Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 42: Promise with Bakugo

The pressure lift, powered by seawater from the Sun Gate, is an important tool connecting Piltover and Zaun. Because it makes a huge noise when running, it is nicknamed "Screaming" by the people of Zaun.

"Is this 'Scream'?"

Baobao looked at the huge machine not far away, her eyes full of curiosity. She grew up in Zaun, but so far she had never sat in it or been to Piltover.

"Yes, Li En will take this to Piltover with Caitlyn and the others soon!"

"Brother Li En is going too?!"

Baobao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Li En, his face full of loss and sadness.

"Yes, I want to go see my family. Otherwise, they will be worried if I don't go back!"

Li En came to Baobao, squatted down and rubbed her head.

"But I will come back to help you deal with Vadim. Let's make a pinky promise!"

"Hook?"

"like this!"

Li En stretched out his right hand, gently hooked Baobao's little finger and shook it three times, and then their thumbs pressed together.

"This is my secret ritual. The promise I made will not change for a hundred years!"

"Yes! I believe in Brother Li En!"

Looking at the innocent and lovely Bakugo in front of him, Li En really didn't want her to become as crazy and desperate as Jinx. It was also a way to thank Vander.

"Here, I'll give you a little gift!"

Pretending to reach into his arms, Li En took out the item that Lulu had prepared for him from his magic pocket - a wooden bracelet with green gems that looked like sprouts on it.

Li En named it the 'Green Bud Bracelet'. Its effect is that it can automatically activate a shield when the wearer is injured, and it can also heal the body slightly when worn normally.

It can be considered a precious magic item. The only pity is that its size is based on that of the Yodel people, and Li En can't wear it at all.

All I can say is that Lulu's confused behavior is completely consistent with her character.

The bracelet was put on Baobao's slender wrist and it was just the right size.

"Li En, this..."

Wei could tell at a glance that the bracelet was extraordinary, and she spoke quickly.

"Okay, Wei, Baobao calls me brother, so what's wrong with me giving her a small gift?" Li En interrupted with a smile, "Baobao, what do you think? Do you like it?"

"So beautiful! I like it very much! Thank you, Brother Li En!"

Baobao carefully stroked the gem on the bracelet, his eyes full of joy. When he heard Li En's words, he immediately raised his head and responded.

She excitedly threw herself into his arms and kissed him on the side of his cheek.

"Bang bang!"

Wei's eyes widened, and she quickly stepped forward to pull her out of Li En's arms. She felt that if she waited any longer, Li En might kidnap her sister!

Caitlyn and Orianna watched with smiles on their faces. This kind of playful interaction between sisters made them, as only children, very envious.

At the same time, he was also secretly thinking about what gift to prepare after returning to Piltover to thank the Vandall family.

...

With Baobao's love and Li En's insistence, Wei finally agreed to let her accept this precious gift.

With Baobao looking reluctant, Caitlyn paid the bill and the three of them boarded the elevator to Piltover.

-----------------

The first elevator in the morning was filled with Zaun people, just like the rush hour in Li En’s previous life.

There were even people hanging outside the elevator. The cruelty revealed in this funny behavior made Li En feel puzzled.

He sighed silently, lowered his head and met Orianna's gaze, and they both saw the reluctance in each other's eyes.

Orianna was slightly stunned and turned her head away hurriedly, her impression of Li En rising again.

Taking advantage of Caitlyn's identity, Li En and the other two took the elevator exclusively for Piltover nobles. It was comfortable and safe, without any noise or huge shaking.

...

As soon as the three of them got off the elevator, they heard Orianna scream.

"father!"

Li En followed Orianna's gaze and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man, a typical upper-class Piltover man, standing not far away.

The other person's hair was a little messy and his eyes were obviously bloodshot, obviously he had not rested all night.

"Anna, my baby girl!"

Colin Leveck's voice trembled slightly. Since his lover passed away, his daughter has been everything to him.

The night Orianna disappeared, he felt like the sky was falling. Now that he saw his daughter was safe and sound, his nerves that had been tense all night finally relaxed.

A slight feeling of dizziness came over him and he staggered a few steps.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Orianna hurried over to her father and put his arm around her shoulders.

Holding his daughter's shoulders, Colin Leveck took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, Anna, I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!"

"Dad...I'm sorry..."

Looking at her father's weak appearance, Orianna was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Dad is really okay!"

Seeing that his daughter was about to cry, Colin simply demonstrated a bodybuilding move.

"Dad~!"

As a father who was a famous inventor, Orianna found it both funny and embarrassing to see him make such silly gestures just to amuse himself.

Her face flushed as she stopped her father from continuing to gesture, as her good friend and benefactor was watching them!

"Okay, okay, I won't do it anymore! Anna, what happened last night? Why didn't you come back all night, and who is this person..."

"It's like this, Mr. Colin. Yesterday we planned to go to Zaun for a walk, but we got lost and missed the last elevator. It was Li En who arranged for us to rest for the night!"

Caitlin spoke first and introduced Li En's identity.

"I see! Thank you so much, Mr. Li En!"

Colin knew it wasn't that simple, but he still nodded, expressed his sincere gratitude and bowed to Li En.

Li En also returned the greeting: "You are too polite. It's just a piece of cake!"

"By the way, Mr. Colin, may I ask why you are here so early in the morning?"

Unable to suppress her uneasiness, Caitlin asked.

Orianna kept yesterday's action a secret from everyone, but Mr. Colin showed up at the elevator early in the morning.

The other party is just a famous inventor. The Li Weike family, which consists of only a father and a daughter, is not a large family force and does not have enough manpower to find the traces.

Caitlin felt a little uneasy when she realized the truth. After all, if she was not discovered, she could still make the excuse that she stayed out at Orianna's house.

But if she was discovered, Caitlin felt a dull headache when she thought of her mother who had always been strict with her.

"Good morning, Miss Caitlin! I was the one who notified Mr. Levik!"

A familiar voice sounded behind her. Caitlin sighed in her heart and turned her head helplessly: "Good morning, Housekeeper Joyna!"

The middle-aged woman, who had an ordinary appearance but exuded a capable temperament, looked at Caitlin.

Seeing that she looked tired but in good spirits, he relaxed his frown.

Joyna said calmly: "It seems that you had an unforgettable night last night! Please follow me, the lady is waiting for you!"
