The Dragon King s Obsession

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.
