Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 446 Obstacle
It was normal for Vander to have such a feeling. He even suspected that the strange man would target the three children. After all, as soon as the three children left, the strange man followed.

Once this idea came into being, it became uncontrollable. Moreover, the strange guy just now chatted with the three little guys and used his power to seduce the three children.

At this point, Vander was even more worried. He quickly put down the work in his hands, asked a few men to help him keep an eye on it, and then chased outside. He wanted to find out what was going on.

Vandal really couldn't understand why the mysterious man was interested in Vi, Boom, and Ekko. They were just kids everywhere in Zaun. What was so special about them?

Wei and Baobao are the children of Vandal's good friends. Their parents died in the "Battle of the Bridge of Progress". Many Zaun workers died on that occasion, which was also the main reason why Vandal retired from the underworld.

He felt that violence would hardly help change the current situation in Zaun, and would ultimately bring a lot of suffering to the people of Zaun because of their resistance.

"Zaan" is not united enough, and the "Chemist Barons" have their own ulterior motives, but when facing "Zaan", the "Ladies of Piltover" are quite united, which is why they failed in their last struggle.

Vandal realized that they could not fight against the entire power of Piltover on their own, and could not overthrow the oppression of Piltover, so Vandal finally gave up and became a deserter, but he thought there was nothing wrong with what he did.

At least, he will no longer take the good men of Zaun to die, and he will no longer let those outstanding young people of Zaun die in the confrontation with Piltover. The future of Zaun needs them, and the children of Zaun also need parents.

Vandal doesn't want the tragedy of Wei and Baobao to happen again. After that war, there were countless orphans in "Zaan".

"Sir, that Fandel is following us."

Earlier, the "Red Rat Baron" told Ke Ling that he was very sensitive to Vander's tracking. The main reason was that Vander was not small in size and he had no experience in tracking, so he was naturally easily discovered by the "Red Rat Baron".

"Red Rat Baron" actually knew that Lord Ke Ling must have discovered it a long time ago, but he would definitely report it if he found out. It was a matter of attitude.

"Ignore him."

Ke Ling nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Ke Ling didn't find it strange that Vander would follow. It would be strange if he didn't follow. This former leader of the resistance would not remain indifferent when the children were in danger.

However, Ke Ling did not intend to pay attention to him. It was okay for him to go and witness it. He really had to let Vander see what his children were doing. These little guys were not at all restless.

Soon, Ke Ling and "Red Rat Baron" followed Wei and Baobao and saw that the two of them had gathered all the team members.

In addition to Vi and Bakugo, there are two other boys in their team, namely Craig and Milo. Milo is a thin brown-skinned boy, while Craig is a fat boy. The two of them, Vi, Bakugo, and tiny Ike are all friends who have grown up together.

"Wei, is it really appropriate for us to bring Bombshell with us on this mission?"

Seeing Wei bringing Bombshell along, Milo felt a little disgusted, because he thought Bombshell was a "burden" and was of no use at all. The big plan they were going to do was not suitable for bringing a child along.

"Why wouldn't it be appropriate?! I'm sure it will be useful!"

Baobao was very dissatisfied with being questioned by Milo. She felt that she was useful and could definitely help.

"You can have one."

Before Milo could finish his words, Wei interrupted him.

"Stop talking, Milo. Bomb can help too."

As soon as Wei opened her mouth, Milo shut up. Wei was their big sister, and Milo and Craig both obeyed her. They were all orphans adopted by Vander, and could be said to be brothers and sisters in another sense.

"Is the little guy's intelligence reliable?"

Craig, who had been silent, spoke up. His voice was low and calm, and he was not affected by the argument just now.

"It should be reliable, right? If that guy dares to lie to us, we will just beat him to death when we get back. I guess he definitely doesn't dare to joke with us."

Wei said that she still believed in the information provided by "Tiny" Ike.

"Then why didn't he go with him?"

Craig continued to ask. This little fat boy who looks strong actually has a very delicate mind and is calm and careful.

"Um, he said Benso's grocery store needs him."

Wei scratched her head. She didn't think much about it. Besides, this was a very normal thing. Ike had been helping in Benso's grocery store. Ike was also very interested in the work in the grocery store, especially the mechanical things.

"Uncle Benso."

Hearing this reason, Craig was speechless. That "little guy" actually used Uncle Benso as an excuse.
Benso is a good brother of their adoptive father Vandel, and an old comrade who participated in the "Battle of the Bridge of Progress" together. They were all miners in the past, and because they were dissatisfied with the oppression of "Piltover", they led the people of Dirk to fight armed resistance.

Benso knew the parents of Vander, Hilco, Wei and Bombas, and was very familiar with them. He and Ike were like father and son, and had been taking care of and training him after Ike's parents died.

It can be said that Benso was a very key figure, and his death affected the development of many subsequent events.

"Forget it, if the little one doesn't want to go, then don't go. We'll go by ourselves!"

Milo shouted. He was very impatient and courageous. Although Big Sister Wei was the leader and commander of the team, it was usually Milo who acted first. He was the most agile and was the vanguard of the team.

"What do you think, Wei?"

Craig asked Wei as he pushed up his goggles, his goggles looked familiar, they were the ones that the future Wei wore.

Craig, who is strong and calm, is the strength and backbone of the team. He can neutralize Milo's impatience very well.

If Ke Ling hadn't been there, one day in the future, both Craig and Milo would have died from Bao Bao's "kind help".

"action!"

Wei didn't hesitate, she was ready to take action immediately.

"Let's go to the upper city!" Wei waved his hand and led everyone to go to the upper city to cause trouble.

"Tiny" Ike provided them with a piece of information, a crucial piece of information, which was about a batch of "Hextech Crystals". As the most core energy material of the entire "Piltover", "Hextech Crystals" were of very high value. If they could get this batch of goods, they could definitely sell it for a high price!

As for why “Tiny” Ike was able to get this kind of information?
It's very simple, because the "Benso's Grocery Store" where "Tiny" Ike works is ostensibly a machinery parts store operated in the "Black Alley", but in fact it is a place for secret transactions of illegal items. Benso collects and sells weapons, stolen goods and everything else.

"Black Alley" is the name of the block where "Benso's Grocery Store" and "Folgen's Bar" are located. It is also the name of the small circle headed by Vandel and Benso. They are responsible for managing this place.

There is no way. This is how it is in "Zaan". If you don't manage it, other "gangs" or "alchemy barons" will naturally manage it. So even if Vandel has retired and given up armed resistance, he still has to rely on his own strength to defend the "Black Alley".

Benso is a straightforward and loyal person. He enjoys prestige among the lower-class people in Zaun, and everyone in "Black Alley" respects him.

Benso's grocery store is a mixed bag, with all kinds of people coming and going frequently. Naturally, they bring all kinds of news.

Although "Tiny" Ike is not very big, tall, or strong, he is very smart. He naturally remembers the news that enters his ears, and this time the news was obtained in the same way.

The information given by “Tiny” Ekko in the previous few times was quite accurate, so this time Wei still chose to believe “Tiny” Ekko.

After making the decision, the group of four immediately prepared to go to the upper city.

However, before they were about to go to the upper city, the group of four were stopped. The one who stopped them was naturally Vander.

That’s right, it’s not Ke Ling and the “Red Rat Baron”, but Vander.

Before, Vander had been tracking Ke Ling and the "Red Rat Baron", but as he walked, he lost them, and the ones who appeared in his sight were Wei, Baobao, Milo, and Craig.

Vander did not say anything. He continued to follow the children silently. He lost Ke Ling and the "Red Rat Baron". It was the same when he followed the children. If those two strange guys were going to attack the children, they would definitely follow the children. He only needed to "sit back and wait".

Although it seemed a bit arrogant to come here alone, Vandel was, after all, a former leader of the Resistance Army. He was still a capable fighter and he had confidence in himself.

The most important thing is that even if he doesn't have confidence, he has to go ahead. Because he was in a hurry to go out, Vander didn't consider this problem at all. It is obviously impossible to go back and call for help now.

Therefore, Vander planned to see the situation first. If the situation allowed, he would directly ask a few children to go back to the "Black Alley", which would at least be much safer than being outside.

However, after following them for a while, Vander found something wrong. Are these little guys preparing to go to the upper city?

Fandel was very familiar with the road to the upper city. This road was obviously the way to the "Public Hex Pressure Conveyor".

Some people may think that it is a bit stupid to take the "Public Hextech Pressure Transporter" to the upper city to commit a crime. Even if it is successful, it is probably difficult to bring it back to "Zaan". After all, although there is basically no inspection on the "Public Hextech Pressure Transporter", once something happens, the inspection will be very strict.

But in fact, there is not only one road from Piltover to Zaun. Zaun’s complex pipeline system has become a fast channel from Piltover.

Vi and her group just happened to know about such a fast passage. After completing the crime, they would return to Zaun through that fast passage. They would not have to worry about not being able to escape, and those Piltover people would have no chance of finding any trace of them.

Unfortunately, they were caught before they could accomplish their mission. Vandel did not let these kids leave. He could tell at a glance that these guys were up to no good, so he stopped them before they could get on the "Public Hextech Pressure Conveyor".

"Wei, Baobao, Milo, Craig, what are you going to do?"

After stopping the children, Vander immediately asked, his face serious and full of annoyance.

"Vandel?!"

Seeing Vandel appear here, Wei, Baobao, Milo and Craig were all dumbfounded. They thought of many results and many processes, but they had never thought of this.

So, after seeing Vander appear, Wei, Boom, Milo, and Craig were all a little confused, so much so that they completely missed this "Public Hextech Pressure Transporter".

"Come on, all of you, follow me home."

Vandal waved his hand, signaling the frustrated Wei, Boom, Milo, and Craig to come over.

The four of them came over obediently, and then Vander hit each of them on the head.

"Say or not?"

Vander glanced at the four children, Wei, Boom, Milo, and Craig. Boom looked like he was about to cry.

However, even though she was about to cry, Baobao did not say a word. She did not want to speak because once she opened her mouth, she would become a traitor and would be further disliked.

"Craig, you go ahead."

Seeing that none of the four answered, Vander directly named Craig, because Craig was the most honest guy and would not lie, so Vander took the initiative to ask Craig. "

"."

Craig gritted his teeth, feeling very uncomfortable. His expression was still very embarrassed. There was nothing he could do. He really couldn't say that about this matter!

"Okay, okay, your wings are all hard, right?"

Vander smiled, but there was also a bit of helplessness in his expression. These guys, although young, were so loyal. He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

"Everyone follow me."

If asking in this way doesn't work, then we have to try another method. Vander is not stupid. Next, he will ask them one by one, each one, in a separate, closed space.

There is nothing wrong with being loyal, but it also depends on what the matter is. In this kind of matter, Vander feels that there is no need to be loyal, because this kind of thing may kill himself and his friends. The real "loyalty" is to stop everyone from doing it.

In the end, it was Craig who took the initiative to explain to Vander the cause, process, and solution of the incident. He was indeed an honest man, and he also felt that it was a bit unreliable at the beginning, but in the end he did not insist, and chose to accompany everyone to do it together.
