Jace stood on the podium with a green and shy face:

"Well, I know that many of you will be surprised to see that I am here tonight. To be honest, I'm just like you. ”

In the front row of the podium, Ryan, who was dressed in the traditional red aristocratic attire of Noxus, leaned back in his chair and whispered to Caterina next to him:

"Piltover's rising star, Jess Tallis. He is known as a promoter of Piltover and human civilization. ”

Jace stood on the podium, his eyes focused on his mother in the first row below, and narrated:

"I come from an ordinary family, and my family's factory is to make hammers. The floor tiles under your feet may have been hammered out with my hammer. No one ever had any hope for me in my life. ”

Caterina listened to Jace's speech with disapproval in her eyes: "The flaw is too big, even if he can change the world, it is the future." I'm confident I can finish him in 10 seconds. ”

Ryan said dumbly: "Don't always measure a person's achievements by force, we Noxus are not only martial artists." Whether it is politics, scientific research, strategy or business, there is a skill that can be respected by us. ”

"But I don't see his extraordinary, more like a politician who commends merits, and has the same virtue as the nobles of the Immortal Fortress."

Listening to Jace's rhetoric about the changes Hextech had made, Caterina had a look of disgust on her face. She hates formalism, soldiers fight on the battlefield, and scientists should study in the laboratory, this is her personal opinion.

Ryan looked at the high-spirited Jace above, his tone uncertain and hesitant:

From the tone and the wording, it was clear that he should have rarely experienced such an occasion. But he's trying to fit in and having fun. I haven't seen what he looked like when he was studying, but judging from his performance today, he has an innate talent for speech and is well suited to be a leader. ”

At this point, Jace happens to be at the climax. His right index finger was pointed at the wooden podium, making a dull sound, stirring up the fiery emotions aroused by him.

With solemnity on his face:

"It is precisely because of the changes brought about by Hextech that today's moment is particularly extraordinary!"

Jace pointed out the window to the towering tower, glowing with the blue glow of Hex:

"A few years ago, Hexfly brought the world together and made Piltover prosperous beyond anyone could have imagined."

His arms were outstretched, and the crowd in the audience cheered passionately, as if celebrating Piltover's evolution.

On the contrary, it was Ryan and the others, who seemed out of place in such a scene.

"False prosperity." Caterina looked dismissive.

"Wouldn't it be nice to immerse them in it? Noxus is not involved in their operations, but the benefits are far more than Pittsburgh, which has to be said to be ironic. Ryan smiled.

Needless to say, the more Piltover earns, the more he finances Noxus. Of course, these nobles will not earn less, and Mrs. Piltworth's life can change a little, almost win-win.

The only group that is not good is the people who live in the lower city. The gap between the rich and the poor and Shangcheng has further widened, and it is nominally considered to be a city family, but if it really wants to divide resources, it is immediately not a group.

Ryan looked backstage and could vaguely see the figure on crutches.

The cooperation of Victor, the Zaun and Mrs. Piltover, the development of Piltover, and what did Zaun get?

The corners of Ryan's mouth rose slightly, as if he was expecting something.

Jace's speech continued, and after the small climax just now, there was an important part of this year's technology showcase:

"The exploration continues, and this year we've got something new for you, and this time..."

At this point, everyone noticed that there was a palpable hesitation on Jace's face.

"The most important link, he actually went wrong, what is he hesitating about?" Caterina raised an eyebrow.

"Remember the conversation Victor had with us at the banquet?" Ryan didn't show the slightest hint of surprise.

"Victor... At the time, he said Heimerdinger denied their invention. Caterina suddenly, her enlightened eyes looked towards a seat in the first row.

A short, yellow-haired man sits in a chair. He was Heimerdinger, the founder of Pitt City. But his mood was obviously not good at all at the moment, and he stared at Jace with a gloomy face.

Caterina withdrew her gaze, and her face was amused:

"Is the old and the new colliding... Sir, how do you think Jace would choose? ”

Ryan tapped his knuckles against the back of his chair and said succinctly, "From what he said, it has been proven that he is nothing more than that." Choosing means losing, and the topic of win-win is made into a choice by him. ”

"Maybe the scientist didn't realize the seriousness of the problem because he thought about the danger of invention or not." Caterina scoffed.

She noticed that while Jace hesitated, all of the Piltover councillors didn't look good.

Jace struggled for a long time, then took a deep breath and solemnly promised:

"The new technology will be shared with you as soon as possible... Wait for the technology to mature. ”

Feeling the disappointment of the people below, he hurriedly added:

"In my vision with my partner Victor, once this technology is completed, everyone will be freed from hard labor, whether it is the children of the high families or the laborers living in the Undercity."

At this moment, he hadn't noticed that Victor, who had been waiting to pull the curtain backstage to show off the new technology, had not a loss on his face at the moment, but a relief to let go.

Mel below, with a gloomy face, stood up and took the lead in leaving the venue with the butler.

At the same time, Jace still recited the promise of the future:

"We vow to keep seeking and live up to our reputation as a progressive city."

"Our future is bright!"

With Jace's sonorous words, a grand fireworks exploded in mid-air, and through the transparent glass, you could feel the beauty of the sky filled with colorful ceremonial flowers.

Spectators watched the fireworks and were soaking up the beauty of the fireworks and the promise Jace had made.

Most people believed that Jace would lead Piltover to greater prosperity.

Caterina retracted her gaze and said regretfully:

"He chose to compromise, and sooner or later he would hurt himself and Piltover because of his foresight."

"For him, it's the best ending." Ryan shook his head and said his opinion: "It followed Heimerdinger's opinion, but also left everyone to look forward to." And as long as she makes it clear to Mel, she can also save her friendship. ”

He didn't know what Mel and Jace had talked about privately before, but judging from Mel's angry departure, it was supposed to demonstrate the new Hextech tonight, but Jace chose to give up.

However, Ryan knows in his heart that Mel is a smart person, and as long as Jace is still valuable, she will take the initiative to repair the relationship.

In comparison, the talent and value of another person are not bad, and they are more worthy of his expectations.

Ryan glanced meaningfully backstage in the lecture hall, got up and left the venue with Katarina.

Plans can't keep up with the changes, and it may not be long before the Noxus embassy welcomes its first guest.
