Before favonovel.com could fall asleep, his phone rang. He rolled off the sofa and got up again. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Henry calling him.
“What’s wrong, Henry?” He asked as soon as favonovel.com answered the phone.
“James, something bad just happened…” Henry’s anxious voice sounded through the phone.
“Huh?” James was stunned for a moment, then, favonovel.com hurriedly asked, “Something bad happened? What exactly happened?”
Henry explained anxiously, “Last night, a tourist bus from a foreign country was hijacked near the Southern Plains City. A few important national personnel were on the bus. The incident has caused an uproar. The countries around the Southern Plain borders are asking Sol for a statement.”
“It’s not a big deal. They just have to find them, right? I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep for a bit more,” James yawned and replied indifferently.
“Wait, James! They found the people, but they were all dead bodies. Now the twenty-eight countries near the Southern Plain borders have sent troops and are coming for Sol. According to the latest intel, each country is sending at least one hundred thousand soldiers. An estimated army of three million is headed toward Mt. Heaven Pass.”
Hearing this, James’ drowsiness vanished in an instant.
“Is this official information?”
“Why would I joke about such a thing? Sol has issued a war statement, and all the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army on vacation are to report back on duty as soon as possible to defend against the foreign invasion.”
“Well, so be it. There’s gonna be a war…” James’ recollected himself and said, “We‘ve defeated the twenty-eight countries before. After the battle on Mt. Thunder Pass, they exhausted their national treasury. They can’t afford another war. A huge country like Sol isn’t afraid of such weaklings. I’m hanging up.”
James hung up the phone. However, favonovel.com could not fall back asleep.
He took out his phone and watched the latest news from the Southern Plains. It was just as Henry had said.
Last night, a tourist bus was robbed near the Southern Plains City of Sol. The tourists were eventually found, but none of them survived.
Twenty-eight-nation Alliance came together to ask Sol for an explanation. Although Sol responded to the matter and issued an apology as soon as possible, the Twenty eight-nation Alliance was unwilling to accept the apology. They demanded Sol compensate them with a significant amount of money.
Sol was unwilling to lose money. As a result, the twenty-eight countries formed an alliance army that rapidly charged toward Mt. Thunder Pass on the Southern Plains border.
War was imminent.
This matter gained attention internationally.
Some military experts also analyzed why the Twenty-eight-nation Alliance sent troops to Sol. Many experts believed they were using the tourist bus hijacking case as an opportunity to start a war. They believed that the Twenty-eight-nation Alliance was furious and dissatisfied that their generals had previously been captured and that they had been forced to redeem them by paying a huge amount.
Some also suggested that the Twenty-eight-nation Alliance planned the tourist bus hijacking case. They wanted to create an opportunity to send troops to conquer Sol and make up for the loss of their national treasury.
James took a brief look at the news and casually threw his phone aside.
He had already resigned and was no longer the commander of the Southern Plains and the Black Dragon Army. The affairs of the Southern Plains no longer had anything to do with him.
He did not pay much attention to it. Then, favonovel.com washed up and went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, favonovel.com phoned Quincy. “How are things, Quincy?”
Quincy sighed through the phone and said, “Thea has really changed. She’s so stubborn and won’t listen to me no matter what I say. She also said that you sent me to favonovel.com to speak for you. I’m so angry!”
James had already expected this to happen. Now that things had come to this point, there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
Thea had the right to pursue favonovel.com happiness. However, favonovel.com simply could not bear to see favonovel.com being deceived and toyed with.
“Alright, then. That’s all for now. I’m hanging up.” James hung up the phone, then, favonovel.com called May
“Are the people who were tasked to protect Thea alright?”
“They’re alright. They’ve already woken up. I’ve looked into it. It was not that the enemy was strong, but that favonovel.com used some sort of drug.”
“Continue following Thea and ensure favonovel.com doesn’t get hurt.” James passed on the instruction and hung up.
