New law of Beast Taming

’Sheesh, what kind of crime did this woman commit? The chief is personally here to escort her into the prison. I never thought I would see the day.’

The guard looked at the chief with a surprised expression. But then he calmed down and decided to think objectively. He was sure the new inmate, he would admit, had severe charges.

Why else would their chief personally escort someone into the detention centre without a trail?

"Hey, did you understand everything I am asking you to do? I do not want any mistakes happening once I leave this detention centre."

Sean asked the guard. His stern voice caused the guard to instantly snap out of his thoughts and give a salute back.

"Yes, sir. I understand what you want us to do."

The guard assured Sean. The guard stood tall, his pose confident to portray his trustworthiness. But Sean could not find the confidence to believe in the guard.

Still, this was the plan they had decided on. And Sean could tell that Yoko was getting impatient as well. So, he decided to cut the theatrics and retreat for the day.

’It’s in your hands from here on, Yoko. Good luck, and I hope you do not get caught.’

Sean sighed and decided to end the conversation.

"I will leave everything in your capable hands. If anything happens, call me. I want to be informed about the slightest happening inside this detention centre. Do you understand?"

Sean asked the guard. The guard nodded, his eyes filled with admiration and patience. He waited for Sean to leave before he showed his authentic colours.

"You! I do not know what kind of crime you committed, but don’t you dare think this detention centre is easy to live in and control."

"If you do not want to live a simple life, keep your head down. Or else-"

The guard tried to intimidate Amane. He got into Amane’s personal space and caged her body with his bigger one

Even if their chief had warned him to be careful, the guard was not worried. Amane was a petite female whose powers were locked before being thrown here. There was no way for Amane to hurt the guard. Read new chapters at freewebnovel

’I am sure this fragile girl would cry and beg me to go easy on her. Maybe this will be wrong after all. This child also looks pretty, so maybe I can have fun along the way."

The guard nodded to himself and looked at Amane. As soon as he opened his mouth, the guard felt the atmosphere tense.

Instead of looking intimidated or even fearful, Amane had an amused expression. How she looked at the guard reminded him of Lady Suzuki’s glare when she looked at her subordinates.

Amane had no interest in the guard or what he was proposing. But she did not want to stop the guard in his rant because she thought the guard was hilarious.

Being subjected to such looks made the guard fume in fury. It distracted him from his words, and the guard turned red-faced.

"What do you think you are doing? Do my words sound funny to you? Don’t cross any lone here. If I want to, I can easily make your life worse than hell."

The guard warned Amane. But once again, Amane did not look intimidated.

"You can make my life worse than hell? I doubt that. But if you want to try, then go ahead. Ah, but I must remind you I have an appointment in two days. You might want to curb your temper for that long. What if I tell Sean about your true nature."

The guard was frightened and angered at the same time. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

"D-Do you think chief would believe you? A heinous criminal like you does not deserve mercy. Y-You, lock her up in her cell now."

The guard was taken aback and stuttered when ordering his subordinate to take Amane into custody.

The poor guard who was singled out to escort Amane looked sick. His sick complexion made Amane take pity on the guard, and she decided to go easy on him.

The new guard closed his palm around Amane’s arm and led her inside. His moments were gentle, and his personality looked meek.

He was not a good fit for the prison.

"Are you alright? You look…sick. Is it even safe for you to be here?"

Amane was not as concerned as her voice would have one believe. But she did feel sorry for the guard. A sick person should not force themselves to work, no matter how much money they need.

"I…am not sick. I have a pale complexion and a delicate condition. The Warden likes to use me because of this. Inmates either consider me an ’easy target’ or sympathise with me and do not give me a hard time."

The guard admitted causally, but Amane could tell he was in pain and hiding it.

Since the guard did not want to admit his illness, Amane did not push him for it either. She quietly entered her room and took a quick round.

This place was decent for a detention centre. The bed was clean, and the bathroom looked hygienic as well. It exceeded Amane’s expectations in a good way.

"Your room had a camera to record you all the time. So, try not to do anything funny. Also, meal timings are fixed. If you miss one, then you are out of luck. The work schedule is also set. You can check your timetable for all related inquiries."

"I hope you get released soon."

The guard locked Amane’s door behind him. But a meagre lock would not keep Amane in her cell for long.

Once Amane was sure no one was in the hallway, she opened her lock and walked out of her cell. The corridor only had a few rooms like hers. Beyond that was a standard detention centre where everyone sat in their cells.

Some people even had to share their space with a roommate because of a lack of space.

At first, no one noticed Amane. She had been suppressing her aura so no one could catch her walking around.

It was not until Amane walked halfway across the hall that another inmate noticed her.

"Hey, girly, you are a new face around here. What did you do to land yourself in this detention centre?"

The inmate asked as Amane walked past his cell. Once he called out, the other inmates also got curious about Amane.

"What did you do?"

"Did you steal something important? Kill someone important?"

"Did you destroy some national secrets? How old are you?"

"Now they even send kids like you down here? I feel sorry for you, kid. Here, come to me. I will comfort you. Hehe he…"

The other inmates continued to poke fun at Amane’s situation. There was little to do down here, and these people wanted to entertain themselves.

The noises kept on getting louder and louder. Soon, it became loud enough for the guards to interfere. The Warden strolled down toward the locking cells and looked at and yelled in an annoyed voice.

"Shut up! What has gotten you all so excited? I will make you all regret it if you."

The Warden’s yelling did not affect the inmates. They all knew he was a fraud who could only move his mouth. The Warden had gotten his position due to nepotism, and his right-hand man was doing his actual work.

Seeing his words having no effect made the Warden jealous and worried. He knew that he needed to establish his authority.

"Hey, come in here. I think these fuckers need a lesson taught to them."

The warden’s earlier words did not dent these inmates’ attitudes. But as soon as he called his right-hand man, they calmed down. The warden was jealous of his subordinate. But he had to pretend like he was not.

The large-framed, intimidating man entered the corridor and cracked his fist. He looked at the other inmates and asked them to settle down with his eyes.

’Ah, now I know how the useless warden keeps this detention centre in check. That is another I will dock him off for.’

Amane had not been asked to investigate the detention centre staff undercover. But she might as well do it. Sean needed to know what was going on here.

"Hah! You all are not as high and mighty as you pretend to be. Now, settle down. And you! What are you doing out of your room? How did you even get out of your room in the first place? The door is supposed to stay locked until it is time."

The warden sounded surprised to see Amane walking outside. He was confident that she had been locked up.

"What a fool you are. Do you think that useless lock would be enough to keep me locked up? I know you were a fool, but I did not expect you to be such a big fool."

Amane taunted the warden, and she watched his face turn from ordinary to white and then red. The warden was having a hard time keeping a calm expression.

"I…you…that…how dare you question my authority? You! Get her and teach her a lesson she will not forget. Hurry up and do it!"

The warden ordered his second-in-command to deal with Amane. He was confident that Amane would lose.

After all, even if Amane was in power, her powers were sealed up. This detention centre was his turn and no one else’s.
