Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 193
The wound is like a blooming flower! ?
Hearing this familiar description, Marcus's hairs stood on end: "Ike met the Golden Demon!?"

"Golden Devil?" Clegg asked in surprise, "Is it the guy we went to the bottom city to capture before, and finally jumped into the sea to escape?"

"That's right, it's him." Marcus nodded.

He never expected that after the golden demon escaped from Zaan, he would be met by Ike.

"Damn it!" Wei said bitterly, "I should have gone with you at that time, maybe I could have caught him!"

"The cunning and forbearance of the Golden Devil is not as simple as you think." Marcus said: "Craig was there at the time, and he saw with his own eyes how the Golden Devil escaped after being injured. There are other means of escape."

How could a cruel artist who was able to trick so many people around in Ionia, and finally escaped unscathed, gain his reputation in vain?

If it weren't for Marcus's foresight advantage, coupled with the support of the two heroes, Jinx and Catherine, they might not have been able to hurt the Golden Demon at that time.

"Golden Demon." Wei roared angrily in a low voice, "I've made a note of this grudge!"

"Weird." Jinx looked up at Marcus's face and asked in a low voice, "I... can I work in the research institute?"

Marcus's expression moved: "Of course, Professor Heimerdinger will be very happy if he knows that you are willing to engage in scientific research."

When Heimerdinger was teaching in Stillwater Prison, he was full of praise for Jinx's talent in hands-on inventions, and expressed to Marcus many times that he wanted to take Jinx to Piltover Institute of Advanced Technology for further studies.

Was ruthlessly rejected by Marcus.

At that time, Jinx's identity was very sensitive, and the little girl's hands-on ability came entirely from her own rich imagination. Letting her go to the Academy of Science and Technology to study would not only make her feel boring, but also easily restrict some of her nature.

Of course, going to a science and technology college for further study also has advantages that cannot be compared with free development, such as being able to receive a comprehensive and systematic education in a science and technology college.

"I'm not trying to make that old man happy." Jinx buried her head in Marcus's arms and whispered, "I just want to help."

Marcus: "..."

It's a good thing that Heimerdinger didn't hear this, otherwise what a blow he would have suffered?

Milo hesitated and said, "I... can I go?"

"You can't!" Jinx refused before Marcus said, "You're too stupid."

"Me? I'm stupid?" Melo pointed to his nose and proudly said, "I'm the most powerful locksmith in Piltover. The master key I invented can open most of the locks in Piltover!"

When mentioning the master key, Jinx's eyes flashed with panic, and she interrupted quickly: "Anyway, you are not suitable to work in the research institute. Wouldn't it be nice for you to be a law enforcement officer with Wei? She needs you more."

"I don't care." Wei raised his eyebrows: "Originally the most important task was to find the little one, but now that the little one shows up, I'm usually free. It doesn't matter if I have Milo for help."

"Look." Jinx made a grimace, "Even Wei hates you."

Wei: "???"

Did I mean that just now?

"Jinx!" Milo was furious, and unconsciously raised his voice a little, just in time to be heard by a passing nurse, turned around and reprimanded: "Quiet, don't make loud noises in the hospital!"

Melo immediately stopped talking.

Jinx took the opportunity to taunt: "Now even passers-by despise you."

"You..." Melo pointed at Jinx, staring angrily, but there was nothing he could do with her.

Jinx was right about one thing, or Melo herself thought that among the four, she seemed to be the most useless.

Wei has a high force value, and she is the well-deserved eldest sister among the four. Jinx may not listen to what she says is rebellious, but he and Craig generally dare not object.

Craig is not as powerful as Wei, but more stable than Wei, not as impulsive and aggressive as her. Entrusting him to do many tasks is the best choice.

Although Jinx is a bit unreliable, she is very talented.

Whether it's superb shooting skills or excellent hands-on ability, even one or two ordinary people such as melee combat are no match for her.

Only myself, whether high or low, seems to have nothing outstanding.

The only skill he is good at is not so good on the table.

Yes, after living in Picheng for a long time, Melo's mentality has changed unknowingly.

When he was a child, he felt that he could open all the locks, and he would be very proud and proud.

But now, when it comes to such abilities, he is a little ashamed.

It's not glorious to talk about things like petty theft.

What's more, I still have the skin of a law enforcement officer in Picheng, and it always feels weird to do this kind of thing.

"If you really want to work in a research institute, it's not impossible." Marcos pondered for a moment and said, "With your expertise, maybe you can try to develop some safes."

Things like safes are relatively popular in the high-end market as long as they are safe enough.

After all, with the virtues of the nobles of Piltover, who doesn't need to hide some invisible people's privacy?A safe will take care of most troubles.

Now the most advanced safety device in Piltover is in the Zodiac Vault. Back then, all the craftsmen in Piltover gathered together to build a super vault with gears and transmission shafts as the main body.

Its security can be said to be several eras ahead of other city-states in Runeterra. As long as there is no special ability, it is basically impossible to break through the treasury.

But this kind of existence has certain particularities, not every noble has the ability to build it privately.

Most of them have created some secret rooms and other spaces at home to store important items, but in fact they have serious flaws in terms of security.

So at this time, if a safer, smaller, stronger, and simpler safe appears on the market, it will definitely be sought after by these nobles.

And the price of something like a safe will not be low.

When those nobles have secrets worth 100 gold wheels, they won't mind spending another [-] million gold wheels to properly keep these secrets.

Hearing that Marcus agreed to work in the research institute, Milo couldn't believe it at first, and then he was overjoyed. He looked at Jinx with a provocative look: "Who said I was disliked just now? I'm just not good enough to be suitable. It's just a place!"

"Hmph." Jinx didn't bother to pay attention to him, wrinkled her nose, and buried her head in Marcus' arms again.

Everyone waited outside the operating room for a full ten hours. During the period, medical staff occasionally rushed in and out of the operating room. Marcos took the opportunity to ask about the progress of the operation, but the other party just shook his head silently, as if he was not optimistic.

Seeing this scene, several people felt chills in their hearts.

Marcus is even more distressed, this is a wizard who can be released to the time domain in the future!

If it just fell like this, the Golden Demon would not be able to pay for such a sin even if he died ten thousand times!
