Chapter 59: Chapter 56: Detention Center

Li Lian was arrested at home and detained in the Detention Center of the Seventh Safe Zone.

The Detention Center is a prison for holding temporary prisoners.

Those staying here await the Supreme Court’s judgment and punishment. Once the sentence is passed, they will be thrown into the cold prison.

After comforting Li Lian’s mother, Wang Xu boarded the hovercar heading to the Detention Center.

"Sirus, contact the warden of the Detention Center in the Seventh Safe Zone for me, and have him meet me there personally!" Wang Xu’s face was dark as he hung up the call after saying this.

A moment later, Wang Xu arrived at the gate of the Detention Center.

"Who are you here to see?" Upon entering, the receptionist, with her feet on the table lazily doing her nails, asked absentmindedly.

"Li Lian," Wang Xu said.

"Li Lian?" The receptionist, a sharp-featured man, frowned upon hearing the name, looked up, and his heart skipped a beat.

A big shot has arrived!

He didn’t recognize Wang Xu’s identity as a Special Envoy; instead, he felt the aura exuding from Wang Xu far exceeded Tier Seven, shocking him with Wang Xu’s Power.

The Detention Center usually holds ordinary Genetic Warriors of below Tier Four and common civilians. They don’t usually handle Tier Four Elite Warriors.

Therefore, those coming to visit are generally ordinary people below Tier Four.

Suddenly seeing a powerful person whose Realm was unfathomable, the sharp-featured man panicked.

"Senior... what can I do for you?" The sharp-featured man quickly stood up, nodding and bowing respectfully.

"I said, I’m looking for Li Lian," Wang Xu frowned.

The sharp-featured man showed a difficult expression, obviously aware of Li Lian’s situation.

"Senior, forgive me for being blunt. It’s a big shot who wants to deal with Li Lian. If you want to find him... it’s making things very difficult for me," the sharp-featured man said.

The Du Family is quite famous worldwide. As just a receptionist at the Detention Center, how could he dare offend such big figures?

Furthermore, having accepted benefits from the Du Family, he kept his mouth shut, not letting anyone know about Li Lian’s matters. Naturally, he didn’t dare speak out. Were it not for the formidable power he sensed from Wang Xu, he’d have had a completely different attitude.

"If you don’t talk, you’ll have a hard time right now. I mean what I say," Wang Xu’s gaze was as cold and merciless as a bloodthirsty insect.

The sharp-featured man shivered but, upon thinking of the monstrous Du Family, could only insist, "I’m really sorry, Senior."

Between the Du Family and the powerful figure in front of him, the sharp-featured man chose the Du Family, which is an influential force with countless strong people, while the person in front of him is just one. Which side to stand on couldn’t be clearer.

Moreover, this is the Detention Center, acting here is tantamount to provoking the World Government, which would lead to being detained. The sharp-featured man didn’t believe Wang Xu would dare do anything.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Wang Xu’s ruthlessness.

Would Wang Xu, who could massacre an entire Insect Beast Region, stroll through a sea of blood, and soak in slaughter, care about such a minor regulation?

"Uh!" With a cold look in his eyes, Wang Xu easily lifted his hand and clamped the sharp-featured man’s throat, lifting him into the air.

The sharp-featured man was merely a Tier Two Genetic Warrior, suffocating in the grip of Wang Xu’s vice-like hand, his face turned red.

"Stop!"

"Damn it!"

"Surrender immediately!"

In an instant, all the Genetic Warriors in the Detention Center surrounded with weapons aimed at Wang Xu, encircling him tightly.

Wang Xu swept his gaze around, and the chilling look in his eyes made all the Genetic Warriors shudder involuntarily, nearly dropping their weapons.

With a flick of his wrist, Wang Xu sent the sharp-featured man’s body flying against the wall with a bang, collapsing to the ground, spewing foamy saliva from his mouth.

"Arrest me," Wang Xu said indifferently, extending his hands.

The Genetic Warriors exchanged glances, sharing disbelief at the terrifying Power. They were merely Tier Three Genetic Warriors, with some even at Tier Two—how could they stand against such an opponent?

"Humph! A bunch of useless people!" Wang Xu snorted coldly. His contemptuous tone provoked them, and finally, a Genetic Warrior mustered the courage to come forward, cuffing Wang Xu.

Afterward, without choosing to interrogate him, they directly locked him in a cell.

Clang!

The iron lock clicked open, and Wang Xu entered the noisy cell, drawing all eyes onto him.

Contempt, disdain, ridicule, and mockery... all kinds of sneers appeared. The inmates smirked sinisterly, ready to "take care of" the newcomer.

As the door closed, the still-anxious Genetic Warriors gave Wang Xu a deep look, their eyes lingering with fear. At the same time, a pitying glance was cast at the other prisoners, shaking their heads as they left.

"Hey there, what did you do?"

"You look like a delicate and tender little guy; did you steal something or commit fraud?"

"Hehe, who cares, let’s ’take care’ of him first!"

With prisoners roaring with laughter, Wang Xu completely ignored them, his gaze drifting throughout the cell until it quickly settled on a weak figure in the corner.

Li Lian!

Wang Xu briskly walked over and helped Li Lian up.

Li Lian’s body was covered in black-and-blue bruises, all in inconspicuous spots. Any slight movement would trigger nerves and cause severe pain.

Feeling the pain, Li Lian groaned, slowly opening his eyes as the blurry images gradually became clear.

"Wang... Xu." Li Lian recognized Wang Xu, his eyes turning red like a helpless, desperate child, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Li Lian, extremely weak, passed out after speaking.

"Damn it!" Wang Xu’s eyes reddened, growling like a beast. Li Lian’s injuries were so severe that without timely treatment, he might suffer lifelong ailments!

Wang Xu picked Li Lian up and moved to a bed.

Several burly prisoners were enthusiastically playing cards on this bed. As Wang Xu approached, they stopped their actions, giving him malicious looks.

"Move," Wang Xu said.

"Kid, are you looking for death?"

"Damn, so arrogant, I think you’re tired of living!"

As soon as Wang Xu uttered these words, they stood abruptly, towering over Wang Xu by a whole head, readying to attack.

Bam!

With a swift kick, Wang Xu didn’t even exert much force. A burly man shot like a cannonball, crashing against the wall, bleeding profusely, utterly lifeless.

Suddenly, an eerie silence enveloped the cell.

"Scram," Wang Xu uttered.

Fear swept through the eyes of the burly men, their legs weak. At Wang Xu’s command, they hurriedly cleared out of the way.

Gently laying Li Lian on the bed, Wang Xu took out some Emergency Pills from his Space Ring, administering them to him.

"If any of you are responsible, step forward," Wang Xu’s cold gaze swept across everyone, "Within ten seconds, if the masterminds don’t show up, none of you will have a good end."

Hearing the voice seeming to echo from Hell, the prisoners snapped awake, their expressions overwhelmed by terror, all of them pointing without hesitation at three individuals.

Bam bam bam!

Three muffled sounds followed—no one could tell how Wang Xu moved—as the three prisoners smashed against the wall, becoming a heap of flesh.

Terror spread briskly through the cell.

"Oh my god, killing in the Detention Center, isn’t he afraid of World Government’s punishment?"

"All four killed were Tier Three Genetic Warriors. Gosh, terrifying—even kicked to death just like that!"

"Shh! Stay silent, he kills without blinking, better not provoke him!"

"..."

The prisoners’ fear persisted, leaving only the sound of breathing in the cell, terrified of disturbing the God of Slaughter, who might just take them all out.
