Chapter 140: Prison Life, Yo.

Zoey heard a familiar voice outside her cell as she was in the middle of one-handed handstand push-ups. "Justice always wins." Zoey looked up to see that asshole from the amusement park in a wheelchair looking down on her. Inner Zoey just laughed at the sight of him before continuing her training. Not even giving this loser the time of day, and that really set him off.

Focus came into play as magji chains came snaking toward Zoey's sweating and muscled body. Zoey pushed off the ground and grabbed one of the chains as she was in the air. The chain she grabbed was held by the asshole. She pulled with nothing but great physical power as she landed back on the ground with both her hands.

Arthur was pulled out of his chair and slammed against the bars of the cell. Inner Zoey laughed even harder as she heard the slam of his body slamming against the bars. He groaned before being snatched up by the collar by Zoey from inside the cell. She didn't realize she could extend her arms out of the bars. Zoey thought there was some sort of magji seal or barrier keeping her inside here, but did they really think she was helpless just because she didn't have any magji?

"I'll give you a taste of Justice." Inner Zoey gave a devilish smile.

Zoey repeatedly banged his skull against the bars of the cell. The sound of his skull bashing against metal echoed past the door and caught the attention of the magjistars outside the door. Well, either the banging on metal or his screaming caught their attention. "Release him!" Multiple magjistars filed into the room, ready to release magji spells at her.

Zoey dropped the asshole to the floor like a pile of garbage as he bled on the floor, barely conscious. Half of the magjistars went to grab him and take him away while the others kept their spells ready to fire. She could see them shaking at the sight of her. Inner Zoey couldn't help but be amused at the sight. Here she was, their prisoner, but they were more afraid of her somehow. Zoey felt that her Fighting Aura was burning like wildfire when she thought about forcefully breaking her way out of this building filled with magjistars. But she calmed herself down as she thought back to Prometheus's instructions.

"Don't get too close. I bite." Inner Zoey took a bite in their direction.

She laughed as most of them took a step back, and one of them even unleashed a spell at the bars. Zoey didn't see anything but heard something impact the bars and saw it slightly dent inward. Getting back into her training routine, she ignored the magjistars cautiously pulling out of her room. Defeating someone she's already defeated usually wouldn't be that satisfying, but that asshole was different.

Days passed, and Zoey noticed that her conditions inside the prison had turned to bad to dogshit after teaching that asshole a lesson. She no longer got three meals a day but only one. The meal was something fit more for animals than humans. A fairie was sent to give her her meals instead of magjistars and to deal with her hygiene issues with Basic Volume spells.

Zoey looked at the fairie, who happily and gently put down her food tray. The food consists of a single loaf of bread. If Zoey didn't have a high body stat, she was confident they sent this bread in here to destroy her teeth. As she angrily crunched down on the rock-like bread, she started to wonder if it was even worth eating this crap. Wouldn't her Endurance skill rise faster if she was starving? Zoey spat out the rocky bread.

With the thought of raising her skills and Zoey's recent luxurious lifestyle as a rich, well-known fighter. She decided not to eat the garbage. Call her stupid, a snob, or spoiled. Zoey didn't care.

"Thank you," Zoey told the fairie.

"O-Oh… Y-You're welcome…" The fairie blushed as they flew out of the room.

"If you don't have any useful news for me, you will die." Poison looked down at the slug daemon.

"Yes, ma'am!" The slug daemon shivered from the noxious mahna radiating off of Poison's body.

Poison pulled out a phone she had snatched from a human long ago. As the disgusting but useful daemon babbled, she tapped on the interesting and useful device. It wasn't until she heard something interesting that she put it down and looked at the slimy humanoid daemon. He froze up when they made eye contact.

"Say that again." She demanded.

"That strong human has been captured by the magjistars. She's a criminal to them now."

"Captured? How much of their power was destroyed trying to apprehend her?"

"Their stronger members from the Head of Justice's faction were injured badly, but she walked in herself."

"She turned herself in? She willingly let herself be taken in by those fools?" Poison couldn't comprehend this.

"Yes. I even interrogated a few magjistars to confirm this information."

"Snivellus." Poison suddenly smiled for the first time in Snivellus's lifetime. "Gather the weaklings. It's time to prepare." She stood up from her couch.

"Yes, ma'am! But I also have something else to report, if you don't mind…" Snivellus nervously poked his index fingers together.

"Go ahead."

"That strong human's family is being protected by daemons. Unless someone of your strength goes after them, we can't land a finger on them."

"Well, since Zoey's out of the picture anyway, we have no reason to go down that route anymore. But just in case, continue keeping an eye on them. How long will she be imprisoned for?"

"Unknown. Our spies inside only know that the top brass is ecstatic about the capture. I can't imagine that she's going to be released quickly."

"Keep me updated even at the slightest news regarding that human. Now let's go."

"Yes, ma'am!"
