Anton lay on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

It has been 15 days since the battle. He woke up five days ago and is lying in a hospital in Tiangui Satellite.

Apart from his good friend Sonya who came to visit him, and only one high-ranking staff member from Mission Achievement came to comfort him, no one else came to visit him.

He was seriously injured in that battle. Although a series of rescue efforts saved his life, his entire body except for his head and hands was basically paralyzed, and he had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

This dealt him a great blow. The senior executives sent over, although ostensibly to comfort him, actually intended to terminate his contract. In addition to stating that they would pay for the liquidated damages, the company would also be responsible for paying all his hospital expenses.

Of course, in order to avoid being accused of being ruthless by others, Mission: Impeccable Company gave Anton a consolation payment of 10 million Earth coins.

Anton was not at all concerned about the company's actions. What hit him the most was that he would be paralyzed for life and would no longer be able to continue his beloved job - driving MS.

Anton directly refused the media interview.

The door of the ward opened and Sonya came to visit Anton with a basket of fruit.

Anton, whose eyes were empty, finally regained some vitality when he saw Sonya. He smiled at Sonya and said, "Thank you for coming to see me."

"Well, today is my last day to visit you. I have to go back to work tomorrow."

"Okay, work is more important."

Sonia adjusted the bed position, Anton's body moved sideways, and then peeled an apple for Anton.

Anton took the peeled apple and said thank you.

Sonya looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she had something to say to Anton but didn't dare to say it.

Anton saw Sonya's expression and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"In fact, the merchant ship we escorted did not have the new MS developed by Feichi Military Science Company. In fact, the real MS had been sent elsewhere long ago. We were just a cover to lure their competitors."

"So that's how it is." Anton responded nonchalantly.

"Anton, aren't you angry? Just because they deliberately led their competitors to think that we were the ones escorting the target they wanted to destroy, that's why you became like this, aren't you angry?

"What's the point of getting angry? After all, we are just workers who get paid to do our jobs. Besides, there is no safety in our jobs. If you don't want to die and become like me, don't work in this industry."

After hearing what Anton said, Sonya sighed and said, "Anton, you can let it go even though you've become like this. If it were me, I would have cursed the company every day."

At this time, the door of the ward opened, and a young man in a black windbreaker came into Anton's ward with a teenager.

Sonya stood up and asked in a bad tone, "Who are you? Don't you know that the injured don't want to see outsiders?"

Long Fei glanced at Sonya, then looked at Anton who was lying on the bed and said, "Tianyi Mercenary Group."

Sonya immediately said angrily: "What are you doing here! The MS developed by your Tianyi Group has caused Anton to become like this, you..."

Anton patted the back of Sonya's hand to stop her from talking.

Long Fei asked Sonya, "If you say so, then the families of the pilots of the MSs you shot down in the past will hate the company that developed the MSs you drove?"

Sonya was speechless for a moment, thinking: "Yes, he is right." Then she apologized to Long Fei: "I'm sorry, I was excited and didn't think clearly."

"It doesn't matter."

The reason Long Fei came to visit this internationally recognized top ten MS ace pilot was mainly because he heard about this incident when he overheard a conversation between employees, and he also learned that Anton was seriously injured and might be paralyzed.

Long Fei thought that perhaps the improved version of the Alaya Consciousness System Surgery could help Anton stand up again, so Long Fei called Mailis and went to the Tiangui Satellite of the Hanxia Empire.

Anton asked Long Fei, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Long Fei didn't hesitate and said directly: I came here to explain to you, we just have an operation, maybe we can let you stand up again, let you drive MS again. "

Anton's eyes regained their former brilliance, and he asked excitedly, "Is this true? You didn't lie to me?"

Long Fei did not answer, but asked Mairis to turn around and pull down the back of his collar to reveal the Alaya Consciousness System device.

Anton and Sonya frowned when they saw the device. Anton asked tentatively, "This boy was originally paralyzed, but he can move like a normal person only after installing this device?"

Just as Long Fei was about to explain, the door opened again and a Tianyi mercenary walked up to Long Fei and whispered in his ear.

Long Fei frowned, a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let her in."

The person who entered the ward was a woman, Long Fei's aunt, Long Huijuan.

Long Huijuan looked at Long Fei and asked, "Aunt, did I disturb you?"

"No, I wonder what's the matter with Auntie coming here?"

"I am here on behalf of the Long family to express my condolences to Anton, and to give him some condolence money."

"Boss Long, your company has already sent condolence money."

"Mr. Anton, it is the mission of the Mission Must Accomplish Enterprise to send a condolence payment. I send the condolence payment on behalf of the Long family. The Long family still wants to thank Mr. Anton for your dedicated work over the past few years. Here, our Long family would like to send a considerable amount of condolence money. If Mr. Anton has any difficulties in the future, he can ask the Long family for a request. As long as the Long family can do it, we will definitely accomplish it for Mr. Anton." Long Huijuan personally took out a purple-gold bank card and handed it to Anton.

Anton accepted the bank card and thanked him without hesitation, then asked Long Fei, "Can the surgery you mentioned really help me get back on my feet?"

Long Huijuan looked at Long Fei in surprise.

"It's just that there's a certain chance that you can get back on your feet. But after the transformation, you may not be able to get back on your feet. You may die on the operating table."

“What is the success rate?”

Long Fei said uncertainly: "The success rate may be only 10%, and there is a 30% chance of dying on the operating table."

Sonya immediately said to Anton: "Anton, this operation is too dangerous. There is no need to take this risk."

Anton looked at Mairis and then asked Long Fei, "Is this boy born paralyzed, or is he paralyzed by accident like me?"

"Just like you, I was paralyzed by a battle." Long Fei continued: "You don't need to respond to me in a hurry. I can give you 48 hours to consider it."

"No, just help me with the discharge procedures now. I can't wait to get the surgery."

Sonya quickly advised: "Anton, this operation is too dangerous. You will die. If you undergo the operation, you will die on the operating table. It is better to live well."

"Sonia, thank you for your concern. It would be better for me to die on the operating table after a lifetime of suffering and paralysis."
