Chapter 122: The choice that Hilco faces! Ike and the Wildfire Gang!
Seeing the hammer logo on the envelope,

The audience in front of the screen were all a little surprised.

This is exactly Jess's letter!
——"It seems this is Jace's final choice!"

——"Yeah! He still agrees with Mel's point of view."

——"Is he going to negotiate with Hilco?"

——"But I doubt whether both sides can reach an agreement!"

——"Anyway, it's better than a war!"

——"At least there won't be any more casualties!"

After Jayce gave up on working with Vi, everyone could actually guess what his choice would be.

But I didn't expect that Jace would be so bold as to contact Hilco directly.

But this at least brings the dawn of peace to Piltover and Zaun.

The next scene shows Hilco arriving at the place mentioned in the letter by Jace.

But it was not early morning, nor was it dawn. There was only the setting sun in the sky.

This should be the edge of the two cities. The coastline is not far away, and there are also artillery batteries built on the city walls.

It was here that the gang leaders of Zaun and the council members of Piltover met.

For the sake of peace and to avoid more casualties, Jace chose to negotiate with Hilco to end the dispute between the two cities.

Hilco slapped a piece of paper in front of Jayce, which was his request on behalf of Zaun.

Including "trade routes, release of prisoners in the base city, use of Hexgate, autonomy" and other requirements.

In the end, in exchange, Jace agreed to allow Bottom City to exercise autonomy and give up some of his interests.

His request was that Zaun stop producing glimmers and return the Hextech gems.

Also, hand over Jinx!

The ruthless Hilco agreed to other requests, but hesitated on the one about "handing over Jinx".

"That was not her crime. I was the one who gave the order."

Unknowingly, Hilco made the same choice as his brother Vandal had made.

"Believe me, if I had my way, you would be the one to die in Jingshui Prison."

"But if you want to make a deal with Viper, you have to save his life first."

Jace said.

The chaotic Zaun needs Hilco to stabilize order.

And he also needs to lock up this lunatic who keeps killing people to prevent her from committing further crimes!
"Give me Jinx, and I'll give you the Zaun you want."

Jace slapped the paper on Hilco.

After Jace left, only Hilco's hunched figure was left in the sunset.

……

The audience was silent after watching this scene.

Everyone thought of Vander at the same time.

When Piltover asked Vandal to hand over the child in the downtown area of ​​​​upper town, Vandal chose to take the blame himself and had his hands handcuffed.

And now, Hilco is facing the same choice as Van der Vader.

He returned to Zaun and sat next to a statue that looked like it was made of discarded iron sheets, talking to himself.

At this time, there was no one around Hilco, the local boss of Zaun, and no one could make this choice for him.

He must miss his former brother terribly.

"I never expected it to be like this..."

Hilco muttered to himself.

"That boy promised me everything I ever wanted."

"Shouldn't I feel relieved?"

As Silko finished speaking, the camera turned to the statue next to him.

Perhaps just looking at the face of this rough statue made of iron sheets, the audience would just feel somewhat familiar, but when the camera shifted to the pipe in the statue's hand.

Everyone recognized it, this is the statue of Vander!

After Hilco killed his brother, he built a statue in his honor.

"It all makes sense now, brother." Hilco poured half the jug of wine at the foot of the statue and drank the remaining half himself.

“Is there anything more devastating than raising a daughter?”

He could get the Zaun he had always dreamed of, but the price was to exchange it for Jinx.

At this moment, Hilco finally understood Vandel's choice.

What about him? Will he make the same choice as Fandel?
This question arose in the minds of all the audience.

As the camera moves slowly,
A figure with twin ponytails is hidden behind the statue!

It's Jinx! She heard everything Silko said!
When the camera focuses on Jinx's face,

The audience was shocked to find that her pupils had turned into another color.

No longer bursting blue eyes, this color is closer to... a glimmer!
……

"Do you think Hilco will choose to hand over Jinx?"

During the commentary program, Jiang Wen asked another commentator a question with interest.

"Let me think about it. If it was the old Silko, the Silko who killed Fandel, he would definitely choose to hand over Jinx!"

Guo Fan said after thinking for a moment.

At that time, Hilco came with revenge. He wanted to kill Vandel, and even kill the children Vandel adopted.

At that time, all Hilko had in mind was his ideal, a Zaun that was on par with Piltover!
But now...

“It’s hard to tell now!”

Judging from the plot of the film alone, Hilco already has deep feelings for Jinx, especially the scene where he takes the seriously injured Jinx to find the alchemist.

He would do anything to save Jinx.

When Jayce asked Hilco to hand over Jinx, he subconsciously behaved like Vandel, preferring to be imprisoned himself rather than hand over his daughter.

There is no doubt that Hilco faces a more difficult choice than Van der Vaart.

On the one hand, the Zaan he had always dreamed of seemed to be right in front of him, within reach!

On the other side is his adopted daughter, Jinx.

In his heart, which side carries more weight?

……

After the negotiations between Jess and Hilco,

It looks like peace has arrived between the two cities!
But if Zaun becomes autonomous and is on an equal footing with Piltover, the nobles in the upper city will no longer be able to exploit the people in the lower city. Is such a thing really possible?

It seems that as long as Hilco hands over Jinx, there will be hope between the two cities.

But the audience has not forgotten that this is just Jess's personal opinion.

He has not yet gained the consent of the Senate or the support of the Piltover families.

Can the negotiations between the two of them bring true peace to the twin cities?

When this question arose in the minds of the audience,
A small foreshadowing laid before the film unfolds before the audience's eyes as the camera moves.

Ekko injured his thigh in the battle with Jinx, but also met Heimerdinger.

At this moment in the lens,

With the help of Heimerdinger, Ekko took him to the Wildfire Gang's base.

As the gate that sealed the base opened,

What appeared before Heimerdinger's eyes was a huge tree growing vigorously surrounded by green light!
He had never seen such a beautiful scene as the one before him, everything looked so vibrant!
The Yodel under the cloak opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

I couldn’t imagine that such a world actually existed in Zaun.

"You created all this in just a few years of your life?"

Heimerdinger asked in surprise.

“How can you accomplish so much in such a short life?”

“When you are pushed into a corner, you can always burst out with unexpected energy.”

Ike grinned.

With the cheers of those around him,
The voice of the "Wildfire Gang" echoed in this small world.

“It’s not enough to just meet the requirements to survive.”

“To give people hope and joy in life.”
