My Ares Son-in-Law

It must be admitted that she is an extremely beautiful woman, even more outstanding than Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan, and is already close to Jiang Meng.

What made Xiao Chen pause for a moment was that there was a strange butterfly pattern on her cheek, like a tattoo! This tattoo did not seem out of place at all; on the contrary, it strangely added a touch of eerie and dazzling color to her cool temperament, instantly becoming the most unforgettable focus on her face.

But... what woman would get a tattoo like that on her face?

This is clearly not a decal, but an actual tattoo.

Unable to understand!

The woman was both shocked and furious, her beautiful eyes blazing as she glared at Xiao Chen, her chest heaving. But she knew all too well that in her current state of serious injury and weakness, she had no room for resistance or bargaining in front of this unfathomable man.

Just then, a distinctly hurried and chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the villa area. Immediately afterwards, the doors of several nearby villas were pounded on without any politeness, and shouts could be faintly heard.

The woman's expression immediately tensed up. She quickly looked around and said urgently to Xiao Chen in a low voice, "Do you have any secret rooms or places to hide? They'll definitely search every house! Quickly, get me hidden!"

Xiao Chen seemed oblivious to the commotion outside. He picked up the purple clay teapot from the coffee table, slowly poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then calmly said, "You sit here. They can't get in."

The woman froze, listening to the increasingly rapid footsteps that seemed to be reaching the door, her heart filled with anxiety: "But they outnumber us, there must be some among them..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Her words were interrupted by an extremely violent knocking sound that almost shattered the door!
"People inside! Open the door!"

"Open the door now! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"

A violent and impatient roar came through the door, sending chills down one's spine.

The woman's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she almost bit her lower lip until it bled. She turned her head sharply to look at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including fear and a hint of "let's see how you handle this."

Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, as if the deafening knocking was merely the buzzing of a mosquito. He gently set down his teacup, the bottom making a crisp, subtle "tap" as it touched the table. Then, he stood up and walked unhurriedly towards the entryway.

Reach out, turn the doorknob, and pull it open.

His figure disappeared inside the door, cutting off the woman's view.

Outside.

Xiao Chen, with one hand in his pocket, indifferently surveyed the five or six men standing in front of the door. Each of them had bulging temples, sharp eyes, and a powerful aura emanating from them. Most of them were hovering around the threshold of Dragon Vein martial artists. The one in the lead, a middle-aged man dressed in black, had an even more profound and heavy aura, clearly having already stepped into the Heavenly River Realm.

His gaze casually swept to the side, and he saw similarly dressed people standing in front of several other villas, negotiating with the owners, some even forcefully entering to search. It seemed the woman inside had indeed caused quite a bit of trouble; to mobilize so many skilled individuals for such a thorough search, she must be someone of considerable influence.

"Boy, did you see a woman dressed in black with her face covered run past?" the middle-aged man in the Heavenly River Realm asked, his tone condescending and impatient.

Xiao Chen shook his head, speaking sparingly: "I saw it, it's in my room."

"Since you didn't... wait? You said you saw it? In your room?"

The man from the riverbank was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Chen with great surprise. "Yes, he's in my house!"

Xiao Chen nodded.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu's heart sank to the bottom. She never expected that this young man would be so shameless, taking her things and not only failing to help her but also betraying her.

The man from the Heavenly River Realm laughed loudly, "Then step aside, we'll go in, grab her, and leave. We won't touch your things." A burly man with a buzz cut and fierce eyes chimed in, his tone forceful, and he reached out to push Xiao Chen, preparing to force his way in.

However, his wrist was firmly gripped by a hand that seemed to casually touch him halfway through his outstretched hand!
Those fingers were long and strong, like iron hoops. The burly man with the buzz cut was startled and immediately tried to break free, but was horrified to find that the other's hand did not budge. His strength, enough to crush bricks and stones, was like a mud ox entering the sea!
"Is this place where you small fry can set foot as you please?"

Xiao Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura that penetrated to the bone, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The burly man with the buzz cut had never been treated with such contempt, especially on his own turf. Enraged, he roared, "Damn it! Do you even know who we are? How dare you…"

"Crack!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding crack interrupted his rant.

The burly man's words came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a piercing scream—his wrist had been snapped in the opposite direction at a bizarre angle! Immediately afterward, Xiao Chen seemingly casually raised his foot and kicked, the movement so fast that only a blur remained.

"Oh!"

The burly man, weighing over 200 pounds, was sent flying backward as if hit by a heavy truck. He slammed hard onto the paved road five or six meters away, rolled several times before coming to a stop, spitting out blood, curling up and unable to get up again.

Xiao Chen took a step forward, just one step, yet it seemed as if an invisible aura spread out from it. His cold gaze swept over the remaining people in front of him, including the middle-aged man in the Heavenly River Realm.

"Use this line as the boundary." Xiao Chen lightly tapped the junction of the steps and the road with his toe, his voice calm yet containing a chilling killing intent, "Anyone who crosses the boundary will die."

“I don’t like repetition.”

Inside the room, Su Yu was stunned.

What's wrong with this young man?

Isn't this about selling yourself out?
Why not just tell the truth and deliberately cause trouble?
She felt like her brain was about to crash.

She had never seen such an arrogant person before.

At that moment, the air outside the door seemed to freeze. The remaining people gasped, involuntarily taking a small step back, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at Xiao Chen. They hadn't even seen the kick clearly, and their companion was already seriously injured. This person's strength far exceeded their expectations!

The man at the Heavenly River Realm also became extremely solemn. He knew he had met a tough opponent today. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and a trace of fear in his heart, and clasped his hands, saying, "Friend, we are from the Lan family in the provincial capital. Tonight, some scoundrels assassinated an important figure of our Lan family and fled here. We are ordered to pursue and capture them, and we must find out the truth. Please do us a favor. The Lan family will surely reward you handsomely in the future."

He invoked the name of the "Lan family of the provincial capital," hoping that the other party would back down or at least give him some face. In the provincial capital, the Lan family's reputation was indeed quite prestigious.

However, Xiao Chen's reaction completely surprised him. The other person's face remained completely expressionless, even revealing a faint, almost mocking smile. (End of Chapter)
