Chapter 43 My feet don’t stink!
At Forgan's Tavern, Li Ke sat in front of Hilko, tasting the fine wine Hilko had smuggled from Bilgewater, and poured the wine down his throat.
Finn died, and his body was found by his men the next morning. His head was separated from his body, and his head rolled down next to the wall. He died miserably.
Li Ke looked at the man in front of him who was not looking at him, and said with a smile:
"Uncle, did you know from the beginning that Finn would run away?"
Hilko withdrew his nostalgic gaze, looked at Li Ke, with a slight smile on his lips, and said softly: "I know him better than you do, Li Ke, after all, I have worked with him for so many years."

"He had this kind of behavior when he was in the mines. He was arrogant and complacent. He always thought he was the smartest person. But in fact, he only had a little cleverness, and he couldn't use it in the right place."
Severka stood silently behind Hilko, and she had no hesitation about killing Finn with her own hands.
Although, her relationship with Finn was not bad when they were in the mine mentioned by Hilko.
However, Finn crossed the line. Hilko gave him a chance, and it was not just a chance, but he still made a mistake.
Replacing Hilko?
What did he think?
If it weren't for Hilko and Fandel, they would still be digging coal in the mines. How could they be in their current situation and status?
Although Severka "betrayed" Fandel, the reason for her betrayal was not because of power and status, but because Fandel made her feel that there was no hope. When the hound put away its minions, it would become a home. Dog, this is not the leader Severka wants.
And she wasn't betraying, she just parted ways with Fandel and joined Hilko.
"Then he died, did you really feel nothing at all?"
"Well, how should I tell you this?" Hilko put his hands on the table gracefully, looked at Li Ke calmly, his eyes stared into Li Ke's eyes, and said calmly: " He made a mistake, Li Ke”
"Actually, everyone makes mistakes. It's not a big deal. No matter how big a mistake you make, you can forgive it as long as you regret it. No one is perfect, but we can't make the same mistake again and again, right? ”
"Uncle, you seem to be eyeing me now?" Li Ke narrowed his eyes and said.
Hilko looked at the sleeping girl lying on the sofa, raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "What do you think?"
"Then it really clicks on me."
"Since she doesn't want to come back to me, I won't force her to come back. She does seem to be living a happier life where you are, she's a little fatter, and her face looks better." Hilko said suddenly.
He continued:
"And just like you said, Li Ke, whether I succeed or you succeed, the final beneficiary will be Zu'an. There is no need for us to really fight to the death. Our purpose is the same, but The style of doing things is different, and you are right about one thing. During the period of pressure from Piltover, Zaun has indeed become too chaotic.”
Hilko tapped his index finger on the table, making a rhythmic sound, and then said: "But not anymore."
Li Ke followed Hilko's line of sight and saw Jinx lying on the sofa. She was sleeping on the sofa with her mouth slightly open and drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. She put one foot on the back of the sofa and One hand was outside the sofa and the other was placed on the lower abdomen, sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, Jinx moved her head, and the two men looked at her, and saw that her little head tilted, and her whole head was pillowed outside the sofa. If she slept in this position, Jinx would have a stiff neck when she woke up. .
Seeing this, Hilko planned to get up and adjust Jinx's posture.
But Li Ke stood up one step ahead of him. He sat outside the table, closer to the sofa. Seeing Li Ke stand up, Hilko was stunned for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes.
Then, he also stood up, took off his neatly arranged and ironed suit without any wrinkles, folded it with his hands and handed it to Li Ke.
"Use this." He said to Li Ke.
Behind Hilko, Severka couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Fuck.
In the past, Hilko was the only one doting on this crazy girl.
Well now, Hilko, Li Ke, and this crazy girl’s sister.
There seem to be more and more people doting on her and loving her?
Savika couldn't help but wonder, what is this girl's charm that makes these people pay so much for her?
Let’s not talk about Hilko and Li Ke. The former is Zaun’s godfather, and the latter is the man who Severka believes is the most powerful individual in Zaun. As for Wei, she is a woman recognized by Severika.
When Wei was still young, Servika thought this girl was extraordinary. Now that she has grown up, that fight proved that Servika was right.
Vi is a fighting genius and a born fighter. Without Shimmer and Alchemy Limbs, Severka doesn't think he can beat Vi.
Li Ke looked at the clothes that Hilko handed over, nodded and took them.
He stretched out his hand to press the clothes, and then Li Ke walked to Jinx's side. After squatting down, Li Ke carefully raised her head. With slow and gentle movements, he put Hilko's clothes under Jinx's head and looked at it again. Looking at her, seeing Jinx sleeping carelessly, Li Ke couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little nose.
"Yeah" Jinx frowned, stretched out her hand to pat in front of her, and muttered quietly.
"You bastard slug, you dare to block my nose, do you want to fight?!"
"Be careful I tell my father." "Hilko, help me teach it a lesson!"
Li Ke was a little amused listening to Jinx's sleep talk.
Damn it, what if it was my name that was shouted here?
I can show off to Hilko!
However, you shouldn't be greedy.
When she first met Jinx, the name that Jinx said the most in her dreams was naturally Wei's, followed by Silko, then Fandel, and finally Li Ke.
But in recent days, Jinx has been calling his name more and more often in her sleep, which is enough to make Li Ke happy.
This means that Li Ke's status in Jinx's heart continues to increase.
After getting up, Li Ke sat back in front of Hilko.
Jinx's behavior was just a minor episode, but because of her, two men with different paths and who should have been enemies could sit together and have a good conversation.
When Li Ke returned to his position, he looked at Silko and saw that the Godfather of Zaun, who had always been famous for his cruelty and inhumanity in Zaun, was looking at Jinx with a disgusted look in his eyes. To be honest, Hilko could squeeze water out of her eyes when she looked at Jinx.
This is definitely Hilko that no one else has seen.
"You're right, she does call my name in her dreams." Hilko looked at Li Ke and said, "Did you hear what she called me just now?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"."
"Xilko, if you want to laugh, just go ahead and laugh. I won't laugh at you." Li Ke sighed.
Hilko smiled. This was probably the first time he showed a true smile in front of Li Ke. He looked at Li Ke and said to Li Ke in front of Severka: "You guessed it right, she is my weakness. ”
Damn it, let this old man pretend to be here!
Li Ke looked at Hilko, remembered what Hilko just said, and said:
"What you just said to me, you said that you and I have different acting styles, but the purpose is the same. I said, uncle, it would be great if you could understand this truth when Father Fandel is alive. ?”
Li Ke said it very sincerely.
Only after he took charge of the Lianhua Gang did he understand what Fandel had done, and how hard and great Fandel was.
If Fandel and Silko could join forces to fight against Piltover and work together, then Zaun would never be what it is today.
Zaun needs Silko, but it also needs Fander.
Hilko was silent. After a moment, he spoke: "I have indeed become able to understand him, but I still don't think his path is correct. Your path is similar, but different."
"You are more capable and courageous than him. You are as gentle to the ordinary people in Zaun as he is, but he is flattering to Pi City and has become a family dog. Li Ke, you are different, I can see it , you have no intention of becoming Pi City’s dog.”
"If he were still alive, I would sincerely apologize to him and tell him that having a daughter is indeed very troublesome. I can understand his original thoughts now, but if he cannot be independent, then all this is Empty talk, his weakness will only bring more trouble to his daughter, and his compromise will not allow Jinx and Wei to stand in the sun," Hilko said calmly.
"I will not be bound by the past, because all I want is the present."
"The dead live in memories, but the living must look forward."
"What I want is for Jinx to stand in the sunshine and live the life a normal person should have."
The atmosphere became a little colder.
But just as Li Ke and Hilko looked at each other in silence, a confused voice sounded.
"That's not food, Li Ke. You took it by mistake. That's my foot."
"It doesn't stink! If you say my feet stink again, I'll beat you to death!"
"I have a footwasher,"
"My shoes are very breathable!"
"Don't touch your feet. It's itchy!"
"Well, the Demon Swamp Frog is so delicious~"
The atmosphere changed from cold to hot, and Hilko's eyes gradually became dangerous when looking at Li Ke.
Li Ke was extremely embarrassed.
He even noticed that Sister Savika looked at him strangely.
"Uncle, I, I just washed Jinx's feet. I didn't do anything. Do you believe it?"
"Do you think I believe it or not?" Hilko sneered.
