Chương 101: -100- You should be thankful
"So, you two worked together to capture her?"
"Yes, I helped too!"
Raising her hands high, Powder stood beside Linwin, jumping and loudly boasting, "I'm the one who shot her down. Well, of course, I couldn't have done it without Kai'Sa."
Linwin turned his head to praise Powder, but Powder evaded his head-patting attempt and awkwardly said, "Wait, Linwin, the real hero is not me, it's Kai'Sa. Linwin, she caught Camille, and I just... fired a shot."
Powder certainly had self-awareness. Although she shot and helped Kai'Sa capture Camille, without Kai'Sa protecting her, Powder wouldn't be standing here talking.
Kai'Sa gave Powder a strange look. She was increasingly unable to understand Powder.
"So, let's praise you both together." Linwin extended his hand forward, pressing it on Powder's head and then rubbing it forcefully.
Then he looked at Kai'Sa.
However, Kai'Sa stared intently at Linwin, then shook her head vigorously.
Kai'Sa absolutely didn't want Linwin to pat her head! She wasn't a child!
"Hello."
"We should be meeting for the first time, Miss Camille, the top spy of the Ferros family."
In the main hall of the meeting room, Silco crouched in front of Camille, looking at her coldly and said, "I didn't expect our first meeting to be in this way. Miss Camille, I apologize for the poor hospitality. Please forgive us poor and uncouth Zaunites."
"You are Silco?"
Camille looked Silco up and down, speaking coldly, "You look different from the information. Are you wearing makeup now?"
Camille sneered at Silco, "Do men need makeup?"
"Perhaps. I put on makeup just for today, to avoid polluting the eyes of the noble Pilties."
Seeing that her sarcasm didn't anger Silco, but instead, he made a sarcastic remark, Camille nodded and said, "Well said, you're quite eloquent."
"Thank you. But I'm curious, why did the top individual of the Ferros family come to Zaun?"
"Zaun welcomes Piltover residents, but please undergo inspection during the day. You should be familiar with this procedure, considering that you, in the past, had a hundred reasons to intercept Zaunites going to the upper city."
Silco looked at Camille, crossing his hands and resting them under his chin, saying coldly, "Have you forgotten?"
"There's no point in...," Camille dismissed with disdain.
"Of course there is," Silco guessed what Camille wanted to say and interrupted her.
Just as Silco was about to continue confronting Camille, Linwin also spoke up.
"Silco, I have a question."
Ignoring Linwin, Silco continued to address Camille:
"As the finest spy in Piltover, you must have come to Zaun for two reasons, either Vander or Hextech. Am I..."
"Silco, I said I have a question for you."
Linwin walked behind Silco.
Camille looked at Silco, then glanced at the man standing near Powder, slapping his back like a bear. She spoke, "You are more worthy of the title of 'Father of Zaun' than Vander."
"Don't try to sow discord between me and him. It won't work, Miss Camille, because Vander is my light," Silco said calmly.
Such tricks of sowing discord and alienation would only work in vain. For the rise of Zaun, Silco was willing to sacrifice everything. In this matter, he had a more determined belief than anyone else.
So, he ignored Camille's words and continued, "Now—"
However, Linwin had already come behind Silco, bent down, placed his hands on Silco's shoulders, and smiled at Camille, then gently pressed down on Silco, causing the middle-aged man to almost lose his balance.
Linwin spoke, "Silco, I'm trying to talk to you."
"Speak, speak! What do you want?" Silco, pushed forward by Linwin, staggered a bit, then quickly straightened up, turning around with an annoyed expression. "Can't you see I'm talking to her? If you have something, can't it wait until later?"
"It's okay; she's already captured and we can talk to her anytime we want. My question is also very important."
Linwin looked up and down at the famous steel shadow.
The Steel Shadow, oh, the nightmare that was once on Linwin's head, making Linwin hide in Zaun like a sneaky dog for several years, was now tied up here.
Steel Shadow remained noble and elegant. Although she was tied up at the moment, and there were people watching her like monkeys, the cold and dignified aura on her had not been destroyed. She still calmly surveyed everything around her.
As if she were the queen here.
Camille, at this moment, was also looking at the young man who had just pressed on Silco.
"Hello, I'm Linwin."
"I know you, the father of the Hextech phone."
Camille, of course, recognized Linwin, the "genius" standing shoulder to shoulder with Jayce and Viktor.
"The father of Hextech phone, huh? Actually, Zevi is more suitable for that title," Linwin chuckled. Silco pushed him away, displeased, and said, "If you have something to say, can we talk somewhere else?"
"It's fine; she can hear it too."
Linwin shrugged and said, "I was just thinking, shouldn't the soundproofing in the conference room be reduced a bit?"
Linwin suppressed his smile, first glancing at Powder, who was pretending to be clumsy with a fruit tray near Kai'Sa. Then he looked at Silco, calmly saying, "Although a quiet environment is conducive to communication and contemplation, Silco, events like today are likely to happen frequently in the future. That's why we had Kai'Sa accompany Powder outside."
"So, something like this won't happen again."
Other than Linwin and Kai'Sa, there were few in Zaun who could face Camille head-on. Vi might have some fighting capability, but it would be more of a resistance.
As for Powder, Linwin didn't think she could withstand Camille. Despite her intelligence and various weapons, the power gap was still too significant.
Hearing Linwin's words, Silco broke out in a cold sweat. Capturing Camille was indeed a surprising and joyful event, but if only Powder went out tonight? If something happened to Powder.....
Silco admitted that he wouldn't be able to accept it.
He would lose his rationality.
For the imminent peace in Zaun, perhaps all three men, Vander, Linwin, and even Silco himself, would abandon it.
Silco could guess what they would do.
Looking at the steel shadow with a cold gaze, Silco's tone was no longer gentle but rather like a venomous snake, saying to Camille, "You should be thankful you didn't harm her, Miss Camille. Otherwise, your proud Ferros family won't live long."
Camille faced Silco's gaze, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. However, soon, she revealed a mocking smile and said, "Such arrog—"
"Silco, so let's have someone come to improve this conference room. At least, it shouldn't be like today, with loud noises outside, and inside, we can't hear a thing."
Camille's words were interrupted.
"I understand," Silco nodded. "This was indeed my negligence."
He looked at Camille on the ground again, speaking coldly, "After all, no one expected the Pilties would personally send the top spy down here."
"Haha, maybe she used to come down here every day for fun."
Linwin joked.
