Chapter 294: 111. Liberty

The prison guard today seemed especially cautious and irritable.

Had something happened?

Gretto’s gaze shifted as he remembered the words exchanged by others nearby.

’Is the Red Squad going to attack the prison?’

...This timing, it should be the Nine Dragons Gathering.

Could it be they were taking advantage of the moment when manpower was short? It was possible if Mirror was involved, he was capable of such a thing.

So, he stood up straight, stood up, and deliberately shouted loudly:

"Can’t we become our own masters?"

"Hey! You jerk, what the hell are you babbling about!"

Seeing someone challenging authority, the prison guard became furiously enraged and walked towards him:

"You, get down here!"

Gretto glanced at the prison guard, turned his head, and said to the prisoners:

"The People of Sky Ring are not humans just because there is a Ring King, it’s clear that if the Ring King lost the support of the People of Sky Ring, he would be nothing."

Such provocative words immediately infuriated the prison guards, who roared in fear and anger, "Insolence! How dare you insult the Ring King! Throw him into the Cold Pool!"

"Good! What guts!" A Beta Rank Martial Artist prisoner laughed heartily, suddenly stood up, broke a spoon, and stabbed it into the neck of the prison guard!

Hiss!

Blood spurted out as the prison guard was ambushed, and several Beta Rank strong men acted simultaneously. Although their strength was suppressed, their skills were retained. They picked up meal trays and smashed them onto the heads of the prison guards, while several prisoners involved due to political struggles shouted loudly, "Break out! The prison guards are going to kill all of us!"

"What a joke!"

"Beat these bastards to death!"

"Damn it, let’s do this!"

The prisoners were spurred into action, quickly united, and began to beat up the prison guards. Gretto took the opportunity to find some members of the Red Squad and the resistance organizations. Unlike the unorganized sudden riot, they urgently discussed countermeasures.

"Mirror might really have launched an attack, we should coordinate from inside and outside."

"But with such a sudden event, we still aren’t sure when Big Sister will come."

"Yet, even so, if we do nothing, the prison guards will teach and punish all of us in the most brutal ways next."

"We can’t just bleed and sacrifice for nothing..."

Just as Gretto was about to speak, among the clashing prisoners, someone shouted:

"Where is the Doctor! The Doctor! Lady Meina is giving birth!"

His shout was extremely anxious, followed by a woman’s screams piercing the prison air, carrying a lingering sound.

"Stop fighting!"

Gretto quickly stepped forward, and a few of the main culprits also realized something was wrong, immediately let go of the prison guard, threw these disheveled bastards back, and the guards and detainees confronted each other.

Gretto looked at the shouting man, remembers his name was Miura, a printing factory worker who was framed and thrown into prison for printing documents that did not align with certain Sky Ring corporation interests.

Miura was introverted, and now surrounded by a crowd, became the focus of attention, his face immediately flushed with embarrassment as he hurriedly explained, "Lady Meina is a female prisoner in cell 72, she was just using the sewing machine, suddenly she fell down and could not get up, crying out loud, I saw her waters had broken. She’s probably going to give birth now."

"Hey!" a prisoner immediately looked angrily at the prison guard, "You actually threw a pregnant woman into prison and made her work the sewing machine, don’t you feel ashamed?"

"Haha, you traitorous scum, still have the nerve to criticize us." The prison guard wiped away the blood from his nose, even though they were beaten up by the ambush, they were not panicky at this moment.

The reason was simple, those who were detained here were mostly conscientious people, their education and morals wouldn’t allow them to just abandon a pregnant woman’s life.

Thus, Little Sawasumi Taro believed, to guard conscientious political prisoners, the guards naturally had to be a bunch of scum, so as not to be soft-hearted.

Not to mention pregnant women, this prison even had children.

"Where’s the Doctor?" a Beta Rank bellowed, "You beast, go find the Doctor."

"Doctor?" the guard said coldly, "There’s no such thing."

"What did you say!?" the prisoners were shocked, "We’ve been serving our sentences for so long, do we really not even have a doctor allocated to us?"

"Hey hey hey, why should taxpayer money be spent on doctors for you criminals?" the prison guard spread his hands, "Aren’t you dissatisfied with His Majesty the Ring King? Then don’t enjoy our benefits, really, who asks for benefits from those they oppose, thinking they are here to enjoy life?"

Hearing this, the prisoners angrily charged to beat him up again, "What a joke, we are citizens of Sky Ring, one of the Four Nations, not some warlord! Have you even abandoned basic humanitarianism? That’s a pregnant woman, she might lose her life and the baby’s too!"

From deep within the cells, the woman’s screams could be heard again.

"What if she’s a pregnant woman?"

The prison guard, brandishing an electroshock baton, said with a sneering smile:

"You are merely a bunch of criminals, being alive is already the greatest mercy. Your only purpose is to provide goods through labor."

"Despicable!" Gretto burst from the crowd, he rebuked, "Without even a basic sense of empathy, are you even human?"
