Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 8 How do you know my name?
"The crime was committed in front of the Law Enforcement Bureau in full view, and the crime was caught on the spot, with all witnesses!"

Marcus looked down at the fat woman, and his voice hidden under the metal mask was extremely cold, "I am arresting you as a law enforcement officer in Piltover, you have the right to appeal, and any words you say will be punished." become evidence in court.

Ms. Carritos, although the Stillwater Prison only holds prisoners captured from the bottom city in principle, I think it is easy to put a few prisoners in my capacity. "

"No! You can't do this to me!"

Hearing the still water prison, the fat woman's narrowed eyes widened into two slits, and she yelled in horror: "I want to sue you, Marcus! You abused your power!!"

Hearing the screams that could be compared to slaughtering a pig, Marcus waved his hand in disgust, and a law enforcement officer who suppressed the young couple was very discerning, and came to grab the back collar of the fat woman's clothes and dragged her away.

As for where to go.

As Marcus said, she will soon appear in Stillwater Prison, and suffer as the Undercity deserves.

After the fat woman's voice completely faded away, Marcos took off the mask on his face and glanced at the law enforcement officers who were still suppressing the young couple.

Under this gaze, they let go of the two of them wisely and took a few steps back.

"Sha Sha!"

The young husband hurriedly supported his wife, who finally passed out due to convulsions, and was very worried.

Marcos was not interested in them, so he knelt down in front of the girl and showed an amiable smile, helped her wipe the tears off her face, and asked in a gentle tone, "Hi, kid, what's your name?"

"Wow~" The girl was still crying.

Marcus looked sideways and saw a pair of special metal earplugs in the girl's ears. He reached out and took them off, and asked repeatedly: "My little friend, what's your name?"

At this time, the girl didn't know what she heard, and her crying stopped, and she looked at Marcos in surprise: "My name is Seraphine, how did you know my name?"

Marcus returned her surprised expression, and teased her: "I didn't call your name, how do you know I know?"

Seraphine pointed to Marcus's heart, and said innocently: "I heard you, you called my name in your heart."

"Oh? So powerful?"

Marcos can be sure that the little girl in front of her is the future famous "Star Lai Diva" in the two cities and even the entire Runeterra, but the talent she acquired at birth has not yet been fully developed, even because she can't control it. The ability to eavesdrop on the voices of other people's souls has instead plagued her and her parents.

For a moment, the idea of ​​teasing this future superstar arose in his mind, and he silently recited the well-known mantra in his previous life: Odds change and evens remain the same, symbols look at quadrants.

"What now? What's on my mind?"

"Ah I……"

Seraphine listened sideways for a while, and finally shook her head in confusion: "I can't hear clearly, it's a bit like the whisper of a demon."

"..."

"Nini, don't talk nonsense!"

When Seraphine's father heard the taboo word 'devil' from the child's mouth, he hurried over to stop, fearing that his daughter would offend the seemingly high-ranking law enforcement officer in front of him.

"My lord law enforcement officer, Nini is still young, if she bumps into you, I apologize to you on her behalf!"

"It's ok."

Marcus smiled gently, put on the special earplugs for Seraphine, and gently scraped her small nose.

In the future, this superstar will be a great beauty who will attract everyone's attention. If people find out that he scratched the big star's nose like teasing a child, how many people will kill him with envious and jealous eyes.

Seraphine was clearly not used to a stranger being so intimate with her, so she couldn't help wrinkling her nose in protest.

This silly expression and movement made Marcos laugh out loud. He gently helped her up from the ground, and watched her run behind the young man and hide by hugging his calf. Then he got up: "You two Seraphine's parents?"

"Yes, my lord." The young man's expression was a little cramped.

Marcus knew that he was still worried about whether he would blame them for his daughter's disrespectful words just now, and comforted him: "Relax, Nini is a kind child, I like her very much."

He thought that saying this would dispel the other party's doubts, but he didn't expect the young man in front of him to hear this, but instead added a trace of worry and doubt to his cramped expression.

This made Marcus stunned, and it took a while to realize that the young father might have mistakenly thought he was a copper smelter.

In order to avoid getting darker, he quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I just think this child is destined for me. If you don't mind, I want to adopt this child as a foster daughter. With my help, you can live in Piltover After becoming a husband, life and work will be much more convenient.”

"This..." The young man still hesitated when he heard this.

But something hidden in Marcus's words moved him.

It is not easy for Zaun people to buy a house in Piltover. They must have a registered permanent residence in Piltover. They came here today to bring the money they have saved over the years and want to transfer their registered permanent residence to Piltover. Come.

Unexpectedly, she was made things difficult by the fat lady named Carritos.

However, the law enforcement officer in front of them who rescued them actually meant to help them get their household registration, so why didn't they be tempted?

but……

The price of moving to Shangcheng turned out to be to make his own daughter the adopted daughter of the other party?
This made it difficult for him to accept.

He had heard some rumors about the people from the upper city in Zaan. It is said that some nobles in the upper city would adopt some girls in the name of father and daughter as a taboo for fun...

Marcus could see that the other party still didn't believe him, so he said, "I know that people who have never met say this for the first time. It must not be convincing. It doesn't matter. First, the household registration is confirmed, and then we can move into the upper city." .

For other things, we can leave it to time to prove. "

While talking, he took his family of three back into the household registration department, and with the help of another household registration department staff member who came later, he helped them handle the household registration transfer procedures.

During this period, Marcos knew the names of the family.

The man's name is Ilodan, his wife's name is Xia Sha, and his daughter is the famous future superstar - Seraphine.

At the same time, he also learned that the young couple ran an audio shop in the area closest to Picheng in Zaun. They were mainly responsible for repairing damaged sound-generating machines for others, and their skills were good.

Most of the guests are from Picheng. After all, besides the "City of Progress", it is also known as the "City of Art".

And music is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful arts in the world!

"Master Marcus, thank you very much. Without your help, we really don't know what to do."

Xia Sha, who was rescued from a coma by a potion brought by a law enforcement officer, was very grateful to Marcus. She didn't expect that someone from the "nobles" of Piltover, which is said to be high in Zaun's population, would be willing to lend a helping hand to them.
