『Chapter error, click here to report』

Camille, an elegant elite agent, a sophisticated humanoid weapon. Wandering on the fringes of the law, she carefully maintained the Piltover machine and the Zuan beneath it with great force, a nimble mind, and a nuanced sense of observation, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

Of course, such a situation is not innate, at first, she was in the Philos family, which had complicated etiquette and worry-free food and clothing, and lived an orderly, relaxed and happy life. It was only after a series of changes in the world that she finally grew into the family's chief agent, using her scalpel-like precision to eradicate those secret family problems......

Much of the Philos family's wealth comes from a rare crystal—a creature from a distant canyon. The original Hex Crystal, also known as the "Primordial Crystal", is said to exist only in those creatures that are born with magical powers.

The connection between the two began during an expedition in which Camille's great-great-aunt, Elicia, lost an arm and nearly lost her own life. Her sacrifice will be remembered by posterity, and thus it will become a kind of foreshadowing. To this day, we can still glimpse this psychology from the motto of the Philos family: I am willing to give to my family.

The creatures that Elycia Philos has found, known as the Shell Race, are not an inexhaustible resource, and Camille's ancestors must find a way to multiply the crystals they have found. So the Philos family made some secret investments in rune alchemy and chemical technology, and finally made a less powerful but mass-produced synthetic Hex Crystal. And the consequences of such an energy quest have made the synthetic crystal industry considered by many to be the main cause of the haze in Zu'an.

But in the face of force and economic interests, what is a little pollution? It didn't take long for Piltover to welcome the famous blue-smoked estate, the Philos family, which became one of the richest families in Pittown.

It was also in this wealthy estate that Rodri and Goma welcomed their sixth child, Camille, and the couple became heads of the family. However, only Camille and her younger brother Stivan survived to adulthood.

As the surviving eldest daughter in the family, the energy of the entire family is focused on her. Camille received the finest education, and at an early age was instilled with an aristocratic attitude and a profound sense of responsibility. And because Piltover attracted a large number of elite talents from all over Valoran, Camille never lacked teachers.

As a result, she was fluent in the Zhiyun dialect of southern Ionia and the official dialect of Noxus; became interested in Valoran history under the influence of his elders; While helping his father with his mining work in the Audine Gorge, he learned to read and write the ancient Shurima language; The cello performed at the concert is a master's ......

However, this series of achievements is not as far-reaching as Camille's other growth, which has had a profound impact on Leather City and even Zuan-

In Piltover's powerful family, the chief agents of each family are selected from among the younger generations, and they are the sword and shield of the family. Once chosen, they must serve the interests of the family wholeheartedly, working with the head of the family to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family at any cost.

As for the Firos family, because there are too many secrets, they are always extra cautious about the selection of people for this position, and they will also invest a staggering amount of resources to ensure that their secret agents can be superior. Camille's younger brother, Stevane, was born frail and simply could not take on this responsibility. Her parents, especially her father, were immensely proud to see Camille replace Stewan as chief agent. Perhaps inevitably, Stivan's jealousy began to grow as he saw his sister receive more instruction and training.

As the years passed, Camille became more adept at fighting, stealth, and interrogation. Her favorite martial arts technique is to fight with the leg blade from Shangzan; use classical inquiring techniques to obtain information; There's also rappelling with hooked ropes from a dilapidated bell tower – a set obtained from the Western Python Islands.

Then, when Camille was twenty-five years old, she and her father were attacked by a gang of gangsters who had undergone alchemical enhancements. These people want to make their way through the underworld of Zu'an, and they feel that the secrets of the Philos family are profitable. Camille and her father were both injured, and she eventually recovered, but her father died. Her mother could not bear the grief that would upend the family, and soon followed him.

Resisting her grief, Camille stood up for her brother, and the position of head of the family was successfully passed to her brother Stivan.

With a new young, eager new head of the family, and a desire to prove himself to be a strong leader of the family, he doubled down on research on the enhancement of human Hextech technology.

And after a whole year of mourning, the Philos family put on the lights and ushered in another interview ceremony for the day of evolution. Stivan personally chose Hakim Nedri as the family's supernatural chief mechanic. This promising young man was a well-known crystallographer from Bergunn, a small coastal town in Shurima.

Seeing Hakim's unusually strong scientific research and practical ability, Camille, who had always felt guilty for failing to protect her father, asked Hakim to perform Hex-augmentation surgery on her heart system, which had no clinical cases at the time, to break the limits that could not be broken through as a human being.

But she didn't know that when Hakim first met her, he had already fallen in love with her and was determined to bring her out of the shadow left by the death of her parents. For this reason, although Hakim verbally promised her, he announced the date of the operation far away at the beginning.

In the time they quietly gained, the two worked together, and even shared folk tales on the Shurima Desert at night, and their friendship grew deeper. And months of intimate work and life forced Camille to admit her emotions.

As the surgery date approached, their relationship became more and more inseparable, as both knew very well that the completion of the surgery would mean their separation. Hakim will move on to other family projects, and Camille will once again devote himself to his duties as an agent. On top of that, Hakim was more worried that when he cut Camille's heart, he might cut too deep and destroy her humanity as well......

So, just a few days before Camille underwent surgery, Hakim finally couldn't help it. He proposes to Camille and begs her to elope with him. He depicts a future in which the two walk on the sunny sands of Bergunne; Excavate the ruins of ancient Shurima together; Raise their children together...... The family responsibility that bound Camille will no longer exist. For the first time in her life, Camille was shaken.

But all this was noticed by Stivan, and Stivan's position as the head of the family largely depended on Camille's execution. When he hears of the secret marriage proposal, realizes that his chief agent could leave at any moment, and that his power in the family is in danger, he resolves to devise a plan to remind Camille of the vows she had made before her father.

On one occasion, when Camille was about to go to see Hakim, Stivan arranged an attack against him. Although his weak body made it difficult for him to achieve his ambitions, he had an extra bonus when he struggled in front of his sister in front of his sister, and the helplessness and painful dark memories of his inability to protect his father all came to Camille's heart. Camille couldn't turn a blind eye to the blood on her hands—that's what happens when an agent gets distracted.

Hakim, who was deliberately concealed and learned late, begged Camill bitterly, but she asked herself that she could not bear it. The responsibility of the secret agent is passed down from generation to generation, and if she is always vigilant, her father's life and her brother's safety will not be lost. She insisted on surgery and soon severed her relationship with Hakim.

Hakim still loves Camille, and he knows that no one but himself can do the operation properly. In order to prevent his lover from dying on the operating table, he agreed to Camille's request and gouged out her heart with his own hands. When he was sure that the new mechanism would work on its own, he left the Philos house. When Camille awoke, she saw that the lab where she and Hakim had worked together had long since been empty......

Camille threw herself into her work, performing Hex's augmentation surgeries one after another, constantly strengthening her blades, hooks, and other devices. With each improvement, it is not only the limits of Camille, but also the frontier of biotechnology. This makes many people wonder how much human part is left in this young lady. And this suspicion also stems from the growing wealth and power of the Philos family, and Camille's mission for Stevan is getting darker and bloodier.

More gossip continued to accompany Camille. Thanks to Hextech's artificial heart and crystal energy, she is eternally young, and there is no trace of the passage of time on her body. The only time scratch that could not be seen but existed was that her mind gradually became as sharp as the blade under her. And in the midst of this, Hakim Nedri has finally become a distant memory.

Correspondingly, time was not very tolerant of her brother. Stevan's body grew weaker and weaker, but he held the position of head of the house tighter and tighter.

It's just that the trajectory of fate is not something that you can hold on to. During a recent mission, Camille broke the doomed marriage of a naïve Leather City girl, and a series of twists and turns ensued revealed Stevan's betrayal. The lie that had driven Hakim away now threatened the fate of Camille and the entire family. She also finally saw his greed and tricks, this completely selfish soul has long left the interests of the entire family behind. At that moment, she completely let go of her last trace of affection for her brother and completely controlled the authority of the Philos family.

Now, Camille has her favorite great-niece as the head of the house, and behind her back, she directs how to deal with public affairs. Because from the beginning to the end, Camille saw himself as an expert at solving difficult problems, rather than a mere commander waiting in the rear.

In addition, the energy of the Hexcrystal surged through her veins, and she was never satisfied with sitting at home. Instead, she enjoys well-planned espionage operations, a cup of freshly brewed tea while watching a play, and a long stroll through the haze.

As a result, she was able to continue her more secretive activities without mind the physical transformation and sharp criticism, secretly protecting her family and maintaining the order and balance of Picheng and even Zu'an.

And today, a conspicuous variable in the situation in Picheng has appeared, so she has appeared, just waiting for an opportunity to write the end with death, or capture.
