Chapter 232: The Perfect Crime

Piltover, a high-tech city-state outside of the three major city-states.

Celeste used to be a saboteur on the black street of Zuan. She is irritable, hot-tempered, vicious, and disdainful of authority.

Wei has been alone since she was a child, so she has developed a survival instinct and a vicious and mean sense of humor. Now, Vi works with the Piltover guards to maintain the peace of Pitt City. Relying on a pair of giant Hextech fists in her hand, whether it is an iron wall or a psychological defense, it is not a problem.

Vi has almost no memories of her childhood, and the fragments she can remember are also unbearable for her to look back on. She grew up with an underground gang and soon learned to use her mind and fists to survive.

A pair of steel and iron bones is just as crucial, and everyone who has met Wei will see her ability to use brute force or words to settle troublesome things. Most of the time, of course, it's the former.

When Wei was young, the old people around her didn't know anything about her parents and her origins. Most people speculate that her parents died in an industrial accident, but sadly, industrial accidents in Zaun are commonplace.

Some elderly people said that they vaguely remembered that Wei was from the "House of Hope". The dilapidated orphanage was nestled in the cave-filled cliffs of Zuan. There was also a famous gutter maniac thug who said on his deathbed that he had picked it up, while she was lying in a double cradle, abandoned in the ruins of an alchemy laboratory.

In the end, Vi gave up any plans to pursue her parents. She began to understand that some things are better not knowing than knowing.

Vi gradually made a name for herself in the gangsters of the underground city, and rumors about her origins began to emerge. The pink messy hair makes Wei the most recognizable figure in the streets and alleys of Zu'an;

Chased by angry shopkeepers, running through the glittering arcades of the border market; Or swaggering down the colorful bazaars in the narrow alleys;

Or take a ride on a Hex pressure conveyor to Piltover. As long as there is a planned robbery or a scam in the making, there must be a share of Wei. Although she is notoriously troublemaker, she strictly follows her own rules: stealing things must not ruin people, and hurting people must not indiscriminately harm innocents.

As she grows and matures, Vi forms her own gang, and the small fights as children eventually turn into a rampage between adults.

She is unreasonable, tyrannical and perverse, and her passion for fists is still beyond ordinary people. Although she was always able to hold on to the end of the dispute, she often had a bruised nose and swollen face and new injuries. Years of gang life have led Vi to meet the owner of a bar on the outskirts of Narrow Alley, and the two have become good friends.

The bar owner succeeds in convincing her of dangerous tendencies that can lead to self-destruction, reinforcing Vi's code of conduct, teaching her how to exercise self-control in battle, and even teaching her how to channel her unquenchable anger.

Although the barowner has been subtly guiding Vi, her gang has always been in Zu'an, because the alchemy barons have also turned a blind eye. They knew Vi and her men would come in handy. Wei quickly became famous, accepting money from people to eliminate disasters for others, and never asked more.

Although a criminal career was all she had, Righteousness began to torture her conscience more and more often, because she could not avoid the destruction caused by herself and the rest of the gang.

The last straw that broke Wei's conscience was a robbery in collaboration with other gangs that targeted an alchemy technology mining facility that had recently dug up crystal-rich veins.

Vi overhears the miners' chats in the bar and learns when a batch of ore will be paid, so she begins to plot to rob the mine owner of his money. Her plan needed more people to carry it out, so Vi had to bring in the Fangmu Devils to act together. The plan was originally going well, but unexpectedly, the boss of the Devil Gang manipulated an alchemy-powered mining golem and killed the mine owner with a bursting iron fist.

His younger brothers drove the miners into the mines, blew up the entrances and exits, and finally overloaded the mining golem system to kill people. This act of reckless disregard for human life and wanton destruction made Wei furious. What a perfect crime, but it was all ruined by this group of madmen!

The Devils took their share of the money and fled, but the miners were all trapped underground and would soon suffocate to death. Vi couldn't help it, so she quickly grabbed the power fist on her hand before the golem's system exploded.

The wrist joint of the fist glove bit Wei's arm, but she endured the severe pain and forced a way to open the entrance and exit and save the miners.

After the miners were saved, Wei and her men took the rest of the money and slipped away. The next day, Wei Dengmen visited the Fangmu Devil Gang.

The power gloves were still on her hands, and she alone taught the whole gang a good lesson with her fists. To this day, the fear of that day still circulates among Zaun's gangs.

This mine robbery completely awakened Wei's conscience. Since then, she has vowed to only work with people she trusts. She took the Explosive Iron Fist and refined it to make it less scorching when she used it, and could break any seemingly impregnable treasury, take away the money, technology, and anything she wanted to steal.

During a period of turmoil, Cele disappeared from the city of Zaun, when relations between Zaan and Piltover were extremely strained.

There are rumors among the gang that Cele died in a massive explosion in the center of Zuan, but others say that she fled to a distant island.

When the truth was finally revealed, people were all dumbfounded: the old hungry ghost Scar was served in a pot. The gang's serial murder has been done to Piltover, eventually bringing in Sheriff Pitz - and her new friend, Vi.

The former Zaun gang boss is now employed by Piltover to guard, and she has also undergone hardware upgrades. She swapped out her original alchemy-powered gloves for a pair of prototype Hextech gloves.

She seems to have become more mature, as if she had witnessed and experienced many things before being transformed and reborn. The Wei in the streets and alleys of Zu'an still has her own shadow, but she has matured a little now, and she has also seen that there is only one ending to the path she once had.

No one knows how Vi and Caitlyn's collaboration began, and only they know the secrets behind the two. However, given Piltover's recent crime spike, there is widespread speculation that their union was brokered by a third person.

That little blue-haired maniac from Zaun......
