lol: Bind Syndra at the start

And Jace himself... he couldn't refuse, let alone refuse.

Chapter 364 Ryan's Plan

It was late at night, but the lights in Jace's office were still bright.

This brightness can be understood from two levels.

First of all, on the physical level, everyone in the building did not go off work tonight, but gathered here, waiting for orders that might be issued at any time.

The decision on how to deal with Kiraman's family was made by most of the people in Piltover, so this matter could not be hidden from anyone.

Even the dullest drunkard in the Qilaman family would know about this, let alone those who truly support this family?

They will not sit idly by and wait for death. They will definitely launch a Jedi counterattack before the dust settles!

Continuing the family line is their lifelong pursuit and a creed engraved deep in their souls. Nothing can be more important than continuing the family line.

The quiet night now is but the last peace before the storm.

The Kiramans were waiting, and Jace's actions determined their response.

After all, as a "weak aristocracy", as long as the coffin is not placed in front of them, they will also have expectations for the almost non-existent miracle.

This does not conflict with their determination to protect their family. On the contrary, because they are determined, they are more likely to choose to hesitate in a dilemma.

No one dares to bear the consequences of making the wrong choice. Compared with the risks and uncertainties of taking risks, they would rather wait for the danger to come first and then fight with their backs against the wall.

The other level is the attention level. After the declaration in the square ended, this place became the next focus of almost all Piltover people.

Whether they are commoners, wealthy businessmen, nobles...even those who are members of the same parliament as Jace, I am afraid they will not sleep well tonight. They will use their own ways to "pay attention" to Jace's every move.

This matter is closely related to their lives and future. Not all ordinary people are blind. There are also many smart people among them, so they understand the hidden turbulence under this game.

If Jace ultimately triumphs, it will prove that this progressive city still has room for improvement;

If Jace ultimately loses to the Kiraman family, it will prove that this progressive city has lost its core driving force and will gradually become a decadent city.

......

The bright yellow light illuminated Jace's face, and the stubble that had seemed embarrassing before now became a symbol of maturity and stability.

But he has indeed matured a lot, and in just a few days he has experienced ups and downs that he has never experienced before.

"I see."

Jace glanced at it and responded.

He did not blame the people around him for their unusual behavior some time ago. It is the nature of many people to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. What he needs to do now is to stop himself from falling into such a low position.

"Do you have anything else to tell me?" The staff member was reluctant to leave because he knew that more people would come up later and there might not be room for him.

"No, by the way...keep an eye on what's happening in Zaun."

"You mean the Chem-Baron of Zaun?"

"No, keep an eye out for a man returning from Zaun... the man who appeared in the square with Mel."

"I see!"

The staff slowly retreated.

"Where are you going to start?"

After the outsiders were gone, Mel took the initiative to ask.

Her political career is indeed much longer than Jace's, but the current situation is also extremely unfamiliar to her.

Whether she was in Noxus or in Piltover, true nobles were always nobles, and they had never encountered true catastrophe.

Therefore, she had no real experience in how to bring a family down.

"I want to know the situation in Zaun first." Jace stood up and walked over to Mel, holding Mel's hand with his own. "I don't want to experience that feeling of being alone and helpless again. We must first determine who is on our side and who is on the other side."

"No one will help the Qilaman family. They only have themselves." Mel was sure of this.

Not all nobles are as naive as Catelyn. They will not easily bet on either side until the scales of victory tilt.

"Then we have to determine who is on our side!"

"You don't actually have a plan in mind, right?" Mel saw through Jace's cover-up.

She stood up and embraced Jace in return. "It's not your fault. You have too little time. You're a good scientist, but even the best need time to learn something else."

"I'll find a way..." Jace took a deep breath. He actually had a trump card.

Although the opening of this trump card may bring new risks, scientists are not lacking in adventurous spirit.

If things really get to a point of no return, he decides to try to use Hextech weaponization to regain the right to speak.

Hextech is his real foundation!

“We haven’t reached that stage yet.”

A voice interrupted the tenderness between the two.

Ryan's cheek was illuminated by the office light. He looked at the black man and the white man who were almost stuck together and asked abruptly, "Did I choose the wrong time? How about I go out and wait for five minutes?"

"You didn't choose the wrong time!"

"Why only five minutes!?"

The previous sentence was said by Mel.

The latter sentence is Councillor Tallis' response.

Even the slowest man will be particularly sensitive to certain times.

Mel looked at Jace strangely, as if he was holding back from saying something.

Ryan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Six minutes is fine."

"You...where did you come from?" In the end, serious matters occupied Jace's mind.

"From the window, no one knows I'm coming."

Ryan didn't care about these things before, but since he showed up in the square, he has come into the sight of other forces.

At this time, a little more concealment can increase the chance of winning.

Although the ending is not something that needs to be guessed, what is important in the game is not the result but the process.

"Is everything going well in Zaun?"

"It's going very smoothly. After a while, Zaun will become a solid block, and the noise will be suppressed by Sevika. You can meet up and talk in detail then." Ryan found a place to sit down. "How about you guys?"

"On our side..."

Jace recounted the situation.

He hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but ask at the end: "What stage have you reached yet?"

"It's not time to blame the problem yet. What are you hesitating about now? Are you afraid of being used as a tool?"

"Yes," Mel Bjerkes said frankly.

"That's easy. We just need to find a gun."

"Who will help us? No noble would place a bet at a time like this, and ordinary people can't get involved either."

"Normal nobles wouldn't bet, but what about desperate nobles?" Ryan looked at Jace and Mel, "Have you forgotten a guy named Sal? He's also a councilor and a noble. Even if he may not be one soon, at least he is now!

"Let the parliamentarians investigate the parliamentarians, let the nobles fight the nobles, and we just need to stand back and watch!"

Chapter 365 Game Rules

Ryan's suggestion gave Mel and Jace new ideas.

The aristocracy does seem out of reach for ordinary people.

But there are also differences in status among the nobles.

Those nobles with deep roots would not take risks, and would not even bother to tie their own interests to Jace, a newly grown sapling.

But there are always nobles who are slowly being eliminated by the times and want to seize every opportunity to restore the glory of their ancestors. This group of people understand the rules of the game among nobles better than ordinary people, but they are more daring than other nobles to take risks and try new things.

For example, the Thrall that Ryan mentioned.

The development of the family behind him has not been optimistic in recent years. The patriarch used the remaining family assets to exchange for a seat in parliament for Sal, hoping that this parliamentary right can help the family reverse the decline.

But Jinx's rocket not only destroyed the Piltover Senate Hall and Thrall's spine, but also completely destroyed the hopes and future of the entire family...

Thrall is indeed a fool, but the family behind him cannot all be equally stupid.

The reason why they are willing to become Anbesa's puppets is because they have no choice.

And for this group of people, what is the difference between being a puppet of the Noxians and being a puppet of Jace and Mel?

"This is a good suggestion, but we don't have anyone we can trust right now..." Mel's face didn't look good.

Before she fully understood Anbesa's true face, many of her "confidants" in Piltover were her fellow tribesmen sent from Noxus.

And now that group of people has undoubtedly surrounded Anbesa, and as for Jace... his best friend is still lying in the Hextech core.

It is impossible for them to handle such a matter by themselves, and the staff outside, firstly, they do not have the ability to do so, and secondly, they will surrender if threatened by other nobles.

"I can try for you." Ryan saw their difficulties.

Send the Buddha to the west.

Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and the final touch is all that's needed. Besides, this kind of bullying...to be honest, Ryan has never experienced it before.

"Thank you!"

Jace and Mel stood up deliberately to show their respect for Ryan.

Initially, they were skeptical and critical of this Ionian, but now they have completely come to believe that there are indeed good people in this world who "do everything for everyone."

"I'll go and convince them for you, but you can't just sit there." Ryan looked at Jayce, "There's something I need your permission for. This matter concerns the future of Piltover."

He did not lie and even downplayed the impact of the incident.

"You said."

"I need to see Victor."

"Him?" Jace was a little surprised. "He may not be able to meet you now."

"I know he's in the Hex Core, but your knowledge of magic is still too limited. You have no idea that the real danger is already quietly extending its tentacles from behind."

Jace wanted to say something else.

But Mel had already made the decision for him. "Victor is in his lab and can arrange it anytime."

"Then wait for my news."

Ryan turned into a streak of dark purple light and slipped away through the gap in the window.

After being transformed into dark magic, 'shadow magic' could no longer conceal its power from the perception of the powerful, but in this 'modern city-state' where 99% of the population were Muggles, it was no different from real shadow magic.

For example, at this moment, Councilman Tallis felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped several degrees. He couldn't help but tighten his collar and turned to look at his lover. "Magic is really a magical power. It's a pity that we don't have the chance to experience it..."

He didn't finish his words.

Because he saw Mel's eyes light up with golden light at this moment.

......

......

Although Jace has no talent for magic, he has found a good partner.

This allows him to explore the secrets of magic in depth as a Muggle and gain precious sources of inspiration from them.

But these things have nothing to do with Ryan, who is wandering in the dark night of Piltover.

After the square speech, the Chilaman family increased the frequency of law enforcement parades.

Captains who were rarely seen were also sent out to search for something on one quiet street after another.

Ordinary people cannot sense magic, but those who often experience danger can sense the approach of danger.

At a certain moment, a woman with short red hair suddenly raised her head and looked towards the eaves.

There was nothing there, but she always felt that there was something there before.

The metal gloves gleamed brightly under the streetlights, but they couldn't help their owner find any clues.

"Wei, we're going to the next street."
