Chapter 1336 Power

“What’s going on? The Warden himself is here, and he brought so many people. Is someone going to be executed?”

“Probably not. It doesn’t look like it. Even for an execution, the Warden wouldn’t need to personally oversee it…”

“Their direction seems to be Cell No. 1. Did something happen in there?”

The surrounding inmates, who were under surveillance, all craned their necks to look, constantly whispering and discussing.

The Warden personally coming here was a very rare occurrence, immediately piquing everyone’s interest, wondering what major event was about to unfold.

At this moment, Warden Otto was in a very bad mood; he had unfortunately been dragged into this incident.

At first, he thought that with the Brown Family backing him, resolving such a minor issue would be effortless.

But later, he learned that this was no ordinary person; not only was the Lawrence Family involved, but Mr. Ye himself was an extremely Heaven-Defying existence.

Just now, he received a call directly from Creston, ordering him to release the person immediately and unconditionally.

No matter what, releasing the person was ultimately a good thing. As long as this ominous star was sent out, whatever conflicts arose in the future would have nothing to do with him.

Otto led his men to the front of Cell No. 1. Since the most vicious criminals were confined here, he was very cautious and brought a sufficient number of guards behind him.

Arriving at the door, although he was already accustomed to such scenes from surveillance footage, seeing the inmates serving Ye Bufan like servants still made him secretly click his tongue.

He truly didn’t understand how this Young man managed to make these arrogant individuals bow down obediently.

“All of you, go to the side and squat against the wall.”

The Warden issued an order to the inmates.

Generally speaking, in a maximum-security prison like this, to interrogate an inmate and prevent accidents, everyone else must squat by the wall. This has been the rule for many years.

In the past, the inmates always followed this, but today, despite the Warden’s personal order, the people inside remained indifferent, instead looking at Ye Bufan in unison.

These past few days, they had been completely subdued by this Young man. No matter how great the Warden’s power, he couldn’t execute them, but the person before them could make their lives worse than death.

Comparing the two, they naturally knew whose orders to obey.

At this, Otto’s expression turned ugly. As a Warden, being unable to command his inmates was a very embarrassing thing.

At this moment, Ye Bufan waved his hand, sat up from the bed, and said calmly, “Let’s skip all this. Just tell me what you want.”

Otto remembered his mission, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile, “Mr. Ye, I’m here to release you from prison.”

His voice wasn't very loud or soft, but after he finished speaking, the entire prison instantly erupted.

“What’s going on? I didn’t mishear, did I? The Warden is actually going to let that guy out?”

“How is that possible? I’ve been locked up here for over ten years; when have I ever seen anyone who came in actually leave…”

“Exactly, this is a maximum-security prison. Besides dead people, who can ever get out?”

These people were completely shocked by this statement. No one expected that someone could actually leave this place, and that the Warden himself was releasing him.

The inmates in Cell No. 1, however, reacted differently from the others. At this moment, their hearts were filled with ecstasy. Was this ominous star finally leaving? This news was even more joyous than hearing they themselves were being released.

In the past, each of them was extremely vicious and powerful, but these past few days, they had turned from hungry wolves into docile lambs, thoroughly subdued.

They originally thought that Ye Bufan would be confined here indefinitely, and they would live in darkness, but now hearing that this man was actually going to be released, it made them incredibly excited, unable to describe their feelings.

If it were a person from Huaxia, it would be like the feeling of 1949.

The One-Eyed Dragon was the happiest. Once Ye Bufan left, he would still be the boss of this cell.

He originally wanted to laugh heartily, but then he realized something was wrong. If he angered this ominous star, he would be the one to suffer.

Realizing this, he quickly buried his head between the other’s feet, hiding his Face which was beaming with uncontrollable joy.

Otto’s smile also grew brighter and brighter. In his opinion, getting out of here, no matter what, was a great thing, and the other party had no reason to refuse.

But the result was beyond everyone’s expectation. Amidst many envious, jealous, and hateful gazes, Ye Bufan merely smiled faintly: “Leave? I haven’t stayed long enough yet, why should I leave?”

As soon as he uttered these words, many people almost choked on their own saliva.

What is this situation? I want to get out but can’t, yet you’re letting me go and I’m not leaving? Is this guy crazy?

The One-Eyed Dragon was even more so.

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

He wished he could hug the other’s feet and beg, ‘Please, master, leave quickly!’ Unfortunately, he only dared to think it secretly in his heart, lacking the courage to say it out loud.

Otto recovered from his shock, swallowed with difficulty, and then awkwardly said, “Mr. Ye, did you not understand what I meant? You have been acquitted and released now, there’s no need to stay here anymore.”

“Acquitted and released?” Ye Bufan showed a hint of mockery on his Face, “You say I’m guilty and send me in, then you say I’m innocent and want me to leave. Who gave you that right?”

“I…”

Otto immediately turned red-faced, at a loss for words.

He had managed this maximum-security prison for so many years and had never seen anyone who refused to leave even when released.

“Alright, you can leave. You are not qualified to speak with me. Let the person behind you come.”

After saying this, Ye Bufan lay back down on the bed and scolded the One-Eyed Dragon at his feet with dissatisfaction, “Are you a blockhead? How many times have I taught you? For a foot massage, you need to press the acupoints. Do you understand pressing the Yongquan acupoint?”

At this, the surrounding inmates were all stunned. Who exactly was this Huaxia person? How could he be so awesome?

“He doesn’t even put the Warden in his eyes, and he says the other party isn’t qualified to speak with him. Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?”

“It’s over. Daring to contradict the Warden like this in this place, this guy is probably going to be unlucky…”

“Ignorance is bliss, ah. Is it really easy to get out of here? Missing this opportunity might mean there won’t be another…”

The surrounding inmates shook their heads and discussed, some sighing, some envious, some gloating.

“I…”

Otto was also filled with anger, wishing he could order his subordinates behind him to severely teach this Young man a lesson, but he didn't have the courage.

This was someone who made even the Brown Family bow down, someone Creston couldn't afford to offend. How could he dare to provoke him?

Amidst everyone’s astonished gazes, he didn’t even let out a fart, turned around, and slinked away with his subordinates.

“Uh? What’s going on? Did the Warden back down?”

The eyeballs of the surrounding inmates shattered all over the floor. The things they witnessed today repeatedly refreshed their understanding.

Subsequently, a question arose in their hearts simultaneously: Who exactly was this Huaxia person? How could he possess such high prestige? Such great power?
