly. Please think it over carefully!"

Shadow Wolf couldn't help but offer another piece of advice, his forehead beaded with sweat.

The beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground with a soft sound.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, as if he saw an impending disaster that he was powerless to stop.

Xiao Chen's eyes were calm yet revealed an undeniable determination, giving Ying Lang no further chance to speak.

He strode forward, reached out and steadily opened the door, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he turned slightly to the side and made a standard "please" gesture, his posture elegant yet carrying an air of undeniable authority.

Seeing this, Shadow Wolf sighed inwardly, knowing that saying anything more would be pointless.

Mr. Xiao's mind was made up, and no one could change his mind.

He could only sigh helplessly, his sigh filled with worry and despair, as if he could see the storm that was about to break.

Then, he slowly bowed and respectfully performed a salute, his movements precise yet filled with reverence.

After the ceremony, he quickly retreated, his steps slightly hurried, as if he wanted to get away from this place that was about to fall into crisis as soon as possible.

In Yinglang's view, the Jin family had done everything they could and should have done.

They used their family connections to gather information from all over the place, providing Xiao Chen with the most comprehensive intelligence; they also patiently persuaded him and gave him the most reliable advice.

However, it was Mr. Xiao himself who rejected the only chance for survival, insisting on staying in the ancient city to face the Lu family's wrath.

Once the footsteps of Shadow Wolf and the others had completely disappeared at the elevator entrance, and the "thump thump thump" sound had gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard, Xiao Chen slowly closed the door to the storage room.

With a soft click, the door was locked tightly, as if shutting out all the disturbances of the outside world. (End of Chapter)
