Chapter 454 Surrender
"Wincher Spendlaw was killed?"

Sitting in the chair, Hilco frowned. This news was very unexpected. The madman Baron Winchester Spendlaw had his lair blown up in an instant.

"I can't be sure yet, but I'm afraid it's very bad."

Sevica spoke. Sevica was tall, with obvious muscles and fierce eyes. She liked smoking, drinking and gambling. She was the second in command of Silko. In most film, television and game works, this position should be occupied by a man, but there was no sense of incongruity when Sevica stood here.

"The old nest has been blown up. Even if he's not dead, that guy will go completely crazy. Winchester Spendlaw's power is finished."

Hilko swung the dagger in his hand, and one of his eyes was shining. It was an artificial eye, and it was also the proof of his complete break with Vander.

"Are we going to take over the space he left behind?"

Sevika asked. She was very eager to fight and had always been a hardliner, otherwise she would not have stayed by Shilko's side and was so trusted by Shilko that she became the second-in-command.

At the beginning, Sevika also served under Vandel. Later, because she was dissatisfied with Vandel's "weakness" towards the Upper City, she defected to the independent Hilko. Earlier, they were all warriors who resisted the "Upper City" together, so Hilko was naturally happy to accept Sevika.

Many of Hillco's men had followed Vander to conquer the world before, but now they have embarked on completely different paths.

"Of course, it's time for us to show our fangs."

Hilco spun the knife, then clenched it violently, held the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it hard into the table in front of him.

"Buzz!"

The dagger stood still on the table, and Hilco stood up. His eyes turned to a bottle of potion on the table that was emitting a strange light.

"Glimmer" is what Hillco relies on. He will rely on this thing to rule "Zaan". No one can stop him anymore, not even Vandel, and not even those "Alchemy Barons"!

“Is this thing called Hilco really useful?”

Sevika also looked at the "Glimmer Potion" with doubt in her eyes. Is this "Glimmer Potion" really that strong? Moreover, what are the side effects of this thing?
Sevika is sometimes a little indecisive, otherwise she would not have betrayed Vander at the first opportunity. After Vander and Hilco broke up, she followed Vander for a while before defecting to Hilco's side.

When it comes to the matter of the "Glimmer Potion", Sevika is not as decisive as Hilco. She is still hesitating and still in doubt.

But Hilco is different. He doesn't care about the "side effects", the addiction, or the fact that many people will die because of this thing. He is only sure of one thing, that is, this thing can help him fight against "Piltover".

In Hilko's opinion, if Zaun does not overthrow Piltover and if it does not resolutely use force to fight Piltover, then these Zaun people will be no different from dead even if they are alive, and they will just live in a daze.

The difference between Hilko and Vandel lies in this point. One would rather all the "Zauans" die in resistance than let everyone live in a muddle; the other wants everyone to survive first and then consider how to change.

"Don't underestimate the power of technology, Sevika. The glimmer will change Zaun!"

Hilco has great confidence in this "Glimmer Potion" because he has seen the product of using the "Glimmer Potion" and the monster that was strengthened.

With the powerful monster created by the "Glimmer Potion", Hilco felt that no one could stop them from moving forward.

"I hope so."

Seeing that Hilco was so confident, Sevika didn't say anything more.

Sevika is very clear about her own weight. She does not have any outstanding leadership skills and can only be the second-in-command who does the dirty and tiring work. In other matters, she obeys Hilco's arrangements.

"boom!"

Hilko and Sevika were talking when suddenly, a loud noise was heard. This time it did not come from a far distance, but very close, right inside their stronghold.

"what happened?"

Hilco frowned, he had a bad feeling.

"I gonna go see."

Sevika's face also darkened, and she quickly ran out of the room.

Coming outside, Sevika looked annoyed at the chaos outside the factory and yelled and scolded loudly.

"Don't panic! Gather together! Gather together!"

Sevika's loud roar immediately calmed her men down, and they slowly began to gather in Sevika's direction.

"boom!"

The loud noise was heard again, and Sevika could see that the outer gate and many walls of the factory where they were had collapsed.

The underground forces of "Zaan", including gangs and even the base of the "Chemist Baron", are most likely established in abandoned factories, because "Zaan" does not have much else but a lot of abandoned factories of various kinds.

This is indeed due to the contributions of Van der Leyen and Hilko. The last general strike led by them was the fuse of the war. It was just a strike at first, but eventually turned into a war to attack the "Bridge of Progress".

Many of these abandoned factories in "Zuan" were abandoned after that incident. Many "Zuan people" lost their jobs because of it, and many "Zuan people" even lost their families because of it. Without their factory jobs, it is difficult for them to find jobs, and without jobs, they have no way to support their families.

"Who's outside?!"

Looking at the scene of smoke and dust, Sevika asked loudly to the members beside her.

"We don't know! Sevika, we don't know!"

"The door suddenly exploded, and so did the surrounding walls. We had no time to react. Everything happened so fast!"

People kept gathering, but no one knew what was going on.

This made Sevika very anxious. Not only was she anxious, but the other gangsters were also very anxious because they thought of the territory of Baron Winchester Spendlaw that had exploded not long ago. Was it their turn now?

"It's your turn."

In the smoke and dust, Ke Ling walked out, walking with a casual pace, and facing Sevika and her gang, he still had a smile on his face, looking harmless. However, the gang thugs, including Sevika, did not think so, and they looked at Ke Ling with puzzled eyes.

Obviously, they couldn't understand why Ke Ling suddenly came out alone. Wasn't this too much of a disrespect for them?

"who are you?"

Before Sevika and the others made a move, Hilko came out. He waved his hand to stop everyone who was ready to make a move. Hilko looked at Ke Ling with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. He was very curious.

Hilco was curious about who this guy was. Was he related to what happened to Baron Winchester Spenderlaw? If so, why did they do that? And what was the connection with this guy's appearance here?
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I will change Zaun and Piltover, starting with you chem-barons and gangs. Your illegal organizations will be banned."

In response to Hilko's question, Ke Ling answered. His words were very direct, which surprised Hilko, Sevika and others.

"Only by yourself?"

Hilco looked around and found that there was indeed no one else. The smoke and dust had gradually settled. Ke Ling had indeed come alone, and this time he didn't even bring the "Red Rat Baron".

"Although I am capable of doing this by myself, it would be too tiring, so that is definitely not possible. I still have a lot of people under my command who can be used."

Ke Ling smiled. He couldn't manage it all by himself. The main reason was that he didn't want to be in charge. He didn't want to stay in one place all the time to deal with all kinds of complicated affairs. That was not something he was happy to do, so he would recruit people from everywhere and let them be responsible for management.

"If you want, I can save a seat for you."

Ke Ling looked at Hilco and extended an invitation sincerely. To be honest, although Hilco was a little extreme, Ke Ling quite liked this guy. A political system needs people who can maintain stability as well as impulsive and passionate people. This is not a conflict, but should complement each other.

Of Vandel and Hilko, one is responsible for maintaining order in Zaun, being gentle and soft in negotiations, while the other is responsible for constantly creating trouble, causing trouble for Piltover, and fighting.

Don't expect to get at the negotiating table what you can't get on the battlefield. You can't gain peace and respect just by being cowardly and weak. Van der Leyen did shrink too much. He shouldn't have completely abandoned the path of armed struggle.

Vandel has problems, and of course Hilko has problems too. He is at the other extreme, an extreme who will do anything to achieve armed resistance. He doesn't even care about the casualties of "Zauan" or how many "Zauan" people have died.

If these two people can neutralize each other, that would be the right path. To maintain the order of "Zaan" and let everyone live a good life, they must also continue to put pressure on "Piltover", fighting and talking at the same time, until "Piltover" can no longer bear it, and finally "Zaan" can get the desired result.

Of course, this kind of thing is easier said than done. Without ability, perseverance and determination, it is impossible to succeed.

Like Van der Leyen and Hilco, they didn't take the first step well and broke up right away, so naturally there would be no possibility of what happened later.

"Are you joking?"

Hilco's face was stern. This thin man was very serious. Ever since the failure of the Battle of the Bridge of Progress and since the break with Vander, he has been so bitter and resentful.

"Are you kidding? Of course not."

Ke Ling shook his head and stepped forward. Although he was alone, he made Hilko, Sevika and the others nervous.

For some reason, they felt that the person in front of them was like a monstrous beast. Although he was incredibly handsome and pleasing to the eye, he made people feel fear growing in their hearts.

Ke Ling was experimenting. He was experimenting with using the power of his soul to oppress others. His soul strength was so high, so high that it was exaggerated. Just a slight exertion of force was enough to shock ordinary people. Even people with extremely strong minds would be crushed and defeated by him at the soul level.

"Don't resist, because that will only cost you your life."

Walking up to Hilco and looking at the man who was trembling and sweating, Ke Ling spoke slowly.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling retracted his momentum, and Hilko, Sevika and the others suddenly felt lighter, and then they collapsed to the ground with limp bodies.

"Hoohoo!"

Everyone gasped for breath, feeling as if they had walked through hell.

"Zauan and Piltover will become better in my hands."

Ke Ling spoke, and then he looked at Hilco who was sitting on the ground.

"Surrender, or die?"

Hearing Ke Ling's words, Hilco was stunned for a moment, his body still trembling, the trembling from the soul level made it difficult for him to suppress it. He forced himself to turn his head and look at his subordinates. At this time, their eyes were full of fear.

Even Sevika's eyes were full of fear when she looked at Ke Ling. But when she saw Hilko looking at her, her eyes turned into pleading. Not only Sevika, but everyone else felt the same.

Facing Ke Ling, they no longer had any desire to resist. These most determined and toughest "rebels" softened at this moment. They did not dare to resist or disobey Ke Ling.

"Will you make Zaun equal to Piltover?"

Hilco turned around and asked Ke Ling.

I have to say that this guy Hilco is indeed determined. Even at this time, he can still ask this question.

"I treat Zaun and Piltover equally."

Ke Ling answered that in his eyes, "Piltover" would certainly no longer be the superior ones, he would give them equality.

To put it in a sentence that can be applied for World Heritage status, Ke Ling came to Piltover for only three things: fairness! Fairness! And damn fairness!

"I am willing to submit to you."

After getting Ke Ling's answer, Hilco spoke.

For Hilko, making "Zauan" better and allowing "Zauan" and "Piltover" to stand together on an equal footing is his lifelong pursuit. In the past, he could stand behind Vandel, and now of course he can also surrender to Ke Ling.

As long as the man in front of him can achieve his goal, Hilco doesn't mind working for this man. Just like before he broke up with Vander, he was trying to persuade Vander to continue fighting. If Vander continued to fight, he would continue to stand behind Vander.
