The audience couldn't hold back their comments,
...
: As expected, prison is really full of talent.
: Damn, this is killing me with laughter. The IPC really has guts, locking up all these geniuses here. If I were the warden, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
: That con artist is insane, damn, he completely tricked the prison guards.
: They probably just lacked a leader before, but now with a genius like Hanunuee, who has successfully orchestrated a turmoil before, the quality of their rebellion has instantly leveled up...
----------------------------------
The barrage of comments flashed past.
Meanwhile, time in the story began to skip forward rapidly.
In the Frontier Prison, there was a zoning system— dividing the prison into different sections for better management.
Someone like Hanunue figured out the entire prison's operational structure within the first week.
Then, relying on his charisma and his cold, disdainful snorts, he successfully became the leader of his section.
Under his command, the plans for stockpiling supplies and crafting weapons were progressing smoothly.
A massive team was also forming.
Yet, the careless prison guards failed to notice anything unusual.
After all, they still wielded unchecked power here, freely torturing the prisoners at will— including Hanunue, the so-called "prison section leader"!
These guards were well aware of Hanunue's reputation, but they simply scoffed at it.
On the contrary, his title of "prison section leader" only piqued their interest even more.
In their eyes, someone who could rise to such a position in a den of criminals was all the more deserving of humiliation and abuse.
They would frequently shame Hanunue in public, insulting and beating him.
But Hanunue never resisted.
He simply stood tall, spine straight, and responded with nothing but a cold snort of contempt.
This reaction only fueled the guards' sadistic rage. "A so-called prison section leader? What a joke!"
Hanunue's behavior made the guards oblivious to the real threat.
They never realized that the prisoners in this section had already become a united force.
They didn't even bother reporting anything!
All these events combined gradually deepened Hanunue's character in the eyes of the audience.
Previously, when Hanunue was accused of plotting a turmoil on a huge scale, viewers struggled to grasp the full weight of the charge.
But after watching this part of the story, they finally understood.
...
: No wonder he could orchestrate a rebellion that shook an entire star system… This guy is truly capable of great things.
: If I were as skilled as Hanunue, I'd have already taken out those damn guards… But then again, that would ruin the bigger plan.
: He deliberately used this method to lull the prison management into complacency, even enduring public humiliation while secretly ensuring absolute loyalty from his people. Holy shit, what kind of next-level mastermind is this?
: A true leader doesn't sweat the small stuff… A real man knows when to endure and when to strike.No wonder Hanunue is destined for greatness.
: Incredible. Next, the riot has to begin, right?
: The more I watch, the more I see how arrogant the IPC is. How could they let someone like Hanunue roam so freely in this prison?
...
The audience continued watching.
As more and more supplies were stockpiled, the moment Hanunue had been waiting for finally arrived.
On a certain late night, with the help of his prison brothers, Hanunue seized control of the entire prison section's system.
Using the surveillance system, they manipulated the patrolling guards.
Then, led by a skilled conman, they disguised themselves in guard uniforms— armed with supplies, they left through the prison's logistics department without encountering any resistance.
Once the most critical supplies were smuggled out, the real riot began!
Under Hanunue's command, the long-oppressed prisoners finally broke free from their cages.
By the time the guards realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Countless inmates, starved for freedom, rushed out of their cells, weapons in hand, merging into an unstoppable tide!
The outnumbered guards stood before this flood of rage, like mere pebbles before a crashing wave.
"We want freedom!"
"Long live freedom!"
"Follow Brother Hanunue and charge!"
"Hmph!"
At the forefront of the raging river— stood the towering figure of Hanunue!
He held a flag in his left hand and a weapon in his right.
Like a lighthouse, he guided the furious torrent to follow in his footsteps.
And facing them— were a hundred or so trembling prison guards.
They felt as if even the guns in their hands had gone soft.
They could hardly believe it— The prisoners, who had always been as docile as sheep, had suddenly become so violent.
"No, no retreat! I've already sounded the alarm. It won't be long before reinforcements arrive!" A mid-level manager spoke as he secretly swallowed his saliva and quietly stepped back…
Seeing the overwhelming surge of people about to drown them, the subordinates suddenly threw down their weapons and ran.
Risking their lives for just a few hundred credits a month? No way!
As the prison guards retreated, the entire prison block became a paradise for the prisoners.
They gathered everything they could get their hands on, and swaggered out of the cell block, heads held high, following Hanunue.
That night— the entire Asdana Frontier Prison was in chaos.
The riot caused by Hanunue spread to other prison blocks, sending shockwaves through the prisoners still bound in chains.
"Who is Hanunue?"
"Seems like that infamous felon who orchestrated the Montour System turmoil."
"They actually broke out!"
Ignoring prison rules, the inmates clung to their cell doors, excitedly chatting with their fellow prisoners.
But before long— prison guards stormed in, beating anyone in sight with their clubs, even though this jailbreak had nothing to do with them.
"Shut up! Get back to your rooms and sleep!"
But this time— the guards found that their words didn't carry as much weight as before.
Many prisoners began looking at them differently.
In the end, only brute force managed to subdue the inmates.
This jailbreak sequence— had the audience's blood boiling.
Especially the moment when the prisoners, led by Hanunue, swaggered out of the prison— it was simply electrifying.
...
: Absolutely badass. Hanunue doesn't just have immense charisma, capable of uniting people from different backgrounds and beliefs.
: He also immediately grasped the entire social structure of the prison, found the cracks, gradually expanded them, and ultimately succeeded in escaping.
: A born leader! No wonder that even after all this time, Hanunue remains a household name in Penacony.
: It's just a pity… that by the time the main story starts, we already know what his fate will be…
