Chapter 1075 It Is Always Good To Have More Skills (1/2)
Li Du didn't seem too happy, and so the black man's face showed even more anxiety.
He said, ”My friend, I've already offered you my friendship, please don't ask for more.”
This big hunk was going to taunt Li Du. He had gotten word from outside that someone
wanted him to take care of Li Du and his friends, until they gave out something, and
then he would get his reward.
Who knew that as soon as he took action, he would be the one at downwind? The
prison guards had come and gone, and for some reason even they did not dare to touch
Li Du.
As the big man overheard the conversation between Li Du and the guards, he learned
that this Chinese guy apparently was an important person and that the police threw him
into the jail unlawfully as they didn't figure out his situation.
America had a reputation of being the beacon of democracy and was also known as the
Freedom Bay. In reality, this was a powerful country with an imperfect justice system,
and sometimes people would be wrongfully accused.
It was just the same as in other countries. If this happened to ordinary citizens it
wouldn't cause much fuss. At most, the police would apologize and issue compensation,
but that was it.
However, if the accused were not just anybody, but someone rich and powerful, that
could cause a scandal.
The man was tall and rough but, despite his looks, not that simple-minded. He paid
attention and understood the situation, and did not want to step further into these murky
waters.
This was especially true after he saw the tattoo on Godzilla's chest. He knew what this
tattoo represented, as he was once a street gangster leader himself, and had come
across drugs before.
Godzilla was from the largest cartel in Mexico, the Mexican Cartel. Based on his body
size and combat skills, he was not an ordinary member of it, either.
If such a person addressed Li Du as 'boss', and if someone like Brother Wolf fought for
him, the implications were alarming.
One local strong hitman and one international super-skilled soldier. This was the usual
standard of hired bodyguards for the heads of big cartels in North America.
As he considered these points, the big man hoped to make friends with Li Du. When Li
Du said that the prison food was bad, he proactively offered the good stuff he had kept
for himself.
Of course, he was not really afraid of Li Du. No matter how bad Li Du could be, that was
on the outside or even in Mexico, and this was Miami prison.
Li Du pointed at the pieces of instant noodles in the bag and said, ”Do you know what
that is?”
”This is Tang, the best food from China. It was the food that emperors and nobles ate
back in the old days,” The big man explained.
Li Du was stunned speechless.
He looked at the big hunk and only managed to ask again after a few moments, ”Who
told you this?”
The man said, ”Everyone knows that. There are advertisements on TV as well. Isn't this
the food that emperors and nobles liked? Because it's so easy to store and it won't spoil
quickly, now it has even become military food in your country.”
He continued talking about the virtues of instant noodles, and Li Du understood that this
fella had really meant to show his friendship by sharing the noodles with him.
Instant noodles were currently in high demand in all the big prisons, surpassing
cigarettes and gradually becoming the inner currency.
The reason for this was the increase in crime and the number of prisoners countrywide.
As the prison budget hadn't increased in years and had decreased when counting per
prisoner, most prisons had to lower their food budget.
Instant noodles had become popular then. They were easy to cook, tasted good, and
could be stored indefinitely. Hence, they were well-liked by the inmates.
Such a situation had even occurred in an American TV series titled ”Orange is the New
Black”. In that series, some of the prisoners had control over the supply of instant
noodles on the prison black market and ruled over their fellow inmates.
