Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 237 Are you Lady Luxana, the Crown Guard of Demacia?
"try it yourself?"

Her boots were tucked together, and she leaned against the raised stool, her squinting eyes filled with disdain as she looked at the Noxian.

"."

The Noxians' faces turned ashen. The leader looked at the bartender, who was also carrying a gun and walking out from behind the bar towards them.

Seeing this, the Noxian leader said to the bartender in a deep voice, "Is this how you Zaunites treat your guests?"

The bartender stood behind the blue-haired girl with a smile, cocked his rifle with a "click," and said, "I say, have you Noxians gotten something wrong? Haven't the situation in Demacia these past two days made you realize it yet?"

As he spoke, he lowered his gun and continued, "The Demacians were arrested, but you escaped. If we're honest, then everyone can pretend what you did never happened. Zaun is willing to swallow this bitter pill; we'll take the loss, and that'll be the end of it. But now you're jumping out again. Don't you think you deserve a beating?"

“Since yesterday, Zu'an has no longer been the Zu'an you know. We turned a blind eye to what you did before, but now that Lord Li Ke is back, do you think we can still let you cause trouble here?”

As the bartender spoke, he picked up a glass bottle from the table, bent down, and poured juice into the girl's half-empty glass.

“We didn’t intend to cause trouble. We just wanted to have a chat with the Demacians. Why is Zaun interfering with this?” The Noxian looked at the scene, remained silent for a moment, and then stepped forward and said.

He glanced at the blue-haired girl and saw her holding a cup, biting the straw and drinking juice. As if noticing his gaze, she suddenly looked up and gave him a forced smile.

That smile, paired with her light makeup, gave her a somewhat sickly beauty, and a slightly neurotic air.

Then, the girl's voice rang out, seemingly oblivious to her own thoughts: "I'm going to take care of this, what can you Noxians do about it?"

The bartender laughed behind him, and then a group of people from Zu'an laughed.

During this time, they had long harbored resentment towards the Demacians and Noxians; after all, they were Zaunites! And specifically, the Zaunites of Fugen Tavern, the Zaunites of the alleyways!
Those bastards. Yes, they're bastards!
Before Zaun was self-governed, which of these guys didn't have a life on their hands? Which one hadn't done shady things that involved risking their lives? To put it bluntly, this group was a bunch of lawless bastards, and they had long been annoyed by the messes that the Demacians and Noxians had been making of Zaun lately.

The day Li Ke returned, the law enforcement bureau mobilized that very night, launching a massive crackdown on Demacians in both the lower and upper cities. If you were a Demacian, you had to go to the law enforcement bureau to give a statement. If they found out you had nothing to do with the recent events, they would let you go. If you did, you'd be sitting in jail.

The Noxians were lucky and weren't targeted, but that wasn't because the Zaunites were afraid; it was because they couldn't find the opportunity. If the Noxians wanted to behave themselves and abide by Zaun's laws, fine, they wouldn't arrest them, but if they dared to cause trouble again...
Ah!
The laughter made the Noxians feel humiliated, and then one of them boldly grabbed Lux's arm.

Lux was startled and was about to dodge when she saw a flash of blue light. Then, the Noxian who had reached out screamed and crouched down, clutching his arm.

"Fuck you!" the blue-haired girl cursed, a small pistol appearing in her hand. She twirled the pistol around her knuckles and then kicked over the table in front of her.

"pat-"

The Noxians quickly pulled the injured man back to their camp. Then, the Noxian leader took a step forward, spreading his arms wide as if to intercept him, while trying to tell everyone to calm down. But before he could speak, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck.

Behind the girl, a burly man, over two meters tall, with a broad and fat build and a face covered in tattoos, had a ferocious expression. He grabbed the girl's neck with one hand and, without waiting for her to speak, raised the other hand and smashed it into her face.

"You dare lay a hand on Jinx! I think Noxus has a death wish!"

"Damn it, kill these Noxians! They dared to lay a hand on Jinx!"

"Damn it, if Hilk finds out that Jinx is being harassed by the Noxians, we'll all be skinned alive!"

calm?

Can't calm down at all!
The moment she fired, the gunshot signaled the start of the attack.

The Zaunians had been fed up with these Noxians for a long time. If it weren't for Hilco and Lick not giving the order, would these Noxians even dare to go to Fugen's Tavern for a drink? Go to hell!

Now that Jinx has made her move, and with Jinx backing her up, is there a problem with a fight breaking out?

Absolutely no problem!
Who in Zaun doesn't know how much Jinx is loved?
The top leader is Rick, the second-in-command is Hilco, the third-in-command is Vander, the fourth-in-command is Vi, and Jinx is above all of these leaders!

Under the guise of protecting Jinx, let alone beating up these Noxians, even if they were killed and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, Hilko would only praise them and give them bonuses!

Jinx stood there, smiling with bright eyes and white teeth, a smile that was somewhat fierce. The Zaunites around and behind her all rushed forward, but they didn't panic as they attacked the Noxians. Instead, they were careful to stay in position and not bump into Jinx.

"Come here, what are you standing there for?"

Lux turned her head and looked at Jinx, who was speaking. She saw Jinx waving at her, and Lux ​​quickly ran over.

"Tsk, we're really destined to meet. My name is Jinx, and yours is Lux. We both have the character 'silk' in our names."

Jinx turned and walked towards the bar without looking back at what was happening behind her, while Lux followed her, constantly looking behind her.

As the youngest princess of the Crownguard family, Lux doesn't think Jinx is any more noble. After all, Demacia's population far exceeds Zaun's, and the population of the capital city is several times that of Zaun. The Crownguard is the largest family under the royal family, and Lux's status in the capital city can be described as second only to the emperor.

What surprised Lux ​​was the aura Jinx gave her—an aura Lux completely lacked, or rather, an aura that Demacians wouldn't possess.

Just as Lux was about to ask, "Shouldn't we stop them? Won't this cause problems?", the tavern door was suddenly pushed open.

Then, a group of people in uniforms rushed in.

"Stop it, all of you!" The woman in the lead had pink hair, wore a uniform vest, and fitted trousers with several pockets. Her pink hair was blowing in the wind, so it was naturally Wei.

As soon as she entered, the Zaunites who were beating up the Noxians in the tavern stopped.

"Finn, do you have a death wish? Instead of working honestly at sea, you're causing trouble in Fugen?"

Wei looked at a tall, thin man with blond hair in the crowd and scolded him.

Finn, after being scolded by Vi, chuckled, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said with a grin, "It's not my fault, boss lady. I'm off today. As for why I beat them up, well, who told these blind idiots to mess with Jinx?"

Upon hearing this, Wei looked towards the bar and saw Jinx.

When Jinx saw Vi, she leaned against the bar, her right hand on the table. She raised her left hand and stood on tiptoe, pulling her clothes up to reveal her fair waist. She waved her left hand and greeted Vi with a smile.

"Hey, big sister~"

Vi's anger subsided considerably, replaced by a hint of helplessness. She stepped forward, glancing first at Lux, then at Jinx, and asked, "What happened?" "They provoked me, and even attacked me in front of me, and then, and then I shot them." Jinx handed Vi a glass of juice she had just taken a sip of. Vi reached out to take it, but Jinx shook her hand.

Seeing this, Wei opened her mouth with amusement, bit the straw and took a sip, saying indistinctly with juice in her mouth, "You, you've already caused trouble as soon as you got back."

"What do you mean I caused trouble as soon as I came back? It's been so long since I've caused any trouble!" Jinx retorted, bristling at Vi's words.

Just kidding, these days, whether it's Zaun or Piltover, who dares to mess with her, who dares to cause her trouble?
Only these outsiders, who don't know her, dare to do it.

Therefore, Vi found it troublesome, but Jinx saw it as fun.

It's been so long since she's been a mafia princess!
"And who is this?" Vi asked Lux.

Before Lux could answer, Jinx casually remarked, "A friend I just met, she's a really nice person, I like her a lot."

Jinx wasn't lying. From the moment Lux was harassed and then tried to leave, thinking she couldn't involve Jinx, Jinx realized Lux ​​was a pretty good person.

She does seem to have a strange affinity with Lux? Just like she said, they seem to have a connection because their names are so similar!
"Demacians?" Vi squinted.

"So what if she's a Demacian? I told you, sister, she's a friend I just made," Jinx said, pouting.

Wei shrugged, turned around, and waved to the crowd as she spoke: "Alright, bring them over here."

The law enforcement officers immediately forced a group of Noxus vehicles in front of Vi.

Upon seeing Vi, the Noxian, who had been seeing stars and had a bruised and swollen face, immediately snapped back to reality and shouted, "Enforcers, you've finally arrived! They attacked us without provocation and disrupted the peace between our two cities!"

"Alright, whatever your grievances are, we'll hear them from you at the police station later." Wei impatiently interrupted him, then grabbed his hair and yanked it hard. As he winced in pain, Wei leaned down and looked at him coldly, saying:
"What I really want to know is, what did you do to upset my sister?"

"She's your sister?" The Noxian leader was taken aback, his face full of astonishment, and he glanced at Jinx as he did so.

Jinx waved to him with a smile.

"Of all people to mess with, you had to mess with her. In this city, she's the person you absolutely can't afford to offend, understand?" Vi sighed. She'd been the head of law enforcement for quite some time, so she could tell that these Noxians were truly wronged. They might have done something they shouldn't have, but Vi didn't believe they dared to provoke the Zaunites or attack them in Zaun.

But so what?

Compared to the Noxians' grievances, Vi naturally leans more towards Jinx.

The Noxians fell silent; Vi was practically telling them outright that they were doomed.

After a moment, he asked, "Who exactly is she?"

That's all he wants to know right now. From beginning to end, they haven't shown any hostility towards the Zaunites; in fact, they seem to have backed down a bit.

You must know they are Noxians, Noxians who have been running rampant in Valoran for many years!
He was willing to give face to the Zaunites and admit defeat, which was the limit of what he had done. But these Zaunites were risking a diplomatic dispute with Noxus for that girl.
So, who is she?
"Who is she? Listen carefully."

"Her name is Jinx, the daughter of Hilko and Vander, the wife of Zaun's Lord Rick, and my sister. She holds important positions such as professor at Piltover University and director of the Zaun Weapons Bureau. So now you understand how much trouble you almost got into?"

"Alright, stop thinking about useless things. Instead of thinking about those things, you should think about how you're going to talk to Swain when we go to hold him accountable and ask him what he was thinking."

After Wei finished speaking, she waved her hand.

The law enforcement officers quickly took the group away.

"Hey, are you all here?"

Just then, a voice rang out.

In the tavern, every Zaunite looked at him immediately, standing ramrod straight with eyes full of admiration. Some of the bolder ones even took the initiative to greet him.

The man smiled and nodded to them, greeting them warmly.

"What happened? It's time for dinner. I came to pick Jinx up and take her home. Why are you all making that face?"

The person who came in was Li Ke. He was looking at Vi with curiosity, and then at Jinx with a smile on her face.

Upon seeing Rick arrive, Jinx's slightly nervous smile vanished instantly, replaced by a bright, genuinely happy one.

That smile was a bit like a silly grin, and it made Lux feel that Jinx's unique charm had disappeared, leaving only an eye-catching, youthful beauty who seemed to radiate pink bubbles.
Jinx jogged toward Rick, and then, in front of everyone in the pub, she clung to him like an octopus. Rick reached out and hugged Jinx; he was used to doing affectionate things with her in public.

After all, Jinx doesn't hide her feelings. She expresses her love not only in the Fuggen Tavern, but also in the crowded shopping square of Mrs. Piltover Mountain!
Li Ke ruffled Jinx's hair and said with a smile, "You've gotten into trouble again?"

“What nonsense! They started this mess with me first,” Jinx said, then turned to Lux and said, “They’re the ones who caused trouble for my new friend.”

Li Ke followed the gaze and then froze.

Then, with a wry smile, he said, "Vi, when you bring these people back to the station, tell Hilco that they've been found and that they're indeed in Zaun."

Vi was taken aback, nodded, glanced at Lux a few more times, and muttered, "I understand."

Lee carried Jinx to Lux. Because Lee was holding her in front of her, Jinx couldn't see Lux, so she put one leg on the ground, then moved and kicked, turning her body into the position of being carried on Lee's back.

A small head peeked out from under Rick's right shoulder, looking at Lux.

Lux still didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw Rick coming over, she politely bowed slightly and then introduced herself.

But before she could speak, she heard Li Ke's voice, a pleasant, gentle voice with a hint of helpless laughter.

"Excuse me, are you Lady Luxana the Crownguard from Demacia?"

Lux: "?"
