Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

"Brother Han, are you leaving now? Aren't we going to have dinner together tonight?"

"I'm not eating, you guys eat, I have things to do tonight." At this moment, Han Che had no appetite; all he could think about was getting back to the prison as soon as possible to see what was going on.

"Boss Han, we were thinking of throwing you a celebration banquet," Xiao Bai said, trying to persuade him to stay.

"There's nothing to celebrate, we'll talk about it later."

When Xiao Bai heard Han Che say there would be a future, her furrowed brows relaxed a little. "Will you come again for the next operation?"

"We'll see. I'll contact you in advance if I'm coming."

"Okay, it's a deal then." We can't push him too hard now; it's already good enough that he's still willing to come. "Boss Han, where are you going? I'll drive you!"

"No need, I'll take the bus."

"No way! How can we let Boss Han take the bus by himself? Mule, you take him there."

"Yes, sir!" With that, the mule took the car keys and ran in front of Han Che to open the door.

He had no choice but to have the mule take him to his hotel first, and then find an opportunity to go back later.

"Brother Han, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Mule asked.

"Um, I have something to do tonight..." Han Che replied evasively.

Seeing that Han Che was unwilling to say more, Mule stopped asking and chatted idly.

Han Che's mind was not on this at all; at this moment, he made up his mind to buy a car himself.

It wasn't until late at night that Han Che came out of the hotel, avoided people's sight, jumped into the river outside the teleportation portal, and returned to Tide Prison.

……

"System! Calculate prison losses!" Han Che called the system as soon as he returned.

[Tidal Prison is now closed. Today, the prison was invaded by 18 player operators, and 8 players successfully evacuated.]

[Current prison account balance: 570 million HAF coins]

[Current private account balance: 900 million HAF Coins]

[Current prison assets: 3500 million; remaining unredeemed Hafk assets: 5000 million]

[18 prison guards died today. Should they be resurrected? Note that if resurrection is not attempted within 24 hours, it will be impossible to revive them.]

"Resurrect them all!" Han Che commanded.

[Resurrecting, please wait...]

[Resurrection successful, total cost 270 million, prison account has 300 million remaining]

"..." This number clearly indicates that Da Yong also died in this operation.

While I was away from prison, both my prison account balance and my personal account balance increased.

However, this time, there were significant losses again.

Han Che emerged from the evacuation point of the prison cell. Without the post-operation cleanup by the prison guards, traces of the battle could be seen all along the way.

As the order to revive was given, prison guards gradually got up.

Now, they see prisoners moving around outside their cells.

"Your Excellency the Warden..." Shi Ding walked in to report as soon as Han Che returned to his office.

"What happened?"

Han Che looked at Shi Ding, whose clothes were covered in blood and who was in a sorry state. It was clear that Shi Ding had rushed over as soon as he was resurrected.

"Your Excellency Warden, it was my dereliction of duty," Shi Ding said, bowing his head in self-reproach.

Han Che remained silent, gazing at Shi Ding and listening quietly.

"When the prison first opened, everything was normal. We followed your instructions and did not excessively obstruct player operators."

"Two teams of players quickly entered the core area. I led a few prison guards to briefly stop them. After exchanging fire with us, they left shortly afterward."

Shi Ding paused, sighed, and continued.

"Up to this point, everything was normal. Suddenly, I received a report that a player had accepted the Black Tide operation."

"Instantly, the tide generation device inside the prison was activated, flooding the prison with water."

"I immediately sent prison guards to stop them in order to prevent it from causing a greater impact."

"But somehow, all the prisoners left their cells one by one."

"Including that raven, and his four henchmen."

At this point, Shi Ding gritted his teeth.

"As soon as they came out, it caused huge chaos, and prisoners and guards started exchanging fire."

"Raven, along with his four hammer-wielding soldiers, went directly to the administrative district."

"Da Yong and I led the men to confront Raven, trying to stop them and force them back to their cells..."

"I was so naive!" Shi Ding gritted his teeth, his tone full of self-reproach. "I thought they had been very cooperative before, and even went back to their cells on their own, so I assumed they were someone I could communicate with properly."

"But unexpectedly, as they got closer, the four men with the big hammers suddenly attacked and surrounded Dayong."

"I didn't fight Crossing the Raven... He's too strong!" Shi Ding said, his head bowed, his voice almost choked with tears. "I told the other brothers to hide... It's all my fault, I've ruined our lives!"

Seeing his subordinates like this, Han Che felt a pang of heartache.

"It's alright, they've all been resurrected, not one missing." Han Che's tone was unexpectedly calm, which surprised even himself.

Where are they now?

"I...I don't know..." Shi Ding's voice trembled.

Han Che stood up, walked to Shi Ding's side, and patted him on the shoulder. "This is not your fault. I didn't know they would come out, and I didn't expect them to actually break out of prison."

"If only I were stronger, if only I could have defeated the Raven, my brothers wouldn't have been defeated so easily."

Han Che remained silent. Defeating Raven was no easy task. Raven was a map boss just like himself, and even Han Che himself was wary of those four hammer-wielding guys.

"Have the surviving brothers investigate where the prisoners went after their escape."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away!" Hearing the warden's command, Shi Ding rallied his spirits and immediately began contacting the prison guards via radio.

A few minutes later, Shi Ding reported, "Your Excellency the Warden, we've found Raven and the others."

"Where?"

"Uh... they didn't escape at all; they went back into the cell," Shi Ding replied incredulously.

"They didn't escape? What about the other prisoners?" Han Che frowned and pressed for an answer.

"The other prisoners all returned to their own cells."

Shi Ding listened to the report from the surviving prison guard through his earpiece and replied to Han Che incredulously.

"Come on, come with me to the jail." Han Che slammed his hand on the table, his tone filled with anger.

"Your Excellency Warden, should we call the brothers along?" Shi Ding asked. "At least the personal guard."

Han Che shook his head, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Alright, call the personal guards."

Within minutes, the bodyguards had assembled in the office. Han Che walked over to Da Yong and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, Warden," Da Yong replied, then, as if remembering something, added, "I'm still Da Yong."

Han Che nodded. "Are those hammer soldiers difficult to deal with?"

"This is tough! The four of them are right up against me, and my equipment is too bulky to move around freely."

"Okay, take this opportunity to find your place so that you won't let anyone get close to you in the future."

"Understood." Dayong nodded.

"Come on, follow me to the cell. I'm going to meet Raven." Han Che put on his white mask, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the office.
