Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

This is Alpha Prison, a sinful city built on a desolate planet.

Almost every prisoner who comes here is a heinous criminal, sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court.

In the highly advanced year of Star Calendar 2301, the death penalty, an inhumane form of punishment, had long been abolished.

However, for those who have actually come to Alpha Prison, living is often more painful than dying, because—

In the eyes of these vicious criminals, there is no humanity. If one does not break federal law and has no fighting ability, then the best way out is to quietly choose to die on the first day of entering prison.

In short, welcome to Alpha Prison.

For such a unique prison that houses many madmen and psychopaths, the most important thing is to select a warden who is exceptionally capable and extremely ruthless.

This is something the federal government does every two years; almost every warden submits a resignation request after spending a significant amount of time at Alpha Prison.

There's no other reason than that this group of people is simply too terrifying.

The wardens sent there were all highly educated individuals who had received federal higher education. They could easily sing praises of the federal system, but when faced with the bloodshed and cruelty in the prison, they were terrified and their legs went weak.

Each routine patrol turned into a celebration for these criminals, and a day of suffering for the warden.

When those cold, sticky gazes scanned the warden's entire body like the sharpest venomous tongue, they all felt intense physical discomfort.

Once a resignation is approved, the first thing every warden does is go home and see a psychiatrist.

This is an extremely embarrassing and troublesome matter for the Federation.

However, this headache was resolved at this year's federal meeting.

At the roundtable discussion, lawmakers expressed their disgust for Alpha Prison:

"The criminals in Alpha Prison are all people who have committed heinous crimes. Is it necessary for us to show humanitarianism to such a group of bastards?"

"That's right, if these people were on ancient Earth, they would have been shot a hundred or two hundred times over. Why would they be kept around to continue harming the Federation!"

Many members of parliament echoed this sentiment, but their words did nothing to help with the issues being discussed today.

Speaker of the House Doug slammed his hand on the table to signal for silence. "Today, our purpose is to find a warden for Alpha Prison, not to discuss the merits of humanitarianism."

"Who among you wants to be the warden?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and an awkward silence fell over the room.

This is clearly a crematorium; anyone who jumps in is a fool.

Besides, they're perfectly comfortable being federal lawmakers, why would they want to get involved in this mess?

Doug sighed. It seemed that the Federation had no shortage of talent, but when it really needed someone to step forward, everyone remained silent.

His gaze swept over the people sitting on either side, and when he saw someone in the corner whose face was covered by a hat and he couldn't tell who it was, his eyes stopped.

The members of parliament on both sides looked in the direction he was looking, and after comparing the attendees, someone quickly whispered the man's name in Doug's ear:

"Speaker, he is the newly appointed commander of the military region, the most outstanding soldier in the entire Federation—Marshal Xie Liuyan."

Upon hearing who this person was, even Doug couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Just as he was about to speak, the man's long, slender, white fingers removed the military cap from his face, revealing his handsome features to everyone.

With waist-length silver hair, a handsome face, and cold eyes paired with a sharp yet captivating smile, he instantly captured everyone's attention.

The silver military uniform gave him a touch of unruliness, while also adding a touch of ascetic yet charming aura.

In today's era of gender equality, the council is no longer just a place for alphas to speak. There are also many beta councilors present, and they are all amazed by Xie Liuyan's appearance.

Before the crowd could recover from Xie Liuyan's appearance, he stood up first, his tone calm yet tinged with amusement:

"Are you done talking? Since no one has any ideas, then I will take on the role of warden."

These words immediately caused an uproar.

The good news is that they don't have to suffer anymore, but this outstanding and handsome alpha, whom they have only just met, may never come to the council again.

Many councilors secretly felt sorry for Xie Liuyan, and their gazes towards him were filled with regret.

Doug readily agreed when he heard that someone was willing to go:

"Since Marshal Xie has taken the initiative to propose this, I hereby formally appoint you as the warden of Alpha Prison."

"We could have postponed our departure for a few days, but we received news from the prison that there is no warden recently, and the inmates are causing a huge disturbance. So we have no choice but to ask you to set off as soon as possible."

Xie Liuyan casually swept the military cap off the table and put it on his head, making him look like a soldier who obeyed orders without question.

"It's alright. I won't do anything that isn't challenging. I'll take up my post as soon as possible."

Later, the councilors learned that the Federation Commander, whom they secretly lamented, had just come down from the front lines against the Zerg and was bored, so he had found something challenging to do.

The thought of how easily the commander-in-chief could wipe out the insectoids that were several meters long on the battlefield made them suddenly feel that the criminals were the ones most deserving of sympathy.

But these are all things for later.

Alpha Prison

Not long after the previous warden left, the group of prisoners went on a wild party.

They were all in there for serious crimes and would never get out. Life in prison is extremely monotonous, and with so much pressure, they had to find some ways to have fun.

After some discussion, they started a betting game.

Bet on how long each warden who comes to Alpha Prison will stay.

Whoever's time is closest, all the bets on the table belong to them.

Of course, trying to reason with a group of criminals is the most unreasonable thing to do, and whether they can hold onto their bets after they leave the gambling table is another matter entirely.

After settling their bets from the previous round, they began placing bets for the next round.

"I bet this warden will be gone within two months!!"

Another person retorted, "Hey, you're gambling too much. I reckon this little cutie might only stay for two days and then leave."

They laughed and placed bets at a gambling table set up in the middle of the prison, unaware that a light drizzle was starting to fall on the desolate planet that hadn't seen rain for years.

Outside Alpha Prison, someone walked in step by step with an umbrella.

The sound of boots echoed through the previously empty corridor.

"Clap."

"Clap."

At the same time, the chilling and intimidating mist fir trees quickly swept across the entire Alpha Prison.

The criminals who were making the bet were suddenly stunned. Those with lower pheromone levels immediately knelt down, muttering, "What's going on? Who? Who's here?"

The relaxed atmosphere instantly turned tense and fraught with danger. The sound of high-top boots approached from afar, as if stepping on everyone's hearts.

The oppressive force grew stronger and stronger.

Everyone's heart was pounding, waiting for that person to appear.

When Xie Liuyan reached the prison gate, many people knelt down to resist the pheromones.

In this chaotic atmosphere, Xie Liuyan, dressed in a silver military uniform, stood impeccably upright. He held a dripping umbrella in his left hand and ran his right hand across his forehead.

"Good day, everyone. I am your new warden, Xie Liuyan. From now on, you can address me by my title."

Meanwhile, in a room on the highest level of Alpha Prison, someone opened his eyes, rolled off the bed, walked to the guardrail, and looked down at everything that was happening below.

Looks like prison is going to be quite lively from now on.
