Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 240: The Final Resentments
The match began, and for a while, it seemed like Chen Yong might actually stand a chance. His movements were fluid and unpredictable, keeping Lee on his toes. The spectators watched with renewed hope, cheering every time Chen Yong landed a hit.But Lee Chen was not to be underestimated. With a series of lightning-fast moves, he turned the tables. Before anyone could fully comprehend what had happened, Chen Yong was on the ground, defeated like his predecessors.A heavy silence fell over the dojo. Marcus closed his eyes, his shoulders sagging with the weight of defeat. Racheal stood frozen, her face a mask of disbelief and devastation.Argus's triumphant laugh broke the silence. "Well, well, Marcus. It seems the Autumn family isn't as formidable as you claimed. Now, about that marriage arrangement..."Marcus's eyes snapped open, blazing with defiance. "Now wait just a moment, Argus. The duel isn't over yet."Argus raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And who else do you have to fight? Your disciple

The arena buzzed with anticipation as Miles strode confidently towards the ring. The crowd's chatter died down, all eyes fixed on the newcomer who had made such a bold claim."I can't believe he actually said that," Marcus whispered to Nigel, shaking his head. "One punch? Against Lee? He's lost his mind."Nigel nodded in agreement, his earlier excitement now replaced with skepticism. "I thought Miles had a chance, but this... this is just arrogance."As Miles approached, Argus stepped forward, a mocking grin plastered across his face. "Well, well, well. If it isn't our one-punch wonder. Care to enlighten us on your secret technique, champ?"Miles didn't even spare Argus a glance as he walked past, heading straight for the ring."What's the matter, tough guy?" Argus called after him. "Cat got your tongue? Or are you saving your breath for that miraculous punch?"Still, Miles remained silent, climbing into the ring with fluid grace.Lee, already waiting in the opposite corner, sneered a

As they made their way through the crowd, people reached out, trying to touch Miles, to congratulate him. Whispers and exclamations followed in their wake."Did you see that?""One punch, just like he said!""Who is this guy?""He's incredible!"Connie and her friends watched from a distance, their eyes following Miles' progress."Do you think he has a girlfriend?" Emma asked, her voice hopeful.Connie shook her head. "I don't know, but I'm definitely going to find out. A guy like that... he's one in a million."As they reached the exit, a reporter managed to push through the security cordon. "Miles! Miles! Can you tell us how you developed this technique? How long have you been training? What's next for you?"Miles paused, looking at the reporter. For a moment, it seemed he might ignore the questions as he had all night. But then, to everyone's surprise, he spoke."This isn't about technique or training," he said, his voice quiet but carrying clearly in the sudden hush. "It's about u

Argus's eyes narrowed. "What are you getting at?"Miles smiled slightly. "All in good time. For now, why don't we all sit down and enjoy the meal? We can discuss the details afterward."Marcus, sensing an opportunity to defuse the tension, quickly chimed in. "Yes, excellent idea! The food's getting cold, and I'm sure we could all use a moment to... collect ourselves."Rachael, who had been watching the exchange with growing concern, stepped forward. "I think that's a wonderful suggestion. Shall we?" She gestured toward the dining room.As the group began to move, Connie caught up with Miles. "That was... intense," she whispered. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"Miles gave her a reassuring smile. "More than sure. Just watch."They filed into the dining room, the air still thick with unresolved tension. As they took their seats, Marcus cleared his throat."Before we begin, I'd like to propose a toast," he said, raising his glass. "To new friendships, unexpected outcomes, and..

Miles shrugged. "The satisfaction of a job well done. And perhaps a small consulting fee."The room was quiet as everyone processed this information.Marcus was the first to break the silence. "It's... it's brilliant. Everyone wins. The land is developed responsibly, both families benefit, and the community prospers."Argus, his earlier anger replaced by a mixture of respect and wariness, nodded slowly. "It could work. But the details would need to be ironed out.""Of course," Miles agreed. "I'm sure your lawyers and the Autumn family's representatives can work out the specifics."As the reality of the situation sank in, the atmosphere in the room began to shift. The tension that had dominated the evening started to dissipate, replaced by a cautious optimism.Rachael beamed at Miles. "You planned this all along, didn't you?"Miles simply smiled in response.As the dessert was served, the conversation turned to the potential benefits of the partnership, the challenges they might face,

Inside, Miles collapsed onto the couch, the room spinning around him. He wasn't sure how much time had passed when he heard the front door open and close."Miles? Are you here?" Lola's voice called out, a sharp edge to her tone.Miles groaned, forcing himself to sit up. "In the living room," he called back, his voice hoarse.Lola appeared in the doorway, her eyes narrowing as she took in his disheveled appearance. Without a word, she turned and headed upstairs, her footsteps heavy on the stairs."Lola, wait," Miles called after her, but she didn't respond.He heard the bedroom door slam shut, and he winced. Fumbling for his phone, he squinted at the bright screen, trying to focus on the banking app. With clumsy fingers, he navigated to the transfer page and, after a moment's hesitation, typed in "90,000,000" in the amount field.As he hit send, a notification popped up on his screen. A new contact: "Rachael ".Miles frowned, trying to remember when he had added that. The events of the
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law Chapter 246: The Supermarket Crises
Upon entering the supermarket, Miles was greeted by the automatic doors swinging open, ushering in a cool breeze and the comforting sounds of bustling activity. He rapidly looked over the aisles, observing the organized shelves and the busy customers. "Hey Miles! Ethan James exclaimed with a wide grin, "I wasn't anticipating your visit today." "Why are you here?" Miles gave Ethan a pat on the shoulder. "Just wanted to stop in and check on how things are progressing." And I must admit, I'm impressed." Ethan's eyes sparked with excitement. "Is that so? I have been putting in effort to put into place some new tactics. "Come, let me give you a tour." While strolling in the store, Ethan excitedly identified different enhancements. "We've changed the arrangement to enhance the movement of people," he said, pointing towards the spacious pathways. "And over here, we've introduced a local produce section. It's been a hit with the customers."Miles nodded approvingly. "I can see that. The

Miles couldn't resist smiling. He shifted his focus to the cluster of youthful men causing chaos. Their disappointment was evident as their efforts to create a disturbance failed. Miles nonchalantly walked over to them. "Sorry, sirs." Earlier, I couldn't avoid hearing about your worries. I'm wondering, have you made any recent purchases here yourselves?" The young men exchanged uneasy glances. One of them spoke up, "Well, no, but we heard—"Miles interrupted him in a kind manner. "I understand." As someone who is heavily involved in running this store, I can guarantee our dedication to providing quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction. Actually, we are aiming to enhance and broaden our services more extensively. But don't just take my word for it - why not give us a chance? I believe you will be happily shocked. The young men shifted uneasily, evidently caught off guard by the direct confrontation. Miles continued, saying, "I'll tell you something," as he reached into

Miles knelt down to her level, smiling softly. "We did, sweetheart. But winning was just the first step. Now we have to make sure it stays won."Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"Miles quickly looked at his family, then shifted his focus back to Sarah. "We still have a large amount of work in front of us." Nevertheless, I think we are prepared for the challenge. Do you want to assist us in improving the city? Sarah nodded with great enthusiasm. "May I work as your aide?" The room was filled with laughter, relieving the tension that was growing. Miles stood and playfully tousled Sarah's hair. "You have the ability to become anything you desire, young one. "That is the main objective." Maxwell cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Miles, there's something else we need to discuss. About your role in the family."Miles tensed, memories of their past conflicts flooding back. "Dad, I-"Maxwell held up a hand. "Let me finish. I was wrong, son. I tried t

Miles paused at the door, turning back to face his defeated enemy. "You're right about one thing, Ethan. It's not over. It's just beginning. But this time, we're building something better. Something just."With that, they left, racing towards the Lyon compound. While driving through the city streets, they observed evidence of the night's happenings all around - police barriers, lights flashing, and groups of spectators. "What do you think Joseph Lyon has?" Lola asked, her brow furrowed with concern.Miles shook his head. "I don't know, but we can't let him walk. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."They arrived at the Lyon compound to find it in chaos. Creek family members and newly arrived police officers were everywhere, securing the premises and rounding up Lyon family members and associates.Elena met them at the entrance, her face grim. "Joseph's in the basement. He's threatening to upload some kind of dossier to the internet if we don't let him go.""What's in the dossier?"

Elena's voice came through, tense but steady. "She's inside. Ethan took the bait. He's got her in his office."Miles tightened his fists, suppressing the anxiety eating away at his stomach. "Okay then. I am entering. Always remain committed to the plan, regardless of any obstacles that may arise. With that, he walked confidently towards the front door, feeling his heart racing but remaining determined. The guards by the entrance became tense when he neared. Miles declared that he is here to visit Ethan with a commanding tone that left no room for disagreement. The guards nervously looked at each other before one of them communicated on his radio. After a brief pause, they moved out of the way, letting Miles go through. While strolling through the grand corridors, Miles couldn't shake the thought of the countless lives ruined to uphold this image of authority and extravagance. He prepared himself, aware that tonight marked the end of everything. He reached Ethan's office door, pau
Chapter 267: The Showdown
Miles took a deep breath, his mind racing with possibilities. "We need to create a distraction. Something big enough to draw Ethan's attention away from his office."Lola stepped forward, her face set with determination. "I have an idea. But you're not going to like it."Miles turned to her, concern etched on his face. "Lola, what are you thinking?""Me," she said simply. "I'll turn myself in to Ethan. Tell him I'm abandoning you, that I want to make a deal.""Absolutely not," Miles said firmly. "It's too dangerous."Lola stood her ground. "It's the perfect distraction. Ethan won't be able to resist the opportunity to use me against you.""She's right," Rachel interjected. "Ethan's obsessed with destroying you, Miles. Having Lola in his grasp would be irresistible."Miles shook his head, his voice rising. "No, I won't risk you like that. There has to be another way.""There isn't," Lola insisted. "We're running out of time and options. This is our best shot."Maxwell placed a hand on

"Dad!" he called out. "This way!"In some way, amidst the chaos and lack of light, they succeeded in coming together again and leaving the cabin. In the woods, they ran without direction, with the sound of their pursuers not far behind. "There's a river approaching," Maxwell gasped while they ran. "If we manage to get across, we could risk losing them." They continued moving forward, with branches lashing their faces and the ground unpredictable beneath their feet. At last, the sound of water rushing reached their ears. "We arrived," Elena wheezed. But as they reached the riverbank, a shot rang out. Miles felt a searing pain in his arm and stumbled."Miles!" Lola cried out."I'm fine," he forced through clenched teeth. "We must continue to keep going forward." Stepping into the icy water, they could hear their pursuers approaching nearer. Miles glanced behind him and observed flashlights moving among the trees. With a sinking heart, he came to the realization that we will not be
Chapter 265: The Twisted Path
While driving in uncomfortable silence, the city lights disappeared in the distance. After what felt like an endless amount of time, Dorian veered onto a dirt path that twisted through thick forests. "He declared that we are nearly there." Out of nowhere, headlights were visible in the rearview mirror. Dorian muttered curses quietly. "They've found us."Miles twisted in his seat, his heart pounding. "How? We were so careful!""Questions later," Dorian growled, pressing down on the accelerator. "Hold on, everyone!"The vehicle surged ahead, jolting harshly over the bumpy road. Sarah began to weep, and Lola tried her hardest to console her while hanging on tightly. "That way!" Elena yelled while indicating the direction in front. A tiny cabin appeared, tucked in between the trees. Maxwell came to a halt in front of the cabin. "Everybody, leave!" "Hurry up!" They scrambled out of the car, Miles helping Lola with Sarah while Elena and Maxwell grabbed what few bags they had managed t
Chapter 264: The Chase Intensifies
It's a gamble," she remarked, "but there's a chance it could succeed." Count me in. One after another, the rest of the Autumns concurred. When they joined hands to confirm their sudden collaboration, Miles felt a spark of hope for the first time in weeks. Miles did not realize that another person was secretly listening to their conversation. In a room on the upper floor, Maximilian Autumn, the eldest child of Nigel and heir of the Autumn family, was having a conversation on the telephone. "Did you get all that, Ethan?" Maximilian whispered.On the other end of the line, Ethan Chariot's voice crackled. "Every word. Good work, Maximilian. Your family's betrayal won't be forgotten when this is all over."Maximilian's grip tightened on the phone. "Just remember our deal. When the dust settles, I want control of both the Autumn and Chariot families."Ethan chuckled darkly. "Of course. As long as you hold up your end, you'll get everything we agreed upon. Now, let's discuss how we're goi
Chapter 263: Unexpected Allies
While embracing each other, both fully conscious of the peril nearby, a faint voice was heard from the staircase. "Mom?" Father? "What's happening?" Miles and Lola looked in the direction Sarah was standing, her worried expression evident on her small face. They shared a glance, aware that their future decisions would impact not only their destiny, but also that of their daughter and the whole city. Miles kneeled and extended his arms towards Sarah. "Sweetheart, please come over here." Mom and Dad have something significant they need to inform you about. While Sarah embraced them, Miles and Lola promised quietly to defend their family and seek retribution against anyone who posed a threat. The larger view was starting to become clear, bringing with it the understanding that their lives were about to change forever. The sudden ringing of the doorbell surprised Miles and Lola, interrupting their quiet chat. Miles cautiously approached the door, looking through the peephole. Surpris
Chapter 262: The Shocking Revelation
He was startled by the ringing of the doorbell. He opened the door and saw Rachael Autumn standing there, her face showing signs of worry. "Rachael? What are you doing here?" Miles asked, ushering her inside.Rachael wrung her hands nervously. "Miles, we need to talk. It's about your family... and mine."Miles' eyes narrowed. "You mean how your family has been lying to me all this time? Using me?"Rachael flinched. "It's not like that, Miles. We didn't have a choice.""There's always a choice, Rachael," Miles spat. "You could have told me the truth.""And you?" Rachael shot back. "You lied too. You said you were single, that you were just Miles Autumn. Was that all a ploy to get close to us, to get information?"Miles stepped back, stunned. "What? No, I... I never said I was single. I just... I didn't mention my family because I was trying to protect them."Rachael's eyes softened. "I believe you, Miles. But you have to understand, we're all caught up in something bigger than ourselv
