Twenty minutes later, Marcos left contentedly, with Jace's promise to protect his family.

Jace, on the other hand, had a solemn complexion, feeling that the burden on his body was heavier.

"Jace." Victor, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "I can help you solve the problem of the still water prison." But would you like to give me a signed book to promote our previous livelihood inventions in the name of the Councillors, except for Hex's new technology? ”

Jace hesitated, if only 30 minutes ago, he might have agreed without hesitation. But the pressure on him now is not small, every step is too big, if this incident happens again, maybe he should really step down.

After thinking about it, he politely refused: "Victor, we are not law enforcement officers, and we don't need to get involved in the affairs of the still water prison. I think we can iterate on our new invention a few more times, and I still have something to find Mel. Rest assured, soon our great inventions will be all over the streets of Piltover. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to be ashamed of his friend, and left with an unsightly face.

"Yes, all the streets of Piltover, Zaun is an abandoned place again." Victor shook his head self-deprecatingly.

In fact, when he brought it up, he already knew the answer. But people always have some illusions.

If you turn people into machines, won't you have so many troubles?

He looked up at the flying door, lost in thought.

Tick!

At this time, a cool drop of water fell on his forehead from the sky, making him slightly stunned.

Immediately afterwards, a small bird made of water took a note in its mouth and threw it in his hand, and itself dissipated into a cloud of water.

Opening the specially made waterproof note, Victor saw the neat text on it:

"I took the liberty of visiting your lab a few days ago, and most of the inventions are good. Today there is a message from the Empire that it is willing to open a large factory dedicated to the mass production of those inventions. If you are willing to accept it, you can choose a benefit distribution scheme.

"First, 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the invention belong to you. Second, 30% of the produced product is supplied to Zuan until the demand for Zuan is saturated, but you only have 10% of the profit. – Ryan Meredith"

"What is this? My partner who invented with me was hesitant and didn't have the confidence to deal with the future. And people who have only seen a few sides are willing to throw an olive branch? Victor muttered to himself, mocking on his face.

He had learned that Ryan's situation in Noxus was not much better than Jace's. Despite his high magical prowess, he was controversial for his defeat at Ionia. The boss who took care of the other party was also recuperating from an injury, and the other party did not have many resources at his disposal.

And in this case, in order to recruit him to deliberately build a large factory, this move made him unusually moved.

He clearly understood that after experiencing what had happened in the past few days, he would not have refused the olive branch of Noxus. He was sure Ryan understood, but he did it anyway.

In comparison, Jace disappointed him.

"Perhaps, it's time to live for yourself, Victor."

He muttered in a low voice, walking slowly but surely towards his lab.

......

The night was gloomy, but the atmosphere inside the Bolshoi Theater was hot.

Mel and Jace chatted in the cubicle, smiling at the councillors in the other cubicles.

Jace's face was tangled at first, then firm. He began to smile like a politician, shook hands with the lawmakers who entered the compartment, and had a good conversation.

On the other hand, Xicheng is not as harmonious as in the Grand Theater.

Jinx sat on a low building with a bored face, muttered a few dissatisfied words, raised the Gatling gun in his hand, and his immature face gradually became crazy.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

"Aha!"

The roof of the machine gun glowed with fire, and with her raucous laughter, bullets rained down in the still water prison not far away.

The guarding magistrate was splattered with blood and fell to the ground.

Sirens were sounded, and sirens blared through the night sky of Piltover.

In the Grand Theater, Jace heard the solemn look behind the alarm bell, looked at Mel, and resolutely walked out with the hammer he had placed in the corner of the cubicle.

Everything for a better tomorrow in Piltover!

Not long after Jinx vented the fire, the sheriff's team had already reacted and fired in her direction, the sound of gunfire mixed with sirens echoing through Piltover.

"Cut, it's boring!"

Jinx muttered, pulled a tin can from his backpack, and threw it hard in the direction of the sheriff.

Bang!

An earth-shattering explosion was accompanied by screams, and the flames symbolizing death engulfed all the officers in its reach.

"Hmph~Hmph~Hmph!"

Humming a little song in his mouth, taking advantage of the commotion, Jinx stood up again with great fanfare, holding a machine gun and strafing.

This time, the effect was obviously very good, at least 5 law enforcement officers were shot, and the rest were even holding their heads and running away, not daring to show their heads.

Airplanes!

Suddenly, there was a burst of breath in Jinx's ears, and she could feel the danger of death looming. Before she had time to think about it, she subconsciously threw herself to the side.

Rumble!!!!

A blue ball of energy smashed into the position where she had just stood, and the ground was directly blasted into a gap, and even the entire building shook a few times.

Faced with this death crisis, Jinx was stunned.

She looked in the direction where the energy ball was flying and saw the tall Jace standing surrounded by sheriffs, holding a sledgehammer in his hand, which was shining blue at the moment, and it was obvious that the second shot was ready to be fired.

Jinx's face sank, and without hesitation, he pulled out the explosive iron can from his backpack and threw it at Jace.

And she herself retreated backwards without hesitation.

Rumble!!!

The blue energy ball slammed into the exploding can, exploding like fireworks in mid-air, and the shockwave swept over the building where Jinx had been staying, and the walls of the entire building cracked like a spider's web, crumbling.

When the magistrates saw this, they couldn't help but cheer with joy, and gathered around Jace, embracing him as a hero.

In the laboratory, Victor listened to the sirens and gunshots in the distance, unhurriedly put on his hood, and loaded the mechanical arm on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Lord Meredith, Miss Caterina."

"When today's matter is over, you can say it yourself, he is very optimistic about you, I want to see it." Caterina leaned against the wall and said coldly.

"As you wish!"

Victor put on his monocle, opened the door, and strode towards the Gillamane manor.

Caterina behind her disappeared into the shadows, and the lights in the laboratory went dark and there was no more sound.
