Levik thinks he's done the trick - by learning from Hextech's example, he and Oriana explain the reasons why they can't be involved in the Zaun incident now, and they succeed in convincing Oriana.

Then, just when Levik was happy about his daughter's empathy, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

That's right, Rod didn't give him a chance to make amends at all, and directly chose to cut first and then play!

(It may seem strange to say that, but...... It's a fact. ）

Then, just as Levik slapped his head, the drain of the toilet came with the long-lost sound of pumping......

Look at it, it's so fast!

Who would believe that person who said that person was not prepared in advance?!

Well, in fact, Liwick really wronged Rhodes at this point, and none of Rhodes's arrangements were aimed at the target - most of Piltover's sewers of independent Hex's inventors could be converted into logistics centers at any time.

It's just that Rhodes still needs to put some effort into it - who knows that he met Oriana directly.

Just as Levik was angry, there was an awkward but polite knock on the toilet door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Levick at home?"

……………………

To be honest, even with Rod's cheekiness, he couldn't bear it when facing Levik.

This thing...... Rod did not do very well.

Strictly speaking, Rhodes is also "implicating unrelated people in the name of justice", which is actually very bad.

But - Rhodes has his own plans.

Fundamentally, this kind of "involvement" is not necessarily a bad thing, because Rhodes is not a person who doesn't care about it at the beginning, and for Oriana, as long as she follows Rhodes' plan, there are only benefits, not harms.

As for your statement that Rhodes interfered with the free will of Orianna and Levik......

Rhodes can swear that he is absolutely not lying, not cheating, not intentionally inducing.

Rod won't hurt Oriana either - for Rhodes, her identity is more like a bridge of communication, nothing more.

But in Liwick's view, this is not the case.

This smiling mage is just a jerk!

He took advantage of Oriana's kindness and pulled Oriana, who could have stayed out of the way, into the game!

Because of this, Levik's first reaction after seeing Rod was to take out the Hextech revolver.

"Calm down, sir—I'm here with good intentions—please put down your Hex's revolver, that thing's bullets are precious as far as I know!"

"Shut up, bastard!" Levik's eyes widened, "If you collapse and you can solve the problem, I'd rather not have this shop and shoot!" ”

Levik didn't lie, if he could clear the relationship by killing Rod, he would definitely not hesitate to make a move - but now, his own sewer is inexplicably connected to Zuan, and as long as he makes a little movement, it will be the result of yellow mud falling off his crotch.

If the Supreme Council knew about it......

Not to mention whether those councilors will do it themselves, they even need to announce that they are related to Zu An, and those guys who have suffered losses because of Zu An will definitely form a group to find trouble for themselves.

This damn Zuan man has carried forward the point of "barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes" to the extreme, and in Livic's opinion, after he is stained with Zuan, he will lose everything!

It was with this in mind that Levik gave Rhodes a chance to speak.

"Mr. Liwick, I have come to Piltover this time with the goodwill of Zaun, and I don't think Piltover and Zaun should always maintain such a confrontational posture."

"I don't want to hear that from you." Without hesitation, Liwick interrupted Rhodes, "If you really have good intentions, then it is better to go to the Supreme Council of Piltover, there is no point in looking for me." ”

"No, it's because we really have good intentions towards Piltover that I'm coming to you." Rod kept his smile on his face, "The Supreme Council of Piltover won't promise peace with Zaun - you know, they don't need Zaun as an equal to Picheng......"

"Shut up." Levik interrupted Rodes's words in time, then turned to look at Oriana, "Baby, will you go back to your room first?" ”

"Why?"

"Wait a minute, Dad will explain it to you later."

Despite a little dissatisfaction, Oriana chose to listen to Livic and returned to her room.

After Oriana closed the door to her room, the way Levik looked at Rhodes completely changed.

It seems to look ...... Explosives are the same.

"I know what you're talking about, but I want you to stop your ridiculous thoughts - I could even promise you all I can to help Zaun, but ......"

"Why bother, Mr. Levik." Rhodes interrupted Liwick's statement, "The Supreme Council of Piltover is not Piltover, they used to be the most advanced and progressive representatives of the city, but now, they are not!" ”

"Isn't it not necessary for you Zuan people to judge!" Hearing Rod say this, Levik subconsciously raised his tone, "Moreover, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Again, I don't want to get involved in any of this!"

Levik made a strong statement.

In Livic's view, there were some problems with the Supreme Council of Piltover, but this was not something that the Zaans should meddle in.

In other words, in Liwick's view, the contradiction between Zuan and Picheng is greater than the contradiction within Picheng.

Rod sighed softly.

That's the crux of the problem.

Most of the people of Picheng were aware of the Supreme Council's problems, but they didn't want Zaun to get involved—people like Catherine were in the minority.

What Rhodes has always wanted is to show Zaun's positive side and tell Mrs. Piltworth that Zaun is actually closer to you than the high Leather City Supreme Council.

Merely...... This seems like a long way to go!

Looking at Levik with a guarded face, Rod shook his head.

"Well, then, Mr. Levik—I'm sorry."

"What?"

"Shackles of the Burning Sun!"
