As the words fell, Shen Xianyu's face became extremely unsightly.
She had not anticipated that Huo Jingting would dare to say such things in front of Huo Xiong.
It wasn't just her—Huo Xiong's expression also turned somewhat ugly upon hearing these words. Huo Jingting's popularity was skyrocketing, posing a significant threat to his position, but he hadn't expected Huo Jingting to be so bold.
Huo Jingting couldn't be bothered with them and turned to leave once again.
But as he turned, his gaze unintentionally caught a tall figure upstairs.
Huo Jingyan looked back at him, and their gazes met across the air, both deep and fathomless.
The man sauntered down the stairs, "Taking over Jinjue isn't as simple as just talking about it. If you bite off more than you can chew, you'll end up choking to death eventually."
A cold laugh escaped from Huo Jingting's lips, "Choking to death is still better than starving to death."
