Chapter 68:

Those with Guns Are Naturally More Powerful

The long table snapped in half at the waist, and plates crashed to the floor one after another.

In the blink of an eye, two inmates were entangled in a brawl, while others quickly backed away.

Veronica promptly blew the whistle and charged forward, shouting, "Stop! I told you to stop!"

In the core area, when the inmates were fighting, regular prison guards would typically have to call in the riot squad. It was challenging for them to intervene directly, given that many inmates in the core area possessed abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

The inmate who had just retaliated was clearly one of them, as the force of his shoulder throw could easily cripple an ordinary person.

However, Veronica was unfazed, She was not only the captain of the riot squad but also one of those with abilities surpassing the norm!

The attacked inmates, despite Veronica's warning, showed no intention of stopping. They continued relentlessly assaulting their assailant, seemingly intent on beating them to death.

Veronica, no longer holding back, grabbed her baton and prepared to strike the back of one of the attackers.

However, at that moment, the inmate suddenly turned alert, spun around, and threw a powerful punch aimed at Veronica's face.

Startled, Veronica instinctively raised her baton to block.

The metallic baton rang out as it clashed with the heavy punch, and Veronica felt a sharp pain in her wrist from the transmitted force.

After Stumbling backward for a couple of steps, Veronica regained her balance and looked in surprise at the inmate before her. In the core area, few inmates could match her in hand-to-hand combat.

"Well, well, Officer, you've got some skills. Want to spar a bit?" The young female inmate suddenly laughed, provocatively waving at Veronica, her eyes emitting a strange golden glow.

Veronica recognized the inmate, it was core area's Room 10 Carmilla, the Violent Dragon.

"It's really you. I told you to stop, didn't I?"

Veronica furrowed her brow, having vaguely guessed the identity when she heard the name shouted during the altercation.

However, Veronica halted her with a cold voice, "Don't move! Or I'll shoot."

Carmilla, surprised, turned her face, directly facing Veronica's raised gun, Evangeline sneak attack bought enough time for Veronica to aim.

"Hey, using a gun in a duel is cheating, isn't it?" Carmilla raised her hands in a helpless gesture.

No matter how formidable one's physical condition, they were ultimately flesh and blood.

The pistols issued to the guards in the core area used bullets specifically designed for magical beings. Even a dragon descendant would not come out unscathed from a few shots.

When it comes to a duel between a dragon descendant and a pure-blooded werewolf, having a gun in hand naturally gives an advantage.

"Who said I'm dueling with you? I've already warned you!" Veronica glared at Carmilla.

Just as she was about to order Carmilla to crouch and cover her head, the inmate that Carmilla had knocked down moments ago suddenly crawled up from the broken table.

"Carmilla!!" The inmate roared and charged at Carmilla again.

Veronica was startledthis inmate should have suffered enough damage to break several bones for a normal person, yet not only did she get up, but she also had the strength to launch another attack.

Moreover, this inmate looked extremely eeriedisheveled hair, lifeless gray-white skin and hair, with only her eyes shimmering with a haunting azure light. At a glance, she seemed like a vengeful spirit ready to claim lives.

Fortunately, Evangeline rushed over in time, performed a sweeping leg motion, tripped the inmate, and then pinned her hands from behind, disarming her of the dining knife.

Veronica finally got a clear look at this inmateSilene, the Corpse Specter, just like Carmilla, She was also a well-known figure in the core area, residing in Room 19.

"Carmilla! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!" Silene struggled while yelling.

Carmilla response was to roll her eyes, "So annoying!"

Without time to contemplate the feud between these two, Veronica quickly shouted to the other guards, "Hurry, cuff them both!"

After shouting, she turned her gaze back and, unintentionally, made eye contact with Evangeline.

After a moment of silence, Veronica nodded towards Evangeline, indicating gratitude.
