Chapter 545 Punishmen

Landon looked at the report in his hands and smiled.

Ahh!!

Apparently, the prisoners had tried their first attempt in breaking out of prison.

Well, even though this entire scenario could be considered a bad one.... for Landon and his team, it was actually an amazing way to test out some of the prison’s defence systems here.

As well as keep the guards on their toes.

They needed to be more careful when punching in security codes in future.... and they also needed to constantly check if they had their master keys on them at all times.

But what the prisoners didn’t know.... was that since all prisoner doors could be opened automatically, that means that the control security room was also keeping check on the doors at all times.

So when they saw several red lights flash above the opened cells after lights out, they had already used their Walkie talkies to communicate with each other and verify if any guard had opened the cells.

Of course in addition to that, they had also contacted Landon as well.... who told them to just let the prisoners try their luck.

And in the end, these prisoners had only passed through 8 passageways.

In addition to that, the report he had stated that they thought that the prison itself was a Mystical one whose hallways and doors change overnight.

They couldn’t find any room or place that even remotely resumed the regions that they typically visited during the day.

It was like they were in a totally different building altogether.

In short, they had a feeling that even if they had drawn a map of the place in the daytime, they wouldn’t even have time to think or figure out where they were supposed to go to... since the hallways didn’t even give them a breather to begin with.

One had to be fearful of trap doors, fire, wild animals, gases that put them to sleep, trapped pits which had thunder sparks that could fry (electrocute), rooms that grew smaller on their own.... and so on.

In short, one didn’t have the time to be looking at a map while there.

As even being absent-minded from ones surrounding could just be their end.

This morning, they found all the escaped prisoners in sorry states.

And after searching them, they found so many stolen items from the clinic and even the laundry room as well.

Well, Landon was really impressed by how patient and resourceful they had been.

It was like seeing an old crime movie come to life.

As expected of assassins and poison masters.

.

"Your majesty, this is all we know about them from our own observation and hypothesis about the matter." Said one of the head guards from the prison.

At the moment, the Warden was on a cruise trip with his family to Carona.

So the head guards were the only ones that could handle this matter alongside Landon.

Just thinking about how furious the Warden would be when he got back, made the guards feel pity for the culprits.

’Sigh.... when the Warden came back, they would be as good as dead.’ He thought.

Of course he wasnt the only one who thought so, as even the cprits lived in fear fact the Warden mighteven strangle them to death when he feasted his eyes opon them later on.

Theh had no idea that the Warden was on vacation.

So the more the Warden stayed away, the more anxious and fearful their hearts became.

Dammit!

Why were they so unlucky?

"Your majesty.... we also believe that they only stole the master key yesterday morning.

They created that whole incident just for that reason, and even injured one of our new guards in the process."

"Oh?

Have they confessed or explained the whole matter to you all?"

"No your majesty..... for now, they are still proving very difficult.

And so far, our story is only 70% accurate... as we have been piecing in all the clues together.

When we found out that they used a master key to unlock their cells, we had all guards search for their own keys immediately.

And so far, all guards that were in duty still had their keys.

So we called each guard that was off duty, and also verified if they had their keys or not.

And that’s when we found out that the injured guard seemed to have lost his keys yesterday morning..... during that chaotic incident."

"Good!.... well done.

For now, keep trying to get a detailed explanation from the culprits.

Who knows, maybe there’s something that we are missing.

And it would never hurt to make sure that none of our own men had betrayed us just to free them.

Also, try getting eyewitnesses to the whole thing too.

There are bound to be more than 2 or 3 people who witnessed them trying to escape, so try to get as much info as possible..... so that we too can better our own defences as well.

You and the men should take this entire incident as a learning experience."

"Yes, your majesty... I will do as you be commanded." The guard said confidently.

"Alright... as for their punishment, we can only decide on it when the Warden gets back.

So I need you all to schedule a meeting.... involving all the head guards in the entire prison no matter their sector, as well as the Wardens for both male and female prisons.

Of course, you also need to add; myself, the Minister of justice and defence.... and all other leaders involved in this matter.

By then, we will decide on if we should extend their time here in prison or just give them a harsher punishment for the time being."

"Eh?

So your majesty.... what you’re saying is that in the meantime, we should just let them be?" The head guard asked confusedly.

If they did that, wouldn’t these prisoners think that they won’t get punished?

"Hmhm.... for now, treat those that might’ve been injured.... and keep a close eye on the rest.

We can’t punish them twice for a single crime.

So it would be unwise to send them to a punishment room, before later deciding on what their real punishment would be." Landon said while closing up the folder before him.

He looked towards the direction of the prison and smiled slightly.

Ah!.... it was never a dull day here in Baymard.
