Chan Country, Mande City!
Inside the National Supreme Court, a special trial is underway.
The individuals being tried hold very special identities, including the President of You Tai Country, a famous You Tai businessman, and several You Tai high officials.
They were brought to the court in a procession of prison vans, prepared to face trial here.
At this time, outside the court, the area is already crowded with onlooking Chan citizens and media reporters from all over the world. They pointed and discussed, regarding those once-glamorous and high-ranking You Tai officials with various opinions.
"These bastards are the ones who caused the zombie virus leak; they finally caught them. Indeed, global security has to be upheld by us, Jieke Group!"
"My child is a soldier, and I heard he killed quite a few in You Tai Country. There must be rewards when he comes back this time."
"This bunch of troublemakers, I’ve heard that these You Tai people often caused us, Jieke Group, trouble, and even spoke rudely of the Supreme Leader. Now that they’ve been caught here, they absolutely shouldn’t be pardoned."
The murmuring among the crowd showed that no one had any goodwill towards these You Tai high officials being pressed down on the high platform.
Within the Jieke Group’s reign, a public opinion war was also underway. Elsewhere, Jieke Group couldn’t intervene, but within its headquarters in Chan Country, the You Tai had already been vilified by newspapers, television, radio, and internet media as the most evil nation in the world, filling the public with righteous indignation against them.
"The Supreme Leader has arrived."
A convoy of luxury cars arrived outside the square, stirring the crowd, for their Supreme Leader had appeared.
The enthusiasm of the Chan citizens in the square surged like a tide, their eyes brimming with fervent admiration for Su Jie.
The police maintaining order at the scene were dripping with sweat, doing their utmost to restrain the enthusiastic crowd to prevent them from encroaching on the Supreme Leader’s presence.
From the uniformly black luxury convoy, the window of a central limousine rolled down, revealing the figure of Su Jie, who waved at the onlooking crowd.
Instantly, the surrounding emotions erupted like a volcano, the excited shouts of the citizens piercing the sky.
"Ahh, it’s the Supreme Leader! It’s the Supreme Leader’s special vehicle!"
"My gosh, I didn’t expect to see the Supreme Leader here."
"Make way for me, I want to take a photo."
"First time seeing the Supreme Leader in person, even more handsome and majestic than on TV."
"Sob, sob, Supreme Leader, thank you for leading us out of suffering. I will erect a shrine for you, offering my devotion daily, wishing you a long life."
The citizens were so overwhelmed with excitement that they completely blocked the road.
This was the current state of Su Jie in Chan Country. His prestige in this country had almost reached mythical proportions, receiving fervent admiration and adulation from the public, becoming their faith, with countless youths willing to sacrifice for him.
"Do not neglect my people."
Su Jie opened the car door and stepped out, immediately followed by the Genetic Warrior escorts of the convoy, ensuring Su Jie’s safety, their vigilant gazes continuously scanning the crowd. Some reconnaissance abilities were activated, and any explosives or firearms present couldn’t escape the Genetic Warriors’ eyes.
Su Jie was the very essence of Chan Country; any mishap could occur, but absolutely none could befall Su Jie.
In the end, after shaking hands, taking photos, signing autographs, and speaking kindly with some citizens, expending considerable effort, the convoy was finally able to proceed.
Arriving at the platform temporarily set up for the trial, Su Jie saw Isaac, the mastermind behind the trouble caused to Jieke Group, as well as Ernest and other high officials from You Tai Country.
This was the first meeting between the two parties, though in such a meeting context, it was definitely beyond Isaac’s expectations.
"President Su, I am willing to offer my entire wealth, I am willing to submit to Jieke Group."
Upon seeing such an important figure as Su Jie, the dispirited Isaac seemed to regain some spirit, groveling like a lapdog, begging for Su Jie’s forgiveness, preparing to give everything for a chance to live, even if the success rate was only one percent.
"You’ve achieved such great success in business, how can you still be so naive at this time."
Su Jie, hearing his plea, shook his head and chuckled: "From the moment you provoked Jieke Group, your life no longer belongs to you. Accept the trial properly. Those You Tai people you harmed, they are down below thinking of you."
Having said this, Su Jie no longer paid attention to Isaac’s desperate pleas and proceeded to the gallery.
"Now I announce that the South Alliance International Military Tribunal will officially hold an international trial against the main war criminals responsible for the deployment of the bioweapon virus by You Tai. Among these people are... This is a trial of peace versus war, civilization versus barbarism, justice versus evil."
The trial procedures began on-site, conducted by 14 judges from South Alliance member countries and witnesses and testimonies from the Ba people.
The trial was broadcast live globally, attracting media from around the world to flock in.
When the trial began, a large amount of firsthand original materials and testimonies from hundreds of people systematically uncovered and enumerated the planning of the zombie virus research by the You Tai government and military, as well as the heinous crimes committed.
At the conclusion of the trial, the gavel was struck by the judge, announcing the verdict as follows.
"Now the verdict is as follows: You Tai Country’s Butler Isaga, found guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity... sentenced to hanging. You Tai Country President Ernesto, found guilty of crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity, sentenced to hanging. Balder Castro, You Tai Country Minister of Defense, found guilty of...
