The Warden of The Wi Chapter 81:

Chapter 81:

Cards in Hand

"So, you've co again to seek my wisdom?" philia said while playing her cards.

"Is that not allowed?" Aiden questioned.

"Of course, to win this kind of card ga, you must use every card at your disposal. I appreciate your audacity in boldly exploiting even the divine," philia smiled, narrowing her eyes.

Though Aiden hadn't responded to Carmila's proposed deal earlier, he had long harbored thoughts of dealing with the underworld figure.

He cared little for gang conflicts, and Carmila spending eight years in prison due to a rival's cunning moves was her own affair. However, the situation changed when Silaine turned into a revenant and infiltrated the Rose Prison.

Silaine's son was murdered, and she chose to transform into a revenant intentionally to seek revenge within the confines of the Rose Prison. This caused him and other prison guards considerable distress.

If Silaine's revenge was rely orchestrated by Carlo Polpo to deceive her into relinquishing her compensation money, then he was the mastermind behind their current hardships.

In other words, this underworld figure was causing trouble for them.

Carmila had a vengeful nature; if she claid she would kill Carlo after her release, she would undoubtedly follow through.

Although Aiden hadn't explicitly said it, he wasn't one to swallow his pride.

As he had once told to Jialong Rowton, who falsely accused Veronica and sent her to prison, he is a person who hold grudges. If a prisoner caused trouble for him, he would surely give them a taste of their own dicine.

Now that soone else was causing trouble in his prison, he would undoubtedly reciprocate with interest.

Moreover, this Carlo Polpo, judging by his extensive experience with countless criminals, he appears to be a thoroughly despicable scoundrel. Dealing with such a character requires no restraint.

However, Aiden maintains a realistic perspective on himself.

In this world, he is neither a noble emperor nor a legendary powerhouse capable of world-shaking feats; he is simply a prison warden.

Even though he holds several Crimson Alert-level criminals under his command, eliminating a underworld figure or even crushing an entire gang would likely be well within his capabilities.

But, he cannot afford to take such actions, as doing so would make him the one ending up behind bars.

Regardless of whether it's a struggle between underworld forces or lawful entities, certain rules must be followed. If a gang were so easily defeated, the police force would have eradicated all the gangs from the old city district long ago.

"I do have my limits in the cards I hold," Aiden continued to play his cards. "Beyond the prison walls is not my ho turf. Running recklessly into soone else's territory ans facing uncertain consequences."

He understands his dominance within the prison he manages, thanks to the resources at his disposal. rely underestimating his influence in this prison led lusine to fall into his hands.

However, outside the prison, the dynamics change.

Initiating an attack against an underworld figure might require shifting the battleground to their territory.

After all, the gangs excel at ho-field advantage, with their influence scattered throughout their turf.

To overturn this disadvantage, the only solution he could think of was to leverage the strategic prowess of the goddess of conspiracy, philia.

"I advise you not to underestimate the resources you have on hand," philia reminded Aiden as she used her telekinesis to draw cards from the deck. "Look, you currently possess a significant figure who can easily shake the external underworld forces, don't you?"

"A significant figure?" Aiden played a card and subconsciously trying to recall.

For a mont, he couldn't think of anyone fitting that description. In his prison, there were indeed so inmates with underworld connections, but they were either insignificant minor players or had fallen from grace.

In the n's prison, you may still be able to find a few big bosses who are still very influential even though they are in prison. But here?, the sample of prisoners in the won's prison he manages is still too small.

"Do you need to think so much? It's the female inmate who recently caused trouble in your prison, the one you recently tad. I believe her na is...
