431: Do we know each other?
As Liu Yan's voice faded, Geheros glanced at the corpse on the floor, then looked at the dining table.
Finally, he looked suspiciously at the Prison Guard with a gunshot wound in his leg.
Just then, a Prison Guard couldn't help but interject, "Warden, he has already admitted it himself. Such atrocious behavior must be severely punished!"
"Yes, Warden. If we don't handle this today, he will surely win over the hearts of the other prisoners, and by then..."
The Prison Guard hadn't finished speaking when Geheros interrupted him with a sideward glance.
Immediately after, Geheros's cold voice rang out:
"Why don't you be the Warden?"
Six simple words made the previous Prison Guard shut his mouth, not even daring to lift his head again.
Geheros turned his head and looked at the prisoners.
"Who was in charge of serving food today? Stand up."
The prisoner who had been in charge of serving Liu Yan's food stood up tremblingly.
"Drag him out and execute him."
Five simple words left everyone collectively stunned.
"Warden! Warden, this has nothing to do with me! I'm just the one serving the food!"
"I didn't do anything! They were the ones who started fighting!"
Geheros ignored his pleas for mercy and turned to the Prison Guard.
"Didn't you hear me? Drag him out and execute him."
"Yes!"
In this situation, no Prison Guard dared to speak up again; they scrambled forward to drag the prisoner out of the cafeteria.
After the prisoner was taken away, Geheros raised a finger and pointed at the meal tray on the table.
"Next time, if there is any dispute in the cafeteria over food again."
"The person in charge of serving food that day will face the same fate."
As soon as Geheros said this, even Liu Yan, who was sitting on a chair, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Furthermore."
"If anyone threatens or orders the person serving food to add extra portions."
"Or seeks revenge afterwards, it is also a capital offense."
"There are a bit too many people in the Tidal Prison now."
"Everyone is welcome to monitor and report."
"Once there are fewer people, there will be enough food for everyone."
After finishing, Geheros turned around and scanned the remaining Prison Guards.
"Everyone's pay is docked by half a month."
"From now on, if any such incident occurs in the prison again."
"Then it will be docked again."
Upon hearing about the pay cut, the expressions of all the Prison Guards changed instantly, and their gazes toward the prisoners became filled with more resentment.
Meanwhile, the prisoners collectively turned their hateful gazes toward the Second-in-Command.
Before they could turn their attention to the instigator of it all, Liu Yan.
Geheros's voice had already rung out first.
"You, come with me."
"Oh?" Liu Yan looked somewhat stunned.
Because just a moment ago, he had seen Geheros give him a wink.
Liu Yan nodded, stood up, and followed behind Geheros.
After the two left, the breathing in the cafeteria gradually returned to normal.
Many who had been holding their breath finally let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.
"Damn it, if you guys ever fight over food again, I'll just shoot you all!"
Bang—
After saying this, the Prison Guard viciously kicked a prisoner at random.
The latter had no choice but to swallow his grievance and secretly marked down this kick in his heart.
"Alright, none of you are eating today, get to work!"
"You there, go to the solitary confinement cell and deliver food to Raven."
The Prison Guard nudged Kim Jae-wook with his foot.
Since Raven entered the Tidal Prison, under Geheros's fasting order, he had barely eaten anything.
Yesterday, he had inexplicably fasted for another day without eating. If he didn't eat today, he might starve to death.
"Yes!"
Kim Jae-wook quickly stood up and grabbed a serving of unfinished food from several dining tables.
It was the Second-in-Command's.
Because his meal tray had noticeably more meat and vegetables than everyone else's.
When the Prison Guard saw this, he didn't stop him.
Who knew when the Warden would go crazy again and order Raven to fast.
If he really starved to death in the Tidal Prison for no reason, everyone might face reprimands from Jacob.
It wasn't impossible that they could even face collective pay cuts or layoffs.
If a crime was committed, and it was serious, they could be put in solitary confinement, or even killed in a conflict.
But starving to death was a completely different matter.
Moreover, given Raven's identity, one would have to think twice before killing him.
...
Warden's office.
"Sit." Geheros gestured with his chin toward the sofa on the side.
Liu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight to the sofa to sit down.
"Here."
Geheros tossed Liu Yan's quantum storage over.
The latter caught it instinctively and looked surprised.
In fact, ever since Liu Yan had just woken up, he had known exactly where his quantum storage was.
After all, there was nothing in the entire prison that could escape his sight.
Including Kim Jae-wook, who was currently feeding Raven.
The reason he hadn't bothered to deal with it or find a way to retrieve his quantum storage.
Was that he didn't care. Liu Yan knew that as long as he wanted to, this item could return to his hands.
But the Warden returning it to him personally was a bit puzzling.
"Doesn't the prison confiscate personal items?" Liu Yan asked, raising an eyebrow.
Geheros smiled and shook his head.
"I called you over, not because of what happened in the cafeteria just now."
"It has something to do with what you're holding."
Geheros raised a finger and pointed at the quantum storage in Liu Yan's hand.
"Get to the point." Liu Yan frowned slightly.
Seeing Liu Yan's reaction, the face under Geheros's mask couldn't help but twitch.
Looking around, which prisoner came to him without their legs going weak from fear?
They wouldn't even dare to sit down.
Even when a Prison Guard came in, they had to be respectful.
And Liu Yan, never mind not having these reactions.
Now he was complaining that he was being long-winded?
"That thing of yours... I have one too."
Geheros took out his own quantum storage.
The moment he saw the quantum storage in his hand, Liu Yan's pupils contracted uncontrollably.
And Geheros's next words made Liu Yan's pupils contract again.
"My quantum storage can take out various things; yours... can too, right?"
Seeing Liu Yan's facial reaction, Geheros got his answer.
He casually placed the quantum storage on the table, then leaned his upper body forward, resting his elbows on the desktop.
"Where did the quantum storage in your hand come from?"
Liu Yan frowned and thought for a moment.
Now, neither side had any guesses or suspicions about the other.
All there was, was exploration and a desire for knowledge.
It was like two people who had suddenly gained superpowers meeting each other.
Generally, there were only two possibilities.
Either, they want the other to die, so that no one in the world can restrain them.
Or, they exchange information and cooperate.
The two's current intention was naturally to exchange information.
"My quantum storage... is innate..."
When Liu Yan said this, he himself felt a bit speechless.
But that was the fact, and he wasn't lying.
After finishing, he gestured with his chin toward Geheros.
"What about you?"
Geheros was silent for a moment.
"Mine... appeared inexplicably after I woke up."
"Also, when I look at your face, I always have an indescribable sense of familiarity."
Geheros stared intently at Liu Yan, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
"Do we... know each other?"
