Legends of Runeterra

Akali clenched her fists and temporarily made a note of the matter in the little notebook in her heart.

"By the way, Akali, why are you here with Shen? Will Master Meimu agree to your participation in this operation?"

"Hehe~! Mother, she..."

"Master Meimu certainly didn't agree. It was Akali who took advantage of us not paying attention and forced me to follow him into the spirit world while I was using my secret technique."

"Shen! Didn't we agree that as long as I can successfully sneak attack Jie, you will help me keep this a secret?"

Akali, whose secrets were exposed by Shen in front of Li En, was so angry that she didn't even call him "senior brother" and directly told him the agreement between the two.

When Zed, who was instructing Kayn on the side, heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Shen.

"Haha~! So this was Senior Brother Shen's idea?"

"Robbery..."

"Okay everyone, now that Akali is here, let her stay with us like Kayn.

It's just a 'Golden Demon', it can't cause any trouble!"

"Hehe~! I knew you would allow me, Li En. You're not like mother and Shen!"

"Okay Lee En."

Shen nodded, then looked at Akali.

"But Akali, you must stay with us during this operation. You are not allowed to leave without permission!"

"Oh~! Got it, Brother Shen!"

Akali waved her hands and nodded her little head, but her eyes couldn't help but fall on Li En who was standing beside her.

"Hehe~! What 'Golden Demon', 'Iron Demon', I'm not interested when Li En is here!"

When Shen saw Akali's little movement, the worries in his heart slowly subsided.

But new worries arose again - looking at Akali's appearance, Shen doubted very much whether he could still bring her back.

However, he was only troubled for a while before Shen suppressed his worry.

The purpose of this trip is to find the cruel and cunning 'Golden Demon', this 'heartache'-like existence, and Shen is always thinking about completely eliminating it.

"Let's go without further ado and capture the 'Golden Devil'."

"Okay, Lee En!"

Li En was the first to leave the hotel, and everyone stood up and followed him out.

As she passed the counter, Akali flipped her wrist and a small bottle fell into her hand.

She uncorked the bottle, passed under the waitress's nose, left enough money in coins, and ran quickly to Li En.

“Rustle! Rustle!”

The slanting wind and drizzle moisten the earth, and the quiet streets echo with the sound of fine rain.

"Um..."

The waitress slowly opened her eyes and looked at the coins in front of her. She was lying on the counter and subconsciously looked at the table not far away. When she saw that there was no one there, a trace of regret flashed across her face.

...

Once, twice, three times, four times. When the white silk cloth brushed across the exquisite gun for the fourth time, the figure in the room finally stopped what he was doing.

“Crack~!”

The dark green metal is inlaid with gold lines, outlining the craftsman's name, confirming the pride and contentment of the maker.

This gun was not one of those flashy weapons of Piltover that were meant only to be useful in a land where magic was minimal.

The master forger from the Kashuli Arsenal personally gave life to this weapon, and magic pulses at the heart of the Ionian copper in the gun.

Carefully admiring this weapon that perfectly balanced power and beauty, the man's face revealed a hint of morbid joy.

Even though he had never used it once, even though he just wanted to put it in the bag and put it under the bed.

But before putting it away he had to make sure it was clean, and only after wiping it 'for the fourth time' could he be sure it was clean.

'Four times' must be clean!

Feeling the magic power surging from the gun, the man only felt whispers ringing in his ears, urging him to use it to create more perfect and amazing "art".

Unfolding the black eel-skin bodysuit, the slippery leather surface was slowly put on the body.

This is also one of the reasons for the support from the financial backers behind the scenes. The seemingly ordinary clothes are enough to withstand the slashing of the Razlan monks' swords.

The man then picked up the tight leather mask and was about to cover his face.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Hello, guest."

The waitress's voice came through the door, her lively tone carrying the energy unique to young people.

"Did you do as I told you?"

"Yes, sir, there is a white lantern every ten feet, and a red lantern every forty feet."

"Very good, then we can begin."

“Crack~!”

The door slowly opened, and the tall and thin Kada Jhin walked out of the room gracefully, holding an iron rod in his hand.

He was slightly hunched over, and the cloak he wore seemed to conceal a huge deformity on his shoulder.

The waitress, whose hair was wet by the fine rain, looked at his face, her eyes widened unconsciously, and a trace of fear first flashed across her innocent face, and then was replaced by shame and apology.

"I'm sorry, sir, I..."

"It's okay, this is my true appearance. I apologize if I scared you."

Jhin leaned on his iron staff and bowed slightly, his face full of sincere apology, which would surely scare anyone who saw it for the first time.

"No, please don't say that, sir, you have a heart of gold, which is more precious than a handsome face!"

"thanks for your encouragement."

Jhin smiled slightly, and stretched out his other hand from under his cloak, with dozens of shining coins quietly lying in his palm.

"Here, this is your reward."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The waitress wiped her hands repeatedly on the clean apron in front of her, which had been washed until it turned white, and then respectfully stretched out her hands under Jin's palms.

“Ding-dong~!”

The sound of coins colliding with each other as they fell brought a joyful smile to the waitress's face.

"That's great. With this money, not only can I get my grandpa's medicine for this month, but I can also buy my sister some new clothes!"

"Okay, it's time for me to set off."

"Okay sir, I wish you a safe journey!"

"Thank you."

Taking one last look at the waitress's round, pretty and symmetrical face, Jhin walked past her and headed downstairs.

He left a little 'surprise' for her, which would surely make her boring face become... more 'artistic' and beautiful!

Watching Jhin's back as he left, and seeing him walking with an agile step while holding the iron staff, the waitress felt that he must have gone through very difficult training to achieve this.

At the same time, I silently wished the performer invited by the small town all the best.

Looking back at the guest room door of Jhin that was not completely closed, the waitress holding the coins suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"It has been raining for two days. I will change a clean and warm quilt for Mr. Kada so that he can have a good rest in a dry and comfortable bed after his performance!"

The waitress did what she said. She brought a thick, clean quilt, pillow, etc. and walked along the corridor towards the guest room.

"Ahem~!"

"Ok?"

The waitress turned her body sideways, and the quilt and other items no longer blocked her view. A tall man with black hair and black eyes was standing in the not-so-wide corridor.

On that perfect face that had never been seen before was a gentle and peaceful smile.
