"Can't you double the price?"

"Sorry, no." The middle-aged man smiled apologetically, then declined Graves' request.

Graves said that the idea of weapons for him was completely outside the scope of the regulations, and as Caitlin's father, he could not know the law, which would discredit her daughter.

"Well, there's not much to say." Graves sighed, patted Trist beside him, and turned to walk to the door.

The middle-aged man thought he was going to walk out of the workshop, but he didn't expect Grey Fus to walk to the door, lock the door, and walk back again.

That's when his wife came over with a box of parts, and he began to realize that something was wrong.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry first." Trist pulls out a card, and on the back of the card is a broken chain that glows with a golden glow of magic.

……

"Jeno, where did you go some time ago? I can't find anyone even if I want to drink coffee. ”

Caitlin put her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes were blazing at the absent-minded man in front of her.

Catelyn hadn't seen Jeno for a long time since the south of the city was invaded by plants, and there seemed to be some connection between the two because of the plant invasion that happened just after Jeno returned from the city.

"I didn't go anywhere in the manor."

Caitlyn seems to be a little too lenient, and Jano doesn't want to tell her the truth about the recent supernatural events.

Supernatural events would continue, and Zelas had not been heard from since entering the rainforest, and Jeno was distraught only after he had no idea where he was.

He had been trying to find a way to target Zelas all this time, but all he knew about Zelas was that the other party was an energy collective, the embodiment of magic.

Jeno intends to make a batch of weapons out of the Forbidden Stone, but the exploration and research of new areas is slow, and if Zelas comes to Piltover now, he will have no technology to target.

If only the forbidden stone statue of Demacia could be moved.

A finger left a slight red mark on his head, and the pain pulled Jano back from his thoughts.

"Who allows you to be distracted while talking to a beautiful lady? If you don't cooperate, I'll start a routine investigation. ”

"Sorry, I just ......"

Jeno's continuous ignorance had exhausted Caitlin's patience.

"Someone found out that you were involved in the violent incident that happened at the Academy of Science and Technology a few days ago, can you tell me what happened?"

This time, Caitlin took out the note-keeping codex and quill pen and prepared for personal business.

The two monsters that appeared at the scene, one of which was the werewolf she had come into contact with, and the relevant information was also recorded in the record, but the other monster that caused damage to public property, she had no information at all.

"It happened in Zu'an, it's not your business, is it?" Jeno asked rhetorically.

"But you're in Phi City, and now you're under my control. Moreover, the Zuan Academy of Science and Technology and Magic has a stake in Picheng, and the Picheng Security is qualified to intervene in the investigation. ”

"Curiosity is so heavy, no wonder I can't get married at twenty-eight." Jeno complained, and the voice was not loud, just enough that everyone in the café could hear it.

He wanted people to notice it so that Caitlyn couldn't continue because of the crowds.

"Don't change the subject." Catelyn's serious expression was stained with an imperceptible blush, but that was about it.

Jeno thought he could go a little deeper into the topic, but the next moment Caitlyn's eyes looked like they were going to kill, and the tip of the boot kicked directly into his calf.

It hurts to be kicked by the tip of his shoe, but after all the unimaginable pain, Jeno doesn't feel anything.

"That's just a legacy of the plants after they were evacuated from Phi City, and they've been solved."

The pattern of the Twin Cities is still too small, and he is the only one in the entire Twin Cities who has a shallow understanding of the Void creatures.

"Is that so?" Caitlin will be skeptical.

If Jeno really refused to tell her, she couldn't actually force the other party to cooperate, and she had also gone to investigate the crime scene, judging from the traces left by the monster, it was really not something she could deal with.

She looked at Jeno thoughtfully for a moment, and finally she didn't write anything, and then she saw an incident recorded on the memo page, and her face turned pale and then red.

After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind to speak to him in a very cramped tone of the long-prepared dialogue:

"That...... Can you please come to my house for lunch, my parents want to meet you, right...... It's just the kind of exchange of technical experience between peers, who are also technical craftsmen like you. ”

Catelyn didn't dare to look at Jeno's expression, but his expression changed just now on the calm surface of the cold coffee, and her eyebrows were full of confusion, and now she hoped that Jeno would refuse, but she didn't want to be rejected, so she could only wait for the other party's reply uneasily.

Although it was the request of her parents, it took more courage for her to say these words on her own initiative than to break into the den of thieves alone.

And she also knows that the so-called exchange of experience is actually similar to a blind date for a surrogate daughter......

If Jeno went to her house, she couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Then she saw the reflection on the coffee, and Jeno nodded and spit out a word:

"Okay."

Caitlin was startled.

What's the situation?! How did you say yes so easily!

Jeno, have you been waiting for me to say this!

Are you interested in your sister? No, we're almost ten years apart! Full of generation gap!

I feel that Jeno can easily pass the request of his parents, am I going to marry into a wealthy family......

Even so, I will not succumb to the obscenity of the big family, and I, Caitlin, must continue this new identity and dig out all the secrets between the big families!

Sacrifice my happiness and return Piltover to a society governed by the rule of law!

Wait, I don't seem to have lost?!

……

……

"Sir, the woman in front of you is crazy about self-strategy, brainstorming your married life, and even thinking of your children's names." Hex's jealous voice popped into Jeno's mind.

Ever since the advent of the Super Electromagnetic Hand Cannon, this guy has always been intentionally or unintentionally currying favor with Jeno.

Now it often snoops into other people's minds and gives Jerno small reports, which is quite helpful to him, so that he can learn more about the expressionless Camille - the cold humanoid weapon is gradually heating up.

And this time, as soon as Hex peeked into Caitlin's mind, he was frightened away by her crazy storm of thoughts.

I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!
