Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 106 Confession
"What just happened?!"

Jess ran over from not far away, panicked.

He thought who was making trouble in the Hex Technology Research Institute and exploded the Hex Gem.

After experiencing it himself five years ago, he was most afraid that this kind of thing would happen to him again.

"Don't panic, it's just a small demonstration." Marcus calmly waved his hand to calm Jess down.

However, immediately afterwards, Jess did not notice the hex crystal in Victor's hand for the first time, but instead focused on Wei who had just arrived.

In other words, looking at Wei's iconic pink hair.

A sense of familiarity came to Jess's mind instantly, he frowned and asked, "Did we meet somewhere?"

"no!"

Vi recognized Jace at first glance, and didn't even blink when she lied.

"No, no, no, we must have seen it somewhere!" The more Jess looked at it, the more familiar Wei looked, but he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't remember where he saw it.

Catherine squinted at Jess: "Come on, popular lover, the way to strike up a conversation is too old-fashioned, girls don't like it now."

They were friends before, and knew each other's personalities better. Catherine thought that Jess had taken a fancy to Wei, so she came out to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.

"Catherine, I'm not trying to strike up a conversation, I really think I've seen her somewhere!" Seeing his old friends, Jess misunderstood himself, especially since he had a little affection for Catherine, so he immediately wanted to explain clearly.

He frowned, trying to think of something.

Clegg was relatively calm, knowing that he couldn't continue to add trouble to Marcos at this time, so he tried to take someone back to the law enforcement bureau before Jess recalled something, stepped forward and pulled Wei away and said, "Wei, we..."

'Vi, hurry up! '

A voice pierced through Jess's memory. He finally remembered everything the moment he heard the name. He pointed at Wei and shouted, "You are the ones responsible for the explosion in my studio five years ago!"

"..." Catherine was deeply speechless. The studio was funded by her family. She met Wei and the others five years ago, and she didn't react so much after knowing their identities.

Jace's appearance made her feel pompous.

In fact, the impact of that incident on the two was incomparable.

For Catherine, an explosion would at most cause a little financial loss to the Gilaman family.

But for Jess, the explosion almost ruined his life!
He was nearly banished from Piltover by the Piltover Council!
"I just said where I met you. It turned out that we met on the day the studio exploded!"

Five years ago, when the studio exploded, Jess saw Wei's vague figure before he fell into a coma. At that time, he didn't know who was yelling for Wei to go away.

"One, two, three, four..." Jess counted the people who followed Marcus with his eyes, which coincided with the number of suspects in the bombing five years ago.

In an instant, Jess felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and pointed at Marcus with trembling fingers: "You...the bombing case must have something to do with you, right?"

He saw that the four of Wei and Marcos seemed to have a good relationship, and thought that Marcos was the mastermind behind the bombing.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Marcos said with a light smile, "I solved that case back then, do you think it has anything to do with it?"

"So he's that fat sheep fool?" Jinx interjected, "All the stuff we got from your house sank in the Piltover River, if you want to get it back, we can give you an address, you Go get it."

"take?"

Jess laughed angrily: "You call the act of taking things away without the owner's consent 'taking'? You are thieves! You are robbers!"

"Hey!"

This remark aroused Milo's dissatisfaction. He stepped forward and pushed away Jess, who was approaching several people because of his agitation: "Don't say it so harshly, if you really say it, you caused this incident first. If it weren't for you Buying things in Bensuo's store without bargaining and being targeted by Xiao Budian, how could we go to your house to steal... take those things?"

"what?"

Hearing Milo's fallacy, Jess couldn't believe it: "I'm the victim, the logic of all your Dicheng people is like this... Is it inexplicable?"

"Cough~" Victor coughed lightly, he is also from the bottom city, and Jess' words brought him into it.

"I didn't say what you mean, Victor." Jess apologized to Victor, and then looked at Marcus: "Why are they here? And they are wearing the equipment of the Piltover law enforcement officer? They shouldn't be In Stillwater Prison?"

He hoped Marcus could give him a reasonable explanation.

"As you can see..." Marcus was about to speak, but was cut off by Wei.

"Let me explain."

She stepped forward and said: "What happened five years ago has already happened and cannot be undone, and we have paid an unbearable price for that. If you want to continue to pursue accountability, I can only say that we are already paying for what happened five years ago." Things to pay off..."

She tugged on her law enforcement uniform and promised Marcos to become Piltover law enforcement, and it was Vi who atones for the bombing.

"What price did you pay? You were imprisoned for five years, and now you come out and become a law enforcement officer?" Jess only knew that the suspect in the bombing was arrested, but he didn't know what Marcos did later.

Even Catherine didn't tell him about it.

"us……"

A trace of pain flashed deep in Wei's eyes: "We lost our most important family members because of this, and more than one."

Van der and Benso are both father figures to them.

Now that Benso died and Van der was missing, it was all because of the consequences of the four of them sneaking into the upper city and stealing on their own initiative.

If he could have expected the ending to be like that earlier, Wei would never have brought Bang Bang to do that.

"Lost..." Jess's angry tone froze suddenly.

He's a kind person by nature and has been close to losing a loved one more than once, and he knows it doesn't feel good.

Looking at Wei's expression of grief at this moment, he suddenly felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Marcus said at the right time: "I give them a chance because they are good enough and not bad in nature."

He pointed to Jinx and Craig, who had been at the Hextech Institute long before Jace recognized Vi.

"Originally, I could have prevented you from meeting each other, but I didn't. I just hope that you, Jess, can forgive the mistakes they made five years ago and accept them again."

Marcus originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to bring up this matter with Jess again, but he didn't expect that because Milo thought he was smart, he came to the Hex Research Institute with Wei, and this confession was brought forward.

"..." Jess struggled for a while, before leaving a sentence: "Let me calm down."

Then turn around and walk out of the Institute.
