Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 42 Traitor
"Clap!"

"Click!"

The firelight flickered and danced. In a dim corner of the casino, a tall man sat at a table. His thin face was covered with tattoos. Under the striped tattoos, there was a tattoo at the corner of his eye that looked like a teardrop or a hanging sword.

The metal covered his entire chin, making it look like an "iron chin". At this moment, he was looking at the flickering lighter in his hand with a gloomy and uncertain look, and standing behind him was his confidant.

"Hilco summoned all the barons, but he forgot whether you were the only one..." The confidant hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but speak.

"Click!"

The lighter closed, and the flame disappeared. The man held his forehead with one hand. He had long hair on one side, and a very punk style. Hearing the voice, he said, "No, although they know my intention, they will never betray me. After all, they hated Hilco as much as I did in the last meeting."

"Why is it that we all work together and help him build big business, but we can only share the little wealth that flows out of his fingers? Just because he is so blind that he wants to rebel? Damn it, he can't even discipline his own men, why should he lead us to suppress the people in the upper city?" Finn said in a deep voice.

"Everyone has long been dissatisfied with him, and Zaun no longer needs him."

"Clap!"

When the flame appeared, the lighter in Finn's hand was dancing like an elf. His fingers were nimble in playing with the lighter. He picked up the small pot on the table and then directed the flame to the bottom of the pot to burn it.

"Could it be Sevika? After all, when the meeting was suddenly called, Hilco excluded you alone. He must have known something."

"That's even more impossible." Finn sneered and shrugged. The yellow coat on his shoulders shook twice. He said in a deep voice: "Sevika's dissatisfaction with Hilco is no less than the rest of us. She was able to break up with Vander and pull Vander down because of his weakness. So now..."

"But she didn't agree." The subordinate couldn't help but say.

Last time, Finn privately invited Sevica to be his guest, told Sevica his request, and even lit a cigarette for Sevica personally, but until today, Sevica has not given Finn a definite answer.

This inevitably led Finn's confidants to believe that it was Sevika who informed Hilco.

Finn listened, smiled, put down the kettle in his hand, switched the lighter to his other hand and played with it, and said, "Sometimes, not answering is a kind of agreement."

"Silco"

"He has blocked too many people's financial paths. His time has passed. That old man should have abdicated long ago. There are many people who are more capable, visionary, and ambitious than him. Does he still think he is the same person he used to be? Ever since he raised that blue-haired monster, he has become a different person. He has become weak and pitiful."

The men looked at Finn's confident look and showed excitement on their faces.

Finn's confident and high-spirited look made him wonder what kind of benefits and status he would get after Finn came to power.

Finn sneered and slammed his lighter shut. "He's not going to die anytime soon."

"Boom!"

There was a sudden loud noise, and dust and debris fell off the wall. Finn, who was interrupted, felt his ears hurt and subconsciously covered them. After he was a little more sober, he immediately picked up the lighter on the table, played with it with his fingers, stood up and walked quickly to the door.

Reaching out and pushing open the small door, Finn's face was filled with anger.

"Who the hell dares to come to my place, cough, cough!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Finn started coughing violently, covering his face, tears streaming down his cheeks as he looked at his casino.

The power of the casino was cut off, and the entire casino was dark. Only a few oil lamps were burning and shining, illuminating some places. Blue and pink smoke converged together, forming a big evil smiling face. The guests in the casino scattered in the smoke, and his men also fell into chaos.

"Who, who is it——"

Finn said while coughing, his lungs felt as if they were burned by flames. The irritating gas he inhaled through his mouth and nose made his consciousness begin to become chaotic. He straightened up with difficulty and looked forward.

A group of figures appeared in the shadows, accompanied by screams. Finn's men began to fall down, become unconscious, and lose limbs and hands.

He picked up the lighter, turned on the light, and tried to use the light to see what was happening.

A voice also sounded.

"We found him! The guy the boss mentioned who loves playing with lighters!"

"Over here! People who like to play with lighters are over here!"

"Big sister, hurry up!"

The flames flickered, and Finn spotted a group of people walking towards him. Under the smoke of smiling faces, faint lights were shining on their bodies. Were those lights various strange patterns?

Like petals, there are also monkey and cat graphics.

The strange blue and pink smoke and the fluorescent graffiti made Finn suddenly think of something.

Startled, Finn threw away the lighter in an instant, then lowered his head, hid himself, turned the corner and started running.

This... This must be Jinx's work!

In the entire Zaun, only weapons made by her are of this style!
Oh shit!

Hilco, attacked him?!

why? !

By attacking me, isn't he afraid that the other barons will be more upset and have a bigger problem with him? !
Didn’t he get enough from the last meeting?!
Finn panicked for a moment.

He completely forgot how he looked down on and bullied Hillco in the small room just now.

"Boss!" His confidant also rushed out and stood where Finn was originally.

Finn turned his head subconsciously and saw his confidant's body shake and fall to the ground with a "bang". This made Finn more eager to escape. In the darkness, taking advantage of the chaos created by the gamblers' escape, Finn found an opportunity and crawled to a place.

There are exclusive alleys in this casino that only he knows about.

Reaching the corner, Finn pressed a button hard, and the floor cracked, splitting to reveal a passage. Finn quickly ran in.

Then, he quickly left the casino along the path.

Coughing continuously, Finn successfully escaped. Looking at the dark casino, a hint of hatred appeared on his face.

Hilco.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to go to other alchemy barons and tell them what Hilco had done to him.

The Alchemy Barons must unite!
But after staggering a few steps, Finn heard a voice coming from the front.

"Heh, it's just as Xierko thought. A guy like you will definitely prepare an escape route for yourself."

Finn looked up in horror and saw a tall figure walking out from the shadows of the alley ahead.

Getting closer, and then Finn saw her face clearly.

"Sevica, you betrayed me?" Finn looked at Sevica with a dark face.

Sevika shook her head. "I didn't even agree to cooperate with you, so how can it be considered betrayal?"

"By the way, Finn, where's your lighter?" Sevika suddenly asked for no reason.

Finn was stunned, not knowing what Sevika meant by this.

"It's gone? What a pity." Sevika frowned and said softly, "I quite like your lighter."

"You know, last time you were playing with the lighter on my face, I really wanted to take your head off, but I couldn't because Hilco wasn't going to touch you. He chose to keep you and give you another chance. It's all Jinx's fault. He became weak and actually believed that you would change. Ha."

"But this time it was different, he was determined to make some changes."

"No, you can't kill me! Sevika, sister, sister! Hilco is no longer able to do it. Yes, Jinx, you know better than the rest of us how many bad things he has done for Jinx, don't you? He has always asked you to clean up the mess for that damn girl. You are the second in command of Zaun, and I, I will let all the barons help you. I will help you become the number one in Zaun!"

Finn stepped back, raising his hand and shouting, "Don't you want to be the boss of Zaun? I don't want that position anymore. It's yours, sister. You have the ability. The people of Hilco believe in you. You should be their boss, right?"

"Business, territory, everything is done by you, and everything about him is done by you! That guy can only give you orders with his mouth, other than that, he can't do anything else! We don't have to obey him!"

Sevika slowly approached Finn with a calm expression on her face: "Finn, you were not like this the last time you were in front of me. Now, you look like a dead dog."

"Tell me, why do people change so much in the face of death?"

Sevika looked a little dazed.

She suddenly remembered that night many years ago.

Vandel put on a pair of boxing gloves and faced the monster head-on, fearless of life or death.

At this moment, Sevika suddenly felt a little regretful.

Maybe Vandal is really good.

At least, he wouldn't be like Finn, who turned into his current face in the face of death.

"Listen to me, Sevika, listen to me—"

Shaking her head, Sevica put aside all distracting thoughts. Then, she took a step forward, quickened her pace, approached Finn and raised her left arm. The alchemical limb emerged from the cloak, and in the night, Sevica raised her arm.

"no, do not want!"

"Don't come over here!" Finn screamed.

"Finn, Hilco asked me to bring you a message--"

"You know what? The reason you can have your current status and walk out of the dark mine is not because you have military strength or wisdom."

"He never thought you could help him with anything. There was only one thing he needed you to do, but you couldn't do it. You really disappointed him, Finn."

"You have forgotten who gave you status, you have forgotten who gave you wealth."

"You forget the reason why Zaun was able to develop into what it is today despite the oppression of Piltover."

"You forgot loyalty!"

Sevika had a cold expression and raised his left limb.

"He said, don't go too fast, wait for him in hell, he will be waiting for your revenge!"

He swung his arm down, and under the purple light, blood sprayed into the sky and onto Sevika's indifferent face.

"traitor."
