Moses was right about one thing.
The fiscal revenue of the Dena Region was indeed astonishingly high.
Perhaps it was because of excessive affluence that they had such a large-scale prison like Fox River Prison, which Moses considered a complete waste of money.
Now, more than 6,000 prisoners who escaped from Fox River Prison were spreading like marching ants to the surrounding cities, towns, and suburbs.
For the official institutions in the Dena Region, this situation was extremely severe.
In order to eliminate the harm caused by the escaped inmates as soon as possible, the official institutions in the Dena Region not only mobilized the military, but also offered substantial rewards for the capture of the escaped inmates.
For this purpose, they even set up an official website listing all the information about the inmates, promoting that anyone had the right to claim the rewards.
The reward amount was based on the cumulative sentence of each inmate.
One year of sentence equaled to 10,000 Jenny, so for an inmate with 500-year sentence, they are equivalent to 5 million Jenny.
Among the inmates who escaped from Fox River Prison, the minimum sentence was 326 years, and the maximum was 952 years...
That is to say—
Even if someone only catch the prisoner with the smallest sentence, they could still earn 3.26 million Jenny.
The most important thing is that, among the more than 6,000 prisoners, there are young people under the age of twenty and old people over the age of seventy.
With a bit of luck, they can easily earn millions by just catching an elderly inmate.
Therefore…
This operation in the Dena Region excited the masses, especially those daring individuals who lacked money but not courage.
Let alone bounty hunters who specialize in this matter, even the gang members, and assassins active in the underworld turned their attention to the official bounty task list released by the Dena Region.
And the horse-faced man is one such amateur bounty hunter.
Easily taking down two inmates with a combined sentence of 857 years was within his expectations.
This also means that the horse-faced man's pocket will have addition of 8.57 million Jenny.
Next, as long as he kills the remaining burly inmate with a sentence of 411 years, the reward he can eventually get will allow him to live happily in Nightless City.
However-
What was thought to be an easy task turned complicated due to the sudden eruption of power from the burly inmate.
'Is he concealing his abilities?!'
The horse-faced man's pupils shrank abruptly, and he quickly retreated.
At the same time, he pulled the wire in his hand, sending the two hanging bodies crashing towards the charging burly inmate, attempting to create a buffer of time.
But the burly inmate didn't seem to see the bodies falling from above.
He easily knocked away the fallen bodies like a raging bull, and his speed and posture showed no signs of being affected.
On the contrary, the corpse flew far away like rag dolls and hit the wall hard, making a dull sound.
'Something's wrong…!!'
Seeing this scene, the horse-faced man's heart trembled.
With such overwhelming strength and speed, there is absolutely no need to hide his abilities. Moreover, if he wanted to run away, he could have easily left him behind.
As for the possibility of caring for his companion?
Don't joke around…
These were criminals who had committed heinous crimes!
In an instant, the horse-faced man moved his hands together, looking for the right opportunity to throw iron nails at the walls on both sides of the alleyway, and in an instant, a meter-shaped steel mesh was laid out in front.
He was certain that with the current speed of the burly inmate, even if he realized it, he wouldn't be able to stop.
The fate that awaits the burly inmate would be crashing into the steel wire mesh, and having his body sliced into several pieces.
However-
The scene that the horse-faced man expected did not happen.
In his gaze, the bald inmate unexpectedly jumped in front of the steel wire mesh. His strong body leaped like a feather to a height of five or six meters, and then easily crossed the steel wire mesh and pounced over in the air.
'This guy…!!'
The horse-faced man's heartbeat quickened as he drew out the dagger he carried with him and faced the burly inmate who pounced from mid-air.
Swoosh—!
The two figures passed each other.
In the next moment, the man with the horse face let out a scream. All five fingers of his right hand were severed, and the severed fingers and the dagger fell to the sewage-covered ground.
Taking advantage of the situation in the fight, the burly inmate twisted his body in a peculiar manner and once again lunged towards the horse-faced man.
Ignoring the injuries on his right hand, the horse-faced man used his other hand to throw several iron nails towards the burly inmate. Then, he crouched down to pick up the fallen dagger.
Ding ding ding!
The burly inmate wielded his dagger to knock away the iron nails flying towards him, consciously avoiding the steel wires attached to the nails.
Crack!
His feet stomped heavily on the severed fingers lying in the sewage, and he rushed towards the horse-faced man. The dagger in his hand stabbed forward like a snake.
The horse-faced man endured the pain of his severed fingers and defended against the fierce attacks from the burly inmate.
Clang clang clang…
Sparks flew in the dim alleyway.
In a short time, the horse-faced man found it increasingly difficult to withstand the intense assault from the burly inmate.
His body was quickly carved with a deep wound by the burly inmate, followed by a second, third...
With more and more wounds, the horse-faced man was unable to hold back his screams.
Just when the horse-faced man thought he was going to die here, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and attacked the burly inmate from the side.
A muffled sound echoed.
The burly inmate's right arm holding the dagger burst into a mist of blood, and his body flew sideways, crashing heavily into the wall.
This sudden turn of events made the horse-faced man's emotions fluctuate like a roller coaster, from hell to heaven in an instant.
However, before he could see clearly who had come to his aid, he witnessed the burly inmate staggering to his feet and looking in their direction.
"Monster…!!!"
The horse-faced man had a look of horror on his face, and he was no longer as relaxed and confident as he was at the beginning.
Driven by intense fear, he turned around and ran away without hesitation, disappearing around the corner in a few seconds.
As the horse-faced man fled, the burly inmate's eyes shifted to the black figure.
The figure took two steps forward.
The colorful neon lights falling from the top of the alleyway shrouded the black figure, slowly revealing Moses's appearance.
"You damn bounty hunter, you despicable dog…"
The burly inmate cursed in a low voice, pushing off the ground in a seemingly unsteady manner, charging towards Moses. Though his movements were swaying, his speed was not slow.
Without saying a word, Moses flashed to the side of the burly inmate and a sharp vertical palm strike landed on the burly inmate's neck.
Crunch!
With a crisp sound, the burly inmate's neck caved in, his entire body tumbled heavily on the ground, sliding away for some distance before completely losing signs of life.
In the next moment, the bald prisoner's body exploded into black sludge like a firework, then soared towards Moses, and then stick onto Moses's body before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Inside the alleyway, the battle concluded, and Shadow Moses absorbed a Swamp People.
At the alley's entrance, Moses leaned against the wall of a shop, looking up at the night view of the prosperous city ahead.
"Nightless City…"
Skyscrapers towered, and the streets were bustling with activity traffic.
In every direction, colorful lights illuminated the city.
Casinos, foot baths, red light districts, bars…
Any entertainment venue imaginable to humans existed here in Nightless City, all legalized.
Tycoons, celebrities, officials, famous figures…
People from all walks of life gathered here, presenting a city that never sleeps and is filled with an intoxicating atmosphere of revelry.
"This place…"
Moses's eyes dropped, observing the bustling streets.
"Is like a black hole, and even the beasts who finally gained freedom couldn't help but be attracted to it."
