Chapter 184 Black Dragon Resigns
Larry took a private jet back to Sunset City. It was already midnight when he arrived at the Lewis family's place.
He had brought his keys when he left today. As soon as he quietly stepped into his room, the lights instantly turned on.
Larry was startled and saw Chloe sitting on the bed with a stern face.
Awkwardly scratching his head, he asked, "Honey, you're still up?"
Chloe's face was gloomy. "Do you know what time it is? Where have you been?"
Larry thought quickly and said, "I was at the office. We're still working on various systems, and we had a meeting tonight, so I came back late. I'm sorry, honey. I'll let you know in advance if I have to work late in the future."
Chloe's anger subsided quite a bit.
"Larry..." she said.
"What's up?"
"Never mind, it's nothing."
Chloe turned over and went to sleep. She had wanted to talk about divorce but didn't know how to bring it up.
Ever since meeting the mysterious Mr. Bennett, her mind had been filled with thoughts of him. She had been thinking about divorce all night.
But she still remembered how good Larry had been to her. Without Larry, she wouldn't have regained her looks.
Larry understood Chloe's concerns, but he didn't ask much.
He laid down beside her and went to sleep.
The night passed quietly.
The next day, Chloe left for work early in the morning.
Larry didn't get up until after nine.
In the living room, Maria, Scott, Sam, Mindy, and others were gathered together, eyes glued to their phones.
Larry walked over curiously and asked, "What's going on? What are you watching?"
Sam looked up and said, "Black Dragon, the commander of Southwild and one of the Five Great Marshals of Summer Nation, has resigned. From now on, Summer Nation will no longer have Black Dragon, and the Five Great Marshals will become the Four Great Marshals."
"I see," Larry responded nonchalantly.
The news of Black Dragon's resignation had already spread across the country quickly that morning. Major TV stations and news platforms were all reporting on it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Summer Nation news channel. At 8 AM, the highest official held a conference to discuss the resignation of Southwild's commander, Black Dragon. After a discussion, Black Dragon's resignation was approved. From now on, Black Dragon will no longer belong to Summer Nation."
This news swept across the internet. Topics related to Black Dragon instantly trended. The top ten topics on Twitter were all about Black Dragon.
[Why did Black Dragon resign?]
[Why was Black Dragon's resignation approved?]
[The story behind Black Dragon's resignation.]
[The legendary life of Commander Black Dragon.]
Various topics emerged one after another.
Black Dragon's resignation caused a huge uproar.
Summer Nation no longer had Black Dragon.
The military no longer had a legend.
The whole country mourned, calling for Black Dragon's return.
At the Everlasting Group.Chloe was handling documents when a news alert popped up on her computer. She looked at it and was stunned.
"Black Dragon resigned?" she wondered in a daze, unable to process the news for a long time.
"What happened? Why did Black Dragon resign out of the blue?"
If she hadn't known who Black Dragon was, she wouldn't have cared because Black Dragon was too distant for her.
But now she knew Black Dragon's identity.
Black Dragon was the mysterious Mr. Bennett.
The news of Black Dragon's resignation spread across the country.
At the same time, another piece of news swept through Sunset City.
This time, it was about Chloe.
Some videos and photos had appeared online, showing Chloe with a handsome man, getting into a luxury car.
This news was insignificant compared to Black Dragon's resignation, but then another piece of news came through.
"Breaking news: the mysterious chairman of the Serpent Group is named Larry, who is also Black Dragon. This Larry is not the same Larry who is Chloe's husband, but is the man in the video."
"How shocking! Black Dragon has been in Sunset City all along, and has been secretly helping Chloe."
"No wonder so many big shots are flattering Chloe. It turns out the person she saved ten years ago was Black Dragon."
"Is that really what Black Dragon looks like?"
"He's so handsome."
As this news spread, Sunset City was once again shocked. Those who had always wanted to know what Black Dragon looked like finally had their answer.
[Chloe is so shameless. She already has a husband, so why is she seducing my Black Dragon?]
[Black Dragon is mine.]
[Chloe, go to the hell.]
On the internet, various insults were hurled. These were from girls with girlish fantasies, all worshippers of Black Dragon, who were cursing Chloe terribly online.
Some even went to the Everlasting Group, besieging the company.
These women carried acid, threatening to ruin Chloe. In the end, the military intervened to suppress the situation.
The outside world was in chaos.
Meanwhile, Larry was at Mortal Clinic.
"Larry, what did you say to the highest official? Why did they suddenly announce your resignation so publicly, making it known nationwide?" Frank asked with a puzzled look.
Amelia was sitting nearby.
She already knew Larry was a big shot from Southwild, but she didn't expect his background to be this significant.
He was the commander of Southwild, the guardian warlord of Summer Nation.
Larry smiled and said, "My resignation was a done deal. I submitted my resignation application months ago. It is a big deal for one of the Five Great Marshals to resign. Naturally it would be newsworthy."
Larry stretched lazily, looking relaxed. "I've finally officially resigned. I can finally be free to do what I want."
Free, one of the Five Great Marshals, had come. He was not wearing his battle gear but a very ordinary robe.
Seeing him, Amelia immediately stood up, a trace of nervousness in her expression.
She wasn't nervous knowing Larry was Black Dragon, but for some reason, seeing another of the Five Great Marshals made her nervous.
Free walked in with a stern face and asked coldly, "Larry, what are you doing? Why did you resign so suddenly?"
Larry looked relaxed and said, "I submitted my resignation application long time ago. It just hadn't been approved until now. What's wrong with that?"
Free didn't believe him. He sat down, looking serious, and asked, "Larry, tell me the truth. What happened? You are the commander of Southwild, in charge of the million-strong Black Dragon Army. You're the god of the military and have the respect of all the soldiers. There's no way they'd let you resign."
As one of the Five Great Marshals, Free's intuition was sound. He knew something significant must have happened.
Larry smiled faintly and didn't say much. Instead, he stood up, put his arm around Free's shoulder, and walked out of Mortal Clinic with him.
"Free, I think you're reliable. Although you don't know how to adapt, you're loyal. I used to wonder why the leaders wanted to reorganize the five major military districts. I thought they were doing it because they knew I was in Sunset City and wanted to transfer me. But they transferred you instead. Now I know the leaders are planning something."
Free was stunned.
Larry laughed, "Just do what you need to do. If I need help, I'll ask you. By the way, you didn't come to see me today, and don't tell anyone what I said. Go back. I just want to be the Lewis family's son-in-law Larry, the useless Larry."
