5 Badu Island Secret - part 1 (1/2)
”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.”
