Chapter 90 Seven Conditions
Li Ke sat upright and patted Jinx's calf.
Xiao Jin snorted, then sat upright, but he yawned, and then stared blankly ahead.
She doesn't like this kind of formal occasion because it's too boring. Instead of sitting here and listening to the people from Piltover, she might as well take Isa to play bug fighting. At least Isa will look at her with admiration. she.
But Jinx, who thought this occasion was boring, immediately changed her mind.
Because Li Ke is speaking,
Everyone in the room looked at Li Ke, including Hilko, Fandel, Wei, who always disliked Li Ke, and Severka as well.
Jinx couldn't help but look at Li Ke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
Li Ke didn't notice that when he made the conditions to the Picheng people, Ahri's blessing worked.
A strange charm arose, which made him stand out in the eyes of others
Coupled with the current situation, Piltover's high-status congressmen were all standing in front of Li Ke, and Jinx was stunned as she looked at them.
She originally liked whatever Li Ke liked!
Now Li Ke is suddenly so handsome again!
Well, I really can’t blame her!
His eyes were fixed on Li Ke's face and he couldn't move away at all!
"The first thing is that Piltover must recognize Zaun's autonomy and independence, and tear up the collegial agreement signed by Zaun and Piltover. Wait, it's fine if you don't tear it up. You just need to add a few strokes and write Piltover The husband formally recognized Zaun's independence. Zaun was no longer under the jurisdiction of Piltover. Piltover had no right to interfere in Zaun's internal affairs and economy in the future. Piltover could not refuse Zaun people to enter Pilt without justifiable reasons. Wolf.”
Li Ke looked at Mel, put away his first finger, and said calmly.
He simply ignored the group of MPs behind Mel and only looked at Mel.
Mel took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I agree."
"I don't think any member of Congress would refuse this condition at this time." Meier made his decision.
"The second condition is that the control of the Screamer and the Progress Bridge must be transferred to the Zaun people, and the Dance Corridor will be delimited north to Harbor Park. This territory will belong to Zaun." Li Ke continued.
Mel paused and opened her mouth. She felt that this condition was inappropriate.
The former one, giving control to Zaun, was acceptable to Mel, but the latter one, giving land to Zaun, was inappropriate for Mel.
Seeing Mel open her mouth, Li Ke shook his head and spoke before Mel: "I'll stress it to you again, Mel, you only have two choices now: agree or disagree. If you agree, we can continue." Talk, if you don’t agree, then we will continue to fight.”
"That land shouldn't belong to Piltover in the first place. It's a good thing that I didn't go to your port. You Piltover people won't stay there anyway, right?"
"Huh-ok." Mel nodded.
"The third thing is that Zaun is going to open a port in Piltover. Please note that it is not to steal your port, but to cooperate with you to use the port." Li Ke slowly took away the third finger and used He said in an unquestionable tone.
Hoskar, who controls shipping, stood up, came behind Mel, and said, "Can you tell me more about the cooperation? The shipping in Piltover is controlled by my family."
Li Ke looked at Hoskar and saw his solemn expression. He thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at Ike: "Ike, give up your position."
Ike immediately stood up and gave his position to Hoskal.
Later, several councilors looked at Li Ke's behavior, and their expressions became worse.
What is this doing?
Does this tell them that those who are willing to bow their heads, cooperate with Zu An, and show kindness to Zu An can sit at this table?
How does this young man, who looks less than 20 years old, possess political skills beyond his years?
Pull a group, beat a group. The industrialist named Hilko came up and criticized the congressman. Hoskal was pointed at his head and scolded and threatened. But now that Hoskal sat down, he pretended not to After seeing it, he sat quietly next to Li Ke and looked at Mel.
Is this... a way to give the congressmen face?
The steps have been set up.
Gila Mann stood up and said softly: "The ventilation ducts in Zaun were built by the Gila Mann family. Gila Mann has always helped Zaun improve the ventilation ducts and clean up wastewater and poisonous gas. Now, I will use this Return the key to Zuan.”
Li Ke looked at Wei with a smile on his face: "It's your turn."
Wei rolled her eyes angrily, glared at Li Ke, and muttered: "I fucking told her that my relationship with her is not the kind of relationship you think!"
The scolding continued, but Wei still gave up her position.
Councilor Gila Mann also sat down, and Wei stood behind her.
Jinx didn't understand it at first, but after hearing what Vi said, she banged the table with a "ha", pointed at Vi's and shouted, "I understand, Gila Mann , Gila Mann! What did that chopstick-leg woman call herself? Ah, Caitlin Gila Mann, Damn, Wei, is this your mother-in-law?”
"?" Ms. Gila Mann looked at Jinx after hearing this, confused and confused.
And Wei rushed forward and covered Jinx's mouth, "Shut up! I've told you ten thousand times that it's not what you think!"
"It's no use blocking my mouth! You, um, you!"
"Okay, everyone, don't pay attention to my family affairs, let's continue talking." Li Ke looked at everyone.
"Congressman Hoskar, when I talk about cooperation, someone will give you a cooperation treaty. Don't worry, you won't suffer too much loss."
When Hoskar heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He won't suffer too much, but he will suffer anyway?
But, what can we do?
Didn’t you see Salo still squatting in the corner like a dead dog?
As one of the richest people in Peart, Salo has reached the peak of status, power, and fame. However, no matter how beautiful the wool grows, how much meat grows, and how fat the sheep is, when it comes to the wolf, it will only It’s just food on a plate.
Hoskal was very aware of current affairs and chose to walk down the steps handed out by Zu An and came to Zu An.
Just like what Silko said before, all the law enforcement officials in Pi City were arrested. Pi City, which lost its armed strength, is now a rich but weak city.
Okay, it's better than that miserable look like Salo.
After all, the Noxians led by Ambesa couldn't defeat Zaun, so if Piltover lost, it didn't seem to matter?
Furthermore, Hoskal and others are not fools. They have known about Ambesa's conspiracy for a long time, and they chose to board Ambesa's ship to eliminate the threat to Zaun. But now, the threat they want to eliminate has turned Anbesa's plan to Anbesa's. Bessa was crushed.
But it’s okay. Couldn’t they just switch to another boat?
It seems that cooperating with the Zaans is better than cooperating with the Noxians?
After all, our two cities were one family hundreds of years ago!
This means that Li Ke doesn't know. If he knew what Hoskal was thinking, then he would really laugh angrily.
If you ask Li Ke to do this shameless operation, he really can't do it. Li Ke doesn't think he is a good person, but he doesn't admit that he is a bad person. He is definitely kind and he wants to be shameless.
So let’s use one sentence to describe Piltover’s congressmen – good people don’t understand politics, and those who do understand politics are not good people.
"I understand." Hoskal said, then lowered his eyes, sat down and began to become invisible.
Li Ke also started to talk about the fourth condition: "The fourth condition is that Piltover must return all the resources that it once swallowed and belong to Zaun to Zaun."
As soon as these words came out, the congressmen sitting in their seats were all stunned.
"This"
"We have indeed done this kind of thing, and we admit it, but Mr. Li Ke, is this too embarrassing? After all, this kind of thing happened many times before us, and there is no way to clean up the accounts. Mel looked at Li Ke and said with a frown.
This condition is not difficult for Pi City, because Pi City has nothing but money.
Therefore, among the four conditions, perhaps this condition is what Zaun needs most now, but it is also the easiest for Pi City to agree to.
But as Mel said, Piltover's exploitation of Zaun began a hundred years ago, and by her time as a member of Parliament, this account could not be settled at all.
Li Ke smiled and looked at Ike.
Ikko immediately reached behind him and took out a notebook to read. Then, he said: "We only recorded the resources that Piltover took away from Zaun in the past hundred years, including but not limited to ——”
"Minerals, seafood, all kinds of materials."
Ike read a lot in one breath. At first, several council members were a little scared, fearing that the Zaun lion would speak, but then they became surprised.
Not
That's it?
Do you want this money?
To be honest, before the Hex Flying Gate came out, this money might still be worth looking at for Piltover, but after the Hex Flying Gate appeared, Piltover's economic progress accelerated for a hundred years. Money... is not even a drop in the bucket in today's Piltover!
Mel could easily make up for the debt by just digging around at home.
Because of this, the congressmen began to look at Ike like a fool.
"As above, these are all the resources that Piltover owes us. We won't get any more points. We just want to return our own things." Ike put down his notebook, his eyes were clean and clear. He stood up straight and looked at the congressman.
Then, Representative Gila Mann suddenly lowered his head, with a look of shame on his face.
Mel also lowered his head.
Hoskar said nothing, but his expression was strange, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
"Do you agree?"
"Of course." Gila Mann nodded and said, "This money will come from our Gila Mann family."
Li Ke didn't say anything about this. The money given by anyone was money, and after stating the fifth condition he wanted. What Li Ke was going to say next were the two conditions he had thought up temporarily. Even Hilko didn't know about these two conditions.
After all, Piltover and Noxus suddenly attacked Zaun. If it weren't for the two monsters Li Ke and Fandel, Piltover would have really succeeded.
The incident happened suddenly, so of course there was no way to discuss it with Hilko in advance.
"The sixth condition, I hope that Piltover University can increase the number of admissions for Zaun students."
Silko raised his eyebrows and remained silent. The knowledge of Piltover was indeed what Zaan needed.
The congressmen looked at each other, and then Mel said: "Okay, we will do a good job in this matter."
"In addition to normal examination promotions, Piltover University will allocate 50 places to Zaun every year, and the school will also use a brand new building. Please rest assured." Mel said.
50 places is really a lot, considering that the number of students admitted to Piltover University every year is less than a few hundred.
At this moment, only the last finger of Li Ke's right hand was stretched out. He said with a smile: "The last one is that I hope that the two cities will each provide an important person in the other city-state. As the two cities A bridge of relationships.”
"I emphasize again that Zaun is fully capable of annexing Piltover. There are many reasons why it chose not to annex Piltover. The crimes committed by Piltover, just these seven transactions, cannot be solved at all. Erase the hatred of the Zaun people, but for the sake of the overall situation, I chose to let you stay.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"This is not a robbery for you, but a cooperation."
Li Ke said in a deep voice: "I want Jess Talis to come to Zaun and become a city-state councilor in Zaun, and we will send Severka to Piltover to become a councilor in Piltover."
When Mel heard that Li Ke wanted Jace to go to Zaun, she subconsciously stood up to object, but Li Ke's subsequent words made Mel hold back.
"In order to deepen the cooperative relationship between the two cities and achieve good future development, this is my seventh request."
"Now, after I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
Li Ke spread his hands flat on the table, leaned back on his chair, and looked at the congressmen calmly.
Gila Mann nodded first, then Polpok, then Hoskal, Mel.
Jinx looked at Li Ke silently, her face a little red.
Handsome. So handsome!
Doesn't this occasion seem so boring?
Li Ke is so charming!
Looking at Li Ke's face, Jinx couldn't help but twist her legs together.
"Then, three days later, we will come again and bring an agreement, and the cooperation between the two cities will start from that day."
"Everyone, please don't regret it after we leave. If I can come here once, I can come here a second time." Li Ke stood up and said to the congressmen.
The Zaun people at the round table all stood up and prepared to leave with Li Ke.
But Mel stopped Li Ke and said, "What about that, Mr. Li Ke."
"Is there anything else?"
Mel nodded and said, "I think you should add another condition."
Li Ke understood what Mel meant, smiled at Mel, and looked at her gently, but as soon as he took a look, Jinx came over and pressed her head on Li Ke's back.
"What's wrong?" Li Ke turned around with concern and looked at Jinx, who had her little face buried in his back.
"I don't know!" Jinx exclaimed.
Li Ke ignored Mel, turned to look at Jinx, and stretched out his hand to touch her face in a funny way, "Want to sleep?"
"Not sleepy."
"Are you hungry?"
“There’s a lot to eat at night.”
"What's going on?" Li Ke was still smiling, not impatient at all.
Jinx hummed, then just raised her leg and kicked Li Ke's calf with her shoe.
Not far behind her, Hilko and Fandel watched this scene silently.
"Did my daughter not signal enough, or is Li Ke too stupid?" Hilko frowned.
Fandel nodded first, then looked down at Hilko with bared teeth: "That's my daughter!"
"Mr. Li Ke?"
"Well, I understand what you mean, Mel. Regarding your mother, we will discuss it at that time. As long as the benefits are in place, I can let her go." Li Ke said perfunctorily to Mel.
Ambesa stayed not only to ask questions, but also because she was Mel's mother.
For the two cities, Mel is definitely a good leader. She is responsible, kind, and capable. As a council member of Piltover, she does not look down on Zaun. There are various places in the anime that describe Mel's character.
She is not someone who uses people as tools to achieve her goals. She is really completely different from the Noxians.
After hearing what Li Ke said, Mel no longer bothered, nodded and stood aside, looking at Ambesa who was unconscious and had her arm broken, she couldn't bear it, but in the end she turned her head and stopped looking.
Li Ke also hugged Jinx and led her forward. He raised his other hand and waved to the people behind him.
"Return to Zu'an."
"Yes!"
There was a sound of footsteps in the Parliament Building, and row after row of Zaunians exited the parliament building in Piltover.
Jinx was hugged by Li Ke, and she also pushed herself into Li Ke's arms.
What she likes most about Li Ke is that he will pamper her unconditionally.
She doesn't care how much money Li Ke has, what status he has, how powerful he is, all she wants is Li Ke who will pamper her, care about her, and won't be impatient with her when she acts petty or rogue. gram.
The little head was buried in Li Ke's chest and rubbed hard. Jinx smelled the scent of Li Ke.
Then, she looked up at Li Ke: "I'm hungry."
"Okay, then go home and ask Isa what she wants to eat, and I'll cook it for you."
"I want to eat roast chicken!" When your mood is good, your appetite will be good.
It’s not boring tonight!
First, he hit the guy with a machine gun and vented his anger. Then he saw the handsome Li Ke at the negotiation table. Then he was jealous of Li Ke's smile at others, and was coaxed by Li Ke. .
Hum hum, as expected, as long as you are with Li Ke, you will be happy no matter what you do!
Isha on the side also screamed, gesturing with her little hands.
"You can't eat desserts at night." Li Ke lowered his head and looked at Isha and said seriously.
Isa immediately lowered her head, the big hat covering her entire little face, but you could feel how disappointed she was without looking at her expression.
"Yeah." Just as Jinx hummed, Li Ke grabbed her little nose and said to her, "No."
"Just a little, I want something sweet too," Jinx said.
"."
"Oh, I really owed you in my previous life." Li Ke was helpless.
"Okay!" Seeing Li Ke say this, Jinx immediately jumped up and hugged his neck, cheering happily. Then, she looked down at Isa and stretched out her hand. Isa also happily stretched out her hand to pat Jinx.
The group of people just walked on the streets of Piltover, heading towards the Bridge of Progress.
The evening breeze was a bit cold, but Aunt Marna and Uncle Ker felt warm because Zu An was really independent!
The two of them planned to return to Zaun and spread the news immediately to let all Zaun people know the good news!
Although Marson's injury was healed by Singed, the low light would consume energy when healing the injury, so he was being supported by Willa at the moment, with a big smile on his face.
Silko and Fandel walked at the back of the crowd, silently watching a large group of Zaun people walking forward happily.
"Successful," Hilko said with emotion.
He really saw Zu An's independence.
After tonight, Zaun will no longer be attached to Piltover. What he has devoted his life to has really been accomplished, and it has been accomplished by Li Ke.
"Are you so moved that you're about to cry?" Fandel teased Silko.
"When I want to cry, you should wipe the eye mucus around your eyes first." Hilko snorted, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and passed by Fandel who was rubbing his eyes. His voice remained. In the wind——
"Didn't you cry too?"
Zuan
Returned victorious.
