Chapter 1919 – 1919. The Dark Moon
I don’t know if it’s too much of a joke, but the prison in this periphery is special.
Because it is so far away, it is out of reach of the Empire.
A place where criminals who have become difficult to deal with for various reasons have been pushed.
One of the places to send soldiers who are disliked by the superiors or cause trouble.
Lemen Prison was such a place.
Little kingdom.
It is a small kingdom governed by its own laws. The warden was the king of this place.
The problem was that the king’s power was unstable. It was only natural that the lower ones would often rebel. The actions I had just taken were also a kind of suppression.
The new prison warden is a madman, so a warning to behave well.
‘I don’t know if that warning worked well.’
It didn’t matter if the superiors intervened or rebelled. I have no intention of becoming a prison warden seriously. I just need to achieve my goal. Deal with Leon Schneider? I didn’t even write a contract, so what? He’s dead anyway he doesn’t take it seriously
Bubbly.
I was escorted by one of the guards to the prison warden’s office. In the meantime, take a look around.
The prison was dingy. The floor and ceiling were all filled with gray concrete. There was mold growing in the nooks and crannies. It exudes a gloomy feeling.
“Aren’t you cleaning properly?”
“That’s because there’s not enough manpower… That, though, I do regularly. And it’s a pretty old building, so it’s not good only on the outside.”
The jailer’s voice trembled. It was only natural to be nervous because the assistant prison warden was so upset.
“Only for appearances?”
“The entire prison is enchanted with defensive magic. Even if it looks like an old concrete wall, its value is enormous. So far, only about 30 prisoners have escaped from our Lemen Prison!”
“Are there 30 people?”
“Well, I heard that other prisons are much more…”
“…”
I don’t know of any other prisons. I turned the subject. The traditions and history of this prison were of little interest.
“How are the prison conditions?”
“We have a total of 150 administrators and a total of 1,574 prisoners. Among them, there are 300 female prisoners.”
I already knew there were female prisoners. Of course, it is managed separately from the male inmates side.
“The difference between the guard and the inmate is more than 10 times.”
“Yes. The situation is poor. But somehow it works.”
The jailer sighed. Soon the warden’s office came into view. He opened the door and greeted me with a salute. I nodded and went into the director’s office.
‘… It’s cold.’
The director’s office was, to put it mildly, tidy. The desks, chairs, and bookshelves were placed all over the place, so it was impossible not to be tidy.
‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think this is a prison cell.’
Search the bookshelves and drawers. There were documents with information about the prisoners.
‘In this day and age, there is no computer in the office… Does that make sense?’
Looking at it, there were traces of a computer. Someone took out the computer. Why? To not give information to the warden? Or an unspoken command to do nothing?
I immediately left the prison warden’s office. The jailer, who was about to turn him around, widens his eyes.
“There must be a place that handles the administration of the prison.”
“You mean the administration?”
“Okay. To guide you.”
The guard led me to the administration, swallowing dry saliva. He opens the administration door and enters. Guards in light clothes sat in front of the desk. There were 9 people, 3 of whom were women. There were very few people working properly.
The man in the highest seat gets up slowly. His huge belly bulged.
“Oops. Are you the new warden? I heard the story. He was a battle alchemist from a famous family… What did you come here for?”
“Are you the head of the administration?”
“Yep. I am the head of the administration.”
A middle-aged man in his 40s grumbles. The pig-like man has a fishy smile on his lips. It seems that he doesn’t know what happened to the assistant superintendent.
“It’s gone.”
“Yes?”
“The military is gone. Head of administration. Where did you sell official names?”
“Ahhh. This is Lieutenant Stefan Weissmuller. As you can see, I am the head of the administration.”
His expression wrinkled He is deliberately hiding his self-expression. He is completely ignoring me. He looks around. The guards noticed Stefan, not me. From a distance, it would appear that Stefan is the prison warden.
‘You ignore me like this… I can’t stand it.’
I strode toward Stefan. Stefan hesitated as if embarrassed.
“Uh, warden? I made a mistake, but do it in moderation. We have our own laws here.”
“Is that above imperial law? The military police would love to hear it. Shall I go and report it?”
“Don’t you know that’s not what I mean? I know who the warden is, but this is Lemen Prison.”
“You know me? No, you don’t know.”
I raised my fist and slapped him on the cheek.
Puck!
However, Stefan does not collapse. Not to mention, his head didn’t even shake. He raised his eyebrows in displeasure and lowered his voice.
“What is this?”
“I was in the middle of educating the cheeky lieutenant… Contrary to appearances, your body is stiff.”
Stefan grinned.
“It’s my insignificant talent. By the way, assault towards his subordinates is illegal. It’s really good to see the military police coming to Lemen Prison.”
“The lieutenant doesn’t seem to show any signs of remorse.”
“I haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I reflect?”
“The lieutenant lacks respect for his superiors. The fact that you are talking back to me like you are now is an insult to your superior and a protest.”
“What kind of an asshole… Ha, I will report this to a higher unit, so know that. Now that the greetings are over, please leave, Director. The director’s place is not here, but in the director’s office.”
Bang!
He pulled out his pistol and fired a bullet into Stefan’s right eye.
“Aaaaagh!”
Stefan grabs his right eye and collapses.
“It looks like that little trick doesn’t protect your eyes.”
The eyes have also been strengthened. It was strengthened, so I didn’t die and ended up with my eyeballs bursting. Stefan, struggling with pain, wakes up and jumps up.
“Fuck you!!”
Bang!
“Aaaaagh!”
A bullet was also put in the other left eye. The blind man fell to the floor and screamed.
[Strength]
He strengthened his strength with magic and kicked Stefan’s head. Bang! With a cool sound, Stefan’s head fell to the concrete floor. I kicked him in the head a few more times. Stefan’s body limp. It’s fainting.
Look around. The guards are startled. Power went into their backs.
“You must be writing the budget books. Bring it now.”
They looked at each other They didn’t know what to do since their leader, Stefan, had stretched out.
“Are you protesting like Stefan?”
“Oh no! We will prepare it right now! It’s better to send the lieutenant to the infirmary…”
“Lieutenant Stefan is a soldier of the great Heist Empire. He barely dies this much.”
“…”
“Bring the ledger.”
“… Yes.”
A minute later, the budget ledger was in my hands. Despite this, the business is running. He knew how to read the ledger. Of course, I learned from YuRia.
Looking at the ledger, I widened my eyes. The budget allocated to prisons was higher than expected.
‘Is it natural that it is large? And…’
A little strange. A lot of money was spent on facility management. The prison facilities I’ve come this far are just outdated.
‘Did they siphon off the budget in this way?’
Well, it won’t be only that. It must have taken away the budget in a subtle way that I didn’t recognize.
“The lieutenant got his hands on the budget. Not surprising. Give me a week Bring the extra budget to me in cash. I will put those budgets to good use for the prison.”
Even if you can’t, you’ll get 300 million credits.
I didn’t have enough money to invest in my business these days, but it went well.
‘Prison warden. This is a honey job.’
I look at the jailers. When I looked up, everything was pale.
“Cow, Chief. I’m sorry to say this, but the budget has been used up. The remaining budget is also used.”
“Ah, that’s right. Report to the military police? Or do you want to be an eye idiot like the lieutenant?”
“…”
“Was a week too long? Within four days, bring the stolen budget and put it on my desk.”
“Four days… ! Impossible!”
“If you don’t, the military police will come. The inmates will love it if you are put in prison.”
“…”
“Exactly four days. Whether you break your savings or get a loan… Bring the stolen budget if you don’t want to see the military police come in.”
I cut off Stefan’s limbs in front of them and threw him into the infirmary. Stepan. I couldn’t just kill it. The budget this guy has stolen so far must be ridiculously large.
I sat on a chair in the warden’s office. Close your eyes and think. As soon as I got to prison, I had a big accident. But don’t be scared Now I am Leon Schneider, not Eugene Meyer. My true identity will never be revealed.
‘I have a world door. If it seems dangerous, just run away.’
A world door could be used as long as there was a door. As long as this is there, running away is nothing.
Smart smart
I woke up to the sound of knocking.
“Chief. This is Captain Kevin.”
“Come in.”
Kevin came in. Soaked in rain
“All the corpses were taken and magically treated. The bodies of the soldiers will be handed over to their families, and the bodies of the attackers will be cremated.”
“They are the ones who attacked me. Did you figure out his identity?”
“… I didn’t have time to go there. I think it’s on the gang or mafia side.”
“Find out exactly and bring it. Stop going.”
But Kevin didn’t go out right away.
“… I heard he turned the administration upside down.”
“They played a trick on the budget. I was going to execute them all, but I endured it.”
“… Why did you cut off Lieutenant Stefan’s limbs?”
“I cut it because there was a risk of rebellion. But are you interrogating me now? About Captain?”
“No. I will just step away.”
Fast.
A grinding sound was heard. I pulled out the papers and checked the information about Kevin.
