Those with Guns Are Naturally More Powerful (f)reewebnovel

The long table snapped in half at the waist, and plates crashed to the floor one after another.

In the blink of an eye, two inmates were entangled in a brawl, while others quickly backed away.

Veronica promptly blew the whistle and charged forward, shouting, "Stop! I told you to stop!"

In the core area, when the inmates were fighting, regular prison guards would typically have to call in the riot squad. It was challenging for them to intervene directly, given that many inmates in the core area possessed abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

The inmate who had just retaliated was clearly one of them, as the force of his shoulder throw could easily cripple an ordinary person.

However, Veronica was unfazed, She was not only the captain of the riot squad but also one of those with abilities surpassing the norm!

The attacked inmates, despite Veronica's warning, showed no intention of stopping. They continued relentlessly assaulting their assailant, seemingly intent on beating them to death.

Veronica, no longer holding back, grabbed her baton and prepared to strike the back of one of the attackers.

However, at that moment, the inmate suddenly turned alert, spun around, and threw a powerful punch aimed at Veronica's face.

Startled, Veronica instinctively raised her baton to block.

The metallic baton rang out as it clashed with the heavy punch, and Veronica felt a sharp pain in her wrist from the transmitted force.

After Stumbling backward for a couple of steps, Veronica regained her balance and looked in surprise at the inmate before her. In the core area, few inmates could match her in hand-to-hand combat. freewe(b)novel.com

"Well, well, Officer, you've got some skills. Want to spar a bit?" The young female inmate suddenly laughed, provocatively waving at Veronica, her eyes emitting a strange golden glow.

Veronica recognized the inmate, it was core area's Room 10 Carmilla, the Violent Dragon.

"It's really you. I told you to stop, didn't I?"

Veronica furrowed her brow, having vaguely guessed the identity when she heard the name shouted during the altercation.

Carmilla, a notorious figure Veronica had heard about during her time in the mounted police.

She was a member of the "Blood Hand" gang in the old district of Silver City. Known as the ace enforcer of the gang, she was undefeated in gang battles and earned the title of the queen in the old district. A year ago, she was arrested for accidentally killing a member of a rival gang during a brawl.

This woman's strength was rumored to be due to a trace of dragon blood in her ancestry, known as... dragon lineage.

Witnessing Carmilla eyes turning like reptilian in excitement, Veronica felt the rumor might not be baseless.

"Come on, you saw it too. This trash started it." Carmilla pointed behind her with her thumb. "I'm just acting in self-defense, perfectly justified."

The attacked inmate now lay motionless in the midst of the shattered table, buried under a pile of plates and food, silent and possibly lifeless.

"Stay aside!"

Veronica forcefully pushed Carmilla away, focusing on first aiding the injured inmate and then dealing with the situation.

Unexpectedly, Carmilla threw a punch without warning. Luckily, Veronica reflexively dodged, letting the fist graze past her nose.

Veronica retaliated with a swift kick to Kamila's abdomen, forcing her to step back.

"Are you out of your mind!?" Veronica glared at Carmilla.

"It's rare to encounter an evenly matched opponent. It'd be too boring not to have a good fight! Let's see if the werewolf or the dragon-blooded descendant is more formidable."

Carmilla stared fearlessly at Veronica, wearing a wild smile, ready for action.

Veronica recalled from the archives that Carmilla was a combat maniac addicted to violence. In the past, she had beaten up roommates over trivial matters, leading to her being assigned a solitary cell.

Just as Veronica found the situation challenging, a figure suddenly leaped from the table behind Carmilla, soaring high spinning and throwing A spinning kick targeted at Carmilla rear skull.

It was Evangeline, one of the model inmates appointed by Aiden. Upon witnessing the disturbance, she immediately executed Aiden's orders to maintain prison order.

Carmilla heard the sound of Evangeline jumping off the table and promptly turned, She using her forearm to solidly block the incoming kick.

"You want to join in, little devil?" Carmilla became even more excited, preparing to counter-attack as Evangeline landed.

However, Veronica halted her with a cold voice, "Don't move! Or I'll shoot."

Carmilla, surprised, turned her face, directly facing Veronica's raised gun, Evangeline sneak attack bought enough time for Veronica to aim.

"Hey, using a gun in a duel is cheating, isn't it?" Carmilla raised her hands in a helpless gesture.

No matter how formidable one's physical condition, they were ultimately flesh and blood.

The pistols issued to the guards in the core area used bullets specifically designed for magical beings. Even a dragon descendant would not come out unscathed from a few shots.

When it comes to a duel between a dragon descendant and a pure-blooded werewolf, having a gun in hand naturally gives an advantage.

"Who said I'm dueling with you? I've already warned you!" Veronica glared at Carmilla.

Just as she was about to order Carmilla to crouch and cover her head, the inmate that Carmilla had knocked down moments ago suddenly crawled up from the broken table.

"Carmilla!!" The inmate roared and charged at Carmilla again.

Veronica was startledthis inmate should have suffered enough damage to break several bones for a normal person, yet not only did she get up, but she also had the strength to launch another attack.

Moreover, this inmate looked extremely eeriedisheveled hair, lifeless gray-white skin and hair, with only her eyes shimmering with a haunting azure light. At a glance, she seemed like a vengeful spirit ready to claim lives.

Fortunately, Evangeline rushed over in time, performed a sweeping leg motion, tripped the inmate, and then pinned her hands from behind, disarming her of the dining knife.

Veronica finally got a clear look at this inmateSilene, the Corpse Specter, just like Carmilla, She was also a well-known figure in the core area, residing in Room 19.

"Carmilla! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!" Silene struggled while yelling.

Carmilla response was to roll her eyes, "So annoying!"

Without time to contemplate the feud between these two, Veronica quickly shouted to the other guards, "Hurry, cuff them both!"

After shouting, she turned her gaze back and, unintentionally, made eye contact with Evangeline.

After a moment of silence, Veronica nodded towards Evangeline, indicating gratitude.
