Legends of Runeterra

In the carriage, Orianna sat obediently next to Li En.

But as the carriage got closer and closer to the elevator, she began to look at Li En frequently, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

Noticing the girl's strange behavior, Li En asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"

"Um...that...Lee En..."

"Um?"

Orianna gritted her teeth and asked, "Why...why does Seraphine call you...brother?"

"Hey, you're talking about that! It's just a name. Seraphine said it would make her calmer, so that's why she calls me that!"

“Is…Is that so?”

Orianna put her hair behind her ears, tilted her face and asked carefully: "Then...then can I also...call you brother?"

This idea came to Li En when he saved himself from Mundo for the second time.

Originally, Orianna was not in a hurry at all, until today, when her good friend Seraphine started calling Li En "brother" all the time after only a few days of classes with him, which made her inexplicably feel annoyed.

Especially during the time when she was waiting for the class to end, Orianna felt like she was spending an eternity sitting outside.

Now in the carriage, the girl mustered up the courage to finish her words, and when she saw that Li En had not responded yet, she lowered her head dejectedly, like an abandoned kitten.

"sorry..."

Orianna stood up and just wanted to leave the carriage immediately.

"Wait! Of course!"

Li En grabbed the girl.

"Really...really?"

"Of course! I just didn't react for a moment!"

"Then... Li En... Brother!"

"Yes! Can I call you Anna from now on?"

"Yes! Brother Li En!"

...

Watching Orianna walking happily back to her workshop, Li En glanced at the bond value on the panel that had increased by 6%, and the joy in his eyes was hard to conceal.

"Calling me brother makes me so much richer! What if I call you dad..."

Li En shook his head, trying to dispel the outrageous thoughts in his mind.

-----------------

The next day, he and Baobao beat up the naughty kids around them.

Li En cooked personally and made a feast with the top-quality seafood specially supplied by Upper City.

Under Fandel's almost jealous gaze, I happily enjoyed the explosive shrimp peeling service.

After eating and drinking, Li En took Mondo and headed towards the meeting place agreed with Hilco.

As for Renata, she had already gone there first.

...

Although many Zaun people are reluctant to admit it, the farther away from Piltover, the more chaotic the environment in Zaun becomes.

In the Zaun sinking area, more than half of the alchemical pipelines in the two cities and their discharge outlets are concentrated in this area.

A thick, moist alchemical haze hung in the air, and signs of corrosion could be seen on the surrounding buildings.

The sewage flowing in the river is colorful and even emits a faint glow.

In such a harsh environment, except for lunatics and drugged people, even native Zuan people are unwilling to approach this area.

Therefore, this place has become the best place for some invisible light transactions.

The carriage slowly stopped, and seeing a familiar figure coming down, Renata walked quickly forward.

"Lord Li En!"

"Ok!"

The sound passing through the mask was a bit dull. Li En was not afraid of the alchemical poison gas, but he hated the stench.

"How are the arrangements going?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for you to come in and start!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Following Li En respectfully, Renata smiled slightly when she saw him and his four men all wearing the filtering masks she had prepared.

"Oh!"

The door was pushed open by the guards, and Li En walked in slowly.

A thin figure sat at one end of the long table, leaning back in his chair with his upper body shrouded in shadow.

"..."

Li En sat on the chair and looked at the other person quietly.

After a moment of silence, the figure leaned forward, revealing a skinny face with cold eyes, looking cruel and ruthless.

"Hehe! Are you the one behind Renata? A little brat who has just been weaned?"

The scar on his left cheek moved when he sneered, making Hilco look even more hideous.

"Haha, age doesn't determine everything. Some people can only live in the gutter even when they are in their prime, right?"

"Wow~!"

As soon as Li En finished speaking, the men behind Hilco drew their weapons, their faces filled with anger.

Hilco just waved his hand casually, and his men put away their weapons and returned to their original positions. Seeing this, Li En's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Humph, you are so naive. What do you rely on? The family behind you?"

"That's right! Just because my name is Midalda!"

Hilco, who originally wanted to find out the other party's background and then rob them, immediately gave up the idea after hearing Li En reveal the name without hesitation.

"Okay, let's end this meaningless conversation. Did you bring the money?"

Li En snapped his fingers, and the guard behind him put the suitcase on the table and opened it.

"The face value of one thousand gold coins per piece, a total of thirty thousand gold coins, can be exchanged at any bank in Piltover!"

Seeing the glittering gold vouchers, Hilco did not delay and immediately asked his men to bring all the medicines over.

After both parties checked and confirmed everything was correct, the transaction was completed quickly.

"I'm sorry for offending you before. Mr. Li En is a straightforward person. We'll have a chance to cooperate again in the future. Goodbye!"

"Mr. Hilco, please stay! I have a business deal, I wonder if you are interested!"

"Ok?"

Hilco stopped and looked at Li En with some curiosity.

"Mr. Li En, please speak!"

"30,000 gold coins, buy your life from me! Mondo!"

"boom!"

"Waaagh!"

A two-meter-and-a-half-meter-tall purple-green humanoid monster smashed through the wall, grabbed an alchemical mutant, and kneaded him into a ball of flesh and blood like dough.

"Fuck it, hit me!"

After coming to his senses, Hilco took out the alchemical pistol and was about to shoot Li En, but he found that Li En had already hidden behind the guards and waved at him with a smile.

"Damn, those bastards from Piltover!"

Hilco spat, and quickly hid behind the cover under the protection of his men.

"waaagh! Mondo is the best doctor!"

Under the gunfire, Mundo tore the alchemical cyborg in front of him into pieces. Warm blood and alchemical liquid splashed all over his face, and Mundo roared excitedly.

...

As the gunshots and screams behind him became less and less frequent, Hilco once again quickened his pace to escape.

"boom!"

The bullet hit the ground in front of Hilco accurately, forcing him to stop.

"What a mess, Mr. Hilco!"

Under the protection of the guards, Li En slowly walked out from the corner.

“Huff! I’m screwed. Thirty thousand gold coins are yours!”

"Not enough, that's the price just now!"

"What do you want?"

"I want you!"

Li En's words made Hilco stunned, and then he immediately realized that the other party was asking for too much and wanted to swallow up his power.

"..."

Just as Xierko was hesitating, Renata came to Li En and said respectfully: "Master Li En, I have a suggestion!"

"Oh, tell me!"

"Yes, sir, my suggestion is... the banker kills all!"

"Hey!"

As soon as Renata finished speaking, the masks of Li En and others immediately released a large amount of dark red potion.

Especially Li En, fearing that the dosage was not enough, Renata took a tube of medicine and stabbed it into his arm.

"Puff! Puff!"

Several people fell to the ground, only Renata was still standing.
