Huo Ling's connections don't stop from his father and mother. Huo Jinghua, the man Mary Jackson married after her divorce with Gerard Jackson, is a general. He has a wide network, added to the fact that the Huo family is just one of the few families that are of the purest blood.
By 'pure blood', it refers to their ancestry. And for the Huo family to remain pure bloods up to this generation, naturally, some of the previous generations were forced into marriage just to give birth to another pure-blooded generation.
Fortunately for Huo Jinghua, he is the fourth son in their generation. Thus, he doesn't have to worry being forced to marry a Chinese woman. He left their family's responsibility to his elder brothers. And so, he married Mary Jackson, who is from the royal family. She is the current emperor, Kale's aunt.
