Huo Yongming, head of the Huo Family, soon heard about what had happened. He flew into a rage. A mere grandmaster had dared show such disrespect to a king, and even dared to defy all conventions by going after the King Family. The brat was far too arrogant.
"Call that kid right now. I want to ask him what he thinks he's doing, short-selling my company's stock. Is he planning to make an enemy of the Huo Family?" Huo Yongming sneered.
An elder immediately tried to call Xia Ping, but soon heard only a busy signal. His expression turned odd. "Family Head, that kid put your number on his blacklist."
"What?!"
Huo Yongming's face turned green. As a king, he wielded immense power, and countless people fawned over him. For him to call someone was an honor.
Yet that damned brat had dared blacklist his number. This was beyond brazen—it was downright insolent.
"Use a different number and call again!" Huo Yongming's face darkened until it was black as charcoal. In all his years, he had never been this furious.
This time, the call went through, and Xia Ping's voice came over the communicator. "Who is this? Which bastard is calling me? If this is a scam call, I'll wipe you out."
"It's Huo Yongming." Huo Yongming forced down his anger.
Xia Ping gave a startled exclamation. "Huo Yongming? Didn't I put your number on my blacklist? How are you still getting through?"
So he really had been blacklisted!
Huo Yongming wanted nothing more than to rush over and beat the arrogant brat to a pulp. How dare he blacklist a king's number? This was outrageous.
It was like a governor calling an ordinary person, only for that person to block the governor's number. What kind of behavior was that?
