Chapter 158: Making a Move (Please Subscribe)

Bang!

"What are you looking at, kid? It's already generous enough that I'm not giving you trouble! What? You want to stand up for someone now? Why didn't I see you acting tough before, huh!"

Slamming the cell door he had just been about to open back into place, the jailer stepped forward viciously, closing in on Du En, his attitude appearing extremely rude.

The new prisoner who had been interrupted while being abused also frowned subconsciously upon hearing this, feeling displeased and unhappy.

It's true, I've been locked in here for so long and suffered who knows how much bullying; if you really wanted to stand up for me, why didn't you do it sooner?!

Du En did not pay attention to the dissatisfied gaze from that side; he only watched the jailer, who was closing in but ultimately still held reservations, his pace slowing until he finally stopped a few steps away.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Perhaps, it's just because you're ugly?"

"Damn you!"

"You say I'm blackmailing and extorting you; that would likely be believed. However, if you are so easily blackmailed and extorted by me, I'm afraid Manager Gao wouldn't tolerate you either."

"Are you sure?"

Thump!

The jailer couldn't help but kneel.

And judging by the way this master suddenly lashed out today, choosing to "perish together" didn't seem impossible; the moment he thought of how terrifying Gao Feng was, he didn't dare to gamble at all!

Feeling the iron-clamp-like grip on his neck, the jailer, in his panic and for the sake of saving his life, quickly calmed down and immediately made this statement.

Either way is death; if I fall into Gao Feng's hands, my entire social circle will likely suffer, so I might as well die alone!

Bang!

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the bars shattered.

The jailer's panicked voice woke the stunned prisoners; whether new or old, faced with such an abrupt development and novel change, ripples of emotion were stirred up, and they couldn't help but crowd forward to watch, becoming more shocked and horrified the more they saw.

But what were they seeing now? Du En had shattered several pieces of the prison bars in one go, enough to squeeze out half his body; with a little more effort, he could squeeze out completely!

Because the manager they all couldn't resist was the true source of all evil!

Du En appeared extraordinary, but what could that do?

The jailer hurriedly took out spirit stones, handing over ten mid-grade spirit stones.

The benefits of this position were much better than those of an outpost patrol guard!

His eyes were almost popping out!

Snap!

Facing Du En, a special prisoner whose magic power was not sealed, even if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he didn't dare approach carelessly, but instead whipped like this, striking from a distance.

Seeing that he had calmed down and could speak, Du En then said: "I can spare your life, but you must show something to buy your own life, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You are absolutely right! But what exactly do you want? Let's be clear beforehand, the allocation of finished goods like medicinal pills, magic artifacts, and talismans here is very strictly limited; even if you want them, I wouldn't dare give them to you!"

Thus, Du En thoughtfully reminded him: "My situation is quite obvious, isn't it? Manager Gao wants to drag down my cultivation speed, or even make me regress instead of advancing, right?"

"Master! Just tell me straight! What do you want me to do!"

Seeing him like this, the prisoners first couldn't help but hiss, followed by miserable sighs.

Therefore, as long as Du En seized the right moment to tell his rival, he would be guaranteed to be kicked out to work as a laborer the next day—no, the outcome would be even worse!

Because he dared to conceal and not report it!

The jailer was terrified; just after he finished exclaiming, a massive force struck him, and he couldn't help but fly out. Seeing that he was about to walk right into a trap and land in Du En's hands, he hurriedly let go, erupted with magic power, and hovered in mid-air.

"Wh-what?"

The jailer began to break out in a cold sweat, gradually realizing the key point.

Then, this second-grade high-tier whip, which had transformed into a venomous snake, was grabbed by Du En's suddenly outstretched hand.

Du En saw his bottom line and didn't mind at all, only saying: "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. Just give me your monthly spirit stone allowance; I'm asking for very little, right?"

"You, how did you do that? You, what are you going to do?"

Therefore, as long as this jailer dared to report it, Du En would indeed be targeted more heavily later, but he himself would definitely not fare well either!

The jailer was instantly furious; magic power was immediately poured into the whip artifact in his hand to drive it, and it revived like a venomous snake, hissing with a sibilant sound.

Du En suddenly asked a rhetorical question, while turning the newly acquired spirit stones in his hand.

"Right, right, and then?"

Daring to do this would only lead to being targeted more heavily!

The ripples that had risen were ultimately calmed in this way, only leaving people...

Hiss~

First came the sound of contact, then a burst of sparks splashed, the magic power and spiritual light flickered unsteadily, and finally, the venomous snake whimpered, returned to its original form, became limp, and was tightly gripped by Du En.

He had thought that across the prison cell, even a small lesson wouldn't be a big problem; he hadn't expected this guy to be so terrifying that even the prison couldn't stop him.

Even if he wanted to hold on and not beg for mercy, pretending nothing had happened, the jailers and prison heads were not of one mind, and they usually didn't cover things up at all, even abusing prisoners when in a bad mood; over hundreds of days, they had long since been basically figured out.

"That's right, that's right!"

"Hey, the prison's suppression of spiritual energy is so thorough that even some of the layouts are affected, all to prevent prisoners from following the clues to find any flaws or loopholes, so it can't be activated at all right now."

If I had known, I shouldn't have approached; I should have just acted like this side didn't exist, just like before!

You must know that even if a second-grade peak demonic beast without any shackles were locked in this prison, it wouldn't be able to escape!

His handle had been seized; given Gao Feng's temperament, if it were truly known, his best outcome would be a miserable job burning Earth Lung Fire in the refining and alchemy department, and he would spend his whole life there.

Du En let go, leaned out, stepped in half a pace, and with a wave of his hand, gripped the jailer's throat.

"B-Big Brother, let's talk this over. You, you are a prisoner after all; the manager is just worried he can't find an excuse to deal with you, so you must not be impulsive!"

Bang!

He pulled his body back, dragging the jailer along and slamming him against the barred wall.

"And then, what did you just give me?"

The personnel in the prison were naturally the same.

"Think about it, no matter how much Chief Steward Gao targets me, it's nothing more than reinforcing the cell to the third grade; in reality, my situation hasn't changed substantially. But what about you? If you lose this jailer job, where will you be sent to do hard labor?"

Seeing that he was quite sharp and already understood the severity of the situation, Du En asked immediately: "Aren't you afraid of these being captured by the surveillance?"

Seeing that he was actually not scared and was obediently returning the spirit stones, the jailer was momentarily stumbling over his words, completely unable to understand where his confidence came from.

Bang!

Clatter, clatter~

He was completely unharmed!

"What?!"

Du En took them, and then let the person go.

This was also the point that shocked the jailer!

From the words and actions of Gao Feng, as well as the inner city elites trained under him, and the performance of the personnel within the Inner City Affairs Office, it could be seen that his requirements for his subordinates were actually very high.

"S-spirit stones..."

It was completely unbelievable!

The jailer stumbled as he ran out, and only after feeling safe did he turn around and speak with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart: "You brat, daring to extort your grandfather! You just wait, I'm going to report this immediately and have the Chief Steward come to deal with you properly!"

This jailer was answering every question at this moment, being very honest.

He even quickly started considering things for Du En: "Master, just extorting me alone won't yield much profit; why don't I bring you some other people?"
