The two men who were called out showed no fear upon hearing that they were being called, and walked over side by side. As soon as they moved, the entire gang followed suit. Although they were a few steps behind, it was still a large and impressive procession.

Henry was worried about things getting chaotic, so he wasn't afraid of anything and took the initiative to go forward.

The guy who had previously hooked his arm around him didn't bother to stand with him. Instead, he warned from behind, "Young man,"

You'd better have your flattery lines ready, or you'll be in for more than just a sore backside today. You'll be in for a lot of trouble.

Such advice is quite rare in a prison environment. However, Henry did not respond directly; what he was about to do was not so gentle, and it was best to avoid getting involved with others, lest it harm them.

Ivan Kochetov, one of the two, was also a large man, and he seemed to have an even stronger urge to sample the young, handsome man than his companion.

So he took the initiative to extend his large, fan-like hand, trying to grab the person in his grasp.

Perhaps it was the way Henry's neck was grabbed earlier that made others think he was easy to bully.

Ivan Kochetov wanted to do the same thing, to hook up with someone and flirt with them. This wasn't some kind of male-on-male affair; in a place like prison, a clean-cut young man like him was considered a woman.

Henry didn't want to kill someone in front of everyone; that would make him too conspicuous. So, as the two approached, he threw a punch, neither too hard nor too soft.

This punch didn't knock the person to the ground; it only slightly tilted their face, conveying a strong sense of provocation.

Ivan Kochetov, who had spent several years in prison, was certainly not a coward who would never fight back. This kind of coward wouldn't just become everyone's punching bag and be bullied everywhere; they would die quickly and easily!

So he angrily retaliated with a punch, sending the frail Kryptonian staggering back a few steps.

This round of combat immediately revealed the winner. No one believed that Ivan, who had been there for several years, would lose to a newbie. They all cheered and jeering from the sidelines.

Henry, like a reckless young man, pressed on and charged forward. This time, it wasn't a simple punch; like a young man who didn't know how to fight, he charged headlong into his opponent, knocking him back several steps until he fell into his own group.

This immediately caused the group to erupt like cold water poured into a hot oil pan. Everyone, including Yuri Kuznozov, started beating up the clueless newbie.

Henry clutched his head as he was surrounded and beaten by a group of people. Occasionally, he would manage to shove someone outwards, knocking them down or pushing them away.

All of this seemed like a death throes.

However, every time Henry pushed someone, it was meticulously planned. He would push the person into the crowd of onlookers, and it had to be someone who clearly looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Sure enough, these people weren't content with just watching the show. Or perhaps it was Ivan and Yuri's group, whose mouths weren't exactly clean either. Even though they bumped into someone, they still had to hurl insults at them.

Finally, this unlucky guy ran into a hot-tempered opponent who grabbed the guy who was about to continue ganging up on the newbie, turned him around, and punched him right in the face!

This punch seemed to foreshadow an escalation of the situation. The people Henry pushed out were no longer being pushed back into the fighting circle by the onlookers; instead, a new battlefield was being opened, with those pushed and knocked down wrestling together.

One by one, in groups, with Henry, the guy who was mostly beaten up, fanning the flames, the entire exercise area descended into chaos. Fights were happening everywhere, and people didn't even need to start fires themselves.

Some were bumped into or bumped into, and the resulting fight broke out out of resentment. Others were settling old scores or new grudges, intending to take this opportunity to settle things. Still others planned to use this chance to eliminate their rivals' henchmen and seize territory within the prison grounds amidst the chaos.

Even the burly man who had previously shown considerable kindness was drawn into the chaotic fight. No one was exempt.

Although it wasn't Henry's intention, the bear-like man was incredibly skilled in combat, and he didn't hold back. Soon, they became the focus of the fight, the center of the storm.

Anyone who gets close to him will be blasted away from the battle line, like being in an airplane. This ability convinced Henry that this man was no ordinary person.

However, Henry was only wary of the other party obstructing him. If the other party also wanted to fight and cause trouble, then it was none of his business.

The prison guards in charge, however, tacitly agreed not to intervene immediately. Instead, they acted as if they hadn't seen anything.

Let these prisoners kill each other first to expend their energy.

If they intervene later, things will be much easier to handle. By then, even if no one is injured, they'll be exhausted from fighting. As for prisoners fighting each other to death, what's the big deal?

Henry, the instigator, was still covering his head, taking the beatings like a punching bag. However, there weren't as many people ganging up on him as before; many were pushed out by him and ended up fighting with others.

Only Ivan Kochetov and Yuri Kuznozov were kept under control and not allowed to leave. They themselves didn't even feel like they were being controlled.

Seeing that the time was ripe, and seizing the opportunity, Henry rammed headfirst into Ivan Kochetov's arms. This time, he knocked the man down hard, rolling alongside him, instead of pushing him away or shoving him aside.

He tackled the opponent to the ground entirely to conceal his use of the Flash move, the Molecular-Penetrating Hand Blade, which, without causing external injury, directly destroys the opponent's heart!

He then whispered in the other person's ear, "Ennu No Odin sends his greetings!"

His heart was damaged, so he didn't lose consciousness or die immediately. But the excruciating pain rendered Ivan Kochetov unable to do anything or speak.

He just stared wide-eyed as Henry scrambled off him and continued to be beaten by the others. He himself was unable to stand up until his consciousness faded and his genitals swelled.

Unlike the one-sided beating Henry experienced, the beatings elsewhere were genuine, even bordering on violent. Many people had already been knocked to the ground; some were lucky enough to struggle, while others were simply knocked unconscious or even stopped breathing.

So it's not surprising that someone like Ivan Kochetov would fall down and be unable to get back up, and naturally no one would care.

Even Yuri Kuznozov, who was imprisoned with Ivan, didn't realize something was wrong; instead, he fought even more fiercely, as if he wanted to avenge his friend.

Henry pushed one or two more people away. Some started new battles, while others returned to the fighting circle.

Noticing that the Russian prison guards were about to make a move, Henry resorted to his usual tactic, sending away Yuri Kuznozov, his "to-do item." He, who had been unilaterally beaten, was finally knocked to the ground and stomped on relentlessly.

Henry, as if utterly exhausted, curled up on the ground, clutching his head. He no longer struggled to his feet to continue resisting.
