"What is this place? Hell? Hmph, it's nothing special, not nearly as frightening as I imagined."

"Kid, you're finally awake. That's great!"

"Killer? So you didn't manage to escape after all? Never mind, it's better with you by my side. As long as we brothers join forces, even hell will be crushed under our feet."

"Uh, what nonsense are you spouting? Did you hurt your head before? We're not dead, we're very much alive."

"What?!"

Kid abruptly sat up in bed and realized that although the surroundings were unfamiliar, it was just an ordinary room, nothing to do with hell.

Moreover, he noticed that his wounds had vanished.

Was it all just a dream?

That dream was far too terrifying.

"What exactly happened?"

"We were saved by Boss Abel. I also need to apologize, I made a decision without your consent."

Killer quickly explained everything that had happened since Kid had passed out, leaving Kid with a very animated expression.

"You mean to say that Ivan and his crew got wiped out, and then you begged this guy named Abel to save me, and the price was signing a contract of indenture for 20 years for both of us?"

Killer nodded, "You were about to die, I had no other choice. But Boss Abel is indeed an amazing person. He just gave you half a bean, and all your wounds were healed."

"According to Boss Abel, it's an extremely precious item that can revive a person with just a breath left, and he had only the last half left."

"If that's the case, even selling both of us wouldn't cover the cost of that half a bean."

Hearing this, Kid fell silent for a moment before speaking, "I don't blame you, you were trying to save me. But I can't let you lose your freedom because of it."

"You go, Killer. Put all of those 20 years on me. After all, I got my life back for free, so it's no loss to me."

Escape?

Kid had thought about it, but if the other party could easily wipe out Ivan and his people, they could easily find them too.

And then it would bring misfortune to everyone on the Eastern Street.

Besides, no matter what, the guy named Abel did save both him and Killer.

They owed him a debt of gratitude.

Killer, however, was slightly angered, "I've already been a deserter once, do you really want me to do it a second time?!"

"We are friends, brothers! Whatever happens, we face it together!"

"Besides, it's just 20 years. By that time, we'll only be in our thirties, we'll have plenty of time to pursue your dream together."

Kid was somewhat persuaded.

20 years sounded long, but after 20 years, they would only be in their thirties.

That's the prime of a man's life.

Once free, they could certainly chase their dreams.

Kid, having come to terms with the situation, looked much better and was no longer so resistant.

The door then opened from the outside.

A tall and handsome man entered, cigarette in hand.

"Now that you're awake, come out and get to work. You should be grateful to have such a good brother. If it weren't for Killer begging me to save you, you'd probably be buried underground by now."

"I know, you don't need to tell me that."

Kid was naturally fearless and would challenge anyone he met.

"Very good, I like the attitude."

"But it seems like Killer hasn't told you about my rules yet."

"From now on, when you see me, you call me Boss. You do what I tell you to do without asking why."

"As for other things, I'll tell you when I think of them."

"Oh, I almost forgot. There are punishments for breaking my rules."

"Kid did not call me Boss just now, so his punishment is 500 push-ups."

Kid still looked defiant, glanced at Abel, and got down to start his push-ups.

Before he began, however, he was stopped.

"It's not you who will be doing them; Killer will take the punishment."

"Why?!"

"Now it's a thousand. My punishment system is that if one of you makes a mistake, the other receives the punishment. Brotherly love, huh? I want to see if you truly care for each other."

Abel chuckled softly, then said devilishly, "Killer, a thousand push-ups, start now. If you don't finish, no dinner for you tonight."

"Kid, you count. If one push-up is not perfect or one is missing, it doesn't count."

"Of course, you can intentionally cover for your good friend, and it's just a gamble to see if I find out."

After saying this, Abel hummed a tune from his hometown and left.

Losing his last Senzu Bean didn't bother him too much; in the long run, Kid and Killer would be valuable to him.

Proposing a 20-year term just made it easier for them to accept.

People are motivated by hope.

After 20 years, if Kid and Killer wanted to leave,

Of course, he would let them go!

No one would think that he couldn't conquer the world in 20 years.

Inside the house, Kid was grimacing, counting for Killer.

Killer was already injured, and despite treatment and bandaging, such wounds don't heal in a few hours.

And now he was forced to keep doing push-ups.

Soon enough, he turned pale and began to sweat, his arms trembling.

Worst of all, as he gritted his teeth and exerted himself, his wounds reopened, staining the bandages red.

"Stop, Killer, stop! I'll go find that guy."

"Don't! Kid, do you think we're in any position to negotiate with the Boss right now?"

Kid paused, then with a pained expression, said, "It's all my fault; I won't provoke the Boss again."

"I don't think it's bad. We're brothers, right? You err, and I take the punishment—it's fair. Next time, I'll stand up for you, and then you take the punishment for me."

"Killer!"

Killer then passed out.

Hearing the commotion, Baby-5 entered with a medical kit and snapped, "Move aside, it was so hard to bandage him up before, and now it needs to be done again."

Kid blushed and held his tongue, obediently moving aside.

"Can't you two just stay out of trouble? I can't understand why Abel would save you two."

"It's done, I hope there's no next time."

Baby-5 finished with a pretty bow on the bandage. Despite her constant complaints, she did not rush through her work.

As she left, Kid finally managed to utter a thank you.

"Thank Abel, not me. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about your lives at all, hmph!"
