Chapter 334 Trouble at the Southwild Border
Sirius comforted Chloe while glancing at Larry, a playful smirk on his face.
Larry walked over, clenched his fist, and punched him.
"It hurts like hell."
Sirius clutched the spot where he was hit, letting out a pitiful scream.
Chloe got angry and yelled, "Larry, you useless piece of trash, what do you think you're doing? Get out of here, I don't want to see you."
"Just be careful, don't get betrayed without knowing it. Not everyone is good to you."
Larry didn't say much more, leaving a word of caution before turning to leave.
He knew he had no place in Chloe's heart, and saying more was pointless.
After he left, Sirius stood up, his face showing pain and dissatisfaction, "Who is that guy? Why is he so overbearing?"
Lying in the hospital bed, Chloe looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, really sorry, he's my ex-husband."
"Ex-husband, no wonder." Sirius had a look of sudden realization.
Outside the hospital room.
Larry sat on a chair in the hallway, lighting a cigarette.
"Larry."
Seeing the pained expression on Larry's face, Esmeralda felt helpless, not knowing how to comfort him.
"Sir, you can't smoke here." A young nurse walked over.
Larry then got up and turned to leave.
Esmeralda followed him.
Outside the hospital.
Larry looked at Esmeralda and said, "Esmeralda, you've been following me around all day, you should go back and rest."
"Larry, how can I be at ease with you like this?"
Larry gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "I'm a grown man, what's there to worry about? Go back, I'm fine."
After saying that, Larry didn't pay any more attention to Esmeralda and turned to leave.
Esmeralda frowned.
But she didn't follow him.
Larry returned to the Imperial Residence, lying on the couch.
At this moment, he felt very conflicted inside.
He was still uneasy, not knowing what Sirius was up to.
He took out his phone and called Abigail, "Abigail, Chloe is in the hospital, go check on her."
Abigail had just gotten off work and was on her way home.
Receiving Larry's call, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why is she in the hospital?"
Larry briefly explained what had happened today.
"Is Chloe stupid?" Abigail also cursed.
Larry said helplessly, "She won't listen to anything I say now. Go check on her and advise her to be careful with Sirius."
"Okay, I'll head to the hospital now." Larry hung up the phone.
He got up, picked up the cigarette on the table.
But the more he smoked, the more agitated he became.
Meanwhile, in Southwild.
A foreign tour bus was driving on a desolate road.
On the bus were dozens of people.
These people were from different countries, traveling in Summer Nation. Everyone was drowsy, and the tour guide was introducing the next destination.
However, at that moment, some unidentified people rushed in, hijacked the bus, and tied up all the tourists from various countries.
Larry was alone at the Imperial Residence, fell asleep on the couch.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning.
He got up, rubbed his eyes, picked up his phone from the table, and saw that it was only eight in the morning. Still feeling sleepy, he lay back on the couch.
Before he could fall asleep, the phone rang.
He got up again, picked up the phone, and saw it was Frank calling.
He answered the call and asked, "Frank, what's up?"
"Larry, something happened." Frank's anxious voice came through the phone.
"What happened?"
Larry was stunned and asked, "What happened?"
Frank said anxiously, "Last night, a foreign tour bus was hijacked near Southwild City. There were many important people from various countries on the bus, and this incident has caused a huge uproar. The countries in Southwild are demanding an explanation from Summer Nation."
"Is that all? Just find the people." Larry yawned and said casually, "I'm so tired, I'll sleep a bit more."
"No, Larry, the people were found, but they were all dead. Now, the twenty-eight countries of Southwild have mobilized their troops and are preparing to wage war against Summer Nation. According to the latest information, each of the twenty-eight countries is sending at least a hundred thousand troops, totaling three million soldiers, converging on Cedar Grove."
Larry was instantly wide awake. "Is this for real?"
"Why would I joke about this? Summer Nation has already issued combat orders, requiring all Black Dragon Army personnel on leave to report back immediately to defend against the foreign invasion."
"Then let's fight them."
Larry regained his composure and said, "The twenty-eight countries are just defeated foes. Last time at Cedar Grove, they paid so much in compensation that their treasuries are empty. They can't afford a war, and Summer Nation won't be afraid of them."
Larry hung up the phone.
But he didn't go back to sleep.
He picked up his phone and checked the latest news from Southwild.
It was just as Frank had said.
Last night, a tour bus was hijacked near Southwild City in Summer Nation. The people were found, but they were all dead.
The twenty-eight countries of Southwild were preparing to wage war against Summer Nation.
Although Summer Nation apologized as quickly as possible.
The twenty-eight countries did not accept the apology and demanded a hefty compensation from Summer Nation.
Summer Nation refused to pay.
So, the twenty-eight countries formed an alliance and were rapidly converging on Cedar Grove at the Southwild Border.
A major war was imminent.
The international community was also highly concerned about this matter.
Some military experts analyzed the situation of the twenty-eight countries sending troops to Summer Nation.
Many experts believed that the hijacking of the tour bus was just an excuse.
Many experts had always thought that the twenty-eight countries were dissatisfied after their generals were captured and ransomed last time.
Perhaps this hijacking was orchestrated by the twenty-eight countries themselves, just to find an excuse to send troops and demand compensation from Summer Nation to replenish their treasuries.
After roughly going through the news, Larry casually tossed his phone aside.
He had already resigned and was no longer the commander of Southwild, no longer the commander of the Black Dragon Army. The affairs of the Southwild Border had nothing to do with him anymore.
He didn't pay much attention to it, went to wash up, and went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, he called Abigail.
"Abigail, how is it?"
Abigail sighed over the phone, "Chloe has really changed, she's become very stubborn. No matter what I say, she won't listen. She even said I was sent by you to speak for you. It's so frustrating."
This was within Larry's expectations.
Given the current situation, there was nothing he could do.
Chloe had the right to pursue her own happiness.
But he couldn't bear to see Chloe being deceived and played with.
"Alright, that's it for now, I'll hang up." Larry hung up the phone.
Then, he called Lyra, "Are the people protecting Chloe okay?"
"They're fine, they've woken up. It turns out the enemy wasn't that strong, they just used a sedative."
"Keep following Chloe, don't let her get hurt."
After giving this instruction, Larry hung up the phone.
