Chapter 336 Asking Black Dragon for Help
Abigail came to see Larry mainly just to check on him.
She thought Larry was strong and that this little issue wouldn't be a problem, but Larry was more fragile than she had imagined.
"I've told you everything. Whether you go or not is up to you. I'm heading back to the company. Call me if you need anything; I'll be there."
Abigail left these words and walked out with her bag.
Larry sat on the couch and lit another cigarette.
He hadn't gone out all day, staying at the Imperial Residence. He didn't even go out for meals, just ordered takeout.
Meanwhile, news of Chloe's twenty-eighth birthday had spread throughout Sunset City.
Many people were discussing Chloe's birthday.
Sunset City was peaceful.
But the Southwild border was engulfed in war.
This time, the Twenty-Eight Nation Alliance wasn't just messing around; they were going all out. As soon as the armies of the twenty-eight nations gathered, they launched an armed attack on Southwild.
Under the assault of three million troops, the Southwild Black Dragon Army kept retreating.
In the evening.
A piece of news spread across the nation.
"The Black Dragon Army suffered a major defeat, Southwild has fallen, and the Black Dragon Army has retreated three hundred miles."
"The Twenty-Eight Nation Alliance is riding high, capturing Southwild in one fell swoop, and the people of Southwild are fleeing."
"Latest news: in this battle for Southwild, the Black Dragon Army suffered thirty thousand casualties."
News of the Southwild battle spread across the nation.
The Summer Nation entered a state of high alert.
Troops from various regions were dispatched to Southwild to support the Black Dragon Army.
"Please ask the Black Dragon for help."
"Please have the Black Dragon commander go to Southwild to take charge."
Online, many people were calling for the former commander of Southwild, Black Dragon, to help.
But Larry was sleeping at the Imperial Residence.
Worried about being disturbed, he had turned off his phone.
Frank had been calling all night but couldn't get through.
At the military hospital, in a ward.
Free personally found Frank.
"General Frank, the situation at the border is dire. Without Black Dragon, we can't stabilize the troops' morale."
Free's face was filled with concern.
Frank looked helpless and said, "I've been calling all night, but Larry's phone is off. I can't reach him. Besides, Larry currently holds no position; he has no reason to go there. Without an official order, what reason does he have to go to the border?"
Free frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go to Aurora Citadel right away and get an official order to reinstate Larry's position, so he can go to the border and continue leading the Black Dragon Army to reclaim lost territory."
Frank also knew that this was a serious matter.
Without Larry at the border, the Black Dragon Army couldn't stabilize its morale.
In war, morale is crucial.
Momentum is crucial.
An army without morale has no fighting power.
Free didn't stay long at the military hospital and directly took a special plane to Aurora Citadel.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The Twenty-Eight Nation Alliance had launched an attack on Southwild, the Black Dragon Army had retreated, and Southwild had fallen. This tugged at the hearts of countless people in the Summer Nation, and many initiated a petition online, asking Black Dragon to go to the border.
"Black Dragon, the Summer Nation needs you."
"Please go to the border."
"Please, leaders of the Summer Nation, reinstate Black Dragon's position."
Voices kept coming.
Meanwhile, at Aurora Citadel.
In the highest council chamber.
Many important figures were gathered here.
The leaders of the Summer Nation.
And also Alistair, Free, and other commanders.
At the conference, Free spoke loudly, "I request the reinstatement of Larry Black Dragon as commander. The Black Dragon Army is an elite force, but Black Dragon is its leader. Without Black Dragon, the Black Dragon Army is like a tiger without teeth."
Alistair also stood up and expressed his stance, saying, "I also believe Larry's position should be reinstated."
"Summer Nation has countless generals. I don't believe that without Black Dragon, Summer Nation can't defend Southwild."
"Exactly, with so many generals and commanders, why does it have to be Larry?"
Some hoped for Larry's reinstatement.
Others were against it.
It had been hard enough to get Larry to resign. If he were reinstated, he would be uncontrollable again, and who could discipline him then?
The meeting lasted all night.
But no conclusion was reached.
The next day.
Sunset City.
Larry had slept deeply all night and slowly woke up.
He remembered that today was Chloe's twenty-eighth birthday.
He didn't really want to go.
But, after all, Chloe had once been his wife, so he felt he should at least go and offer his best wishes.
After getting up, Larry shaved, washed his face, and put on a decent outfit.
He sat on the couch, smoking a cigarette.
He pondered what gift to give Chloe.
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything.
Since he couldn't think of anything, he decided not to give a gift at all.
He got up and went out, didn't drive, and took a cab to the Sunset City Hotel.
The situation in Southwild was critical.
But Sunset City was very calm.
At the Sunset City Hotel, Chloe had arrived early.
The Lewis family stood at the entrance, welcoming important figures from all over Sunset City.
They were very excited, each one full of energy and vigor.
A taxi stopped at the entrance.
Larry, dressed in a black suit and black leather shoes, got out of the car and casually handed the driver a hundred-dollar bill.
"Isn't that Larry?"
As soon as Larry walked over, Oscar's voice came, looking at Larry with a mocking expression, "Didn't you divorce Chloe? What are you doing here?"
Larry glanced at him and said calmly, "Why, can't I come?"
Julia, wearing a sexy dress, walked over and saw Larry at the entrance. She smiled and said, "Of course, anyone can come, but today, to enter the hotel, you need an invitation. Do you have an invitation from the Lewis family?"
"No."
Larry didn't have an invitation.
He came just out of old feelings, wanting to say a word of blessing.
"No? Then get lost," Oscar shouted.
At this moment, Maria also walked over, "Oscar, what are you doing? Everyone who comes today is a guest."
She walked over and, seeing it was Larry, her mood instantly soured.
"Larry, it's you, you loser. Chloe didn't send you an invitation. What are you doing here?"
The Lewis family all looked down on Larry.
They all wanted to drive him away.
"He is my guest, my date." A voice came.
Larry looked over.
He saw a woman in her twenties, wearing a white dress, like a noble white swan, walking over.
It was Esmeralda.
Esmeralda walked over, intimately holding Larry's arm, with a bright smile, and called out, "Larry."
"Esmeralda, please come in."
Seeing Esmeralda and Xerxes, Maria's expression instantly changed to a bright smile.
Esmeralda's face showed displeasure, "Apologize to Larry, or I won't go in."
Maria's face showed difficulty.
Apologize to this loser Larry?
How could that be possible?
But thinking of Xerxes' status, thinking of Esmeralda's status, thinking that Chloe's billion dollars all came from Xerxes, she immediately said, "Larry, I'm sorry."
Larry took a deep breath.
He was used to it and didn't mind.
Only then did Esmeralda, holding Larry's arm, walk into the Sunset City Hotel.
