Chapter 342 Abigail Resigns
War—Summer Nation has never feared anyone, never feared any country.
Larry wasn't afraid either.
However, he deeply understood the harm war brings to ordinary people.
He advocated for peace.
If they could avoid fighting, they would.
Even though the coalition of twenty-eight nations had already occupied Southwild, he didn't act rashly or immediately send troops to reclaim the lost cities. He needed to get to the bottom of this.
Understanding the cause and effect of the situation, he wanted to be clear-headed and not be used by others.
The key to understanding this matter was to figure out the hijacking of the tour bus, what kind of bus it was, the backgrounds of the people on it, and whether their visit to Summer Nation was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.
At this time, the Black Dragon Army couldn't go to other countries to investigate.
This task was best suited for the assassins on the hit list.
They were all assassins, extremely skilled, traveling around the world for years, and they had their own ways to enter the twenty-eight countries and investigate the backgrounds of these people.
Many assassins left one after another.
The sun set in the west.
The night sky was dotted with stars.
Aelsira, military district.
A training ground.
Many soldiers were training hard.
A few people sat nearby.
It was Larry, Frank, and Idris.
The three sat on the ground, drinking and watching the soldiers training in the distance.
Frank sighed, "Dragon Lord, a few years ago, you were training day and night like this."
"Really?"
Larry touched his nose; he had almost forgotten those days.
Changing the subject, he said, "Frank, Idris, I always feel that this coalition of twenty-eight nations is targeting me."
Hearing this, the two were stunned.
Frank looked at Larry and asked, "Dragon Lord, targeting you?"
"Yes."
Larry nodded and said, "Although it's just a feeling, a lot has happened recently. The Aurora Citadel government is very unsettled, and the highest leaders of Summer Nation want to make a power shift. The last time something like this happened was thirty years ago when the previous Black Dragon died in battle."
Frank and Idris both looked quite serious.
Although they hadn't experienced these events, they had heard about them.
Larry continued his analysis.
"The Black Dragon Army is a very special force, related to Southwild's geographical environment. Southwild is at the border of many countries, not only the twenty-eight small countries but also Summer Nation's real rival, Auristan. The Black Dragon Army was established to resist Auristan. It is a force independent of any military district, only commanded by the Black Dragon, and the Black Dragon Army's commander also wields the Execution Sword."
"Thirty years ago, when the previous Black Dragon died, there was a major power shift in the Aurora Citadel government."
"Now, it's time again."
Frank couldn't help but say, "So, some big figures in the Aurora Citadel want you dead. They can't act against you domestically, so they orchestrated this battle to lure you to Southwild, hoping you'd die on the battlefield?"
"Yes." Larry nodded, "That's very likely."
Idris asked, "Dragon Lord, who do you think orchestrated all this?"
Larry shook his head, "I don't know. These are just my speculations. There's no evidence. Let's wait until we find out more."
Frank hesitated slightly, then said, "Dragon Lord, the domestic attention on Southwild is very high right now. They are demanding that the Black Dragon Army act quickly to reclaim the lost territory. If we just stay in Aelsira and don't act, it might cause domestic discontent."
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "The lost territory will definitely be reclaimed, but it doesn't matter if it takes a few more days. Let's wait and see who is behind supporting the twenty-eight nations. Let's not discuss this anymore. Come, let's drink."
Larry picked up a bottle of wine.
Frank and Idris also picked up theirs.
The three clinked their bottles together.
Then they drank straight from the bottles.
The night passed silently.
The next day.
Sunset City.
Last night, many people in Sunset City couldn't sleep.
Among them were Chloe and the Lewis family, as well as Abigail.
Chloe stayed up all night.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Her mind was filled with images of Larry, the man who, upon their first meeting, held her hand and said, "With me, you have the whole world of men."
She didn't know how many tears she had shed.
She walked out of her room, looking listless.
In the living room.
There were quite a few people sitting.
Maria, Scott, Mindy, and Sam.
Sam's injuries hadn't fully healed, but he had been discharged and was recuperating at home.
"Chloe," Sam called out, scolding, "You divorced Larry without telling me. If you had told me earlier, I would have stopped you."
Chloe walked over and sat on the sofa, looking listless and expressionless.
She glanced at Sam and asked flatly, "What, did you know about Larry's identity all along?"
Sam shook his head, "Not all along. Just before I was hospitalized, when we were captured by the Carter family, Larry came to rescue us. You were rescued first, and I was behind. I saw Larry kill Timothy and beat Justin to the point of being unable to take care of himself. Finally, Free came to clean up the mess and announced publicly that they came because of a tip-off."
Chloe laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was really foolish."
She should have figured it out long ago.
How could a useless person call the military several times?
"Chloe, what do we do now?" Sam asked anxiously, "Larry treated you so well, and you drove him away."
"I don't know either." Chloe shook her head, feeling very regretful. If she could do it all over again, she would definitely treat Larry well and never let him be sad or hurt.
"Chloe, why don't you go to Southwild?" Maria suggested, "Larry loves you so much. If you go, he will surely be moved, and then you can get back together and remarry."
Chloe shook her head.
Would it still be useful to chase after him now?
She had broken Larry's heart.
Moreover, Larry went to Southwild to fight, not to play.
If she went, she would only cause trouble for Larry.
Not only would she not gain Larry's forgiveness, but he might even resent her.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that. We are destined to be apart." Chloe shook her head slightly.
Everyone sighed.
At this moment, the Epoch Group.
Sue's office.
Sue looked at the resignation letter in her hand and then at Abigail standing in front of her, frowning slightly.
"Abigail, what are you doing? The group is at a critical moment right now. If you resign at this time, who am I supposed to hand the business over to? Larry just left, and now you're resigning. If he comes back and sees his group in shambles, won't he be very upset?"
"Ms. Cox, I've thought it through."
Abigail took a deep breath and said, "I'm not suitable for this position. In this era, there's no shortage of talented people. There are countless talented individuals without a platform. As long as Ms. Cox is dedicated to finding them, you will discover talent."
"But if you leave like this, are you being fair to Larry?"
Abigail hesitated.
After thinking for a moment, she still didn't say anything.
"I won't approve this resignation." Sue handed it back to Abigail and ordered, "Get back to work."
"Even if you don't approve it, I'm still leaving."
Abigail turned and walked out.
Sue was so angry that she trembled.
Abigail walked out of Sue's office, stood at the door, took a deep breath, and muttered softly:
"I also want to stay and help manage the group, but I want to pursue my own happiness even more. If I miss this opportunity, I might never have another chance."
Last night, Abigail couldn't sleep.
She thought about it all night and decided to go to Southwild.
Even if she couldn't see Larry, she could still be a volunteer.
She wanted to contribute to the country, to do logistics work, to support Larry.
If she could see Larry, that would be the best.
