Chapter 77: Councillor Jace! Caitlin meets Vi!
Seeing the fire in the distance,
All the law enforcement officers were shocked.
Ran over quickly.
"Help! I'm here! Help me!"
There was even a little girl's voice.
It came from the fire!
However, all the audience heard it instantly.
This is Jinx's voice!
really!
After the law enforcement officers were attracted to the fire scene by the cry for help,
Also fell into Jinx's trap.
Looking at the huge graffiti paintings on the wall,
And the bombs in the sky,
Even though the law enforcement officers knew they were being tricked,
But it was already too late.
Everyone was affected by the explosion.
Before Caitlin fainted,
I vaguely saw Jinx's figure.
This is their first meeting!
……
Seeing the explosion,
All the audience realized that
This is what Jinx said,
To prove herself!
And this big explosion that happened on Evolution Day,
The whole Piltover was alarmed!
Piltover just finished celebrating.
The parliament was convened immediately!
Because in this explosion,
Hexgems in the lab,
and research reports on it,
Gone too!
Throughout the laboratory,
They're all covered in weird graffiti!
“There will definitely be follow-up to this matter.”
"No one in Dicheng has claimed responsibility for this incident yet."
However, all members of parliament know that
This was definitely done by the people of Zaun!
As with previous meetings,
The Council remains undecided about its stance towards Zaun.
"Dicheng has been neglected for too long!"
"Even if the people of Dicheng are not to your liking, they are still people of this city."
"The people of Dicheng are undisciplined!"
Ever since the deaths of Fandel and Grissom.
The door to communication between Piltover and Zaun was closed again!
What the MPs are most concerned about is
It's the stolen Hextech crystal.
Will it be made into a weapon by the Zaun people?
"It is my duty to protect this technology!"
"I was derelict in my duty!"
"My mistake cost people their lives!"
In response to questions from parliamentarians,
Jess stood up.
He is willing to take responsibility.
At this time, Jess
I also understand why Heimerdinger asked them to continue their research for another ten years.
"I recommend to the parliament that all Hextech research and development projects be suspended!"
"Until this incident is resolved satisfactorily!"
Even though he is the creator of Hextech,
Jess still proposed to the councillors,
Close all Hex Labs, Refineries,
And there is also a Hextech flying gate!
However, this proposal
But it was rejected by almost all the members of parliament!
Since the invention of Hextech,
It has had a huge impact on the whole world!
"The Hextech Flying Door must not be closed!"
"It's what made Piltover the world's shipping hub!"
“This will cause many people to lose their source of income!”
At this moment, Jace was confused.
This is completely different from what Heimerdinger told him!
"But... shouldn't we prioritize Piltover's safety?"
Even Heimerdinger didn't expect that
Jace was willing to sacrifice his life's work for this.
And close the Hextech Flygate,
Undoubtedly, the impact is even greater for these big families that do business all over the world!
"If you close the Hexgate!"
"My goods won't be delivered until winter!"
"Should I tell the Noxians that their next batch of wine might turn into vinegar?"
A place name that is very familiar to the audience appears on the screen.
However, as the world's trade center,
It is normal for Piltover to have trade relations with Noxus.
While the councillors were arguing with Jess,
Mel's voice rang out.
"Members of the House, it appears that we are in a dilemma."
"If we shut down the Hexgate, the city will be paralyzed."
"But if we leave it alone, we will give criminals an opportunity to take advantage!"
"More people will die then!" "To solve this dilemma, I'm afraid we have to take more radical measures"
After looking around, Mel made her proposal.
"I propose to ask the parliament to add one more seat!"
"Let this representative of the Tallis family join our august group!"
"The safety of Hextech technology should be the responsibility of scientists!"
The Tallis family, that is, Jace's family!
In the chaos of Piltover and Zaun,
The congresswoman saw her opportunity.
Let Jace become the new councillor!
This will not only ensure the continued use of Hextech,
It also gave her more leverage in parliament.
After all, Jace was on her side.
As for Jess,
This is both an opportunity and a responsibility.
He must not act rashly in the future.
We have to consider the entire Piltover and the Council.
This,
It also gradually widened the gap in status between him and Victor.
His identity is gradually changing.
Since then,
Scientist Jess has a new identity.
That's Councilman Jace!
……
Just as the Piltover Council convened urgently,
When discussing how to resolve the explosion.
Accompanied by a burst of rock music,
The camera also came to Zaun.
This is Jinx's base.
She is immersed in her research.
Jinx has been studying various mechanical bombs since she was a child.
He is also a technical talent.
However, the furious Hilco interrupted her research.
The explosion caused by Jinx,
Resulting in the deaths of six Piltover law enforcement officers.
Piltover and Zaun have not had any conflict for several years.
It's not peaceful again!
Hilco finally felt the pressure that Van der Leyen had felt back then.
However, in response to Hilco's questioning,
Jinx just took out that one.
The hex gems she stole!
This is exactly the Hextech technology that Hilco has always dreamed of!
Although I don't know why,
Hilco, who once only wanted to stir up conflict between Piltover and Zaun,
Will live in peace with Piltover!
But deep down in his heart,
I will never be willing to be controlled by Piltover!
……
And on the other side.
Jess, who has become a member of parliament,
Came to visit the injured Caitlin.
Jace wants to invite Caitlin to join his team of councillors.
However, in Caitlin's room,
But it is filled with clues to various cases!
She rejected Jace's invitation.
This rich lady has never been a bird willing to be trapped in a cage.
From this bombing and airship smuggling case,
She found clues related to the criminal!
Even though Caitlin's parents no longer wanted her to continue working as a law enforcement officer,
She still chooses to work alone!
And Caitlin's first target!
The one on the airship.
Hilco's men were accidentally injured by Jinx!
……
Caitlin rowed alone.
Arrived at Jingshui Prison.
This is where Piltover holds the most serious criminals!
But she was told,
The prisoner was beaten so badly that he couldn't speak.
"I have to ask him something."
"You can do it later, as long as he can move his jaw again!"
"Who hit him?"
Following Caitlin's perspective,
The audience in front of the screen,
Through the iron gate,
Saw the man in the prison cell,
A figure punching the wall repeatedly!
Red hair, a strong body, and powerful punches.
Even if I only saw her profile,
But all the audience still recognized it immediately!
She is Wei!
