I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Chapter 146: Different from Plan


The entire hierarchy of the unnamed prison had changed, especially on the floor where Leo was kept.

On the first day of his arrival, Leo had already made everyone believe that he was a dangerous existence that couldn't be threatened.

He was unanimously considered the strongest prisoner of the floor. Many people were curious about the crimes that he had committed that he was the first person to be sent to this prison.

Some even believed that this prison was made especially for him, and the rest of them just happened to be extras.

Within the next two days, many had started calling Leo, boss. He had taken the title from the previous person, yet that person didn't complain.

Within three days of his arrival, he had completely changed the hierarchy. And in the next four days, he got to know the prisoners, learning their personal stories, and the reason they were in this place.

If the first three days were for taking the top place by making them scared, then the next four days were to understand them and win their favor.

Within a week, Leo had turned the prisoners that were erased from history, into his fans.

By the end of the week, the people didn't really look at Leo with just fear. There was also respect hidden in their gaze.

It was only the eighth day when Leo started asking them if they wanted to be free from this place.

There was not a single person who said that they didn't want to be free. After all, they all wanted to have their revenge on the powerful people that unfairly locked them up here.

Once he received their answer, Leo asked, "What if I help you? What if I grant you freedom?"

Leo's words made the entire place go silent.

The silver skinned man looked at Leo in disbelief. "Is that even possible?"

It was only after he finished asking the question that he realized how foolish it sounded.

The collars were their biggest problem and the man claimed to be able to block them. He could freely move between the floors. So why would he be able to free them?

"If you can free us... We will never forget this favor!" The man slammed his head on the ground.

Leo looked at the others, and they all did the same thing, as if expressing their intent.

"What if I tell you that after freeing you, I'm planning to establish an agency that only works for me? What if I say that you might have to get your hands dirty for me?" Leo asked.

The people looked a little confused. Why would an ancient need someone like them to get their hands dirty? However, they soon understood the reason.

To handle minor things, will an ancient really have to step forward? They would most probably be for handling things that Leo was too tired to handle.

"If I can get freedom to have my revenge, I'm willing to work for you for as long as you don't discard me!"

The first person to speak up was the silver haired man. And Leo understood why that was the case.

After all, that man was the most desperate for freedom. It was because of what happened to him.

"We are willing as well!" The others also exclaimed in a loud voice, their expressions turning solemn.

Anything was better than being locked up in this place. At least they could see their families, even if it was from far away. At least they could kill those that betrayed them!

Without the slightest hesitation, hundreds upon hundreds of criminals agreed to Leo's offer in exchange for freedom.

"Good. Then stay ready. Before the next week is over, I will grant you freedom... We will walk out of this place together."

"However, before that..." Leo mumbled, looking at the lower floors.

He was curious about what kind of prisoners were present there. It was clear that he couldn't fool them this easily. He was quite conflicted if he should approach them, or not.

After discussing a few more minor things, Leo dismissed the meeting, and told everyone to go back to their usual spots, giving him privacy.

Only after Leo was completely alone, he brought out the encrypted device that he had stolen, or rather, borrowed from the Galactic Union Leader.

He fired a message, but he didn't stop after only one. He messaged more than one person with the next set of instructions.

"My initial plans behind getting arrested was to let this issue reach a boiling point before I exposed their collaboration with Lionel Family. But I didn't expect them to give me such an opportunity. "

The corner of his lips crept up as he mumbled, "Please don't mind if I take this opportunity with both my hands."

....

"You expect us to believe that?!" Meanwhile, another place, Blaze was arguing with Vex who had arrested Leo.

Vex, at the moment, had a few scars on his body that he hadn't healed.

"You think I'm joking? You think I want the world to know that a criminal managed to run away while injuring me? Believe me, I want to find that prisoner more than you do! It's about my reputation!"

Vex maintained the story that Leo had managed to escape, no matter how many times he was asked this question.

In fact, he had already activated the entire agency to search for Leo, pretending as if it was a real search.

In the name of search, the agency had even started hounding Leo's friends' supporters.

"You..." Blaze clenched his fist, about to respond that Leo could never do such a thing.

However, just then, a notification chime came from his pocket.

As he checked the notification, his expressions swiftly changed.

Without saying anything, he turned around and walked away.

....

In another place, Leo's Bank's deputy manager also received a message with a set of instructions.

"This is different from what we planned... Will it be fine?" the giant deputy manager mumbled, but he still followed the instructions.
