My Ares Son-in-Law

“Master Xiao, I am willing to give up everything I own to provide for all your needs, just so I can stay by your side.”

"Even if it's just serving tea and water, I'm willing to do it!"

“Master Xiao, you are a living god! We were blind and missed a true god.”

"Please, be magnanimous and don't hold it against us!"

The crowd knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, fearing that Xiao Chen would hold a grudge against them for what had happened before. They completely forgot their identities and status, each more devout and more despicable than the last.

Chen Jianguo was truly dumbfounded when he saw this.

This group of people are usually arrogant and haughty. When they see Xiao Chen, they won't say a word, treating him like just another passerby.

But now, they've all knelt down in front of Xiao Chen—this is utterly outrageous.

Looking at these people, he was reminded of his previous foolish actions.

Xiao Chen was absolutely right. He had never fully trusted Xiao Chen from the beginning. He only turned to Xiao Chen because he couldn't find anyone else who could solve the Chen family's problems.

As soon as Huang Qiankun appeared, he mistook Xiao Chen for a swindler.

I was so stupid and ridiculous. Luckily, Xiao Chen didn't take those things seriously, and luckily, I didn't completely offend Xiao Chen. Otherwise, there would have been no chance for the Chen family to turn things around.

Compared to Chen Jianguo's regret, Yu Zhiqiang was utterly terrified and desperate. His mind was filled with the scene of Xiao Chen killing Huang Qiankun, and he felt that he might end up like that.

"No, I can't just wait to die like this. I only made a couple of sarcastic remarks to Master Xiao, and I didn't completely offend him. As long as I do everything I can to beg for forgiveness, I should still be able to save my life. These important people care about face. As long as I give them enough face, and there's no deep-seated hatred between us, they should forgive me. No, they definitely will!"

Thinking of this, he disregarded his status and scrambled to Xiao Chen's side, not caring that his knees were scraped raw.

“Master Xiao! Master Xiao, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I deserve to die! I was deceived by that beast Huang Qiankun! He told me that he was a legitimate successor of the Taoist school. He said he could help me with feng shui, change my fortune, and bring good luck and avoid misfortune. I was confused for a moment and treated him as an honored guest.”

"I didn't know he was an evil cultivator, I didn't know he raised those man-eating demons! Master Xiao, I beg you to see the truth, I beg you to spare my dog's life!"

"Master Xiao, I'm willing to compensate! I'm willing to compensate for anything! I'll pay five million to each of the families of those servants, no, ten million! As long as you spare me, I'll give you any amount of money, and I'm willing to give you anything!"

"Yes, that's right. I can also give you all the properties under my name, just like Chen Jianguo did. I won't even bat an eye!"

Yu Zhiqiang was desperate to save his life. Money is just an external thing; what's the point of having it if you can't even save your life?

Xiao Chen looked down at Yu Zhiqiang, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He thought of Yu Zhiqiang's previous arrogant and domineering manner and found it truly laughable.

Seeing that Xiao Chen remained silent, Yu Zhiqiang assumed she wouldn't agree and nearly fainted with anxiety. His mind raced: "Right, right, I heard you're still living with someone else. I have a detached villa in the east of the city. It has a huge garden and a private swimming pool, a prime location, worth at least two hundred million! I'll transfer the villa to you right now—no, no, I'll give it to you for free!" "Please, have mercy on me! I promise I'll never dare to do it again! I was so foolish before!"

"Alright, I'll take the villa. As for the properties under your name, you can keep them yourself. I really don't have time to manage those worthless businesses. As for your life, you can keep it yourself. I'm not some kind of murderous maniac!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.

Yu Zhiqiang made a mistake, so he has to pay the price; otherwise, he won't learn his lesson.

This villa serves as a lesson.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yu Zhiqiang felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He instantly collapsed to the ground, all strength drained from his body. Then, as if grasping at a lifeline, he began kowtowing repeatedly on the floor tiles, his kowtows echoing loudly. He kept repeating, "Thank you, Master Xiao! Thank you, Master Xiao! I will never forget Master Xiao's great kindness!"

Qin Xianglan was completely stunned when she saw this scene.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Mr. Xiao truly lived up to his name; no matter the industry or the place, he was an absolute force to be reckoned with.

The man sat there, dressed in ordinary clothes. He wasn't strikingly handsome, nor did he try to be flamboyant or put on airs. Yet, the aura he exuded at that moment was incredibly powerful.

That air of composure and ease, as if he held life and death in his own hands, made everyone present want to kneel down and willingly submit.

"Get up. What are you still kneeling for? Do you really want me to help you up?" Xiao Chen said coldly to Yu Zhiqiang.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Zhiqiang was startled and struggled to stand up, grabbing the chair.

He knew that he had saved his life today. As for the future, as long as he performed well, he should be able to gain Xiao Chen's appreciation. Such a big shot, not to mention his terrifying influence in all walks of life, his terrifying strength alone was worth him doing everything he could to befriend.

“Listen to me, that villa is a lesson for you. Don’t think this is the end of it. I’m very dissatisfied with what you did today. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused the Feng Shui circle in the western region? You even caused someone to die because of it!” Xiao Chen’s voice gradually turned cold.

"I know, I know everything, I was blinded by greed!" Yu Zhiqiang knelt down again, feeling more comfortable and at ease while kneeling.

"Just keep going. The villa you give me isn't important. What's important is those who died. You must do your best to make amends. If I find out you've broken your promise, I guarantee you'll disappear from this planet within a minute!" As he spoke, he suddenly pointed his finger, and a chair in the distance shattered into dust.

"Just like this chair, I don't think you'd want it either."

Yu Zhiqiang trembled with fear: "I will do everything you say, and I will never dare to have any complaints."

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. This is a small matter, you don't need to trouble yourself to watch over him. If he doesn't do as you say, I can make him wish he were dead!"

Beside her, Qin Xianglan looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of admiration, even love.

She liked Xiao Chen, and she never hid it. Although she knew she could never be with him, she figured one-sided devotion was still worthwhile. (End of Chapter)
