*****"Channeling my qi to deal with you insignificant ants is nothing but a mockery and smack to my face," Ares remarked coldly as he observed the fifty men who had encircled him. “You!!!” They became incredibly infuriated, hearing Ares and seeing how little regard he had for them despite them being fifty times his number.“Kill this fucking bastard already!” The leader yelled and following that, the fourth-nine men rushed at Ares in unison, some with nightsticks, some with knives, some with cutlasses, and some with bottles.Watching this, however, Ares did not falter. Instead, he remained unmoving as they neared him aggressively.Just two to three feet from the fifty men closing in, each swinging their weapons in perfect synchronization, fully aware that they couldn't underestimate him, Ares's eyes flickered with coldness. “Now!” He growled from his throat and with that, he took a single step forward.The following moment, bang! Someone was sent flying.“You fucking bastar
*****“Water! Please just a drop of water!!!”“Please grant me death!”“I’m begging you, please release me from this hell!”“I can’t handle this anymore!”“Mercy please!!!”These were the sorts of cries that filled the dark underground bunker as soon as Ares stepped through it.The voices resonated with the most excruciating agony Ares had ever heard before in his life, nearly matching the intensity he felt when Jackal was consuming his soul and spirit just days prior.Not to be overlooked, Ares's eyesight had greatly improved, allowing him to see clearly even in the darkest conditions. As a result, darkness held no power over him anymore.He was able to see all the people making these cries, causing chillness to hysterically run down his spine and goosebumps to crawl amok on his skin.Within the bunker, several individuals were suspended in the middle of poles, the shafts piercing through their heads and emerging from their private areas.Some were just blood figures, with
*****“Hello.” Marcus smiled heartily at Ares, looking down on him.Ares’s hair immediately stood at the end. He had been too distracted by the scene of the father and daughter duo earlier to notice the formation wall at their front.He felt a massive level of danger and he immediately wanted to roll away. The following second, however, he realized that all his Qi had been locked, rendering him useless and turning him into a mere mortal.Just then, bang! A fist hit him square in the face, sending him flying rapidly toward the father and daughter duo. The next second, A Ares was knocked into the formation screen again and he was sent flying back before crashing down just as he was about to reach Marcus.“Hahahaha!” Marcus laughed heartily, then he glanced at Manager Mo, who was also incredibly excited, seeing Ares suffer.“You’ve done a perfect job, managing to control him here and making him lose guard.”“I…” Manager Mo smiled sheepishly and wanted to respond when suddenly, he
*****At this moment, Ares's gaze was piercing, his jaw tightly clenched, and he quivered with an overpowering rage.He gripped his fists as he stared at Old Man Lean who had been turned into a waste for the rest of his life.Thanks to the medical skills from his inheritance, Ares was able to induce sleep in the old man with just a few precise touches on his acupuncture points, halting his agonizing cries."Any ambulance with you?" Ares glanced at Andrew, who remained unusually quiet, likely due to the icy atmosphere emanating from him.“They are rescuing those outside.”“Can those people still be rescued?” Ares hurriedly inquired with hope, recalling the scene outside the room.“I…” Andrew opened his mouth, but he wasn’t able to respond, knowing that it was nothing but a pipe dream if he were to claim that they were rescuable.Already thinking this much, Ares sighed. “Have someone send this old man to the hospital. Although he would not be able to use his limbs again, staying
*****Inside a conference room.Apart from a massive television illuminating it, it was incredibly dark. That wasn’t all. The conference room was filled with a creepy coldness that bore deeply into everybody’s mind and although it should have been silent, the pounding of hearts would not let it.Everybody wore pale faces as they continued staring at the screen until finally, a low voice sounded.“Was that not the bastard who claimed to need no help yesterday?”As soon as everybody in the conference room heard this, they swallowed hard and hurriedly looked at the figure on the head table who had a scary mask covering his face.None of them could respond, but then suddenly, the leader snorted, instantly causing an invisible attack to hit everybody’s soul. They all groaned slightly from pain.“I’m giving you all just a week to locate that motherfucker!”The voice of the mask-faced guy abruptly boomed and then following that, his finger pointed at the television screen, at an extr
*****In the Villa.As soon as Ares’s voice was heard, all eyes turned in his direction and then Ava jumped to her feet and yelled. “How dare you bastard return to this house, tell me?!!!”Her voice was suddenly filled to the brim with aggression and fury, causing Ares’s mouth to open wide.“Why will I not return, Mother? Have you forgotten that I live here now?” He inquired blankly, looking incredibly confused.“You… you nonentity bastard! You loser of a man! How dare you argue with me!” Ava became further incensed and she almost started spitting out flame from her eyes at Ares."What’s wrong?" Ares finally noticed that his mother-in-law was acting differently. She was genuinely furious tonight. While she had never been fond of him, he had never heard so much anger and hatred in her voice before.She started breathing at the top of her lungs, her face turning crimson red from holding back her excessive outrage, and then she glared at her daughter."I swear by all that is holy
*****“Was I too harsh?” Once in her room, Olivia with her back resting on her door suddenly frowned and mumbled to herself.The image of Ares's dumbfounded pained expression after she called his life miserable lingered in her thoughts, causing her heart to ache with regret.Originally, she had planned to clarify things to Ares about herself and Olive, to dispel his misconceptions. However, she had never anticipated that what awaited her upon returning home was a video from her mother of Ares attempting to escape from a restaurant without paying for the meals he had ordered."No! How could I feel sorry for that shameless loser again? I’m certain he must have bumped into Olive and me while trying to flee from the restaurant without paying his debts."Olivia became enraged again and her breathing quickened. She had never anticipated that Ares would be so shameless.‘Why had I even expected better from someone who had chosen to ruin my life for money,” she abruptly scoffed.“I jus
*****Ares thought he had forgotten the horror he experienced that night, but unfortunately, he only wished that.He was awoken more than two times during his sleep from nightmares concerning the hell on earth.The third time, Ares decided not to sleep again since it was almost morning, so he got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everybody, also to appease his mother-in-law and wife.“Where did you even find such a failure of a man out of all the countless great men in the world?”Ares, who had just finished preparing breakfast immediately smiled wryly, hearing Ava’s voice.He cleaned his hands with a napkin before stepping out of the kitchen.Olivia, who was already dressed beautifully for work, and Ava were climbing down the staircase.“Good morning Mother good morning, wife,” Ares greeted with a handsome smile on his face, startling the mother and daughter duo who had never expected his sudden appearance.Ava instantly shifted a fierce glare in his direct
