113: Chapter 113: A Thousand Doomed Souls 113: Chapter 113: A Thousand Doomed Souls A Ministry of War big shot!

That’s an existence Zhang Bin looked up to, one he never imagined he’d receive a direct call from in his lifetime, and the person of such significance to deserve the Ministry of War big shot’s personal attention—how could they be an ordinary individual?

When Zhang Bin carefully inquired who was coming to inspect the Prison Department, the name Ye Xuan entered his ears, sending a chill through his body and making him tremble with trepidation.

Although Ye Xuan had vanished for half a year, his reputation had spread throughout the Capital City—how could Zhang Bin not know of him?

That’s why, before the sky had even fully lightened, Zhang Bin arrived early at the prison, waiting for Ye Xuan’s arrival, fearing he might offend Mr.

Ye with any lack of proper etiquette.

“No need for excessive formalities.

Has the person I’m seeking been arranged for?” Ye Xuan said calmly.

“Your subordinate has prepared everything in advance.

Please come inside, Mr.

Ye,” Zhang Bin said with a fawning smile, leading Ye Xuan inside, and with a majestic entourage, they entered the prison.

High walls surrounded them, a dense network of electric fences overhead, and numerous soldiers armed with rifles patrolled around the prison—this was the scene that Ye Xuan saw.

Passing through the prison gates, Zhang Bin led the way, and wherever Ye Xuan looked, he occasionally saw prisoners moving about the prison, each with a prison guard trailing behind and looking listless themselves.

Soon, under Zhang Bin’s guidance, a playground came into Ye Xuan’s view.

The size of this playground was akin to that of a soccer field, all sides surrounded by barbed electric fences, with a good thousand prisoners trapped within.

Clothed in prison uniforms, all bald-headed, their eyes filled with a deathly emptiness, as if they had lost their souls—such was the state of these thousand prisoners.

“Open the gate!”

At Zhang Bin’s shout, two prison guards quickly unlocked the large gate, with a substantial number of soldiers brandishing rifles to guard Ye Xuan and the others on both sides.

“Please, Mr.

Ye,” Zhang Bin said with a smile.

Ye Xuan strolled in, Zhang Bin followed quickly, and he also gestured to the prison guards behind him, signaling the armed soldiers to swiftly keep pace with the two.

Inside the playground.

Once Ye Xuan reached a raised platform, he looked down upon the thousand prisoners below with a commanding gaze.

These numbed and soulless prisoners finally took notice of Ye Xuan and the others and all turned their eyes towards them.

“Mr.

Ye, there are a total of 1,024 people here.

Each one of them is guilty of heinous crimes and has been sentenced to death by the Ministry of Justice.

Their execution dates will soon be upon them,” Zhang Bin reminded quietly.

“Yo, if it isn’t Warden Zhang.

What kind of wind blew you over here today?”

“Heh heh, Warden Zhang brings a pretty boy.

Could it be you’re giving us an extra meal?”

“This little thing’s tender flesh makes me drool.

I wonder if he could withstand my antics in bed.”

The thousand death row inmates laughed out loud, with all sorts of lewd and filthy words emerging as though venting their inner frustrations.

This immediately darkened Zhang Bin’s expression, who stealthily glanced at Ye Xuan with concern for his satisfaction.

“You bastards, shut your mouths,” Zhang Bin scolded loudly.

“Oh, is Warden Zhang angry?

Could this pretty boy be your kept man?”

“Haha!”

The sounds of mockery were endless, leaving Zhang Bin so infuriated he couldn’t speak.

Facing these prisoners soon to be executed, although Zhang Bin was the warden, he had no way of controlling them.

After all, why would people who were about to die fear a mere warden?

“Mr.

Ye, I’m truly sorry,” Zhang Bin said, face flushing red, bowing deeply to apologize to Ye Xuan.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan’s eyes were calm, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the death row criminals before he turned to Zhang Bin and said, “You can take your men and leave now.”

“Is… ah?”

“Mr.

Ye, what did you say?” Zhang Bin’s complexion changed drastically, and his eyes, when looking at Ye Xuan, were filled with a look of terror.

“I said you can take your men and leave now,” Ye Xuan slightly furrowed his brow, repeating himself.

“Mr.

Ye, this must not be done!”

Zhang Bin’s face was pale, his forehead breaking out in heavy cold sweat, and he anxiously said, “You do not know, these people are about to be executed.

If you are left here alone, they would definitely kill you.”

It was no wonder Zhang Bin was so afraid; although Mr.

Ye was a martial artist, of the death row inmates in the yard, which one was not desperately vicious?

Not to mention, there were more than a thousand of them.

As the saying goes, two fists can’t defeat four hands, and Zhang Bin was very certain that if Ye Xuan were left here alone, his fate would be extremely tragic.

If something happened to Ye Xuan, how would he explain it to his superiors?

And this was exactly what Zhang Bin was most worried about.

“Did you not understand what I said?” Ye Xuan’s tone turned cold as he spoke.

“But… but…” Zhang Bin stammered, reluctant to lead his men away.

“Go ahead, I will take full responsibility,” Ye Xuan said coolly.

“The officer obeys,” Zhang Bin said, still hesitant in his expression, but ultimately gritted his teeth and led his soldiers away from the yard.

However, as they were leaving, he kept issuing warnings to the death row criminals, threatening that if they dared to be unreasonable with Ye Xuan, he would make sure they suffered a fate worse than death.

Unfortunately, how could these death row criminals take Zhang Bin’s warnings to heart?

At this moment, they all looked towards Ye Xuan on the high platform with gleaming eyes, some even subtly moving towards him.

As Zhang Bin led his men away, Ye Xuan stood atop the platform, looking down at the over a thousand death row inmates below.

His expression was serene, showing no sign of fear.

“Brothers, I, Lao San Li, am taking this pretty boy; whoever tries to compete with me, don’t blame me if I damn well kill him,” a middle-aged man with a fierce face said, lust surfacing in his eyes as he strode toward Ye Xuan.

“Ha ha, Lao San, just make sure you don’t play too rough and break the pretty boy,” someone shouted with a laugh.

“This guy is really seeking death.

He’s not even aware of where he is, daring to face us alone,” someone mocked cruelly.

The atmosphere in the yard was intense; most people looked at Ye Xuan as if they were looking at a dead man.

“Hmph.”

“Are all of you idiots?

Have you all become dumber by being locked up?”

A skinny young man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, gave an impression of being refined.

But when he spoke these words, they took the criminals aback, their eyes showing unmistakable wariness towards him.

“Brother Jin, what do you mean by that?” someone questioned.

“This person dares to face us alone; either he is an idiot, or he doesn’t regard us at all, and I tend to believe the latter.

I’m afraid Lao San’s end will be quite miserable,” the skinny young man spoke assuredly, his eyes flickering with a hint of suspicion as he looked at Ye Xuan.

On the platform.

Lao San Li was merely three meters away from Ye Xuan, currently wearing a savage smile, sizing Ye Xuan up from head to toe, and spouting lewd comments.

“Tsck tsck tsck, this figure, this skin… even facing my death, I’m lucky to encounter such a fine piece like you.

It’s like the heavens have opened their eyes.

Today, I will…”
