Chapter 363 Larry Gets Caught
After attending the press conference, Alistair headed straight to Sunset City overnight to start gathering evidence.
He had been keeping a close eye on Larry.
He knew everything Larry had been up to in Sunset City.
He went directly to the relevant parties.
The Four Great Families, Harmony Alliance Circle, Prosperity Business Alliance, and others.
With the testimonies from these people, even without going to Southwild to investigate further, it was enough to cause trouble for Larry.
Before dawn, he had handled everything and set off with the Legion of Flame Surge to Southwild to make the arrest.
Morning!
Larry slowly woke up.
Even though he had slept all night, he felt exhausted rather than refreshed.
He called Frank and gave him some instructions.
Frank then called to arrange breakfast.
Soon, breakfast was ready.
The two ate together and drank together.
But the atmosphere was a bit off.
The sound of heavy shoes hitting the ground echoed.
Frank turned to look.
A middle-aged man, accompanied by several men in black suits, approached.
The middle-aged man was none other than Alistair, the commander of the Legion of Flame Surge at Aurora Citadel, and the head of the Five Great Marshals of Summer Nation.
Alistair gestured slightly, and the men behind him stopped in their tracks.
He walked over to Larry and Frank, sat down on the nearby sofa, and smiled, "Larry, enjoying yourself, I see."
Larry leisurely ate with a spoon.
He only looked up when he heard the voice, asking, "Busy all night, must be tired. Have you eaten? Join us."
Alistair took out a cigarette and handed it over, smiling, "I know you like this. Here, have one more. You might not get the chance again."
Larry put down his spoon and took the cigarette.
Frank lit it for him.
Larry leaned back on the sofa, exhaling smoke through his nose, looking content.
Frank sat beside him, glaring at Alistair, fists clenched, eyes bloodshot with anger. He wanted nothing more than to tear Alistair apart for his scheming.
"Alistair, you can target me, I have no complaints. This is a battle between big shots. But how can you involve innocent people? Chloe is innocent. Give her the antidote after I'm imprisoned."
Larry's tone was a mix of command and plea.
"Larry, what do you mean? I don't understand. Finished smoking?"
With that, he took out an arrest warrant.
"This is the King's arrest warrant. During your tenure, you abused your power for personal gain. The evidence is conclusive. Please come with us."
As Alistair spoke, several men in black suits approached.
They were from the Legion of Flame Surge at Aurora Citadel.
One of them took out handcuffs.
Frank's fists tightened, veins bulging on his face.
Larry stood up weakly and extended his hands.
His hands were cuffed instantly.
Then he was escorted out of Black Dragon Mansion.
Outside Black Dragon Mansion.
A crowd had gathered, including citizens and reporters.
The entrance of Black Dragon Mansion was never short of people.
Previously, it was gossip reporters and admirers of the Black Dragon.
Now, it was people reveling in Larry's downfall.
Seeing Larry handcuffed and escorted out, many cheered.
"Finally!"
"This scumbag is finally arrested."
"This might be the biggest corrupt official in Summer Nation's history."
Citizens spoke out, while media reporters frantically took photos.
"Breaking news, Larry arrested!"
"Legion of Flame Surge commander Alistair led a team from Aurora Citadel to Southwild overnight to arrest Black Dragon."
"Summer Nation's biggest corrupt official caught."
"Latest news, Sunset City's Epoch Group confirms Larry as the boss. The Epoch Group has disbanded, and Larry's assets have been confiscated."
"According to statistics, Larry amassed ten trillion dollars during his tenure."
As soon as Larry was arrested, various news reports broke out.
These reports caused a nationwide sensation.
Larry was taken onto a plane.
It was the Legion of Flame Surge's private jet.
On the plane, Larry slumped in his seat, utterly drained.
"Alistair, you won."
He spoke weakly.
"Larry, what do you mean, I won? As one of the Five Great Marshals and the Dragon King, second only to the King, you committed so many wrongs against the people. As the commander of the Legion of Flame Surge, it's my duty to arrest you. Don't blame me."
Alistair's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Spare Chloe, give her the antidote. She's innocent."
Larry pleaded again.
Alistair closed his eyes, resting, and said no more.
Larry was furious.
He cared little for his own life, having long accepted his fate. His only concern now was Chloe.
He was taken to Aurora Citadel and imprisoned in an underground jail.
This jail was reserved for important prisoners.
With Larry's imprisonment, Sunset City's power dynamics changed drastically.
The Epoch Group disbanded.
The Five-State Business Alliance paid five hundred billion dollars to buy back NextGen City, and the money went into the national treasury.
Aurora Citadel, underground jail.
This jail was built underground.
Larry was taken to a dark, damp cell.
The cell had no bed, the floor was filthy, and the smell was unbearable.
Larry sat on the ground, leaning against the wall.
He was utterly exhausted, not wanting to speak.
Even leaning against the wall felt tiring, so he lay down on the ground and slept.
Meanwhile, Alistair continued gathering evidence.
Collecting more incriminating evidence against Larry.
In just one day, everything was settled.
The night Larry was arrested.
Alistair held another press conference.
He spoke confidently.
"The nation will not tolerate corruption. Once discovered, it will be severely punished. Following public reports, a special investigation team was formed. After a day and night of investigation, we obtained evidence of Larry's crimes."
"Tomorrow morning, Larry will be publicly tried."
"Under the watchful eyes of the public, we will openly question Larry, list his crimes, and inform the world, serving as a warning to future generations."
Alistair's words were met with thunderous applause.
"This concludes the press conference."
After the press conference, Alistair returned to his estate, leaning back on the sofa with a barely noticeable smile.
Larry was finished, and a weight was lifted from his heart.
At that moment, in the dungeon, Larry woke up from hunger.
He had been poisoned, and the poison was draining his energy, making him easily fatigued. Now, after a day without food, he was even more exhausted.
He woke up, his stomach growling.
He weakly crawled up, leaning against the wall, sweating profusely.
"Is anyone there? Can I get some food?"
He called out weakly, his voice barely audible even to himself.
In the neighboring cell.
A man stood by, watching Larry through the iron door.
"Ha, Black Dragon, I can't believe you're here!"
