Why did he just start hitting people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So low-class! And what does that even have to do with showing off his strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce had actually held back with that slap, but the guy’s head kept swaying for a bit before his face quickly puffed up with a red welt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the thug nor his little gang of underlings knew what just happened. Sure, no one in this prison was a good guy, but you’d expect someone to at least have a reason before throwing hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they even know each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s that?!” Lu Ce turned his head and called out to the Cutter, as if asking for praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Everyone turned to glare at the Cutter, faces full of hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cutter: !!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold up, I don’t know him! I’ve got nothing to do with him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He denied it three times in a row, then immediately turned and shoved into the crowd, trying to disappear as fast as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talk about bad luck—ran into a lunatic. No way he was getting dragged into some mess now. Time to bail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him leave like that, the group of gangsters snapped out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sh*t! That punk just hit someone, didn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s f***ing dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everyone jumped to their feet. The thug boss who got slapped was still a little dizzy as he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce wasn’t worried at all—he knew he was stronger, and he was steady as a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reacted fast. The moment the boss got up, Lu Ce landed a solid kick and sent him flying, crashing into all the equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and bolted, diving into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss’s lackeys wanted to go after him, trying to look tough, but they paused when they heard gasping behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me! Wait... help me up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned around and saw their boss lying on the ground, pinned under a bench press barbell, totally stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First he got slapped, then he got kicked into next week—no way he could stand up. The barbell was crushing his chest, and his face was turning purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of his boys rushed over and clumsily helped him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the boss was still wheezing, Lu Ce had already dashed off and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find him! This prison ain’t that big—he’ll always be Blood Gang’s enemy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss roared, trying to sound fierce, but he was gasping so bad he started coughing violently again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late. Lu Ce was already back at the cell door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second he was out of everyone’s sight, he went full speed. He was so fast he was practically a blur, sprinting all the way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body began to shift and warp, his facial structure changing—reforming into a pink mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A creepy grin appeared on the pink mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted himself and walked right into his cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next. Move your a** already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the pink mask walk in, the others were shocked at first, then went silent. No one said a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, based on how they split the time, Lu Ce had already way overstayed his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d figured this annoying, sharp-tongued punk wouldn’t come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... he actually left them some time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce climbed straight onto his bunk without a word. The guy with the scar thought for a second, then walked toward the cell door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce smirked to himself—just as he thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it. Back when he said he wanted to go out first, Scarface had been the one to jump up and object—probably because he was originally supposed to go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s exactly why Lu Ce chose to take his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His time was limited. These people needed to die—fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold up. With more people now, your time’s gonna be shorter. Keep track yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Scarface was about to leave, the old man suddenly spoke. His tone was stiff—none of these guys were exactly buddy-buddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarface paused, gave him a cold glare, said nothing, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door shut behind him, the others all let out a collective snort, clearly unhappy with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who gets to go out first depends on strength. Scarface had probably been one of the stronger ones among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s definitely going over his time,” the old man muttered darkly. Among the original five, he was always the last to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with the pink mask added in and Yellow-Hair gone, the pink mask had hogged too much time. If Scarface didn’t watch himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of them stayed quiet. No matter how they calculated it, it shouldn’t affect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they decided to mind their own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, look on the bright side.” Suddenly, Lu Ce’s sharp, mocking voice cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he’s just not coming back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces twisted. This pink-masked bastard rubbed them all the wrong way on instinct—but with the strength he’d shown earlier, no one dared to talk back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d all been in this cell for a long time, dodging the fate of being “fed” through every trick in the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they had no idea how to deal with this new guy. Best not to stir anything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, none of them took Lu Ce’s comment seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After throwing out that jab, Lu Ce shut up. He had no intention of talking to corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were all going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, as the minutes ticked by...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarface never came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even after yard time ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared grimly at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they were pissed—Lu Ce had eaten up all their time. The old man had even looked a little better at that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Scarface still hadn’t returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the h*ll happened out there? After all the hiding they’d done in this cell, they lost two guys in one day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned cold and fearful as they stared at the pink mask lying motionless on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And soon, Lu Ce would find out why these guys were so desperate for yard time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what kind of punishment this prison really had in store.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","f775685cf7c6b562cb3e54296398dff59241bb6fcec85bea68b4f80ca1f4778d","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-237","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-235",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
