Me? The director of the Asylum of All Heavens!

Chapter 29 The Beginning of the Battle of the Twin Cities

"Hilko, what tricks are you going to play now?" The veteran alchemy baron Renni could no longer sit still and slammed the table and stood up.

It's no wonder that she is so nervous. In the last meeting, Hilco also held a box with several poison masks in it, and then asked his men to release the poison gas.

This scene was too similar, and everyone was panicked.

"Calm down, calm down, Renni." Hilco raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.

"I know you are all not satisfied with the current situation in Dicheng, but I am holding this meeting to tell you a piece of good news..."

"…This is extremely good news."

Hilco kept it a secret and stroked the box.

He still wanted to test who had the greatest objections to him.

Last time, Finn and Rennie from the Alchemist Baron were the first ones to lose their patience. This time, Finn is not here, and as expected, Rennie is the first to step forward. I wonder which small and medium-sized forces are willing to be the first to step forward.

Babette lowered her head, not daring to speak, but she glanced at the other forces present.

Smith, Margo and Cross, the three alchemy baron giants, had just been disciplined by Hilco at the last meeting and chose to remain silent. Instead, the leaders of some small and medium-sized forces were in a state of anxiety.

The gambling house owner she was familiar with was obviously Smith's man. Now he seemed to be firmly on Hilco's side, holding his head high and observing the people around him with a little scrutiny.

Most people were very cooperative with Hillco, and even a few dissatisfied leaders of small forces dared not speak out.

The leader of a small force who seemed to be in charge of part of the fishing, transportation and smuggling business at the dock was looking at Hilco with fiery eyes.

His business suffered the most damage, but most of the dock area was occupied by Hilco. His power was too weak and he had no qualifications to challenge Hilco, so he could only choose to swallow his anger.

"What other good news can there be? Where did Jinx die? You promised that she would solve the border problem. Was yesterday's explosion her solution? Because of what she did, Piltover has completely blocked us. Now we are isolated!" Renni expressed her dissatisfaction loudly.

Hilco smiled and opened the box.

"Don't worry, I've found Jinx, and this is the good news she brought me. With her, all problems will be solved."

Inside the box was the fishbone rocket invented by Jinx.

Lin Zhizhi was stunned. Isn't this the weapon that Jinx used to blow up the parliament? How could it appear in Hilco's hands so early?
Jinx is really back? Fortunately, I came with Babette to attend this meeting, otherwise my trip to Piltover would have been in vain.

"Huh, what is this? A toy water gun? Are you going to use it against the law enforcement officer?" The leader of the small force who was in charge of part of the dock business finally couldn't help but retort.

Hilco ignored his sarcasm and sneered, saying:
"This is a groundbreaking invention, a weapon that can equalize our military strength with that of Piltover - the Hextech Rocket Launcher."

As Hilco spoke, he activated the fishbone rocket. A blue light flashed, and the shark seemed to come alive, with blue light in its eyes and electricity surging in its mouth.

"It could be fired from here into Piltover, and it would be powerful enough to blow up the entire Piltover Senate building."

The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's hair stood on end, except Lin Zizhi.

Lin knew that without the Hex Crystal, this thing was just a decoration. But the sight of it being activated was enough to scare these ignorant idiots.

"I think you all know that the Upper City lost something some time ago, a gem, and the Upper City was crazy about finding it back. But have you ever thought about why it is so important? Is it worth it for the Upper City to block the border? What's more, what's the point of blocking the border if the thing has been lost?"

Hilco turned off the fishbone rocket launcher, put his hands on the table and spoke seriously.

"Let me tell you now. The reason why Upper City blocked the border is because they were afraid. They were afraid that we would use the stolen crystal to invent weapons against them. And now, their fear has come true!"

……

The other side of Zaun.

Barrels of glimmering potion were loaded onto trains and driven out of the factory. The porters could finally take a break and smoke a cigarette.

Suddenly a gun was put to his head.

Soon the law enforcement team stopped the train and turned towards the alchemy factory.

Everyone was ready to get down to business, but a quarrel was heard at the connection between the carriages.

"You hid such an important matter as coming to Piltover from me! Damn it, wait until this is over, and see how I'll deal with you!"

Wei got angry when she saw Ike. If she wasn't wearing the Hextech gloves, she really wanted to punch Ike in the face.

Now that the war was imminent, she could only suppress her eagerness to find Baobao and concentrate on dealing with the problem at hand.

Ike knew he was in the wrong, so he quietly debugged his new invention, the time warper.

This thing can create a deceleration force field, or it can be thrown out to distort the enemy's world.

Vi clenched her fists together with her massive hextech gloves and stretched her neck to warm up.

……

At this time in the Zaun meeting.

"That's impossible! Hextech gems are not stable enough to be used to make weapons!" Ren Ni retorted.

"What they lost was Hextech Crystal, an artificial crystal that is more stable than Hextech Gem. With it, combined with a certain amount of knowledge, you can make all kinds of Hextech equipment, including Hextech weapons."

Silk said as he threw out the Jace notebook that Jinx had stolen.

He pointed to the sketches of the Hextech fists and the Hextech hammer and showed them to the Zaun forces present.

"You should have seen the wonders of Hextech. Over the years, the Upper City has relied on it to invent the Hextech Flying Gate to connect the world. They were once ahead of us in technology, and now they have the technology to make Hextech weapons. Maybe one day, we will return to the days when law enforcement officers stepped into Zaun unscrupulously and enforced the law arrogantly." ...

On the other side is the Weiguang production factory.

The speeding train crashed into the locked gate of the factory at high speed, and the powerful kinetic energy easily broke the gate.

Sparks flew from the rails and there was a sharp sound of brakes.

Ike flew out of the train with countless Wildfire Gang members on flying skateboards.

Teams of law enforcement officers also jumped off the train, catching the Hilco factory personnel off guard.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Action!"

"Fuck me!"

"do not move!"

With the cooperation of the Wildfire Gang, the armed law enforcement officers quickly controlled the factory workers at the door.

Lloyd Folger mixed in with the law enforcement officers. He tried hard to find an opportunity to contact Ike to ask about Jinx's whereabouts.

At this time, Jayce jumped off the train first, weighing his huge Hextech hammer with a firm look.

Vi and Caitlyn followed closely behind.

……

at the meeting.

The Zaun forces present looked at the notes in disbelief and discussed the matter.

"But don't worry. I had Jinx steal the Hexstone just to prevent Piltover from monopolizing this technology. Now her research has finally made a breakthrough, and she has successfully invented the first Hextech weapon that belongs to Zaun. This gives us the power to fight against the Upper City, but in return Piltover will definitely do more to prevent us from owning this technology. The worst possible scenario is that they may go to war with us because of this."

Hilco first gave a sweet treat, and then hit everyone present with a big stick.

"Are you saying that Piltover will declare war on us?" The half-Yordle Alchemy Baron Smitch, who looked like a sewer rat, was stunned.

The other alchemy barons were also talking about it.

"Once weapons are made, they will naturally come in handy. They invented so many Hextech weapons not out of a simple and beautiful desire to improve the livelihood of the people in Bottom City. Otherwise, why didn't they announce the results of this research in the speech on Evolution Day?"

"Why are they hiding this? Think about it carefully."

Hilco tapped on the conference table and instigated that this was the main purpose of his meeting, to incite the confrontational sentiments of the entire Zaun forces and to make preparations for the upcoming Battle of the Two Cities.

If possible, Hilco did not want to go to war, but he knew that the guys in the upper city only understood extreme language. If he wanted to fight for peace, he could only become the embodiment of their fear.

But he didn't know that the war had already begun.

……

At this time, there was chaos in the Weiguang Factory.

"Stand still with your hands raised!"

"be honest!"

A law enforcement officer violently knocked out a factory worker who had rendered defenseless before him, venting his violence and anger without restraint.

The Wildfire Gang was a little more restrained. They had absolute superiority in the air, and they raided key locations on every floor. They then threw their crystal eggs, which could instantly grow yellow crystals, at the dangerous elements among them.

The crystal explosion eggs began to grow wildly when they hit the ground, quickly covering the entire body of the target person, trapping them on the wall or the ground, unable to move.

"Is this also your invention? If you were my opponent in the Outstanding Innovator Invention Competition, I might not even win the gold medal." Jace looked at Ike with admiration.

"This thing is only effective for five minutes. You'd better let your law enforcement officers take control of the scene quickly." Ike took out a pocket watch and said while counting the time.

"Everyone stop!"

"Don't move!"

"You are surrounded!"

The law enforcement officer's snipers quickly seized the advantageous high ground. Each team had a clear division of labor and quickly surrounded the factory workers.

"Stop."

"Stand still!"

Maybe it was because he was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, but one of the law enforcement officers immediately took notice of a little boy with red hair and freckles on his face.

Not only did they roughly turn him over, they also handcuffed his hands.

The child struggled hard and suddenly saw the emergency button in front of him.

He is the son of the alchemist baron Renni, and was sent to the factory to gain experience and gild his skills. Compared to other Zaun people who are just trying to make a living, he is obviously more concerned about the glimmering business of the Bottom City gang.

He struggled to break free, rushed over and pressed the emergency button.

The next second he was pressed against the wall by the law enforcement officer who arrived, but a shrill alarm sounded throughout the factory.
