Lying on the bed, Siegfried slowly regained consciousness. The person watching over him cried out in surprise and hurriedly pressed the intercom button. "Mr. Siegfried is awake!"
Less than ten minutes later, the Plague Doctor arrived in the ward. He waved his hand, gesturing for the others to leave, as he wanted to speak with Siegfried alone.
Once the two of them were alone in the room, the Plague Doctor pulled over a chair and sat down. He spoke slowly, "After we took over the Rusted Iron City Government, we had Sidelong and the others release false information. Now, everyone thinks the Poisonous Sore Gang has been annihilated. This has bought us precious time to develop. We expect to triple the Poisonous Sore Gang's numbers within a week."
"Triple?"
