Chapter 447 Destiny Guidance
"Wei, Boom, Milo, Craig, do you know what you are about to do?"

After learning what the children were going to do, Vander gathered them together again and started a serious conversation with them.

"of course I know."

Wei answered. It was obvious that the young Wei Aole had not experienced any beatings. She still maintained a fearless spirit, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

“Do you think this is cool?”

Staring at the stubborn Xiao Wei, Fandel spoke earnestly.

As a leader who once led the miners of Zaun to resist Piltover, Vandal can actually understand the thoughts of children like Wei, Boom, Milo, and Craig.

The children of Zaun are proud of being able to humiliate the people of Piltover. They do not think it is a sin to steal from the rich people of Piltover, and even stealing from the rich people of Zaun is not a sin.

Because they all understand that those rich people, whether they are the rich in Zaun or the rich in Piltover, are not on their side. They are not the same kind of people at all, and those rich people will not have any sympathy for them.

how to say?

"Zauans", "Piltowerians" and "Zauan rich people" are three types of people.

The "People of Piltover" look down on the "Zauans", including the "rich people of Zaun". They think that the "rich people of Zaun" are nothing but rats, not worthy of sitting at the same table with them, and not worthy of living under the sunshine of "Piltover".

The "Zauan rich" look down on other "Zauans", treating them only as consumables and tools to make profits, but at the same time, they try hard to make themselves look like "Piltover people" and actively participate in various "Piltover" activities, hoping to fit in.

As for the "Zuan people", they have either been completely crushed by the hopeless life or become numb, like walking corpses.

Or they try hard to climb up and want to get the opportunity to live and work in "Piltover" through personal efforts, but there are very few such people, because the identity of "Zauans" is the biggest obstacle, which is enough to make 99% of the positions pass them at the first step.

Finally, the majority will develop a rebellious spirit. They don't want to sink into a muddle-headed state, and they are fed up with working hard but not being able to get a stage to display their abilities.

They took up arms and joined the resistance, fighting with the Alchemist Baron and the Piltover Enforcers. They challenged the rich and wanted to change the existing order. They wanted Zaun to have a truly equal status with Piltover instead of being a garbage disposal plant.

Vandal was once one of them and their leader. He and Hilko were like the "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Zaun", and they launched the largest uprising in the history of "Zauan" and "Piltover". Benso, Wei and Baobao's parents were all backbones.

But the uprising ultimately failed and many people died.

Vandal also changed. He had a disagreement with Hilko and almost killed Hilko. Hilko insisted on "fighting violence with violence" and advocated continuing to fight, so the two turned against each other. Vandal tried to kill Hilko but failed, causing the latter's right eye to be corroded by Zaun's poisonous water. The two basically broke off their relationship.

Vandal retired from criminal activities and became the leader of "Black Alley". Vandal managed "Zaan" with non-violent means. He protected many people with his own methods. Although he no longer resisted violently, he was still a hero in the hearts of many grassroots people. After his death, the people of "Zaan" erected a statue for him.

"Shouldn't I feel cool?"

Wei stiffened her neck, still very determined. She certainly wouldn't foresee that there was anything wrong with what she was doing until things went wrong.

"."

Unlike Vi, Boom, Milo and Craig all shrank their necks, not daring to look at Vander. At the same time, they were also very worried about big sister Vi. There was really no need to confront Vander!
Fandel had a complicated expression, and his feelings towards Wei were also very complicated.

Vi's full name is "Viola", which was given by Fandel. It comes from the Zaun proverb "riverbed and blisters", which means "to find a way out for the city, even if your hands are covered with blisters."

When this name was given, Vander had not yet retired and Hilco was still there. They were still close comrades-in-arms, and the name Violet represented their ambitions.

But now, Vandel hopes that Wei can be more obedient. He has already given up, and naturally does not want Wei to be involved again.

"Zuan" has made enough sacrifices, and the next generation should not wade into this muddy water again. They just need to live well. Maybe he cannot change "Zuan", but he can at least fulfill his promise to his old friends and take good care of Wei and Baobao. At least he can provide Wei and Baobao with a safe life.

Unfortunately, Wei has never been a quiet person since she was a child. She likes boxing and is very talented. She has a distinct personality, leadership skills, and strong execution ability. She has been the leader among children since she was a child, and the other children are all very respectful to her.

Moreover, this child has a very distinct "Zaan" personality. Her rebellious spirit has been revealed from the inside out since she was a child. This child is obviously disobedient and has considerable hostility towards the rich people of "Piltover".

Fandel was very troubled by this. He thought it might be because Wei had already remembered everything when the "Battle of the Bridge of Progress" took place. Even if she didn't remember it very clearly, everything that happened before was deeply imprinted on her because of the death of her parents.

Compared to Wei, Baobao was less affected because she was too young when all that happened. She was basically not affected much. She followed along to do things simply because she liked following her sister Wei. She didn't want to be left behind all the time and she hoped that she could be useful.

"Wei, have you ever thought about the consequences of failure? Do you want to kill Bomb? Do you want to kill Milo? Do you want to kill Craig? Aren't they important to you? Not as important as stealing things in Upper City? Are you so short of money? What do you want the money for? Even at the cost of risking your family's lives?"

Seeing Wei's stubborn expression, Fandel spoke seriously.

This time, his words were a little harsher, but they were very sincere.

In fact, this is the reason why he gave up the fight. He didn't want to lose more family members and friends, nor did he want more "Zuan people" to lose family members and friends.

Whether he was called weak or a deserter, Vander didn't care. He just wanted his family to live in safety.

To this end, he worked hard to balance the relationship between the two cities. Through negotiations, he reached a tacit understanding with the Sheriff of Piltover, avoided greater conflicts, and allowed "Zaan" to gain a certain degree of order.

The failure of their struggle has proved that the path of violence is a dead end. Until a real turning point comes, Vander believes that maintaining the current order is the best outcome.

"I"

Fandel's question left Wei unable to answer for a moment.

Of course, she couldn't accept the result that Bomb, Milo, and Craig all died because of this, but she was also a little indignant. They were not that weak, they would succeed, there was nothing to be afraid of those "Ladies of Piltover", and those law enforcement officers were so stupid that they couldn't catch them at all, so they would not die because of this.

"You can't convince them just by talking."

When the atmosphere between Fandel and Wei became awkward, a voice interrupted, which startled the four children.

"How did you get in?!"

Vander was the first to react. He took a boxing stance and quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from.

This voice was not unfamiliar. After all, everyone had just seen it during the day. Moreover, with Ke Ling's high charm, as long as they had met and communicated with each other, it would be difficult for people to forget it in a short period of time. "As you can see, this is how he came in."

Ke Ling's figure completely emerged from the "Shadow Gate", and he had already left marks on Fandel, Wei, and Baobao.

"It's that strange man during the day!"

Seeing Ke Ling, Wei and Baobao were also surprised. They looked at Fandel in confusion, somewhat confused about the situation.

"What are you going to do?!"

Fandel stepped forward and protected all four children behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Vandel! Is he an enemy?!"

Wei, who was being protected behind, reacted. She didn't want to be protected behind her. If this man was an enemy, she could also fight!
"Back off!"

Vander roared, signaling the little guys not to come forward. Now was not the time to show off. The strange man in front of him was very dangerous. This was what Vander's intuition told him. This man was very scary. Just standing in front of this man, he felt like he would die at any time.

"Don't be nervous. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ke Ling. As you can see, I am a wizard from a very far away place."

Ke Ling had a smile on his face. He waved his hand and shadows danced wildly as if they had life. They quickly surrounded the entire tavern. Everything was wrapped in shadows and darkness enveloped everything.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Baobao was frightened and hugged his sister Wei tightly.

"Don't be afraid! Baobao! I'm here! Fandel! Milo! Craig! Are you all okay?!"

In the darkness, Wei hugged her sister Baobao and shouted loudly.

However, before anyone could answer, the tide of shadows quickly receded, and the lights of the tavern once again illuminated the world before their eyes.

"Is everything alright?!"

Vander looked at the four children anxiously, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're fine, Fandel, what was that just now?!"

Wei, Baobao, Milo and Craig were all fine. They just looked shocked and confused about what had just happened.

"magic."

Vander, who was relieved, was also shocked. He looked at Ke Ling, that very handsome man who possessed such terrifying power. His intuition was indeed correct. If the other party wanted to, killing them would be a piece of cake.

"Sit down, let's chat."

Ke Ling strolled leisurely, sat down at the bar, then looked at a few people with a smile. He knew that now these people could talk to him calmly and would not have any extra thoughts. After all, he had proved one thing with his strength, that is, they had no resistance in front of him.

"Mr. Ke Ling, why did you come to Zaun?"

Sitting down with the four children, Vander indeed became respectful. He spoke with some doubt, curious about Ke Ling's purpose of coming. What attracted such a powerful mage to come to "Zaan"?
“It’s destiny’s guidance.”

Ke Ling spoke, but this answer obviously confused Vander.

"Guess why I asked you to stop them."

Ke Ling ignored Vander's constipated expression and continued speaking.

"You knew I was following you, so you deliberately let me find Wei and Baobao?"

Vander was a little surprised, but his reaction surprised Ke Ling instead.

"You don't think you're very good at tracking, do you?"

Ke Ling asked back with a helpless look on his face, and his words made Vander, Wei, Baobao, Milo, and Craig feel a little embarrassed.

Vander didn't expect that his tracking skills were so poor, while Wei, Baobao, Milo, and Craig were embarrassed that they didn't find Vander. They could be said to have met their match, a general meeting a good talent, a dragon and a phoenix, and the newbies were pecking at each other fiercely.

"Why are you stopping us? We're just going uptown to steal something."

Besides feeling embarrassed, Wei was also very curious. She really couldn't understand. They were just going to the upper city to steal something, which was really not a big deal in "Zuan".

"What else do you know? Whose things did you steal?"

Speaking of this, Fandel spoke unhappily.

These kids didn't do any research before taking action. They were ready to set off as soon as they got the news. It was indeed a bit too reckless.

"Whose? It belongs to a rich man anyway."

Wei really didn't know. She knew that those were the things of the "rich people in Piltover", so she could steal them. No matter who they belonged to, they were all obtained by exploiting the people of Undercity.

"The Gilaman family is one of the oldest and most influential families in Piltover. They have accumulated a large fortune through successful trade. They are deeply involved in Piltover's trade, commerce, and politics. They own a large fleet and have great influence on the law enforcers."

Speaking of the Gilaman family, Vander's expression was not so ugly. This family was actually considered moderate among the major business families in "Piltover". They also wanted order and stability, so they would make some compromises for the sake of order and stability and meet some requirements of "Zaan".

Although they are still oppressors and class enemies, they are not such extreme enemies.
