Chapter 368 Subsequent Plan
The nationwide public trial had finally wrapped up.
During the trial, Larry's crimes were listed one by one.
But then, each one was overturned.
As for the money issue, he did indeed take money.
However, the money he took was not only distributed to the Black Dragon Army but also used to establish the Epoch Group, with the aim of earning money to give back to the people.
Although it was illegal, it gained the support of the public.
Black Dragon had the Black Dragon Card; he wasn't short of money, but he still knowingly broke the law, all for the sake of Summer Nation.
After the public trial, Larry collapsed.
No one knew why he collapsed.
But the people knew that from then on, Summer Nation had lost a war hero, a commander who was wholeheartedly devoted to the country.
During the trial, Larry used all his strength to draw the Execution Sword and then returned it to its place.
After walking out, he walked down a path lined with people on both sides.
The path was about two or three miles long.
After walking it, he was completely exhausted, collapsed to the ground, and passed out.
No one knew how long he had been unconscious.
He slowly woke up, finding himself lying in bed with a breathing mask on, which made him very uncomfortable. He wanted to take it off.
"Larry, you're awake?"
A pleasant, excited voice rang out.
Larry turned slightly, seeing a woman sitting by the bed.
She was wearing a red dress, her figure was sexy, and her beautiful face was filled with excitement.
Larry gently nodded and reached out to remove the breathing mask.
Abigail immediately helped him, hurriedly saying, "You're very weak right now, you need to lie down and rest, don't move around."
Larry turned over and tried to get up.
Abigail went to support him.
After Larry leaned back against the bed, he weakly asked, "Where am I?"
"You're in Aurora Citadel Hospital. You've been unconscious for a day, ever since the public trial ended," Abigail said, seeing Larry in this state, she choked up, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
A five-star general, a war hero for the country and the people, ended up being publicly tried and reduced to this state.
Larry reached into his pocket.
But his pocket was empty.
"Do you have a cigarette?"
He leaned against the bed, his face slightly pale, speaking weakly.
"Larry, in your current state, you shouldn't..."
"Do you have a cigarette?"
"I... I'll go buy some for you."
Abigail didn't want Larry to smoke, but seeing him so pitiful, she couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the door.
In the hallway outside the ward, in the rest area.
Quite a few people were sitting there.
Esmeralda from the Vale family, Chloe from the Lewis family, Helen, Sue, Frank, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
A group of people sat on the chairs, not saying a word.
Larry had been in the hospital all day, and they had stayed there all day.
The hospital had done a full-body examination on Larry, and the result was that there was an unknown virus in his body. The virus could destroy the immune system, attack the nervous system, and crazily absorb the body's energy.
It was an unknown but extremely terrifying virus.
The doctors were at a loss for how to treat Larry's illness.
They said that Larry would become weak and powerless, and eventually, under the virus's devouring, his body would slowly wither, his cell tissues would die, and eventually, all normal cells would disappear, leaving only virus cells.
This was the detailed diagnosis of Larry's body by modern medicine.
Upon hearing this result, everyone was distracted and silent.
Abigail walked out.Many people saw her, but no one said anything.
Seeing Abigail leave, Chloe stood up and walked towards the ward.
Larry had become like this because of her.
If she hadn't been captured, if the enemy hadn't used her to threaten Larry, then Larry wouldn't have ended up like this.
She walked into the ward, seeing Larry awake. She walked over and stood in front of the bed, tears welling up in her eyes. Looking at Larry with a face full of apology and guilt, she whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault."
Larry weakly raised his head and glanced at Chloe.
He shook his head slightly.
He didn't blame anyone.
Even without Chloe, Alistair would still find a way to deal with him.
"By the way, are you okay? How's your health?"
Chloe shook her head, "I'm... I'm temporarily okay, my body doesn't feel any discomfort."
Hearing this, Larry was relieved.
It seemed that Chloe's Gu wasn't as terrifying as his, and she wouldn't have any issues in the short term.
"I'm sorry, really sorry!"
Chloe didn't know what to say. She stood in front of Larry, continuously apologizing.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Larry smiled, saying, "I'm fine, aren't I? I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"I... I'll go prepare something."
Chloe didn't know what she could do for Larry. Hearing that he was hungry, she quickly left the ward to prepare food.
After Chloe left, the room became quiet again.
Larry leaned against the bed.
He weakly raised his hand and rubbed his head.
He had a lot to do next.
But the most crucial thing now was to get rid of the Gu in his body.
He only had a limited understanding of Gu, not much.
He had tried using medical techniques to force the Gu out, but it was useless.
At this moment, he thought of someone.
Shadow Syndicate founder Alden.
The middle-aged man was imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon.
Alden could tell at a glance that he was infected with Gu, which meant Alden knew a lot about Gu, and perhaps he really had a way to detoxify it.
However, Alden was extremely powerful.
Years ago, Summer Nation had deployed over a hundred strong fighters, suffering heavy casualties, to capture him.
If he tried to get him out and Alden lost control, it would be a disaster.
But Larry had confidence in himself.
As long as he could detoxify and restore his combat power, he was confident he could defeat Alden.
He was deep in thought.
"Larry, your cigarette."
Abigail's voice brought him back.
A cigarette was handed over.
Larry took it.
Abigail took out a lighter and lit it for him.
Larry took a puff, his pale face showing enjoyment.
People outside started coming in.
Helen, Sue, Frank, Amelia, Eight Heavenly Dragons.
A group of people stood in front of the ward, looking at Larry leaning against the bed, smoking.
After finishing the cigarette, Larry looked at everyone, scolding, "What's wrong with all of you, with those expressions? I'm not dead yet. Frank, you need to return to Southwild to take charge."
Frank hesitated, saying, "Larry, in your condition?"
Larry waved his hand slightly, saying, "I'm fine, I won't die for now."
Then, he looked at the Eight Heavenly Dragons, instructing, "You all stay here for now, find a place to settle down, wait for my arrangements."
Larry already had a plan in mind.
Alden was a major criminal, captured by Summer Nation with over a hundred experts, and he personally apprehended him.
Now he had no position; he wasn't Black Dragon anymore, nor Dragon King, he had no authority to release Alden.
There was only one way.
That was to break him out.
But before that, he needed to inform the highest official of Summer Nation.
Moreover, he needed the highest official's help.
Because he knew the dungeon where Alden was held, it was the most heavily guarded dungeon in Summer Nation, guarded by the fully armed Legion of Flame Surge. Breaking him out would be extremely difficult; without the highest official's help, he couldn't get Alden out.
"Larry, what do we do now?" Sue stepped forward, saying, "The Epoch Group has been forcibly disbanded, and the company's finances have been confiscated."
Larry waved his hand slightly, saying, "It's okay, Sue, you've worked hard during this time. Now you should return to Sunset City and take a break for a while. If I need you, I'll contact you, but I don't think I'll need you."
