Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter [-]: Indulgence
"Why didn't the ladies run for the council?" Marcus said regretfully: "If you run for the council, you can show your strengths in the council, talk about political topics, and influence the people's livelihood in Piltover isn't it?"

"Marcus, what are you doing here?" The wife of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce saw him, panicked for a moment, then remembered that this was her own shop, and inexplicably gained some confidence: "This shop does not welcome people who eat vegetarian food, please go out! "

"Oh." Marcus raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What am I doing here? The clerk here will tell you."

The clerk next to him trotted to the noble lady and reported in a low voice: "Madam, our shop has been sealed off!"

"What?" The noble lady was taken aback for a moment, and then she became furious: "Marcus, there are many members of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, and the chamber of commerce under your name will be seized if you say so. Do you still care about the council? Hello. Be bold!"

"Member?"

Marcus sneered: "Don't say it's just a member's share, even if this store is opened by a member himself, if it doesn't comply with the law, it will be closed!"

Illegal?

Madam Bauhinia was so angry that her chest was heaving: "All the products in this store have been certified by legal and formal channels, and they were shipped into Picheng through the Hex-Flying Gate. If you say that this store is illegal, please show evidence! If If you can’t get it out, don’t blame me for going to the parliament to sue you for abusing your private rights!”

"Sue me?" Marcus said with a gloomy face, "Madam, did you make a mistake?"

He took a step forward, pointed at the other party, and said aggressively: "It is I who made your life as a chamber of commerce better and better, and I gave you the opportunity to make more money! You gangsters should be grateful to Dade, and you should bow down when you see me Worship, instead of saying behind my back that I am a vegetarian and ignore government affairs!"

He didn't give the other party a chance to refute, and continued: "Who do you think created the current peaceful environment in Piltover? It took me five years to wipe out the gangsters in the bottom city! I was the one who turned away the criminals hiding in the bottom city." Outside! If it wasn’t for my credit, you should be sitting in the law enforcement bureau now and reporting to the law enforcement officers the appearance of the criminal who robbed you of your handbag, instead of standing here and entangled with me!”

Seeing Mrs. Bauhinia's complexion getting more and more ugly, Marcus suddenly withdrew his aura and showed a warm smile: "Do these words, Ma'am, sound familiar? Do you also use this kind of condescension when you talk about the people of the bottom city in private?" Are you talking about your oppression against them? Do you also feel in private that you are giving them the highest honor by squeezing the labor force of the people of Dicheng, because you let them have jobs and support their families, and they should be grateful to you? , instead of thinking about sneaking into Picheng and stealing chickens and dogs?"

"Five years!"

"Madam, do you know how many hostile eyes I've seen in Bottom City over the past five years?"

"Countless!"

"Madam, do you know why those people from the bottom city are hostile to the people of Picheng and call us leather men?"

"Madam must be thinking, it's because the people of the bottom city are greedy and want to get more things they shouldn't have."

"Madam, have you thought of something?"

Marcus looked directly at the noble ladies in front of him, and said word by word: "Dignity is something they are born with, but you greedy nobles sacrifice their dignity and their lives for your own selfishness." trample on the ground!"

"Everyone thinks..."

"Is it reasonable?"

"Just as I took advantage of my position to seal up this shop, do you think it's reasonable?"

After saying this, Marcus didn't bother to look at the reactions of these noble ladies, and turned around and shouted: "Jinx, let's go."

Jinx obediently followed him and walked out of the store. When passing by a few noble ladies, she stuck out her tongue and winked at them and made a face at them, which added a bit of fuel to the unhappy mood of the noble ladies. .

"Marcus!"

Madam Bauhinia hated her madly. She brought a few acquainted noble ladies to the store for consumption, but in the end she was cut off by Marcus, a small police chief of the law enforcement bureau.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she gritted her teeth as she watched Marcos' leaving back: "Just wait for me, I'll go to the council to sue you!"

Several other noble ladies looked at each other, and then echoed: "We will go too!"

On the street, Jinx wobbled for a while holding Marcus' left arm, but still couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked, "Weird, why do you talk so much to those old women?"

If you deliberately find fault, just seal up the shop and leave, there is no need to talk nonsense with them.

Marcus twitched his arm, unable to break free, and said helplessly, "Because I did it on purpose. Do you know what kind of group circulates other people's gossip the fastest?"

"The coachman!" Jinx replied.

"No." Marcus shook his head: "Most of the gossip circulating among the carriage drivers is among the common people, and they generally don't have access to the affairs of the nobles."

"And those ignorant, pedantic, and self-righteous noble ladies have nothing to do on weekdays. What they like to do most is to gather together and talk about the scandals among the nobles."

"This kind of spread is much faster than we imagined, because their minds are smaller than the tip of a needle, and they can't hide things in their hearts. They must tell more people about these things as quickly as possible, and then enjoy others' first time. The stares in amazement at hearing the news."

"Hmm..." Jinx tilted her head and thought for a while: "But does this have anything to do with what you did just now? You want them to spread the word that you are an abuser of power?"

"There are the following purposes." Marcos explained to her: "The first is that I heard them say bad things about you, and I will teach them a lesson for you. The second is that someone wants to kill me, and now the days when they do it are getting closer and closer. As it gets closer, I worry about them changing their minds, so do something to stir them up and make them firm in their resolve."

That kind of person will get revenge, and Marcos presses them every step of the way, just to prompt them to quickly make things big.

Jinx became more and more puzzled: "Someone wants to harm you, but you still indulge them?"

In Dicheng, if you know that someone is going to harm you, you will definitely kill the source before the other party makes a move, and don't give the other party a chance to make a move.

Not only did the weirdo not do this, but he even condoned the other party's attack?

Jinx tilts her head, weird.

She took this matter to heart, and planned to discuss with Wei and the others after returning home to protect Marcos and avoid any unfavorable things happening to him.

Marcos took Jinx to visit several clothing stores in a row. When the shop assistants saw Marcos, their eyes were like chrysanthemums, and they didn't dare to show Jinx a bad attitude at all. They were quite attentive.

After picking out a few clothes for her, Marcos took her back to work.

In the afternoon of that day, the parliament hall was opened, and the seven members of parliament gathered together in a dignified atmosphere.
