Chapter 23: Jianyu Prison Breakout

Riding the carriage Jasper asks, "But... b-but how are we going to block every prisoner from escaping?"

August grins, "I have... a plan."

He looks towards me, oh no... is he...

He nudges me, "You were a prisoner once, you can fake being one too."

I shake my head, "Nope, I don't ever want to go there again."

My words don't phase August as he points at the others, "Eloria can you pretend to be a warrior? Take Lyn inside. Jasper and Alina you guys will get the safest job to guard outside. Alina with the Wynite Earing you can be sent signals right? Eloria you hold onto that."

Alina asks, "What about you?"

He grins, "I'll orchestrate the entire thing. Our goal...is to recruit people from Jianyu Prison to our army."

".... "

Me, Alina and Jasper all shouted in unison, "WHAT!?!?!?"

August smiled, "Well of course we aren't taking the extremely violent or psychopathic ones. Through some research there are three people who were captured in Jianyu prison who are former clan members. We might be able to use them and a couple on our way as well."

Jasper tilted his head, "What research?"

August drops a file of three people, Wu-Ming Lang of the Lang Clan. Tokumei Suzuki of the Suzuki Clan, Ig Myeong-Ui of the Ig Clan. August then talked about them one by one.

"These are all last survivors of their own respective clans. Wu-Ming Lang is a criminal of Yewan and is most notorious for using a chained scythe. People call him Sishen the Silent Killer, supposably his reason for killing was for revenge against his own clan. Tokumei Suzuki a criminal of the Yoru Region and is most known to be a proud and powerful warrior. Unfortunately the Suzuki Clan used a cursed knife that made anyone who wield it strike everyone without the will of the owner killing every remaining piece of the Suzuki Clan. Tokumei wields one of the blades forged by the cursed knife which were supposed to be melted down but he seems to be able to control his anger. Last one is Ig Myeong-Ui, not much is known but he also goes by Death. The Ig clan so far only has records of his own yet was part of the Min-Seok Borum-Dal only to be kicked off for mysterious reasons. So you get the gist of it?"

Jasper intensely shakes his head, "N-no! They all sound so dangerous."

Alina was a bit confused, "They all sound... so... will they even cooperate?"

August handed me a piece of paper and smiled, "Blackmail materials."

I take and sigh, "When did you even have time to do this?"

August shrugs, "I asked Jin-Ju before we left Sudo City. She didn't suspect a thing."

Eloria glances outside, "Were almost there how's our post going to be?"

August gave us the plan one more time, as well all go to our own post. Eloria steals one of the guard garb and handcuffs me as we go in as Alina and Jasper watch from behind.

God this is scary, I never met anyone scary at Titan prison. Also this Wynite cuff is so annoying. It constantly sucks away my power to use my phantom. At least I complied back in Titan prison, they were willing to put me in a Wynite room instead of cuffs. Which by the way is so much better.

On the way the head guard stops us, "Halt, what is your purpose?"

Eloria put on her best act, "I hail from the capital. A warrior of Ywan, I have captured this monster who has been terrorizing our city."
