Five years ago, he disappeared from the international battlefield under the charge of treason, condemned by his entire country.
Five years later, he was the uncrowned king of the dark world, holding the lifeblood of the global economy in his hands.
A sudden global livestream shattered the peace: China's Supreme Court announced that it was reopening the final trial of the treason case.
In the defendant's seat, he calmly raised his eyes and looked at the faces that had once sent him to hell.
At that moment, government officials from a hundred countries sat upright before their screens, while the mysterious livestream surpassed one billion viewers.
His wristwatch flashed, connected to a dark web key capable of paralyzing the finances of half the world.
“Your Honor,” he said with a smile, “shall I call the first witness?”
The courtroom doors burst open. The person who walked in was China's former commander in chief, who had been “killed in action” five years earlier.
The livestream crashed in an instant.
