Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 66 Goodbye Shirko

"Why do you even say that to me?"

Jess was very annoyed: "You should know who I do everything for, isn't it to make ordinary people live a better life? This is our ambition from the beginning, isn't it?"

"I didn't say you did something wrong, but there should always be an order in everything, don't you..."

Victor lowered his voice when he said this: "Have you forgotten Marcus' ability?"

Marcus' ability?

Isn't it the so-called dream that predicts the future?

But it's been a few years, and he hasn't been able to come up with other Hextech-related blueprints. How can this not make Jess feel impatient?
The reason why he researched other derivative products halfway was not because he was worried that Marcus's ability was unreliable, and he wanted to produce more results when others had seen Hexagate and had high hopes for them, so as to lay the foundation for the future. Is Hex Technology important in the hearts of the people?
Did he do something wrong?

Why didn't Marcus even bother to look at it?
……

Could it be that……

A thought flashed in Jess's mind, Marcus actually knew something in advance through the dream, so he didn't want to see the new product with him today?
Correct!
It must be so!

Jess' eyes lit up, and Marcus reminded himself more than once to study the Hex Core first, perhaps because the Hex Core can solve the instability of mining gloves and engraving rays?

"Okay!" Jess revived instantly, full of energy, and said loudly: "We will continue the research on the Hex core now, I can't wait!"

After finishing speaking, Victor, who was handicapped with his legs and feet, left.

Behind him, Senator Mel, who was about to come over for a chat, stared blankly at them walking away with a bewildered expression on his face.

What's happening here?
Are you that scary?

Why did you just leave when you saw yourself coming?
and also……

The protagonists of this ceremony are you!

What are you running for?
Mel looked around, but couldn't find Marcus.

Ok……

All three are gone!
Is the ceremony still open?

There is no way, as one of the shareholders of Hextech, Mel can only turn to Councilor Gilaman, and the two will jointly deal with the nobles and merchants in Piltover.

Fortunately, this kind of scene is similar to their daily life, so it is very easy to deal with.

So what is Marcus doing?

After taking Catherine to pretend to 'patrol' for a few laps, he left the other party and ran to the bottom city alone.

Forgan's Tavern.

Since Van der disappeared, Shirko has led people to occupy this place.

Those conservatives once made a big fuss here because of this, but after Silko asked his subordinates to teach them a lesson and introduced the shimmer potion, they fell.

The shimmering potion can temporarily bring powerful power to people. When the people of Dicheng have been oppressed for a long time, there is a hostility and involuntary grievance hidden in everyone's heart.

And these emotions have become the probiotics that make them obsessed with the shimmering potion, making those who have been exposed to the shimmering potion want to stop this kind of alchemy potion that can destroy people's brains and harm people's bodies.

When the conservatives were all immersed in the pleasure brought by the twilight, no one in the bottom city could pose a threat to Silko.

Except for those alchemy barons in the dancing corridor, Silko has no opponents.

Pushing open the door of Fulgen's Tavern, and passing through the smoky lobby of the tavern, Marcus came to Silko's office.

This place has been remodeled by Silko, and the decoration style is much more insane than when Van der was still there. A desk that is huge enough for four people to have a party on it and a swivel boss chair made of leather are enough. style.

As soon as he entered the door, Marcos smelled a strong smell of tobacco. He glanced to the side with disgust. There was a middle-aged strong woman with a mechanical left arm sitting there.

"Why do I always see a bug that shouldn't be alive every time I come to your place?"

Marcus took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and covered his mouth and nose. Whether in his previous life or now, he hated people smoking in front of him.

Especially since the smoke was spit out by Sevica, it made him feel extremely sick.

"Humph!"

Sevica turned the cigarette she was holding in her mouth and stared at Marcos viciously, as if she would rush over and tear Marcos into pieces with her ferocious left hand in the next second.

"Sevica, you go out first."

Silko sat on the boss chair with his back facing the door, his voice was hoarse and gloomy, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark spitting out a message.

When the boss spoke, Sevica lost the opportunity to attack, stood up from where she was sitting, and walked out with heavy steps.

When passing by Marcos, she deliberately hit Marcos with a hard mechanical left arm, causing critical damage to Marcos' shoulder.

Marcos' eyes narrowed immediately, and a strong murderous intent flashed through them.

"Hey~"

Sevica let out a contemptuous sound from her nostrils, as if mocking Marcos for being a softie, and even dared not fight back.

Immediately afterwards, she strode out of the office.

"It's hard to imagine, this mad dog who betrayed Van der, you actually kept her for five years?" Marcos rubbed his painful shoulder, and began to provoke the relationship between Silko and Sevica: " She can betray Vander, and one day she will betray you."

"Betrayal and being betrayed, trying to sort out the relationship between them is not a matter of a few words."

Silko turned around: "If you insist on naming a traitor, it's better to say that Vander betrayed Bottom City."

Did Vandel betray Bottom City?
not necessarily.

He just hoped that the bottom city could operate safely and without unnecessary casualties.

Better to be alive, even oppressed, than dead.

On the other hand, under the leadership of Shirko, the bottom city is full of drug addicts who are addicted to Shimmer, and some of them are businessmen who have lived a very prosperous life in the bottom city.

Now he is hiding in some abandoned buildings, fighting for food with the rats in the gutter.

shimmer.

Is it really a faint ray of hope for the people of the bottom city?
Marcus didn't want to argue with Silko on this issue, because it was pointless.

He asked: "You suddenly asked Fez to call me over, is there anything else you want me to do?"

In the past five years, only the first two years of Marcos's income from Silko's was relatively high, and in the next three years, because those gangs had almost been eliminated, the income dropped sharply.

He only earned [-] gold coins in three full years, which was not even comparable to the total income in the first year.

"It seems that the city is very lively today?"

Silko didn't directly state the purpose, but asked something else: "I heard it's about the completion ceremony of the Hexfly Gate, and you are also one of the protagonists?"

"That's right!" Marcus didn't deny that this kind of thing had been scouted by Shirko's people in the past five years, and he was well aware of it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't ask those people to draw all the heads of him, Jess, and Victor on the fuselage of the airship, because there was no need to continue to hide it.

"Could you tell me about the so-called Hexfly Gate?" Shirko expressed great interest in it.

"It's just a hub for cargo transportation, there's nothing to say." Marcus said indifferently: "And in the past five years, haven't you already known its function? Maybe not to do some damage?"

As soon as he said this, Silko's one eye narrowed, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Marcos, today you are different from usual."
