Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 22 The good show is about to begin
"Did you know that there was a bridge rush uprising that happened six years ago?"

Silko circled around Marcos, saying as he turned, this kind of behavior of flickering in sight would bring people a strong sense of insecurity and oppression.

Marcos sensed this strangeness, and leaned his hand to the short gun pinned to his waist. The weapon can give people the confidence to fight against crises from the outside world.

"I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

He kept his countenance and didn't even mention that his parents died in the uprising that the Zaunites called 'the uprising'.

If Silko didn't find out these things, it means that his intelligence system in Piltover is still superficial, and he hasn't been able to go deep into the real power.

At this moment, Marcus was a little grateful for Piltover's decadent 'nepotism'. It was this distorted system that ensured that Piltover's real positions would not be invaded casually by outsiders.

But having said that, if Silko's penetration of Piltover had reached such a level, he wouldn't be looking for him.

To put it another way, he was Silko's first move to infiltrate the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau.

If he hadn't traveled over by himself, Shirko's plan would definitely be feasible.

pity……

This time, he was doomed to fail.

"Six years ago, a pair of young brothers in Zaun refused to resign to the oppression of Piltover, united a group of rebels, and launched an attack on the Twin Cities Bridge."

Silko slowly narrated like telling someone else's story: "A lot of people died that night, Zaunites, Piltovers, a lot of people died.

In the end, their blood merged together, and it was not even clear whose pile of corpses belonged to them. "

"Although the law enforcement officers of Piltover fought back, we rushed across the bridge under the fearless attack of the rebel army, and the center of power in Piltover was close at hand. As long as we occupy there, the rebel army will be able to gain a lot. Total victory!"

"But... Vander, that old dog, he betrayed us!
The leader who personally organized the rebel army betrayed those of us who trusted him!
He stopped the uprising, and let the rebel army retreat to Zaun, back into the gutter that the whole world cast aside, willing to be a mouse hiding in the dark environment! "

Silko stopped pacing, and his tone was filled with fascination but more of extreme unwillingness: "That was the closest Zaun came to overthrowing the rule of Piltover! It was destroyed by the old dog Vander himself!

He has ruined our hopes, he has cost countless lives in vain!

But he still won the respect of the whole black alley, leading people to linger under the oppression of Picheng. "

Marcus is not interested in the past that Silko told about. Although he didn't witness that day with his own eyes, he had already made a rough guess about the tragedy after watching the original drama, which is very similar to what Silko said.

"You called me here just to tell me this?"

Marcus pretended to be disdainful and said, "Tell a Piltover about the glorious history of your gutters?"

"I heard that you got involved with that old dog because of a case in the upper city?" Silko turned around, ignored Marcos' sarcasm, and looked at him gloomyly: "I want you to help me get this The hypocritical guy is pulled from the position of the ruler of the black alley, it is best to be sent to the still water prison and locked up for a lifetime!"

"I can't do that." Marcus shook his head: "The members of Piltover know that the four children were responsible for the explosion, so I can't use this as an excuse to arrest Vander.

What's more, even if I want to arrest him, other people in the black alley will not agree. "

"They'll agree."

Silko said firmly: "Those four children are the orphans of the rebel army, and Vander regards them as his own flesh and blood.

And this old dog has become weak since he failed to cross the bridge. He will not turn a blind eye to you arresting those four children, and he will definitely take the blame himself in the end! "

"Are you so sure?" Marcos turned around: "He can completely hand over his minions to take the blame, there is no need to come forward himself."

"I know him!"

Shirko raised his head, let the glare of the sun shine on his face, and narrowed his one eye slightly: "Fandre, that's my brother, I know him very well.

If he could do something like letting others take the blame for those children, he wouldn't be Van der, and the whole underworld wouldn't obey him. "

That's true. Marcos, who had watched the original drama, had exactly the same impression of Van der as Silko said, and he would never do anything to pull others to blame.

Otherwise, Grayson would have ended the bombing case long ago, and it wouldn't have been delayed until now.

"So... now let's talk about something more realistic."

The corners of Marcos' mouth hidden under the mask slowly turned up: "I'll help you catch Van der, what can you give me?"

Since I am a stingy and greedy person in the eyes of the other party, then let this person be real.

People without weaknesses do not exist. Only by showing some weaknesses in front of the other party can they cooperate with you with confidence.

Although Marcus is really short of money...

"I can give you everything Piltover can't!"

Silko is very satisfied with Marcos' performance, and he likes to cooperate with people who are greedy for money, because this kind of people are the easiest to satisfy.

Of course, it is also the most difficult to satisfy.

"Don't give me a bad check, Shirko, I want to see something real!" Marcos pinched his fingers and rubbed them lightly in front of his face: "If you want me to work, you have to pay half of the deposit first, otherwise I will How can I believe you?"

"The deposit will be sent to your residence."

Silko turned and walked towards the side door, waving his hand: "You should leave, let me know as soon as there is any progress, and Phil will pass the news on for you."

Fell was the underling who played the coachman.

Seeing the thin figure being gradually engulfed by the darkness behind the side door, Marcos' eyes gradually turned cold, and he turned and left the factory.

The next step is to put pressure on Van der and let him hand over.

Tonight, the four children who have nowhere to hide will show up at Fulgan's Tavern, and they have to bring some people there.

After coming out of the factory, the outside was instantly covered with dark clouds and it started to rain. This is not a happy thing for Zaun.

The rainwater will bring down the haze particles floating above the city. The haze contains a lot of chemical substances and alchemy particles. When the rainwater brings them down on people, it will cause a slight burning sensation.

"This is not a good day..."

Marcus muttered, and beckoned to Phil, who was staying not far away, to drive the carriage over.

"Go to the Law Enforcement Bureau, and then take a trip to Star Avenue, and help me get back the leather boots that I sent in the morning, and put them at my door together with the deposit."

After explaining the route, Marcos got into the carriage, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The veins on the hand of the coachman Fell holding the rein were bulging, and he finally suppressed the anger that burst out of his heart, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "I am happy to serve you."

Get out of the car, close the door, and return to your location to catch the car.

In the carriage, Marcos opened his eyes and looked out at the street through the glass on the door.

Because of the smog, even in the afternoon, the city of Zaan seems to be in the dark and needs a lot of street lighting.

Only a very small number of areas can get the blessing of the sun, and the sudden dark clouds also cover these areas, making the entire city of Zaan completely plunged into darkness.

"Good show, it's finally about to start."
