Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 27: The Alliance Fails and He Dies Midway

While Oran was making arrangements for the aftermath, some people on the MADS were also planning something new.

"Whoosh, you two, did you fall into a trap set by native hunters? What happened to you and you look so disheveled?"

Judge and Queen, who had been chased by Blitz for most of the day, finally caught up and returned, but as soon as they boarded the ship, they heard a sleazy voice.

A man with a slicked-back black mushroom haircut, a flat nose, and a pair of horns on his head was mocking the two of them.

Kaiser Courland, another member of MADS, is currently the moral bottom line of MADS. To be more precise, his bottom line is that he has no bottom line, but it hasn't developed to that point yet.

Of course, when it comes to narcissism, he is second to none. Like Queen and Judge, Caesar also believes himself to be stronger than Vegapunk and looks down on others.

He was overjoyed to see Quinn and Judge in such a sorry state, but this time Quinn and Judge didn't attack him; instead, they snorted coldly a few times.

"You idiot, you haven't gone out all day, do you have no idea what's happened?"

"Vegapunk personally invited someone else to join us, and our budget is about to be cut."

Queen and Judge shared their intelligence one after the other, successfully driving Caesar into a frenzy. However, after hearing about Vegapunk's bet, Caesar became excited instead.

"So, it's a competition of results? Whoosh, the three of us teaming up is indeed a great idea."

No researcher would care about having too much funding, and Caesar was one of the most extravagant people, so a large portion of the funding he received would not be used for good.

In the original timeline, he even brazenly swindled BIG MOM out of funding, then used the money to live a life of extravagance. Although it hasn't reached that point yet, signs of it are beginning to emerge.

However, the alliance of these people did not go as smoothly as they had imagined.

"Hahaha, very good, then let me lead you to victory!"

"Wait, Quinn, why are you leading the charge? That thing is a robot, and what you're researching is completely useless. It's obvious that I should be in charge."

"Whoosh, Judge, didn't you and Quinn both lose? That just proves you're both useless, so it was the right choice for me to lead the team."

Despite their alliance, none of the three would yield to the others. After exchanging glances, they started fighting amongst themselves.

Vegapunk watched their fight silently from a distance without intervening; he was used to this kind of thing.

The occasional internal strife doesn't help him much with his research. Vegapunk now hopes to meet someone more capable, who can be of greater help to his research.

The members of MADS each have their own research focus. Currently, Caesar's research leans towards Devil Fruits, Queen is researching more about chemical viruses, and Judge is focusing on weapons development.

The three of them also shared a common goal in their research: to apply their inventions to weapons, which differed somewhat from Vegapunk's ideas.

Vegapunk saw more possibilities in Blitz's behavior patterns, so he had high expectations for Oran.

The following day, Quinn and his two companions fought all night to a draw, eventually ending in mutual destruction, and both ended up as corpses.

When the appointed time arrived, Oran brought Kate and Blitz there. Ginny and Bear originally wanted to come back as well, but Oran arranged for them to take care of other matters.

Shortly after boarding, they saw the medical team that was already prepared.

"Mr. Sidier, we are ready and can assist you with the surgery at any time."

Oran was the only surgeon; the rest of the team only needed to pass surgical instruments and wipe sweat. To be on the safe side, Oran even did the anesthesiologist's job himself, since all Oran needed was the venue and equipment.

Oran nodded to the nurses and doctors, then looked at Kate, who seemed somewhat worried, behind him.

"Relax, just take a nap, and you'll have a healthy body in a few hours, I guarantee it."

"Meow believes in you."

Oran and Kate changed into surgical gowns, while Blitz stood quietly outside the door like a security guard. The door light outside the operating room came on, and Vegapunk put down his research work to observe Blitz's structure from outside the operating room.

"Did Siddiel create you?"

"Yes, my master has given me everything."

"So you're here to guard this place on his orders?"

"Yes and no. Blitz came on her own initiative. Kate is a friend, and Blitz is very worried about her."

The cold, mechanical voice was devoid of emotion, yet it struck Vegapunk's heart like a heavy hammer.

"A brilliant idea."

It wasn't a pre-set way of answering, but rather a behavior pattern derived from its own logic. Of all the robots Vegapunk had ever seen, he had never seen a robot as human-like as Blitz.

Moreover, judging from Oran's words, Blitzcrank still has room for improvement and has not yet reached his peak.

Vegapunk didn't say anything more, but just waited with them. After a while, the operating room door light went out, and a nurse came out first.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Director Vegapunk? There's no problem, everything is going smoothly. The biggest problem is probably that it's going too smoothly."

Du Field's connections are mainly in the underworld. You can doubt the character of the doctors and nurses he hires, but you can't question their skills. After all, quacks in the underworld really do get taken down.

These nurses had seen their share of big events, but they had never witnessed such a rapid transplant surgery. From the moment the surgery began, Oran seemed like a completely different person, as if he had transformed from a human into a sophisticated machine.

The incision was made without the slightest hesitation or deviation, and the replacement was completed in less than one-fifth of the time of a conventional surgery. A few minutes were even wasted to make the sutures look better.

But compared to what happened next, this incident seemed insignificant. After all the assistants left the surgery, Oran himself did not leave, and instead delayed for several tens of minutes.

Then Vegapunk saw a person who had just undergone open-chest surgery walk out of the operating room.

"What's going on! Where's the stretcher! Lie back down! Who told you to move around like that?!"

"Calm down, Director Vegapunk. Kate is one of my people. I'm more concerned about her condition than you are. The fact that she was able to walk down on her own means that her body is fine now."

Hextech Heart enhances the body's regenerative abilities, and the Mink Tribe's self-healing speed is already quite high. Combined with the special effects of some luminous light, this is how the current effect was achieved, ultimately challenging Vegapunk's preconceived notions.
