Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 125 North of Leather City
"Do you know which direction he's going?"

Marcus asked, although he didn't care about Stevan's life or death, but the other's unreasonable actions still aroused his vigilance.

"According to the information I got, he took people to the north." Camille continued to worry, "I shouldn't have told him that, otherwise he wouldn't have left home suddenly."

"Oh?" Marcus' expression changed: "What did you tell him?"

"I……"

Camille sighed: "I told him that my father said before he died, let us not take revenge, because the enemy is someone we can't afford."

Someone you can't afford?
Marcus frowned. He only knew that Patriarch Renn was attacked and died of his injuries.

But who the attacker was, he didn't know.

From Camille's background story, the owner of Renn should have died when Camille was 25 years old when he was attacked by a group of enhanced Zaun thugs while traveling together.

But now that Zaun is under Sirko's leadership, human body enhancement technology has only achieved preliminary results and has not yet achieved large-scale assembly.

Moreover, Silko has no reason to provoke the Philos family, and it is absolutely impossible for Zaun to be behind the scenes.

Marcus looked out the window, thinking in his heart.

Since the mastermind behind the scenes is neither Silko nor Zaun, who could it be?
Who will attack the most powerful Philos family in Piltover at this time?
What do they want to achieve?
……

financial resources?

The Philos family currently holds the most valuable things in Piltover - hex gems and artificial hex crystals.

No matter what plan the people behind the scenes have adopted, the ultimate goal is likely to want to steal the core industry of the Philos family.

And the country that needs the most financial resources is undoubtedly the country that has been in a state of war in recent years...

Noxus!

According to Marcus's understanding of this country, the current supreme leader of the Noxus Empire should still be Brown Darkwill, not the later Trifali Council of Three.

As for who is behind the coveting of the Philos family, combined with the events five years ago, it is not difficult to infer that it is the pale lady in the three-person Trifali Council in the future.

That is, "Trickster Fairy——LeBlanc"!
LeBlanc is a very complicated person, she seems to know many secrets, she has great powers, and her hands and eyes are open to the sky.

Even after reading the other person's life, Marcus can't guarantee that he knows her well enough.

He only knew that the thing LeBlanc was most interested in in his life was actually the skull left behind by the great man "Iron Armor Wraith - Mordekaiser" who founded the Endless Fortress.

And everything she did seemed to be a foreshadowing for her own acquisition of this thing.

So why is LeBlanc planning several raids on the Philos family?

And apart from the attack on Ryan Fellowes and his party a few days ago, which caused heavy losses to the Fellowes family, it seems that other incidents were innocuous.

Marcus pondered carefully. After connecting all the events together this time, he found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

He thought LeBlanc's actions against the Pharos family were about gaining financial power.

But looking at it now, it seems that the facts are not so simple.

Rather than saying that LeBlanc covets the financial power of the Ferros family, it might be better to say... She is promoting the changes of the Ferros family?
The most obvious change in the Philos family is that Camille came to power and became the person with the most say in the Philos family.

Although Camille decided to let Stewan take over the family, Camille herself was aware of the fact that Stewan was not capable enough.

So it is impossible for her to hand over all the rights before she thinks that Stevan is capable enough to handle family affairs.

Perhaps this is what caused Stevan to run away from home?
Ok?
Marcus looked out of the window and moved slightly.

Stevan ran away from home, this seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill him!
Do you want to take this opportunity to let Shirko send someone to find Stevan, and take advantage of this opportunity to kill him outside?
Marcus pondered the feasibility, but finally rejected the idea.

If you want to kill Stevan, and you don't want to tear yourself apart with the Philos family, you must not do it lightly.

If Stevan died during this escape, Camille will definitely investigate to the end!

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Marcus can't guarantee that his plan will not leave any loopholes. If Camille catches the loophole, the two will turn their faces, and it will definitely be a devastating blow to HexTech.

So only when Stevan himself dies, and he pushes the boat behind, can he be sure that nothing will go wrong.

Marcus's brain was running fast, and he seemed to reason about a lot of things.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that all these things were information that I already knew.

The most important thing now is that Camille is worried about Stewan, and what is the goal of Stewan running away from home?

Why did he go north of Piltover?
what's there?
Grand Barrier?

Walju Mountains?
These places are off the beaten track, what do you get by going there?
Marcus tapped his fingers on the window sill of the carriage, and came to a conclusion that even he couldn't believe.

Could it be that Stephen wanted to cross these two steep mountains and head to the Noxus Empire on the other side?

Does he want to use the power of Noxus to help him seize the power of the Philos family from Camille?
If this kid really thinks that way, then it's simply not something that can be explained by a brain hole.

Is Noxus something the average person can work with?
They are a pack of hungry wolves, and anyone who dares to cooperate with them, even if they can achieve their goals in the end, will be eaten by Noxus for the fattest piece of meat.

In the end, all that is left is the leftovers that they despise.

Ok……

Marcus thought of this, and suddenly reacted.

Just because Stevan's pampered fellow can endure hardships and dangers, crossing the rugged terrain and rolling mountains?
That's too high a view on him.

"don’t worry."

Marcus stopped tapping on the window sill, and said lightly: "Your brother may just go out to relax, and he will be back in a few days."

He didn't have the nerve to say that with Stevan's virtue, he couldn't be too far away from Piltover.

This little young master couldn't bear that kind of suffering at all.

"hope so."

Camille's sad face remained undiminished.

She cared but was confused, ignoring Stevan's pampered temperament, even if she ran away from home, she couldn't go far.

But even Marcus had said so, and she could only hope that Stevan would come back sooner.

Stevan was one of the relatives she cared about the most. In the few days after her father passed away, if something happened to her younger brother, Camille really didn't know if she could bear such a blow.

"If you care about it, you will be in chaos." Marcus laughed: "I can guarantee that within three days, Stevan will definitely come back on his own initiative.

Maybe you'll be able to see him at dawn today. "

If Stevan could survive outside for three days, Marcos would not mind giving him a thumbs up and admiring him.

Compared with Stevan running away from home, Marcos wants to go back to his residence as soon as possible, and study the "source plan" opened after the system upgrade.
