Chapter 68
The door isn’t locked, just pull it open yourself.
Recalling the Abyssal Prison, Henry rembered that in its deepest part, there seed to be a Boss guarding it.
That Boss was suitable for assassination, especially in a place like the Abyssal Prison where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
His stealth ability was utilized to its absolute limit.
At the sa ti, the other party also favored using poison attacks; in short, they wouldn’t show themselves easily.
But at this stage, that plotline hadn’t been triggered yet.
The Academy Arc of the first act hadn’t even officially begun, and he had already encountered so many troubleso matters.
He didn’t really want the ga’s progression to be interfered with.
The reason he could handle things with ease now was mostly due to the advantage of his foreknowledge.
Including the personalities of these heroines, and the relationships between many characters.
But Henry never expected that Joseph could actually be ruthless enough to imprison his own daughter.
You should know, this never happened in the ga.
After the Royal Knights escorted Henry to the prison, they quickly pushed him in and locked the cell door.
This place was pitch black, without even the most basic lighting.
People staying in a place like this for a long ti could easily fall into despair.
“I wonder how Jessica is doing. Should I go out and check?”
After the Royal Knights left, Henry first looked around, then walked to the door and casually pulled it open.
The tightly shut cell door opened as easily for Henry as if he were returning ho.
Perhaps even those Royal Knights never imagined that Henry’s physical body had reached a bizarrely formidable level.
You should know, those who could enhance their strength all relied on magic to achieve such feats.
“Looks like these door locks haven’t been repaired for a long ti. Can the Empire not afford it?”
Henry shook his head as he strolled around the prison.
Along the way, he encountered quite a few criminals.
When they saw Henry taking a walk in the corridor, their eyes were filled with shock.
“Brother, how did you escape? Give us so tips, man!”
Soone tried to reach out and grab the hem of Henry’s clothes, but Henry easily dodged it.
Henry just pointed at the door lock and said puzzledly.
“Can’t you just pull the door open? It doesn’t look locked to .”
Hearing this, so people pulled at the iron door with all their might, and so even put their feet on the iron door, yanking hard!
Looking at their flushed cheeks, you could tell they were using even more effort than when straining to defecate.
But the iron door remained completely motionless.
They suspected Henry was tricking them.
But Henry had already walked far away by now.
“This is strange, I rember there weren’t this many cells in the ga. Could soone have expanded it illegally? I must report this, I must report it!”
Dense rows of cells held all sorts of prisoners.
So were howling like ghosts and wolves, while others were wrapped up like zongzi, unable to move.
Henry increasingly felt that those who could stay in a place like this for long were either ntally ill or about to beco ntally ill.
After walking a long way down the corridor, Henry finally saw a guard watching over the prison at the end.
The other person had their hands behind their back, watching the prisoners in the cells with a smile on their face.
See, there actually are normal people in this place.
Prejudice, it was all his own prejudice!
Henry felt sad about his own prejudice for a second, but soon, he walked behind the person and poked his shoulder with his finger.
“Good evening, handso.”
Henry’s action startled the person so much that he fell to the ground, and the smile on his face disappeared.
“You… how did you escape? Where are the other guards? Didn’t they notice you breaking out of prison?”
The other man’s tongue was a bit clumsy, and seeing Henry appear was like seeing a ghost.
“Look at what you’re saying, I’m just lost. It’s not as exaggerated as breaking out of prison.”
You say a person who isn’t a guard got lost inside the prison?
Can you make up a more nonsensical lie?
The man roared internally, but he swallowed his saliva and cautiously asked.
“Then… then do you want to go out now?”
“Ah, no, I’m looking for Her Highness the Imperial Princess. I heard she was imprisoned here, but I can’t find her.”
“Imperial Princess Jessica is also imprisoned here?!”
That guard’s eyes widened, looking incredulous.
But soon, he beca excited, his expression sowhat fanatical.
“I… I’m her fan, I’ve liked Imperial Princess Jessica for a long ti, but due to my status, I basically never get to see her. It’s a real regret for .”
ntioning this, the other party seed sowhat disappointed.
But soon, the other party regained his spirits.
“I haven’t heard about Her Highness the Imperial Princess being brought here, but if you keep going further down, there are so more important prisoners held there. You can try going downward.”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Henry nodded and turned to leave.
But just before leaving, the other party called out to him again.
“That, later, could you please say hello to Her Highness the Imperial Princess for ? Just say a fan has been thinking about her.”
“Okay, no problem.”
The other party watched Henry’s figure gradually disappear, finally letting out a long sigh of relief as if he had narrowly escaped disaster.
But he turned his head again to look at the prisoner in the cell.
He took a pill from his pocket and placed it on the ground, a gentle smile reappearing on his face.
“Eat it, you won’t be in pain after eating it.”
****
Henry walked a very long way, checking every cell along the path.
He had to admit, he was being more ticulous than when he usually counted money.
But where exactly did these people hide Jessica? This isn’t so ga of hide-and-seek, is it necessary to hide her this well?
It seems Joseph isn’t treating his daughter very well either.
Henry passed by a cell, suddenly stopped, and stepped back.
He took a closer look; the prisoner in this cell was huddled in the farthest corner, looking isolated and helpless.
But Henry still rembered that outfit of hers very clearly; he had seen it just this morning!
Finally found her!
Henry knocked on the iron bars of the cell, but the person inside didn’t seem to respond, staying curled up like a stone.
“Hey, beautiful, want to see a handso guy? Just look up and you’ll see one! And it’s free!”
The curled-up Jessica seed to hear Henry’s voice.
But she thought she was hallucinating.
How could Henry appear in a place like this?
It seed her willpower was too weak; she was actually imagining Henry being here…
Jessica laughed at herself mockingly.
She slowly raised her head, but what she saw was Henry outside the cell showing off his muscles!
Her mouth slightly opened, her pupils constricting sharply in an instant.
A thousand words were completely stuck in her throat at this mont.
She didn’t know how Henry got here, but he was right in front of her now.
“Hen… Henry?”
“You’re actually srized? Looks like I do have so charm after all.” Henry was very satisfied with Jessica’s reaction; it was undoubtedly a form of affirmation for him!
