Chapter 1 The Return Of Asura
At Northern Crimson Prison located in Sanguine Desert, wind and sand swirled in the air, seemingly intent on submerging the entire prison.
The prison confined the most sadistic murderers in the world, including serial killers who were the world’s most wanted fugitives.
That aside, the Rainy Night Butcher who had slaughtered a family of more than a dozen people and top-notch hackers who had infiltrated the Sanctum were also imprisoned there.
Furthermore, the prison incarcerated the world’s top killer who had failed to assassinate the leader of a particular country but annihilated more than a dozen special forces before going on the lam.
Each and every single criminal imprisoned there had the blood of at least a dozen lives on their hands.
Thus, their hands and legs were manacled with heavy iron chains.
In front of their prison cells were fully armed guards who kept watch 24/7.
The security was so tight that not even a fly could escape.
However, there was an exception.
The man seemingly never killed anyone and hadn’t the slightest hint of murderous aura.
In fact, it appeared as though he had been imprisoned there by mistake.
There were no chains on his hands or feet, and he wasn’t even wearing a prison uniform.
No one knew his name, much less why he was being locked up in the prison.
All they knew was that he came to Northern Crimson Prison alone a year ago without the escort of any guards.
And surprisingly, the look in the eyes of the prison guards when they regarded him showed a faint trace of reverence.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A prison guard holding a tray in his hand knocked on the man’s prison door. “Mr. Goldstein, I’m here to deliver your meal!”
“Okay. Just put it down.”
The man didn’t even bother to lift his head as he toyed with a Desert Eagle in his hands.
In less than a minute, he had already disassembled the Desert Eagle and reassembled it perfectly.
The speed of his hands was so swift that it would be nigh on impossible for even military personnel to trump him.
“It’s your last day here at Northern Crimson Prison, Mr. Goldstein!”
The prison guard put the tray down, but he didn’t leave.
“It’s been a year?”
At long last, the man raised his head and revealed his countenance.
He appeared to be very young, merely in his twenties.
He wasn’t fair but a touch tanned.
The only intimidating thing about him was his eyes. They were sharp like blades, cold and devoid of emotion.
The prison guard nodded slightly. “Yeah! The warden is already on his way back from abroad and will land in an hour.”
“Why is he coming?”
The man arched his eyebrow a fraction.
“He’s coming specially to see you off.”
The warden of Northern Crimson Prison had been helming the place for decades, but he had never seen anyone off.
At Northern Crimson Prison, he had a godlike existence and reigned supreme.
No one dared to contradict him, let alone defy him.
Yet, he was currently rushing back from abroad just to see the man off.
The man sneered, his gaze cutting. “Hah! See me off, my foot! I think he wants to see me leave this place with his own eyes! As long as I’m at Northern Crimson Prison, he has no peace of mind! Tell him that he doesn’t need to come and see me if he takes more than half an hour. Instead, just go back where he came from!”
After saying that, he waved a dismissive hand and no longer paid the prison guard any mind.
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!”
Lowering his head, the prison guard then left.
A brief moment later, the man finally put down the Desert Eagle in his hands. His gaze turned a tad unfocused. “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. It seems that it’s also time for me to leave this hellish place!”
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in military fatigues strode toward the prison right on the dot.
The moment he stepped into the prison, the raucous place instantly plunged into silence.
Not a single sound could be heard any longer.
