The Master Behind the Scenes Starting from the Twin Cities

When Ryan walked into the banquet hall with Katarina, all the nobles' eyes were focused on him. They all stopped talking and toasted to him.

This banquet was originally held on the day of evolution to raise money for the Midalda family.

But with Ryan's entry, the previous purpose was no longer important. They gathered together just to welcome the Noxian envoy.

"Good afternoon, you can call me Bolpok, a loyal business partner of Noxus."

"Good afternoon, on behalf of the Jiraman family, I sincerely apologize to you. I was abrupt this morning."

"Hello, I am Stevan, the head of the Philos family. I heard about your deeds in the Battle of Presidium and admire you very much."

"."

The nobles of Piltover rushed to Ryan like bees, looking at him as if they were looking at sweet honey, their faces were full of enthusiasm, and they gave their blessings politely.

Ryan was no longer as resistant as he had been in the past. Instead, he smiled and returned the greetings one by one, and wrote down the names of these people.

After about half an hour, he finally got rid of the group of nobles, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and walked towards Mel with the numb Catalina:

"I hope I didn't ruin your plan today, Senator Midalda." Ryan raised his glass slightly.

"Fundraising went smoothly. My mother told me since I was a child that I should control all the variables." Mel smiled and clinked glasses with Ryan, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Do you think you can control everything?" Catalina couldn't help asking.

It was a torture for her to let the assassin attend the banquet. The people around her were too enthusiastic, but she could see the fakeness of these people. She found that this occasion was completely out of her control, and it was not as simple and direct as stabbing a sharp blade into a human body to kill someone.

Mel looked Katarina up and down, and raised his lips slightly: "Miss Kekao, I don't need and can't control everything. I just need to understand the protagonist of today."

"Sir Meredith?"

Katrina was even more confused. Ryan didn't seem like someone who could be calculated by Mel.

"Being able to enter the banquet hall means that we are not enemies. I am not from Noxus, but my mother is. I heard that you and my mother have a good relationship."

"I have only met Mrs. Midalda a few times, but my former boss has a good personal relationship with her. Now your mother is in a lot of trouble. I think I should help you as much as I can." Ryan took a sip of wine.

He had to admit that Mel had excellent political talents and could quickly discover and adapt to the changes in various relationships.

It was impossible for him to give Mel a good face when he met him before. Mel was born in Noxus but had the position of Piltover, while he represented Noxus.

Mel seemed to think of this very quickly, and it didn't take long before he invited him in the name of Noxus Midalda.

Just these alone, Mel's talent is enough for Ryan to appreciate.

If Mel is really replaced by Katarina, even if the two have similar resources behind them, it will inevitably become a mess.

Of course, if these two are thrown into the lower city of Zaun, it will be a completely different ending.

"My mother has a lot of troubles. Since I was a child, she has either been in war or on the way to the battlefield." Mel's face was helpless.

"There are very few generals as pure as her in Noxus, only her, General Darius and Major General Kled." Ryan's words were full of regret.

"How do I remember that General Kakao is also, and his eldest daughter Miss Kakao is even more famous as a genius assassin, and will definitely take his place in the future."

Mel had a charming smile on his face and raised the wine glass in his hand to Katarina.

Katarina looked uncomfortable, and silently clinked glasses with Mel and drank the wine in the glass.

She is a competitive person, but in the current situation, she feels terrible and clumsy, far less comfortable than the woman in front of her.

"It's only a matter of time. Katarina's potential is no worse than mine." Ryan said with a smile, "But in comparison, you seem to care more about your protagonist, and even a little impatient."

His eyes turned to a sturdy young man in the hall. He noticed that Mel's eyes always looked at that man unconsciously.

Of course, Ryan has seen the photo of that young man no less than ten times. It is hung in the streets and alleys of Piltover. He is the genius of Piltover-Jestalis.

"Sorry, but he is really our Piltover's treasure. I never thought that a child born in an ordinary family would have such excellent talents." Mel's face was apologetic, but his words were full of amazement.

"Excellent talent and extraordinary ability. But he still looks like a young child. People born in Piltover seem to have this problem."

Ryan's eyes only stayed on the big boy for a second, and then turned his eyes to the crutches on the other side. His thin body like a bamboo pole seemed to fall down immediately, and his face was even more sickly.

The young man with crutches is Victor, a scientist who is far better than Jayce in his mind.

Mel heard the subtext of Ryan's words, looked at Jayce with a dazed look, shook his head and said: "After all, people always need experience to grow. Piltover is a good stage. I can give him time."

"Gamble with the future of a city?" Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, and became a little more interested.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Sir, this is not a gamble, but a step into a new future. He is our treasure boy." Mel's face was full of confidence.

Ryan could feel that Mel seemed to have more confidence in the future of Jess Talis than Mr. Talis himself. He could see that Jess was still confused, like a little puppy seeking comfort.

When the two of them were talking, Jess also saw this side. When he saw Mel, he showed surprise on his face.

He strode over and whispered anxiously in Mel's ear:

"Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Mel looked at Ryan embarrassedly and apologized: "Sorry, sir, I may have to leave for a while."

"It's okay, I hope you can have a good chat with your treasure boy."

Ryan raised his glass without minding, and just watched Jess, who looked anxious, leave the banquet hall with Mel.

It seems that the little puppy has found his owner, and the next step is to comfort him. After the two disappeared, Ryan retracted his playful gaze.

"Is he Jestalis?" Katarina asked curiously.

"It's true. I haven't seen his intelligence, but his physique is not inferior to the elite soldiers of the Empire. This is rare in Piltover." Ryan commented.

"He looks like a clumsy boy. It's hard to believe that he can achieve great success in science. I am now more confident in what I said to you." Katarina said seriously.

"Which sentence did I say?" Ryan seemed a little surprised.

"If Jace is like this, then I think I can master magic." Katarina said firmly.

Jace really gave her a bad first impression. She didn't understand scientific knowledge, but she thought she should be able to do better than Jace.

"Hahaha, Miss Katarina, please keep this confidence at all times. This is what I admire most about you."

Ryan saw Victor sitting alone at the side, and gestured to Katarina in his direction and said:

"Now, we should go to see Jace's assistant."
