Youdu Prison.

This prison holds the most vicious criminals in the world, each notorious for their countless crimes.

There are spies who have stolen national secrets, assassins who have killed presidents, and warlords who have massacred tens of thousands of prisoners...

Qi Dengxian, dressed in a prison guard uniform, was in his father's study, writing with steady and powerful strokes.

"Second Boss, something's happened. Killing God and Greedy Wolf are fighting..." A prison guard stumbled in, speaking in terror.

Qi Dengxian responded with a simple "Oh," casually tossed a piece of calligraphy to him, and said, "Take my writing to them, tell them to clean the toilets for three days. If they don't listen, say I'll dunk their heads in the toilet again."

"Yes, Second Boss!" The guard was momentarily stunned, then quickly grabbed the calligraphy and ran out.

Killing God was a renowned king of assassins, imprisoned for assassinating the American president.

Greedy Wolf was the leader of a massive underground organization, jailed for trafficking nuclear warheads.

"Second Boss, something terrible has happened. The Butcher is causing a ruckus in the cafeteria because he doesn't like the food, and he's injured several brothers!" Another guard rushed in, flustered.

Qi Dengxian raised an eyebrow, tossed another piece of calligraphy to the guard, and said calmly, "Let him wash dishes in the kitchen for a month. If he doesn't comply, I'll personally hang him in the square for three days and nights!"

The guard caught Qi Dengxian's calligraphy and hurried off.

The Butcher, a terrifying warlord who slaughtered over ten thousand prisoners, regarded human life as worthless!

"Second Boss, there's trouble again. The Night Demon, who killed the Snow Country general's family, has gone mad and destroyed our confinement room!"

Qi Dengxian felt a headache coming on, tossed out another piece of calligraphy, and said coldly, "Have him break his own legs and lie in his cell for a month. If he misses a day, I'll throw him into the cesspit for a day!"

The guard dared not delay, grabbed the calligraphy, and rushed out.

Qi Dengxian couldn't help but rub his forehead, cursing, "This little prison is full of troubles. My dad's been gone for three years without a word, leaving me with all this hassle!"

He walked out of the study, checked the time, and went to the playground for his routine inspection.

The prisoners on the playground, upon seeing Qi Dengxian, immediately stood at attention, heads lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Second Boss, Second Boss, smoke, smoke... Can you help me send this letter to my family? I'll give you a billion after it's done; my family has plenty of money!" A tycoon who had trafficked national resources, worth billions, approached with a smile, offering Qi Dengxian a cigarette.

"Good day, Second Boss..." The richest man in Hua Country, guilty of serious monopoly crimes, bowed his head in greeting.

"Good afternoon, Second Boss!" The former head of the American intelligence agency, who sold national secrets, also lowered his head in greeting.

None of the prisoners here were ordinary people; any one of them could shake the world with their reputation.

But at this moment, they all obediently lowered their heads, respectfully addressing Qi Dengxian.

"I'm not in a good mood lately, so I hope you all behave," Qi Dengxian said.

"Uh... yes, yes, yes!" They all froze, then quickly agreed.

Just as Qi Dengxian returned to his office, a guard rushed in, calling out, "Second Boss..."

Qi Dengxian raised an eyebrow, displeased, "What's the matter now?"

"Oh... it's not the prisoners this time. A general has arrived outside to escort a prisoner here, a very beautiful female general," the guard said with a fawning smile.

Qi Dengxian responded with an "Oh."

The guard continued, "This female general specifically asked to see the Second Boss, saying she knows the First Boss!"

Qi Dengxian was taken aback, "Knows my dad? Let's go see..."

Outside the prison, dozens of soldiers stood ready, guarding a cage with a sullen man inside.

"Hehehe, once I get out of here, none of you will survive!" the man threatened ominously.

The surrounding soldiers turned their heads, as if afraid he would remember their faces.

Nearby, a woman with two stars on her shoulder exuded a heroic aura, tall and upright, her every move radiating a sense of briskness.

She was Yu Xiaolong, the eldest daughter of the Yu Family in the Imperial Capital.

Yu Xiaolong coldly watched Qi Dengxian emerge from the prison, wearing his prison guard uniform somewhat casually, lacking any vigor, which was displeasing.

"Are you Qi Dengxian?" Yu Xiaolong asked, her gaze condescending, the two Dragon Stars on her shoulder adding a distinct arrogance.

Qi Dengxian found her gaze somewhat annoying, "Who did you catch?"

"The Terror King, one of the four kings of the underground world, Big Beard. The higher-ups have ordered him to be held here," Yu Xiaolong approached, handing a document to Qi Dengxian.

Qi Dengxian signed it casually, "You wanted to see me?"

Yu Xiaolong said calmly, "I'm Yu Xiaolong. I'm here to tell you that we are not from the same world."

Hearing her name, Qi Dengxian was visibly surprised, then frowned slightly.

Yu Xiaolong's cold gaze fell on his shoulder insignia, two small white stars, a second-level prison guard.

"This engagement, I'm calling it off," Yu Xiaolong said indifferently, her gaze carrying a hint of pity. The eldest son of the Qi Family, stuck guarding a rundown prison.

"Do you have any objections?"

After saying this, she took out a marriage contract and slowly tore it in half in front of him.

Behind her, the soldiers looked at Qi Dengxian with disdain, their expressions carrying a hint of contempt.

A mere second-level prison guard, thinking he could match up to Yu General, already a lieutenant general?

Yu Xiaolong sighed, shook her head slightly, and said with a hint of pity, "I know this is a big blow to you, but as you can see, we are not from the same world."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over her shoulder and his.

Qi Dengxian said nothing.

Yu Xiaolong handed him a business card, "As compensation for breaking the engagement, you can use this card to ask me for two favors."

"As the former eldest son of the Qi Family, you should leave this wretched place as soon as possible. Then, maybe there's hope for you to return to the clan."

"The Terror King is in your hands now. Make sure he stays in the cage, or many people will die..."

"We lost a lot of elite soldiers capturing him, and even I got slightly injured."

After saying this, Yu Xiaolong turned and jumped into the car, leaving without waiting for Qi Dengxian to respond.

"He's completely fallen since leaving the Qi Family."

"Stuck in such a sunless place, no matter how talented, it will be worn away."

"When I spoke to him, he didn't even respond, clearly aware of the difference in our statuses."

Yu Xiaolong chuckled, thinking if Qi Dengxian came with the card, she'd give him a chance to leave the prison and join the military, perhaps with a small future.

Qi Dengxian watched Yu Xiaolong's departing figure in surprise, then slowly withdrew his gaze, crushing the card in his hand instantly.

"Crazy..."

Qi Dengxian muttered, casually unlocking the cage.

The Terror King inside immediately pushed open the cage door, grinning, "Kid, you should've listened to that woman's advice!"

"I didn't expect you to have such a connection with Yu Xiaolong, the Hua Country's female war god!"

"But you're pitiful, being dumped by her... Tsk tsk, I almost feel sorry to kill you..."

Suddenly, Qi Dengxian slapped him, and with a loud smack, the notorious Terror King, captured with great effort by the military, fell unconscious to the ground.

"I'm in a bad mood, why are you babbling?"

Qi Dengxian cursed irritably, then grabbed the Terror King's ankle, dragging him like a dead dog back into the prison...

"Second Boss, Second Boss, your letter!" A postman hurried over, handing an envelope to Qi Dengxian, glancing nonchalantly at the new prisoner like a dead dog.

Qi Dengxian took it, feeling a surge of energy, "A letter from my dad!"
