Supreme Council of Piltover - emergency meeting.

In the huge conference room, thirteen people sat around a large round table.

The fine sunken wood round table looked quaint and elegant, but because these people didn't say a word, the whole room seemed a little empty—even the bright yellow carpet gave people a gray feeling in the gloomy weather.

Piltover is now in a situation beyond the imagination of all the commissioners.

The public sentiment was turbulent, and the voices of protest came and went one after another for a while, and they went straight to the core.

The people who can sit here may not be politicians, but at least qualified politicians - they know very well what the protests mean now.

Piltover is not Noxus – a city that flaunts freedom and progress, and where civil power has never been small.

In many cases, the Hex scientists and Hex inventors who did not join the management committee were the silent majority, but when they stood together and made their voices clear, the Supreme Council was helpless for a while.

They are not businessmen — the Supreme Council has a way to deal with businessmen, but there is no way to deal with them.

Why did Jace become the Guardian of the Future?

Of course, there are reasons why he defeated Victor, but more importantly, Jace is a native of Mrs. Piltworth and an independent Hex inventor!

For such a person, even the Supreme Council cannot go too far - so if it cannot be suppressed, it can only put a high hat on him.

Guardians of the Future.

Now it seems that the hat is working well, and Jace is becoming more and more arrogant, largely losing contact with his former colleagues, and becoming more and more dependent on research and development funds from the Supreme Council.

Regarding the impact of the upheaval in Zuan, the Supreme Council also planned to adopt a procrastination trick at the beginning, although it was prepared, but the core was to consume it with Zuan - when Zuan could not hold on, Mrs. Piltworth could only follow herself to the dark.

Now, though, the procrastination trick is no longer valid.

Although the committee members still don't know why the group of guys who usually only know how to work with their heads down have opened up, but in the case of a fait accompli, that point is no longer important, what matters is what they do next.

"We need to cut through the mess quickly." The commissioner on duty, Jagu Midarda, finally sighed and said, "Drag it on...... I'm afraid it's giving Zaun a chance - now, should we take a step forward, or take a step back? ”

There was no one to pick up.

A step forward means a more aggressive approach, a step back means a temporary détente, and that is now the most important issue before the Supreme Council.

Seeing that no one was talking, Jagu activated the voting machine.

"Red is a step forward, blue is a step back – people can make their own choices."

The button for the voting machine is on the inside of the armrest of the chair – red on the left and blue on the right, and no one will know which one you pressed.

In the center of the round table, the numbers behind the red and blue signs began to jump.

Outcome...... Unsurprisingly 6:6.

Jagu shook his head.

Each of the committee members is an old fox, and when there is a profit, they all strive to be the first, and now when they have to take responsibility, everyone has played tacit understanding again.

According to the rules of the Supreme Council, there are two rounds after the vote is initiated, the first round of initiators does not vote, and the remaining 12 people vote - if there is a difference in the number of votes, then according to the result of the vote; If there is no difference in the number of votes, the opinion of the initiator of the vote will be followed.

The meaning of this provision is to "clearly divide responsibilities", which in layman's terms is to throw the blame.

Now, the pot was thrown in Jagu's face.

Well, in fact, the 6:6 result is not all because everyone is throwing the blame - remember the identity of the members of the Supreme Council?

Some of them are plutocracy, large business conglomerates that control Piltover; Some are learning valves, mastering and monopolizing cutting-edge Hextech technology.

The two were on the same side a lot of the time, but this time when faced with the Zuan issue, they had a disagreement.

The chaebols are willing to make limited concessions.

Although communicating with Zuan on an equal footing will cost them a lot of wealth, their family has a big business and a lot of money in their hands, and even if they cooperate on an equal footing, these funds can ensure that they always have a head start.

But it is impossible for the school valve to budge.

Let's see who is doing it this time!

Not those independent businessmen, but those independent Hex scientists and Hex inventors!

This speaks volumes about the fact that the chaebols still maintain their suppression of small businessmen, but the scholars have lost their intellectual suppression!

At this time, if you open another opening......

Considering the prevalent belief of Zaun in that Cana – once a large number of lies have been exposed, an academic empire will collapse far faster than a business empire.

And it's the kind that can't be saved.

The foundation of the plutocracy is wealth, and the foundation of the scholars is knowledge - they are the most staunch "diehards" because they are trying to hold others back in order to ensure their own status when the scholars themselves stop progressing.

So at such times, the scholars have chosen radical strategies, and only radical strategies can keep their stubbornness.

Now, the final voting power is back in Jagu's hands.

Jagu Myrdalda comes from the Myrdalda family, a family of small businessmen who invested heavily in technology after becoming prospered, and is the most sophisticated of the thirteen people here.

Looking at the faces of the other parliamentarians, who were either gloomy or hypocritical, Jagu pursed his lips.

A bunch of bad old men.

Unlike the hereditary families, Jagu was able to sit here by his own struggle - the Myrdalda family had recently squeezed out the previous family to join the Supreme Council, and unlike those who wanted to keep their interests, Jagu had some other thoughts in his heart.

If you solve the crisis yourself, will you be able to go further?

Looking at the confident smiles of the chaebol representatives, Jagu finally made his choice.

The red light came on, and Jagu opted for an aggressive strategy.

Jagu made his choice, and the other twelve were dumbfounded.
