"That's right, I'm at the Heavenly Order now, little brother. As long as you behave and don't make any sudden moves, I won't kill casually."

The short, stout man named Theodore wanted precisely this kind of effect to restrain the enemy.

The Heavenly Order is enough to override most ability users unless the young person he's holding hostage is also at the Heavenly Order or S-Class.

"Can you tell us what crime this old fellow committed?"

Chen Fei, completely unaware of any threat to his life, calmly asked the blonde girl facing him, who was on high alert.

A team of fully armed prison guards and Combat Mechs rushed into the chaotic Room 43 of the interrogation room.

"Private fundraising project explosion, financial fraud!" Nicole said calmly.

Chen Fei: "..."

It took him quite a while to recover, half-believing and half-doubting, he said, "I thought it was some heinous crime, just this?"

A successful financial project brings joy to everyone, but if it fails, it's illegal public deposit absorption, and a fake project is financial fraud. If you have the ability to earn some management fees, isn't it attractive?

Even ability users need to eat, practicing skills also requires money, sometimes even a lot of money. It doesn't mean becoming an ability user, you can eat and drink without worry, achieve financial freedom. In reality, a penny can stumble a hero.

Most of the time, abilities are just a side job, not even considered a hobby. There are many supernatural power users dissatisfied with their Psi Skills, like Ice-Ability Users who are afraid of the cold, or Beast Tamers allergic to fur.

"Do you know whose money he swindled?" The blonde girl teased.

Not every financial fraudster is eligible to be locked up in Habulav's Heavy Criminal Prison.

"Couldn't be a head of state, right?"

Chen Fei laughed gleefully, having no awareness of being a hostage.

"Even more serious! It's..."

Before Nicole could reveal the answer, the short, stout man Theodore, who had Chen Xiao'er in a chokehold with his Battle Qi-armed arm, answered for her.

"Dragon King Coin!"

"Pfft!"

Chen Fei weakly patted the arm that was choking his neck and gave a thumbs up.

Everyone knows that this generation's Dragon King is the biggest financial disaster in the history of the Dragon Clan, a super prodigal king.

"Senior, impressive! How much did you get?"

Compared to him, Chen Fei didn't even qualify as minor. Things that he wouldn't dare to imagine, the other not only thought of but did and succeeded.

"Heh heh, not much, just a mere 10 trillion!"

Theodore's fat face showed a proud expression. After being addressed as 'senior,' he unconsciously relaxed the pressure on the little brother.

A mere 10 trillion has to be impressive! The interest alone could allow the common people to achieve personal financial freedom.

Although 10 trillion Star Yuan wouldn't push Cangqiong Star's Dragon Race's Sky Dragon City into a financial crisis, the Dragon King's relentless, tireless efforts couldn't be stopped.

Locking up a financial fraudster in Habulav's Heavy Criminal Prison isn't necessary, but an Earth Order War Professional is different, especially when involving 10 trillion Star Yuan. Many small sovereignties' GDP wouldn't even reach that number.

Chen Fei could almost imagine that the biggest reason for this old fellow being locked up wasn't financial fraud but the continually growing interest of the enormous cash. Whoever could get their hands on this windfall would surely have a profitable year.

Earlier, when getting out of the elevator, seeing this short, stout man being dragged into the interrogation room, it wouldn't be surprising if he exploded under pressure, persevering all the way to get such a massive amount of stolen money, how could he easily let someone else take it?

With a sudden change in his proud smile, Theodore viciously said again, "No one can stop me, or I'll twist this kid's neck. I can do it."

The arm tightening around Chen Fei's neck once again.

After boasting, he had to escape this damned place. Hiding for a few years could allow him to enjoy his spoils of war. The enormous wealth, already cashed out and exchanged into bearer notes, bearer bonds, share certificates, asset proofs, and a large amount of cash, could be spent however he liked. The security forces composed of mere ordinary people couldn't stop a Heavenly Rank Warrior.

Theodore's body suddenly flickered, and with Chen Fei in tow like a cannonball, smashed through the wall of Room 43 heading toward the corridor wall, identified the direction, and rushed toward the elevator shaft.

"Everyone, don't make any rash moves!"

The blonde girl, Nicole von Sasha, rushed into the corridor from the doorway, shouting hurriedly.

Compared to the life planet in Chen Fei's hand, 10 trillion Star Yuan is insignificant.

Although more and more prison guards were arriving, including some of high Rank Levels, their actions couldn't match Theodore, who could slightly tighten his grip on the hostage. Just one crack, Chen Xiao'er's neck could easily be twisted, ending his life.

The automatic Combat Mobility Armor emerging from the corridor walls wasn't authorized to fire, relying only on blocking with its body, yet Theodore unceremoniously knocked it aside.

If unable to use attack weapons, the Mobile Armor becomes a powerless hunk of iron.

"Sorry, little brother, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!"

Theodore and Chen Fei reached the elevator entrance, apologizing as he gathered Battle Qi and struck heavily.

Amidst the swirling dust and shaking corridor, the alloy steel elevator door was smashed to pieces. The elevator car was yet to be in position, leaving an empty shaft behind the door. Theodore didn't wait for the elevator car to descend or ascend, directly rushing inside with Chen Fei. Though short and stout, his moves were extremely agile, leaping up and down the elevator shaft with astounding speed.

In the hands of this Heavenly Rank Warrior, Chen Fei was like a ragdoll, brought along for the escape with no intention to resist.

The elevator shaft quickly reached the top, even the elevator car was broken through by Theodore's punch. Breaking through the elevator door, thinking they had reached the surface, yet they were confronted by a dense black throng of prison guards, humans, Combat Mechs, Combat Mobility Armor, layered inside and out, sealing the elevator entrance tight.

The farthest reach of vision showed only walls, no windows, still no sight of the sky.

They had been fooled; the end of the elevator was not the surface, but still underground.

"Theodore, release the hostage, you can make your demands, let go of the hostage!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Ping! The elevator beside them chimed.

The blonde girl Nicole, surrounded by a small team of armed prison guards, emerged from the elevator doors.

There was naturally more than one elevator shaft, at least four elevators connected directly to the underground Heavy Criminal Prison.

"No, no, no, I have to leave here, you bastards only know how to torture me!"

Theodore shouted, fiercely throwing a punch at the encirclement, dense Battle Qi gathered into a mass and whooshed out.

Even barehanded, every move of a Heavenly Rank Warrior holds tremendous power.

Boom!~

The air rippled, the light of Magic Shields flickering densely, rising alongside were eruptions of Battle Qi Flame among the encirclement's crowd.

The prison for Heavy Criminals doesn't lack powerful ability users, there wasn't just one Heavenly Order presence of the same tier as Theodore.

"Say, old brother, looks like you might not make it out, can you let me go?"

Chen Fei, brought along for the ride, patted the thick arm still tightly choking his neck.

Theodore, having just advanced to Heavenly Order, attempting to break through such an array was almost impossible.

"Ah? Oh, oh!"

With a heart filled with hopelessness, a despairing Theodore let go of Chen Fei, no longer persisting, even considerately brushing Chen Fei's clothes, removing wrinkles and dust. He sincerely apologized, "Sorry for involving you, it wasn't intentional."

Chen Fei viewed the waiting encirclement as nonexistent, leisurely turning back to Theodore, saying, "By the way, if you're so keen to get out, would you consider joining me?"
