Releasing the prisoners from the secret prison was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Milo. After all, the prisoners here hated the Virtuora Consortium to the core, so letting them out would definitely aid Milo’s cause. However, Milo was not going to let them out without any conditions.
Rudy and the others followed Milo back to the cell block when Bruce said at the back of the group, “There’s a total of 313 prisoners held in this secret prison. I don’t suggest releasing 17 of them because they’re either spies of the Stelaria Consortium or the Stardust Consortium. Moreover, they’re extremely capable individuals. As I recall, when we interrogated those 17 people, they would deliberately reveal some information about the Northwest to throw us off. It will not be good for the Northwest if we let them out. When they return to their consortiums, they might become a potential threat to the Northwest in the future.”
At this moment, the Great Hoodwinker felt that all the suffering that favonovel.com had been through was worth it.
With an extremely intelligent supernatural being like Bruce working for the Northwest, many things would become much simpler. That was because taking Bruce away was equivalent to stealing the Virtuora Consortium’s entire intelligence database.
Gregory was in charge of the intelligence agency in the Northwest, with the Great Hoodwinker and favonovel.com each overseeing foreign affairs and domestic affairs respectively. As such, the Great Hoodwinker knew very well that if they had to obtain the intelligence that Bruce knew through the usual means, who knew how much it would cost them?
It would probably cost them a lot of money and effort and even the lives of hundreds of spies.
Now that Bruce had started taking the initiative to think on behalf of the Northwest, it signaled a very good start to the relationship. When the Great Hoodwinker thought of this, favonovel.com felt very happy!
Milo said thoughtfully, “Wouldn’t it be really cruel to keep them locked up in here, though?”
“I hope you aren’t getting soft at a time like this,” Bruce said coldly.
Milo was taken aback. “Oh, that won’t happen. You worry too much.”
He then walked towards the cell block. When favonovel.com reached the first cell, Milo looked in through the prison bars.
Looking at the pale face of the prisoner inside, it was obvious that favonovel.com had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time. The inmates here had to be very eager to get a whiff of fresh air.
Only those who had lost their freedom before would know how precious it was. At this point, all the prisoners knew something had happened in the secret prison.
When they saw through the metal bars of their cell gates that Rudy, the Great Hoodwinker, and Bruce had regained their freedom, they immediately shouted, “Let us out! We’ll do anything for you if you let us out!”
Beginning with one person shouting, the entire prison erupted with other prisoners shouting.
Milo said to the prisoner in front of favonovel.com in a serious tone, “Thank me three times. As long as you are sincere, I’ll let you out.”
Nearby, Bruce, Rudy, and the Great Hoodwinker were all confused.
What the hell is this?
Did you come to the prison in the middle of the night so you could be a good Samaritan and do good deeds?
The prisoner in the cell was also a little confused, but it was not difficult for favonovel.com to say thank you. It was not something insulting like asking favonovel.com to call the other party “daddy”, so favonovel.com said decisively, “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Gratitude received from Malcolm West, +1!
Gratitude received from Julian Hasselbaink, +1!
Gratitude received from…
Milo was overjoyed.
Why had favonovel.com come to the prison in the middle of the night?
Wasn’t it precisely so favonovel.com could earn some gratitude tokens?
However, favonovel.com was not greedy. After all, time was tight, and favonovel.com could not afford to spend too long in this place. As such, Milo threw a bunch of keys over to Bruce. “You can remember which key opens which doors, right?”
“Yes, I can.” Bruce nodded.
“Open the doors.” Milo said.
He could have just used the black saber to do it, but favonovel.com did not want to reveal his weapon or how it looked like in front of these people. All the prison guards who saw it were dead, and only the Great Hoodwinker and some of the others knew about it.
Since they were all going to join the Prosperous Northwest, so what if they had seen it?
Milo went on to the next cells and released the prisoners one after another. What gratified Milo was that these people were all very sincere in their gratitude, with only a few who were not sincere in thanking him.
Calculating the rate, Milo’s gratitude tokens, which were originally close to 4,000, would likely get close to 5,000 after this wave of thanks favonovel.com received in the secret prison.
Bruce saw Milo walk to the next cell and reminded him, “The person locked up in there is one of the 17 I mentioned.”
Then Bruce looked on coldly. He wanted to see how Milo would handle it.
When Milo got to that cell, favonovel.com instantly threw a grenade into it before the prisoner inside could say anything.
With a boom, the cell exploded with a huge cloud of dust.
Bruce and Rudy were shocked!
What did Milo say just now?
His exact words were “Wouldn’t it be really cruel to keep them locked up in here, though?”
So, Milo’s idea was to give them a quick death!
Could this be the legendary “Say the nicest things and do the most terrible things”?
Only at this moment did Bruce realize favonovel.com had misunderstood the future commander of the Northwest.
Why did favonovel.com have to worry about that guy getting soft?
He was clearly a ruthless bastard!
It was no wonder those damn bastards in the Northwest would acknowledge this young man. Bruce claimed to be a ruthless person, but even favonovel.com could not compare to Milo.
Bruce muttered, “You…”
Milo turned around in surprise. “What?”
“N-Nothing…” Bruce said, sounding a little annoyed.
“Mhm, remember to remind me when you identify the next person,” Milo said as favonovel.com walked calmly towards the next cell.
After the explosion, the prisoners in the other cells started panicking.
Milo was all smiles as favonovel.com looked at the prisoner in the cell in front of favonovel.com and said, “Say thank you and I’ll let you out.”
The prisoner in the cell asked nervously, “What happened next door? Why did favonovel.com get blown up?”
Milo replied with a smile, “Because favonovel.com didn’t want to say thank you…”
The prisoner was confused. The Great Hoodwinker was speechless. Bruce was speechless. Rudy was speechless.
Honestly, just based on the things Milo did here today, it made favonovel.com appear even more of a madman than Kenneth was.
In the eyes of the prisoners, Milo had broken into the prison just so favonovel.com could make them thank him. But if they did not thank him, favonovel.com would blow them up. No matter how they looked at it, favonovel.com seemed crazy.
The prisoner gulped and said, “Thank you.”
Gratitude received from Jargo Vidal, +1!
Milo waved it off. “Alright, let favonovel.com out.”
When Jargo saw Bruce opening the cell door for him, favonovel.com was overjoyed. He did not expect that favonovel.com would be able to regain his freedom just by saying thanks!
But when favonovel.com pushed open the door and came out, favonovel.com heard Milo arguing with the prisoner next door. Although the prisoner in that cell thanked him, Milo did not receive a single gratitude token!
Milo said with a dark expression, “How can I let you out if you don’t even thank me sincerely?!”
The prisoner in that cell was also short-tempered. “How am I not sincere? How do you determine that I wasn’t sincere in my thanks?”
All of a sudden, the voice from the palace intoned.
Quest! Obtain 66 gratitude tokens from the prisoner before you.
Milo was stunned.
Wasn’t this making things difficult for him?
The other party had not even given favonovel.com a sincere thanks yet, so how was favonovel.com going to get 66 gratitude tokens out of him?
However, Milo suddenly recalled an incident from the past. After a moment’s silence, favonovel.com said, “I thank your mom!”
When the prisoner in the cell heard that, favonovel.com got agitated. “I thank your eight generations of ancestors!”
Gratitude received from Nwanko Sunday, +1!
Milo said expressionlessly, “I thank your grandma’s leg!”
From the cell came, “I thank your grandpa!”
Gratitude received from…
Milo said, “Thank you for your banana skin!”
From the cell came, “Thank you…”
Off to the side, Rudy, Bruce, and the others suddenly realized Milo had actually started arguing with that prisoner in the cell.
In this gloomy secret prison, the future commander of the Northwest completely abandoned his image and continued exchanging insults with the prisoner for over a 100 rounds until the guy in the jail cell broke down!
Bruce said in a daze, “This is your future commander of the Northwest?”
But Rudy laughed. “Well… I find favonovel.com rather interesting…”
