The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 244 The results of the Philos family interrogation
Da da! Da da!
Subtle footsteps sounded in the dark night.

A group of strangers wearing black combat uniforms and hoods walked out of the shadows in the corner of the port and came to Huo Jixing.

"Transcendent, we are secret agents of the Philos family."

The secret agent at the front stepped over, his voice cold and hard, like the sound of a machine.

He looked at Huo Jixing, his eyes in the hood were full of fear, and took out a piece of parchment with a portrait from his arms.

"This is a secret order signed by the Piltover Council."

"Jannuk is the target of our operation. I hope you can hand it over to us."

The spy's tone was very polite, because he confirmed that the extraordinary person in front of him was extremely powerful.

Huo Jixing glanced at the Feros family spies who were surrounding him, then his eyes fell on Januck in his hand, and he laughed softly.

"Popular prey."

"But according to the information he confessed, it was the Eye of Zuan that found him."

Just when he started, there was a figure shrouded in blue light in the distance, and it quickly came over in a flash.

Now in front of him are spies from the Philos family, as well as strange and powerful extraordinary beings.

Both families have members from their own camps in the parliament.

The powerful position of the Myrdalda family in Piltover is the guarantee that he can now do whatever he wants.

The flames were raging, the ship's hull was shaking in the flames, and the heavy wooden boards fell to the ground in the port, throwing up bursts of dust.

The snow-white Poro lay on his side, chewing on the barbecue placed in front of him, and the food was covered in grease.

"He is only responsible for trading shimmer potions and selling collectibles to raise the necessary funds."

In front of the ship burning with fireworks, the orange firelight reflected the two figures.

"As for the smuggled shimmer wine, after forced confession, it was a private transaction of the Alchemy Baron of Zaun." Jal continued to speak.

Jal entered the restaurant with the parchment in his hand. When he saw the scene in front of him, his expression of urgency changed slightly.

Crackling!

Januk had already stopped struggling, his thick arms hanging down by his sides, his bloodshot eyes looking at the two groups of people in the field, his heart filled with despair.

Except for everyone from the Wildfire Gang who had just escaped.

Bang!
Jarl, wearing Hextech armor, fell from the sky and landed on the hard ground.

"Tsk, tsk, a secret agent of the Philos family?"

Their departure did not attract anyone's attention. After all, in the current chaotic situation, the Piltover guards first had to prevent the fire from spreading further.

"Father has arranged for personnel to enter the Zaun area to conduct a secret investigation."

Huo Jixing looked at the secret agent of the Feros family who was hiding in the darkness, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and motioned for Jial to leave together.

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and when he saw the spies of the Feros family, he still refused to get out of the way. He was ready to take action to deal with them and blame them on the departing Wildfire Gang.

Huo Jixing knocked Jannuk unconscious with one hand, held Jarl's shoulder with the other, and drove away from the port of Piltover in the clouds.

Although Jarl likes to explore everywhere and search for ancient holy objects, as a member of the Myrdalda family, he knows it very well.

Then he thought of the battle that took place in the port area and looked at Jal with a gloomy expression.

By the light of the ship's fire, Jarl noticed the agents in battle fatigues.

"How was it? Did you get anything?" Huo Jixing peeled off the fruit in his hand and asked softly.

"I am the advisor of the Myrdalda family." Huo Jixing spoke softly, looking straight at the spies of the Feros family.

After seeing Jarl, these secret agents of the Philos family who refused to retreat, hesitated for a while, and then left one after another.

The huge ship beside it had already fallen into a sea of ​​flames, and most of the ship's hull was pitch black. The sky-high flames attracted the Pi City guards to rush over quickly.

When Jal said this, his dark face became a little gloomy, and his eyes shone with a cold light.

In the dark night, Myrdalda Castle.

"Jannuk is indeed connected to the Eye of Zaun." Jarl replied.

"Lord Huo Jixing, do you need any help?" Jial said, holding a blood-stained Zaun man in his hand.

"Let's go!"

He had no idea that this smuggling transaction would attract so many people.

"Tell Camille that the Myrdalda family will take over the affairs here."

Huo Jixing nodded slowly, this is the performance of Piltover's top family.

Whether it is the Myrdalda family or the Philos family, their status in Piltover belongs to the level of powerful oligarchs.

As soon as the words fell, silence filled the air.

Huo Jixing returned to his room and was sitting in the restaurant, enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

"He had no idea about the Hex Stabilizer and Hex Gem that were lost before."

His tone seemed plain, but there was an undeniable meaning in it.

"What's going on with the secret agents of the Philos family? And the Wildfire Gang that showed up?"

"Father is contacting Camille to negotiate with the Feros family." Jal repeated Jia Gu's words.

"There will be news tomorrow."

"As for the Wildfire Gang, we can't confirm it yet. Their whereabouts are too mysterious."

Huo Jixing wiped his fingers on the warm napkin, stood up, walked to Jal, and took away the parchment.

"Then I'll wait for your news and go back to rest first. Maybe I'll be busy tomorrow."

"Ok."

Jal bowed slightly and left slowly.

The terrifying power displayed by the Hoji Star at the Piltover Port conquered the heirs of the Myrdalda family.

Huo Jixing returned to the study, opened the parchment, and browsed the confessions recorded on it.

"Things are getting more interesting."

He tapped his fingers on the table, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

"The Wildfire Gang, the Alchemy Baron, the Glimmer Potion and the Hex Stone."

In the Zaun region, the power of the Wildfire Gang cannot be underestimated. It can be said to be the most powerful force outside the Alchemy Baron Alliance.

Its gang leader is the famous time assassin Ike.

Rumor has it that Ike can manipulate time to make any situation favorable to him.

At the same time, Ike is also a genius inventor with a high IQ. He uses his many inventions to strengthen the growing Wildfire Gang.

"It seems like there are quite a few heroes involved in the Myrdalda family matter."

Huo Jixing's thoughts surged, and those involved now were Ezreal and Ike, as well as Camille, who was secretly investigating.

He walked to the glass window and looked at Piltover under the dark night, with an incomprehensible expression.

"What are the people behind this looking for the Hex Stone?"

Blue smoke manor.

This is a majestic estate on the edge of Piltover, close to the mountains.

From a distance, this manor looks like a bright pearl inlaid on the green mountainside.

Buildings made of smooth marble and shiny glass are scattered throughout the manor, highlighting the nobility and wealth of the Philos family.

Even at night, Lanxun Manor is still brightly lit. The buildings in the majestic manor become even more spectacular under the light.

The center of the manor is the castle of the Philos family.

The castle is the centerpiece of the estate and a symbol of the power of House Ferros.

The towering main castle, in the study room.

An elegant beauty with slim shoulders, slim waist, and tall figure is working at her desk.

The white hair style is more retro-styled, and the slightly tough face shows off the fierce momentum.

"What's the emergency?"

Camille raised her eyebrows lightly, and her blue eyes fell on the spy who opened the study.

"Jannuk's matter involves the Myrdalda family, and we also met Jal Myrdalda." The secret agent knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

"Jal Medalda?"

Camille murmured softly, a look of surprise flashed in her pupils.

"Has the heir who wants to be an explorer come back? It seems that what Jia Gu encountered is not simple."

Feros secretly spied on the Huoji star they met at the port. Before Jal arrived, they smelled the breath of death.

"Also, we met an extraordinary person who claimed to be the advisor of the Myrdalda family. He was very powerful."

"In addition, the Wildfire Gang seems to be eyeing Januk and wants to find something from him."

"hehe."

Camille chuckled softly, turned her attention away from the table in front of her, and looked carefully at her subordinates.

"Details about the situation encountered at that time and the subsequent investigation."

Agent Feros reported in a low voice, describing slowly from the arrival of Jarl and Huojixing at the port to the battle that took place at night.

The half-day period when Jial and Huo Jixing disappeared was also included in the report.

"The extraordinary flame. A black scabbard worn by someone with the ability to disappear out of thin air."

Camille was thoughtful, got up and left the desk, dismissed her subordinates, and went to her bedroom.

Crunch!Crunch!
There were heavy machine sounds on the dark gray walls of the bedroom.

In Camille's field of vision, a steel passage emerged, with Hex lights on both sides lighting up one after another.

Although the current head of the Philos family is Camille's favorite grandniece.

But as the family's chief spy, Camille actually controls both the family's public affairs and secret operations.

Arriving in the underground secret room, Camille took out the latest news on Valoran from the honeycomb-like pipe in front of her.

Within a moment, Camille found the information she wanted.

"Huo Jixing, a newly rising transcendent in the Noxus Empire, used to be a wanderer."

"Currently, we maintain good relations with high-level figures in the Noxus Empire, including two people in the Trifari Council, Noxus Commander Swain and Noxus Hand Darius."

"He has protoss-like talents and is good at using the power of fire. His strength is unpredictable, but at least he is at the level of a hero."

Camille lowered her eyes, gently closed the parchment, and put it back into the wooden cylinder.

"Family Myrdalda, are you asking for help from the Noxus Empire?"

Unlike most of the Chamber of Commerce families in Piltover.

The Philos family maintained the power of the powerful oligarchs through espionage, intimidation, and assassination.

"It seems that my worry is right. Under the prosperity of Pi City, there is an undercurrent surging."

Camille's eyes were solemn as she recalled the many pieces of information brought back by Agent Philos recently.

She took steps and continued towards the secret room.

Until they came to a laboratory full of precision instruments.

The laboratory in front of me obviously belongs to a highly confidential and professional field. Every inch of space is fully utilized and filled with various complex equipment and tools.

In the center of the laboratory is an operating table, covered with neat white sheets.

Although there is no living body lying on it at the moment, you can imagine how many precise and important surgeries have been performed here.

Next to the operating table, there is a square array of Hex machines, and Hex technology cubic batteries shine with mysterious light, providing power for various equipment.

Various metal parts are placed on the walls of the laboratory, classified and organized.

Some parts are bulky, while others are small and exquisite, but each of them is sophisticated and complex, and may be a component of some advanced device.

Camille walked into the operating table and gently lifted up her dark dress.

Only then did she see that her legs were like steel blades, flashing with cold metallic light, which was so cold that it penetrated people's hearts.

Camille began to strengthen her weapons, including leg blades, hooks and other devices.

As an expert in solving difficult problems, she has fully accepted her transformation beyond the human realm and the power of life and death that comes with it.
And she understood that it was time for her own activities.

Because she vaguely sensed an invisible undercurrent sweeping across Piltover and Zaun.

"The Evolution Day is coming too!"

“May the gears turn in the right direction!”

The next morning.

Lower urban areas, on dirty streets.

Wearing thin clothes, Vi yawned and rubbed her eyes as she walked through the gilded room of the Piltover Police Department.

It was just dawn, and the streets and the police station were still quiet. There were only a few drunkards who made trouble last night and were sobering up in the detention room.

There are also two punk teenagers from Zaun who have been enhanced with alchemical technology and are imprisoned in a more heavily guarded underground cell.

Vi planned to ask questions when she got back to see what they were doing in Piltover.

She came to her office area and moved her extremely sore and stiff shoulders.

She heard that there was fierce fighting in the port area last night. She originally wanted to go over and help, but the night shift prevented her from leaving her post.

"I really want to drink a strong drink to wake up." Wei raised her eyebrows and muttered.

But she had to look away from her desk and head to her partner's office.

Since Caitlin started in the morning, she kept telling herself to come over as soon as possible through the sound transmission tube, saying that there was something urgent.

Pushing open the office door, Wei saw a familiar figure sitting behind the desk, holding a letter in his hand.

"Is there something that can't be said in the sound tube? I just finished the night shift last night." Wei complained.

"News about the Glimmer Potion."

Caitlin leaned back on the chair, looked at her partner, and raised the letter in her hand.

"Do you want to"

Before she could finish her words, Wei quickly ran over, took the letter, and started reading it carefully.

"Hey, the battle at the port last night was actually related to the smuggling of shimmering potions."

"There are still people from the Wildfire Gang appearing. Things are a bit complicated. Maybe it's not just the shimmer potion."

Vi put down the letter in her hand, stared at Caitlin, and asked.

"Is there any news from above?"
