Chapter 1289: Seize

"Ouyang, Helian Qingyu might not come back," Helian Xiong laughed after he got the news.

"What do you mean?" Ouyang Qing asked, seconds before his phone, and others', rang.

[Bad news from the border, General Qingyu perished in the war.]

Everyone was shocked to see the story, while one of the parties could not believe that their successor would die.

"How is this possible…"

Ouyang Qing could not believe the news either. If Helian Qingyu had died, then there would be no successor to the Helian family. There wouldn't be anyone to challenge Helian Xiong to seize power.

Helian Xiong stood tall and looked at everyone.

"Too bad our General died in the war! This is unfortunate news," Helian Xiong announced. "I would like everyone to stand up and grieve for three minutes."

Some stood while some didn't. Those who remained seated were people who still could not accept Helian Qingyu's fate.
