Chapter 1860 The best is yet to come
According to the news sent back by their spies in Shangyi Town, Deacon Ding and Xiao Xie were taken away by a group of people of unknown origin, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Not to mention the mission, it’s hard to say whether it’s life or death.
Although Melissa's plan failed, the effect was not disappointing.
As for Huo Yao, it was a pity that he did not die in this ambush, but it did not affect the outcome.
Even if there is still a Huo Yulin, he will be eliminated in the next voting round, and it will be a foregone conclusion that the heir will fall on Huo Wanying.
If this pair of siblings cannot turn things around, Master Feng’s lineage will never be able to take charge of the Huo family again.
The Great Elder was thinking in his mind, and after a while he stood up, glanced at everyone present, cleared his throat, and was about to open his mouth to announce the start of the meeting when Huo Changfeng walked in slowly from outside the door.
"I guess I'm not too late, am I?"
When everyone heard Huo Changfeng's voice, they all looked at him.
Huo Changfeng's expression was as serious as ever. He had been following Master Feng for many years, and his aura was enough to crush anyone present.
There was a little Xie following behind him.
The Great Elder and Huo Qing were not surprised to see Huo Changfeng appear, but their expressions changed slightly when they saw Xiao Xie.
It seemed that no one expected him to appear here.
Huo Changfeng walked to the side of the Great Elder, pursed his lips slightly, and looked at him: "The eldest lady has something to do, so I will come here on her behalf today. Elder, you won't object, right?"
The two looked at each other, and the Great Elder smiled as his eyes passed between them. "Since the Chief Steward has said so, it is of course possible."
"Yes." Huo Changfeng nodded, "Great Elder, you are indeed so tolerant."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the empty seat next to Huo Yulin and sat down.
The elder's eyes flashed with hostility, but he was unable to expose Huo Changfeng's deliberate sarcasm. He only said, "Although you can represent the eldest lady, it seems that she hasn't handed in her guild mission this time?"
Huo Changfeng raised his chin and gestured to Xiao Xie.
Xiao Xie straightened his back and placed the contract he brought on the table in front of the elder. "We had already signed the contract that day, but the mayor enthusiastically invited us to visit the town, so we were delayed a bit. I'm really sorry."
Xiao Xie's tone sounded like he was explaining, but no one present could fail to hear the deliberateness in his tone.
The faces of several people in the elders' group turned grim in an instant.
After all, everyone was laughing at Huo Yao's bad luck just the previous second, but the next second not only did he take out a signed contract, but he also handed in the task late because of the warm hospitality?
If this isn't a deliberate slap in their faces, what is this?
The Great Elder took a deep breath, reached out and picked up the contract. Just as he was about to turn directly to the last page to confirm whether the signature was authentic, he heard Xiao Xie's voice again.
"By the way, Mayor Shangyi has offered to give our Huo family a few more percentage points of profit, and has also added several additional items. They are all specially marked in the contract. You can also take a look, Great Elder."
The elder's fingers tightened for a moment, and then he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly regained his composure and gritted his teeth, "...Okay."
Start flipping through the contract page by page.
Seeing this, Xiao Xie's lips twitched slightly.
Look, the best is yet to come.
Huo Yulin didn't pay much attention to the elder's expression. Instead, he turned to look at Uncle Changfeng and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, why did Yaoyao ask you to come here on her behalf? Did something happen to her?"
Although he called his sister to confirm the situation as soon as he heard that the convoy was attacked two days ago, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Especially since he saw that she hadn't come yet, he felt even more uneasy.
Huo Changfeng just stared at Huo Yulin's face calmly. After a moment, he said with a hint of disdain: "Learn from your sister. To achieve great things, one must first have a calm temperament."
Look at how concerned they are, why are the two siblings so different?
It turns out that people cannot be compared.
Huo Changfeng didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned his head away.
Huo Yulin: “???”
