Andre’s name in prison was “Cooper.”
His personal information had been changed by a dark web hacker before he was sent to prison.
Cooper himself had died half a year ago. According to the dark web hacker, he had been killed by his wife, but his body had never been found. It had probably been secretly disposed of by the cult that his wife was a part of.
After all, killing an American citizen still required some risk.
Andre lay on his bed and squinted. He was pretending to be asleep. He perked up his ears so that he could remain alert to any sounds around him.
Joseph had returned to his cell. He knew what was about to happen.
Suddenly, a prisoner climbed down from the upper bunk and deliberately made a loud noise.
Andre did not pay attention to the prisoner, because a few seconds after he heard that guy deliberately make a noise, another prisoner came up from under the covers of a bed.
Although the prisoner who was sneaking up on him was very careful, he still did not escape Andre’s eyes.
Five meters…
Three meters…
Two meters…
Out of nowhere, Sergeant Eric’s voice was heard outside the cell.
“Prisoner 34027, what are you doing!”
He was startled by Eric’s voice and was a little stunned.
‘W-Why did he come back?’
Cold sweat broke out on prisoner 34027’s forehead. He turned to the side to cover himself and kicked a bottle of medication under the cell bed.
Eric shouted and did not pay attention to prisoner 34027. Instead, he looked at Joseph.
Joseph was sitting on his bed. He did not look at Andre as if he knew Eric would come back.
“Sergeant… No, Assistant Warden, I advise you to mind your own business.”
“Ha! Warden Aidan asked me to stop you.”
“What?!” Joseph jumped out of bed and glared at Eric.
“What the hell? Are you kidding me?”
Eric turned around and left as he loudly said, “Remember to watch the news tomorrow morning. Also, stop whatever it is the warden asked you to do.”
‘What?’
Joseph’s mind was full of question marks.
What was the situation?
Did something go wrong?
No, Joseph contemplated carefully for an extended period. How long had it been since he returned to his cell and gave the order to his men?
What could have gone wrong?
Could something have happened to the new warden?
Looking at Joseph’s back, Andre smiled knowingly and closed his eyes. He could sleep well tonight.
The next day, after a night of rain, the rising sun finally drove the rain clouds away.
In the Chicago Correctional Center, one could vaguely hear a cacophony of voices, and the voices were growing in volume.
Joseph sat on the bed in his prison cell and listened intently.
It seemed that the voices were coming from outside the prison.
He ordered his men to open the windows so that he could hear what they were shouting outside.
“Aidan! Executioner!”
“Aidan! Executioner!”
“Aidan! Executioner!”
What was going on?
“Hein, go and find out,” Joseph asked his right-hand man to check out what was going on outside.
When he turned around, he saw that Andre had just gotten out of bed. It seemed like he was walking in the direction of…
‘Huh?’ Joseph saw Andre walking to David’s bed. Then, he lowered his head and said something.
Not long after, Hein trotted back to Joseph.
“Boss, there’s a riot outside. A crowd of people has gathered outside the prison, and they’re holding up a big banner. What did it say again…”
Joseph glared at Hein.
Hein remembered right away.
“I remember. There were names. David, Hunt, Owen, Adrian… John, Logan, and Cooper.”
Boom!
Joseph felt as if a bombshell had landed on his head.
If his memory served him right, those were the prisoners whom the new warden, Aidan had asked him to kill.
Who leaked it?
What a shock!
The second Joseph recovered, he sent Hein to contact all the cell block leaders. He wanted to cast the net and find out what was going on outside as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun Times revised its front-page story over the night.
“New Warden’s Death List Leaked.”
After Eric had taken Joseph away last night, Andre had used the system to eavesdrop on the conversation between the new warden, Aidan and the leader of Cell Block A, Joseph.
As expected, the new warden was a ruthless character. He had just taken office, but he was already able to lock onto the seven suspects in Cell Block A.
The content that Andre heard would be posted on the Internet in the form of a chapter update.
Thanks to the imprisonment of Chicago Correctional Center’s former warden, Ryan, the novel, “Chicago Redemption” was now completely out of the picture.
Regardless of whether it spread in other circles, some media and film studios wanted to get their hands on the rights to make a film adaptation of the book.
However, they had been unable to contact the online writer, Andre. This also proved that the mysterious web author was very likely in prison.
On the online social media platforms, some fans were arguing over this issue.
“See, I told you that the great god, Andre is in prison. The one who made the bet back then, don’t leave.”
“Nonsense. If the great god is in prison, how has he not been discovered after such a long time?”
“Yeah, I think it’s strange too. Logically speaking, is it that difficult for the prison to discover a person’s secret identity?”
“A bunch of idiots. It’s very obvious that the great god is in prison. Just now, the great god updated the latest chapter. Didn’t it say that the new prison director wants to secretly kill seven prisoners? The great god, Andre must be among these seven people.”
“The analysis above makes sense. I think the same. Otherwise, why would the new warden want to kill them for no reason?”
Aidan had been able to detect the core of the issue quickly and react swiftly.
In the end, he wanted to ruthlessly kill them. With the power of Cell Block A’s leader, Joseph, it was not difficult to kill those seven people.
It was not the first time Joseph had done something like that.
To him, it was a piece of cake.
It was obvious that Joseph would not only gain the favor of Aidan, the new warden, but he would also receive some practical benefits.
Cell Block A had 20 single cells that were used for solitary confinement.
The rest were big cells with 10 to 30 people.
Coincidentally, of the seven people whom the new warden was going to kill, two of them—Andre and David—shared a cell with Joseph.
It was a cell for 20 people. Aside from Andre and David, the other 18 prisoners were all Joseph’s men.
Andre was usually very low-key, and David was also a coward.
Joseph had never looked for trouble with them.
Outside the prison, people held huge banners, and the protests continued.
They demanded to see the seven people—David, Hunter, Owen, Adrian, John, Logan, and Cooper—as proof that they were safe and had not been secretly killed by the new warden.
At this time, Aidan was in the CEO’s office, facing the fury of his boss, Christopher.
“Aidan! You disappoint me.”
