Chapter 1553 - 1448: Jin Kui Rises to Power
Ten minutes later.
The ground was in complete disarray, covered with blood and tattered clothes.
The prisoners lay sprawled across the ground; some were groaning weakly, while others clutched various parts of their bodies and cried out in pain.
In short, none of the prisoners present were temporarily unharmed.
Jin Kui and the Barbarian exchanged glances, both swallowing hard, feeling quite overwhelmed.
"Boss! Luckily, I’m with you!" Jin Kui couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, "These bastards used to treat me like dirt, chasing me down to kill me. Now they’re in this state—karma, huh!"
Qin Hao smiled silently and beckoned to the three Spirit Beasts.
"Roar!" The three Spirit Beasts reluctantly came over, with the Flame Leopard leading by letting out a snarl, as if in defiance.
The unfortunate state of the prisoners was because these three beasts had pent-up anger from Qin Hao and needed to vent.
Just at the right time, the prisoners presented themselves, and the furious beasts obviously showed no restraint.
"Sss sss!" Much like the Flame Leopard, the two Pangolins seemed displeased, intentionally moving the spikes on their backs.
"What do you mean by this? I’m the owner here, how dare you be so disrespectful?"
Feeling a bit speechless, Qin Hao said with a smile.
"Roar roar!" The Flame Leopard, full of rage, crawled over to Yingzi, rubbing its head against her leg, as if saying Yingzi was its real owner.
"You!" Qin Hao felt a bit jealous. It was he who had caught the Spirit Beast, and yet Yingzi was treating it like a pet.
"Owner, I’m sorry, the little leopard says it prefers me... there’s nothing I can do..."
Yingzi began to explain shyly.
"It’s okay... Yingzi, you can command them in the future..." Qin Hao said, bearing his heartache.
Then, he soothed Yingzi and the three beasts for a moment.
With the three beasts accompanying her, Yingzi was much more cheerful, which made Qin Hao feel relieved, knowing she would not be lonely. He then stored the beasts and Yingzi into the Dream Stone.
After securing the Dream Stone, Qin Hao gave Jin Kui a meaningful glance.
Having been with Qin Hao for a long time, Jin Kui had inevitably absorbed some negative habits.
He swaggered forward to the front, looking down at the prisoners with disdain, and said arrogantly, "Now do you see what happens when you cross me?"
The prisoners were in too much pain to respond.
Jin Kui got angry and shouted, "I’m talking to you!"
His shout caused many of the prisoners to be scared out of their wits.
"We understand! We understand!"
"Brother Jin Kui! I was really wrong! I’ll never bully you again in the future!"
"As long as you give me a way out, we won’t interfere with each other, okay!"
"Brother Jin Kui, please give me a way to survive."
To survive, the prisoners abandoned their dignity and began to beg for mercy.
"Hmph! Do you think my forgiveness is that easy?"
Jin Kui sneered, "Listen up from now on, all of you are my slaves. If I tell you to go west, you must not go east. If I want you to die, you cannot live. Understand!"
These words made all the prisoners look miserable.
If they truly agreed, wouldn’t that mean becoming this guy’s minions?
Thinking about Jin Kui’s personality, many trembled with fear.
Agreeing would mean no good days ahead.
"Did you hear me!"
Jin Kui raised his voice and shouted again.
"Understood!"
The prisoners’ last ounce of courage was shattered by the shout, and they instinctively responded.
"Good! Those who didn’t answer just now must die!" Jin Kui, with a stern face, nodded slightly.
At this, the rest who hadn’t responded were all colorless, shouting; "We understand!"
"Now that’s more like it."
Jin Kui smiled with satisfaction, but the prisoners were in tears; this guy is truly an unscrupulous scoundrel!
After dealing with the prisoners, Jin Kui was in a good mood and quickly approached Qin Hao with a flattering smile: "Boss! The matter’s taken care of, are you satisfied?"
"Quite satisfied, but what does that have to do with me?" Qin Hao blinked.
"They are my slaves, and I am your subordinate, which means they are essentially your followers..."
Jin Kui explained cheerfully, and Qin Hao rolled his eyes, thinking that rebellious youth turned into such a shameless person?
"By the way, boss, did you come looking for me today just to see me?" At this moment, Jin Kui returned to the main topic.
"No, I came to take you on a mission." Qin Hao said directly.
"Really! That’s great! I’ve wanted to leave this godforsaken place for a long time!" Jin Gui immediately rejoiced.
However, Qin Hao shook his head, "No, I promised your master that you have to stay here for now..."
"Damn! That old geezer keeping me locked up here! Won’t let me go on a mission! It’s so frustrating!"
Jin Kui was very upset but didn’t dare say much more, knowing his boss was still slightly weaker compared to the master.
"Don’t fret. After walking around, I found that although this place is chaotic, it’s a good way to hone yourself."
Qin Hao spoke like a parent, "Now that you’re the leader, you need to properly lead these prisoners to grow. This is the best opportunity to exercise your overall view, so make the most of it..."
"Just a bunch of losers, lead them?" Jin Kui looked disdainfully at the stooping prisoners.
"That’s not entirely true." Qin Hao continued patiently, "Being able to transform scum into talent proves your ability. At that time, the Punishment Hall Elder will naturally let you out to compete with the prodigies!"
These words made Jin Kui fall into contemplation.
It does make sense when the boss puts it this way.
Originally, Su Lingfeng was also thrown into this hellhole by the master, but unlike me, Su Lingfeng was extremely astute and powerful, and in less than three days, he subdued three leaders, becoming the foremost force here.
Later, he used various methods to suppress other leaders, ultimately becoming the tyrant of the prison.
Because of his outstanding methods, the Punishment Hall Elder was particularly fond of him and gave him many benefits.
After Su Lingfeng left the prison, he rose directly to prominence as a newcomer.
His methods and strength were basically honed here in the prison.
Thinking of this, Jin Kui calmed down.
He earnestly stated, "Boss, I will work hard and strive not to let you down!"
"Good." Qin Hao showed a gratified smile.
Whether it’s Jin Ni’Er or Jin Kui, I can’t take care of them forever.
Whether they can live well ultimately depends only on themselves.
Seeing them both become strong and independent, Qin Hao was still very pleased.
"By the way, boss, will you take my sister on the mission?" Jin Kui started probing for information.
