Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor
Chapter 162 A Big Meal
Chapter 162 A Big Meal
"I've been wanting to ask you since I left the city, why don't you cross the sea from Picheng Pier?"
Wei followed Marcos to a restaurant, and just opened the door, the noise of pushing and changing glasses stopped suddenly, and all the hunters turned their heads to stare at them, and calmed down a lot.
Marcus frowned a few times. The law enforcement officer's reputation is not only bad in the bottom city, but even ordinary hunters are not welcome to see them in the place where they live.
The hostility in those bones was felt from the moment he got off the car.
These are all problems left over from history. Even if Marcos wants to reverse the mess left by the former law enforcement officers in a short time, he will have no way to start.
I can only ignore the eyes of those people as much as possible.
Leading Wei and Clegg to a corner to sit down, he explained: "I've been targeted recently, and it's easy to startle the snake by leaving the official channel."
As he said that, he turned his head to look at the door, and there came in two ordinary-looking men, dressed very plainly, like the hunters here.
Clegg also saw it, looked at him and lowered his voice: "These two are not like ordinary people, they have a fierce spirit."
"Yeah." Marcus nodded indistinctly, "They followed us when we were still in the city, don't worry about them, we'll do it later!"
"Kill?" Clegg showed a resisting expression, "There's no need to be so desperate, is there?"
"Absolutely?" Marcus tapped the corner of the table lightly: "If you knew how many lives they had in their hands, you probably wouldn't think so."
At this time, the waiter who greeted the guests finally came over: "What do you want?"
Marcus randomly ordered a table of dishes, almost all of which were rarely seen in Picheng. Most of them could only be sold at the gathering point because they were difficult to preserve.
The price is not expensive, it only cost [-] gold rounds for a table of dishes enough for three people.
The waiter turned around and sent the list to the kitchen, and Wei Cai smiled mockingly: "I thought law enforcement officers could really enforce the law under your leadership, but I didn't expect you, the sheriff, to take the lead in abusing lynching."
Marcus has long been used to Wei's attitude towards him, but he doesn't mind: "In fact, the upper city is almost the same except that the upper city looks a little brighter than the lower city.
Using power for personal gain, bending the law for personal gain, shielding criminals, raising soldiers to be self-respecting...
As long as there are actions in your bottom city, there are many in the upper city.
Those two people are thugs who are raised by a congressman to do dirty work. I still have more than 200 of such people's identity information in my office cabinet. "
"You have their identity information, you should also know what crimes they have committed?" Clegg asked, "Why didn't you arrest them?"
"I really want to." Marcus smiled wryly: "But how long have I been the sheriff? My ass is not hot! Even if I can secure this position, so what? Those people are backed by congressmen, people think Removing me is just a decree."
"The world of adults is very complicated, and many things cannot be solved as simply as you take for granted."
The Law Enforcement Bureau is an authority under the parliament. Even though Marcos is now the sheriff, he is still constrained by several members of parliament in terms of official affairs.
On the contrary, Hextech is a private enterprise, and those congressmen can't seek it openly.
Otherwise, all craftsmen and merchants active in Piltover will definitely rebel because of this.
Just like Mel once asked Marcos: What are congressmen afraid of?
The answer given by Marcus is: fear of rebellion by the people.
It is understandable to seek some "reasonable" interests from the major chambers of commerce with the advantage of status.
Those chambers of commerce were even more than happy to pay several councilors in this way.
But you let those congressmen directly touch the fundamentals of businessmen?
"So you're being targeted by the council now?" Wei understood something. There was no one else who could make Marcus so careful, except for a few people in the highest power center of Piltover.
"When Van der controlled the black alley, he was also checked and balanced by many alchemy barons." Marcus said: "It's normal for a wood to be beautiful in the forest wind."
"But I don't think you're worried at all?" Wei asked, "And you dare to run outside the city?"
"What's the point?" Marcos stopped when he saw the waiter coming with food, and continued after all the dishes were served: "There is another saying that 'soldiers come to cover the water and the soil', why should I go out of the city?" Isn't it creating opportunities for them?"
Marcos was sure Hoskar and the others did not dare to act rashly. If they failed to completely put themselves to death, they might have to face the anger of the Philos family.
From the very beginning, he dragged the Philos family into the big ship of Hextech, in order to prevent today's situation.
Otherwise, he would lose his mind and go crazy, and give up a large amount of benefits to the Philos family?
Before the appearance of the Hexgate, the largest transportation hub in Piltover was the "Sun Gate" controlled by the councilors, and the right to speak about business was tightly controlled by them.
However, as soon as the Hexgate appeared, it instantly replaced the "Sun Gate" as a faster transportation hub, but the right to speak fell from the parliament to the Hex Technology Research Institute.
Such a change of situation will have an unimaginable impact on the congressmen, so they will definitely not sit back and watch the huge benefits that the Hexagate can generate.
Originally, Hoskar and the others feared that Hextech had shares in the Philos family, so they did not dare to act rashly.
This is what Marcos expected when he first went to Ferros Manor.
It's just that he never imagined that one day Stevan would get mixed up with Hoskall and the others.
The new-generation 'heir' of the Philos family gave confidence to several congressmen, and then began to think of ways to seize the shares of Hex Technology from himself.
"Can I ask you the purpose of going to the Shurima Desert?" Vi finally failed to overcome her curiosity and asked this question.
Marcus glanced at her, but didn't answer: "I'll tell you what you should know, don't ask what you shouldn't know."
"Have a meal."
With a wave of his hand, Marcos took the lead in grabbing the rotten big bone stick stewed on one of the plates, and gnawed it regardless of the appearance.
Wei and Clegg lived in the bottom city since they were young, and even though they received an upper-city education in Stillwater Prison, they didn't have much 'aristocratic demeanor'. When they ate, their movements were very rough, just to fill their stomachs quickly.
Although Marcus is from Piltover, his soul comes from another world, and he will not stick to the so-called etiquette.
So their table became a strange one. The hunters stared at them dumbfounded, wondering if the law enforcement uniforms these three guys were wearing were stolen, right?
A gust of wind blew away the remaining clouds, and the three people swept away all the dishes on the table.
jingle.
The last bone was thrown into the empty plate by Marcus, he pretended to wipe his mouth, touched his bulging stomach and sighed contentedly: "Come on, go for a walk with me, digest it!"
The three paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.
The two people who followed them into the restaurant before checked out at the same time and followed them out.
As soon as they left the door, they found that Marcus and the others did not go back to the hotel, but wandered all the way to the mountain road not far away, and actually went out for a walk.
The two looked at each other and followed quietly.
……
After a while, the sky finally became completely dark, and the gathering place was lit up, and the three of Marcus came back from the mountain road.
Just followed them and the tail never appeared again.
That night, the nearby wolves found a big meal following the smell of blood.
