Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 797 Wolf Mother's Wrist

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Come in."

Jayce pushed open the door, and saw Abesa Midarda, the Noxian general who was taller and stronger than the average man, sitting by the huge floor-to-ceiling window as usual, quietly admiring the prosperous city of Piltover.

"Lord Ambersa."

"Yeah, very good, Jace, you've been doing well lately. I wasn't wrong about you."

"Your Excellency, you have given me a reward."

"Haha~! Noxus never cares about a person's background, but only cares whether the person has talent.

Sit down, Jace, and relax."

"Yes, thank you sir."

Hearing Jace immediately omitting the title but still sitting on the sofa with a respectful attitude, Ambesa smiled.

"Jace, how many nobles have been willing to 'ally' with us so far?"

"Your Excellency, 40% of the families are willing to cooperate with us. As for the rest... I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I think it may take some time..."

As Jace was speaking, Ambesa gently raised his hand, and upon receiving the signal, he immediately quieted down.

"Forty percent is enough, Jace. The rest are either fence-sitters or pigs who are so stupid that they can't see the situation clearly. There is no need to "win over" new allies now."

"Then sir...what we are going to do next..."

"I have a very important task for you next."

"Papa~!"

Ambesa clapped her hands gently, and as Jace's pupils suddenly shrank, an agile figure suddenly walked out from the empty shadow in the corner of the room behind her.

A figure covered in a black robe, holding a document in both hands, walked silently to Jace's side, knelt on one knee and presented it to him.

"this..."

After looking at the document close at hand and then at Abesa opposite him, Jace looked a little hesitant.

"This is for you."

"Yes, my lord."

After getting permission, Jace immediately reached out and picked up the document. Although he was careful not to touch the dark figure's palm, the faint chill still came from his fingertips.

It was as if...the person in front of me was not a 'living person'.

The dark figure whose documents were taken away stood up, bowed to Ambesa, then stepped back with silent steps and disappeared into the shadows again.

Glancing at the empty dark corner, even though it looked like there were only two people in the room, Jace couldn't help but wonder how many terrifying "assassins" were hiding in the shadows.

Thinking that there might be more than one inhuman being standing behind him, Jace's hair stood on end and he moved his shoulders imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Ambesa, who was sitting opposite him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then disappeared.

"Open it and take a look. Then, memorize the contents in your mind."

"Yes, my lord."

Sitting upright on the sofa, Jace bowed slightly and then opened the file.

“Crash! Crash!”

There wasn't much content, and Jace quickly read through the few pages of paper. However, his expression became extremely solemn at this moment.

Taking a deep breath quietly, Jace slowly raised his head and looked at Abesa who was sitting opposite him.

The sunlight from the window shone on the other person. Because his facial features were extremely three-dimensional, Abe's face, which was covered with battle scars, was half illuminated by the sunlight and the other half was shrouded in a faint shadow.

The interweaving of light and shadow seemed so real and illusory that it was impossible to see the true expression on her face.

Only a pair of wolf-like sharp eyes were staring at Jace quietly.

"Lord Ambersa, this...we really..."

"Like I said, Noxus has always valued ability, not birth.

This is just a screening process. Those who are capable will naturally be able to keep up with us. As for those who are incompetent, they also have the opportunity to go with the flow, right? "

"..."

Facing Abesa's gaze, Jace was slow to respond.

Although he is a native of Piltover, Jayce has always believed what the Piltover Council and major families preach - that it was the inventors of Piltover who brought prosperity and prosperity to the entire Twin Cities.

But after experiencing frustration, he was sponsored by Li En and conducted research at Hefeng Industries established in Zaun. He came into contact with Victor, whose talent and knowledge were comparable to his own, and other scientific researchers from Zaun.

Jace, who is not a fool, vaguely realized that the prosperity of the Twin Cities was not as publicized by the parliament. This was also due to Zaun's contribution, or in other words, Zaun paid the price for the prosperity.

Perhaps it was out of shame, perhaps it was the recognition and tenderness from Mel, or perhaps it was the "jealousy" of Li En, who was not much different in age, but far superior to him in both means and status...

Yes, Jace himself was unwilling to admit it, but he knew very well that he was grateful for Li En's help, but he also had a hint of "jealousy" in his heart.

In short, with all kinds of complicated emotions, before further developing the effectiveness of Hextech crystals, Jace ended his cooperation with Hefeng Industries and came to the Midalda family.

But after joining Midalda and meeting Li En at the banquet, everything disappeared with the other party's encouragement, leaving only a deep shame.

Jayce worked day and night to study Hextech crystals, hoping that he would feel less ashamed when he saw Li En again.

Similarly, Jayce, who understood the price Zaun had to pay, found it difficult to accept the plan before him.

"In that case, Jace, you..."

"Plop~!"

"I'm very sorry, Lord Ambersa, I was a little distracted just now."

"Oh, really?"

Looking at Jace kneeling on one knee, an amused smile flashed across Ambesa's lips.

"So about this plan..."

"Sir, I am willing to take responsibility!!"

"Sure?"

"Sure!!"

"Haha~!"

"..."

After a faint laugh that did not convey any emotion, Abesa fell silent. Kneeling on one knee, Jace felt an inexplicable pressure looming over his entire body.

The only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat, and time seemed to be stretched out at this moment.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

"Yes! Thank you, sir!"

"Heh heh! Don't let me down, Jace."

"Don't worry, sir. Jace understands!"

"Get up."

"Yes, my lord."

With his legs a little numb, Jace slowly stood up, and a strong, rough and powerful hand patted his shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jace. Mel is too weak. Someone has to take this responsibility."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

"Well, be careful and don't make any mistakes. After this, I will hold a grand wedding for you and Mel."

"Yes, thank you sir!"
