Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 149 - 130: Strength Advancement, Peril in the Black Market

Chapter 149: Chapter 130: Strength Advancement, Peril in the Black Market

During this period, Jiang Feng returned from outside the city with no hint of joy on his face. When it came to talking about handling matters outside the city with Han Dong, he was either frowning or forbidding anyone to discuss the topic. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

At first, Chief Wang and a few others thought Jiang Feng was modest, not liking to discuss right and wrong, especially since the case was still under investigation to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Now the appointments had been announced.

Han Dong became the Lord Director of the Prison.

Bao Longwei became the Chief of Prison in the Four Great Prisons.

A few days passed.

Jiang Feng was still just a Little Prison Chief.

Han Dong never summoned him.

Several encounters later, Han Dong’s attitude toward Jiang Feng was relatively cold, treating him the same as everyone else.

At that time, everyone found it a bit strange.

Now Jiang Feng received no appointments.

Inside the prison, there were rumors of him fleeing during a crisis, being cowardly, and fearing death. For a time, everyone’s attitude toward Jiang Feng subtly changed.

"Prison Chief Jiang, is there any misunderstanding between you and the Lord Director of the Prison? Do you want to explain to everyone?"

Chief Feng mustered the courage to ask.

"Explain what? Explain to whom? Let me tell you, do your job honestly, and be aware of things you shouldn’t listen to, shouldn’t ask about, and shouldn’t talk about."

Jiang Feng said sternly.

"But..."

Chief Wang wanted to say something.

"No buts, go do your work, clean the cells, and I’ll inspect them later."

Jiang Feng did not want to say anything.

The abrupt rumors caught him slightly off guard, but that’s fine; let everyone think his relationship with Han Dong had soured!

"Yes!"

Chief Wang and the others reluctantly left.

"Prison Chief Jiang, Xiao Tian is your subordinate, right? He dared to extort silver from a prisoner just now, and I caught him red-handed. How do you say we should deal with him?"

Suddenly, Mao Daming brought in a bruise-faced Little Prison Guard to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng frowned.

Xiao Tian, whose real name was Tian Dali,

had been diligent under his command, always remembering the four ’don’ts’, so how could he accept bribes from prisoners?

"Prison Chief Jiang, I didn’t take any silver from the prisoner; all the prisoner gave me was an empty bowl."

Tian Dali said, crying.

"Nonsense, I saw you take the prisoner’s silver with my own eyes. Do you think there’s something wrong with my sight?"

Mao Daming said angrily.

He was extremely frustrated inside.

He didn’t expect Han Dong to neglect Jiang Feng.

All the previous efforts seemed to have been in vain.

"Captain Mao, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Jiang Feng had already figured out what was going on.

Clearly, Mao Daming had heard rumors and, like Chief Wang and others, thought he was neglected by Han Dong.

Not only was a promotion hopeless, but his future situation would also be extremely difficult.

Recalling the previous attitude toward him, Mao came to pick a quarrel, filled with resentment.

"I said I saw it with my own eyes, are you deaf?"

Mao Daming shouted angrily.

Tian Dali hesitated to speak, looking helplessly at Jiang Feng.

Understanding the situation, Jiang Feng said, "Thank you, Captain Mao. It’s my failure to supervise my personnel, and I will learn from this lesson to ensure such incidents won’t occur again."

"Humph, you’d better remember it. Today, I discovered it in advance; if the Lord Director of the Prison finds out next time, I fear she won’t be pleased."

Mao Daming mocked.

"You said it, I will properly discipline my people."

Jiang Feng nodded.

Hearing this, Mao Daming turned and left, just wanting to see Jiang Feng in a submissive posture toward him.

After Mao Daming left, Tian Dali knelt on the ground and cried, "Prison Chief Jiang, I really didn’t take anything from the prisoners."

"Get up, I’ll grant you half a month’s leave. Pack up and go home to recover. Take this silver."

Jiang Feng helped Tian Dali up and gave him a tael of silver.

"This... Prison Chief Jiang, I can’t accept this."

Tian Dali said, overwhelmed by the kindness.

"Say no more, just go."

Jiang Feng forcibly put the silver in Tian Dali’s hand and turned back to his workspace.

Tian Dali wiped his tears, packed his things, and left Zhenbei Prison.

A while later.

Han Dong came out to inspect.

Chief Hu and the other two Supervisors followed behind her.

At this moment, Han Dong’s aura was strong, her demeanor commanding. The Court had rewarded her with two Primordial Energy Pills, which after consumption, significantly increased her power, elevating her to the Second Grade Refining Essence Realm with the Court’s assistance.

Additionally, Bao Longwei, with the help of two "Elemental Power Pills" and the aid of an Innate Powerhouse within the Imperial City, broke through to Second Grade, becoming a First Grade Qi Refining Realm powerhouse.

He and Han Dong.

Not only did they get promoted,

but their strength also advanced.

They could firmly hold their current positions.

This was also the Emperor’s reward for them.

Now, with Han Dong’s recent breakthrough, her Qi and Blood Power converted to Primordial Power, and her aura was emanating from within to the outside, initially uncontrolled during inspections, giving an oppressive aura, intimidating the whole scene.

Chief Hu and the two Supervisors following her didn’t dare to speak lightly.

Under Han Dong’s imposing pressure, all three were sweating.

Now Han Dong was the head of Zhenbei Prison.

The positions of Grand Commander and Vice Commander were vacant, and the three Supervisors were vying to perform well, hoping to secure the Vice Commander position.

As they walked.

Han Dong arrived at Jiang Feng’s area of jurisdiction.

Every time she came here in the past, she would visit Jiang Feng.

But since Jiang Feng indicated that he was solely focused on cultivating, aiming to become an Innate Powerhouse as soon as possible, Han Dong stopped bothering him. Upon reaching Jiang Feng’s area of jurisdiction, she didn’t see Jiang Feng, only Captain Mao and others.

She understood that at this time, Jiang Feng was surely busy in the workspace.
