Chapter 1289: Seize
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“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.
“I don’t believe it!” Ouyang Qing scolded. “This has to be fake! Do you think you can take control with this?”
“I don’t want to believe it either, but it’s true,” Helian Xiong said. “We can’t have a country without a leader. If Helian Qingyu cannot come back, then I’ll have to act as the acting President for now.”
“Helian Xiong! You bastard! How dare you try to seize power while our country is facing foreign danger! People will not follow you even if you’ve become the President!”
Helian Xiong did not refute, but he took out a gun and shot Ouyang Qing in his leg instead.
Ouyang Qing screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.
“Is there anyone who would like to stand with Ouyang Qing?” Helian Xiong asked.
By shooting the Secretary of State in front of everyone, Helian Xiong managed to scare them.
“Don’t waver!” Ouyang Qing shouted. “If our country falls into his hands, Estan will be doomed! Don’t let him get what he wants!”
As soon as Ouyang Qing finished, Helian Xiong’s men ran up and knocked him unconscious.
Most of the people who stood with Ouyang Qing wanted to help, but they couldn’t do anything.
All of them came without backup and were now trapped inside the Blue Palace.
“Then I would like to announce that I’ll be Estan’s next President!” Helian Xiong said. “Does anyone object?”
Some stared at Helian Xiong angrily, but they could not do anything.
Just as Helian Xiong thought that he had won, someone kicked the door open.
“I reject!” a female voice shouted.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw a pretty young girl walking in.
