Chapter 2335

No one expected that Chloe, who had been domineering in this cell, would so quickly kneel before the newcomer, even going so far as to wag her tail and beg for mercy, saying she was nothing but the other person's dog.

In fact, for someone like Chloe, it is precisely because she usually abuses others too much that she fears being abused by others all the more.

One could even say such people are actually the most spineless: when facing the weak, she is more vicious than anyone, but when facing the strong, she can be more fawning than anyone.

Now Chloe has fully grasped the situation; she knows she has no standing left in this matter, so she no longer dwells on or clings to her former status as boss.

Now she only wants to protect herself as much as possible; her first goal is to avoid offending these three people at all costs, and her second is to find a way to become their confidante.

That way, she can at least continue to oppress the others in the cell.

But the Asian girl in front of her snorted coldly and said, "Sorry, I don't keep dogs, and even if I did, I wouldn't keep a trash dog like you!"

Upon hearing this, Chloe's face instantly turned pale, and she grew extremely nervous.

Having already lowered her dignity so much, begging for forgiveness only to be so bluntly rejected—this was certainly not a good omen for her.

She hurriedly placed her severed hand over her heart and said with utmost sincerity: "If you doubt Chloe's loyalty, Chloe swears before God that in this life and the next, I will willingly obey all your commands; if I break this oath, may I willingly accept God's punishment!"

The girl coldly replied, "Sorry, I'm an atheist—I don't believe in God."

Upon hearing this, Chloe quickly said, "In any case, as long as you believe in Chloe's sincerity, I will from now on follow every one of your instructions..."

"Oh." The young girl smiled and said, "Isn't this just going back to what we were talking about earlier? I already told you—I don't want to keep a dog."

Chloe was instantly torn; she very much wanted to curry favor with this young, capable Asian girl, but the girl was like a bronze wall and iron wall, leaving Chloe no opening at all.

Just as Chloe didn't know what to do, Ma Lan suddenly had an idea and rushed forward, saying, "Miss! You've just arrived here, so you surely need someone who understands this place to help you handle various matters."

As she spoke, she patted her own chest and said earnestly, "Miss, if you don't dislike me, take a look at me."

The Chinese girl who had been serving as Chloe's Chinese translator, upon seeing Ma Lan volunteer, immediately spoke up: "Don't believe her—she only just entered this cell yesterday, whereas I've been here for over half a year, so I know this place much better! If you need to learn about this place or need someone to assist you, I'm the most suitable!"

The young girl glanced at her, smirked contemptuously, and said in a cold voice: "I don't want to know who you all are, I don't want to learn about each of your situations, and I certainly don't want to know what rules used to exist here! In short, from now on, there is only one rule here: if anyone here displeases me, I will beat them to death, and keep beating until I am satisfied!"

Upon seeing the other speak so firmly, the girl instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, lowered her head honestly, and dared not speak.

Ma Lan also felt a bit disappointed; she had wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the other, but never expected the other to look down on everyone so completely.

But she could also understand, after all, the other's strength far surpasses theirs—lecturing someone is as easy as lecturing a dog, and if she had such strength, she wouldn't look at others either.

What Ma Lan didn't expect, however, was that the Asian girl, upon looking at her, smiled very kindly and then said seriously: "Auntie, among all those people just now, only you kindly reminded us—it's clear you're a good person, and since we're all compatriots, since you've shown us respect of one chi, we naturally will return it with one zhang!"

As she spoke, she scanned the room, pointed to the people in the cell, and said to Ma Lan: "From now on, all this trash will be handed over to you to manage; you can issue any orders directly, and if they dare to defy you, I will surely give them a proper life lesson!"

Ma Lan was stunned—this was the first time anyone had called her a good person, but what truly shocked her wasn't that, but that the other actually wanted her to manage this trash!

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss... you... what did you just say? You said these people are all to be managed by me?!"

"Yes." The girl smiled faintly and said: "From now on, you will treat them as your own dogs; if that dog disobeys or dares to bare its fangs at you, just tell me, and I will knock out all its teeth; if pulling the teeth out still isn't enough, I will break its hands and feet!"

After hearing this, Ma Lan's whole body trembled with excitement.

She pointed at Chloe, kneeling on the ground, and asked hesitantly: "Miss... if I want to beat this red-haired foreign devil... you... you won't stop me, will you?"

"Stop you?" The girl smiled slightly, raised her hand, and delivered a hard slap to Chloe's face, sending the whole person reeling backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

That slap left Chloe seeing stars, intense pain making her wronged tears instantly spill over.

However, this Asian girl showed no pity whatsoever; she walked forward, stepped on Chloe's chest with one foot, pointed at Chloe, and said to Ma Lan: "Auntie, if you want to beat this lowlife, you may do so anytime, 24/7—I've disliked this lowlife since I first arrived, originally thinking we could just stay out of each other's way, but I never expected her to actively provoke me; provoking me is one thing, but she even dared to ask me to buy her cigarettes—I think she deserves a beating!"

As she spoke, she raised her other hand and delivered another hard slap to Chloe's face, coldly saying: "What did you just say? Was it asking my family, out there, to find your designated person and buy you American spirits?"

"No, no... I didn't mean it that way..." Chloe, at this point, regretted it so much her intestines felt green—if she had known this would happen, even if beaten to death, she wouldn't have provoked this frail girl.

And now, she couldn't even care about the explosive pain in her face; she hurriedly shook her head, saying in a timid voice: "I was just joking—you really mustn't take it seriously..."

The Asian girl ignored her, turned to Ma Lan, and asked: "Auntie, you don't want to hit her? Why aren't you moving? Could it be that you've gone soft?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan felt as if a cat had been stepped on its tail—her whole body exploded, and she shouted excitedly: "What? I've gone soft?! I damn well couldn't go soft on anyone, let alone this American slut!"

After speaking, she spat a mouthful of saliva into her palm: "Ptooey!"

Immediately, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and snarled: "Damn it! If I don't kill this bastard today, I swear I won't be a Ma anymore!"
