Chapter 829: A Wise Man Knows When to Retreat
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Hearing Saptanshu’s criminal record piqued Tang Xiu’s interest a bit. It seemed like this guy should be sentenced for a few hundred years judging by his criminal record.
“How many years is his sentence?” Tang Xiu interrupted Sander and asked with a pale smile.
Sander glanced at Saptanshu and lightly said, “With such heavy crimes, he’s been sentenced to 260 years.”
“He’s quite interesting, I think, and should be suitable to stay in cell 18.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Warden, how about you stretch the rules and put him in the same cell with me?”
“Alright, take him to the cell 18, too.” Sander nodded. “Trash this brat first if he’s crossing the line.”
Immediately after, the 13 people including Saptanshu looked at Tang Xiu with a weird expression. They really couldn’t tell something. Is this guy a fellow convict or the Boss of this prison? This fellow convict just talked with the Warden, and the latter actually listened to him?
The few prison guards who were with Sander were the latter’s trusted men. Although they didn’t understand why their immediate superior would listen to a prisoner, they still immediately released Saptanshu’s handcuffs and pushed him to follow behind Sander and head outside.
They walked along the corridor with many gates. The longer they passed through the corridor, the heavier guarded it was with tighter security. As they walked halfway through, the group took the elevator to the fourth floor and walked down the dark corridor to the end. They then found prison cell 18. When the steel door to the cell opened, Tang Xiu and Saptanshu were pushed inside.
“This is your place now; I’ll come to teach you every day,” said Sander with some deep, mysterious meanings in his words. He deeply looked at Tang Xiu and then immediately ordered the prison guard to close the door and lock it from the outside.
There were four prisoners inside the cell already. But Tang Xiu couldn’t believe that there was a woman among them. The woman had the muscles of a bodybuilder and looked exceptionally robust and stocky. There was a fierce scar on the left cheek of her rough face that looked like a poisonous scorpion.
As for the other three, one was a middle-aged man who boasted a burly and stocky physique with a lot of tattoos on his body; even two-thirds of his naked arms were fully covered in tattoos.
There was also a thin old man with white hair, seemingly in the last years of his life. However, although the two dumbbells in his hands were at least tens of kilograms, they looked very light in his hands that were continually lifting and putting them down.
The last one was a gentle looking young man around 25 years old. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and sat in the innermost corner of the cell reading a book. He didn’t even look up, nor did he blink, when Tang Xiu and Saptanshu were sent inside.
“How interesting. Two prisoners were sent to our cell at once. This is the first time in history,” The burly man, who sat on the bunk, stroked his chin and grinned.
Tang Xiu observed the four people before he finally shifted his sight to Saptanshu and smilingly said, “Well, I heard that the first thing that happens when someone first arrives at a cell is that the old inmates will haze them with beatings. Judging from their looks, you’ll probably suffer from beatings and bruises, mate.”
Saptanshu angrily glared at Tang Xiu and clenched his fist which emitted cracking sounds from his bones. He then grimly said, “Brat, I think I need to teach you a lesson before we get beaten then. No way those fucking guards sent me to this cell if it wasn’t because of your dirty fucking trick, asshole.”
Slap…
Tang Xiu just raised his hand and slapped Saptanshu’s face in response to his words. Before the fellow was able to respond, he pulled him into the air and smashed him into a single bed a few meters away and spoke casually, “Me taking you here is actually good for you, bastard. Don’t swear at me before you figure out how else I’ll make you learn to be docile and obey me.”
Having said that, he looked at the other few people who had surprised faces as they watched him, and then said, “Well, I’m a newcomer here and I’ll probably disturb you all for a few days. The name is Xiu. The four of you, why don’t you introduce yourselves to me?”
The burly man wore a bit of a serious expression when he looked at Tang Xiu. He saw Tang Xiu’s beat Saptanshu a while ago with a speed that secretly shocked him inside. He was also a ruthless man and once killed a tiger bare-handed. He even fought with polar bears to the death and the number of enemies that died to his hands for decades was numbered in the tens of people.
Yet, he could very well see that the Oriental young man in front of him was definitely an expert.
“Xiu, eh? That’s a very interesting name, and you’re also very powerful. If you can knock Emily down, it will prove that you have the ability to make us introduce ourselves to you.”
The bodybuilder-like female convict coldly snorted and interjected discontentedly, “Your balls shrink after seeing a powerful expert, Katu? To think that you’re pushing me to beat him, do you find it interesting or something?”
“Well, my balls are indeed shrinking back to my stomach in front of you, Emily.” Katu grinned and said, “Spare the nonsense and just play with him, will you? Let us see which of you can stand and have the right to talk.”
Emily rolled her eyes and immediately looked at Tang Xiu, then hooked her index finger and said without being salty, “That shit tried to see us have some play, so I might as well use it as a warm-up. I definitely won’t break your legs, brat. But as for your hands… that will depend on my mood.”
“If I must fight you all, only that old man is worth a fight. As for you, though… I think it’s better for you to forget it!” Tang Xiu shook his head indifferently.
