Sinos Prison, Northias-a land of bitter cold.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, a thunderous salute rang out-twelve blasts in all.
"Is the Demon King really leaving? Is he actually going this time?"
"Thank heavens!"
At the prison gate, a young man showed up in plain clothes, with sharp eyebrows and striking eyes, his hair cut like it was done with a blade-handsome and cool. In an instant, all three thousand hardened inmates dropped to the ground, and every guard took off their hat, staring at him with tense anticipation, waiting for that big moment when he'd finally step out.
This place locked up the worst of the worst in Chiton-every one of them a hardened, unredeemable criminal. But right now, they all looked as innocent as newborns, faces full of awe, eyes clear as day, hearts pounding with excitement and nerves. For them, him leaving was like a once-in-a-lifetime amnesty.
The young man was Jordan Sowden. He'd gone in three years ago, and today was his day to get out.
Don't let his clean-cut looks fool you. Just thinking about this Demon King made all the inmates' stomachs turn and left them shaking.
"The Demon King is leaving. Once he's gone, we won't have to worry about getting strung up with red wax in our mouths for three days straight, or doing ten thousand push-ups over a toilet anymore..."
But suddenly!
Jordan suddenly stopped, turned around with a sly grin, and walked right back!
Everyone froze in terror, shivering, their skin crawling and their guts twisting. They were truly afraid.
"This Demon King, could it be that he doesn't want to leave..."
"As long as he's here, this place is the nineteenth layer of hell!"
"Woo... Mom, save me!"
Who would've thought these guys, each with hundreds of kills and even trafficking nukes, would be scared out of their minds?
In the deepest part of the prison, where darkness reigned, there were only four stone cells. Jordan showed up, holding a stick of sandalwood, lighting one in front of each cell, then called out lazily, "Hey old-timers, time to get up and take a leak."
Lights blazed on, revealing the four guys in the cells-each more bizarre and terrifying than the last. A chubby guy with a huge gut, wearing nothing but a bright red tie. A tall, skinny guy with long, bony fingers and empty, creepy eye sockets. A one-legged man standing tall like a pine, radiating a fierce, intimidating vibe, with a face as tough as a brick. And a guy with one side of his body painted black, the other white, with "Ready to Die" scrawled across his back.
"This is the last time I'll call you. I'm leaving today!"
"Want to come with me? We'll live the good life-good food, good drinks!"
"No!"
The four replied almost in unison.
"Since you don't appreciate my kindness and don't want to leave with me, then you should at least show some gesture, just as a farewell!"
Jordan looked disappointed, his face turning cold as he held out his hand, expecting payment. Was he saying goodbye or just here to shake them down?
The big guy with large ears said, "I'm filthy rich-I built the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. This Jade Ring is the key to running the whole thing. Take it, and it's yours now. My daughter's Faye Joslin-if you can, keep an eye on her for me!"
The blind skinny guy said, "I taught you everything I know about medicine-don't forget to take revenge for my lost eyes. Also, here are a few marriage contracts: marry them if you want, or if you don't, make them cough up half a billion!"
The one-legged guy said, "I've killed a lot in my life. I'm leaving you the Goldor Blade. Remember-it needs to be fed every day. If you ever run into my wife, Claire Lyson, or my dad, Braxton Rathbond-take them out!"
The black-and-white guy said, "I'm a legendary war god-the five war gods of Northias of Chiton are my grand-disciples! And I'm also the boss of Yanos Hall. Put on this Yanos Robe, and you'll be the new boss."
Jordan raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"
"That's it!"
The four responded in unison again.
"Bah!"
Jordan jumped up in frustration, gritting his teeth.
"What is all this? I want perks, and you're giving me chores!"
"Each of you is a notorious villain, yet you have so many issues for me to handle!"
"Don't you get it? Once I'm out, I have a fiancée to love, a beautiful sister to spoil, and a million things to do-I'm busy!"
"No way, I'm not doing it!"
Jordan was about ready to throw in the towel-he wanted perks, not more chores!
The four guys suddenly panicked. The big guy dug a glowing pearl out of his belly button, the blind one cracked open a gold leaf voucher hidden in his pillow, the one-legged guy handed over a secret bank account number with nineteen digits, and the black-and-white guy gave him three Supreme War God Medals!
"Now that's more like it."
"Alright, farewell!"
Jordan grinned, switching moods faster than flipping a switch, and was back to looking like the innocent, good-looking guy he was.
The four just winced, like it was killing them to hand this stuff over.
Jordan turned to leave, but as he walked out of the stone cell, his expression suddenly hardened.
"Rest assured, old-timers."
"I'll definitely take care of the stuff you asked me to!"
"If I mess up, you can have my head to kick around like a soccer ball!"
"And until I finish these jobs, I won't lay a finger on your precious stuff!"
Everyone has two sides, and Jordan was no exception. Sometimes he was warm and smiling, like a spring breeze, and other times cold as ice, with a murderous aura that reached the sky!
Bottom line-never mess with him!
He was the stuff of nightmares for countless villains-the ultimate Demon King, scarier than anything to all three thousand prisoners!
In the end, he walked out of the cliff-top prison, letting all the prisoners and guards finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Stepping outside, looking at the yellow sand, the sunset, and finally breathing fresh air, he swore, "Damn it, what's the point of a twelve-gun salute if they don't even have a car ready for me!"
The next second, a Wrangler came barreling in, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Heh, is it here to pick me up?"
"Let me guess, is it my drop-dead gorgeous sister?"
"Or that fiancée I haven't seen in ages?"
But instead, out of the Wrangler stepped two stunning women-both looking ready to kill.
One was dressed like a fighter, with a tight belt showing off her toned waist, making her curves up top and long, lean legs stand out-even her round, perky butt. Her thick black hair was braided and piled on top of her head like a spear tip, with a jade headband fluttering in the wind-making her look every bit the badass warrior woman.
The other wore a blue ruffled top with polka dots, designer khaki pants, and white sandals. Her skin was flawless, her beauty practically glowing. Her eyes sparkled like stars-bright and dreamy-making her even more stunning. The wind blew her short hair across her striking features, giving her a mysterious, irresistible charm.
