Thick smoke floated in the antique office.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost breathless.
The middle-aged and somewhat powerful secretary walked in with two cups of tea, and then walked out cautiously.
He looked very calm, but his expression and steps looked a little panicked upon closer inspection.
Chen Fangqing sat on the sofa blankly, holding a cigarette and looking at the tea cup in front of him, motionless.
The severe headache continued all the time, as if it was going to tear his entire spirit apart. The wall clock on the wall kept ticking second by second. The sound was crisp, but it was extremely harsh in Chen Fangqing's ears. The second hand moved every time. Every time he trembled, he seemed to be one step closer to the end.
The end indeed.
His end, the end of the Chen family, the end of the Prince Group, and the end of the dark world.
Less than twenty-four hours.
The result of the decisive battle in the North Sea has officially spread throughout the dark world.
There is so much worth mentioning in the decisive battle in the North Sea.
But none of this matters anymore.
What matters is the results.
A cruel and unacceptable result.
Twenty-four hours.
The flames of war spread throughout the dark world.
When all the results came together, what appeared in front of everyone was a completely shocking battlefield.
Twenty-two hours ago, thousands of elites from the combined forces besieged the headquarters of the Dark Knights.
Under circumstances that no one expected, the Snow Dance Legion left Leki City for the first time and entered northern Europe.
Thousands of elite members of the coalition forces were wiped out.
Twenty-one hours ago.

The Legion of Holy Inquisition suffered heavy casualties, the Holy Land was in a mess, and the Pope was nowhere to be found.
Twenty hours ago.
The second batch of Snow Dance Legion sets foot in the Snow Country.
The three secret bases that Wang Xiaoyao had developed on the border of the Snow Country in the past few years were directly swept away. Then the Snow Dance Legion rampaged through the Snow Country, and some secret strongholds belonging to Wang Xiaoyao were uprooted.
Eighteen hours ago.
Many dark forces such as the Men in Black, the Society of Heroes, and the Fantasy World gathered in southern America. Sixteen secret bases of Chiang Kai-shek in South America were completely destroyed overnight, and a violent explosion occurred at the Chiang Kai-shek headquarters in South America.
Seventeen hours ago, Beihai Canglan completely fell.

The bright moon rises over the sea in Beihai Province.
Ten hours ago, Wang Shengxiao arrived in Canglan.
Nine hours ago, news of all aspects of the decisive battle in the North Sea officially spread throughout the dark world.
Until now, all forces are not sure what these messages actually mean, nor are they sure what impact the decisive battle in the North Sea will have on the dark world.
But the most intuitive thing is that the entire dark world withered overnight.
Half, now most of the famous forces in the dark world have died in Beihai, and the rest are either small forces with insufficient strength, or behemoths like the Beihai Wang Family of the East Palace.
As for Central Continent specifically, all the chess pieces lurking in the North Sea in Central Continent were completely lost, especially the fall of the East Island. The East Palace swept through the dark world of the East Island overnight, which also means that the East Island will become the sphere of influence of the East Palace in the future. .
And Dongdao...
There is complete evidence of the contact between Chen Fangqing and them, call records...
Every one of these calls is released and poses a fatal threat to Chen Fangqing.
No one could have imagined that Dong Dao would lose so miserably, losing so badly that there was no room for him to fight back.
Now that the decisive battle in Beihai has come to an end, all of Chen Fangqing's previous connections with Dongdao will be completely controlled by the Donghuang Palace.
Chen Fangqing knew what this meant.
Lost.
And he lost everything he had.
Chen Fangqing was at a loss now.
From the time he received the news to now, he has been sitting like this, smoking non-stop.
He felt that he should think of something, but his mind was in chaos and he couldn't think of anything.
Guo Wentian came two hours ago.
Entering Chen Fangqing's office, Guo Wentian, another giant of the Prince Group, didn't say anything. He just quietly smoked a whole pack of cigarettes with him.
"Over there on the East Island..."
After an extremely long silence, Guo Wentian finally said carefully: "How deeply are you involved?"
Chen Fangqing glanced at him and didn't answer.
No answer is itself an answer.
For the decisive battle in Beihai, the involvement between him and Dongdao can be as deep as possible.
Wang Shengxiao and Li Tianlan did not hide their murderous intentions from the beginning to the end.
The turmoil in the Haoyue Group, the death of his daughter and granddaughter, and everything else have made the entire Chen family panic. For this decisive battle, Chen Fangqing put his own reputation, the survival of the Chen family, and even the crown prince on the line. the future of the group.
How deep is the involvement...
Chen Fangqing had no way to answer this question.
This time Dongdao used war resources that had not been used for hundreds of years. It is no exaggeration to say that a considerable part of the reason for all this was promoted by Chen Fangqing.
Guo Wentian seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. His voice was very soft, with a hint of trembling: "Can the situation on the East Island be controlled?"
Chen Fangqing gave a bitter laugh and said in a hoarse voice: "How to control it? In this current situation, Dongdao can be said to hate me to the core. Can I still expect Dongdao to help me keep secrets?"
Guo Wentian was speechless for a while.
A decisive battle in the North Sea caused Beihai to suffer unprecedented losses. It also severely damaged the vitality of the entire East Island. The experts in the dark world withered, and the losses of the three fleets in the military were truly debilitating. Speaking of it all, Perhaps Chen Fangqing cannot be entirely blamed, but after losing the decisive battle, the entire Dongdao upper class needs a channel to vent their anger. Chen Fangqing, the Prime Minister of Zhongzhou, is undoubtedly the best channel to vent their anger.
"What happened this time was wrong."
After a long silence, Guo Wencai spoke in a low tone.
The muscles on Chen Fangqing's face twitched violently, and he bit the cigarette butt.
"It's basically over on the East Island side. Mai Shiranui took Liuhuo Palace to join Li Tianlan. They are the last powerful martial arts school on the East Island. I received the text message about twenty minutes ago, that is to say,
The entire East Island's right to speak in the dark world has changed hands. Forty-six martial arts schools, thirty were destroyed and sixteen surrendered. "
Guo Wentian shook his head slightly and continued: "The royal family of the East Island has contacted the East Palace. They want to cooperate, but it seems that Li Tianlan has no intention to talk."
“There’s always something to talk about.”
Chen Fangqing waved his hand: "Li Tianlan doesn't have to cooperate with the royal family, but after all, he is on the East Island. He cannot completely ignore the will of the East Island."
"I have the same idea as you."
Guo Wentian took a deep look at Chen Fangqing: "Now, I think the main reason why Li Tianlan will not talk about it is that Dongdao has not yet come up with enough chips. What chips do you think they will come up with to impress Li Tianlan?"
"a lot of things."
Chen Fangqing twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing or crying, with an unusually weird expression: "I think, no matter how many things it is, at least the call records between me and Dong Dao will be part of it, not even All it takes, just a few call records, may be enough to prove my treason.”
"What happened this time was wrong."
Guo Wentian said again.
"It's no use talking more."
Chen Fangqing shook his head indifferently: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times."
Guo Wentian is not talking.
Chen Fangqing took another long puff of cigarette almost greedily, and suddenly asked: "What are your plans?"
He knew Guo Wentian's intention.
I also know that the other party is not easy to speak.
So he simply asked directly.
The connection between him and Dongdao is very hidden.
But no matter how hidden it is, things have already happened. It is impossible for no one within the group to notice it, and it is also impossible for no one in Zhongzhou to notice it. If nothing else, at least as soon as the decisive battle begins, Zhongzhou directly blocks the interior of Beihai. There is no way to explain this aspect of communication.
The North Sea won.
Then the Prince Group will have to swallow a bitter pill.
The biggest bitter fruit is undoubtedly left to Chen Fangqing.
"The situation is more complicated now."
Guo Wentian was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "Including me, many comrades believe that it is time for us to make some setbacks. Even if it is a relatively big step back."
Chen Fangqing looked at him without speaking.
"You have to be mentally prepared."
Guo Wentian said, repeating the sentence for the third time: "What happened this time was wrong."
Chen Fangqing twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Wrong? What's wrong? You and I can see it. Everyone can see the impact Beihai has had on Central Continent over the years. No one can deny their contribution to Central Continent, but there are Contribution does not mean there are no drawbacks. It is imperative to contain Beihai, not only Beihai, but also the Eastern Imperial Palace. In Central Continent, all so-called superpowers must obey the will of Central Continent. Everything I do is under my control. This is what I should do in this position.”
Chen Fangqing tugged on the tie at the collar angrily.
He was silent for a while and then continued: "I didn't do anything wrong. If I said it wrong, then my only mistake is that I failed, that's all. Maybe in a few years, when Zhongzhou can't bear it anymore, I Everything I did today will be done again by others. My only hope is that the other party can succeed."
Guo Wentian smiled bitterly and lit another cigarette.
Faint smoke rose in front of him.
Guo Wentian was silent for a while and then said softly: "Li Tianlan has entered Beijing."
