Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 338 - 326: A Different Prison Warden, Zhang Family’s Zhang Ming’s Gesture of Goodwill, Big Brother?

Chapter 338: Chapter 326: A Different Prison Warden, Zhang Family’s Zhang Ming’s Gesture of Goodwill, Big Brother?

After thanking Zou Shi, Chu Feng slowly pushed open the wooden door.

As he touched the door, he involuntarily grew tense, with images of the archetypal "Prison Warden" from movies he had seen in his past life popping into his head.

Gloomy, sinister, brutal, crude, bloody, greedy... There were all types, with not a single good one among them.

However, since he was there, he took comfort in the fact that considering the warm reception from everyone in the prison, the warden probably harbored no ill will towards him.

So, he steeled his heart and forcefully opened the door.

Contrary to his expectations, behind the wooden door was a spacious, tidy, and well-lit room.

The air in the room was filled with a faint, refreshing fragrance; a soft plush carpet lay at the entrance, and the leather shoes and slippers on the shoe cabinet were arranged neatly, with a black umbrella standing beside them.

The large window panes were wiped so clean that they were transparent, and the brilliant sunlight streamed through the windows, evenly casting a layer of golden luster on each item.

Seeing this scene, Chu Feng almost thought that he had traveled through time upon opening the door, stepping straight into someone’s living room.

Moreover, this home must have a very tidy lady of the house to keep the room so well-organized.

It was not until his gaze landed on a large mahogany desk at the center of the room that he realized this was, in fact, an office.

Sitting behind the desk was a refined man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who was bent over, busily writing something on the desk.

The opening of the door was silent, but the man behind the desk sensed someone entering and immediately looked up toward the door.

Upon seeing Chu Feng’s face, he revealed a surprise and warm smile, "Is that Captain Chu Feng? Please, come in!"

"Uh, hello, Warden, I am Chu Feng. Sorry for the interruption," Chu Feng said and walked confidently into the office.

"Captain Chu Feng, hello, I’m finally seeing you in person!"

The man stood up to greet Chu Feng, shook hands with him, then gestured toward the leather sofa beside the desk, saying with a smile, "Please, have a seat!"

He sat back down in his office chair and with a smile said to Chu Feng, "Let me introduce myself, I am the warden of Yan Capital’s maximum-security transfer prison, Zhang Ming."

"I’m very glad to meet you here; you are the Demon Extermination Army’s best friend!"

Chu Feng: "..."

The Demon Extermination Army has this habit, always welcoming and happy no matter where they are...

I would be happy too if it were some place else, but in prison, it’s a bit awkward.

With these mocking thoughts in mind, Chu Feng touched his nose and smiled, "You flatter me, Warden Zhang. I was just performing my duties as a commissioned officer in the military."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming laughed and shook his head, "No need to be so formal. In fact, I have been paying attention to you for quite some time; we have quite a deep connection."

Hmm?

Chu Feng was surprised, yet he had no recollection of the man before him.

Zhang Ming adjusted his glasses, saying with a smile, "I’m from the Jinmen Zhang Family. Do you remember Zhang Jing? He’s my cousin."

Instantly, the image of a mild-mannered middle-aged man appeared in Chu Feng’s mind, and he realized, "I remember now!

"On the day of the Martial Arts Grand Exam, Mr. Zhang Jing had a conversation with me; he wanted me to join the Zhang Family." (Chapter 47)

On that day, Zhang Jing tried to win him over by asking directly, "Do you want a wife or not," using the lure of a beautiful woman.

If it weren’t for his dedication to martial arts and Wang Xuerui, he might have been squeezed dry by the Zhang Family’s young mistress by now!

Zhang Ming continued with a smile, "That’s right, after his failed attempt to invite you, he always felt it was a pity, thinking you were a promising young man.

"If you had joined the Zhang Family, you would have shone brightly and become a pillar of the Zhang Family.

"But to think, in just a short while, you’ve already become renowned far and wide.

"The Zhang Family’s small pond can no longer contain you."

Zhang Ming said, shaking his head with a smile.

...

The moment Zhang Ming revealed his identity, Chu Feng became extremely vigilant inside.

After all, the Zhang Family was one of the three major families in Longhua and a natural ally of the Lin Family.

However, the Zhang Family’s attitude towards him had always been ambiguous, and they did not join the alliance organized by the Lin Family’s noble clans.

Of course, the enemy of an enemy was not necessarily a friend, and Zhang Family could hardly be called an enemy of the Lin Family, so Chu Feng could not be sure how sincere his enthusiasm was.

He decided to ask directly, "Does the Zhang Family have any thoughts on our promotion of the Composite Technique?"

Zhang Ming shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Before the Zhang Family, I am first and foremost a colonel in the Demon Extermination Army, prioritizing the interests of the army."

"You helped the Demon Extermination Army take down a Demon Clan camp without any casualties, and your Composite Technique greatly improved the warriors’ adaptability on the battlefield. As a member of the Demon Extermination Army, I support you.

"As for the Zhang Family, our new generation has already started to practice the Composite Technique!"

After throwing out this piece of news that could topple all Noble Clans and earn curses at the Zhang Family for being ’traitors,’ he proudly laughed,

"Our Zhang Family has never feared challenges.

"Our ancestors founded the Zhang Family with nothing but bare hands and sheer determination.

"We, their descendants, will not lose the courage to compete fairly with others on the same starting line!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng gave his solemn respect and thumbs up to the spirit of the Zhang Family.

If only all the Noble Families could think this way, it would save him so much trouble!

...

The two chatted merrily, discussing everything from Cultivation Techniques to marriage. Zhang Ming repeatedly invited Chu Feng to join the Zhang Family, but Chu Feng graciously declined each time.

They talked for over half an hour until Chu Feng showed a hint of fatigue, which made Zhang Ming suddenly laugh, "Look at this bad habit of mine, when I find someone I can talk to, I just go on and on without a care, totally neglecting other matters!"

Chu Feng laughed, "Not at all, Brother Zhang, you flatter me. It’s just that I’m not feeling very well."

"Oh?"

Zhang Ming’s eyes glanced over and spotted the Arms-Sealing Lock on Chu Feng’s hand, and his brow furrowed as he said, "The court has gone a bit too far. They’ve already transferred you, yet they still make you wear this thing?

"No wonder you feel fatigue; it’s because you’re under dual suppression."

With a flick of his finger, the Arms-Sealing Lock directly broke into two pieces, clattering to the ground, "You don’t need to wear this thing while you’re with your big brother. I trust your character."

Chu Feng rubbed his sore wrist and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Zhang. Oh, there’s another matter I want to ask about."

Zhang Ming laughed, "Go ahead, as long as it isn’t an immediate release, I can make the decision for you."

"It’s like this, I had a bit of a lucky encounter earlier and was able to open Grotto Heaven ahead of time, but I remember Captain Zou mentioning that upon entering prison, all Spatial Equipment must be turned over.

"What should I do in my case?"

Zhang Ming was taken aback, having never encountered such a situation before.

He thought for a moment and asked half-jokingly, "Tell big brother the truth, you don’t have any high-explosive bombs in your Grotto Heaven, do you?

"Do you have a plan to blow up the prison and your big brother along with it?"

Chu Feng waved his hands, "Not at all, not at all, how could I? I’m a law-abiding good citizen, I wouldn’t do anything reckless."

Hmm... good citizen...

Zhang Ming laughed, "Cave Heaven Warriors aren’t held in this place, so for your situation, we don’t yet have a corresponding routine protocol.

"Since you, little brother, have given your word, I trust you and won’t place any restrictions on your Grotto Heaven.

"However, the items here belong to the state and can’t be taken out."

Chu Feng smiled wryly, "Brother Zhang jests. I don’t have the habit of filching things, thank you for looking after me!"

Zhang Ming waved his hand and laughed, "In this life, we are but brothers, there is no need for such formality between us!"

...

After seeing Chu Feng to the door and instructing Zou Shi to take good care of him, Zhang Ming closed the wooden door and returned to his desk.

Looking at Chu Feng’s file on the table, his eyes, hidden behind the lenses, flickered slightly with who-knows-what thoughts.

"Good citizen, huh..."

A moment later, he slowly took out a communicator and dialed a call.

"Zhang Ming from the Zhang Family."

"I’m looking for Lin Zonghong."

...

Upon leaving the office, Chu Feng chatted with Zou Shi as they headed to the jail’s registry to check-in and "check into" the facility.

Unintentionally, he looked back at the direction of Zhang Ming’s office, his eyes flickering just as much.
