Chapter 222 Death row prisoners in short supply
"Jayden, inform Victor that I need death row prisoners, the more the better. Tell him to find a way to send them here."

"Master, there are too many people. It will cause a sensation."

"Then go to a few more prisons. Death row inmates have no value. Now we give them a chance to turn these people into money. I think no one will refuse..."

Delian is right. In capitalist society, profit is the most important thing. None of the private prisons out there are willing to accept death row prisoners!
why?
Of course, it’s because these people have to be executed when their term expires.

Private prisons are essentially businesses, and prisoners are their "eternal business opportunities." Every additional prisoner they hold brings in more income.

Death row inmates cannot bring benefits to the bosses behind the scenes.

Therefore, if Delian wanted to get death row inmates, he could only go to the state-run prisons.

According to statistics, there are currently 102 federal prisons, 1566 state prisons and other institutions in the United States, which hold a total of more than two million prisoners.

It would take some time to gather several hundred death row inmates.

After all, the price he offered was not low, and he had assured the relevant persons in charge that taking these death row prisoners away would not allow them to escape, but would be used for other purposes.

In order to avoid gossip, Delian took in these death row prisoners and set up a pharmaceutical research and development company, taking the prisoners away in the name of recruiting drug testers.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Delian's high-profile collection of death row prisoners soon became a hot topic.

However, compared to his strange behavior of paying for a prisoner, people were more concerned about his suddenly younger appearance.

……

Two days later.

In a beautiful castle in New York State.

Delian picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and said slowly: "Uncle, what I just said is true. I became younger mainly because of Mr. Long. The more than 200 death row prisoners I bought these two days were also prepared for him."

"What does Mr. Long want with so many death row prisoners?"

Jonathan Locke, who is over 70 years old and has gray hair, has a face full of wrinkles and his skin is frighteningly loose, but he is in good spirits and his face is full of rosy glow.

This is also largely related to the fact that Jonathan began to cultivate his character and stopped wasting money after he got older.

Of course, the main reason is that the Locke family is rich and can get any skin care products.

"Uncle, look at this..."

Delian did not say it directly, but took out his mobile phone and showed his uncle the photos he took in the basement after Cheng Long left that day.

The moment he saw the photo, Jonathan, who had lived for more than seventy years, was so frightened that his body trembled and he said tremblingly: "Evil, devil..."

The old man's shout instantly attracted the attention of some members of the Locke family nearby.

They came up in twos and threes.

Needless to say, everyone who came was terrified by the horrific scene of mummies all over the ground.

"Uncle Delian, are these photos real?"

"Drian, are you sure this isn't a movie scene?"

"Drian..."

In addition to being frightened, everyone instinctively began to question.

Don't blame them.

This scene was really too horrifying, with ten mummies lying all over the place. Anyone who had not seen it with their own eyes would have doubted it.

"Quiet~~"

Jonathan chuckled, and the members of the Rock tribe who had gathered around him fell silent.

Although he is not the oldest member of the Locke family, he is the most powerful and active one. The other two are all over 80 years old. They are either staying in the countryside to retire or staying at home to wait for death. "Delean, there is no need to lie. These photos are real."

Jonathan made the final decision and no one dared to question it.

On the one hand, there was really no need for Delian to lie, and on the other hand, Delian had indeed become younger.

That is to say, there are many young people present who are not interested in the uncle's rejuvenation for the time being, but some of their older peers are very concerned about this.

After a while of silence.

Jonathan asked, "Mr. Long can only make people fifteen years younger?"

Delian nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Long made it very clear. At most, it can be exchanged for fifteen years of youth, but it requires the sacrifice of 500 death row prisoners or people who deserve it."

Everyone suddenly understood why their Uncle Delian (brother/brother) had to pay to buy off the prisoner.

"No other requests?"

Jonathan always felt that the request was a bit low. Sacrificing five hundred death row prisoners could exchange for fifteen years of youth. If the transaction could continue, he could even gain another kind of immortality.

For example, if he successfully trades with Mr. Long and gains fifteen years of youth, then fifteen years later, if he trades again and repeats this cycle over and over again, wouldn’t that mean immortality?
I have to say, this old guy has a good idea.

"No, Mr. Long doesn't care much about money. Last time I did a deal with him, Mr. Long drove away my car and didn't ask me to prepare 1 million in cash. He is a real man."

Although Delian's Mercedes-Benz is worth a lot, it is somewhat worthless compared to millions of US dollars.

After all, a million dollars can buy several Mercedes-Benzes.

"It seems that the souls and blood of five hundred people are of great help to him, so much so that he can ignore money and women."

As the saying goes, old people become more cunning and ghosts become more spiritual. Jonathan was so sure that killing people and sucking blood could help Cheng Long grow without even meeting him.

"Uncle, is it possible that money and women are readily available to Mr. Long?" Compared to his third uncle's opinion, Delian was more inclined to believe that Cheng Long's indifference was because he had mastered mysterious means and could get them whenever he wanted.

Whether it's money or women.

"……maybe!"

Jonathan smiled faintly and said, "Drian, buy more death row prisoners. The old people in our family haven't lived enough."

"Uncle, by the time I gather 500 people, no one will be left in the prison to buy money for us! Although we are very free here and there are shootings every day, many people who are caught will not be sentenced to death!" What Delian said was right. In a place that emphasizes freedom and human rights, the number of murderers sentenced to life imprisonment far exceeds the number of death penalty prisoners.

There aren't that many death row inmates in prison.

"Then go buy them abroad. There are so many countries in Central and South America. Are you afraid that you can't buy thousands of death row prisoners?" At this point, Jonathan couldn't help laughing and said, "Besides, you said there are not many death row prisoners now, that's because sentencing a murderer to death is far less cost-effective than sentencing him to life imprisonment. Do you know how much money a judge can make by sending a prisoner with a life sentence to a private prison?"

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be less than $100,000. If it's a young person in their twenties or thirties, it might be higher."

"You also said that it would not be less than one hundred thousand dollars. If you were the judge, would you have a problem with money?"

The implication of what Delian's third uncle Jonathan said was obvious. In the past, the penalty for sentencing murderers to life imprisonment was far higher than the death penalty, because death row inmates cannot generate any benefits.

It’s different now. They are buying up death row prisoners, and once the news leaks out, more and more people will come to do the buying.

As demand increases, the supply market will naturally grow.

Supply and demand, supply and demand, where there is demand, there is supply.

By then, not only will the number of death row prisoners in Liberty City increase, but so will the number in nearby countries.

Therefore, this will become a new way to make money.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
"Uncle San, we don't actually have to spend a lot of money to buy it. We can just set up a few mercenaries and have them arrest drug dealers or gang members to meet Mr. Long's needs with the least amount of money."

"Okay, let's prepare for both situations."
