Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 181 The Black Rose Blooms Again

Regarding the gunman, Marcus found no relevant clues in the Shurima Desert, but he compared the timeline and found that the time when the golden devil appeared in the bottom city was highly coincident with the attack on Patriarch Ren.

In Camille's background story, for some reason, she became a sworn enemy with Jhin, chasing and killing each other in the Ionia region all the year round,

Marcus felt that perhaps it was because the Golden Demon attacked and killed Camille's father that Camille pursued him persistently.

After taking a sip of the black tea, smacking his lips to feel the taste, he picked up the cup filled with milk and poured it all into the black tea. After stirring well, he took another sip slowly, and then nodded in satisfaction: "Well, Selena still understands me , the amount of milk is just right, not too much, not too little, but it's a pity that the tea leaves are not roasted with caramel, otherwise the taste can be improved to another level."

Seeing him like this, Camille clenched her fists tightly on her legs, and her face sank: "If you like it, I will ask the servant to make some caramel tea leaves according to your preference and send them to your home. Now report to me carefully. Case!"

"Don't worry." Marcus got up, went to the desk to get a pen and paper, wrote and drew on it, and finally handed it to Camille: "Here, let them make it according to this method, remember that the red beans need to use Io The honey sent from the Nia region is roasted on a low fire, and the honey is boiled into the inside of the beans..."

"Enough!" Camille was furious: "If you haven't found out the identity of the shooter, tell me!"

"On the bright side, I really didn't find out." Marcos nodded lightly, and Camille was almost driven away by his anger. Fortunately, she has calmed down a lot these years, and she is not as girlish as she was five years ago. live.

"But!" Marcus changed the subject, with a serious expression: "Do you still remember that I took people to the bottom city to arrest the criminals a while ago, but he jumped into the sea to escape?"

What happened in Piltover and Zaun could not escape the eyes of the Philos family. Marcus believed that the detailed information of that incident had already been sorted out on Camille's desk, and she knew it.

"According to the report of the Philos family spies, the prisoner you failed to capture is suspected to be the golden devil who escaped from Ionia?" After escaping to Zaun, I have to say that the ability of the golden devil is much stronger than I imagined."

"Look, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Marcos said with a smile: "In the upper and lower cities, there are only two gunmen who are capable of destroying Patriarch Ren's party. They all have alibi, so they cannot be criminals. Only the golden devil who suddenly appeared in Zaan is suspected of committing a major crime, and the timing of his appearance is too coincidental. I strongly suspect that his purpose of entering Zaan is to wait for an opportunity to kill Patriarch Ren was still seriously injured at the time, but I discovered his whereabouts by coincidence, and finally escaped injured."

Camille pondered for a while: "If it's just the Shakar bandits and the Golden Demon, there's no reason why father would specifically ask me not to take revenge for him, so..."

"So there is a more powerful black hand behind them!" Marcus said in a steady voice: "And this black hand behind the scenes appeared five years ago!"

Camille's eyes moved: "Black Rose?"

"That's right! Black Rose!" Marcus said in a deep voice, "It's as if the woman who pretended to be Selena disappeared out of thin air five years ago, and you haven't even been able to catch it. It can be seen how weird and inexplicable Black Rose's methods are. We can fight with this strength now!"

Camille was in a daze, and murmured, "Is this the father's revenge?"

Regarding the Black Rose organization, the Philos family had explored it before, and in the end their understanding of this organization was only on the surface, knowing that the biggest boss behind it was a person nicknamed "Pale Lady".

The rest, like who is the Pale Lady?How many people does the Black Rose organization have?Where is the main activity area?

These are all unknowns!

Being able to hide the information so perfectly shows how terrifying the energy of the black rose is!
Although the Philos family can be called the overlord in Piltover City, it is insignificant in the entire Runeterra!

There are too many organizations and too many forces that can easily destroy their family. Even if Camille wants to take revenge, she has to consider whether this move will implicate the entire family.

"Revenge must be avenged." Marcos said slowly: "The Black Rose sent someone to assassinate the owner of Rennes. The reason is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. The Philos family must have something they want. Time is not available, and it is only a matter of time before an all-out war begins."

"The question now is, what exactly is there about the Philos family that caused the Black Rose organization to covet it?" Camille mused, "Also, why did it take five years for the Black Rose to take action against the Philos family?"

Five years ago, Patriarch Ren set off for the Shurima Desert, and members of the Black Rose showed up at Feros Manor, but failed to get anything and returned without success.

At that time, it was Marcos who sabotaged their plan.

Five years later, Patriarch Ren was attacked on his way back. Among the attackers was a murderous demon from Ionia. Marcus was also the one who drove away the golden demon.

Camille's expression changed again and again, why do these things have the shadow of Marcus?
Could it be that my thoughts five years ago were correct, that he was actually the 'Pale Lady'?
Otherwise why such a coincidence?

"I can answer this question for you." Marcus said: "Think about it carefully, what was the biggest incident that happened in the Ionia region during the two times Black Rose took action against the Philos family?"

"It's... war!" Camille's thoughts were pulled back, and a flash of light flashed in her mind: "It's the war launched by the Noxus Empire against Ionia!"

"Yes."

Marcos followed the temptation: "Then you can connect the relationship between this war and the emergence of the Golden Devil and the Black Rose's actions against the Philos family?"

"Is there an inevitable relationship between the Philos family and this war?" Camille thought hard.

Five years ago, the Noxus Empire had not yet declared war on Ionia, but at that time there should have been such ambitions and preparations for war.

At that time, the most memorable thing for the Philos family was undoubtedly the Hex gem!

Five years later, the war has reached a stalemate, and the Nokdas Empire has been unable to attack for a long time, and an external force is urgently needed to participate...

wrong!

Camille thought of something, and blurted out: "Project Yuan!?"

The goal of the Black Rose organization is the "Project Source" armor secretly developed by the Philos family!
