Chapter 31



Xizel had already saved the file when he went to look for Xia Zuo, so he didn't worry about his personal safety at all.

The black-haired boy came to the conference room in the west building alone. His expression was extremely calm from beginning to end. Even when he saw that he was the only one in the conference room, he did not hesitate at all, but directly found a seat and sat down.

"This kid is interesting."

In the observation room on the other side of the wall, the blond man flipped through the documents in his hand. "It's not quite what I imagined. You know, based on what's written on these few pieces of paper, I really can't help but doubt Wilson's choice."

But now it seems... he still has some skills.

As the No. 1 administrator of the prisoners and staff in A Block of the Central Jail, the man had long since learned not to judge someone by their appearance.

Although Xizel is young and looks frail, his temperament at least makes people feel less out of place when they think of his supervisory role.

"Let's go and meet him."

When César saw that the conference room was still empty when the time came, he understood the real purpose of this so-called "meeting".

I just wanted to test his bottom line.

It's the same principle as installing a camera in his room, only this time it's more explicit.

Sure enough, a moment later, a blond man opened the door and walked in, saying with a smile: "You must be the new supervisor, César. Hello, I am Gary, the number one administrator of Area A. Kevin is also a guard under my management."

Xizel nodded and smiled politely: "Hello."

Gary found a random seat and sat down: "Don't be nervous. We're just chatting."

"Your identity is quite special. There are only four people in our prison, including you. As you know, the loss rate of supervision is always very high."

“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”

The black-haired boy's smiling expression did not fluctuate at all.

Gary raised his eyebrows secretly and continued, "I have already seen your information. You are the supervisor of the critical prisoner Xia Zuo Kaili. You were transferred here from the Level 2 Prison in the Gray Moon District with him."

"But the question is...how do I know if you have the ability to supervise dangerous prisoners and serve the Federation?"

The black-haired boy raised the corners of his lips, smiling with impeccable skill: "If I am not dead here in a month, you will naturally know whether I have this ability."

"...Then I'll wait and see."

The calmness in Gary's words faded a little, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes as he looked at César.

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to propose a comprehensive test of Xizel's abilities, and at the same time take the opportunity to make things difficult for him and win him over. Unexpectedly, this kid seemed to have undergone relevant training and did not give up his initiative at all.

"Mr. Administrator asked me to come here alone. There must be something else."

The black-haired boy smiled and said, "Why not just tell it directly? It will save your precious time, right?"

Gary narrowed his eyes, but smiled and said, "I thought the supervisor's personality couldn't be so soft, but it turns out he's a thorn under the skin."

Moreover, he had been carefully observing the other person's expression and found that no matter what he said or how the boy responded, the calmness in his eyes never changed.

It seemed as if nothing could make him stop or pause.

Gary felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

Of course, his purpose in coming to see Xizel was not just to get to know him.

He was aiming at Xia Zuo Kaili.

But no matter how much he coveted Kaili, this fresh fighting force, the critical prisoners who were promoted from the second-level prison - it was said that they caused so much trouble that they almost blew up the entire prison - were too uncontrollable and dangerous.

If you want to contact him, for safety reasons, you should start with someone who is close to him and easy for you to approach.

That person is undoubtedly César.

Although he is Kairi's supervisor, judging from Kairi's performance, it is obvious that he not only has no ill feelings towards him, but also treats him as his friend.

That's why Gary approached Cesar first.

"I'm afraid your target is not me, but Xia Zuo."

While he was thinking to himself, the voice of the black-haired boy in front of him rang out with a smile.

"Or, I should be more precise - Xia Zuo, who may survive the hands of 'Master Mai' in the future, or even fight against him and come out on top."

Gary's pupils shrank slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be in need of a new leader-like prisoner, right?" Xizel said softly, "After all, this is the central prison. It's said to be fair and just... but in fact, your influence among the prisoners is getting less and less than that of others. Even as an administrator, it's a dangerous thing, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Gary's expression and demeanor were completely different from when he first entered the conference room.

Even though he knew in his heart that this was true, he couldn't help but feel a little angry when it was exposed so ruthlessly by someone he had just met. At the same time, he began to doubt whether the young man in front of him had planned it.

Otherwise, how could he, a prison guard who had just entered the prison, know so much?

"...I've read Xia Zuo Kaili's information." Gary sneered, "He can fight a hundred people with his physical body. I really admire him. But don't forget, in this prison, without anyone to protect him, how long can he live peacefully?"

"Don't expect the people behind McCann to take a fancy to him. With McCann's personality, he will never allow the existence of someone who can challenge his position."

Xizel blinked and chuckled, "So, did you protect those critically ill prisoners ahead?"

Gary's face darkened.

The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes as he hit the pain point accurately.

——Sorry, it’s a seller’s market now.

"Since you really want to cooperate," he casually changed the original subordinate relationship into a cooperative relationship, "it's not impossible for us to fight against prisoners like McKen for you."

The black-haired boy smiled innocently:

"But there are conditions."

"Even if you don't cooperate with me, you will still be targeted by McCann." Gary said coldly.

"No, you are wrong, Mr. Administrator." The black-haired boy raised his eyes, his blue eyes were hazy and carried a hint of cold calmness:

"After all, there is a slight difference between allowing him to coexist peacefully with us and preventing him from appearing in front of us again."

For some reason, Gary felt a chill for the first time in a long time.

The tone of this Xizel's speech was as if he was discussing how to deal with insignificant garbage.

Xizel continued to talk to himself: "First, I need sufficient permissions. Of course - it's just permissions. You don't need to consider whether I can use it smoothly or my subsequent safety issues."

"Second, I want the highest level of immunity from punishment."

He sighed, "After all, it's too insecure to fight in a heavily guarded prison with enemies and even high-ranking officials to deal with."

Gary's brows jumped.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you."

In fact, agreeing to these two conditions was already the limit of his patience.

If it was just an accident, it would be fine. But if even this was planned by the young man in front of me...

He couldn't imagine.

"Every afternoon during the exercise time, at least one of the prisoners, led by Macken, will show up. Show me your strength. Is that not too much to ask?"

Gary didn't notice that the person he was subconsciously working with had changed from two people to just Cesar.

"As you wish."

That afternoon, after lunch break, the prisoners in Area A gathered in the large courtyard as the whistle blew.

This was the only diversion in the boring prison life, and most of the prisoners were very excited.

Besides, there was clearly something fun to watch this afternoon.

"The leopard was released? He must have gone crazy in the confinement room..."

Hearing this, the sturdy man with a scar on his face glanced over.

Seeing that man fell silent in fear, he turned his gaze to the brown-haired boy who walked into the courtyard.

"I heard that you are good at fighting?"

The man jumped up to close the distance, slowly walked to a place not far in front of Xia Zuo, and showed a sinister smile.

"I just happen to be in need of a trainer... Come and give it a try!"

Without waiting for Xia Zuo to respond, he rushed over suddenly. It was obvious that he had already calculated the distance of the charge when he walked over.

Xia Zuo reacted very quickly and raised his arm, instantly blocking the fist coming from the opposite side. At the same time, he clenched his other hand into a fist and hit the man's eyes hard.

However, the man dodged this attack that seemed unavoidable to anyone.

Xia Zuo's eyes darkened, and he made a quick decision and exerted force suddenly, doing an over-the-shoulder throw. He didn't expect to cause any damage, but just to create distance.

The opponent's speed just now was really weird.

His intuition told him that he was in danger at that moment.

"His talent lies in speed." Ursula's voice suddenly sounded: "Cesare said that his nickname is "Cheetah"."

Xia Zuo looked in a certain direction as if he had sensed something, and sure enough, he saw the black-haired boy who had appeared here at some point and seemed to have no sense of existence.

However, the moment he saw it, the cheetah also caught it.

He laughed, "Is this your supervision? I'll help you kill him, no need to thank me!"

The next second, he rushed towards Xizel.

“Xize!” Xia Zuo’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the murderous aura on his body surged several times. He chased after him at the fastest speed, and his speed was even close to matching that of the cheetah.

However, this is not his specialty after all.

In just a blink of an eye, the cheetah jumped in front of the black-haired boy, with its hands in the shape of claws, pressing down hard on his head from top to bottom.

Cheetah was confident that he could smash the opponent's head with just this one blow.

However, the moment he passed by, the black-haired boy moved.

He just slightly turned sideways, and perfectly rubbed the edge of injury and dodged the attack in a joking manner. At the same time, he raised his hand carelessly and brushed against the man's throbbing arm.

“Sizzle——”

Bright red blood beads instantly scattered in the air.

The prisoners watching screamed excitedly, thinking that the weak black-haired boy was scratched by the cheetah's sharp nails and bleeding. However, when they really saw it clearly, the scream was stuck in their throats.

—It’s not juvenile supervision that’s bleeding.

——And on the arm where the cheetah had just attacked, a long, thin knife wound oozing blood appeared.
