The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 237 Piltover Policewoman Caitlin

Crackling!

Electricity flashed, and bursts of harsh sounds sounded, as if every molecule in the air was vibrating.

The delinquent young men who heard the commotion looked at their companions who were twitching on the ground and foaming at the mouth. The fierce look on their faces turned into panic. Their two sides trembled, almost wanting to leave first.

But before they could leave, chaotic footsteps came.

Piltover guards were seen pouring into the alley like a purple tide, the Hextech standard rifles in their hands flashing azure brilliance, aiming at everyone.

"Uh!"

The delinquent young people made the most correct decision when they saw the cold eyes of the Piltover guards and the electric light remaining on the dark muzzles.

Bang! Bang!

With bursts of crisp sounds, sharp daggers and blades fell to the ground one after another,

Without any hesitation, these bad young men put their heads in their hands and squatted down, leaning against the wall.

"Master Guard, we are just chatting together, there is no need to open fire, right?"

But Huo Jixing seemed extremely calm, even without fear.

"If anything happens to our companions, we will definitely complain about your favoritism in law enforcement."

When Huo Jixing and the bad youths came in, the Pi City guards looked at them with scrutiny, and then a look of disgust appeared on their faces.

Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze and looked at the Pi City guards in front of him.

"Ok?"

The cold-faced Pi City guards didn't say anything, they just kicked them over and started beating the bad youths with their rifle butts.

"Stop fighting! We were wrong!"

Such a performance naturally attracted the attention of the Pi City guards.

The noise and chaos are isolated outside the glazed door.

In Piltover, the Piltover Guard's duty is to maintain law and order.

Huo Jixing wrote down the name of the shop and followed the Pi City guards back to the Pi City police station.

He saw a somewhat familiar face in a shop next to the street.

When Huo Jixing came in, he saw many Pi City guards busy dealing with various matters.

"There's been a robbery."

"is her."

This guy seems to be different from ordinary Piltover guards.

Wearing a blue uniform, gold-rimmed glasses, and a black beard at the corner of his mouth, he looks very trustworthy.

Compared with the shabby and dirty streets before, the police station seemed to be from another world.

Huo Jixing nodded helplessly, indicating that it was no problem, and allowed the Pi City guards to take him and the delinquent youths away from the scene.

The interior of the police station is clean and tidy, with lights reflecting on the smooth floor and a special place for garbage.

Although the lower urban area is still Piltover's sphere of influence, no one is allowed to trample on the law.

"Ah, stop fighting!"

They were either standing, sitting, or interrogating prisoners, concentrating on their work.

Piltover police detectives are higher-level law enforcement officers, and their responsibilities are more to investigate cases and arrest criminals.

"What's going on here?"

Just outside the alley, the Pi City guard noticed something unusual about Huo Jixing.

The Pi City guard at the front frowned, looking disgusted as he walked past the wailing delinquent youths and walked up to Huo Jixing, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Lower urban area, Piltover Police Department.

But after all, this place is bordered by the Zaun area, so it is inevitably influenced by Zuan and becomes chaotic and disorderly.

Obviously, these delinquent young people have long been regular visitors to the police station.

Huo Jixing spoke softly, and was about to look for the middle-aged woman who had lost her backpack, but found that the woman had already left the alley without knowing when.

When walking out of the alley, many onlookers gathered around and pointed at Huo Jixing and others without fear.

They usually patrol the streets to prevent and deal with emergencies and ensure the safety of citizens' lives and property.

Seeing this, the Pi City police detective reached out and patted Huo Jixing's shoulder, somewhat understanding his mood.

Ordinary people usually show fear or panic when faced with those vicious and delinquent young people.

Huo Jixing sat down on a clean seat. Opposite him was the Piltover police detective who had brought him over.

"Yes, yes, is chatting illegal?"

Detective Piltover!

"It's such a chaotic place." Huo Jixing sighed inwardly.

"If there are no witnesses, we need you to return to the police station and assist in the investigation."

When Pi City guards took Huo Jixing away.

"Those are Zaun people, engaging in illegal trade." The Piltover police detective followed Huo Jixing's gaze and spoke softly.

The Zaun people he was talking about were people who had transformed their bodies with alchemical technology. They had mechanical arms, but they looked a little old and rusty.

"Ariel, Detective Piltover." Ariel said in a deep voice.

His eyes swept over Huo Jixing, as if assessing this unusual young man.

Huo Jixing didn't care about Ariel's gaze. He took out the coat of arms of the Myrdalda family and placed it on the table.

"Huo Jixing, advisor to the Myrdalda family."

When Ariel heard this, his pupils tightened, he reached out to pick up the iron badge and observed it carefully.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Huo Jixing." Ariel stood up, bent slightly, and held the iron badge in both hands.

"We will finalize it as soon as possible and teach those guys an unforgettable lesson."

Huo Jixing took back the badge, glanced at the wailing delinquent youths not far away, and shook his head slightly.

"Can we go then?"

"Of course, you can leave at any time." Ariel noticed Huo Jixing's gaze and said with a smile.

Huo Jixing nodded, stood up and left his seat.

It has to be said that the coat of arms of the Myrdalda family is really easy to use. It can be concluded without any assistance in the investigation and without the interrogation process.

A glimpse of the leopard reveals the terrifying influence of the Myrdalda family in Piltover.

Huo Jixing walked past the workstation with a relaxed expression.

Just when he arrived at Liuli's door, a voice sounded from behind.

"Why can he just leave?" A bad young man stood up and said angrily.

But what greeted him was a loud slap.

Snapped!

Ariel swung his palm directly, turning the bad boy's body half-turn, and fell heavily to the ground. The bright red palm print was almost engraved on his face.

The next moment!

The police station seemed to have turned into a vegetable market and was extremely noisy.

The companions of the delinquent youths clamored loudly, but what awaited them was a similar ending.

After Ariel finished processing everything and looked at the retreating figure, he felt relieved in his heart.

Not many people can walk around Piltover holding the Medalda family crest.

Even within the Myrdalda family, there are only a few people.

"Ariel, what happened?"

There was a voice of questioning behind him, and Ariel looked over, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Sheriff Caitlin."

Ariel straightened his body and saluted respectfully to the woman in front of him who was wearing a police uniform and carrying a Hextech precision rifle.

Then he recounted what he had just encountered on the street.

"Advisor of the Myrdalda family?"

Caitlin's expression condensed, and her gaze fell on the fading figure outside the door.

Ordinary people in Piltover only know that the Myrdalda family is very wealthy and can even influence the decisions of the Parliament to a certain extent.

But Caitlin, who comes from a business family, is more aware of the overwhelming power of the Myrdalda family. Before becoming the Sheriff, Caitlin Gilaman was a young lady from a wealthy and powerful business family. She had learned the social etiquette of Piltover society since she was a child.

Her mother was one of several auditors of the Giramann family and was a member of the upper echelons of Piltover.

But there are still a few steps to go before becoming a member of the Piltover Council.

As for the Myrdalda family, there is a direct descendant who serves as a member of the Piltover Council and has considerable say.

"But something seems to have happened to the Myrdalda family recently. Merchant ships going out to sea are frequently attacked."

Caitlin's eyes flickered and she thought to herself.

Then she looked at the delinquent youths lying on the ground and said to Ariel in a serious tone.

"Be careful, don't kill anyone."

Although Caitlin is from a business family, she has loved going to the wilderness on the outskirts of the city since she was a child.

She could also use her father's repeating Mauser to hit a hare a hundred paces away with one shot, especially in the eyes.

After experiencing the robbery of her family, Caitlin completely changed.

She tracked down the intruders of her home one by one from within the city alleys of Piltover and brought them to justice.

In the end, Caitlin was recommended by the Piltover Guard and became a well-respected sergeant in the Piltover Guard.

Ariel touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, looked at Caitlin, and nodded to express understanding.

"Well, I have something to go up first."

Caitlin looked away, carrying the Hextech precision rifle, and walked towards her office.

"When Wei comes back, ask her to come to me directly."

"Okay, I will notify the commander." Ariel stood at attention and saluted.

Outside the Piltover Police Department.

Huo Jixing seemed to realize something, stopped and looked back.

His calm eyes ignored the glazed door, and he saw a familiar figure beside Ariel.

Piltover policewoman Caitlin!

The long dark purple hair shines in the sun, and the cold eyes reveal an inviolable majesty.

The well-fitting police uniform and slim figure perfectly show Caitlin's beauty and ability.

Thick leather gloves wrapped his hands, and he carried a Hextech precision rifle with a hint of danger on his back.

"Why don't you see her partner, Vi, the Piltover law enforcer from Zaun?"

Huo Jixing looked slightly surprised when he saw Caitlin in the police station.

But he would not rush back to the police station to say hello to Caitlin specifically.

Huo Jixing left the police station and walked along the street, recalling in his mind the familiar faces he had just seen in the shop.

"Why is she in the lower urban area?"

After Huo Jixing pondered for a while, adhering to the principle of caution, he decided to investigate again at night.

Rumble!

The copper-colored cable car slowed down from far to near, and finally stopped steadily in front of the platform.

Huo Jixing walked off the cable car calmly and looked at the Chamber of Commerce area he had arrived at.

There are many bronze and glazed buildings, row upon row of exquisite shops, and a lot of people and traffic.

The bustling scene in front of you and the lower urban area create a strong sense of separation.

Just as Huo Jixing was admiring this bustling area, a tall figure wearing a Pi City guard uniform came over.

It's the captain of the Piltover Guard——

Mathiu.

This guy walked briskly and vigorously, and greeted Huo Jixing with a smile on his face.

"Lord Huo Jixing, are you going out for a walk again?"

Huo Jixing smiled and said, "I went to the lower city."

He did not elaborate on his itinerary, and Mathiu asked no further questions.

In recent days, Huo Jixing would meet Mathiu from time to time every time he went out.

It can be seen that the captain of the Pi City Guard seems to pay special attention to Huo Jixing and always tries to curry favor with him.

Huo Jixing was also happy about this, and learned a lot of interesting stories about Piltover from Mathiu.

"The lower urban area." Mathiu touched his chin, approached Huo Jixing, and whispered.

"Has your lord ever tasted Shimmer Wine?"

Huo Jixing's heart moved and he quickly recalled the origin of Shimmer Wine.

Glimmer potion.

An alchemical magic potion originating from Zaun.

The original purpose was to treat diseases through medicine, but later it turned into a terrifying research to pursue abilities and immortality.

Glimmer wine is wine produced with a small dose of shimmering medicine.

Rumor has it that shimmer wine can give people a subtle sense of healing, but it has some addictive properties.

"Isn't this illegal alcohol from Zu'an?" Huo Jixing asked.

Shimmer liquor has long been on Piltover's banned list and is not allowed to be sold in the city.

"Haha, in the lower urban areas, as long as you have money, you can't get anything." Mathiu immediately laughed.

"If you need it, I can get you a few bottles."

"no need."

Huo Jixing shook his head gently and rejected Mathieu's kindness.

He understands that sometimes just a simple opening can give others a chance to take control of themselves.

When Mathiu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly covered it up and continued talking to Huo Jixing with his enthusiastic smile.

Until Huo Jixing returned to Myrdalda Castle.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing strolled on the way back to his room.

He looked at the silent castle and noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, as if something was happening.

He frowned slightly, looked at the towering main castle, and chose to go back to his room first.

Since the Myrdalda family has not found themselves yet, it means that the matter is still within the scope of their resolution.

The main castle study room.

The glazed light soaked into the ground.

Jagu Midarda sat behind the desk, stared at the old housekeeper in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"It's almost the appointed time. Isn't there any news back yet?"

Hero looked slightly helpless when he thought of the explorer who took over the mission.

"There is no news about that one yet."

"But with his reputation in Piltover, he should be able to bring back the news before the appointed time."

Jia Gu leaned against the soft seat, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and spoke in an unusually cold tone.

"I don't want to hear the word should."

"Noxian guests are in the castle, and the Myrdalda family will not allow any mistakes."

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Hero's forehead, and his bowed body trembled imperceptibly.

The old man who seemed gentle and respected in front of him actually possessed a ruthlessness that ordinary people could not see.

Otherwise, the Myrdalda family would not have developed into the most powerful chamber of commerce family in Piltover.

"I will immediately arrange to go down and look for traces of that person."

Hero bowed and left the room, disappearing into the corridor.
