Chapter 838: A New Friend

Ice was thinking about what Blackjack said, and in the end, he had just got up from where he was sitting and had decided to leave the others. He wasn't worried about Gary anymore; he seemed to be doing fine, and since he had a relationship with Blackjack, he knew that he would be safe.

Just before he was about to leave, though, Blackjack had one more word for him. "Be careful out there, they might try and get you, since they saw you lose and all," Blackjack commented.

Ice smiled. "If anything, after that fight, I think I will be a lot safer around here."

In some ways, it was quite true. Because although the others had seen Ice fight once or twice when there were others that had attacked him, they had never seen him display strength to that level, especially with his full transformation skill. It was a first.

It was quite clear that next to no one had a chance when it came to facing him. Well, other than those that he had just talked to.

After Ice left, it didn't take long for Gary to get straight into business. "I did as you asked, I fought Ice and won, so are we going to try and get out of this place then?" Gary asked.

"Sure, sure, but you need to be at 100 percent. I reckon a couple more days should do, right, unless you're willing to get your energy back some other way," Blackjack mentioned.

Gary wasn't so sure what he meant by this. His words, they were strange but they had caused Gary to have a thought. Another way for him to regain his energy was to consume one of the other prisoners.

Otherwise, he would just have to wait until the next day and try to fill himself up on some canteen food.

'But it can't be that he would know that, about filling up my energy, right?' Gary thought and decided to shake the thought.

"After that, I told you before, we need to create a mess, and a big one as well," Blackjack explained. "Think about it, even after your fight with Ice, no one turned up. So you need to create an even bigger scene than that."

Just imagining what was to come, Gary was getting a little nervous, but he couldn't get cold feet now; he had to remember why he was doing everything and the time frame that they were up against.

"To do that, we either need to fight against the North group, or the South group, feel free to take your pick, I mean if you want to go up against them both as well. If you cause enough disruption, and injure enough of them, then I'm sure she will be willing to come out."

"At that point, you need to fight against the Warden, and use everything at your disposal to get her as weak as possible. When she's weak enough, I'll jump in and finish the job."

"So, you're making me do most of the work?" Gary complained.

In a way, he didn't mind that though. Going up against the two groups, it would give him more exp to level up, and it was the same if he was to face the Warden. If his system didn't work in this way though, he would have thought he was getting the worst part of the deal in all of this.

Having come to an agreement, Gary needed to try and see which group he wanted to face first, or try to gauge their strength. He decided to rest for most of the day and wait till breakfast.

When Gary was sitting down eating his meal, Ice strangely had come over, and in doing so had brought over another large container of food.

People knew for some reason he had an in with the guards and gained certain privileges. This wasn't just because of his strength but was because he had helped them settle some matters before.

Either rowdy prisoners or situations that would be too difficult for them to handle. Before Gary could say anything, he had already left, and not wasting food Gary had gobbled it all up.

"That guy is too nice to be in here," Gary thought.

After coming to a conclusion, Gary decided it didn't matter which group he was going to attack first. He was just going to walk to one side and see what happened, but before that, he paid Blackjack another visit in his cell.

"I just wanted to inform you that I'm going to act, so I need you to be ready. Also, I'm trusting you on this one quite a bit. If I use all my strength taking on the Warden, then I need you to carry my body, and protect me to get out of here, alright?" Gary asked.

He couldn't believe he was trusting a stranger in all of this. One that he had no reason to trust, but what else could he do at this moment.

"I will do that for you," a voice said from behind.

Turning around, Gary could see that Ice was standing by Blackjack's cell door.

"Ice... what are you doing here, are you here to stop us?" Blackjack asked, a little annoyed and on his toes to react.

"No, as I said, I will help you Gary," Ice replied. "If it comes to it, and you can no longer move after the fight with the Warden, I will make sure to carry your body out of here, and take you to where you need to be.

"I have been thinking about what was said, and about what you said. I want to see this. I want to see the people that you wish to save, and why it is so important to you. So once we are out of this prison, I will also help you with your goal."
