Chapter 337 Requesting Black Dragon to Head to the Border Again
Hotel, lobby.
A number of Sunset City celebrities were gathered here.
From the business world.
And from the political world.
The politicians were all here for Black Dragon.
Because the news about Black Dragon and Chloe was spreading like wildfire.
Everyone said Chloe got divorced to be with Black Dragon.
Black Dragon, once one of the Five Great Marshals.
Even though he's retired now, he's still worth befriending.
Chloe was wearing a white low-cut gown, her long hair was up, and her face was wrapped in bandages. Even so, it didn't affect her unique charm and elegance.
She was greeting some big shots.
And Sirius was following her the whole time, like a bodyguard.
Esmeralda walked in with Larry on her arm.
Chloe saw the two approaching, and seeing Larry so close with another woman, she was momentarily stunned. Then she smiled and walked over, graciously saying, "Esmeralda, you're here."
"Yes." Esmeralda nodded lightly.
Esmeralda was from the Vale family, a true big shot, part of the Lewis family, someone Chloe wanted to win over.
Even with Larry there, Chloe was all smiles.
She greeted Esmeralda warmly, completely ignoring Larry as if he were invisible.
"Larry." A voice called out.
Larry turned to look.
Abigail, dressed in a red gown, walked over and blinked her big eyes at him, "I thought you weren't coming."
Larry joked, "I was too lazy to cook, so I came to get a free meal."
"Chloe." After greeting Larry, Abigail turned to greet Chloe.
Chloe nodded.
Abigail tugged at Larry, saying, "Let's sit over here for a bit."
Esmeralda then let go of Larry and nudged him, saying, "Go ahead."
Larry followed Abigail to a nearby sofa.
He sat down and lit a cigarette.
Abigail sat across from him, staring at him, and joked, "You look quite handsome in a suit, very manly. Chloe is really foolish."
"Really?" Larry smiled faintly.
He never thought of himself as handsome.
His looks had nothing to do with being handsome.
"Really," Abigail said seriously.
"Alright." Larry didn't bother to argue.
Seeing Larry sitting across from her but constantly glancing at Chloe in the distance, Abigail's eyes showed a hint of sadness.
They say the best time to win a man's heart is when he's down and out, but she felt that no matter what she did, she couldn't get into Larry's heart.
Because Larry's heart had always been occupied by one person, leaving no room for anyone else.
More and more people arrived.
Abigail went to greet some familiar faces.
Larry sat alone on the sofa in the lounge area, playing games on his phone.
Meanwhile, outside the Sunset City Hotel.
A number of people appeared.
These were ordinary citizens.
They were holding a white banner covered in dense writing.
"Is Chloe here?" The people asked.
Chloe learned about this and quickly walked out. Seeing the citizens outside the hotel, she couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"Chloe, where is Black Dragon? The Southwild border is in great danger, please ask him to go to the border."
"This is everyone's wish, we beg Black Dragon to go to the border and defeat the enemy."
Chloe saw the banner in their hands, covered with names.
Chloe frowned slightly and said, "How would I know where Black Dragon is?"
"Chloe, what's wrong with you? Black Dragon doesn't belong to just you. Get him out here and send him to the border."
"Black Dragon, the nation needs you."
"The nation needs you."
"The nation needs your protection."
The people spoke in unison, their voices loud and clear. There were many special police officers maintaining order at the scene, but none of them stopped the citizens from asking Black Dragon to go to the border.
The commotion outside caught the attention of many people.
These big shots all walked out.
Abigail did the same.
She walked out and saw thousands of citizens gathered outside the hotel, holding banners and asking Black Dragon to go to the border and fight in Southwild.
Chloe saw Abigail, glanced at her, and then pushed her forward, "She's Black Dragon's girlfriend. I really don't know where Black Dragon is. Ask her."
Abigail was stunned.
Then she remembered the last time she and Larry pretended, making Chloe think she was Black Dragon's girlfriend.
Everyone was also stunned.
Wasn't it rumored that Black Dragon and Chloe were a couple?
How could Black Dragon's girlfriend be someone else?
"Miss, where is Black Dragon?"
Many people looked at Abigail.
"I don't know."
Abigail shook her head.
Larry was inside, and he hadn't shown up. How could she say anything?
After speaking, she turned and went back into the hotel.
Hotel, a lounge area.
Abigail walked over, looked at Larry playing on his phone, sat down, and said, "A lot of citizens have shown up outside, asking Black Dragon to go to the border."
"Really?"
Larry put down his phone, looked at Abigail, and asked, "Really?"
"Yes."
Abigail nodded, "The situation at the border is very severe. Southwild fell last night, and the Black Dragon Army suffered heavy casualties, retreating three hundred miles."
"Is it that serious?" Larry was shocked.
He had turned off his phone and slept last night, not paying attention to the outside world.
When he turned it on this morning, he saw many missed calls from Frank, but he ignored them.
He immediately opened his phone's web browser.
On the webpage, there was a special report on the Southwild Border, with the latest updates on the situation in Southwild, and a donation page for the war. Nationwide donations had already reached tens of billions of dollars.
Larry browsed the latest updates on Southwild, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The Black Dragon Army's crushing defeat?
This was the first time in ten years.
After reading, he took a deep breath.
"Don't worry too much. The nation doesn't only have the Black Dragon Army; there's also the Legion of Flame Surge and others. All major military districts are now mobilizing to support Southwild. There's no need to worry about the twenty-eight countries."
Larry was also worried about Southwild and the Black Dragon Army.
But he was no longer Black Dragon.
No longer the commander of the Black Dragon Army, worrying was useless.
He believed the nation would send excellent generals to fight in Southwild.
"Will it really be okay?"
Abigail was also a bit worried and couldn't help but ask, "Will the twenty-eight countries push from Southwild into the mainland?"
"How is that possible?"
Larry shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. The nation's military power is the best in the world. The twenty-eight countries are just small nations. Even if they unite, there's no need to worry. It's just a border armed conflict, not a large-scale war. If the nation really went all out, it could quickly wipe out the twenty-eight countries."
As one of the former Five Great Marshals.
Larry was very familiar with the nation's military power.
If it weren't for international regulations prohibiting the use of highly destructive weapons in large-scale warfare, the twenty-eight countries wouldn't dare invade the nation's border.
Hearing this, Abigail felt relieved.
Outside.
Thousands of citizens were already kneeling on the ground.
In the citizens' eyes, Black Dragon was in the Sunset City Hotel.
Because it was rumored that Black Dragon and Chloe had an unusual relationship, and how could Black Dragon not attend Chloe's birthday party?
But Chloe really didn't know where Black Dragon was.
With so many people kneeling and begging her, she was helpless.
"Please get up. Black Dragon really isn't here. I really don't know where he is," Chloe said helplessly.
