Screeech~
The tires let out a harsh squeal against the ground.
At Lu Bai's signal, Dao Long brazenly parked the car right in front of the prison's main gate.
"Move along. Parking isn't allowed here."
"What department are you with?"
The two Prison Guards at the gate noticed the unfamiliar black sedan, but only called out to it through a loudspeaker. They didn't come out to chase it away.
That wasn't surprising. After a hard-fought battle against the forces of both Chikan Bay and Weidao High School, the prison had suffered considerable losses.
But its most serious loss had been Warden Xiong Pi.
With the prison's nominal highest authority position vacant, countless casualties, and the dark zones still lingering, the entire prison's operations had nearly ground to a halt.
It was good enough that the guards could show up for their shifts. If anyone expected them to risk doing extra work, they'd have to pay more.
"This is the third time I've been here."
Lu Bai sighed, rolled up the car window, and stepped out.
Wearing his usual genial smile, he strode toward the prison.
Xiong Pi followed close behind. If Lu Bai hadn't firmly told him to keep his distance, he would have been practically glued to him.
"Warden?"
"Isn't that...?"
Even the Prison Guards at the gate weren't so blind that they couldn't recognize their own boss. But why was their boss following behind Lu Bai?
The two guards were stunned and a little uneasy. They didn't dare stop them, and quickly reported the matter up the chain.
The three of them passed through the prison gate without a hitch.
Looking at the traces of battle still unrepaired across the open ground ahead, Dao Long's eyes grew hot. He knew those were the marks left behind by Dao
