At this time, Elaine looked at the female prison guard before slowly putting down the magazine in her hand as she said with some dissatisfaction, “Lucia, it’s not that I want to complain about you, but the magazines that you’ve been delivering to me these days are all too boring. The stories in the magazines are bad, vulgar, and not educational at all. Can’t you get me a few copies of ‘Soulmates’ instead?”
“‘Soulmates’?” The female prison guard was a native Oskian-American, so she did not know what Soulmates was at all. So, she asked nervously, “Elaine, what is this ‘Soulmates’ you’re talking about?”
Elaine said arrogantly, “Soulmates is a very deep and literary Oskian magazine. It has been my favorite literary publication for many years. If it weren’t for prejudice, the author of Soulmates would have already won the Nobel Prize for Literature! Imperialism is indeed taking over!”
The female prison guard said embarrassedly, “Elaine, the Nobel Prize is not judged by Americans. It’s mainly judged by the Swedes...”
Elaine frowned and asked, “Is that so? Why didn’t I know that?”
The female prison guard hurriedly explained, “Because the person who started the Nobel Prize is Swedish... He was the one who donated the money for the Nobel Prize.”
Elaine realized that she had misspoken and snorted coldly immediately as she said, “So what? Aren’t the Swedish or Swiss controlled by the Americans anyway?”
The female prison guard hurriedly said, “Elaine, the Nobel Prize... really has nothing to do with the United States...”
Elaine said impatiently, “Oh, I won’t continue talking nonsense with you anymore. Hurry up and find a way to get a batch of Soulmates for me.”
The female prison guard had no choice but to say respectfully, “Okay, Elaine, I’ll go and help you think of a way now.”
Elaine hummed in response, then waved her hands and said, “Okay, you can go out now.”
The female prison guard nodded quickly and said, “Okay, Elaine. I’ll go out first, then.”
