Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 179

Fortunately, the sea voyage was only a little over a day, and Thalia vomited weakly from behind, and fell into a coma.

Craig helped clean up the dirt and stayed by her side, pouring her some fresh water down from time to time.

Until the ship docked, Talia showed no sign of waking up, so Marcus had no choice but to let Craig carry her on his back, and go to the infirmary first, so that Talia could take care of her body.

"Sheriff Marcus."

After seeing off Craig and Vi, a call came from behind.

Marcus turned around, and it was a middle-aged woman with a slightly mean appearance: "Is Senator Gilaman waiting for me here?"

Councilor Gilaman folded his hands up and down in front of his body, and gracefully turned sideways: "If you don't mind, can we chat?"

Behind her was an ordinary carriage, indicating that Councilor Gilamann did not want to expose his connection with the smuggling port to the public.

Even several other MPs may have known about this in private.

"Of course." Marcus straightened his clothes, walked over, and held Councilor Gilamann's left arm in a gentlemanly manner, first sent her to the carriage, and then followed him.

"Go back to Piltover." Councilor Gilaman opened the small window on one side of the carriage and gave the order to the driver.

The carriage started slowly and drove out of the port smoothly.

"The senator is waiting for me at the port. There must be something very important to talk to me about?" Marcos habitually crossed his right leg on his left, shaking it comfortably.

This is a habit he developed during live broadcasts before, and he hasn't been able to correct it for five years after time travel.

"There are two main things."

Councilor Gilaman said: "The first thing is, I already know the actions of Hoskar and the others. Unfortunately, I can't help you. You have to find a way to get through the difficulties yourself."

"I don't need to worry about this matter, I can solve it myself." Marcus's eyes sank slightly. Councilor Gilamann is a master who puts his interests first. No matter how it changes, no one can take away that part of the income from her, so when she knew that Marcos was being targeted, she chose to play it safe.

Not only that, considering the possibility of Hoskar and others succeeding, she is already considering transferring Catherine away from Marcos again.

"It's best if you can solve it." Gilaman continued: "The second thing is, I want to transfer Catherine back to the patrol department to work on the Avenue of Stars."

"The patrol team on Xingchen Avenue are all veterans of the law enforcement bureau. It is indeed the safest choice for Catherine to transfer there, but there are almost no promotion channels. If she doesn't go to other departments in the future, she will be a patrol officer for the rest of her life. Has the councilor considered it?" Kes seemed to have expected that Gilamann would bring up this matter, and there was no surprise on his face.

"Of course I have considered it." Councilor Gilamann said with an unnatural expression, and then there was no further text.

Marcus observed his words and smiled strangely: "Could it be that the congressman wants me to transfer Catherine back to the Law Enforcement Bureau's rights center and continue to be the deputy sheriff after I solve the trouble?"

Councilor Gilaman frowned and didn't speak, but her expression betrayed her thoughts.

Seeing that he had guessed right, Marcus shook his head helplessly: "Ms. Gilaman, you can't want to be involved in all kinds of good things, and at the same time, you don't want to take any risks!
How can there be any reason to walk away when encountering difficulties, and come forward when you see benefits?

Have you forgotten what happened when Jace developed hextech? "

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Councilor Gilaman's behavior has gone too far.

It directly broke through Marcos' bottom line.

It's fine if you don't help, Marcos doesn't care about Catherine's face.

Now that he still wants to continue to take advantage of himself after the fact, that would be too bullying.

If it was the time when Marcus first met five years ago, Councilor Gilaman would probably not have done this. At that time, Marcus brought the snacks sent by Camille to the market, and almost all the senior officials in Piltover thought that he was just like Ferros. The eldest lady of the family has an affair, so she dare not offend him.

But five years later, Marcos and Camille made no progress at all. Instead, as Camille grew up and became more mature, he deliberately kept a certain distance from Marcos, and never sent any snacks.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that they had thought too much at the beginning, and there was no such relationship between Camille and Marcus.

They belatedly thought, how could the dignified eldest daughter of the Philos family fall in love with a small law enforcement officer?
And this law enforcement officer doesn't even have an aristocratic background behind him!
The door is wrong, the door is wrong!

Don't say that Marcos doesn't have the support of the Philos family behind him. Councilor Gilaman knows that Hoskar and the others have actually recruited Stevan, the young master of the Philos family, to join him. This means that Marcus wants to solve the trouble, and Ferros The family basically does not contribute a little bit.

Isolated and helpless, Councilor Gilaman was very pessimistic about Marcos' prospects. After many days of careful consideration, he made the current decision to distance himself from Marcos so as not to be implicated himself.

"Do you know why among the seven congressmen, your industry is the worst?" Marcus said with a bit of sarcasm, "It's because you, congressman, have no sense of adventure! If it weren't for the fact that you are Catherine's mother, you used to sponsor For the sake of Jace's research for many years, when the Hexfly Gate was built five years ago, where would it be your turn to be a shareholder?"

Councilor Gilamanen was scolded by Marcus, his face was livid, his eyes were fixed on Marcos, and he almost spit out anger to burn Marcos to death.

After becoming a member of parliament, no one has ever dared to speak to her in such an attitude, even if it is a few other members of parliament, they have to be courteous when they see her.

Marcus looked out of the window, the carriage was still driving on the small road outside Picheng, and there was no sign of people. If Councilor Gilamann drove him out of the carriage in a fit of anger, he would be finished.

All the supplies left in the desert were taken back by Clegg and the others. Marcus didn't want to be thrown here, so he wisely kept his mouth shut before Councilor Gilamann broke out.

The atmosphere in the carriage gradually became awkward and subtle.

Senator Gilaman looked at Marcus like an angry lioness.

Marcos was wary of the other party driving him out of the car, but when he touched the glove hanging around his waist, he regained some confidence.

The big deal... just treat it as survival in the wild!

The action of touching the gloves caught the attention of Councilor Gilaman, and she realized that there was such a pair of things beside Marcus, which looked very cumbersome.

After pondering for a while and calming down her emotions, she asked in a deep voice, "What is this?"

"The tools recently developed by HexTech for the miners in Bottom City are all used by people with mud legs, and the councilors probably won't be interested." Marcus didn't tell the truth, because the Atlas glove project, He didn't want MP Gilaman involved.

He was disappointed with this kind of partner.

Even if there is Catherine's face, it's not a big deal.
