There were four small silver cities and one large silver city floating in the north of the western continent. They were collectively known as the “Five Northern Cities”, guarding the territory of the world’s largest noble, Modleton.

One of the largest Silver Cities, Silver City No.2, Dragon City, was located in the northernmost part of the continent. It was the capital of the Mordleton Clan. In the northeast of her, about 800 nautical miles away, there was a half-moon-shaped island. Looking down from the sky, there was a large ancient castle built on the island. From the severely weathered stone wall, it was not difficult to see the traces of a thousand years.

This was the world-famous “Deepwater Prison”. Long before the ancient nuclear war, there were a large number of prisoners who were extremely dangerous but could not be executed immediately. From a certain perspective, being imprisoned in the Deepwater Prison was also a symbol of status. If it was an ordinary criminal, he would have been executed long ago.

Looking around, the entire Deepwater Prison was built by the mountains, occupying more than half of the island. Rows of small iron windows were embedded in the mottled stone wall, like a black reef filled with holes. If one went deeper into the castle, one would discover that the castle consisted of 13 floors, 7 floors on the ground and 6 floors on the underground. The deepest layer of the earth was the notorious Deepwater Hell.

Deepwater Hell was close to the Atlantic Ocean’s sea level. At high tide, the water level was more than two meters high, and at low tide, it was half a meter high. This place was filled with water all year round, and it emitted a rotten smell everywhere. The only things that entered his eyes were corpses that were swollen and pale by the sea water, or thick white bones.

Once locked up here, it means death. Prison guards generally do not enter this floor. They put food into inflatable plastic bags every day and push it along the water. After living here for a long time, their bodies will slowly rot until they die, and their corpses will not be carried away. They will remain here as part of the Deepwater Hell.

Although there were only a thousand prisoners in Sham Shui Po Prison, there were nearly 10,000 guards stationed there, and three Saint Rankers took turns to guard them. It was almost impossible to escape here. It is said that only three successful prison escapes have been recorded in the past thousand years.

That morning, large numbers of prisoners in gray prison uniforms, under the watchful eyes of the prison guards, poured into the open space in the middle of the castle, and then gathered in twos and threes, chatting in low voices, enjoying the rare sunshine.

“The weather today is not bad.” “How long has it been since we went out? I feel like I’ve almost forgotten what sunshine is.” “Ah, it’s good to be able to come out.” “Looks like the Warden is in a good mood today. I wonder if dinner will be served.” The three sturdy men crossed their chests in a circle and whispered in each other’s ears.

“Kuangkuang … Kuangkuang …”

Suddenly, a heavy sound of shackles came from outside the barbed wire fence. Looking at the sound, dozens of prison guards walked past the passageway on the side of the open space. Amongst them was a young man in heavy shackles, in his early twenties. His face was somewhat pale, and his footsteps were somewhat feeble, appearing very weak.

When they saw the young man, one of the strong men whistled and shouted, “A rookie is coming. Everyone, quickly go welcome him.” With that, he quickly rushed to the edge of the open space, slapped the barbed wire and shouted at the young man, “Rookie, rookie!”

The young man lowered his head as if he hadn’t heard his roar.

“Rookie, I will tear open your organs!” The sturdy man threatened loudly.

The young man remained indifferent as he lowered his head and slowly walked forward.

Another strong man stepped forward and mocked, “I’m not afraid of you, baseball mallet.”

“Rookie, when you come in, I will make you regret it.” The sturdy man shook the barbed wire and shouted loudly.

At this moment, the young man turned his head and looked over. Although his face was incomparably pale, his gaze was like a razor. The instant he swept past, the burly man unconsciously felt goosebumps all over his body, as if his scalp had been scratched by a sharp blade. For a moment, the two closest strong men stopped breathing and watched as the other party passed without making a sound, as if they didn’t even dare to breathe a mouthful of air.

“Mallets, you’re in trouble.” Another sturdy man gloated as he looked at the young man’s back.

“It’s just a pretty boy” The muscular man nicknamed “Bamboo Hammer” said firmly, but the cold sweat on his forehead had completely betrayed his heart. The people who could serve their sentences here were not simple, and they could tell at a glance that the other party was a vicious character who could kill people like a hairpin. If this kind of person didn’t make a move, he would lose his life in a single move.

After passing through the rectangular clearing in the middle of the castle, the guards brought the young man to a cell in the East Tower.

“Creak … creak …”

Two robust prison guards struggled to twist the valve on the iron door. With a sharp sound of metal friction, the thick iron door opened inwards with a “clang” sound. Looking inside, the space inside was very small, rectangular, only a few square meters. There was a bed, a small desk, and a toilet.

“Let’s go in. If you need anything, you can call us.” As soon as he finished speaking, the leading prison guard pushed the young man into the cell. Afterwards, two robust prison guards joined forces to close the iron door.

“Clang!”

The sound of leather boots knocking on the concrete floor gradually faded away, and the surroundings gradually returned to peace. “Hehe … Hehe … Hehe … Hehe … Hehe …” The sound of leather boots knocking on the concrete floor gradually disappeared. Tie Zha sat down on the edge of the bed with heavy shackles. He had just woken up from the hospital and was still in a daze when he was escorted here. He had completely forgotten what had happened during this period. The last scene in his memory was that of strands of silver hair floating in the wind.

“Cough cough cough …”

When everyone left, he couldn’t help but cough. Every time he coughed, it was very strenuous, but he couldn’t cough anything out. At the same time, his chest tightened, and a burst of intense pain came from him. He curled up his body, his voice vague and blurry, as if something was blocking his trachea.

That merciless shot not only pierced through his chest, but also shattered his heart. The pain in his body was far inferior to the loss in his soul. He only felt that his mind was blank and hard to think about.

At the same time, in the highest office of the Sham Shui Po Prison, the gray-bearded Warden and three sturdy old men were sitting around a small round table, staring blankly at a piece of paper on the table. The three old men’s faces were rosy, and their bearing was extraordinary. Just sitting there, they had an aura of self-prestige.

The warden’s small round glasses reflected the contents of the document. There were only two sentences on it:

“Don’t let him live too well.”

“But if he dies in an accident, you can wait to be buried with him.”

After a long moment of silence, the Warden raised his head and looked left and right, saying, “My three old friends, this is what happened. If you have any ideas, please tell me.”

The three Saint-ranked elders gradually regained their senses. They looked at each other and didn’t say anything. They only shook their heads, pondered or sighed.

The Warden said with a worried expression, “You guys should make a decision.”

“This …” “Mm …” “Sigh …” The three of them stared at each other with wide eyes, not expressing their stance.

“Is this a world war? Is it so hard to decide?” The Warden asked with a frown.

Just as the four of them were frowning in the castle office, a tall, straight, brown-haired, blue-eyed young man wearing a white suit casually crossed his legs, hooked up a glass of red wine, and listened to his subordinates’ report in the study of a luxurious mansion next to Mordleton, located in Black Winged City, one of the five cities in the north of the western continent.

“Master, the target has been sent to the Sham Shui Po Prison.” A skinny man with a hooked nose and a cold gaze said.

“When did this happen?” The young man asked. His name was Quentin Mordleton. He was the second in line to succeed the Mordleton Clan’s Black Wing Branch. He was 28 years old this year. At that time, he was the captain of the seventh independent brigade of the Third Army of the Dawn Expeditionary Army. He held the rank of Major General. He was a typical noble and young officer.

“Thirty-two minutes ago.” The man replied.

“Arrange for someone to take care of him.” Quentin said.

“You mean” The man wiped his neck.

Quentin did not answer. He only shook the red wine in his glass with a thoughtful expression. The man didn’t dare to ask further, and maintained a bowed posture, waiting for his master’s instructions.

In the silence, Quentin’s expression suddenly changed. He swung his arm and smashed a cup on the man’s head. Suddenly, there was a “pong” sound, causing the man’s head to be covered in bright red liquid. It was unknown whether it was wine syrup or blood.

“Trash!” His face revealed a ferocious expression as he shouted and cursed loudly. At the same time, he kicked the man in the chest and sent him flying a few meters away.

“This subordinate understands.” The man immediately got up, bowed and said, then left the study.

After a while, Quentin’s emotions gradually calmed down, but the expression on his face became even more gloomy, just like the cloudy sky on the eve of a storm. He poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then shouted loudly, smashing the entire bottle of Sea Demon Red Wine fiercely onto the ground, causing blood-red wine slurry to spray everywhere.

“She’s mine, she’s mine!” Quentin roared as he overthrew the wine cabinet, like a wild beast that had lost control. In an instant, an invisible force spread out from his body, and the furniture around him began to shake violently. For many years, he had been secretly in love with the third young miss of the Lombardi family, but he never dared to take a step forward. But now, she had fallen in love with a lowly ground person, which made him so jealous that he almost went crazy.

Since she could fall in love with someone else, she could also fall in love with him!

About two hours later, in the kitchen of Sham Shui Po Prison, an instructed chef secretly poured a bottle of colourless and odourless poison into a meal and had the guards deliver it. Not long after, the guard arrived in front of a single cell and knocked on the heavy metal door.

“Hey, let’s eat!” As the guard shouted, he opened the small window at the bottom of the metal door and pushed the food inside.
