Kapitel 5: Good Morning, Chief Warden

There was only one reason why Wuxing would confront Long Qing instead of staying silent and ignoring his slander—this being his current location and situation.

Wuxing was now a criminal inside a prison with thousands of people who most definitely hated him and what he represented. In this place, there were people who were even more hated than Seven Star mercenaries.

The rapists.

Even if the criminals imprisoned here were infamous terrorists and bloodthirsty killers, most with multiple offences to their names, the vast majority were hot-blooded men who were against crimes like r*pe. If Wuxing had allowed Long Qing to frame him and successfully paint him as such a monster, he wouldn't have a nice time in here.

Initially, he could scare other prisoners from attacking him due to his fame and skills, but if they believed that he was a rapist, even if it wasn't true, they would definitely team up against him. Even if he was strong and went through long years of training, he would not be able to fight against hundreds of men all by himself for who knows how long.

News inside the prison travelled fast and if he failed to convince these people of his innocence, it would be impossible for Wuxing to prevent this fake information from spreading. That is what Long Qing wanted. Unfortunately for him, Wuxing would not allow for that to happen.

The criminals in the Alpha Sector weren't stupid and seeing the situation, together with Long Qing's reaction, they could tell that the new warden was just trying to frame the newcomer.

The first stage was done. Wuxing faintly rejoiced seeing that the prisoners were no longer directing their glares at him, but rather aiming the spear of their dissatisfaction towards Long Qing instead. These criminals despised such a practice as the same could happen to them as well. This treachery, coupled with the fact that Long Qing was actually from the Seven Stars, didn't help him at all and rather generated a higher volume of anger towards him.

The second stage was just about to happen. It was about how to salvage the crisis of the guards coming at him because of Long Qing's order. Unfortunately for them, Wuxing already had a plan prepared the moment this new warden appeared, even before he started his idiotic 'righteous' speech.

Just as Wuxing expected, the first guard to reach him was the same one who was in charge of waking the prisoners up this morning, the very person who showed some respect in his eyes towards Wuxing.

This ex-Seven Star agent had already calculated everything. He had taken note that this guard stood the closest to him and because he was young, there was a high possibility he would listen to the new Alpha Sector warden's order.

The guards on the platforms near the ceiling had semi-automatic machine guns with live ammunition and they watched over the whole morning procedure with great care. They wouldn't mind shooting if anything serious was happening. The prisoners knew that they would certainly die if they decided to think of anything funny, so they just stood calmly on their spots and watched as the situation played out.

This was also the reason why the guards didn't mind walking next to the prisoners with no guns, only armed with taser batons on them, which was just enough to protect themselves in emergency situations.

Just as the young guard reached him, the way he swung his baton was swift and ruthless. As taught in his training, he showed no mercy against rebelling prisoners. However, just as he was about to swing his baton down with all his might, he subconsciously froze.

He was actually terrified to continue.

What stopped him were Wuxing's cold azure eyes that met his own. These pair of eyes were giving off a dangerous feeling, an invisible signal to him that was transmitting a message, 'If you move any further, I will kill you.'

Just as he was about to say something, Wuxing's eye colour abruptly changed.

"Aaah!"

At that moment, the young guard dropped his baton to the ground and cried out, frightened out of his wits. The other guards were a bit farther away and their positions did not allow them to see the quick change on Wuxing's eye colour before it returned back to normal. However, how could the young guard miss it? Adding the simple yet fiendish smile on Wuxing's face, the poor guard had every reason to be scared. He did not even notice that he had lost balance and fell on his ass.

"What happened?" Another guard quickly walked up and helped his buddy up while watching Wuxing cautiously. He didn't see the new prisoner attack or do anything other than look at his friend. He was quite speechless at this scene.

A couple of prisoners could not help but laugh at the trembling young guard but they were quickly disciplined by the second one with the end of his taser baton. They immediately quieted down after that, but there were still mocking smiles visible on their faces.

"His eyes changed colour! I swear they turned blood red for a second!" The young guard shakily stood up, still spooked. He pointed at Wuxing, hastily explaining his behaviour while distancing himself a bit.

"You must have seen wrongly. Look, his eyes are blu—holy shit!"

The second guard turned around and saw that Wuxing's eyes were indeed blue, but when he blinked, his reaction wasn't different than that of his friend's.

"I don't think you want to make an enemy out of me. Are you going to pretend to be blind and listen to this liar who has been here no longer than a day, or are you going to be smart and listen to the Chief Warden who ordered you all not to provoke me? I will not hesitate to kill you if you want to bet on your luck."

Wuxing's eyes had reverted back to their normal colour, but his voice was sharp and cold. The guards had no doubts about whether or not this dangerous man could actually act on his words.

"Cough… He is actually right. I heard the Chief Warden said something like that," one of the guards weakly coughed and the rest of the guards looked at each other in hesitation. Then, they glared at their new warden with ugly faces before they walked back to their original positions, no longer bothering about executing such a thankless job.

This was also one of the reasons why Wuxing decided to go along with this plan. Long Qing was still new. Between him as their immediate superior and the Chief Warden who had been in his position for years, the guards were bound to hesitate whose words to follow. Even if they had respect for Seven Stars, Long Qing would have to prove himself trustworthy and likeable first for them to listen to his orders wholeheartedly.

Unfortunately for Long Qing, he had the habit of thinking that he is better than everyone else and he wasn't even afraid of showing it, daring to flex his muscle of authority at every opportunity he could get. His new subordinates definitely already figured out the real nature of their new warden.

The second stage of Wuxing's plan turned out to be successful. It was time for the last stage to be executed.

Wuxing calmly watched the raging Long Qing who was on the verge of blowing up before glancing at the camera in the corner of the ceiling with a small smirk.

"Damn, he knows we are watching. Stupid Long Qing! I told him to not create any trouble yet the first thing he does is to make a mess. If not for his father, he would be nothing. Why can't he be like that Wuxing, calm and collected? Now, I even need to step out and stop him before things get worse," the Chief Warden cursed as he watched from inside the surveillance room what was happening inside the Alpha Sector.

He didn't have a shred of good opinion about Long Qing as he only got here thanks to his father's connections. The fact that these people from Seven Stars wanted to play their games inside of his prison only worsened his opinion of him. He definitely didn't like this, but he was helpless to stop it as orders came from above.

Back in the Alpha Sector, Long Qing started cursing as well, "Idiots, I told you to put him down! Didn't you hear what I just said? Do you want to get fired for not listening to my commands?"

One of the guards opened his mouth. "The Chief Warden said—"

"I don't give dog fart about what the Chief Warden said! I am in charge here so you are listening to me now!"

To his surprise, none of the guards looked scared of him when he yelled, which made him suspicious. Only when all of them said, "Good morning, Chief Warden!" did he realise why.

Kapitel 6: Badu Island Secret - part 1

"My office! Now!" 

The Chief Warden turned towards Long Qing and pointed at him while commanding angrily. 

Even if the Chief Warden was pissed off right now, he was a great figure. He wouldn't be as tactless as Long Qing and create a scene in front of every prisoner, inevitably losing face. The Chief Warden had long earned the respect and awe of every person in this prison and he wouldn't allow some idiot to ruin it even if he was from the Seven Stars Special Forces. 

However, the idiotic Long Qing didn't back down. 

"He is a prisoner and he slandered me! There was nothing wrong with my order," he continued to argue while glaring at the Chief Warden. 

Long Qing wanted to say more but he was stopped by Chief Warden's roar which spread into every corner of the Alpha Sector. 

"NOW!" 

The Chief Warden didn't waste more of his time talking to Long Qing and decided to leave at once. As he turned around, his gaze went past Wuxing and he paused for a second at the sight of his smug smile before leaving the hall. 

From the moment Wuxing arrived at his prison, he already had a notion that it would not be easy to handle him. His theory turned out to be true. 

He got a mysterious and scheming vibe from Wuxing. Usually, he was good at reading people's thoughts but when he looked at this newcomer, he couldn't get much from him aside that he would be a troublesome character. 

Long Qing, on the other hand, was different. His thoughts were easy to read, like a map. He was simple to provoke and he couldn't hide his emotions. 

Hearing his new boss roaring angrily at him and seeing him leaving him behind, there was nothing else Long Qing could do other than follow the Chief Warden. Otherwise, not only would he make a fool out of himself, but also he would provoke the man and risk insubordination. 

He still wanted to mess with Wuxing so it would be a problem if he would suddenly be fired. Even with his father's reputation, it was actually difficult for him to get this job. If he were to lose it on his first day… 

"We are not done!" Long Qing pointed at Wuxing and gave him a warning, glaring for the last time before following the Chief Warden. 

"Ha ha ha! That felt good!" 

One of the prisoners couldn't help but laugh seeing the new warden humiliated. 

"Yeah, he is from Seven Stars to boost. That idiot warden deserved—" 

Another prisoner joined in the fun but he was quite unlucky. One of the guards quickly came to him and tasered him with his baton which made him cry out, "Aaaargh, fuck!" His legs bent under the effect of electricity and he dropped to the ground immediately. 

That guard yelled right after, "What are you laughing at? Who dares gossip? No one allowed you to talk! We are continuing our morning routine!" 

Even if there was no warden leading them, these guards had been here long enough to know what they were supposed to do. The only uncertain variable was this Prisoner Number 42960 as they didn't know how to act towards him. 

Listening to his previous speech, it was very easy to believe that what he said actually happened. He was brought to Badu Island on his own and quite secretively. Besides, it wasn't uncommon to hear of people of high standing abusing their powers and influence against those they considered an eyesore. 

If what he said was the truth, he was quite pitiful. These guards certainly didn't need to bother him if he was innocent. Also, recalling their new warden's reaction, they were more inclined to believe what this prisoner said. 

The guard who was the most senior of them all approached Wuxing and informed him awkwardly, "Sir… We will be doing a morning routine now. Hope you can follow our commands." 

Wuxing smiled towards that guard and casually patted him on the shoulder. He assured him, "Don't worry. I won't trouble you guys as long as you don't trouble me. My close friend from Seven Stars should already be working on freeing me from the outside but it will probably take some time. I hope you can bear with me for a few weeks." 

Hearing Wuxing's words, that guard was even more assured that he was innocent. 

"Oh, I'm glad to hear that. My name is Yun Kun. I'm the Chief Guard of the Alpha Sector. If you need anything, sir, you can just inform me." 

His fast change of attitude was considered by him as an investment. If Wuxing ended up leaving Badu Island, then there was a chance he would be remembered. 

"Yun Kun. I will remember." Wuxing nodded before he stood back on the red line. The Chief Guard smiled after being acknowledged and walked away happily. Wuxing knew what the guard wanted, so he gave it to him. 

During the morning routine, Wuxing received a few privileges that other prisoners could only dream of. The so-called 'morning routine' consisted of normal daily stuff like bathing, breakfast and a jog inside the compound. 

Wuxing could bathe alone in a separate shower room and the food he received was the hefty meal that only guards were entitled to. However, he knew that this special treatment wouldn't last long. Long Qing, as the warden assigned to his sector, would definitely mess it up for him, so he enjoyed it as much as he could. 

If a normal person was here for the first time, one would think that the prison in Badu Island was just a normal prison, no more different than others and that person would be greatly confused. After all, this was supposed to be a maximum security prison where all worst criminals with the most heinous records were being held. 

Wuxing was also wondering why the security seemed lax and the lifestyle here didn't seem to be that hard until he heard of the activities after the morning routine. 

After everyone finished their light warm-up jog, they were led towards the deeper parts of Badu Island outside of the Alpha Sector, together with prisoners from other sectors. Everyone was grouped together and made to queue in front of a giant double door made of iron. 

Looking at the faces of other prisoners, many had bags under their eyes. Based on their haggard looks, they were not looking forward towards this activity. On the other hand, some had smiles on their faces as if they couldn't wait to enter inside. 

Wuxing liked to have everything under his control, so when an unknown factor like this appeared, he had to make sure to learn more about it. 

He looked around but didn't spot Chief Guard Yun Kun to ask him so he decided to ask a random person behind him. "Hey, man, I'm new here. What is behind those doors?" 

He made sure to ask someone who looked tired as he would probably give him the worst case scenario, which was what he wanted at the moment. 

Unfortunately, he didn't ask the right person as the man only cursed at him. "Who do you think I am? An information centre? Fuck off!" 

They were arranged in a line with a distance in between queues so if Wuxing wanted to secretly bother someone else, there was only the prisoner in front of him. 

He turn around causing the man behind him to smirk, but when the guards weren't looking, Wuxing suddenly launched his elbow backwards, hitting the rude man exactly on his liver before returning back to a casual position as if nothing happened. The attack was so fast that it didn't even take Wuxing half a second to strike. 

Of course, the body shot that the man had taken made him fall on his knees. His face was distorted in immense pain. The moment he lay on the ground curled like a shrimp, it alerted the guards. 

"Hey! What is going on there?!" 

Wuxing turned around and looked at the rude man in innocent surprise. "Man, are you okay?" 

Two guards approached and both looked at Wuxing suspiciously. One checked the man's condition. He was still on the ground, wriggling in pain. "Did anyone see what happened to him?" 

"He just suddenly dropped to the ground for no reason. No one even touched him." one of the prisoners in the line next to them shrugged. However, he had an interested expression when he glanced at Wuxing. 

"I can confirm. He just fell," another prisoner agreed right after. 

"Fuck, let's take him away." The guard glared at them and said to his friend. He knew that he won't be able to get anything from them. 

"Hey, new guy, that was a nice body shot," complimented the prisoner who first defended him as soon as the two guards dragged the rude man away. "From which sector are you?" 

Wuxing seemed to find this prisoner familiar but ever since he started working for Seven Stars, he hadn't bothered to remember most of the people he met as that would only create a mess in his brain. He only needed some distinct attributes of the people here to recall in the future. 

He spotted a black crow tattoo on the man's right arm. 

"I'm from the Alpha Sector. You?" Wuxing nodded at him without showing any emotions. He didn't need to particularly thank him for helping him out a moment ago as that was normal behavior for men like them. No one liked snitches and it was especially the case inside a prison. 

Some other things that Wuxing noticed in one glance were the purple hair as well as a crescent-shaped scar near his left ear. Those three were enough for him to recognize this man in the future. 

"Oh, I should have guessed. The moment I saw you, I knew that you were dangerous. Only the most famous and the most dangerous are assigned to the Alpha Sector. What is your name? Maybe I heard about you." The man with a crow tattoo looked at Wuxing in excitement, as if he found a treasure. 

Wuxing's gaze turned cold upon realizing that the man wanted to know too much. He ignored the question and asked one of his own. 

"What is happening behind those doors?" If he did not get his answer this time, he would ignore him. 

"Oh, yeah, you asked the guy behind you the same thing. Must be your first day. Well, I could tell you but you will get a tour by the guards anyway. Since they would explain everything to you, I would only waste my breath right now. When you finish your tour, I will try to find you and give you some tips." The man glanced at Wuxing's ankles and noticing that there was nothing there, he nodded in understanding. 

That move definitely did not escape Wuxing's eyes. He immediately looked around and noticed that every prisoner had a bulge under their pants around their ankles. He could not help but ask while frowning, "What do you guys have on your legs?" 

"You mean this?" The man with a crow tattoo smiled and pulled up his pants, revealing an ankle monitor that hugged tightly around his leg. 

"It is an advanced GPS bracelet that tracks your every move inside this prison, even outside of here. It's made from specially processed titanium. Not only is it harder than steel, but also, it has a higher melting point. If you want to get rid of it by yourself, you will definitely have to say goodbye to your leg. 

"It tightens around your bones which basically makes you unable to cut through it. It's itchy and heavy, a real pain in the ass," the chatterbox continued to explain as they walked forward in the queue.
