<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Chapter 278: A Subject Worth Training</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-text-chunk _ngcontent-ng-c3116847607="" _nghost-ng-c4080898746=""><ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c4080898746="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">The next afternoon, Aiden and Veronica were inspecting the newly arrived riot gear.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"New model sidearms, Mana-Devouring Rounds, and also runic batons and runic swords... Even the armor and helmets have been updated?" Veronica's eyes gleamed as she looked at the equipment laid out on the table. "Sir, you really went all out this time."<br _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="">

</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"I felt bad making you deal with inmates using outdated gear all the time," Aiden chuckled. "Now that the prison has ample funds, it was the perfect time to upgrade everything. Though, of course, it still can't compare to the Inquisition's equipment."

</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Sir, since the prison is flush with cash, why not just give us a raise? Or maybe hand out some bonuses?" Veronica quipped, making a money-counting gesture.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"If I could, I'd have given myself one already. Prison profits can only be used for operational expenses, not salaries or bonuses. Our wages come from the Prison Administration Bureau," Aiden smiled back. "Misappropriating this money counts as embezzlement of public funds. Are you looking to get locked up again?"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Never in a million years!" Veronica answered instantly, but then—</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256=""><ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Unless it's being locked up as <ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">your</ms-cmark-node> personal 'inmate'...</ms-cmark-node></ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">For some reason, that strange thought flashed through her mind.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">She snapped back to reality the next moment, shaking her head vigorously, trying to banish the bizarre idea.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"It was just a joke. Is such a strong reaction necessary?" Aiden asked, a little surprised by her head-shaking.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"No... I just remembered how disrespectful I was to you back then, and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed," Veronica stammered out an excuse, smiling awkwardly.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Ever since Aiden had saved her life outside the prison and stood protectively in front of her to confront that vampire, Veronica felt like she was becoming increasingly strange.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Being wrongly sentenced to death... anyone in that situation might have ended up the same way. I never held it against you. After all, the Core Block is full of inmates like that," Aiden chuckled, then a hint of regret crossed his face. "Although, it really has become difficult to find a real troublemaker in the cells lately."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Isn't it a good thing that the inmates have become more docile?" Veronica blinked.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"That's true..." Aiden trailed off, swallowing the rest of his sentence— <ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">but it also means less fun training disobedient inmates.</ms-cmark-node></ms-cmark-node> ℞𝔞ɴòΒĚŝ

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Just then, Chief Guard Franda pushed open the door. "There you are, Warden."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Chief Guard," Veronica saluted her superior.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"What is it?" Aiden turned to Franda as well.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"The 'gift' sent from the Empire has arrived," Franda replied, her expression serious.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Where is she now?" Aiden inquired.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Just finished the intake inspection, about to be sent to the orientation room. Would you like to see her first?" Flanda asked.<br _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="">

</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Of course," Aiden nodded, then turned to Veronica. "You come too. This is an inmate who might require special attention later."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Two minutes later, the three arrived at the intake inspection room. They saw the young pirate, dressed in a prison uniform and wearing shackles, standing by the wall, flanked by a guard.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">The guard immediately saluted upon seeing Aiden, who acknowledged him with a nod.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Anne deduced Aiden's identity from the guard's reaction and looked him over with interest. "Looks like a big shot has arrived. Are you the one calling the shots here?"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"I am the Warden of this prison," Aiden smiled at Anne. "Welcome to our family, Inmate 3677."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"The Warden himself came to see me? Looks like you know about me," Anne's lips curled into a smirk.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"An inmate who escaped from the Capital Prison... Of course, I had to come see what you look like," Aiden replied calmly.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Good that you know," Anne's smile took on a reckless edge. "It won't be long before my father finds a way to get me out. You people can't stop him. Let's make a deal: arrange a nice cell for me, meet my demands, and I can guarantee I won't cause you any extra losses when I leave... Though honestly, I'd recommend just letting me go now. That would be the smartest move."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">This outrageous statement made Franda and Veronica, standing behind Aiden, widen their eyes. The nearby guard was equally dumbfounded.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Only Aiden nodded calmly. "My, aren't we arrogant? Anyone who didn't know better might think some princess had just married into the prison."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Relying on her father's ability to break her out, she acted with blatant disregard for the prison staff, making no effort to hide her intentions.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Aiden quickly sized up the new inmate. She herself wasn't a particularly difficult character; the real trouble was the Red Shark Pirates behind her.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"This dump of yours can't even compare to the Capital Prison. Let me tell you something: back then, we had the power to release every single inmate in that entire prison," Anne suddenly leaned in close to Aiden without reservation, narrowing her eyes at him. "People need to know their place."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Back off!" Veronica immediately stepped forward, shoving Anne hard in the chest and pushing her back against the wall. "Who gave you permission to get close?"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Anne slammed against the wall, grimacing in pain. She glared at Veronica, then turned back to Aiden. "Hey! I'll give you one chance. Deal with this bitch properly!"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"I'll give <ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">you</ms-cmark-node> one chance. Watch your mouth," Aiden countered sharply.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"People who don't know what's good for them don't live long. Maybe I'll deal with you after I get out of here," Anne stared at Aiden, issuing a threat.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Practically every inmate here knows how to talk tough. Your level doesn't even rank," Aiden mocked. "How about you work on your delivery?"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Anne stared at Aiden silently for a moment, then suddenly spat towards his face.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Aiden reacted instantly, turning his head aside to dodge.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Almost simultaneously, Veronica lunged forward, striking the inmate hard in the upper abdomen.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Anne doubled over in pain, nearly vomiting.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"It's been a while since an inmate spat directly in my face," Aiden commented. "Quite spirited, aren't we? But... perhaps not very bright. Even spitting in someone's face counts as assault here."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">Anne glared up at Aiden, too pained to speak.</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">"Why are you looking at me like that? Friendly reminder: if you had actually attacked physically, being killed on the spot wouldn't be unusual," Aiden looked down at her, continuing his lecture. "Your father, no matter how resourceful, can't bring back the dead, can he?"</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">He then turned to Franda. "After orientation, send her to solitary for the night before assigning her a cell. This one won't be sleeping in a bed tonight."</ms-cmark-node>

<ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256=""><ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">It really has been a while...</ms-cmark-node> Aiden thought. <ms-cmark-node _ngcontent-ng-c2459883256="" _nghost-ng-c2459883256="">An inmate like this, still full of rebellious spirit, ready to stir up trouble at any moment.</ms-cmark-node></ms-cmark-node>
