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."
