No. 1 Future Avenue, which will always belong to the residence of His Excellency the First Consul of Piltover, is already late at night, and it is said that the people in No. 1 Future Avenue should have fallen asleep, and His Excellency the First Consul does not look like the existence of the night shift, but now No. 1 Future Avenue is brightly lit, and several mechanical maids in the room shuttle back and forth, serving refreshing fragrant coffee to Chu Ming, His Excellency Archon Arthur, as well as Jace, Caitlin and others who are sitting in front of the negotiation table.

Chu Ming took a sip of coffee, but saw Caitlyn looking at him with a murderous look, Chu Ming pursed his lips, no way, Chu Ming seriously injured Wei, although he didn't kill her, but he pierced Wei's chest directly, Wei had to lose one of her breasts, just now Caitlin had already gotten the news that Wei was out of danger, otherwise, she would never have sat at the same negotiation table with Chu Ming, even if her father Arthur asked for it.

Lux was close to Chu Ming, there was no way, only in this way could she feel a little bit of security, because here, everyone was staring at Chu Ming, "If you have anything to say, Your Excellency My Archon, I think you invited me here, it shouldn't be for coffee, but then this coffee is really delicious, I've already drunk four cups, but I want to have a fifth cup" Chu Ming knocked on his cup and said, and then a mechanical maid came to Chu Ming's side and poured a fifth cup of coffee for Chu Ming, Chu Ming glanced at the mechanical maid, the surface of this mechanical maid's body was not covered with imitation human skin or anything like that, so it still looked very different from the real human, the mechanical bones, and even some electronic components could be seen clearly. It is estimated that this is also to prevent the mechanical maid from being too realistic, causing some humans to have some other thoughts and actions towards the mechanical maid.

"This mechanical maid is good, get a few when you go back, someone will make the three meals, and someone usually gives a massage, makes coffee, and it's a master-level craft!" Chu Ming looked at the mechanical maid and thought to herself.

"Of course, I invited you here to negotiate with you, and this is about your future and that of Piltover!" Arthur said to Chu Ming expressionlessly, outside the No. 1 Future Avenue are rows of heavily armed mechanical soldiers, as well as Camille and Oriana, two elite-level existences, plus Jace's words, Arthur thinks that he can suppress Chu Ming, but he also expressed a strong recognition of Chu Ming's strength, Chu Ming is too powerful than ordinary human heroes, but Arthur thinks that Chu Ming is still inferior to the existence of a human sage like the bald tattoo Great Demon King.

"Okay, let's talk, let's talk" Chu Ming said very indifferently, now that Lux is by Chu Ming's side, it is not difficult for Chu Ming to take Lux to kill Piltover, once Chu Ming turns on the demonization and makes Smaug, the hundreds of mechanical soldiers outside are simply joking, Chu Ming can die a large number of people with an axe!

"The Hextech prototype is in your hands, right?" Arthur asked Chu Ming, because Jace had already told him before that the Hextech prototype was taken away by Chu Ming, and it was useless for Chu Ming to deny this matter, Arthur had already determined that the Hextech prototype was on Chu Ming's body, "Of course, I don't deny this, I got it from Jace's secret room, and now it's lying in my space equipment" Chu Ming generously admitted that Chu Ming also admitted to the matter of space equipment, Because it is common to equip this kind of thing in the space of the Rune Continent, although it is not enough for everyone to have one, but the demigod-level powerhouses should have it.

"Very good, I like your honesty, then since you want to get the Hextech prototype, then the Hextech core must be in your hands, otherwise, it won't be useful for you to just get the Hextech core!" Arthur directly pointed out that the Hextech core was in Chu Ming's hands, I have to say that Arthur still has the intuition that he should have as a politician, he guessed correctly at all, Jace and Caitlin listened to Arthur's words, the whole person became nervous, Arthur clenched the giant hammer in his hand, and Caitlin searched around and didn't find her sniper rifle, she only remembered at this time that her sniper rifle was thrown out of the door, and the Hextech core was too important to Piltover, With the Hextech Core and the Hextech Prototype, Piltover will once again become a city of technology and gain great vitality.

At this time, as long as Arthur gives an order, Jace will slam his giant hammer on Chu Ming's skull, in order to regain the core of Hextech, Jace is fully willing to fight with Chu Ming again.

"It was Victor who stole the core of Hextech in the first place, why do you think that the core of Hextech is in my hands?" Chu Ming smiled at Arthur and asked, "Oh, Victor? It turned out to be him, he was also one of the scientists who studied Hextech back then, after the Hextech core was stolen, he also disappeared, and we also suspected him at the beginning, but then we didn't find any evidence, so we gradually canceled the investigation of Victor, but I didn't expect it to be him" Arthur was taken aback when he heard Chu Ming say that the Hextech core was stolen by Victor back then.

"What I want to know now is whether the core of Hextech is in your hands!" Arthur suddenly found that Chu Ming had a bit of a meaning to change the topic, and hurriedly asked Chu Ming.

Chu Ming didn't say anything else, and directly took out the nail-sized Hex technology core from the space of the old silver, looking at the light blue Hex technology core, Jace got up suddenly, the giant hammer in his hand had begun to flicker with an arc, and a trace of cold sweat came out of Jace's head, as long as Arthur gave an order, Jace would fight Chu Ming to the end, even if he paid his own life, he would leave the Hex technology core, Chu Ming took out the Hex technology core, Jace didn't make any moves, That's too much to say.

"Jace, calm down" Arthur said after glancing at the Hex Technology Core, he understood that Chu Ming could boldly take out the Hex Technology Core, which naturally had the capital to protect it, and the more casual Chu Ming was, the more Arthur would not dare to do anything with Chu Ming.

"Say, how do you talk about it?" Chu Ming said to Arthur, and after finishing speaking, he put away the Hextech core again, waiting for Arthur to give him an answer, after Jace listened to Arthur's words, he sat down unwillingly, and put down the giant hammer in his hand, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Chu Ming, once Chu Ming made a move, or Arthur had an order, Jace could react quickly.

"You have the Hextech core in your hands, and you also have the Hextech prototype, but there is a question, do you know how to start the Hextech prototype? And the Hextech prototype in your hand is not complete, we have disassembled several parts, unless we give you all these parts, otherwise, you have no way to use the Hextech prototype" Arthur said to Chu Ming, and in an instant, Arthur grasped the initiative in negotiation, the Hextech prototype was incomplete, it really cost Chu Ming's life.

"I knew it!" Chu Ming gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "You start the Hextech prototype, and I will take away the scientific knowledge backup inside, and give you the complete Hextech prototype, how about it?" Chu Ming said generously to Arthur, all Chu Ming needs is the knowledge in the Hex Technology prototype, as long as he gets the knowledge inside, then the Hex Technology prototype is just a dispensable thing for Chu Ming.

"You are very sincere" Arthur raised his eyebrows after listening to Chu Ming's words and said, Chu Ming knew that things were bad as soon as he saw Arthur's expression, and the concessions he made were a little too big, and a politician like Arthur was very likely to gain an inch.

"No, the prototype belongs to you, and the complete prototype belongs to you, we just need the knowledge backup inside" Arthur said something to Chu Ming that Chu Ming didn't understand.

"What conditions and requirements do you have, it's best to say them all in one breath" Chu Ming said to Arthur, saying that here Chu Ming's eyes on Arthur were already very wrong, because he couldn't figure out what Arthur, the old fox, wanted to do.

"Okay, I like to talk to people like you, I used to be a soldier, those long-winded, dirty and despicable politicians are what I hate" Arthur said, Chu Ming heard that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because Arthur seemed to be a politician, he scolded himself, "Your strength should be very strong, I heard that you are from the Land of Runeterra?" Then I think in Noxus, there should be few people in Demacia who are your opponents" Arthur glanced at Chu Ming with interest at this time, Arthur saw Chu Ming smash Camille's knife leg with a punch, and he also had a relatively full understanding of Chu Ming's strength.

"That's right, I'm not modest anymore, in Noxus, I defeated Svein" Chu Ming directly admitted his record, Svein is the most powerful existence in Noxus, Chu Ming has defeated Svein, which shows that no one in Noxus should be Chu Ming's opponent.

"Very good, I like your honesty, Noxus is a country with only blood and fire, in their eyes there are only enemies and slaves, now Ionia has been defeated by Noxus, Ionia is conquered by Noxus, this is a matter of time, when Noxus attacks Ionia, then where is his next goal? Is it the dirty and backward industrial area of Zuan? Or is it savage, cold, and guarded by too many demigods? Or is it their old rival Demacia? Or the city of Bandel of those grumpy yodelers in the distance? No, as long as Noxus solves Ionia, the next target is our Piltover! Arthur said to Chu Ming.

"Why, you're not going to let me go and defeat the entire army of Noxus, are you? How can I be alone, I can't fight against the 100,000 army of Noxus" Chu Ming suddenly thought of Arthur's main idea.

"Of course not, I just want you to help Ionia and help Ionia resist the invasion of Noxus this time, as long as Noxus fails in Ionia this time, then Noxus will not have the strength to fight again within ten years, and we Piltover can also get ten years of development! As for how to do it, it's up to you" Arthur said to Chu Ming, speaking of which, it was still for the sake of Piltover's safety.

"I know very well how much of a role you can play on the battlefield with your strength, in order not to give Noxus an excuse to start a war against us, I will not give you any assistance this time, as long as you repel Noxus's army in Ionia, then the complete Hex prototype is yours, I will do it!" Arthur told Chu Ming his ultimate goal.

"Whew, can you change it, can I use the money to buy a prototype of Hextech? It's okay for any amount of money, I will definitely not bargain" Chu Ming really didn't want to get involved in a big war, but he didn't want to give up the Hextech prototype.

"No, if you don't promise you to leave now, the Hextech prototype is incomplete in your hands and has no effect, or you can spend hundreds of years unlocking the secrets in the core of Hextech, or you think you can hold me hostage under the protection of hundreds of mechanical soldiers, but I won't tell you where the parts of the Hextech prototype are hidden, I promise!" Arthur drank the coffee in his cup in one gulp, and the mechanical maid filled Arthur with coffee.

Chu Ming stared at Arthur, and Arthur stared at Chu Ming without fear, and the two of them looked at each other like this for half an hour.

"As long as Noxus retreats from Ionia?" Chu Ming asked Arthur, "As long as Noxus retreats, you don't need to kill all the Noxus soldiers, that's unrealistic," Arthur replied affirmatively.

"Well, I need to get the knowledge inside the Hextech prototype before I leave!" Chu Ming continued.
