Chapter: 5974
Joseph hastily replied with shame, "Yes, Uncle Leaf, you're right. I was out of line..."
Just then, Lucas mustered his courage to approach Leaf Chen and asked, "Sir... Are things going well here?"
Earlier, Leaf Chen had suddenly inserted himself into Gustavo's and Joseph's affairs, and although Lucas was concerned, he didn't dare ask what was going on, watching Leaf Chen just leave with Gustavo, then return together, seemingly without any conflict or danger. So, he mustered his courage to ask.
Leaf Chen thought he was quite clever and laughed, saying, "Lucas, from today onwards, Gustavo will be moving into my cell. Are you interested in moving in together?"
Lucas was shocked upon hearing this, wondering why a renowned figure like Gustavo would voluntarily move into Leaf Chen's cell.
After all, Gustavo's current living conditions were top-notch in the entire prison, with only fools giving up such good conditions to live in an ordinary cell.
However, facing Leaf Chen's invitation, Lucas still enthusiastically agreed, saying loudly, "Sir takes me seriously. Then I'll be moving in with Sir!"
From Lucas' perspective, Gustavo was a big shot he couldn't normally interact with, and now had the opportunity to live in the same cell as him, which might also be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
What's more, Leaf Chen, this young man with a mysterious air about him, gave him a huge sense of awe. Unconsciously, Lucas felt that Leaf Chen's background was definitely very big, possibly even beyond what he could imagine...
Lucas scanned his surroundings with a mixture of caution and curiosity, quickly spotting Dean quietly gazing at him from among the crowd.
Since Leaf Chen had taken the initiative to approach Joseph and Gustavo, Dean had been stealthily monitoring Leaf Chen's every move, watching as he chatted with the old-timers from the First and Second Blocks. Even more astonishing was the fact that Leaf Chen and these powerful individuals treated him with a certain level of respect, even addressing him as if he were an equal. This only made Dean feel increasingly intimidated and worried about his own reckless behavior.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "What the heck, people say you shouldn't mess with tigers' behinds. I'm just a little Teddy bear, what am I doing trying to play with the tiger's behind?... I almost got my head smashed into the toilet bowl by Leaf Chen today, it was only thanks to God that..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously made the sign of the cross on his forehead and chest, and then from left shoulder to right shoulder. With a devout tone, he whispered: "God bless... Amen..."
Leaf Chen noticed him praying and boomed loudly: "Dean, come here!"
Dean trembled all over, not bothering to finish his prayer, and hastily ran to stand before Leaf Chen, bowing respectfully: "Yes, sir? What are your instructions?"
Leaf Chen spoke in a flat tone: "You're responsible for fetching two disabled junkies from the dorm room and exchanging them with Gustavo and Lucas. They'll be our cellmates from now on."
"What?!!" Dean was shocked out of his wits, flashing a nervous glance at Gustavo before asking urgently: "Leaf... sir... is this all true?"
Gustavo saw him looking anxious and replied somewhat irritably: "What's wrong with your ears? Do you need Leaf Chen to repeat himself?"
Leaf Chen glared at Gustavo and scolded, "Gustavo, you need to understand your position. In my cellblock, there are only two levels: one level is me, and the other level is everyone else except for me. From now on, you will only follow my orders and have no right to manage or discipline others who are at the same level as you. Do you understand?"
Gustavo thought he could curry favor with Leaf Chen but was surprised that Leaf Chen didn't take him seriously. Panicked, Gustavo assured, "Mr. Leaf, don't worry, I won't make similar mistakes again!"
Leaf Chen replied coldly, "You're wrong again. You won't make any more mistakes, or else I won't let you off scot-free."
With Gustavo's face saved, Lucas quickly tidied up his personal belongings and moved into Leaf Chen's cell just as the wind was about to settle.
When Gustavo arrived at Leaf Chen's cell, he blurted out the first sentence: "What a clean cellblock, Mr. Leaf! You people really know how to keep it spotless!"
The inmates couldn't help but look around awkwardly, recalling the painful effort they put into cleaning up today.
Leaf Chen smiled slightly and said, "In this cellblock, hygiene is the most important criterion. I don't care if someone comes in here because they were involved in arson or robbery outside. Or if it's because they committed rape or fraud. As long as anyone dares to be even a little bit unhygienic in here, I'll make them pay with their blood." JrNovels.com
