Chapter 1740 - 1740 A Trade
1740 A Trade
One Huo Yulin was enough. With Huo Yao around, no one knew where the power in the clan would fall one day.
This was not what they wanted.
Even if Huo Jinfeng’s niece was just an ordinary woman with no special skills, they had to be wary of her.
Huo Qing smiled coldly.
His subordinate promptly realized whom Huo Qing was referring to. He nodded and said, “I understand.”
“Uh huh.”
Huo Qing leaned into the seat backrest without talking any further.
His phone rang in his pocket at this moment.
It was an unknown phone number.
Huo Qing did not answer unknown phone calls, so he hung up the phone without a second thought.
In a few seconds, he received another call from the same number.
Huo Qing’s hand paused briefly before he answered the phone. “Hello? Okay. See you later.”
After hanging up the phone, something changed about the expression on Huo Qing’s face.
His subordinate asked cautiously. “Master Qing, who was that?”
“It was a call from Count Kerr’s residence. He wants to see us.” Huo Qing held his phone thinking about why he suddenly wanted to see him.
The subordinate was a little surprised. “Count Kerr? We don’t get along with them. Why would he suddenly ask to see you?”
“I’m not sure either.” Huo Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Are you going to meet him then?” The subordinate had already heard Huo Qing’s answer over the phone.
“Uh huh. Let’s go. No harm finding out what they are trying to do, right?” Huo Qing was unafraid of any danger. Even if they had disputes between them, no one would do anything openly.
This meant Count Kerr was planning something.
“What if it’s a trap…” Before the subordinate was able to finish his sentence, Huo Qing interrupted him impatiently. “It’s okay.”
Huo Qing gave the subordinate the address for the meeting.
“Okay then.” The subordinate could only stop probing.
Before long, he took a u-turn at the street up ahead.
…
20 minutes later, the car arrived at the rendezvous point as provided by Count Kerr.
It was a clubhouse.
The staff showed Huo Qing to a private room. When he got to the room, Morey was already waiting there.
“Hi, Mr. Huo.” Morey kept sitting in the chair with no intention to get up. He simply raised his hand and gestured at the couch in front of him for Huo Qing to take a seat.
“Count Kerr.” Huo Qing nodded slightly.
After his subordinate shook his head to confirm there was no danger in the room, he sat down and cut to the chase. “Why did you ask to meet, Count Kerr?”
Morey smiled. He poured some coffee for Huo Qing. “I was hoping to make a friend.”
“Oh really? That sounds fresh. Everyone knows our families don’t get along, right?” Huo Qing put on a fake smile.
“We might have conflicts, but it’s not enough to kill, right, Mr. Huo?” Morey raised his chin. His secretary standing behind him handed a document to Huo Qing. “Consider this proof of my sincerity.”
Huo Qing glanced at Morey before he took the document from the secretary.
Before long, Huo Qing raised his head hastily with a look of surprise on his face. “This…”
Morey picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. “Blaye often suffers from unrest, but I’m sure Mr. Huo knows about its potential, right?”
Huo Qing held the contract in his hand. He naturally knew about the situation at Blaye. Someone found a treasure there, so all eyes were on it.
The Huo family wanted a piece of the pie, but Huo Jinfeng had disallowed them to take any action, so no one dared to mention it again.
