The Revenge of Dragon King

Ivy Prison was enclosed with high walls and heavily guarded.

More than twenty prison guards stood on the playground, leading more than two hundred inmates in blue prison uniforms.

They lined up neatly with reluctance on their faces.

Two men were standing opposite this group of people.

Judging by the uniform and the badge on his shoulder, one of them was Ivy Prison's warden.

Yet he was not the protagonist today.

It was the young man standing in front of the warden.

The young man had a buzz cut, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He was wearing a slightly old, checkered shirt, blue jeans, and gray sneakers.

Despite his young age and shabby clothes, he exuded an aura that made others dare not underestimate him by just standing there.

He was today's main character, Mateo.

Adan Gard, the warden, waved his hand and shouted, "We are here to send Dr. Emerson out of prison with respect!"

"Goodbye, Dr. Emerson!"

The prison guards and prisoners bowed and shouted in unison.

They had stayed with Mateo for more than three years. Mateo's eyes flicked from face to face, and he seemed touched.

"We'll be expecting your visit, Dr. Emerson!"

Adan led them again.

"We'll be expecting your visit, Dr. Emerson!"

The prison guards and prisoners exclaimed.

Mateo stopped feeling moved in an instant. He cursed, "Fuck you all! I'm not coming back here ever again!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The entire prison was instantly filled with joy.

Adan beamed and waved his hand at everyone. "Alright, alright. Everyone, you may go back. I'll send Dr. Emerson off."

As he spoke, he patted Mateo on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the prison gate.

"Wait!"

An inmate suddenly raised his hand and shouted. He left the queue and ran to Mateo.

"Dr. Emerson, my wife came to visit me yesterday afternoon. She said that the doctor told her she was pregnant with twins."

The prisoner took out a bank card from his pocket with a smile and put it in Mateo's hand.

He continued, "There is 16 thousand dollars in it, and the password is your code. You'll need money when you leave prison, and I hope I can be of help. Do take it."

Mateo smiled and did not refuse. He took the bank card, put it into his pocket, and said, "The prescription I prescribed for your wife before needs to be upgraded now. I asked her to take the medicine once a week before, and now, she needs to take it twice a week. In such a way, she and the babies will be safer."

"OK! Sure thing! Got it. Thank you, Dr. Emerson!"

The prisoner murmured the renewed prescription and was overjoyed.

"Alright then. Stop giggling. Go back!"

Adan glared at the prisoner and patted Mateo on the shoulder, continuing to walk towards the gate.

The prison guards and prisoners watched Mateo leave, their faces full of reluctance.

"Mr. Gard, thanks for helping me get released early."

As Mateo walked, he said, "I'll call you when I get a phone number after getting out. If you need anything, just let me know."

Adan grinned and said, "Don't say that. For the past three years, because of you, our prison has been praised every year. The atmosphere here is harmonious, and everyone is nice. We are like a family.

"Besides, you have been taking care of everyone. You have cured my son's congenital heart disease. If it weren't for you, I..."

Adan could hardly continue. His lips trembled, and he was a bit agitated.

Although he was the reason why Mateo could get out of prison in advance, he was still reluctant to send Mateo away.

"Enough, Mr. Gard. Say no more. If any of your family members don't feel well, you may come to me."

Mateo smiled and patted Adan on the back.

"Sure. Why would I go to other doctors since I already know you?"

Adan quickly collected himself and continued to send Mateo out.

Rumble!

The prison gates were open.

Outside the prison, the sky was blue, and the clouds were pure. The world was vast, and it smelt like freedom.

Mateo walked out of the prison in a trance.

"Dr. Emerson, farewell!"

"Dr. Emerson, come back and visit us!"

At the gate of the prison, several prison guards stood behind Adan and waved goodbye to Mateo again.

Mateo somehow felt the urge to shed tears, and he waved his hand at them. "I will never come back again. But you are always welcome to come and find me in San Francisco."

With that, he turned around and left.

"Mateo!"

Suddenly, Adan called out to Mateo.

Mateo turned around and asked, "Yeah?"

Adan strode over and said worriedly, "You were sent to prison because of your mother's death..."

Adan seemed to be a bit restrained. Instead of continuing the topic, he reminded Mateo worriedly, "Those people are way too powerful. You are not their match at all. Do not do anything stupid."

At the mention of that, Mateo pulled a sullen face. His entire aura was imposing, like a sharp sword unsheathed, which was utterly terrifying.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gard. I have my plans."

Mateo replied indifferently.

Adan sighed, "I know that you are determined and stubborn, and you are no longer the same as before. I can't talk you into anything. I just hope that you can be careful and have plans before doing anything. I don't want to see you here again anyway."

"Rest assured." The coldness on Mateo's face disappeared. He smiled, and without saying another word, he turned around and walked towards the station.

"Take care!"

Adan waved his hand hard.

"Take care."

Without turning his head, Mateo raised his arms over his shoulder and shook them gently.

At the same time, Mateo's eyes flickered as he recalled what had happened three years ago.

Back then, he was still in his junior year. He had never seen his father since he was a child, and it was always he and his mother who relied on each other.

To earn his tuition, Elena Mansfield, his mother, worked during the day and sold snacks at night in the night market, putting up with hardships and hard work.

One night, when Elena was selling food at her stall, she was hit by a red Ferrari. She was sent flying, hit the curb, and died on the spot!

The driver who drove the red Ferrari was called Hugo Louise. He was a famous playboy in San Francisco as well as the heir of the Louise Group.

His family used their connections to exonerate Hugo. A fatal drunk driving accident was thus characterized as a pedestrian crossing accident.

Eventually, Hugo simply needed to pay 16 thousand dollars for the funeral. He had no criminal responsibility, not even a day in jail.

What was even more ridiculous was that the 16 thousand dollars were paid by the insurance company, and it cost Hugo nothing.

Hugo drove drunk and killed someone, yet he managed to get away with it and continue to seek fun!

Mateo refused to accept the verdict, so he immediately chose to collect evidence on his own to overturn the case.

Mateo's actions quickly attracted the Louise Group's attention. Someone came over to stand in his way, trying to destroy the proof he had got. He got into a physical altercation and accidentally wounded one of them.

Therefore, Mateo was sentenced to five years and four months for assault.

Fortunately, when Mateo was fighting with them, the blood he bled activated a jade pendant from his ancestors, and he received the supreme inheritance of his ancestors, All-Encompassing Art.

All-Encompassing Art was so powerful and all-embracing, with incredible heritage knowledge of medicine, fighting skills, and so on.

After his imprisonment, thanks to All-Encompassing Art, Mateo had great achievements in cultivation and possessed extraordinary medical skills.

With his medical skills, he quickly established himself in prison, becoming a popular doctor for both inmates and guards, and received several commutations that allowed him to be released early after serving three years and four months.

Thinking of Elena's death three years ago, Mateo clenched his fists.

He thought, Hugo Louise!

The Louise Group!

Just you wait. I will get even with you and make you pay the price from today on!

Making up his mind, Mateo strode to the station.

Five hours later, Mateo reached a place called Fragrance Pasta House on Sunset Street in San Francisco.

He looked at the pasta house, and his eyes were a little misty.

The pasta house was owned by Valerie Mansfield, his aunt.

Three years ago, to overturn the case for Elena, he implicated Valerie and her family a lot.

In these three years, Valerie had come to visit him from time to time, which was the reason why he felt that he had not been forgotten by the outside world.

With Elena gone, he didn't have many relatives left in the world.
