Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 137 You Can't Hold It

Jagu Midarda.

Before this name was put on Marcus, perhaps most players who love this game have never heard of it.

But everyone who knows the background of the game, even a player who has a rough understanding of the history of Piltover, will have some impression of this name more or less.

Before the broadcast of "Battle of Two Cities", Marcos had been obsessed with the website "League of Legends Universe" for a while and read most of its content.

Among them, he noticed that there was a shrewd old man named "Jagu Midarda" among the councilors of Piltover.

When "The Battle of Two Cities" started broadcasting, Marcos clicked on the first episode, confidently thinking that "Jiagu" must be in it.

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

There is no "Jia Gu" in "Twin Cities"!
However, another person caught his attention.

That is - Mel Midarda.

Yes, this character who has played a lot of roles in Shuangcheng has the same surname as that Jia Gu!
Marcos has made many speculations about this, and there is definitely an inextricable relationship between the two.

Later, after many investigations and a series of comparisons, he finally came to a conclusion.

Jagu and Mel should be grandparents!

As for the senator status that both of them have, is it possible that Mel is only temporarily replacing Jagu as one of Piltover's councilors?
From the perspective of interests, it is obviously impossible for a family to have two candidates for parliamentarians.

What's more, this family came from outside Piltover.

But if it's from a perspective other than interests... that's not necessarily the case.

As a prominent family in an empire full of aggression, the Myrdal family obviously held a lot of real power in the Noxus Empire, of which 'military power' was an essential part.

And well-armed, powerful!
With such an army in hand, it is not impossible for Jagu to grab a second seat from the Piltover Council.

After all...the butcher's knife and the iron hoof are not far away, and no one wants these two things to appear by their side—especially the other members of parliament who have a good life and haven't enjoyed enough.

"The size of your fist is always the most powerful trump card in a negotiation." Mel let out a sigh of relief, telling how his grandfather used his family power to intimidate the other six congressmen including Heimerdinger. Incentives, and how to negotiate, and finally won the second member of parliament.

"I'm curious about this, because my grandfather promised that he would not come back to interfere with any decision-making of the Piltover Council, nor would he appear in front of people until the number of Piltover Council members other than him reached an even number. "

Mel was puzzled: "Grandfather has left Piltover for more than ten years, and even most people in Piltover think that grandfather has resigned as a member of the council. How do you know that he exists and still remains a member of the council?" Identity?"

Unless Marcos planted spies in the Myrdalda family, and they had to be the ones who had access to the core secrets of the family, it was possible to obtain such reliable information.

But...is it possible?

Just because he is the sheriff of the Picheng Law Enforcement Bureau, and he has just become a sheriff, is he capable of arranging people to break into the Midarda family?

Or, had Ryan Fellowes told him?

A second guess arose in Mel's mind, and it only made sense in this way.

"This is a secret, Ms. Mel." Marcus is not in the habit of answering others' questions, not to mention that the means by which he learned the information was shady, so he simply carried the mystery to the end: "It's as if I never asked you , why don’t you stay in Noxus and compete with your brother for the succession of the Myrdalda family, but go to the city of progress thousands of miles away to be a so-called member of parliament.”

Speaking of this, Marcos showed a shallow smile with deep meaning: "What is the difference between this and being exiled by the family?"

A sentence that seemed to be said inadvertently set off monstrous waves in Mel's heart, and she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. She almost blurted out and asked Marcos again how he knew all this.

Because she is indeed an abandoned child exiled by the Midarda family!

And the person who exiled her was her own mother!
To put it bluntly, let her come to Picheng alone for independent trials.

However, secretly, the Myrdalda family not only did not provide her with even a little help, but instead collected a huge amount of wealth from her every year as military expenses to stabilize the Myrdalda family's position in the Noxus army.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Marcus pretended to look at the time, got up and gave the order to evict the guest: "It's getting late, Ms. Mel, I still have time to go home and get a good night's sleep."

It has been 24 hours since he was so busy, and Marcos felt that he was almost sleepy, and he just wanted to go home and fall asleep.

"Sleep?!" Mel was startled: "It's already this time, can you still sleep?"

Now there are four councilors and the heir of the largest family in Piltover are planning Hextech, and they want to seize power from you!
You don't prepare to fight, but you just think about going home and sleeping?
Mel said: "I can't understand it, but I'm shocked!"
"You're right!" Marcus nodded in agreement, actually echoing what Mel said just now.

Just when Mel thought that Marcus had finally regained consciousness and wanted to ask herself if there was anything she could do to help, Marcos couldn't help her with the next sentence.

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten anything since last night. I really can't sleep if I don't fill my stomach." Marcus said seriously, and Mel was completely speechless.

"Okay." Mel got up and walked out the door: "If there is anything useful, please send someone to notify me at any time."

In any case, she is also one of Piltover's councilors. Perhaps the resources she has at hand cannot fight against the combined forces of the four councilors, but it's not a big problem to contain them.

"The biggest thing you can help is to practice raising your hands more when you go home." Marcus sent Mel to the gate of the Law Enforcement Bureau, and watched her get into a carriage with a more elegant decoration style, "Wait The day I went to Parliament to 'take office', at least I had a better hand up."

"..." Mel was silent for two seconds: "Are you serious?"

"Does this sentence sound like a joke?" Marcos put on a serious face: "Of course you are serious. After all, you are so beautiful. Don't ruin your image in my heart because of the bad posture of raising your hands." of beauty."

"You...!" It was the first time for Mel to be teased so frivolously by others, and he immediately became sullen, and knocked on the front window to order the driver: "Drive!"

Watching the carriage disappear from sight before the door could even be closed, Marcus smiled softly: "I'm sorry, Jess, this black-bone chicken is too nutritious, you can't handle it, so let me eat it."

……

Jess, who was busy at the Hex Technology Research Institute, suddenly felt a chill, as if shrouded in some unknown malice, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

……

After sending Mel away, Marcos didn't seem to care about the threat of Hoskar and the others at all. He actually did as he said, called a carriage waiting for guests nearby, and headed towards the direction of the rented house.

At the same time, Fez, who was waiting for Marcus's return downstairs, found another person.

Sevica came out from the shadow of the street, tapped the carriage with her right hand and said to Fez: "The boss asked you to do your own thing first."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

When Marcus returned to the downstairs of the rented house, Fez's carriage had long since disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
