Free Web NovelChapter 671: Chapter 670: The Return of the Mascot_1
Half a month later, Rose Iron Prison.
"The warden is conducting an inspection, everyone come to the cell door!" Veronica, who was substituting for the departed Flandre to accompany Aiden on the inspection, stood in front of the cell door and shouted.
Except for the goddess of revenge who was still lazily lying on Halo’s bed acting crazy, the other inmates quickly gathered at the cell door, moving swiftly and orderly without making any superfluous noise, resembling well-trained soldiers in a military camp responding to roll call.
"It’s starting to look more and more like a real prison," Aiden whispered with a chuckle.
In fact, this was how prisons were supposed to be in his memories from a past life.
Still, Aiden would occasionally reminisce about the "warm welcomes" he received from the inmates when he used to enter the core area in the past.
Aiden strode through the corridor as inmates quietly greeted him from time to time.
"Hmph, you’re getting quite the air about you," Ophelia commented, sizing up Aiden. "Tell me, there have been fewer and fewer inmates causing trouble lately, what should we do about that?"
"Isn’t that a good thing?" Aiden stopped and glanced at her.
"The chances of getting a sentence reduction are decreasing!"
"Your sentence is long, there will be opportunities," Aiden chuckled.
"Hey, that monster who was released isn’t coming back, right? She won’t, right?" Camilla shouted to Aiden, referring to Lamia who had just left the prison the day before yesterday.
"Are you afraid of her?" Aiden asked with interest. freewebnøvel.com
"Who, who’s afraid! I’m the damn number one street tough in the Old District," Camilla blustered.
"Then next time she comes, you can share a cell with her," Aiden said with a laugh and continued walking.
"Fuck, no way!"
"Warden, you’re getting more and more handsome. How about we have tea together tomorrow?" Daili flirtatiously suggested with a smile.
"Come on, tell us! Where exactly did the ruler of the Throne of Spirit go?" Presia leaned against the cell door, gazing at Aiden eagerly.
They had later learned a rough idea of what had happened that day from Qiqimora and Lamia, and also found out some of the stuff between Aiden and the authorities.
Since then, they had been eager to talk with Aiden every day. freēwēbnovel.com
"If there’s a chance," Aiden waved his hand. "Don’t forget you’re still under my evaluation period."
"Good day, Warden."
"Warden, you’ve worked hard."
Aiden continued walking forward, inmates still greeted him; the recent events had fully convinced those in the core area that rebelling against the warden was such a foolish and unnecessary act—after all, living well in this prison wasn’t too bad.
But there were exceptions.
One inmate, since Aiden entered, had been waving hands and calling out loudly, trying to draw Aiden’s attention in a very showy manner: "Lord Aiden, look over here! Ha ha, Fille is back!! Did you miss me?"
Aiden stopped in front of her cell door.
On this day, the mascot of the core area, had finally achieved the great accomplishment of entering for the sixth time.
The moment Veronica saw Fille, her face quickly turned dark.
"Should I say... as expected?" Aiden stared at the familiar face in front of him, raising an eyebrow, "What’s there to think about? Didn’t we just meet a few days ago?"
Fille had indeed made significant progress this time upon her release from prison. She finally learned her lesson and stopped running the business herself with her sisters. Instead, she first purchased a small financing company, then used it to invest in and buy several stores on Fireworks Street, entrusting others to manage them. In doing so, she became the rainmaking nightclub queen of the alleyway, once again involved in the business as an investor.
The most successful of the businesses under her name was astonishingly a card room that not only replicated some of the card games from Rose Iron Prison, but this establishment also featured a selling point where female employees, including succubi, would join in the games, boasting a borderline rule that customers could undress the staff with each win.
When this store opened a few days ago, it was reportedly so popular it nearly caused a stampede.
"When I learned you’d started investing, I really thought you’d turned over a new leaf." Aiden sighed.
Unlike the bloodline that must draw blood to survive, succubi do not need to absorb others’ spirit through dreams or intimate acts to live, but doing so grants them additional magic power and produces an extremely addictive pleasure.
This was also the fundamental reason why Fille and her crew kept causing business accidents and repeatedly committing the same offense.
As long as they can overcome the addiction, succubi can live just like regular humans. By no longer throwing herself into the line of work, Fille at least showed she had learned some self-control.
"I just have a particular goal, that’s all." Fille gazed intently at Aiden, deliberately licking her tongue in a very pointed way.
"So..." Veronica interjected with a stern face, "this is your reason for breaking into someone’s home and attacking them?"
"I’ve said it was a misunderstanding, I just wanted to catch up with an old acquaintance." Fille spread her hands, "Too bad neither the police nor the judge believed me."
"Catching up with an old friend doesn’t involve sneaking into their bedroom while they are asleep, and especially not bringing a camera." Aiden asked, "By the way, I’ve moved once, how did you find me?"
Fille had completely cut ties with illegal business, but in the end, she was still brought in for another crime—illegal entry into a residence.
And the victim was Aiden.
Not long ago, Aiden had moved, using a substantial amount of savings to buy a mansion not too far from the prison, and he hadn’t even informed his fellow prison guards. Yet, on the very first night he moved into his new home, Fille somehow sneaked into his residence and into his room, attempting to attack him at night.
But because Aiden had set a special rule for himself, to imprison anyone who showed any hostility towards him in the vicinity, power captured Fille before she could perform an even more extreme action, which also woke Aiden up.
"Just a little investigation would reveal that, haha!" Fille gave a "pure and innocent" smile.
"You even hired someone to investigate me; it seems you were sentenced too lightly after all." Aiden exhaled deeply.
"I went out of my way to pay a hefty price to have your neighbor sell me the house, so now we are neighbors, Lord Aiden! I can get out in a month this time, and we have plenty of time ahead of us, ehehehehe!" Fille laughed increasingly like a rascal who would not stop pestering a beautiful girl.
"If the genders were reversed, this behavior would definitely land you with a life sentence." Aiden shook his head.
"Can’t you ever learn to behave? Is it meaningful to keep forcing yourself to do impossible things? It harms both yourself and others." Veronica scolded Fille intently.
"Oh really, big sis?" Fille looked at Veronica with a defiant face, "Even though I didn’t succeed in physical intimacy in reality, I did manage to invade his dreams! Hehe, do you want to know what Lord Aiden and I did in his dreams?"
