Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“N-nothing. I just wanted to ask Big Brother when you’re coming home.”

“Are you trying to find out where I am?” His tone turned even colder.

Hearing this, the other party hurriedly said, “No, no, I, I just want to know when Brother will be home. My… Mom, Dad, and… and I miss Brother very much.” It was not difficult to hear that she was very afraid of the man on the other end of the line.

Upon hearing this, the man’s cold expression softened slightly, “I’ll naturally return when it’s time. Don’t call me if there’s anything urgent in the future.”

“…Yes.”

The man hung up as soon as she finished speaking.

The assistant standing at the side felt deep sympathy for “Miss Sisi” on the other end of the line. She knew that Sir had never been close to her, but she kept trying to make her presence known to him. Did she really think that she was the real Miss Huo just because she was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family in name?

Of course, the Huo Family would naturally give her the treatment that the eldest daughter of the Huo Family deserved since they were willing to give her the status of the eldest daughter of the Huo Family. However, she had to learn to be grateful. Even if she couldn’t learn to be grateful, she shouldn’t covet after things that didn’t belong to her.

Miss Sisi’s little tricks were only enough to coax Sir’s parents, who pitied her and treated her like their own daughter. If she wanted to play tricks in front of him, he could only say that she was dreaming.

Who was Sir? He was the head of the Huo Family in South City.

Although there was one South City and one North City, in fact, North City was completely incomparable to South City. The Yan Family, the number one family in North City, was naturally incomparable to the number one family in South City, the Huo Family.

The Huo Family of South City was an existence that could rival the top three families of the capital.

If not for that, it would have been impossible for Sir to compete with the Second Young Master of the Yin Family in the capital. This time, he even took the opportunity while that person was distracted to look for the eldest daughter of the Yan Family and dug a huge trap for him.

Master Nine was known as the “God of Slaughter” in the business world and had always been invincible in the business world. Sir was the first person to trap him.

Just as the assistant was lamenting, the man’s phone rang again.

Seeing the caller ID, the man’s sinister aura did not diminish, but his cold aura had decreased by more than half, “Rainy, what’s wrong?” There was an almost imperceptible gentleness and surprise in his voice.

The assistant heaved a sigh of relief.

She was also a daughter of the Huo Family. Putting aside Sir’s attitude after receiving their calls, just based on the caller ID on their phones, one of them was “Huo Sisi” while the other was “Rain”, they could immediately tell who was close to them.

Before the other party could speak, the man spoke again, “Why would you call me? Did someone bully you? Or do you have no pocket money? If someone bullies you, tell me. The eldest daughter of the Huo Family can do whatever she wants. Whoever bullies you, you have to retaliate in double. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility. If you don’t have any pocket money, I’ll get someone to transfer it to you.”

The assistant was speechless. The eldest daughter of the Huo Family…

It seemed like Sir really didn’t like the “Miss Sisi ” who had the title of the eldest daughter of the Huo Family. He actually skipped over her to address the caller as “the eldest daughter of the Huo Family”.

And pocket money…

If he remembered correctly, he had just transferred five million dollars to this person according to Sir’s instructions yesterday.

Even if she had only returned to the Huo Family for a year, Sir was still too biased towards her.

However, on second thought, she was the legitimate daughter of the Huo Family, so it was understandable that Sir favored her.

“Neither, Brother. I’m not bullied, and it’s not like I don’t have any pocket money.”

“Then, why… did you call me?”

The man did not finish his sentence. His eyebrows furrowed slightly when he stopped talking.

It had been a year since his sister returned to the Huo Family. She seemed to be getting along well with her family and was very obedient and sensible. However, with his sharp senses, how could he not sense that his sister was actually very distant from them?

In the past year, the number of times his sister had taken the initiative to call him could be counted on one hand. Furthermore, most of her calls were requested by her parents.

Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very surprised to receive her call.

He randomly used the excuse of being bullied and not having any pocket money because he was too surprised and didn’t know what to say at that moment.

“Then, why did you call me, Rainy?” After much consideration, the man still asked. He had deliberately controlled his tone before, so it wouldn’t appear so cold and hard. However, his personality was like that after all. Even if he deliberately softened his tone, it still revealed a cold and dignified aura.

“It’s not anything important. I just have a few classmates who want to find a place to organize a race. I suddenly recalled that Qin Hao had unintentionally mentioned to me that Brother has many underground racing arenas under him, so I wanted to ask Brother for help. I wonder if it’s convenient for Brother?”

“I thought it was something great. This is just a small matter. Why would it be inconvenient for me? What time? I’ll arrange it for you.”

“Next weekend.”

“Okay.” He frowned slightly. “But Rainy, don’t be so polite with me in the future. Don’t say that this only needs a word from me. Even if it’s something difficult, as long as you need it, I will do my best.”

There was a pause and then she said, “I know. Thank you, Brother.”

“By the way, Brother, are your underground racing arenas only available in South City and the capital? Or is it available somewhere else too?”

Her sudden casual chat made the man happy, but he was a smart person after all and very vigilant. Although he was happy, he still said, “Why are you asking this?”

“Nothing. I’m just curious. If it’s not convenient for you to tell me, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”

The man’s gaze narrowed slightly, his fingers lightly tapping on the phone beside his ear, “There’s nothing inconvenient to say. Other than South City and the capital, many other cities have operations too. If you’re interested, I’ll take you there personally when I have the chance.”

“…Alright, thank you, Brother. Is there a place like this in North City, where I mentioned to you last time that I wanted to have a vacation?”

The man raised an eyebrow. North City…

Rainy seemed to be especially interested in this city.

“Yes, North City is considered a first-tier city.”

“I see. I heard from Qin Hao that North City is the base camp of the Yin Family’s Second Young Master. Brother shouldn’t have much business there. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to run a place like the underground racing arena there?”

Qin Hao, Qin Hao…

“With Qin Hao’s personality, why would he say so much to you?” Using the word ‘quiet’ to describe Qin Hao was already giving him face.

“…Well, maybe it’s because we’ve spent more time together. Brother also knows that he’s my fiancé. I’m studying in the capital and Mom and Dad asked him to take care of me. Usually, when I don’t stay in school, I stay in his apartment.”

The man paused, his expression turning cold, “Didn’t I buy an apartment for you at the Capital? Why are you still staying at his place? Although you two are engaged, you’re still in school. Qin Hao is a rough man in the military. How… how would he know how to take care of you?”

“Don’t worry, Brother. Qin Hao is very busy. I mostly stay in school too. I don’t have many chances to meet him.” She changed the topic, “But Brother, you haven’t answered me yet.”

“Although North City isn’t your brother’s territory, it won’t be difficult for me to build a racing arena here.”

“Is that so? That’s great. Then, when I go to North City to play, Brother can send someone under you to be my guide.”

It turned out that she had only asked so much because she wanted to come to North City to play and was worried that there would be no guide. He had thought…

“Given our Huo Family’s status and Brother’s capabilities, I’m sure the underground racing arena in North City is not too small either, right?”

“Yes, it’s not small. It’s considered the largest underground racing arena in North City.” He sounded rather smug.

“I see. You’re indeed my brother. I’ll leave you to your work, then. I’ll have to trouble you to organize the racing venue for my classmates.” The conversation turned back to the beginning, making it seem like the rest of the conversation was just idle chatter.

“Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done.”

“Okay. Thank you, Brother. Bye.”

“Bye.” After hanging up, the man stared at the phone screen. His fingers tapped lightly on his knee, and his expression was unfathomable.

Seeing this, the assistant was puzzled. Why did he look like he was in a bad mood when he just hung up?

After a moment of hesitation, the assistant asked, “Sir, do you think there’s something wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. I just find it a little strange.” Rather than answering the assistant, it was more like he was speaking to himself.

His sister, who was always a little distant from her family after she returned home, had suddenly called him. Logically speaking, he should be happy, and he was indeed very happy, but he just felt an inexplicable strange feeling. In fact, his sister was simply looking for him to help her with a small favor and chat with him for a rare moment.

He had taken over the Huo Family at the age of 23, and at the age of 25, he had completely won the hearts of all the elders under the Huo Family. It was obvious that his skills and ability were extraordinary, so even if the other party was his favored sister, it would not affect his sharp intuition.

Just as the assistant was wondering why he found it strange and was hesitating if he should clarify, the man said, “Make arrangements according to Eldest Missy’s request.”

“Yes.”

“Also, find out more about Eldest Missy during her disappearance all these years.”
