Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 37

"You wait for me outside first, I'll talk to Ms. Grayson about something." Marcus nodded noncommittally, and asked Catherine to stay outside the ward.

"Yes!"

Catherine touched her heels, and then left the ward without a word.

Grayson didn't stop watching this scene, but had a weird smile on his face: "You use the eldest lady of Gilaman's family like this, are you afraid that her member's mother will trouble you?"

Marcus pulled the chair and sat down, took out the prepared materials from his pocket and spread them out one by one, and said, "Isn't it better to trouble me? It saves a bigger trouble."

"Oh?" Grayson raised his eyebrows: "Looking at you, do you have a problem with Catherine?"

"Opinion?"

Marcus shook his head: "Not really, it's just a spoiled young lady who went to the Law Enforcement Bureau to experience life, and maybe she will go back in a few days, so I just messed around."

"Hahaha, then you are wrong, Marcus." After hearing Marcus's complaint, Grayson laughed a few times and said, "Catherine is definitely not the kind of person who is hot for 3 minutes, since she chose to be a law enforcement officer. The officer will definitely go down this road.”

"Well, whatever." Marcus frowned, not wanting to continue the topic, and put all the materials he brought in front of Grayson, "Ma'am, these documents need your signature."

"these are……"

Grayson picked up the top one and looked at it, his eyes became more and more surprised, "Did you catch those children back?"

"Yes, one is not bad, all of them are here." Marcos pointed to the remaining few documents: "I have already sent them to Stillwater Prison, as long as the parliament judges them, the bombing case will be perfectly solved .”

"..." Grayson looked at the information with a complicated expression on his face: "What happened to Van der? Why did you bring back a few children instead of Van der? What happened after I fell into a coma? Tell me carefully."

"Actually, it's nothing. It was one of Silko's gangsters who attacked us at that time..." Marcos concealed some necessary points, and gave Grayson a rough description of the subsequent development.

After hearing this, Grayson pondered for a while: "So what you mean is that you originally followed Silko and wanted to take the opportunity to catch Vander back, but you met those four children on the way, and then used their strength to rescue Vander come out.

However, in order to let these children go first, Fandel took the initiative to stay behind, and it is currently unknown whether he is alive or dead.

In order to close the case, you came forward to arrest the four children? "

"The general situation is indeed like this." Marcus thought for a while, and added: "I am planning to go to that factory this afternoon to look around, and maybe I can find something more important."

"You mean something that turns people into monsters?" Grayson instantly understood what Marcus meant, and decisively denied his idea: "No! It's too dangerous, and you will die if they catch you! Hill Coe is not a conservative like Vander, he is very hostile to Piltover, and he will never be lenient."

"If you want political achievements, you have to take the chestnut out of the fire!" Marcos said: "I sent someone to investigate that Sirko. He was one of the masterminds of the bridge riot six years ago, and was later isolated by the conservatives headed by Vander. This high-profile appearance shows that he must have some ulterior secrets, which may threaten the safety of Shangcheng."

"You mean..." Grayson's expression changed.

"That's right." Marcos nodded: "Last night his target was obviously Van der, and only by getting rid of him can Silko have a chance to encroach on the dark alley, and then hold all the rights in Bottom City in his hands.

As for him asking his subordinates to attack you, I guess he wants to use this to stir up the confrontation between the upper and lower cities, trying to reproduce the riot six years ago!

And it's also good for him to take over Black Lane, because he has a secret weapon against Uptown. "

"No, even if Van der is eliminated by him, Hei Lane will not accept him so easily." Grayson thought for a while and said, "Benso will prevent this from happening."

"Benso died and was torn into pieces by Silko's men. It would be difficult to put him together and leave a whole body."

Marcus' reminder made Grayson fall into silence, and he sighed after a long while, sighing endlessly: "I didn't expect that it was only one night, and these two old things are... Sigh! What about Sevica? In the dark alley, apart from Van der Besides Bensuo, she has the most influence and should be able to restrain those people."

"Her?" Marcos couldn't help showing contemptuous eyes when he mentioned this person: "She has rebelled. The reason why Silko knew that Van der was in the grocery store was because she informed him."

Invisibly, Marcos completely removed his role in it.

In this way, even if Shirko reveals that he was bought by him and betrayed the internal information of the Law Enforcement Bureau in the future, he can shirk it.

Compared with a gang leader in the bottom city, the congressmen are definitely more willing to believe in themselves, who are also from the upper city.

"Even she betrayed..." Grayson didn't know what to think, and sighed: "We are all old, and things are different. I think Selka was one of the most protective people in the whole black alley. I didn't expect Now even she betrayed Vander."

"It's not that you are getting old." Marcus corrected, "It's just that the times have changed."

……

"Piltover, the city of progress on the continent of Valoran, new things are born every day in this city, and Hextech is one of them."

Heimerdinger sat on a high stool, facing Jess and Victor, only in this way could his height be barely equal to them: "Boys, have you figured out what aspects your invention will be used for? "

"Transportation!" Jess's face was exhausted, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. The advent of Hex Technology can be regarded as the fulfillment of his biggest dream in this life. In the future, he only needs to develop more vehicles based on this foundation. Derivative functions, just use new inventions to benefit the public.

"Transportation?" Heimerdinger was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong: "Boys, I have to remind you that our Picheng is the city with the most developed shipping in the entire Runeterra, and [-]% of the world's cargo transportation requires Only through the gate of the sun can it be shipped to various places.

Now you say that the new invention will be used for transportation? "

"Yes, Piltover is indeed the most developed shipping port in Runeterra, but professor..." Victor said weakly, leaning on a crutch, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to the goods transported by sea after landing? If some ore Or non-perishable goods are fine, but what if you are transporting fine wine, fruit, food and the like?
Ionia is rich in all kinds of delicious fruits, but when you arrive at Piltover, you can only taste jams with a lot of white sugar. Even most people in the upper city don’t know what the original taste of the fruits on the land of Ionia is. .

Now, Hex Technology can change all that! "

"As long as the Hexgates we designed are built in important cities in the hinterland of the mainland, according to the experiment last night, we can transport goods to various places on Runeterra in just an instant!"

"And this will change the transportation pattern of the whole world!"

Jess and Victor looked at each other with confidence: "Piltover will become a real delivery hub!"
