Chapter 126: The God of War is my Son-In-Law!
“Honey? I never thought I’d see you here!”
A young man dressed in mundane clothes and with an ordinary face came over and spoke to Yang Jingwan.
She frowned upon hearing that nickname from her… husband, as a look of both helplessness and resistance were engraved upon her face.
She had absolutely no feelings whatsoever for “honey”.
Though the two have been married for almost a year, she’s always kept her distance from him, never once even holding hands with him.
To that end, she remained silent, not even bothering to return the other party’s greeting.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Manli* let loose a torrent of vicious words.
1*: The mom.
“Su Lang, why are you here? Who told you that can come with us?! Hurry up and go back!”
“I didn’t come with you; I’m with someone else,” he replied.
“Don’t even bother with that laughable excuse of yours. You’re a househusband who can’t do anything but cook. Who would invite you here?” Li Manli disdainfully stated.
“Su Lang, please, just leave.” Even Yang Tai* was ashamed of his son-in-law.
2*: The dad.
“Su Lang, just go…” Yang Jingwan couldn’t help but agree with the other two.
“This banquet wouldn’t even reach its finale without me.” As he spoke, Su Lang turned his nose up.
The other three felt that he was delusional. How else could he say such a thing?
But as for Wang Haoran, he didn’t doubt it one bit.
‘Yang Jingwan’s family is the perfect example of the “powerful son-in-law” trope…’
‘Su Lang is a protagonist for sure.’
‘But the question is what kind of protagonist he is.’
At the start, such protagonists usually just lick the dirt off their wife’s feet, which slowly changes as he goes through fortuitous encounters one after the other.
It then turns out that he’s the heir of some big corporation, but because of the nonsensical nature of the clan’s rules, he had to undergo training for a period of 3 years. It is during these 3 years that he becomes a son-in-law by chance. Once these years end, the crazy face-slapping routines will begin.
There is also a God of War routine, in which he willingly becomes the son-in-law because of a piece of candy or meal he received previously.
— — —
‘Not all protagonists start off as powerful.’
‘Some are just simps that merely lick the dirt off their wives’ heels. It takes time for them to develop, meaning that – early on – they are quite weak.’
‘It’s better to deal with them in the early stages.’
‘Then there’s the heir-of-a-big-corporation protagonists, one that has huge wealth and many connections.’
‘Not that big of a problem. Since money is their only strength, their combat value is low.’
‘The most tricky is the God of War type protagonist.’
‘These protagonists are ridiculously strong…’
While thinking of these things, Wang Haoran examined Su Lang who was right in front of him, it was easy for him to identify which type he belonged to.
Wang Haoran discretely ordered the system to use up 100 Villain Points to check.
However, he was rejected by the system:
[Error! 200 Villain Points required!]
‘How come the price has gone up?’
‘Is it because the fish this time is special?’
However, he currently had plenty of Villain Points, there was no need to fuss over such a small amount.
[Protagonist: Su Lang]
[Combat Value: 1000]
[Charm: 125]
[Protagonist Halo: 999]
[Skills:
God of War’s Wrath

Skill Duration: 1 hour One Hit Kill
Description: “If man blocks my way then I will kill man, and if God blocks my way then I shall kill God!”
Cooldown: 12 hours]
3Kshn: Yeah, the pain you felt while reading it, I have also experienced it. By the way, Invincibility and One Hit Kill are sub-skills of God of War’s Invincibility
With a Combat Value of 1000, he was 99 points lower than Wang Haoran.
The same went for his Protagonist Halo of 999.
Wang Haoran found all of this to be completely acceptable.
‘However… aside from the [God of War’s Wrath] and [God of War’s Prestige], isn’t the [God of War’s Invincibility] too much?’
‘The moment he receives a fatal injury, he simply enters a state of [Invincibility] for 1 hour, and gets [One Hit Kill] on top of that?!’
‘How does that even happen?’
‘This protagonist is simply too shameless!’
‘No wonder it costs 200 Villain Points just to get his info.’
‘Fortunately, the [God of War’s Invincibility] is a passive skill, and it has a long cooldown.’
‘If I plan my moves well, there’s a good chance I can win.’
“Wouldn’t reach its finale without you? I think you’re losing your mind from all the cooking you’ve been doing!” Li Manli simply couldn’t accept Su Lang’s haughty attitude, immediately coming at him with another attack.
“Don’t believe me?”
“I believe that you’re an arrogant fool!”
“Haha!” Su Lang put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly.
“You-“
“Mom, stop. There are too many people here, so please… we can’t afford to suffer any more humiliation.”
Upon seeing that several guests had turned their attention to them, Yang Jingwan hurriedly intervened.
“I need to teach him once we are home.” Rather than continue this argument, Li Manli merely stared at Su Lang with cold eyes.
The family soon left.
Li Manli came here for a reason. Obviously, she hadn’t forgotten.
“Mom, who organized this reception?” Seeing them leave, Wang Haoran immediately asked Zhen Li.
“Ma Hongsheng, the richest man in our Qingling, he’s also the president of the Qingling Chamber of Commerce. If you see him later, you should be more polite. He isn’t someone we can take lightly.”
Wang Haoran nodded and thought.
‘If I take Su Lang’s word for it, Ma Hongsheng probably organized this whole reception just for him.’
‘Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a bold declaration earlier.’
‘The moment Ma Hongsheng appears and treats Su Lang with respect, the Yang family will be shocked for sure.’
‘Not only will this cast a better light on him, he’ll also gain the Yang family’s favour.’
‘I need to stop this!’
“And where is Ma Hongsheng, mom?”
“He probably isn’t here yet, if he is, we’ll know.” Zhen Li glanced around the hall and responded.
“Sorry, I seem to have left my phone in your car. I’ll go get it.” Wang Haoran said, finding an excuse to leave.
“Oh, sure.” Zhen Li handed out the Ferrari key.
Wang Haoran took the key and immediately went to the parking outside the villa.
He opened the car door, and entered the Ferrari, observing the many vehicles that came to the villa. At the same time, he used his phone to look up Ma Hongsheng on the internet.
After about eight minutes, five cars drove towards them in an orderly line.
Of the 5, 4 were Brunswick Maybachs, with the remaining being a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The Maybachs were in an escort formation, two at the front, and two at the back, while the Rolls-Royce Phantom stayed in the middle.
Wang Haoran immediately examined it using his [X-Ray Vision], finding large men in suits and leather shoes in each of the 4 Maybachs.
‘Bodyguards…’
And in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, sat a short and unremarkable middle-aged man.
As he looked at the man’s appearance, Wang Haoran immediately recognized him as Ma Hongsheng.
‘As expected of the richest man in Qingling, he brought nearly 20 bodyguards on the trip. What’s more, he gave the bodyguards Maybachs to drive.’
‘What a rich b*****d…’
