1720 Gods Could Not Save Him
“Fortunately, my men retreated before the target found out.” The secretary suddenly sighed.
“Huh?” Morey glanced at him again.
The secretary briefly told Morey what happened when he sent men to follow Huo Yao.
If they really abducted the girl today, it was one thing if they succeeded. If they failed, it was easy enough for the Huo family to discover that Morey had a hand in this. When the time came, they would probably feel wary about them and their invitation.
“Did she have a lot of bodyguards?” asked Morey.
The secretary nodded. “According to the men, the Huo family keeps a close eye on her.”
Morey crossed his arms looking intrigued. “Interesting.”
First, it was Fan Shun. Then, it was Min Yu. Now, even the Huo family kept a close eye on her. From the looks of it, the young woman probably was not as simple as she seemed.
Before long, the secretary prepared to leave. As he left, he hesitated briefly and finally raised his concerns. “Oh yes. Prince Rocco looks even worse now. Count Kerr, shall we make other plans?”
After all, they had to pick the right side.
“Watch your tongue.” Morey glared at the secretary. “What if Rocco suddenly recovers? You never know.”
The secretary thought about the intel he had about the prince and said, “I doubt that he can make a comeback. No matter what, you should make plans first.”
The professor from Mirage Base said there was no saving him, so even the gods could not save him.
There was no what if.
“I know what to do.” Morey closed his eyes and leaned into the seat backrest.
The secretary did not continue with the subject and quickly left.
**
Huo Yao had already driven back to the Huo residence.
Huo Qing already left an hour ago, rather, he was made to leave.
Huo Yao was not interested in the other people in the clan. When the old butler told her about Huo Qing, she simply listened quietly. After all, she was not planning to stay here for long.
The old butler noticed Huo Yao’s lack of interest. He wanted to tell her about the clan’s internal situation, but he changed his mind. “In that case, let me know if you need me. I’ll leave you to it then.”
After all, she did not grow up with the main clan!
The butler sighed inwardly and turned to leave.
Huo Yao failed to detect the look on the old butler’s face. She pondered briefly and took out her phone to send a text message.
[I got surrounded by people sent by Count Kerr.]
Min Yu was not busy. When he saw his girlfriend’s text message, he narrowed his eyes without replying to it.
Instead, he called her directly and asked. “Did you strike back?”
Huo Yao sighed inwardly, holding her phone. She said, “Nope. I’m always very kind. If I touched them, wouldn’t it seem violent of me?”
If she could use her legs to settle the problem, why bother dirtying her hands, right?
Min Yu was accustomed to the way Huo Yao spoke. He replied powerlessly. “Why do I have a feeling you always get into trouble? Should I put a rope around you to keep you by my side?”
Huo Yao shrugged and felt annoyed. “I probably innately attract trouble.”
She just wanted to laze around doing nothing, but the gods refused to give her any peace!
Min Yu stopped joking with her and responded solemnly. “Count Kerr might be out for me.”
Huo Yao crossed her legs casually. “Who knows, right? Whatever it is, I reckon things will get messy soon. Watch your back!”
Regardless of who Count Kerr wanted, it was the beginning of trouble.
Shangguan Hou was still around.
For the past couple of days, he had not done anything. It seemed as though he had disappeared into thin air and given up on hunting her down. This did not seem normal at all.
