Chapter 117: Conflict

Jagu locked himself in his study, looking for a way out of the game, and stayed up all night.

Whether it was because of personal ambition or because of the responsibility of the Myrdalda family, Jagu Myrdda could not be restrained - since he had chosen to fight radically against Zaun, this road would go all the way to the black.

Rhodes' underestimation at the beginning caused the entire plan to collapse, and now Jagu must make the mistake right.

However, fortunately, not all enemies on this road, at least Jagu thought of a helper who was very suitable for him.

The dark arbiter of Leather City, the defender of the interests of the big family, the green steel shadow Camille.

Remember where the woman who turned both of her legs into Hex's prosthetics was last seen?

That's right, it was when Zaun went to war with Noxus to help Picheng transport supplies.

Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean that Camille and Rhodes have any special relationship, and that aid is just the price that Pitt paid for Zaun not to join Noxus.

Confirming this goal, Jagu got into the Hex hovercar and set out on his way to the Firos family.

Although Camille was vaguely aware of Jagu's previous plans and had always been at odds with him (Camille was against personal governance and supported the Supreme Council), in this case, Jague felt that Camille would stand by his side.

……………………

On the other side, when Jagu finds his new partner, Rhodes and his partner seem to have some unpleasantness.

After Rhodes repelled and captured a group of Leather City Garrisons head-on, the next morning, when Rod found Catherine again, the Leather City policewoman seemed to have some opinions about Rod.

"You've broken our promise, Rod." Looking at Rhodes, who appeared in her office again, Catherine seemed dissatisfied, "Those Picheng armaments are innocent, and your spells have caused hundreds of families to be shattered!" ”

Rod gave Catherine a strange look.

"Dear Miss Catherine, we are now trying to overthrow a city-state, and then establish a new order, the death of hundreds of people...... In the midst of the subversion of a city-state, it is not worth mentioning. ”

"It's different." Catherine's blue eyes were fixed on Rod, "They're just doing what they're told. ”

"So." Rod shrugged, "That's their duty, soldiers are not innocent civilians in war." ”

"But they have no ill will." Catherine again emphasized, "Don't make excuses, you know what I mean"

Seeing that Catherine became reluctant, Rod also had a rare temper.

"What are you doing...... Criticize me? ”

Then, before Catherine could retort, Rhodes was already spraying at Catherine with full firepower.

"Put away your playhouse, revolution is not a dinner party!"

"It is impossible to change Piltover's current state without bloodshed!"

"When is there good and evil in a soldier in war and whether it is time to die?"

"How can you be so naïve as an adult?!"

"There is a kung fu that is not happy with me, you go to the Supreme Council to protest, they are the culprit of everything!"

"If you can't do it, shut up and listen to me in peace!"

Although he had long known that people like Catherine, who valued kindness and justice very much, would have a conflict of ideas with him, Rhodes really didn't expect that this level would make Catherine a little unbearable.

Sure enough, the kind and orderly guys are very troublesome.

Especially Catherine, who is still unwilling to accept some small means for a brighter purpose.

Catherine was directly stunned by Rod's snort.

Originally, she had made up her mind to ask Rhodes about her guilt, but she was dominated by Rhodes' words.

In Catherine's opinion, she had to put some pressure on Rhodes to make sure that the guy acted with concerns—and at the same time, Catherine had to keep Piltover's bottom line.

In her previous collaboration with Rhodes, Catherine's goal was nothing more than "return justice to Piltover", but as things got bigger, everything seemed to deviate from her expectations.

That's right, it wasn't until a while ago that Catherine realized that she had been fooled by Rod.

There are actually many ways to appeal for fairness and justice, and Catherine, who cooperated with Rod, embarked on the most violent path under Rod's guidance......

This embarrassed Catherine!

What's more, Catherine, after thinking about it carefully, found that she didn't seem to have any means to restrain Rod, if Lot really overthrew the Supreme Council of Pitts...... If he wants to annex Piltover further, he can't seem to stop it!

This is absolutely not a no-go!

Catherine, who thought she would be in control of the situation, could only try to snatch the rhythm back from Rhodes' hands after realizing that she was playing big. Merely...... It's late!

Rhodes was initially very honest, and this honesty made Catherine subconsciously underestimate how terrible Rhodes himself was.

Catherine, who is insensitive to conspiracy, can't be like LeBlanc and impress Rhodes just by learning what he did.

To put it simply, Catherine didn't realize how good Rhodes was working with her before.

Although Rod is very honest, he does not tell Catherine everything he has done in Zaun, and the goal of the two has always been Leather City......

(But then again, Rhodes really wasn't interested in Piltover, and there wasn't a god here who was guarding the city...... )

Looking at Catherine, who was sprayed in front of him in a little stunned, Rod finally showed a wicked smile.

"Miss Catherine, suspicion of allies is not only tasteless, but pointless." Rod looked at the nervous Catherine and could lower his voice, "If I really want to tear up the agreement, what can you rely on to force me to fulfill my responsibilities?" ”

Catherine's chest began to heaval with displeasure at Rod looking nonchalant - but soon, the sniper's instinct forced her to calm down.

Looking away, Catherine tried not to pay attention to Rod's dark eyes - hmph, Rod's guy just has a bit of ability in his mouth!

Remembering the information she had searched, Catherine gritted her teeth again and firmly thought that he was a follower of Cana, and that Picheng and Zuan were mutually beneficial, and that he could not make trouble.

As if sensing Catherine's thoughts, Rhodes got up from Catherine's chair and stood beside her.

Rod, who was a head taller, condescendedly and narrowed his eyes slightly at Catherine.

"So, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable, and I hope you will recognize that."

"You!" Catherine craned her neck slightly, "You violent mage......"

"What happened to the Violent Mage?" Rod disagreed, "Or is it reasonable for you to have a long neck?" ”

Just as Rod raised his momentum to the apex, the door to Catherine's office was opened.

"Bastard, let go and start Catherine!"
