Chapter 329: Chapter 329: The Ruthlessness of Third Master is Hidden in His Bones (Additional Update)

Upon hearing that, a slight arc of a smile appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s lips. His eyes were deep and dangerous, and while his voice lost its previous gentleness, it carried a chill, "This isn’t an olive branch to me, more like a threat to Huo Family. Is the Bolin Family planning to openly oppose the Huo Family?"

Nicholas hastily replied, "No, we hope for friendly relations between our two families."

A hint of mockery flashed in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes as he replied, his tone deep and intimidating, "You and my second brother were schoolmates. Given your relationship, I believe it’s sufficient for maintaining friendly ties between our families."

Nicholas, "But..."

Huo Yunjiao, tone heavy, sternly interrupted, "Young Master Nicholas, I’m quite content with my life as it is and I’d prefer not to be disturbed, do you understand?"

Nicholas raised his hands defensively, sounding very defeated, "I understand."

"Good, then let my second brother entertain you. I will take my leave."

As he turned to leave, Huo Chuan stepped forward to close the door of the office, then hurried to follow his master’s retreating figure.

Inside the office.

After his younger brother left, Huo Yirong chuckled.

He sat leisurely on the sofa, sitting in an undignified and casual manner, but his inherent noble aura remained unaffected.

"Come on, Nicholas, there’s no need to keep up appearances. What do you really want from this visit?"

Huo Yirong wasn’t as carefree as he seemed on the surface.

The fact that the Bolin Family had complete knowledge of the issue that someone had hired a Nanyang Taoist to deal with his younger brother indicated their extensive and powerful network in the Capital City.

But, if Bolin Family’s influence has indeed spread inside the Capital City, there’s no way the Huo Family wouldn’t have noticed it.

Huo Yirong was keen to know where they got the information from.

Nicholas smiled mysteriously, "Naturally, we are here to discuss a marriage alliance between our families. My father hopes for Leslie to establish a family with Huo Yunjiao."

Huo Yirong scoffed, "I think it’s more like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh. My third brother is precious. Even if there is a need for a marriage alliance in the Huo Family, we surely wouldn’t want to bring a woman who’s been married thrice and even killed all three of her husbands into our family."

"Those men deserved to die, they betrayed Leslie."

Nicholas defended his sister, the protectiveness in his words reflected the good relationship between them.

Huo Yirong responded with a smirk, "My third brother is already married, and in no time I’ll be an uncle either. Huo Family will not form a marriage alliance with the Bolin Family."

"So soon?!"

This news genuinely shocked Nicholas.

If, prior to this, he thought that Huo Yunjiao was deceiving him, Huo Yirong’s words confirmed to him that Yunjiao was indeed married.

The Bolin Family did not receive any news about this.

Watching Nicholas’ astonished and regretful expression, a chill flashed within Huo Yirong’s dark eyes, "Since the Bolin Family knew that someone hired a Nanyang Taoist to deal with my younger brother, how come they didn’t investigate and find out about his marriage?"

Nicholas scratched the bridge of his nose, "Knowing about the Nanyang Taoist was just a stroke of luck."

Huo Yirong, supporting his head with one hand and gazing at Nicholas with deep eyes, asked, "Let’s hear it."

Nicholas wasn’t a fool and he could tell that Huo Yirong was trying to draw information from him.

He raised the corners of his lips arrogantly and reverted to his smart and alert self, "Are you trying to get information from me?"

"Are you going to talk or not?" Huo Yirong was equally straightforward.

Nicholas shrugged, "There’s nothing I can’t say."

Huo Yirong frowned, "Then be quick, I don’t have much patience."

Nicholas smirked, "Is this how you ask for someone’s help?"

Huo Yirong sneered, "I’m not asking for your help. Whether we can collaborate in the future depends on how honest you are now."

"I’m so scared!"

Nicholas put his hands over his chest faking a scared expression, but the smile on his face was rather radiant.

Huo Yirong picked up a cushion from his side and threw it at him, "Who are you trying to disgust here!"

Nicholas caught the cushion with one hand and set it aside, his expression resumed its usual calmness.

"Today I am here with the intention of forming a marriage alliance between our families on behalf of my father. I am disappointed that I couldn’t further our relationship with the Huo Family, but I hope that it won’t affect our personal relationship."

Nicholas was playing the emotional card.

Huo Yirong gave a stern reply, "Cut the crap, you know I don’t want to hear it."

Nicholas suddenly turned serious, and slowly explained, "A while ago, there was a duel between wizards in the US. Our Bolin Family’s wizard participated and encountered a Nanyang Taoist. We found out from him that someone in the Capital City had invited him to act against Huo Yunjiao."

Huo Yirong narrowed his eyes as a dangerous smirk appeared on his face.

The Nangong and Xiao families had repeatedly invited Huo Yunjiao to their wedding events.

If they claimed that there was no ulterior motive, no one would believe it.

He had sent people to investigate and indeed found out that a Nanyang Evil Path practitioner had arrived in the Capital City lately. He was in close contact with the Nangong and Su families, but hardly had any interactions with the Xiao Family.

The Huo Family only learned about it recently, and Huo Yirong immediately informed his family members. Huo Yunjiao was well aware of the situation.

But the Bolin Family had known about it even earlier.

From what he knew, the wizards’ duel in the US had started half a month ago.

They had learned about it way earlier than the Huo Family.

Huo Yirong frowned, looking at Nicholas with a disappointed expression, "Nicholas, how many years have we known each other?"

"Almost ten years, I guess."

Huo Yirong scoffed, "Almost ten years...you should know how important my younger brother is to the Huo Family. He is not only my younger brother but also the next family head of the Huo Family."

Nicholas pondered over the long history between them and couldn’t help but laugh, "I know, when you were studying in the US, you always missed your younger brother.

At that time, I was wondering what kind of sickly younger brother could make you worry so much. However, when I saw him in person, the disparity between my imagination and the reality astounded me.

It was like competing with a man...the discrepancy was so much that I felt embarrassed. Your description of him was too weak; in reality, your third brother is more ruthless than you. His ruthlessness is ingrained."

Huo Yirong chuckled, "Trying to sow discord between us?"

Nicholas hastily denied, "No way! You’re too possessive of your brother; I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to even get out of this room."

At this, Huo Yirong bore a relieved expression on his face.

He continued, "Everyone in the Huo Family dotes on my younger brother, particularly my grandfather, who regards him as a treasure. If anyone dares to harm him, he would risk his own life to protect him."

"I’ve heard of it." Nicholas nodded.

Changing his tone, Huo Yirong asked, "Since the Bolin Family knows so much about the Capital City, do they know that I’ve broken off my engagement?"

Nicholas did know, and he nodded sympathetically, "My condolences, brother. There are plenty of fishes in the sea, you’ll find your own love."

Is this how you express condolences?

Are there plenty of fishes in the sea?

Huo Yirong didn’t bother to correct him.

Even when people acknowledged that he was cuckolded, his expression didn’t change in the least bit.
