Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 78 Vander's Attitude
With Silko's intervention, the Alchemy Baron's meeting went smoothly.

Li Lin told the six alchemy barons who hadn't recovered from their panic about his vision for the construction of the bottom city.

Everyone is very willing to support him, but is it just superficial...

The Zaun construction project will begin soon, and the answer will be revealed by then.

However, as far as Li Lin observed the faces of several people, at least three old acquaintances, Ren Ni, Barrett and Longfellow, would cooperate.

As for Bonnie, Li Lin could see the resentment and resentment flashing from time to time in her eyes.

This woman should have a good relationship with Finn, and it seems that she may be secretly stumbling.

It's just that Bonnie only monopolizes Zaun's dance hall industry, and his strength is relatively weak among Alchemy Barons.

Coupled with the conflict of interest between Renata's acquisition of the dance hall recently, this baron of alchemy can't make too much trouble in a short time.

Among the remaining two barons of alchemy, Mrs. Worth could tell at a glance that she was shy and harbored ulterior motives.

And Lanner still maintained a calm and smiling expression, which was deeply hidden, and nothing could be seen.

But Li Lin knew that she had a deal with the big family in Picheng, and the property under her hand could not be separated from Shangcheng.

Unless instigated by others, there is a high probability that there will be no conflicts with the construction of Zaan.

Also, since Finn's death, the frontier market where Piltover meets Zaun has lost its leader.

Li Lin had secretly poked Van der several times, hoping that he would take the opportunity to speak at the meeting and take the border market into his own.

But what he didn't expect was that the stubborn donkey-like Vander was still angry, completely ignored him, and kept silent until the end of the meeting.

Even if Silko asked to leave the border market, he didn't say a word.

Originally, Li Lin didn't intend to let Shirko take advantage of this, but he really couldn't say it.

As a member of the Gilaman family, if he wants to leave the border market, the other alchemy barons will only think that the Upper City family is going to intervene in the affairs of the Lower City.

Although in the final analysis, they will intervene in the future, but at least they will slowly assimilate.

This is Li Lin's "boiling frogs in warm water" plan. While building the bottom city, he vigorously promotes his name.

When Zaun develops, the people of Zaun will only remember that Li Lin made them live a good life, not the alchemy barons.

Now is the initial stage of the development of Zaun, and unnecessary conflicts should be avoided as much as possible.

After the Alchemy Baron's meeting, Silko was the first to leave, and asked his subordinates to recruit the people brought by Finn.

Maybe it's because Finn's opponents are not very good on weekdays.

The process of incorporation turned out to be very smooth. Even after learning of the death of their boss, these guys did not seem too surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Voss left with his own hands blankly.

And the four alchemy barons who knew Fandre greeted him, and each led their own people to leave in a hurry.

To Li Lin's surprise, before he left, Lanner went to him to greet him politely, asked a few questions about the construction, and then let the maid push him away.

In the following time, only Li Lin and Vander, who was sitting silently on the chair, were left in the room.

Not long after, the brown-red double door engraved with silver-white patterns was pushed open again, and Benso with a gloomy expression, Sevica the stern, and the bald-headed strong man walked in.

"Damn it, if I had known that Shirko would come today, I should have brought the shotgun in the shop with me, and shot him in the head like a dog."

"There are too many of them. If you really do this, we probably won't be able to walk out today." The bald man rubbed his shiny forehead and said helplessly.

"You are just cowardly, Cord, as long as Silko's dog's head is blown off with one shot, will his subordinates still obey the orders of a dead man?" Ben Suo folded his arms and snorted coldly, the fat on his face and body flickered .

Sevica ignored Benso's hilarity, moved a chair and sat in front of Li Lin and Fandre, "Looking at the expressions of Silko and the alchemy barons just now, you should have finished the negotiation, right?"

But soon, she noticed that Van der's mood was wrong, and looked at Li Lin with a puzzled expression, "Why, you didn't make a deal?"

"It's settled, Vander is not angry because of this."

Li Lin pointed to the inside of the hall, where Finn's charred body was still lying there.

Ben Suo poked his head out and glanced at the direction he was pointing at, his face was startled, "Damn it, why did this stupid boy Finn become like this?"

"Didn't Shirko just say that this guy is dead?" explained the bald and strong man Cod.

"Of course I heard it, tsk tsk... I just didn't expect this guy to die so badly." Ben Suo clicked his tongue, "If you die, you can die. Anyway, this idiot hasn't done anything good in the past few years."

"You killed him?" Sevica raised her eyebrows lightly, with a surprised expression.

Shirko didn't reveal who killed Finn outside just now.

But judging from this guy's miserable and fragmented corpse, ordinary weapons would not have such power.

Therefore, only Li Lin can do this.

"You're too impulsive, Li Lin." Before Li Lin could respond, Vander, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Li Lin opened the mask, and his calm gaze met his eyes.

"Are you sad for him? Have you forgotten how he treated you before? In Finn's heart, you are no longer his boss."

"That's what I said, but..." Fandre's expression hesitated, "But after all, he has worked hard with us, and he is our brother..."

"Hehehe..." Li Lin couldn't help laughing.

His eyes quickly flicked across the faces of Benso, Sevica and Kod, and he had a panoramic view of their expressions.

"Brother? Do you see that your brothers and sisters recognize him?"

Fandre froze for a moment, then looked at the three of them.

Sevica is fine, she doesn't have much expression on her face on weekdays, and she has kept a cool look at this time, and she can't see anything.

But the expressions of Benso and Cord were more of gloating over Finn's death, without the slightest hint of sadness.

"Do you really think that if you save Finn's life, he will listen to you honestly? Don't be stupid." Li Lin snorted, "I think you should know his nature very well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ben Suo on the side took up the words and persuaded him: "Li Lin is right, Van der, you don't know what Finn has done in recent years.

"We know you're nostalgic, but this guy really deserves his death. His heart is very serious. Getting rid of him is also considered killing the people."

Even Ben Suo said that, and the resentment in Fandre's heart was somewhat relieved.

"Sigh...even if that's what you say, you shouldn't be doing this in a meeting." He sighed with a gloomy expression.

"I didn't intend to do this at first, but he was too escaped."

Li Lin paused, and continued with an indifferent attitude:
"The controller who has been at the pinnacle of power for a long time is like this, especially in the environment of Zaun, you must show more strength than others, so that others will know that you are not easy to mess with, and will respect you.

"This is Zaun's law of survival, Fandre. Although it is not appropriate to describe it as the jungle, I can't think of a better word... You should know this better than me."

To be honest, Li Lin felt that the situation in Zaun was actually somewhat similar to the national conditions of Noxus in some respects.

As a person who has no power and no personal power, it is very common to be bullied by others.

If you want not to be bullied, you can only join a powerful gang, or be too strong so that others will not dare to provoke you.

After saying these words, Ben Suo, Sevica, and Ke De looked at Li Lin all changed.

They didn't expect that a person from the upper city would know the rules of the bottom city so well, as if he had grown up in the bottom city since he was a child.

Vander opened his mouth hesitantly, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh again helplessly.

These words are really similar to Shirko's idea...

Li Lin didn't intend to stop there, "So Van der, why don't you fight for the territory in the border market?"

"A black alley is enough. I'm tired of fighting for power and profit..." Van der shook his head, "But no matter what, I will do my best to help you build the bottom city, as long as you can use me."

Li Lin wanted to say something else, but was stopped by a look from Sevika who was sitting opposite.

Immediately, she said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's stop here today, it's time to go back."
