Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 163 It's All For You

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still dark.

Someone knocked on the door of Marcos' room. It was the proprietress of the hotel, Mrs. Mary.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I have prepared three sets of clothes suitable for the desert environment."

Marcus got up and opened the door: "Let it go."

"Hey." Madam Mary entered the room with three sets of half-new dark-colored clothes and put them on the table.

"Sir, our departure time is half an hour later, do you need to prepare some breakfast for you?" Madam Mary asked before leaving.

"can."

Marcus came out after washing up, and Mrs. Mary had already left.

Putting on a suit of clothes that didn't fit well, he went out and called Craig and Wei out, and asked them to take the clothes back to their room and change them on their own.

Soon, the three people who had changed their appearances each walked out of the guest room with Atlas gloves and came to the front hall.

At this time, although it was not dawn, many hunters had already gotten up to prepare for a new day's work.

The hunters who were chatting lazily saw the three of Marcus coming out, they all shut up and watched them from the corner of their eyes.

The gap between the two is very obvious.

Marcus pretended not to notice, and took the two of them to sit down in front of the bar, waiting for Mrs. Mary to bring three larger breakfasts.

Ten minutes later, Madam Mary took a look at the door, came back and respectfully said to Marcus after breakfast: "Sir, the carriage has arrived."

"Yeah." Marcus got up and left a message to Madam Mary before leaving: "Say hello to the congressman for me."

Mrs. Mary's pupils narrowed sharply, she looked at the carriage going away, and told the waiter who greeted the guests behind her: "Go, send the news to the congressman, and report it truthfully."

……

"Catherine, I think we need to talk." Councilor Gilaman knocked on the door of his daughter's room.

"What are you talking about?" Catherine said sleepily, ignoring her mother.

She didn't like her mother's face of being a philistine as a member of parliament. If she hadn't withdrawn the funds, Jess would not have taken the risk and sneaked into the parliament building.

Fortunately, Jess finally succeeded in proving himself, Hextech is not a young man's fantasy.

"I think your current job is too dangerous. I'm going to talk to Marcus these few days and transfer you to the patrol team on Star Avenue..."

"I do not!"

Before finishing speaking, Catherine resolutely refused: "I am very satisfied with my current job, there is no need to transfer."

Councilor Gilaman's face turned cold, and her sharp-edged face showed that she was a bit bitter and mean. At this moment, her cold face made this unpleasant temperament even more dazzling: "Catherine! The Avenue of Stars is the most important place in Piltover. The busiest street has the largest patrol team in that area, and its members are veterans who have worked in the law enforcement bureau for many years. It is the safest way for you to join them, and your father and I can rest assured..."

"As I said, I'm very satisfied with my current position!" Catherine picked up her deputy sheriff's uniform, and her tone became tough.

"Catherine!" Councilor Gilamann snapped, "When will you learn to understand how your father and I feel? Do you know how worried your father and I are about your safety because you always run to the bottom city?"

"Then when will you really care about what I think?" Catherine roared angrily: "Everything I do since I was a child was arranged by you!"

"You let me learn the piano that I don't like, and let me do this and that. It's hard for me to do something I really like, but it turns out to be your capital to show off to those nobles!"

"My daughter Catherine won the gold medal in the shooting competition." She imitated her mother's tone. "The runner-up was Detective Grayson, who is famous for his marksmanship."

"Are you trying to say that I was able to get the gold medal because of your good education and the result of your supervision?"

"no!"

"I got that gold medal because I really like shooting, not for your vanity!"

"I didn't become a law enforcement officer for a stable and safe job, nor did I want to enter politics and become a bargaining chip in your hands, but I wanted to be one!"

"I want to be a law enforcement officer who can solve crimes!"

"I want to be a law enforcement officer who can catch criminals!"

"Instead of being a patrolling policeman who just knows how to stand on the street every day!"

"Anyway, you don't want to control me this time!"

Catherine's unwilling eyes made Member Gilaman angry: "Your wings are stiff now, right? Starting today, if you don't agree to change departments for a day, you won't be allowed to leave this house!"

"You!" Catherine glared at her mother. She had always been domineering, arrogant, and unreasonable since she was a child.

She had had enough of such a mother.

Sometimes she really wanted to run away from home and never come back.

"Do you think I dare not?"

"You can try, as long as you dare to step out of the house, don't come back in the future!"

"it is good!"

Catherine was so angry that she actually walked out with her uniform.

Now her father was frightened, and hurried up to stop her: "You are not a child anymore, don't always make your mother angry, she is doing it for your own good."

The women in Gilaman's family are strong and the men are weak, and Catherine's father often can only act as a peacemaker, trying his best to reconcile between mother and daughter.

Although Catherine had some opinions on her father, thinking that he was too weak, but compared to her mother, her father cared for her in every possible way, and some things would go her way, so the relationship between father and daughter was closer.

Under her father's persuasion, Catherine reluctantly went back to her room, sulking alone, when he turned her head to persuade her mother and dragged her downstairs.

"Catherine is still a child, why are you competing with her..."

Still a child?
Catherine vaguely heard her father's persuasion to her mother, and felt even more agitated.

Why is he always a child in their eyes?
She will be independent tomorrow.

Downstairs, the butler held a letter and hurried to the stairs to wait.

"Member, your letter."

Councilor Gilamann took it, turning a deaf ear to her husband's persuasion, and opened the letter to check.

After reading it, he closed the letter paper, the councilor's face changed, and he waved to the housekeeper: "Go and take care of the messenger, and ask him to bring me a sentence, just say that I already know, don't meddle in other business."

"Yes."

When the butler went out, he would tell the young man who was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and took out a handful of golden wheels from his pocket and handed it to him.

The young man was the waiter whom Mrs. Mary had sent the message to. After taking the golden wheel, he happily turned and left.

At this time, it was already the morning of the second day after Marcos set off from the hunter gathering place.

Meanwhile, Marcus takes Vi and Craig off the smuggling boat and into a green field.
