Chapter 244 The results of the Philos family trial
Da da! Ta-ta!
Small footsteps sounded in the dark night.
A group of strangers wearing black combat uniforms and hoods walked out of the shadows in the corner of the port and came to Huo Jixing.
"Extraordinary ones, we are secret agents of the Philos family."
The secret agent at the front stepped over, his voice cold and hard, like the sound of a machine.
He looked at Huo Jixing, his eyes in the hood were full of fear, and took out a piece of parchment with a portrait from his arms.
“This is a secret order signed by the Piltover Council.”
“Jannuk is the target of our operation, and I hope you can hand it over to us.”
< br>The secret agent's tone was very polite, because he confirmed that the extraordinary person in front of him was extremely powerful.
Huo Jixing glanced at the Feros family spies who were surrounding him, then his eyes fell on Januck in his hand, and he laughed softly.
“Very popular prey.”
Jannuk had already stopped struggling, his thick arms hanging down by his sides, and his bloodshot eyes looking at the two groups of people in the field. , filled with despair.
He had no idea that this smuggling transaction would attract so many people.
Get rid of everyone from the Wildfire Gang who just escaped.
Now in front of him are spies from the Philos family, as well as strange and powerful extraordinary beings.
"I am the advisor of the Myrdalda family." Huo Jixing spoke softly, looking straight at the spies of the Philos family.
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere of silence filled the air.
In front of the ship burning with fireworks, the orange firelight reflected the two figures.
Whether it is the Myrdalda family or the Philos family, their status in Piltover belongs to the level of powerful oligarchs.
Both families have members from their own camps in the parliament.
Crackling!
The flames were raging, the ship's hull was crumbling in the flames, and the thick wooden boards fell to the ground in the port, throwing up bursts of dust.
Huo Jixing raised his eyes lightly and refused to get out of the way when he saw the spies of the Philos family. He was ready to deal with them and blame them on the departing Wildfire Gang.
Just when he started to do it, there was a figure shrouded in blue light in the distance, and it quickly came over while bouncing.
Bang!
Garr, wearing Hextech armor, fell from the sky and landed on the hard ground.
"Lord Huo Jixing, do you need any help?" Jal spoke up, holding a blood-stained Zaun man in his hand.
“Tsk, tsk, spies of the Feros family?”
By the light of the ship’s fire, Jarl noticed the spies wearing combat uniforms.
"Tell Camille that the Myrdalda family will take over the affairs here."
His tone seemed plain, but it had an undoubted meaning.
After seeing Jarl, these secret agents of the Philos family who refused to retreat, hesitated for a while, and then left one after another.
“Let’s go!”
Huo Jixing looked at the secret agent of the Feros family who was hiding in the darkness, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and motioned for Jial to leave together.
The huge ship beside it had already been plunged into a sea of flames. Most of the ship's hull was pitch black. The sky-high flames attracted the Pi City guards to rush over quickly.
Huo Jixing knocked Jannuk unconscious with one hand, held Jarl's shoulder with the other, and drove away from the port of Piltover in the clouds.
Their departure did not attract anyone's attention. After all, in the current chaotic situation, the Piltover guards first had to prevent the fire from spreading further.
In the dark night, Myrdalda Castle.
Huo Jixing returned to his room and was sitting in the restaurant, enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
The snow-white Poro lay on his side, chewing on the barbecue placed in front of him, and the food was covered in oil stains.
Jal entered the restaurant with the parchment in his hand. Seeing the scene in front of him, his anxious expression changed slightly.
"How was it? Did you get anything?" Huo Jixing peeled off the fruit in his hand and asked softly.
"Jannuk is indeed connected to the Eye of Zaun." Jal answered.
“But according to his confession, it was the Eye of Zuan that found him.”
"He is only responsible for trading shimmering potions and selling collectibles to raise the necessary funds."
When Jal said this, his dark face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were filled with cold light.
“He had no idea about the Hex Stabilizer and Hex Gem that were lost before.”
Although Jarl likes to explore everywhere and search for ancient holy objects, as a Mi A member of the Darda family knows very well.
The powerful position of the Myrdalda family in Piltover is the guarantee that he can now do whatever he wants.
"As for the smuggled shimmer wine, after forced confession, it was a private transaction of the Alchemy Baron of Zaun." Jal continued to speak.
"Father has arranged for people to enter the Zaun area to conduct a secret investigation."
Huo Jixing nodded slowly. This is the performance of Piltover's top family.
Then he thought of the battle that took place in the port area and looked at Jal with a gloomy expression.
“What’s going on with the secret agents of the Philos family? And the Wildfire Gang that appears?”
"Father is contacting Camille to negotiate with the Feros family." Jal repeated Jia Gu's words.
"There will be news tomorrow."
"As for the Wildfire Gang, we can't confirm it yet. Their whereabouts are too mysterious."
Huo Jixing emerged from Wenre He wiped his fingers with his napkin, stood up, walked to Jarl, and took away the parchment.
"Then I'll wait for your news and go back to rest first. Maybe I'll be busy tomorrow."
"Okay."
Jal bowed slightly and left slowly.
The terrifying power shown by Huojixing at the port of Piltover conquered the heirs of the Myrdalda family.
Huo Jixing returned to the study, opened the parchment, and browsed the confessions recorded on it.
“Things are getting more and more interesting.”
He tapped his fingers on the table, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
"The Wildfire Gang, the Alchemy Baron, as well as the Glimmer Potion and Hex Gemstones."
In the Zaun area, the power of the Wildfire Gang cannot be underestimated. It can be said to be the Alchemy Baron Alliance. Outside, the most powerful force.
The leader of its gang is the famous time assassin Ike.
It is rumored that Ike can manipulate time to make any situation beneficial to him.
At the same time, Ike is also a genius inventor with a high IQ. He uses his many inventions to strengthen the growing Wildfire Gang.
"It seems that there are quite a few heroes involved in the Myrdalda family matter."
Huo Jixing's thoughts were surging, and now the one involved in the matter was Ezri. Er and Ike, as well as Camille who was secretly investigating.
He walked to the glass window and looked at Piltover under the dark night, with an inexplicable expression.
“What are the people behind the scenes doing to seek the Hex Stone?”
Blue smoke manor.
This is a majestic manor on the edge of Piltover, close to the mountains.
Looking from a distance, this manor looks like a bright pearl inlaid on the green mountainside.
Buildings made of smooth marble and shiny glass are scattered in the manor in an orderly manner, highlighting the nobility and wealth of the Philos family.
Even at night, Lanxun Manor is still brightly lit. The buildings in the majestic manor become even more spectacular under the light.
The center of the manor is the castle of the Philos family.
The castle is the heart of the estate and a symbol of the power of the Philos family.
The towering main castle, in the study room.
An elegant beauty with slim shoulders, slim waist and tall figure is working at the desk.
The white hair style is more retro-styled, and the slightly tough face shows off the fierce momentum.
"Is there something urgent?"
Camille raised her brows slightly, and her blue eyes fell on the spy who opened the study.
"Jannuk's matter involves the Myrdalda family, and we also met Jal Myrdalda." The secret agent knelt down on one knee and spoke respectfully.
"Jal Midarda?"
Camille murmured softly, a look of surprise flashed in her pupils.
"Has the heir who wants to be an explorer come back? It seems that what happened to Jagu is not simple."
Philos secret agent came to meet Huo Huo at the port. Pole Star, before Jarl arrived, they smelled death.
“Also, we met an extraordinary person who claimed to be the advisor of the Myrdalda family. He is very powerful.”
“In addition, the Wildfire Gang seems to be eyeing Jannuk. , want to find something from him.”
"Haha."
Camille laughed softly, turned her attention away from the table in front of her, and looked at her subordinates carefully.
“Tell me in detail what happened at that time and the subsequent investigation.”
Agent Philos reported in a low voice, arriving at the port from Jial and Huo Jixing, and then what happened at night The battle was slowly described.
The half-day period when Jial and Huo Jixing disappeared was also included in the report.
"The extraordinary flame. A black scabbard worn by someone with the ability to disappear out of thin air."
Camille was thoughtful, got up and left the desk, dismissed her subordinates, and went to her bedroom.
Crunch! Crunch!
There were heavy machine sounds on the dark gray walls of the bedroom.
In Camille's field of vision, a steel passage appeared, with Hex lights on both sides lighting up one after another.
Although the current head of the Philos family is Camille's favorite grandniece.
But as the family's chief spy, Camille actually controls both the family's public affairs and secret operations.
Arriving in the underground secret room, Camille took out the latest news on Valoran from the honeycomb-like pipe in front of her.
In just a moment, Camille found the information she wanted.
"Huo Jixing, a newly rising transcendent in the Noxus Empire, was once a wanderer."
"Currently, we maintain good relations with high-level figures in the Noxus Empire, including two people in the Trifari Council, Noxus Commander Swain and Noxus Hand Darius."
< br>"He has the talent of a star spirit and is good at using the power of fire. His strength is unpredictable, but at least he is at the level of a hero."
Camille lowered her eyes and gently closed the parchment. Place it back into the wooden cylinder.
"Myrdalda family, are you asking for help from the Noxus Empire?"
Different from most of the merchant families in Piltover.
The Philos family maintained the power of the powerful oligarchs through espionage, intimidation, and assassination.
"It seems that my worries are right. Under the bustling Piltover, there is an undercurrent surging."
Camille recalled the recent items brought back by Agent Feros. A lot of information, eyes solemn.
She took steps and continued towards the secret room.
Until we came to a laboratory full of precision instruments.
The laboratory in front of me obviously belongs to a highly confidential and professional field. Every inch of space is fully utilized and filled with various complex equipment and tools.
In the center of the laboratory is an operating table, covered with neat white sheets.
Although there is no living body lying on it at the moment, you can imagine how many precise and important surgeries have been performed here.
Beside the operating table, there is a square array of Hex machines, and Hex technology cubic batteries shine with mysterious light, providing power for various equipment.
There are various metal parts placed on the walls of the laboratory. They are classified and orderly.
Some parts are bulky, while others are small and exquisite, but each of them is sophisticated and complex, and may be a component of some advanced device.
Camille walked into the operating table and gently lifted up her dark dress.
At this moment, I saw that her legs were like steel blades, flashing with a metallic cold light, which was so cold that it penetrated people's hearts.
Camille began to strengthen her weapons, including leg blades, hooks and other devices.
As an expert in solving difficult problems, she has fully accepted her transformation beyond the human realm and the power of life and death that comes with it
And she understood that it was time for her own activities.
Because she vaguely sensed an invisible undercurrent sweeping Piltover and Zaun.
"The day of evolution is coming!"
"May the gears turn in the right direction!"
The next morning.
Lower urban areas, on dirty streets.
Wearing thin clothes, Vi yawned and rubbed her eyes as she walked through the gilded room in the Piltover Police Station.
It was just dawn, and the streets and the police station were still quiet. There were only a few drunkards who made trouble last night, sobering up in the detention room.
There are also two punk teenagers from Zaun who have been enhanced with alchemical technology and are imprisoned in a more heavily guarded underground cell.
Vi is going to ask questions when she comes back to see what they are doing in Piltover.
She came to her office area and moved her extremely sore and stiff shoulders.
Hearing that there was fierce fighting in the port area last night, she originally wanted to go over and help, but the night shift prevented her from leaving her post.
"I really want to drink a glass of strong wine to wake up." Wei raised her eyebrows and muttered.
But she had to look away from her desk and go to her partner's office.
Because Caitlin had been telling herself to come over as soon as possible through the sound transmission tube since the morning, saying that there was something urgent.
Pushing open the office door, Wei saw a familiar figure sitting behind the desk, holding a letter in his hand.
"Is there something that can't be said in the sound tube? I just finished the night shift last night." Wei complained.
"News about the shimmering potion."
Caitlin leaned back on the chair, looked at her partner, and raised the letter in her hand.
“Do you want to”
Before she could finish her words, Wei quickly ran over, took the letter, and started reading it carefully.
“Hey, the battle at the port last night was actually related to the smuggling of the shimmering potion.”
“There are also people from the Wildfire Gang. Things are a bit complicated. Maybe it’s not just the shimmering potion. Simple. "
Vi put down the letter in her hand, stared at Caitlin, and asked.
“Is there any news on it?”
