As night fell, Pi City, which had been shrouded in a lively atmosphere for a day, gradually became quiet. The Philos family closed the door to recruit students. The display of the 'Universal Toolbox' under the Agnostic Square also came to an end, and the gathering crowd gradually dispersed.

In the Gila Mann family, the dining table decorated with beautifully decorated cups and plates is elegantly filled with all kinds of expensive ingredients and drinks. A dozen kinds of dishes and pastries that are rarely seen in the outside world are just an ordinary dinner for a family of three.

"Cooperation must be cooperation." There are no unspoken rules. Mrs. Gila Mann swallowed the cake in her mouth gracefully and continued to her husband: "According to the prospects described by Sewell, the future in the near future will not be the same as Almighty's. Companies that cooperate with capsule companies will greatly lose their competitiveness."

Her husband is also a well-known craftsman firearms expert. After hearing this, he nodded slightly: "Just being able to carry a large number of weapons and hide them is attractive enough, but the risks that come with it..."

"That's a matter for our congressmen." Mrs. Gila Mann shook her head slightly: "What we have to consider now is how to cooperate, whether to divide part of the profits or shares, and how much Philos wants."

"It's really a headache to cooperate in a one-sided demand relationship. The other parties are still the Philos family and the Gray Lady." Her husband said with emotion.

The two were silent for a while, enjoying the food.

Caitlin had been quietly listening to her parents' conversation without interrupting. Now that the conversation between the two had ended, she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, did you see Sewell today? What kind of person do you think he is?" ?”

Mrs. Gila Mann was a little surprised: "Why do you ask that? Caitlin."

"I've heard his name a lot lately." Caitlin picked up a favorite cream cake and thought for a while: "I don't know why, the law enforcement officers in the police station were so concerned about Professor Briano being sent to prison. Each incident has a completely different view from mine, which makes me... somewhat concerned."

Mrs. Gilla Mann understood.

She was actually very helpless for her daughter who bore the surname of Gila Mann but preferred to be a law enforcement officer. As a council member, she knew very well that those law enforcement officers were the law enforcement officers of Piltover and part of the family.

They can only maintain relative justice, and have unspoken rules that cannot be stated clearly. With Caitlin's character, joining them may cause or encounter some trouble soon.

Unexpectedly, this incident was the first time Caitlin doubted the impartiality of the law enforcement officer.

Fortunately, if she could see something clearly earlier, she would be able to leave the Piltover Police Station earlier.

"Sewell." Then Mrs. Gila Mann thought for a moment and said: "A very outstanding young man. His talents, eloquence, and even his way of dealing with others all seem to have been well-educated. In terms of his origin, it can only be said that he has extremely strong abilities. of talent.”

"As for the conflict between him and Professor Brinor." She looked at Caitlin and said with a smile: "If you want to become a law enforcement officer, shouldn't you find the answer yourself? Caitlin."

Caitlin was startled, then picked up a paper towel and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth. She stood up and said, "I'm full. Father, mother, I have to go out and will be home before nine o'clock."

"Okay." Mrs. Gila Mann agreed.

Watching his daughter leave in a hurry, Caitlin's father asked in surprise: "She went to find Sewell? Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Sewell is still a bit naive Jace Tallis. He knows what he wants better than anyone else because he can decisively join the Philos family."

Mrs. Gillaman commented: "What's more, the Philos family probably values ​​Sevier more than anyone else. There was an episode this morning. After Sevier's assistant sent a certain message, the Gray Lady's expression It’s very ugly, I think something must have happened, even Caitlin may not be able to see him now.”

Baijiu Avenue, Kangshe Tavern.

There were still fifteen minutes before seven o'clock, and Justo had arrived early, found a corner seat, ordered two glasses of cheap lime-grog, and drank it himself.

This is a very famous spirit. Ordinary people usually drink it in one glass, but it is perfect for him who comes from Noxus.

He drank a cup on an empty stomach. Although he was still conscious and his face was flushed, his spirit became more alert and alert, and he enjoyed another cup in small sips.

I'm in danger.

This was something he had known for a long time.

The task he was undertaking was a task that could not be rushed, but His Majesty the Emperor gave him a tight time limit, leaving him no choice but to take risks.

As an elite war mason, he had completed many difficult missions, but never had he been so uneasy as today and needed alcohol to keep himself calm.

"There are still three minutes." Glancing at the clock on the wall, his eyes lingered at the door. When he saw the nervous Arian walking into the tavern and looking around, his eyes lit up slightly, but only for a moment, his expression changed. sank.

Customers at two nearby tables were approaching me.

He stood up and greeted: "Arian technician, what a coincidence, you come here to drink too?"

His tone was as relaxed as if a student worker who passed the exam happened to meet Arian. Arian's nervous expression suddenly became magnified, and the two people at the table who came closer also paused slightly, vaguely uncertain and doubtful.

boom!

The next moment, Justo suddenly overturned the wine table and hit several of them!

There were screams and shattering sounds. Those people staggered back and fell down, being hit and cut by the table. However, the other people did not hesitate anymore. They touched their hands in their arms and took out their knives and slashed at Justo. .

The blade was approaching, but Justo was very calm. He retreated and dodged all the attacks, and immediately launched a forward kick.

Without the blessing of any technology, this kick was exaggeratedly powerful. I saw the man who was kicked in the chest shot out like an arrow from a string, and landed with a bang in the wall of the tavern!

Compared with the elite soldiers of Noxus, the quality of the guards of the Philos family is far behind!

Three punches and two kicks knocked down the people around him and pushed them back. However, Justo, who was in the enemy's base camp, did not dare to fight. He curled up and jumped, smashed the glass of the tavern and jumped out.

After rolling to the ground, his expression changed.

Hearing a whistling sound in the air, a whip appeared at his landing point and wrapped him tightly in an instant!

His hands were locked tightly, and the huge drag force caused him to stagger to his knees. At the same time, two strong men rushed towards him, one on the left and one on the right!

Bang——

With limited mobility, his face was roughly pressed to the ground, his nose bleeding, and he was locked and twisted to the ground in a twisted posture.

"Hmph, tie him up..."

The whip-wielding elite of the Philos family had just made a declaration of victory when he saw Justo, whose face was covered with blood, raised his head with all his strength, and looked as ferocious as an evil ghost, biting off the hand of the strong man on the left. One finger!

"ah--"

A shrill scream erupted, and the force restraining Justo weakened. He broke away and jumped up, beating the strong man until he vomited blood and fell back. Regardless of the barbs on the whip, which made his hands drip with blood, he pulled hard, and then kicked him again. Kick it over.

Bang——

After breaking through the siege of three elites again, he ran out towards the back of the tavern.

At the same time, a gun-wielding guard finally appeared in the corner, as if he no longer considered the need to capture him alive. The dense bullets formed a net and enveloped Justo's legs.

But I saw that Justo was like a running cheetah. Every time his powerful legs kicked the ground, they bounced like springs. His body bounced between the buildings. He actually dodged most of them like eyes on his back. The bullets, the sporadic hits that caused a splash of blood, did not affect his mobility.

Just half a minute later, Justo came to a cliff-like area.

There’s a reason for choosing Conshe Tavern.

This is the easternmost side of Piltover, very close to the lower city of Zaun, but the huge height difference does not leave a road sufficient for passage.

But this was his chance to escape.

As long as he escapes to Zaun and the most chaotic area, even Feros will have a hard time finding him!

Without a moment's hesitation, he jumped down, covered with bruises. After more than ten meters, his fingers inserted into the cliff as if he felt no pain, and he used his flesh and blood to slow down on the cliff of earth and rocks.

But just when he sank a certain distance, getting further and further away from Pi City, and was about to successfully escape, a sharp pain suddenly flashed through his back spine.

Something was nailed into his body!

"...Claw?"

This kind of auxiliary prop, which is only used when performing special climbing operations, turned into an extremely sharp weapon at this moment. It was thrown down from an altitude of more than 20 meters and hooked him accurately!

Before he could make any other moves, the hook that hooked him was retracted. With the severe pain that even a tough guy like him could not bear, Justo was pulled back to the top of the cliff at a faster speed.

The torn muscles directly caused him to lose feeling in one of his arms. He was sweating from the pain, but after climbing onto the cliff, he still used his greatest strength to wave his other fist and attack the hook that dragged him up. that person!

But strange energy shot out, and a wall of energy light was formed out of thin air in front of his fist. The power that could break open stone monuments hit the light wall, just like a mud dragon entering water, and not a single wave was able to escape. arouse.

Justo finally saw the person who dragged him up: "...Grey Lady."

Camille's blue eyes were still calm, and the metal-blade right leg passed through a silver arc in the air, and one of Justo's legs was permanently separated from his body.

The accumulation of injuries and massive blood loss made Justo finally lose the ability to fight back, and he knelt down in front of Camille in a pool of blood.

He forced himself to raise his head and looked at Camille's body, which looked a little strange in the night, and saw a Philos guard surrounding her.

Justo knew he was doomed.

"Hey... I just knew that I might not be able to go back on this mission, Your Majesty the Emperor..."

Saying something desolately and hoarsely, Justo murmured in his heart: But no one understands enough that the war masons always work in pairs! One light and one dark, one master and one auxiliary!

"For Noxus!!!"

With this low roar, he seemed to have gained strength out of thin air. He kicked his remaining leg as hard as he could and crashed into Camille!

Camille didn't hide, and the blade on her leg cut off Justo's head as he wished - there was no need to interrogate such a man.

Looking at Justo's broken body, she looked around at the ashamed and surprised guards of the Philos family.

Compared with the real warriors of Noxus who have experienced war, the guard army of Feros is really like a baby.

Before taking action, she had doubted whether some reckless alchemist baron was acting under the guise of Noxus, but now there was no luck, and a heavy feeling hovered in her heart. Could it be that the emergence of the omnipotent capsule made her Has Noxus finally taken over the Twin Cities?

How will Piltover resist?

On the other side, Ji Xing returned to his mansion in Lanxun Manor after a busy day.

The key in his hand was inserted into the door lock and twisted. Ji Xing's figure suddenly paused for a moment, frowned slightly, and then pushed the door open.

Come in, take off your shoes, turn on the lights, close the door. A series of actions went smoothly as usual, but just as he completed the series of actions, a knife was smoothly placed across his neck!

"Don't move or make any noise. Raise your hands and walk slowly to the bedroom." A deep and powerful female voice came into my ears.

Ji Xing raised his hands and turned around slowly.

What came into view was a relatively strong woman. Her thick arms and ordinary clothes looked like a peasant woman who often worked in the fields, but her eyes were very calm, and her hand holding the knife was extremely stable, as cold as Camille.

"The guards and spies of the Philos family can't do it either. They all let the enemy sneak into my house... When did you come?"

"This morning, after you left."

The woman said in a low voice: "You are not surprised by my appearance. You seem to know my identity. It seems that Justo's situation will not be too good. But even if the Philos family learned of his existence, they would step up patrols and investigations. After that, it is impossible to find me who has been waiting for you all day.

And since Justo has been exposed, the Gray Lady should not be here for the time being. You need to be more obedient. Sevier, believe me, it will be enough for me to kill you ten times before the other guards of the Philos family come to the rescue. Second-rate. "

"okay."

Ji Xing sighed and cooperated as she escorted her to the bedroom and asked, "What's your name?"

"Don't try to delay time, it doesn't matter what my name is." The woman said, "What matters is the technical key to the universal capsule.

There is no need for me to kill you, and there is no way for me to escape from Piltover with you. If you are smart enough, give me what I need immediately to avoid suffering more. When your life is threatened, the Gray Lady who values ​​you will not blame you too much.

Beyond that, if ever your stay in Piltover isn't to your liking, the great Empire of Noxus is always there to welcome you. "

"Technical key?" Ji Xing said: "It seems that you are completely ignorant of scientific research. How can such a complex technology be realized in a few words or with one or two key technical breakthroughs?"

The knife was very close to Ji Xing's neck.

Ji Xing's face didn't change: "How about telling me about the situation in Noxus? I'm actually quite curious about the Noxus Empire."

The woman carefully examined Ji Xing's face and repeated, "Don't delay."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clear knock on the door, followed by a crisp girl's voice.

"Mr. Sewell, are you at home? I am Caitlin, a law enforcement officer. Regarding the case of Professor Brinor embezzling your academic achievements, I want to confirm some details with you..."

I am in Shanghai. I will fly to Singapore at dawn tomorrow to attend the Qidian annual meeting. I will fly back to Shanghai on the 29th. I will give you updates during this period... I will do my best.
