Legends of Runeterra

"Bang~!"

The iron door was pushed open roughly again, but this time Ezreal ignored it and leaned in the corner of the cell with his eyes closed.

Now that things have come to this, he is now gathering his strength and waiting for nightfall, when he will be able to sneak out with his superb lock-picking skills.

The hard heels of the leather shoes collided with the ground, and the clear and somewhat messy footsteps were getting closer and closer.

“Kala~!”

“43...Mr. Ezreal, I’m very sorry to have taken up so much of your time. You can leave now!”

"Hmm? Me!?"

"Yes sir."

Ezreal frowned slightly. He knew very well what was happening with his uncle in Piltover.

Although he is a museum director, in terms of status, he can only be considered middle-class at best, which is not enough to make the police officers in front of him so respectful.

"Squeak~!"

The police officer opened the cell door and stood aside.

"Please, sir."

"Oh well."

Ezreal nodded and walked out.

No matter what, let's go meet the man who got me out of jail first.

He is the genius adventurer Ezreal, who knows, it is possible that his fans heard the news and came to save their idol!

'It's just that I've been shut down for so many days, and now my image is a bit bad, but if they are my fans, they definitely won't care about it.'

Ezreal followed the police officer and quietly tidied his hair.

...

Office of the Piltover Police Chief.

"I'm so sorry, Master Li En, this is such a huge misunderstanding."

"Haha~! Don't be nervous, Chief Bourne, you are also acting impartially."

"Yes, yes, thank you Master Li En for your understanding."

Li En leaned casually on the sofa. Opposite him, Director Bourne sat upright with a forced smile on his resolute face.

Although Bourne did not attend Midalda's dinner, the news about Li En spread within a certain range.

If this man in front of him, who was able to suppress so many families, really wanted to get rid of him as the director, it would only take a word from him.

On the table between the two of them, in addition to two cups of steaming black tea, there was also a metal gauntlet inlaid with blue gems and with faintly complex patterns.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"what's up?"

"Chief, Mr. Ezreal is here."

"Invite him in!"

“Crack~!”

The door opened and the police officer walked in with Ezreal.

As soon as he came in, Ezreal saw a familiar face looking at him with a smile.

"Eh? Mr. Li En!?"

“Haha~! Hello Ezreal, we meet again.”

"Uh...hey, hello Mr. Li En."

Ezreal scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile on his face.

Li En noticed that Ezreal's eyes were looking at the table from time to time, so he stood up and picked up the Gauntlet of Na'zuk.

"Here, take back your treasure."

"Thank you Mr. Li En!"

Ezreal quickly took the gauntlet and quickly put it back on his left hand.

"Hoo~!"

Ezreal subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and felt the weight on his left hand. Only then did he feel relieved.

"We are very sorry, Mr. Ezreal. Due to our mistake, we delayed you for so long. To show our sincerity, this is our compensation to you."

As Bourne spoke, a police officer walked forward carrying a silk bag.

Even without opening it, Ezreal could tell from the shape of the bulging bag that it was full of gold Hex.

"This... Director Bourne, I..."

The destruction of Lanbao Street was caused by him. Now he has not paid any compensation, but instead got another sum of money.

Ezreal is not stupid. He knows that the other party must be doing this because of Li En, so he looks at Li En hesitantly.

"Take it, Ezreal. Chief Bourne is strict with rewards and punishments, so don't make it too difficult for him."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ezreal."

"That's... okay!"

Watching Ezreal accept the compensation, a smile broke out on Chief Bourne's face.

"Then we won't bother you any more, Chief Bourne."

“Hahaha~! Lord Li En, Mr. Ezreal, I’ll see you off!”

"Please stay, Chief Bourne."

Under the gaze of Chief Bourne, Li En and his companion left the office under the guidance of the police officers.

"Hoo~!"

Bourne took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I turned around and sat on the sofa, and suddenly saw an anonymous savings card on the tea table.

"Shua~!"

Bourne stood up suddenly, picked up the card, and turned to look at the door.

After a moment's silence, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

...

"Where to?"

"Uh... Lemire Museum."

"Okay, get in the car."

Take Ezreal onto the carriage and drive along the street.

"Um...Mr. Li En..."

"Haha~! Just say whatever you want to say, Ezreal. You're not like the genius adventurer that the rumors say you are by being so timid.

Also, just call me Li En!"

"Hehe~! Okay, Li En!"

Ezreal scratched his head, and soon the flashy temperament he had when they first met that day emerged in his mind.

"Li En, I still have to pay the compensation for Sapphire Street. I would like to ask you to think of a way to return these gold hexes to the police station, or spend them on the construction of Piltover."

"Haha~! You don't have to worry about that. I left a card for the compensation for Sapphire Street. With the gold coins in your hand, the money in the card is enough, so just take it with confidence."

"Ah? That won't work. You were the one who saved me. How can I still use your money?"

"Okay, let's talk about it next time. Just consider it as my investment sponsorship. Anyway, with your ability, you will be able to make money quickly, right?"

"Hehe~! That's right!"

...

As the carriage moved forward, Ezreal fully demonstrated his curiosity as an explorer and asked Li En how he knew that he had not come out yet.

Li En did not hide anything and directly told the other party what he had sent people to pay attention to.

Such a frank attitude made Ezreal not angry at all about this surveillance-like behavior.

Although he didn't say it directly, the look he gave Li En had a feeling of "You still say you're not my fan?"

Li En did not explain too much about this. After all, for such a narcissistic person, the more he explained, the more it would be seen as a cover-up.

The carriage slowly stopped and the two men walked out. A medium-sized store with a main entrance about ten meters wide appeared before them.

Ezreal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although the museum door was closed, there were no signs of theft or vandalism.

"Li En, this is the Lemire Museum, the best museum in all of Pittsburgh, and even in the world in the future!"

Facing Ezreal's expectant gaze, Li En offered a timely supporting role.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

“Hehe~! That’s because I, the greatest explorer of the future, am providing collections for this museum!

Come quickly, today I will show you some treasures that are not on display to the public!"
