Chapter: 5955

Yichen nodded and carried his plate over to the designated spot.

In Brotherly Prison, most prisoners loved to socialize and rarely liked sitting alone in a corner, so Yichen was surrounded by no other prisoners.

A few minutes later, Lucas carried a tray of food over and sat down across from Yichen, asking softly: "Do you need my help with anything?"

Yichen mumbled to himself as he ate, his voice low and hushed: "I've heard that a man named Zhou Bofei from the Northern Federation was brought in here a few months ago. Have you received any information about it?"

"Zhou Bofei?" Lucas thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I've never heard of this person. Is there any certainty that he's really imprisoned here?"

Yichen nodded: "Absolutely certain, the source is very reliable, and I'm sure there won't be any mistakes."

"Strange..." Lucas said seriously: "You're talking about Zhou Bofei, but I really don't know him, and I have a list of new inmates at my disposal. I update it every day, but this name hasn't appeared on the list yet."

Yichen asked him: "Is he likely to be held alone in some location within this prison?"

Lucas thought for a moment, then spoke seriously: "I can't guarantee that, you're an Anglin introduction, and I shouldn't hide anything from you. The truth is, although Brotherly Prison is a federal prison on the surface, the actual controller is the Rothschild family."

As he said this, he glanced over at Gustav, who was leisurely slicing steak and drinking red wine, and told Yichen: "Look at that person, Gustav Sanches, who can enjoy his steak and wine here. It's not just because he has money and power, but also because he has collaborated with the Rothschild family."

As he looked at it, the Rothschild family had already become the strongest family in the world, with a history spanning over a hundred years. They have grown into a very cautious family, definitely not willing to get involved with criminal organizations that commit murders, arson, and drug trafficking.

So, the Rothschild family collaborated with Gustav, even putting him behind bars serving at home. This seemed unreasonable to Yichen.

As Yichen looked puzzled, Lucas spoke in a low tone: "The North Federal government has always wanted to extradite Gustav to face trial domestically, while Gustav has been secretly negotiating with the West Coast government, hoping not to be extradited. Originally, Gustav and his sons had already made preparations, ready to create some commotion if the West Coast government decided to extradite them. But ultimately, it was the Rothschild family that intervened and mediated, leading Gustav to agree to be extradited to face trial in the North Federal government, under one condition: he cannot be sentenced to death, and he must serve his sentence in a prison controlled by the Rothschild family."

As he spoke, Lucas added: "Don't look at Gustav as enjoying special privileges here. This prison is just a facade for him. As long as he's willing, he can leave anytime. I've heard from my informant at the laundry that several times, someone had sneaked in and out of the prison under the cover of night, disguised as Lucas himself."

Yichen smiled slightly: "I never thought the mighty Rothschild family would go to such great lengths for a drug trafficker."

As he spoke, Yichen shrugged his shoulders again: "But it's not surprising. The Rothschild family has been tied up with opium trade since the 19th century, even profiting greatly from the Opium Wars in China. Maybe they're still at it today."

As he spoke, Lucas said with a smile: "These conclusions I've drawn myself, based on what someone told me. A prisoner who used to work in finance for Wil Street explained these things to me."

He continued: "That person also told me that the Rothschild family is actually controlling this unassuming Broadhill Prison because it's too close to Wil Street. Once they control this place, they can turn it into their own sanctuary, a place where they can hide those drug traffickers, gangsters, and financial criminals who are brought here by the North Federation. As long as they're in prison, the Rothschild family can manipulate them from behind the scenes."

Lucas went on: "As for why Broadhill Prison is encouraging prisoner autonomy, it's because the Rothschild family wants things to get more chaotic here. The more prisoners get hurt or killed, the better. They want to create an impression that this place is a real hellhole, so they can send anyone they don't like here and have them 'disappear'. And since Broadhill Prison has its share of dead bodies anyway, no one will raise any eyebrows."

Just as Lucas was speaking, a group of muscular men with tattoos on their arms, necks, and faces emerged from the entrance to the second prison zone.

Several muscular men surrounded a burly man with slightly gray hair, looking around 50 years old but still in good shape due to regular exercise.

Lucas told Yichen: "That gray-haired guy is Joseph Norris, the big shot of the second prison zone."

Yichen asked him: "Does this person have any connections with the Rothschild family?"

Lucas shook his head: "No, he doesn't. He's been here for many years already when the Rothschild family took over this prison. Back then, they hadn't yet gained control of the prison, and Norris had already become the big shot around here. After the Rothschild family took over, they split the prison into two zones, putting Norris in charge of the second zone and giving Gustav the first zone."

As Lucas spoke, he added: "I think the Rothschild family is using Joseph to balance out Gustav. If they let Gustav run wild around here, the Rothschild family wouldn't be able to directly control him. Gustav would become too complacent, and Norris being left behind would make him a little more cautious. Although Gustav's strength lies in Western City, Norris has the power to rally many prisoners here if he wants to take on Gustav. Including that Dean guy standing next to you." JrNovels.com
