Chapter 12: Departure from Zuan
When Victor was led by the soldiers to change his clothes, Katerina couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know who you're going to see in Zu'an in the afternoon."
"Not before, but now there is. Zaun's biggest mob boss right now is Hilco? Ryan asked disapprehantly.
"It's that guy. The Empire had recently gathered information on him, and they all agreed that Hilko was behind what was going on. Caterina said.
"Oh? I've also read his intelligence, but why would the Imperial Intelligence Department give such an assessment? Ryan seemed a little surprised.
Caterina spread her hands and said indifferently: "In their eyes, Hilko was originally a dangerous person who planned and then moved, which was the biggest reason why he replaced the previous Zuan boss Fandel. But he has been too peaceful in recent years. ”
"Is there something wrong with Anfen?"
"I agree with the analysis of the Imperial Intelligence Department, they think that people like Hilko must be planning some conspiracy behind it, and the airport and yesterday's bombing of the building may be one of them." Caterina had a point.
Ryan smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "I have a different opinion, and those people in the empire don't understand what it's like to have a heart. ”
"Hilco, the kind of person who killed all his former brothers, seems to have a heart?" Caterina questioned.
"It is precisely because he and Fandel are a confused account that he has a regret. And now, that area of his heart has been completed. ”
"Does he have someone he likes?" Caterina looked surprised.
She didn't think Ryan was wrong, and it was because she believed Ryan's analysis that she couldn't understand Hilco.
Emotions only affect the speed at which the knife is drawn, why don't such people understand this truth?
"Remember that blue-haired girl last night?" Ryan reminded him.
"The blue-haired girl... The one who blew up the building yesterday, I looked back at the information last night, and she seems to be called Jinx, and she is Hilco's most conniving subordinate. ”
Caterina seemed to think of something, with a certain strangeness and disgust on her face.
Ryan gave him a funny look, and didn't want to correct it, just smiled and shook his head.
After seeing the attendant in the distance make a gesture towards him, he commanded:
"I've decided to meet him today, you can help me choose a place overlooking the whole of Zu'an, and send him an invitation."
"Follow your will, Your Excellency."
Caterina nodded obediently, glanced at Victor who was being helped by her from a distance, and disappeared into the dining room in a flash.
Ryan got up and walked towards Victor:
"Victor, you're a good fit for this."
This time, Victor changed into a set of red and black butler services, his fluffy hair was combed, and his expressionless face was perfectly matched with the image of a Noxian nobleman's butler.
"There's a gift for you, a greeting from a friend in Noxus."
Ryan refused to allow Victor to refuse, and motioned to the attendant waiting next to him, allowing him to bring up the tray in his hand.
Victor subconsciously looked at it, and there was a delicate monocle lying quietly in the tray, and there was some kind of rune engraved on it, a rune that he had never seen before, which fascinated him a little.
Seeing his obsessed appearance, Ryan smiled and stepped forward and patted Victor's shoulder: "Okay, this thing is already yours, you can study it as much as you want in the future." ”
"I'm sorry, but it's a gift... Too precious and special. Victor scratched his head in embarrassment with an apologetic look on his face.
He no longer hesitated, and put the monocle on his face, and it seemed that a wonderful light swept across his cheeks, causing his face to change slightly:
"I feel... It's weird. ”
"The disfiguring monocle, the gadget I worked out, can fine-tune the face, and it is difficult to recognize you except for people who are very familiar with each other. Of course, you can understand moving closer to the aesthetic that conforms to Noxus. Ryan explained.
"The Noxus aesthetic? It feels a lot better than Piltover. ”
Victor looked at the mirror in the hand of the attendant in a daze, and in the mirror was a cold man wearing a monocle, with a slender figure that looked like a handsome nobleman.
Even if he didn't care about his appearance, he was amazed by himself.
"Let's go, let's talk as we go. Maybe I need you as a guide. Ryan laughed.
Victor came back to his senses and bowed his head slightly in thanks: "My honor, Your Excellency. ”
Accompanied Ryan out of the door, and after getting into the mechanical car, Victor said a little strangely:
"Isn't that young lady going today?"
As he spoke, he seemed to understand something, and laughed at himself:
"Also, the kind of place in Zu'an that is filled with industrial exhaust fumes is not suitable for a noble lady to go to at all."
The robot car was activated, and the faithful Noxian soldiers skillfully steered it towards the bridge between Phi and Zaun.
Ryan listened to Victor's words and looked weird: "Do you think Caterina is a pure aristocratic lady?" ”
Victor nodded slightly: "Although her outfit today is in line with Zu An's clothing style, she can be your female companion last night, and she is not bad." ”
"He's from the Quekao family." Ryan nodded with a smile.
"Kekao... A very familiar noun that seems to have quite a place in Noxus. Victor scratched his head in annoyance.
He made up for Noxus before he came, but focused more on Ryan's message. He doesn't have a deep memory of the rest of the forces, but he also has a certain impression of the Quekao family.
At the very least, this family should not be weaker than the Myrdalda.
"The Quekao family is a family of assassins, each head of the family is the best assassin in Noxus, and Caterina is the eldest daughter." Ryan Road.
"Assassin...?"
Victor had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect the seemingly cold girl to be so extraordinary.
He didn't think that the strongest assassin in Noxus had no gold content, and the Noxian soldiers who had just received him could at least beat 3 or 5 Picheng magistrates under the same circumstances.
"She'll be waiting for us at the Dividing Bridge, and you can guess who we're going to see today."
"It should be the current leader of Zu'an, I don't know who it is." Victor shook his head and sighed, "Since Fandel's death, Zaun has become different from before, becoming... Well, more radical. Many people I know have died for various reasons, and the rest have also drunk a potion called 'Shimmer', and their bodies have been distorted. If you really want to say it, there aren't many people I know in Zaun anymore. ”
"Then have you heard rumors of the rulers of Zuan?" Ryan asked with a smile on his face.
"Seems like a careerist with great strength? I've always been obsessed with the research of Hextech, and I haven't cared about these things for a long time. Victor was uncertain.
"Other people dream of changing their hometown, and they want to pay more attention to it every day, but you are completely different from them."
Ryan never thought there was anything wrong with Victor doing this, and in his eyes, Victor should spend more time on new technology research than a politician and manager.
Moreover, there is no shortage of managers and reformers in Noxus, but there is a great need for some top scientists, whether they are studying magic or science.
According to the message from his old boss, it seems that time is running out for Noxus...
