Silco’s orders were soon passed down throughout the undercity, and everyone in the Lanes erupted.
They had waited a very long time for this day.
“Sevika, does this mean we’re declaring war on the upper city?” Some people still could not quite believe it.
“This is Silco’s order.
All you need to do is what you’re supposed to do,” Sevika said coldly, though anyone could tell that she was excited too.
After injecting the chemtech serum back into her modified arm, Sevika looked at the crowd.
“Now, let’s give those enforcers a surprise.” Marcus, up in the upper city, had no idea that Zaun was about to go to war with Piltover.
The unprepared enforcers were caught completely off guard.
Most of them were beaten up and captured.
Only a small number managed to escape back to the upper city to report what had happened.
Piltover.
Sheriff Marcus was already overwhelmed.
He had only promised Jayce yesterday that he could arrest the criminals, and today more than half of the enforcers stationed in the Lanes had been wiped out.
It was already past two in the morning.
He truly did not dare suppress the matter any longer.
He had no choice but to move his wife and daughter away overnight, then report the incident to the Council.
At three in the morning, the Council convened again because of Zaun’s uprising.
“Marcus, I remember what you told me last night.” Jayce’s expression was very grim.
This had happened on his very first day in office.
“Haah, I mean, couldn’t this wait until morning?” The bald councilor yawned.
Since his own interests had not been harmed, he naturally did not want to lose sleep over this meeting.
“The situation is very serious right now.
What Zaun has done is no different from declaring war on us,” Mel said, her expression grave.
She had been born in Noxus and knew the brutality of war all too well.
“Sheriff Marcus, please tell us the current results of your investigation, as well as Zaun’s present situation.” Marcus braced himself and revealed everything he knew.
“According to my men, last night, just as the enforcers were preparing to withdraw, the people from the undercity suddenly began their counterattack.
They had partial armor on their bodies and a large number of weapons.
Our enforcers were caught off guard because they were unprepared.” “According to the investigation, the one organizing the undercity uprising is a criminal organization led by Silco.
They have been operating in the Lanes for years and have already formed a force that cannot be ignored.
In addition, the Shimmer they produce and sell is addictive, and it can greatly stimulate a person’s potential.” “Why did you not mention something this important in your previous reports?” Councilor Talis was extremely angry.
“There is also new information that just came in.
A merchant ship was looted before it could pass through the Sun Gates.
All the cargo on board was taken away, and the ship itself was blown up.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the merchants unanimously believe Piltover should bear the cost of these losses.” Marcus gave them every clue he had.
He loved Piltover.
He had only cooperated with Silco because of a bit of selfishness.
He had never once thought of betraying Piltover.
At this point, he already knew he would not be able to keep his position.
Since he had already moved his wife and daughter away, he might as well say everything he knew.
“Silco’s influence in the Lanes is terrifying.
I recommend caution when taking countermeasures.” After Marcus finished speaking, he shut his mouth and stepped aside.
“Given Sheriff Marcus’s dereliction of duty, I believe he is no longer suited to remain sheriff,” Councilor Kiramman proposed.
“I agree with Councilor Kiramman.” “I approve.” The remaining councilors voiced their agreement one after another.
But who would take charge of the matter became another problem.
Everyone passed the responsibility back and forth until Jayce finally volunteered, saying he would put down Zaun’s uprising as soon as possible.
After the emergency meeting ended, Jayce did not go home.
Instead, he returned to his laboratory.
Viktor was still there doing research.
“Viktor, we should speed up the development of stable Hextech crystals.” Jayce told Viktor, his closest friend, everything that had happened that day.
“You want to make weapons?
No, Jayce.
We’re scientists, not ambitious men developing weapons of war.” Viktor immediately stopped him.
In truth, there had already been progress on stable Hextech crystals.
If they devoted all their energy to the project, they would likely be developed very soon.
“I’m not just a scientist.
I’m a councilor too!
I have to take responsibility for Piltover.
Besides, the targets are only lowly Zaunites.” Jayce was growing anxious.
Viktor looked deeply at Jayce.
“I am a Zaunite.” After saying that, he left the laboratory.
Jayce reached out behind him, wanting to make him stay, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
Stillwater Hold, South City.
Caitlyn took advantage of the night and arrived at Stillwater Hold by boat.
The prison was surrounded by the sea on all sides, and an oppressive feeling washed over her the moment it came into view.
After walking up a long flight of stairs, Caitlyn arrived before the fat warden.
“I need to question one of your prisoners.” The warden grinned.
“Sure, you can.
But the prisoners here aren’t always able to answer your questions.
They don’t much like talking.” Caitlyn did not quite understand what he meant.
“I’m looking for the culprit behind the bombing case from two years ago.
Her name is Violet.
I hope you will cooperate.” “Oh?
Prisoner 516.
We just gave her special attention today.” The warden smiled at her.
“You can ask her, if she’s recovered well enough.” As the elevator started moving, Caitlyn rode it down into the depths of the prison.
The warden’s words echoed through her mind, making her, someone raised in a greenhouse, feel a chill run down her spine.
She slowly reached the designated cell.
Inside, a girl was curled up in the corner.
Blood stained the floor red, but there was still a stubborn, unyielding look in her eyes.
Hearing a sound from the corridor, she slowly supported herself against the wall and stood up.
“Who’s there?!” “You’re the culprit from the bombing case two years ago, right?” Caitlyn asked directly.
The bloodstains inside the cell made her heart tremble.
“If you say so,” Vi replied flatly.
“The accomplices with you all died in the undercity explosion?” Caitlyn stepped right on the one subject she should not have touched.
The corner of Vi’s mouth twitched slightly.
“How would I know?” “Asking you is a waste of time.” Seeing that Vi had no intention of cooperating, Caitlyn spoke bluntly.
“Isn’t it?” Caitlyn grew somewhat angry.
Born into House Kiramman, she was rarely spoken to like this.
Even so, she suppressed her temper and took out the manuscript in her hand.
