On the other side, Vi rushed back to the bar.

As soon as she opened the door, Powder threw her arms around her.

Then she slowly pushed Powder away and picked up the gauntlets.

“Hey, those are Vander’s,” Mylo stopped her.

“Benzo’s hurt.

A Topside Enforcer is dead.

Vander was taken.” Vi calmly said everything she knew.

“What?

Vander was taken?

Who took him?” Mylo also grew anxious.

“I don’t know.

Wait, Powder, the person who gave you that pistol, do you know who he is?” Vi suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Powder.

“You mean Felix?

I only know his name.

He and I get along pretty well when we talk.

But other than that, I don’t know anything.” Seeing her sister ask, Powder hurried to answer.

Vi looked deeply at Powder.

“There was a monster beside that person.

Something I’ve never seen before.

It tore that Enforcer apart in an instant.

If Felix hadn’t stopped it, Benzo probably would’ve died too.” “You can’t go by yourself, Vi,” Claggor said.

“Do you know where he went?” Mylo also moved closer and asked.

“Ekko followed them.

They’re at the old cannery,” Vi answered.

“You’re not coming this time, Powder.” “I can do it.

I’m not scared.” “It’s too dangerous!

Listen to me.” “I’m not afraid of danger.

I can fight!

And besides, I know Felix.

He’s a good person.

I can talk to him.” The two sisters broke into a fierce argument, but in the end, Vi still refused to bring Powder.

After they left, Powder was left alone in the room, bawling and venting all her frustration.

Suddenly, she realized that the gemstones in her hand were the key to causing the explosion last time.

“I can help,” Powder muttered to herself.

Inside the factory.

“A few rats followed us here, Silco,” Felix said.

“You said it yourself.

A few rats, nothing more.

Maybe this is exactly what we need to break the stalemate,” Silco said slowly.

“True.

I think Vi is better than that Vander guy anyway.

Aside from being too young, I’d rather have her replace Vander,” Felix continued.

Hearing that, Silco looked at Felix and slowly said, “You’re about the same age as Vi.” “Am I?

Hahahaha.” Felix scratched his head awkwardly.

His behavior sometimes made Silco forget his actual age.

“They’ve reunited with Vander.

We should show ourselves too,” Felix said next.

Vi saw Vander tied to a chair.

His left eye was bruised black and blue, but luckily, there did not seem to be many other injuries on his body.

She hugged Vander tightly.

“Vi, leave.

You shouldn’t have come here.” “I’m not leaving!

Mylo, pick the lock!” Vi refused and immediately had Mylo start working on it.

“Calm down.

I have to stay calm.” Mylo’s hands were trembling.

He was not that good at lockpicking to begin with, so he forced himself to calm down.

Applause came from the other end of the corridor.

“What a touching father-daughter scene, Vander.” Felix clapped as he walked forward, teasing them.

The moment Vi saw someone coming, she stepped in front of the door and used her slightly thin body to block the others behind her.

She looked at this somewhat familiar man, who seemed to be around her age.

“I thought you were one of us.” “Of course I’m one of you.

We all have the same dream.

It’s just that you’ve been using petty theft as revenge, while we’ve already prepared Zaun with the capital to stand against Piltover.” As Felix spoke, he kept moving forward.

Seeing him approach, Vi also walked toward him.

A fight seemed unavoidable.

Just as the two drew closer and closer, and Vi raised her fists, ready to speed up, Felix quickly lifted his shotgun and aimed it at her.

“Sorry, but times have changed.” Vi’s expression shifted several times when she saw the gun in his hands.

“What we’re after is cooperation, not infighting,” Felix said slowly when he saw Vi stop.

“You need to understand something.

If I wanted to, I could have killed Vander outright instead of letting him wait for your rescue.

I also wouldn’t have saved Benzo.

Our goal is the same from the start.

We’re all trying to make Zaun rise.” When Vi heard this, she began to waver.

“Zaun has been oppressed by Topside long enough.

It’s time to let the people above feel Zaun’s pain.” “Vander, didn’t you say you wanted to be a good man?

Didn’t you say you wanted to protect everyone’s safety?

Didn’t you say we were nothing but a disaster for the Lanes?

Since that’s the case, why don’t we just hand these four kids over and let you keep dragging out your miserable life?

We can’t just let Topsiders keep doing whatever they want in Zaun forever.” Seeing Vi waver, Felix added more fuel to the fire.

“Man, looks like once someone gets used to being a dog, they can’t stand up like a man anymore.” Seeing Vander remain silent, Felix continued speaking.

“Then I guess we’ll contact the Enforcers from Topside.

After all, I’d also like to be a good Samaritan.” “Shut up.

I caused the explosion in Topside.

Let them take me.” When Vi heard Felix insult Vander, she could not help speaking up.

But Felix did not respond.

He still stared fixedly at Vander.

Vander had disappointed Silco again and again, while Silco had given Vander chances again and again.

This was the final one.

Suddenly, Vander opened his eyes, and something of his old presence seemed to return to them.

“In that case, then we fight.

Zaun really does need to change.

But you can’t keep using the people of the Lanes for serum experiments.” Vander had been backed into a corner.

Maybe he was afraid that after he died, the four kids would be in danger.

Maybe he was afraid that without his protection, the Lanes would be eaten away by Silco until they no longer resembled themselves.

Whatever the reason, he compromised.

Hearing this, Felix suddenly turned back and smiled at Silco.

He put away the weapon in his hands and reached out to Vi.

“A pleasure doing business with you.

Why didn’t your sister come?” At that moment, Silco also released Vander’s restraints.

“A pleasure doing business with you, my brother.” “A pleasure doing business with you,” Vander replied.

The two of them seemed to return to those days, close and inseparable, trusting each other enough to leave their backs in the other’s hands.

Perhaps the rift between them could not be erased, but years of feelings and understanding could not simply vanish either.

No one noticed that Powder was standing by the window at that moment.

Seeing the two sides unexpectedly shake hands and make peace, she realized the monkey bomb had already been released and could no longer be taken back.

She could only shout loudly, “Look out!” Everyone heard Powder’s warning.

Vi heard Powder’s shout and was somewhat stunned.

The others also reacted with expressions of surprise or curiosity.

Only Felix realized the danger.

The others did not know Powder’s potential, but Felix did.

She was the Jinx she would one day become.

Even if she had not gone mad yet, she still had terrifying potential.

Then he saw a monkey doll, and a blue gemstone.

At that moment, the gemstone suddenly burst with dazzling light, illuminating the entire room.

Boom!
