Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 49: Piltover Pressure
When Wei returned to the ditch and arrived home, this is what he saw:

Li Ke, wearing a strange hat and a pair of large cat ears, stood in front of a pile of kitchen utensils. He was wearing a gray woolen sweater and had his sleeves rolled up. He was cutting meat on the chopping board, with a large pendant hanging behind him.

Jinx hung on Li Ke's back like a doll, holding vegetables and fruits in her hands. Under Li Ke's instructions, she would pass the fruits to Isa beside her. Little Isa was wearing slippers that were too big for her feet and ran back and forth in the room. She was very busy, but no one knew what she was busy with.

It looks like he is helping to wash the vegetables?

"Hu——" Wei let out a breath and put one hand on her waist as she watched the scene.

How should I put it? Until today, Wei is still jealous of Li Ke. She is jealous of Jinx's attitude towards Li Ke. The relationship between the sisters has also eased during this period, but to be honest, Jinx's dependence on Li Ke is getting stronger and stronger, because although Jinx's attitude towards Wei was not good at the beginning, her eyes and attention were always on Wei.

Wei could sense that she had a heart that was inconsistent with her appearance. She seemed strong and tough, but in fact, Wei had a soft heart and could sense other people's emotions and attitudes.

Because of this, Wei is jealous of Li Ke.

The only thing about Baobao was that she was jealous of Li Ke for taking her away from her.

As she was thinking, Wei heard the voices of Li Ke and Jinx.

"Give me a bite."

"It's a little hot."

"Then you blow it."

"it is good."

"Wow, it's bland, let me add the seasoning! Let me do it, I want to add this!"

Wei: “.”

Well, she suddenly wasn't so unhappy anymore. At least, Li Ke was really good to Baobao.

"You still have time to cook? Something big happened in Piltover."

Vi made a sound and both Li Ke and Jinx turned to look at her.

Jinx jumped off Li Ke's back and trotted over to Wei, looking at her as she held out her hand: "Where are the materials I need?"

"They have all been placed in your laboratory." Wei smiled at Jinx.

Jinx nodded and looked at Wei, her eyebrows suddenly frowned, then she took two steps forward and got close to Wei, sniffing her body like a puppy. After a moment, she sneered and took a step back.

Spreading her hands in surrender, raising her legs and taking a step back, Jinx spoke:
"I know this smell. It comes from that ridiculously tall woman with legs as long and thin as chopsticks."

Wei: “.”

"I just said a few words to her, Jinx." Wei said quickly.

"Ha, don't explain to me, I don't care." Jinx turned around and said as she walked away: "I don't have time to care about your interpersonal relationships. Who you want to make friends with is your business, but don't bring that note to me, otherwise, you will hate me. I think you should understand what I mean."

"Jinx, Caitlyn is a good person. She's not as bad as you think."

"Sister~ She came all the way here to catch me. She's a good person? So you mean that I'm a bad person because I was caught by her?"

"Hey, Isa, am I a bad guy?" Jinx looked at Isa who had run over to help her.

Issa is an unconditional supporter of Jinx. In her darkest moments, it was Jinx who illuminated her heart. To her, Jinx is a friend to play with, a caring sister, and a mother who takes care of her.

Therefore, Isa immediately shook her head and looked at Wei angrily.

"So, what happened?" Li Ke leaned against the kitchen counter with his hands on the table and looked at Wei.

Wei swallowed the words she wanted to explain to Jinx, looked at Li Ke, and said:
"The Noxians are coming. Caitlyn told me. She asked us not to go to Piltover recently to avoid causing disputes."

Li Ke nodded.

"Wait, why don't you look surprised?" Wei looked at Li Ke's calm expression and spoke.

She was very surprised when she learned about this. That's Noxus, the most powerful country in this land. If they come to Piltover, then Zaun will be affected to some extent, right?

Although it is satisfying to see the Piltovers get humiliated, it would not be a good thing if Zaun was affected by it.

"Do you think there is a possibility that I am more informed than you?" Li Ke looked at Wei with amusement and said.

He turned around and started cutting vegetables, preparing today's dinner.

Compared with eating out, Li Ke now prefers to cook his own food. After all, he is rich now and can afford meat and seasonings, so of course his quality of life should be improved.

He really didn't want to eat the meat of the magic frog anymore.

While cooking, Li Ke was thinking. The plot has changed a lot since the day he met Jinx. The gears started turning, and everything was different from the situation in the Two Cities War.

Not to mention that the Lotus Gang now controls two communities in Zaun. After merging with the Wildfire Gang, the Lotus Gang has become the second largest force in Zaun!

But there will still be no difference in some aspects?

For example, Mel's mother attempted to take advantage of Piltover. It was not difficult to guess what the iron-blooded soldier was thinking, but what excuse would she use to intervene in the Piltover parliament?
How will she seize power?

Li Ke began to think.

"Li Ke!"

Just then, a man rushed into the house.

Li Ke turned around and was a little surprised to see Sevika.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Sevika looked at Li Ke, who was wiping his hands and walking towards him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and found that this brat was even more handsome. He said, "Silco asked me to pass on a message."

"Piltover is planning to take action to clean up Zaun. Hundreds of law enforcement teams are gathering and preparing to come to the lower city to enforce the law in a few days. He has already hidden the Shimmer Industries and warned other alchemy barons not to show up at this time. As for you, Li Ke, you will be in trouble."

Sevika's eyes suddenly became complicated.

She suddenly realized that what Li Ke did was really different from what she and her group did.

All along, Sevika believed that he was helping Hilco and was carrying the banner of Zaun to revive Zaun. But now, when the cops from the upper city came down, Hilco's faction had to hide because there were too many shady businesses that could not be discovered by law enforcement officers.

They can just hide, but what about the ordinary people in Zaun?
Law enforcement officers do not know what gentleness is when they are searching and inspecting. Violent law enforcement is not impossible. No, it should be said that it is bound to happen.

As for Li Ke, the two communities under his control will become the focus of observation after the law enforcement officers arrive.

Because only Li Ke's Lotus Gang is still in the spotlight.

"Search and inspection?" Li Ke frowned.

In the original novel, Hilco came into direct conflict with Piltover, and the power of the Glimmer Cyborg made Upper City panic. But... now that the cops are coming, Hilco wants to hide?

This is wrong!

Is there any surprise?

Li Ke stroked his chin and thought.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Jinx.

Oh shit
The reason is found!
In the original plot, Jinx stole the Hextech Gems and Jayce's manuscripts and developed Hextech weapons by herself, so Hilco felt that he could have a showdown with Upper City.

The weapons developed by Jinx gave Hilco confidence.

Whatever the Upper City has, we have too. Whatever the Upper City doesn’t have, we also have!

But what about here?

There is only a glimmer of light in Silko, because the day Jinx ran away from home, it was Silko that forced her to make weapons, causing her to lose mental control and escape from Silko, and then... she met Li Ke.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jinx noticed Li Ke's gaze. She was standing on a stool and eating snacks secretly, with her head tilted and a greasy stain next to her red lips.

"I understand. Please tell Hilco for me that the Lotus Gang will not hide." Li Ke looked at Sevika and said.

"Okay." Sevika looked at Li Ke and nodded.

She suddenly reached out and patted Li Ke's shoulder, but said nothing and just turned and left.

"Wei, go and call Marson and Scar over for me."

Wei did not have any negative emotions towards Li Ke's instructions. She also knew that this was a big deal and she could not afford to throw a tantrum.

Nodding, she ran out of the house.

"Then let's see if I'm right."

Li Ke suddenly became excited.

Piltover coming to Zaun to put pressure on him doesn’t seem like a bad thing?
