Legends of Runeterra

On the top floor of the Hefeng Industrial Building, in a 60-square-meter room.

Her long green hair was tied into two ponytails, and her face was naturally beautiful and did not need much decoration. She wore a beige slim-fitting shirt that perfectly showed off her curves, and a work badge was hung on her chest.

She was wearing a grey skirt that just reached her knees, and black stockings wrapped around her round and plump legs.

Looking at herself in the mirror and thinking of herself beautifully and capablely, Zeli, who should have been happy, felt a little weird in her heart.

She took a few steps forward. The extremely lack of friction between the smooth black stockings and the high heels made Zeli take every step very carefully, for fear that her shoes would fly off in the next second.

In addition, even though she was wearing safety pants, the cool feeling on her thighs when her skirt swayed made Zeli very uncomfortable.

"Renata, you old woman, you made me dress like this. Sooner or later, I will make you pay!"

Stamping her feet lightly, Zeli secretly denounced the culprit in her heart.

Fortunately, Zeli was very talented and quickly adapted to the shoes she had never worn before.

So she left the room and walked to a double door made of heavy metal not far away.

"Di!"

After identity verification, the door opens automatically.

"Good progress, Renata, just keep going at the speed!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing the door open, Li En turned and looked at the door.

"Zeli? Why are you dressed like this?"

"Humph! Why don't you ask your good subordinates?"

Glancing at Renata, Zeli said with a hint of grievance on her face.

"I'm sorry, sir. It's my fault!"

Looking at Renata, Li En was speechless.

This subordinate is good in every way except that he is a little too proactive sometimes.

Yesterday, Renata came to report that Zeli currently has trouble controlling her magic, and the fireworks that pop up from time to time make it impossible for her to learn mechanical technology.

So Li En asked her to arrange Zeli to his side first, and let her do some clerical work while he would take the time to teach her magic.

Unexpectedly, Renata went straight to the point and arranged the secretary suit right away.

"Okay, you go down first!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the order, Renata turned and left without even looking at Zeli.

However, Ze Li gritted her teeth as she watched the other person leaving.

"Well, I arranged for you to do the clerical work and teach you how to control your talent!"

"Okay, but can you really teach me? I know you know magic, but knowing and teaching are two different things."

Facing Zeli's curious gaze, Li En said nothing, but snapped his fingers lightly, and an egg-sized blue ball of light appeared in the air.

"Oh!"

The ball of light exploded, turning into flashes of light, outlining the image of Zeli in the air.

"Wow, that's amazing! Li En, no, boss, please teach me! Please, teacher!"

Seeing Li En's superb control with her own eyes, Ze Li immediately became excited.

"Don't get excited, I asked you to come here just to teach you, you..."

"Beep! Beep!"

Li En reached out and pressed the button on the table, and Hilco's voice came out.

"Sir, everyone has arrived and is in the conference room!"

"Okay, I'll come over now!"

After hanging up the call, Li En stood up.

"Zeli, take those documents and go to the meeting first!"

"Oh..."

Ze Li, who needed a favor, took the documents obediently and went to the meeting room.

"Click! Click!"

The high heels tapped the ground gently, making a rhythmic sound, and along with this rhythm, the green twin ponytails swayed gently from side to side.

Looking at this scene, Li En recognized Renata's aesthetic taste.

...

In the clean and bright conference room, Victor and Jayce sat on the sofa, silently drinking the tea in front of them and waiting quietly.

"Buzz!"

The door powered by electricity opened, and Li En and Ze Li walked into the meeting room.

"Hello, Jace, Victor!"

"Good day, Mr. Li En!"

"Hello, sir!"

The two of them quickly stood up and greeted Li En.

"Please take a seat. I just invited you here today to have a simple chat! Zeli, pass the documents down."

"Good boss!"

After the documents were distributed, Li En waved her away.

"You two, please take a look first!"

Upon hearing this, the two nodded and began to read the paper in front of them.

Compared to the documents given to Colin and Heimerdinger, the ones Viktor and Jayce saw were extremely abbreviated versions.

But as they read, even though a lot of content was omitted, the two young men still looked solemn.

"Huh~!" x2

Almost at the same time, they put down the documents in their hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How was it? Do you have anything to say after reading it?"

They looked at each other subconsciously, and then the more familiar Jace spoke first.

"Master Li En, with all due respect, why did you take such a big risk to invest in Zaun?"

There was no discriminatory meaning in Jayce's words, they were just full of legitimate doubts, and it was this legitimate doubt that made Victor frown slightly.

"I understand what you mean, but before I answer, I would like to ask Mr. Victor to express his doubts."

Jace nodded, and then the two of them turned their attention to Victor.

"Good sir, what exactly do you want from Zaun?"

Compared to Jayce's, Victor's question was more pointed. When he said it, Jayce beside him took a breath.

“Haha, great, I love your question!

First, regarding Jace's question, I found out from my previous research on you that Hex Crystals have long been secretly controlled by a family, and the ones circulating on the market are just the ones that have slipped through the other party's fingers."

"How can this be!!!"

When Jace heard this, his face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"Unfortunately, this is the truth, Jace. If your research yields results one day, the other party can always block you by using raw materials. In addition, I can tell you that the family is called Philos."

"Philos... Philos..."

Hearing about this cruel family at the top of Piltover, despair spread in Jayce's heart. He grabbed his hair with both hands, muttered to himself, and exuded an indescribable decadence.

"calm!"

With Li En's light shout, the sense of crisis between his brows as if he was facing the muzzle of a gun made Jace quickly come back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, Master Li En, I lost my composure!"

"No problem, just sit down first. Since I'm willing to invest, I'll naturally take care of Philos!"

"Yes, my lord!"

This time, Jace said the word "sir" willingly.

Victor, who witnessed this scene, shuddered involuntarily when Li En cast a kind look at him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Victor? Are you a little cold?"

"No, no, I'm fine!"
