Heroes' Prison

Chapter 757 - 722 Zhang Yujian

"Yeah, you guys should try signing up!" Huang Yi took the opportunity to stir things up.

Yue Yue and Haitang exchanged glances, also finding it somewhat unbelievable, but eventually they nodded and said, "Well then, let’s give it a try!"

Hearing this, Huang Yi finally felt relieved; the bidding event specially prepared for them could finally come to an end.

With that, the group went to the office of Demons in the World under Ying Lin’s command and registered as a small team, with Yue Yue as the team leader. In addition to the five of them, the team also included Sleepy, who hadn’t logged on, making up a total of six people.

However, the girls didn’t take the bidding seriously. After registering, they stopped paying attention to it, laughing and chatting on their way home before each logging off.

...

World Federation, inside a temporary detention center.

In a gloomy room, a lean man with handcuffs sat with his eyes closed, as if waiting for something. He had handsome features, but a scar on his face marred his otherwise attractive appearance.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from a distance and made its way down the corridor into the room.

The lean man suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile that twisted the scar on his face into a centipede-like shape.

He stood up and walked straight to the door.

Soon, a few figures dressed like police officers arrived at the door. One of them looked at the lean man and said in Chinese, "Zhang Yujian, we are now going to transfer you to Rose Prison on Pacific Rose Island. Please cooperate."

"Okay," the lean man nodded, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

This lean man was none other than Zhang Yujian, whom Huang Yi and the Thunder God had been waiting for a long time!

He was once the Ace of Hearts in the World Federation’s Poker Card Warrant, a very significant figure. However, what the World Federation didn’t know was that he was actually a man of Ni Dongde, the ace wanted criminal. Not long ago, Ni Dongde sought out Huang Yi wanting to cooperate, deliberately having Zhang Yujian surrender to get him sent to Rose Prison, thereby strengthening the cooperation between the two sides.

Zhang Yujian once built an armed force in Southeast Asia to openly resist the World Federation, but the Federation could not completely eliminate this armed force. Like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed, and since he also had the surname Zhang, many people simply gave him the nickname Roach.

Due to his crimes against the World Federation, surrendering meant he was certainly going to be sentenced to life imprisonment. And there was only one prison for life imprisonment in the whole world, which was Rose Prison. It’s a global prison, managed jointly by the World Federation and various major countries. All criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, no matter where they were from, eventually ended up there. So, Zhang Yujian’s surrender meant he could definitely meet up with Huang Yi and the Thunder God.

These days, he had been going through the trial procedures until recently when he finally finished. As expected, the World Federation court sentenced him to be locked up in Rose Prison, just as Ni Dongde had initially anticipated.

The police quickly opened the iron door to the room, escorted Zhang Yujian outside to a clearing, and boarded a helicopter that had been ready for a while, flying swiftly toward Rose Island in the Pacific.

...

Gradually, a night passed.

It was summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the sun rose very early. The golden morning sun shone into Huang Yi’s cell, accompanied by the salty sea breeze, waking him up from his sleep.

He had been living a very peaceful and idle life in the state of Reincarnation, getting plenty of sleep each day.

He stretched, got up, came to the window and gazed at the outside world.

Suddenly, his sharp eyes spotted a small black dot approaching from a distance. Only when it came closer did he realize it was a helicopter.

"Hmm? Today isn’t the day for supply deliveries, so what could it be?" Huang Yi’s deep gaze stayed fixed on the helicopter, speculating in his mind.

Rose Prison was located on a Rose Island in the Pacific Ocean, and other than wild roses, there was almost nothing else. Many supplies had to be airlifted in from outside, but today wasn’t a day for delivery, so there shouldn’t have been any helicopters arriving.

Huang Yi didn’t think much of it and immediately washed up, then called Thunder God to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The two of them picked up their breakfasts and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"Ah-Yi! I heard you fell out with Desire Arises from the Heart yesterday?" Thunder God scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blowing on it as he asked.

Huang Yi nodded with regret, "Yes! Desire Arises from the Heart and we aren’t on the same path, there’s no room for easing tensions."

Thunder God put down his spoon, his gaze distant as he looked out the window and analyzed, "Looking at the current situation, Desire Arises from the Heart is bound to lose. Although there are many players from Hero’s Continent, the area is vast and the people scattered. At times like these, it all depends on the commanding ability of the overall commander, and unfortunately, we’re stuck with a useless commander like Desire Arises from the Heart. Now, the situation is like World War II, with China being so large and populated, yet it was beaten senseless by small Japan. Having a larger number doesn’t necessarily help, what matters is how you fight."

"Do you have any thoughts?" Huang Yi looked up at Thunder God.

"I have thoughts, but it’s tough!" Thunder God shook his head with a solemn expression, "If I were the overall commander, it would still take a long time to win this national war. Desire Arises from the Heart didn’t defeat the first wave of enemies, leading to more and more onlookers joining the invasion, plunging Hero’s Continent into a prolonged war, and losing the best opportunity to fight. On the enemy’s side, there are already 8 super-first masters, while at most we have 6 on Hero’s Continent. Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, and Dragon Spike haven’t shown up, and with you undergoing Reincarnation, that leaves just one Gentleman still with Desire Arises from the Heart without allying with me, making it even more impossible to fight."

Speaking of which, Thunder God summarized, "To win this national war, it’s not just about the efforts of regular players, but more importantly, all the super-first masters of Hero’s Continent need to be united! Otherwise, even if you had the strength from before Reincarnation, it wouldn’t help because you are just one person. Now Hero’s Continent is facing wars everywhere, with battles flaring up, and you can’t be in two places at once, you simply can’t cover it all."

"Unite all the super-first masters..." Huang Yi pondered, considering the feasibility of this approach. In a while, he would be creating an army, and pulling all the super-first masters of Hero’s Continent into it wouldn’t be easy.

"I’ve got some good news for you, Zhang Yujian has arrived! He’s been assigned to cell 2101." Just then, one of the prison overlords, Wang Jin, suddenly came over, speaking in a low voice with a slight hint of excitement. Their collaboration with Ni Dongde was something only a select few important figures in Rose Prison were aware of, and Wang Jin was one of them.

"Where is he?" Thunder God perked up immediately, stopping to ask concernedly.

"That one there!" Wang Jin pointed towards a distant dining table.

At the direction Wang Jin was pointing to, a lean man was holding a fried dough stick, eating while heading back toward the cells, and not lingering in the cafeteria.

"Ah-Yi, let’s go to his cell for a visit after this," said Thunder God as he hastened the pace of his breakfast.

Soon, the two quickly finished their breakfast and hurriedly left the cafeteria to go to Zhang Yujian’s cell.

When they arrived outside the cell, Zhang Yujian was tidying up his bedding, his expression indifferent.

He seemed to be unconcerned about the life imprisonment ahead of him. People like him possessed unwavering faith and would do anything to topple the World Federation, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

"Stop messing with that, the cell is too shabby, there’s not even a window. I’ll arrange a better cell for you," Thunder God stood outside the cell door, calling in directly with a generous tone as if he owned the prison.

Zhang Yujian turned to look at Huang Yi and Thunder God, his scarred face twisting into a smile as he walked over, opened the cell door, and said, "Turns out it’s the legendary Thunder God and God of Slaughter. Come in!"

"How did you manage to find out our identities?" Huang Yi got straight to the point. When Ni Dongde found them, he had easily identified him and Thunder God, a mystery that lingered in his mind ever since.

"Because of the World Federation." Zhang Yujian seemed intentionally keen on showing off their capabilities, revealing some secrets, "We have planted undercover agents within the World Federation. Not long ago, the World Federation discovered your identities, and that intelligence also came to our knowledge. Honestly, the World Federation didn’t pay much attention to the forces of The Second World before, but ever since God of Slaughter, you nearly decimated the Martial Arts Guild, they finally started paying attention to you and found out your identities."

"It was inevitable. We had already grown to a point in The Second World where we could threaten the World Federation. Even without the incident on the Land of Dongying, it was only a matter of time before the World Federation would set their sights on us," Thunder God shrugged, an outcome he and others had foreseen when the Sun Guild and Hero Guild went public.

Zhang Yujian nodded, "That’s right! Your Sun Guild and Hero Guild have grown too powerful. We’ve tallied that just the publicly known branches of your guilds across continents total up to over one hundred eighty, and there must be more hidden forces, right?"

Huang Yi and Thunder God exchanged glances without saying much. If one counted the spread of Rose Prison’s influence around the world and added the influence of Huang Yi’s backing organization, that would far surpass anything the Hero Guild or Sun Guild could compare to. Once those powers united, they could shock the entire world!

At that moment, Ni Dongde looked at Huang Yi and said, "God of Slaughter, just your Heroism Religion now has over a hundred million believers, and it will only grow more in the future. The two of you have too many people tangled up in your power, and if you were to fall, countless companies would go bankrupt, countless people would become unemployed. Some have bought your stocks, some trade with you, some undertake your projects, and there are those who are small leaders under your power, drawing a monthly salary for their work. They all live under your shadow, and without you, they would be nothing. And if we account for your charisma, it’s incalculable. Ni Dongde saw exactly what you are capable of in The Second World and that’s why he sent me to cooperate with you in person." (To be continued.
