My Ares Son-in-Law

"Ao Tianchen?" Xiao Chen's lips curled into a cold sneer, his eyes flashing with a sharp, icy light. "I will take his life myself sooner or later. You are nothing but an appetizer."

His five fingers suddenly closed together!

"Crack!"

The sharp crack of the neck bone breaking, like a withered branch being snapped in two, exploded in the deathly silent room, drowning out the woman's suppressed sobs, and was particularly jarring.

Xiao Chen gripped the head's hair with his fingertips, expressionless as he lifted the head, its eyes wide open and pupils unfocused... Blood gushed from the severed neck, dripping onto the luxurious Persian carpet, spreading into glaring dark red flowers of blood, like blooming flowers of death, both alluring and grotesque.

The wind blew in through the windows that were never fully closed, carrying with it a thick, pungent smell of blood, mixed with the stench of alcohol and perfume, creating a nauseating stench.

The chill permeated the entire room, even ruffling the stray hairs on Xiao Chen's forehead. In his icy eyes, only a trace of chilling killing intent remained, as if he had just crushed an ant.

He knew very well that taking Li Sheng's head was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Ao family and on Ao Tianchen himself, a war to the death.

And this is exactly what he wants.

Xiao Chen tore off the heavy velvet curtain and wrapped the head tightly... The blood instantly soaked through the fabric, making it heavy in his hands and giving off a warm, fishy smell.

His figure, like a ghost blending into the darkness, silently slipped into the shadows of the hotel corridor, disappearing in a few flashes into the blind spot of the surveillance cameras without leaving a trace.

He had only been gone for three minutes when the three women who had fainted from fright on the bed slowly awoke. As soon as they regained consciousness, a strong stench assaulted their nostrils, causing them to gag. One of them instinctively turned her head, her gaze sweeping across the center of the carpet…

A headless corpse lay there stiffly, its neck severed and bloody, dark red blood spreading along the carpet's texture, staining large areas of the carpet red.

"ah……!!!!"

The piercing scream, so intense it was almost distorted, like the howl of a vengeful ghost being choked, instantly shattered the hotel's silence, penetrating the floors and echoing in the night sky, completely tearing away the tranquil facade of this luxurious club.

……

Western Region, Aojia Mansion.

In the brightly lit courtyard, Ao Tianchen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. His expensive handmade leather shoes crunched over the fallen leaves on the bluestone slabs, turning them into dust with a "tap-tap" sound that betrayed his barely concealed irritation. He glanced at his watch again; the hour hand pointed to 6:30 in the evening… well past his designated time to go home.

He repeatedly dialed Li Sheng and Tie Xuan's numbers, but the cold "no answer" tone kept coming from the receiver. A pricking unease, like a poisonous vine, coiled wildly around his heart, tightening more and more, almost suffocating him.

"You damn fool! You were so engrossed in playing that you forgot the time! When you get back, I'll break your legs!" he cursed under his breath, his tone full of anger, but it seemed more like he was forcibly dispelling the inexplicable panic in his heart.

Just as I sat down in the million-dollar rosewood chair, the encrypted satellite phone on the table suddenly rang urgently... The sharp and piercing ringtone broke the silence of the courtyard like a death knell.

He is Mr. Li's personal driver.

"Chief of Staff..." The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling uncontrollably, almost sobbing, and barely audible.

"Where is he?! Bring Li Sheng back to me now!" Ao Tianchen's anger found an outlet, his voice icy cold. "Where is he fooling around again?!" "Chief... Young Master Li... something happened to him..." The driver stammered, the fear in his voice almost overflowing from the receiver.

Ao Tianchen's heart skipped a beat, but the arrogance and conceit he had cultivated over the years in a high position made him subconsciously think of the "minor" possibility: "What trouble has he gotten into this time? Did he cripple someone's child, or get some woman pregnant? Tell me! Even if the sky falls, I, Ao Tianchen, will hold it up!"

"Let him answer the phone! Now! Immediately!"

There was no sound of Li Sheng on the other end of the phone, only suppressed sobbing and the chattering of teeth.

"Speak! Are you fucking deaf?!" Ao Tianchen's patience was completely exhausted. He roared like thunder, and the sound waves in the receiver almost shattered his eardrums.

The driver seemed terrified by the shout, and screamed in a broken voice, "Chairman! Master Tie Xuan... Master Tie Xuan is dead! Young Master Li... Young Master Li is dead too! The boss... the boss is missing! His body is on the top floor of the Golden Goblet Club!"

"boom……!!!"

A violent and unparalleled shockwave suddenly exploded outwards from Ao Tianchen's center!

The heavy mahogany tea table to his right, along with the entire set of valuable purple clay teaware on it, instantly turned to dust, with wood chips and porcelain shards flying everywhere! Tables, chairs, potted plants, and ornaments within a ten-meter radius were smashed as if by an invisible giant hammer, cracking and shattering, leaving the courtyard in a mess... Even the artificial hill in the distance was shaken and cracked!
“You…say it again?!”

Ao Tianchen's voice was forced out through clenched teeth, each word carrying overwhelming killing intent and unbelievable shock, like the roar of a millennia-old glacier shattering. This news was like a red-hot iron rod, stabbing viciously into his heart, then violently twisting it, causing him excruciating pain that almost suffocated him!

His brother-in-law... is dead? And his head was cut off?

If his wife finds out, she'll skin him alive!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

In this western region, Ao Tianchen is the only ruler! Who dares to touch his people? Who has the guts to take Li Sheng's head right under the nose of Tie Xuan, a master of the Celestial Realm?!

"Sir...it's true! Please come quickly! The club has been surrounded by law enforcement! If you don't come soon..." The driver's voice was on the verge of collapse, broken and choked with sobs.

"If you dare utter a single falsehood, I will exterminate your entire clan!" Ao Tianchen's voice was icy and bloodthirsty, carrying a world-destroying threat.

"Click!"

The steel satellite phone, gleaming with a cold light, was crushed in his palm, its parts flying everywhere. The force in his hand almost shattered the steel, and his knuckles turned white from the pressure.

He took a sudden step forward, and the specially made bluestone slab beneath his feet cracked with a loud "crack," revealing a clear footprint half a foot deep... enough to show that he was furious to the extreme!
Ten minutes later, Ao Tianchen's figure swept in like a raging hurricane, smashing open the carved door of the Golden Goblet Club!
Police lights flashed outside the gate, their alternating red and blue lights illuminating panicked faces. Police tape had already been put up, and the perimeter was crowded with onlookers and busy law enforcement officers.

"The scene is sealed off. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!" Upon seeing this, two uniformed law enforcement officers immediately stepped forward to stop them and reached out to push Ao Tianchen.

"Go away!"

Ao Tianchen didn't even lift his eyelids. His master-level energy burst out, and the light black energy ripples spread out, forming an invisible shockwave!
"Bang! Bang!"

The two law enforcement officers were struck head-on by a speeding truck, screaming as they were thrown several meters backward, crashing heavily into a wall. They coughed up blood and immediately lost consciousness, their fate unknown. (End of Chapter)
