I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

Vladimir's purpose in arranging for Fojego to inherit Gurez is self-evident.

If Fryego wants to gain power and status in Noxus, he must rely on the identity of Leon Gures.

This forced him to become adversaries with Du Kecao.

If Foygo is killed by Du Kekao, it means he's nothing special, just a good-for-nothing.

There is absolutely no need for Vladimir to continue wasting time cooperating with Foyego.

If Foygo killed Du Kekao, it would not only test Foygo's strength, but also prove that Foygo's own background was at least not problematic.

Most importantly, eliminating Du Kekao also meant successfully binding Fryego to the Black Rose's chariot, completely placing him on the opposite side of Noxus's official stance.

Regardless of Fryego's background, Vladimir now has a basis for further cooperation with him.

.........

Vladimir's move certainly made Foygo look at his uncle with new respect.

However, this does not directly conflict with his purpose.

What Fryego wants is high-level power within the Noxian Empire.

This is how he achieves his two objectives.

One option is to use the power of the Noxian Empire to restrain Mordekaiser, and ideally, find Mordekaiser's weaknesses.

The second goal was to spread the faith of the Dark Lord throughout Noxus, thereby enhancing the power of the God of Death.

As for Noxus, whether his stance is good or bad, and whether he helps good people or bad people, remains to be seen.

This had no impact on Feuergo himself.

Foygo knew that the empire was about to undergo a tremendous transformation.

Noxus will launch a large-scale invasion of Ionia and ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.

Then, the current General Darkwell will step down, Swain will succeed him, and the Trifalley Council will be established.

Before that, Foygo must have a suitable and powerful enough figure to intervene.

Folyago already had a plan in mind.

Du Kekao must be dealt with, but not necessarily killed.

How exactly to proceed depends on whether this old general is knowledgeable enough.

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Foygo's eyes.

.............

Katrina returned to the dark Du Kekao house with her pretty face flushed with anger.

Katrina was already used to the darkness of the Du Kekao family.

The father, Du Kecao, was often busy with official business and did not come home.

Meanwhile, her mother, Soleana, was a well-known socialite in the Immortal Fortress, and spent most of her time socializing.

Even her younger sister, Cassiopeia, inherited her mother's talent as a socialite and often accompanied her to banquets of various nobles.

As for the household servants, they were all dismissed by Du Kekao after his mother, Soleanna, was poisoned many years ago.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that the huge Du Coca-Cola mansion was empty.

The shame and anger from the dinner party still lingered in the young girl's heart; she even secretly vowed that she would kill Leon Gurez if she had the chance!

Wash away all the shame we suffered today!

With her mind in turmoil, the girl lowered her guard somewhat and slowly stepped into the dark mansion.

suddenly.

"Whoosh!!"

A loud whooshing sound rushed towards Katrina.

Katrina was shocked.

However, her excellent instincts and conditioned reflexes honed over many years allowed her to dodge the incoming flying knife in time.

Even so, her panicked state caused her movements to become somewhat clumsy and lose their usual rhythm.

“Ding!!!”

A sharp dagger was plunged into the marble floor beside Katrina, the terrifying force and the gleaming blade sending a chill down the girl's spine.

Someone attacked her!

And he even harbored murderous intent!

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ····

But before she could catch her breath...

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A series of whooshing sounds came from the dark space as sharp daggers surrounded Katrina from all sides.

One wrong step and every step is wrong.

Due to her earlier carelessness, Katrina has fallen into the opponent's continuous offensive.

She hurriedly drew the dagger from her waist and, using the sound to pinpoint the location, slashed away each of the flying daggers.

The short sword exerted tremendous force, causing Katrina's hands to feel numb.

Her opponent was definitely a master who was superior to her in every way!

Despite her young age, Katrina is already a master of the Gold rank.

However, it's important to understand that even among gold, there are differences in strength.

Experience, mindset, skills, strategy...

These are all factors that constitute overall strength.

It was just a brief exchange.

... .... 0

Katrina immediately realized that the attacker's strength far surpassed her own.

The barrage of flying knives that had been shooting in from all directions in the darkness had just stopped, and before Katrina could even catch her breath...

suddenly.

"bass!!"

A dazzling, cold light suddenly burst forth from the darkness.

Katrina immediately realized that it was the reflection of light from the sharp blade!

She quickly used the dagger in her hand to meet the cold light.

But then, the sensation of the dagger striking empty air caused Katrina's pupils to contract slightly.

Finished!

This is a feint!

But it was too late for her to realize this.

"boom!"

The opponent's real attack had already struck Katrina squarely in the abdomen.

The terrifying force sent Katrina flying backward, crashing heavily onto the cold marble floor.

"Ahem..."

Katrina coughed twice and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Her opponent's attack likely left her unable to fight for a short time, and her internal organs suffered varying degrees of injury.

The strange thing is that, for some reason, her opponent didn't take her life just now.

Instead, he chose to injure her.

Regardless of the reason, Katrina knew she had lost.

Just as she was preparing to face her destiny.

Light suddenly appeared in the dark mansion.

The candlelight illuminated everything in the mansion.

Not far away, a handsome middle-aged man in military uniform was looking at Katrina with eyes full of disappointment.

"Father?!"

Katrina gasped in surprise, finding it hard to believe that the person who had attacked her was her father.

Yes, it's the middle-aged man in front of me.

Indeed—Du Kekao, Katrina's biological father.
