Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 52 Surprise
"Mr. Marcus said just now that the Ferros family can continue to maintain its current status?" Camille walked to the blue and white leather sofa and sat down gracefully.

The color preference of the Philos family has always been blue and white, and even the flower beds in the courtyard are mostly blue and white.

This is the style handed down from their ancestors, and it is also a tradition and a symbol.

Just like the Noxus Empire prefers black and red, the Demacian Empire prefers silver and white.

The former represents the chill of war, and the latter represents nobility and elegance.

"Of course!"

Marcos was sitting opposite Camille, and the curve from her legs to her buttocks could be seen from this angle, which was a wonderful sight.

"Also, if our cooperation goes well enough, I can guarantee that the Philos family will stand on top of Piltover for at least a thousand years!"

The prospect of Hextech is definitely great and far-reaching, and Marcos doesn't think there is any exaggeration in his wording.

But Camille doesn't seem to think so.

She crossed her legs, put her hands together on her knees, tapped the back of her hand with her right index finger, and said after pondering for a few seconds: "There is no family power in this world that can last forever, even if it is as strong as the ancient Shurima Empire, ruling the entire Shuriman Empire." The Ma continent disappeared in just a few hundred years."

"That's because the ancient Shurima Empire was too ambitious, and the pace of expansion was too hasty." Marcus immediately retorted: "If the ancient Shurima Empire can calm down and slowly figure it out, it will eventually take over the Tianshen Peak and Fu All continents other than these two territories of the Realjord are not difficult.

Moreover, the Shurima Empire did not exist for hundreds of years, but for 3000 years. The hundreds of years you mentioned are only the reign of the last emperor Azir. "

clap clap clap!
Camille couldn't help applauding after hearing Marcos' point of view: "As expected of Ms. Pale, she has a unique view on war and knows history very well."

"Speaking of which, it's true that a mysterious existence like yours has a long lifespan, how can you understand the anguish of a mortal's life passing away in a hundred years?"

"You said I was Ms. Pale?" Marcus was stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did Miss Camille come to such a conclusion?"

"you are not?"

Camille was stunned for a moment: "Since you are not Pale Lady, why does Marvin from the Black Rose Sect call you my lord?"

"You mean this?!" Marcus suddenly realized, he didn't expect Camille to have such an outrageous association because of this kind of thing, "I just accidentally learned a canon that Ms. Pale often talks about, Ma Wen didn't react immediately after hearing it, so he saluted me."

This kind of thing has become a routine in the Black Rose Sect. After all, every time the pale lady shows up, her appearance and even gender are different. The believers generally use this canon to identify the pale lady's identity.

In fact, Marvin had already reacted later, so he remained silent during the period before his death, until Camille said that he would be interrogated before bumping him to death.

Regarding Marcus' explanation, Camille still remained skeptical: "How can you tell me to believe you? Mr. Marcus? Let's call you that first."

"Hmm..." Marcus pondered for a moment: "With the ability of Black Rose, it is definitely not difficult to forge a perfect life resume. Even if I tell some history of my identity, it will be difficult for Miss Camille. And trust me."

Having said that, he changed the subject: "However, it is rumored that Ms. Pale is a woman. Why don't Miss Camille verify my identity?"

When he said this, there was a sincere and innocent expression on his face, as if he had to make this suggestion.

Camille blushed slightly: "Do you think I dare not?"

"If that's the case, then come on!"

Marcus couldn't wait to stand up, and began to untie the belt, seeing that the pants were about to come off.

"Stop, stop!" Camille stopped quickly, "There is no need to test again, I believe you are not Ms. Pale."

"Really?" Marcus stopped and grabbed his trousers with both hands, in a posture that would allow Camille to verify his body at any time. "Are you sure you don't want to take a look? Maybe I'm the pale lady?"

"go with!"

Camille turned her head away, her face was on fire: "The leader of the dignified Black Rose Sect will never be such a rascal like you!"

She turned her head and turned back again: "Quickly put your belt back on!"

"Oh." Marcus quickly fastened the belt and sat down on the sofa again, as if nothing had happened just now.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and a maid from the Philos family came in, carrying refreshments for the guests.

After she put all her things on the expensive coffee table, she bowed to the two and left.

Marcus squinted his eyes, staring at the leaving figure of the maid, thoughtfully.

"Cough!" Camille coughed intentionally and reminded: "Mr. Marcus, please respect yourself!"

As if he had never heard of it, Marcus asked, "Who was that maid just now?"

Camille frowned, endured the anger in her heart and introduced: "Selena is my father's personal maid, and she is the only maid in the entire Philos Manor who can enter father's living room and study room alone."

"Oh...a personal plaything?" Marcos touched his chin meaningfully.

Camille clenched her fists: "Mr. Marcus, if you continue to disrespect the Ferros family, I will drive you out!"

"Don't get angry." Marcus smiled slightly, picked up a cup of tea and was about to drink it, but put it back in place: "I advise you to go to your father's living room now, maybe there will be surprises. "

"Surprise?" Camille looked at him suspiciously.

Marcus smiled without saying a word, with his hands folded in front of his chest, as if I would wait for you to come back here and never run around.

Camille hesitated again and again, stood up and said, "I'll see what tricks you play!"

After speaking, she walked out of the study.

After Camille left, Marcus sat in his original position very faithfully.

After about 3 minutes, there was a commotion outside the study.

boom!
The study door was opened, and Camille walked in with a livid face.

Behind her, there are guards in the Philos manor, coming and going quickly, running around, as if looking for something.

"How?" Marcus turned his head and looked at Camille with a half-smile: "Did you find that surprise?"

"How do you know?" Camille looked at Marcus with fear in her eyes.

"Well, it looks like I found it." Marcos raised her eyebrows: "A seasoned maid would never just put refreshments on the coffee table with a tray, and didn't even divide the tea between the host and guest. Obviously she There are more important things to do."

"So... what else is more important than fulfilling the master's orders?"

"The answer is obvious, and that is to find something hidden in the manor."

"Let me guess... what is it?"

Marcus frowned in distress: "Should it be something that can make huge profits? Commercial secrets? The mineral distribution of hex gems?"

"Well... not like, even if you get that kind of thing, it's worthless, because the mine that produces Hex gemstones has been occupied by the Philos family."

"That is... something that can replace the Hex Gem and become the best-selling product of the new generation of the Philos family?"

The expression on Camille's face changed continuously, and she remained silent.

Marcus smiled proudly: "It seems that I guessed it right."
