After all, everyone liked money and power.

Huo Qing inhaled deeply. The count was actually offering him the development contract. He was naturally tempted by the offer.

If he could get involved in this his contribution to the clan would increase to a new level.

!!

Huo Qing could sense excitement surging in his heart just thinking about it. However, he remained calm on the surface and simply raised his concerns. “I don’t understand. Why would you want to work with me?”

“Because you’re a capable man.” Morey raised his brow. “I might not get along with your clan leader, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends, right?”

Huo Qing naturally caught his drift but he knew Morey would not give him the contract without asking for something in return. “On what conditions?”

People could only work together if it was a win-win situation for both.

Morey smiled and did not beat around the bush. “In a couple of days, I’m holding my birthday banquet. I hope you can bring someone over.”

“Who?”

“Huo Yao.”

Huo Qing clearly did not see this coming. “Why do you want to see her?”

“I’m not the one who wants her.” Morey put down the coffee cup in his hand and spoke with intrigue. “I’m equally curious. I wonder what’s so special about this woman that Mirage Base wants her.”

“Mirage Base?” Huo Qing was stunned.

He knew nothing about Master Jinfeng’s niece, so he was puzzled why she would have anything to do with Mirage Base.

“From the looks of it, you don’t know either.” When Morey caught Huo Qing’s reaction, he knew that Huo Qing did not seem to know about it.

Huo Qing snapped out of his thoughts and said, “To be honest, she is the eldest daughter of the family, but she has only returned to the family very recently, so she hasn’t made an official appearance in the clan.”

“I see. Why do you call her the eldest daughter of the family then?” Morey was unsure about how things worked in powerful families like theirs, but it was clear she had some level of status in the clan.

Huo Qing pursed his lips. “It’s just a title.”

Morey felt less worried now.

This young woman was involved with the Weapons Bureau chairman. If she had high status in the clan, he would have to reconsider his collaboration with Fan Shun.

“Our deal is settled then?” Morey got back to the subject.

Huo Qing lowered his eyes looking at the contract in his hands. No one knew if Huo Jinfeng was dead or alive, so this was the perfect opportunity for him. He paused and nodded. “Okay then.”

“I’m glad we could come to a quick agreement, Mr. Huo.” Morey paused briefly. Just to be cautious, he asked. “Does Master Jinfeng care about the girl?”

Huo Qing pursed his lips. “Don’t worry. Even if he does, he probably doesn’t have the energy to do anything about her right now.”

Morey could tell there was more to this. “What do you mean?”

At this moment, Huo Qing simply shook his head and stood up. “I will bring her over the day after.”

Whatever it was, the clan did not acknowledge her as the eldest daughter of the family yet. Also, she was not Master Jinfeng’s biological daughter. Even if Master Jinfeng was still alive, he would never make enemies of Morey for the sake of a girl.

Before long, Huo Qing and his subordinate left the private room.

“We can probably use Huo Qing,” said Morey’s secretary unhurriedly.

“Uh huh.” Morey stretched his neck. “He is disloyal to the family, so it’s best to start with him. People like him are the most likely to get tempted.”

“Well, that’s true.” The secretary smiled.
