Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

On this day at 8 pm, after the sun had set, at Tianjing West City Prison.

Cao Jianrong placed his hands behind his back and, looking at the large group of convicts in front of him, cleared his voice and loudly shouted, “Today I’ve called everyone here because I have a huge piece of good news to tell you! Everyone pay attention, you’re not allowed to be distracted or discuss with one another! Or else, if the opportunity is missed, you’ll definitely regret it!”

Of course, though Cao Jianrong said this, quite a number of convicts below still secretly exchanged whispers. “Hey, what exactly is the matter? What opportunity? He’s called us out so late at night, what opportunity would there be?” “How would I know, but this stern-faced warden won’t easily get us to assemble. He’s asked all of us to come out today, there’s definitely something big going on! Are there any well-informed brothers who know what’s the matter?” “I’ve heard some news that it’s related to Brother Dao, Brother Fei, and the rest, but I’m not sure about the exact details.”

Just then, Cao Jianrong waited till there wasn’t much noise left below, then he said, “Today, I’ve called everyone here to announce two things. Number one, I’ll play a basketball competition video clip for everyone!”

Once he said this, there was immediate chaos below!

Basketball competition! They’d stayed here ranging from one year or so to eight to ten years, and usually, it’d be a special grant if they were allowed to play ball games—something as beautiful as cake dropped from the sky. Unexpectedly, today, this famous stern warden had said that he’d let everyone watch basketball. Had the sun risen from the west?

But nevertheless, since Cao Jianrong said this, he’d definitely not go back on his word. As expected, after everyone had become silent and the entire place was completely silent, Cao Jianrong got someone to carry over the big screen and projector, and very soon, the basketball competition of Wanhao vs Flying Bull had started.

After Xiao Dao and the others appeared, all the convicts cheered loudly. “It’s Brother Dao! It’s Brother Dao’s competition!” “Hahahaha! Awesome, awesome! It’s just so great today, I’ve already heard before that Brother Dao is following Young Master, but I didn’t expect that he’d start playing in competitions so soon!” “Would there be disadvantages by working for Young Master? I’m still keeping the cigarettes given by Young Master. I couldn’t bear to use them!”

Very soon, the competition started. Initially, Xiao Dao and the others suffered defeat one after another. All the convicts shouted till their voices were hoarse, cheering Xiao Dao and the others on. Alas, very soon, there was a drastic change on the court. Following the shouting of that classic slogan “For Young Master’s Sake,” all the convicts were stunned!

Xiao Dao and the others had completely changed the situation where they were being oppressed and trampled all around on the court. The Wanhao basketball team whose members were much taller than them were beaten till they couldn’t even raise their heads, and they had even been knocked flying all over the court due to reasonable collision. They were indeed unlucky, and they were hit till they were injured all over. After the competition ended, all of them had bruises and swollen faces, and they limped as they walked, looking like they wouldn’t be able to participate in any more competitions for the time being…

While everyone was still in shock, Cao Jianrong decided to strike while the iron was hot and told everyone about the advertisements that Xiao Dao and the others were endorsing.

This time, it resulted in an uproar among all the convicts!

“Brother Dao and the others have actually started endorsements and advertisements! Oh God, they’re really making their comebacks overnight!” “Yes, even Big Fei is endorsing for products. Even that frivolous Fourth De Zi is doing endorsements and advertisements!” “What the heck, they’re really too glamorous now! We are convicts! Even convicts can become advertising spokespersons!” “And it looks like the endorsement fees are quite big!”

“Silence! Silence!” Cao Jianrong took the loudspeaker and loudly shouted, “Silence, everyone!”

Very soon, all the convicts became silent.

Cao Jianrong said, “Now everyone can see it. Cheng Quandao and the others were spotted by Young Master and sent over. Now they have great futures! Does everyone know how much their endorsement fees is?”

All the convicts below desperately shook their heads.

“Starting from 10 million!” Cao Jianrong proudly said, “Starting from 10 million! Everyone, how do you feel upon hearing this amount? Are you very shocked and shaken?!”

“Oh God, 10 million in advertisement and endorsement fees!” “Before I came in here, my yearly salary was only a little over 10,000!” “10 million! You can’t win so much even in the lottery, right?!”

After all the convicts had finished their discussions, Cao Jianrong continued, “Now, the opportunity has been placed in front of everyone. This is the second thing I told you about. Everyone, reform well in here and work hard to reduce your jail sentence. After you get out, if you’re lucky to be able to join Young Master’s team, even if you’re not the same as Cheng Quandao and the others, but at least you won’t need to worry about food and clothing! Everyone, listen carefully. Young Master is your heaven. In this lifetime, if you’re able to sell your lives for Young Master, then you’ll be able to get great benefits!”

All the convicts shouted loudly like wild wolves: “Sell our lives for Young Master! For Young Master’s Sake!” “For Young Master’s Sake!”

…

Of course, after this basketball competition had ended, the emergence of Dali Divine Sect had nourished some and made many others extremely troubled as well.

For instance, the Bureau Chief.

Currently, the Bureau Chief was sitting opposite that mysterious middle-aged man on the sofa. His expression was extremely conflicted, and to describe it on a deeper level, it was pained.

“This rascal, he has actually made that so-called Dali Divine Sect. This is really… What should we say about this?” The Bureau Chief rubbed his temples violently. He’d watched that basketball competition of Wanhao vs Flying Bull. But it was very normal to win or lose in competitions. Though Flying Bull basketball team won in a strange manner, but compared to this, that Dali Divine Sect was already enough for him to be troubled over.

“Recently, the price of gold has plunged quite heavily, and I’ve become very busy. This Hong Dali just had to add to my trouble. Moreover, the matter is becoming bigger and bigger. Now, there must be almost 5 million members in Dali Divine Sect already, right?” The mysterious middle-aged man was in a very difficult position as well. After all, to ordinary citizens, they’d probably just feel delighted that such a Dali Divine Sect which could make people lucky had been created. But to the nation, it was a latent risk. It just had to be that the problem was that Dali Divine Sect only had that one line slogan. You couldn’t even investigate about it, and now everybody shouted “For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles” even when they had their meals. How could you arrest anyone?

But if people weren’t arrested and someone intently instigated things, it would very easily cause public disorder. That wasn’t a joke.

“I feel that we can only guide public opinion regarding this matter.” The Bureau Chief frowned and thought for a while, then he suggested. “Take over Dali Divine Sect’s website. We can’t allow it to be in the hands of the public. Just say that it’s been taken over for use by the nation. Try our best to guide the public towards the correct path on the website and the discussions, don’t make the situation till they shout this line even when they’re committing robbery. Otherwise, that will spell big trouble.”

Upon hearing what the Bureau Chief said, the mysterious middle-aged man laughed and said, “Hehe, we can only do this. But once I think about how a robber would probably shout out first ‘For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles’ before he commits robbery, that’d completely destroy the image of our Heavenly State…” Speaking up to this point, the mysterious middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand, then said, “Guard more heavily against it, probably even Hong Dali himself doesn’t know about this matter. Honestly, I can’t bear to ask him to tone it down. Otherwise, in the future, it’ll be difficult to handle. Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Have you secretly investigated those five people at Flying bull, what exactly is the matter? I’ve previously heard that the few of them are convicts that Dali has released?”

“Yes, they’re indeed convicts.” The Bureau Chief nodded. “We’ve already inquired about it secretly, and they’re very cooperative as well. The problem is that even they themselves don’t know what exactly happened. It’s just that upon seeing that they were going to lose, they cheered themselves on and shouted, ‘For Young Master’s Sake,’ then it became like that. Honestly, this matter is quite supernatural. These people were ordinary people when they were at the West City Prison. Though their physical conditions are better, it isn’t to such an exaggerated extent.”

“Could it really be because of that line ‘For Young Master’s Sake’?” The mysterious middle-aged man felt strange no matter how he thought about this. After all, quite a few people shouted this slogan, but he didn’t hear about anyone turning into superman. But why was it that Xiao Dao and the other four could become so powerful?

“Oh right, I’ve recalled something.” The Bureau Chief thought for a while, then suddenly said, “Cheng Quandao, which is that Center Fielder whose nickname is Xiao Dao. Back then, upon seeing that they were going to lose, they felt that they’d let Hong Dali down. Because Hong Dali had taken them out from prison and said that he’d give them a yearly salary of 5 million, so back then, they were really prepared to risk their lives. Do you think this could be the reason?”

“Prepared to risk their lives?” The mysterious middle-aged man touched his chin and thought for a while, then his eyes instantly lit up. “Does that mean that as long as one is truly willing to sell his life for Hong Dali, or really planning to entrust his life into Hong Dali’s hands, then professionally speaking, that would be loyalty? Absolutely loyal to Hong Dali, therefore there would be such an amazing effect?”

This mysterious middle-aged man was indeed mysterious. He was quite intelligent in his reasoning and had already guessed close to the mark.

“It’s possible!” The Bureau Chief’s eyes lit up as well and anxiously said, “Very possible! It’s very possible that when their level of loyalty towards Hong Dali reaches the maximum, which means that they have already reached the extent of being willing to die for him, they would obtain such a strength!”

Supernatural strength, that was supernatural strength!

Thinking up to this point, the two of them glanced at each other, then laughed loudly at the same time. “Hahahaha, this Hong Dali is indeed a treasure!”

“Damn, this time we’ll become rich.” The all along dignified and mysterious middle-aged man, in his excitement, actually directly swore. “Quickly find some people—an elite soldier… No, find an ordinary and dependable soldier, then find a hypnotist as well. Quick!”

“OK, I’ll go right away!” The Bureau Chief was also anxious as he turned around and walked out.

The mysterious middle-aged man excitedly pranced around in the apartment. “If that’s really the case, if it’s really as what I have predicted, then the individual ability of the soldiers in our Heavenly State army will increase by at least three folds! Three folds! What concept is this?!”

A threefold increase in the individual combat ability of soldiers, what concept was that?

The abilities of the elite and special forces were already extremely high, if their abilities were increased by threefold more, then how scary would that be?

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that if it was true, then in the future, the military ability of Heavenly State would definitely be able to dominate the world, and countries like Merika, Europa Union, and Jaban State would all be defeated!
