Ryan paced to Mel's side, followed by Katarina, who was guarding the strong man in Moxigan

Seeing the purple droplets dripping from the airship, he didn't need the other party to answer to know what was happening.

According to Noxus' intelligence, a genius alchemist in Zaun has invented an alchemical potion called Shimmer, which taps into and unleashes the body's potential.

But unfortunately, it is not universal, it is addictive, and it is a huge loss of physical function for weak individuals, so it is not suitable for popularization in Noxus.

And on this airship, it is the elixir of Glimmer that is transported.

"Lord Meredith, this matter has nothing to do with you." Mel was tough.

"But your men don't seem to have found any clues to the attacker, and I have a living trophy here." Ryan shrugged slightly, motioning for Caterina to press the captive forward.

When it comes to killing, Caterina is very professional. Correspondingly, any attempt to commit suicide by his captive was futile.

Not to mention, this strong green mohican in hippie attire doesn't look like a hard bone at all.

Mel's eyes were fixed on the strong man, her brow furrowed, knowing full well that the other party would not give it to her easily, but this was the only living mouth among the attackers, and it was the key to understanding the situation.

There has been more than one similar incident this year, but fortunately, the airships that were attacked were loaded with contraband, and the forces of all parties deliberately did not want to put things on the bright side, which maintained the peace of Leather City as before.

Her expression changed a few times, and the center of her mind turned rapidly, and finally she had to grit her teeth and say, "What do you want?" ”

"The shimmering potion that's left inside this ship."

Ryan saw Mel's expression suddenly become serious, as if inadvertently adding:

"Piltover's code is people-oriented, and even if you get this contraband, the end result is that it will be destroyed. Councillor Myrdalda, I don't think you would mind trading them for friendship from Noxus. ”

Hearing this Noxian threat, Mel's expression was complicated, as if he remembered his mother, who had a strong personality, and Noxians were really the same.

She was unwilling and wanted to argue with reason:

"Shimmer side effects are very strong, and Noxus shouldn't need such inferior means."

"Of course, the empire agrees that this potion cannot directly equip the army, but that doesn't mean that Shimmer doesn't have research value, and I personally have some interest in this." Ryan doesn't hide it either.

He didn't mind if the other party knew his purpose, he wasn't alone, and he had the whole of Noxus behind him. It's just Piltover, and there is no need to go around the bend.

"I don't think Councillor Myrdarda will refuse such an exchange." Ryan seemed to lose patience and began to rub the ring on his right hand.

Seeing the deep blue glow of the ring in Ryan's hand, Mel was forced to make a choice, no matter how unwilling he was. She sighed helplessly:

"I agree to your request."

Ryan, who received a satisfactory answer, put down his right hand and showed a friendly smile:

"Thank you to Councillor Myrdarda for being willing to accommodate my little request, which made me feel the warmth with which Piltover welcomed me!"

Receiving a glance signal, Caterina kicked the bound captive and kicked it at a female sheriff who had just arrived.

When Ryan and the others were about to leave, the female sheriff couldn't bear to look at the strong man who was kicked and fractured, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Why do you have such a heavy hand, he has already been arrested by you."

Hearing her words, Ryan's face remained unchanged, but Caterina looked at her incredulously, and then at Mel on the side. The look in his eyes seemed to ask why there were harmless sheep in the ranks of the Leather City sheriffs.

"Miss Gilamann, I don't think you should be here." Mel said coldly.

"Councillor, there's something going on at the airport, and I feel like I'm needed here." The sheriff was stubborn, "Hey, you haven't understood me yet. ”

"Councillor Myrdalda, it's good to be born in Piltover, she is a good match for your kindness, and I look forward to our next cooperation."

Ryan commented nonchalantly, ignoring anything else, and calmly turned to leave.

Piltover has the station of Noxus, where he has lived in recent days. The shimmering potions he needed, he believed Mel would deliver them.

The female sheriff wanted to ask something, but Mel frowned and pulled her back, and warned:

"Caitlin Gilamann! Do your part, and don't bring disaster to the Gilamane family. ”

After saying this, he asked the middle-aged sheriff who was guarding next to him to lead Ryan and the others towards the Noxus Embassy, while she was personally responsible for handling the rest of the trouble.

Originally, these things would have been left to the sheriff, but Caitlin's appearance forced her to stay here to prevent accidents.

Caitlin knows justice better than she does, but justice can't deal with Noxus.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Caitlin found her again.

"Are we really going to give them contraband? Councillor, you're violating Piltover's rules. ”

"Rules? Noxus won't tell you the rules here! Mel stared coldly at Caitlin with the word 'justice' on her face, "And Miss Gillamann, watch your words. Don't say it's you, not even your parliamentarian mother wouldn't talk like that in front of me. ”

With that, she turned around and twisted towards the airship.

No one understands the power of Noxus better than she does, and Piltover must have the power to defend his rules.

Maybe...

She looked at another airship with a portrait of a young man painted on its hull and a hammer logo carved into its edge.

Mel's eyes deepened, and she knew in her heart that she should talk to him. Only he is the future of the city.

After staying at the Noxus Embassy, in less than an hour, a wooden barrel filled with purple liquid was sent into Ryan's new room, along with an invitation.

"The invitation to the Midalda family's banquet is actually represented by the Myrdarda family in Noxus, and that Miss Mel is really interesting." Caterina casually placed the invitation on the stone table in the room, with a hint of disdain in her expression.

The ring on Ryan's right hand shimmered, his palm spread out, and a cloud of purple liquid suspended above his palm, and mysterious runes flashed in it:

"Nothing surprising, do you really think she can become a councillor on her own? With the exception of Heimerdinger, the founder of the city, there has never been an example in the history of Piltover who became a councillor on his own merits. ”

"Just a surprise, Father... Du Quecao often told me that she had been banished by Madame Midalda to Piltover because of her innocence and kindness, the daughter of the most failed general in Noxus. Caterina was half-leaning against the wall, her expression mocking.

In a sense, she's no different from Mel now. It's just that her father was even more ruthless, and directly gave himself to the Excellency in front of him.

But she does not reject this feeling, the weak deserve to be enslaved. Ryan is a model of climbing to a high position by relying on his personal strength. Compared to her father, this kind of person is more worthy of her loyalty.

"Your father and Madame Midarda are not at odds with each other, and what he says must be listened to selectively. Mel was not banished, but was in charge of all her family's resources in Piltover. Her family's army has been able to overwhelm your father over the years precisely because of the large amount of money she has drawn from Piltover. ”

Ryan manipulated the runes to parse the glimmer, and narrated in a flat tone.

He wasn't too familiar with either side, but he had seen both. Compared to Mel's mother's thick and thin wrists, Du Kekao, the madman who only knew about war, was much worse.

However, he had heard from his old boss that Katarina's mother was very unusual, and it was difficult to say who was stronger on both sides.

"I don't need to know this, do I want to prepare the banquet for you in the afternoon?"

Caterina is unfazed by these family histories and cares more about what Ryan needs her to do.

She has a clear position for herself, the sharpest blade in the hands of a strong man, and this is exactly the belief that Du Kecao has always instilled in her.

"We'll go together in the afternoon."

Ryan nodded slightly, and continued to manipulate the rune in his hand with all his strength.

As Caterina bent over to leave, he seemed to remember something again, and added:

"Find someone from Picheng to dress you up, and you will attend the banquet as my female companion."

Caterina paused as she walked to the door, her expression a little speechless.

Ryan, who knew what she was thinking, didn't even look back, and still said calmly:

"This is a compulsory course for you to transform, and I don't need weapons around me that can only fight and kill."

"Do as you will!"

The resistance in Caterina's expression vanished, and she bowed respectfully and closed the door for Ryan.
