Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 28 The Cooperation Li Ke Wants

After returning to the Lotus Gang's base, Marsson saw Li Ke and immediately came up to him.

Then, he saw Jinx, who had returned to normal on the way and was playing with Issa, and Vi, who was in a state of dismay and depression.

How come Wei has become like this after this trip?
Marson was curious.

Unfortunately, no one would give him an answer, because Li Ke had already walked towards the tent with Jinx and Isa.

Seeing this, Marsan looked at Wei, wanting to ask what happened.

"Wei, you guys—"

"Go away!"

Wei pushed Marsan and rushed to catch up with Li Ke and Jinx, passing Marsan and entering the tent.

"Grass!"

"I thought it was just the past? Can you beat Li Ke? How dare you treat me like this? I'm the boss's man!" Marsson muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction.

The kids in the Black Alley were often beaten by Wei, especially Marsson. He was a troublemaker when he was young and was beaten by Wei many times. Hmm, it seems that Li Ke was also beaten by Wei?

Marsan walked around muttering to himself, and then he saw the pretty girl from Piltover approaching the tent and eavesdropping.

After seeing this, Marsson subconsciously wanted to stop Caitlin, but he remembered what Li Ke said - as long as she didn't run away, she could do whatever she wanted.

Thinking of this, Marsan did not try to stop Caitlin from eavesdropping.

At the same time, in the tent——

Li Ke and Isa sat together, looking at the depressed Vi and Jinx. The two sisters were chatting intermittently, but it was basically Vi who was talking and Jinx was just being perfunctory.

"Um, Jinx, I'm going to go out for a while, you two can have a good chat."

Upon hearing the voice, Wei turned around and gave Li Ke a grateful look. She really needed a chance to be alone with Jinx.

When Isa saw Li Ke standing up, she immediately grabbed Li Ke's hand and babbled twice, indicating that she wanted to go out too.

Isa couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore!
Really weird!
My sister obviously likes that red-haired woman, but why does she treat her like this?
Based on Isa's understanding of her sister, if she was harassed and annoyed by someone else, she would have shot that person to death long ago. Why would she just sit there and listen to the other person talking?

To put it bluntly, it means liking and valuing!
But if you obviously like and value me, why don't you show it?

Little Isa didn't understand, then she cleverly summed it up as - adults are like this, nagging and troublesome.

Li Ke looked at Isa and smiled.

He really liked this little follower that Jinx brought back more and more. He took Isa out of the tent. As soon as Li Ke walked out of the tent, he saw Caitlin sticking her butt out and eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Cough cough." Li Ke made a sound.

Caitlin turned her head quickly, a blush appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of embarrassment. She patted her knees, stood up, looked at Li Ke and said, "Did you see Xierko just now?"

"Ms. Law Enforcement Officer, were you eavesdropping on our conversation just now?"

"I just happened to be passing by." Caitlin looked not very smart and told a stupid lie.

Isa curled her lips and didn't look at the note.

She hates the people Jinx hates.

You see, this is why Isa knew that her sister liked the red-haired woman. Because if the person who was bothering her sister in there was this cop, then Isa would probably have to prepare a white cloth and help her sister collect the cop's body.

"Okay, continue your shopping. I have something else to do. I will send someone to take you back to the upper city in a few days. Please stay here for the next few days." Li Ke said to Caitlin.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't expose her, Caitlin nodded vigorously, stretched out her hand in front of her, and moved her fingers stiffly, as if to say hello.

Li Ke smiled and turned away from Caitlin.

But Isa followed him. Looking down at Isa, Li Ke asked her, "Do you want to follow me?"

Isa was playing with a toy. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the voice, but just stretched out her hand to Li Ke.

Li Ke understood what Isa meant, held Isa’s hand, and said with a smile: “Then you have to follow me closely, the place we are going to is very dangerous.”

In the Fugen Tavern, Hilco sat at the table and drank.

After driving out Sevika and his men, Hilco looked out the window and felt that today's wine tasted particularly bitter.

While drinking, Hilco suddenly smiled, raised his glass and toasted to the distance, saying to himself: "Vander, I'm sorry, brother, I admit that you were right once, of course, only this time."

"Having a daughter is a real worry."

Hilco poured the wine onto the ground. At this moment, a voice rang out from behind him: "Uncle, Father Vander was right not just once, but many times."

Hilco turned around quickly and saw the person coming. He turned his head to look at the window and said, "How did you achieve this change? Is it the technology of the upper city?"

"Do I look like I've installed some kind of technology?"

Li Ke walked into Hilco's room and first put little Isa on the sofa in the room.

Isa became excited as she entered the room because the place was covered with familiar graffiti.

"Yeah!"

She turned around, opened her mouth, looked at Li Ke cutely with her missing tooth, and pointed at a place excitedly.

"Do you mean that the painting here is the same as the one at home?" Li Ke said with a smile.

Isa nodded vigorously.

Li Ke looked at Xierko, who was pouring himself a new drink.

"Is there any juice?" Li Ke suddenly asked Hilco.

"."

Hilco was silent, but after a while he opened the cabinet on his desk and took out a cup with a picture of a monkey painted on it in blue and pink paint, and then took out a bottle of juice.

Really?
Damn, I know you, Hilco, dote on Jinx, but isn’t this a little too much?
Hilco poured a glass of juice, put it on the table and pushed it forward. Li Ke took it and handed it to Isa.

Isha drank the juice and walked around the house, full of curiosity about the place.

This is where my sister lived!

And Li Ke looked at Hilco.

"Li Ke, you have the ability, you should join me. With you here, we can make Zaun independent."

“Autonomy is not only my dream, but also Vandal’s dream.”

"No, this is the dream of every Zaun person."

"This is indeed my dream, but uncle, the way you change everything is too radical in my opinion." Li Ke took the wine that Silko poured for him and shook his head at Silko.

"Besides, I'm not here for you to recruit me, but to discuss a cooperation with you."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, uncle, I want you to stop the flooding of glimmers and control the factories of the alchemy barons so that..."

Hilco waved his hand to interrupt Li Ke's words. He said, "Stop the flooding of glimmer? Do you know why it is called glimmer?"

"Because it is the faint light of the people of Dicheng."

"I admit that the glimmer has indeed hurt many people, but that is their own problem. They have no self-control and used the glimmer in the wrong places. There is no harm in using the glimmer correctly." Hillco said in a deep voice.

As the godfather of Zaun and the mastermind behind all this, he certainly knows what the current situation in Bocheng is, but so what?

Looking at Li Ke, Xierko continued: "Reform requires bloodshed, and sacrifice is inevitable."

"What did Vandel and the police chief get in return for the verbal peace treaty? We were imprisoned in Bottom City, the people of Piltover kept getting more and more aggressive, the mines collapsed, the rivers were polluted, and the air became turbid."

"If this is what you want to talk about, then you can go back, or you can take action."

As Hilco spoke, he extended his hand, which had been hidden under the table, towards a gun under the table.

He would never put his life in the hands of others, even if that person was someone he knew.

Therefore, as early as when Li Ke came in, Hilco was ready to counterattack.

But Li Ke just spread his hands and said:

"No hurries?"

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Come and listen to the cooperation I want, and then it's not too late for you to make a decision."

"Silco."
