I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

"Go back and think carefully, then do some research." An Ran smiled and said softly, "You'll find what you want."

"This kid is completely being played around by you." Gabby, the little black cat, had somehow scrambled onto An Ran's shoulder as she watched him leave. "Do you think he'll rebel against his own parents?"

"First of all, I have to correct you. He wasn't being played around by me." An Ran shook her head and said, "He simply understood another truth about the world."

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is." Gabby shook his cat head and said, "I'm more concerned about the latter question."

"He won't rebel against his parents." An Ran turned and walked to the window sill, gazing at the distant sky. "Few children would consider their parents their enemies. But he will rebel against this rotten, moldy, and filthy world. I have no doubt about that. He's an excellent child."

947 Law Enforcement Team Opens for Business

"It looks like it's going to rain soon." In the abandoned building in southern Piltover, Jayce looked up at the sky and sighed slightly.

The weather in Piltover now is just like his mood, just as gloomy and as if a storm is about to come.

It was hard to imagine that just two weeks ago, he was full of vigor and ambition, as if the future lay at his feet. But the accident a few days ago completely destroyed everything he had.

Turning around, Jace looked at the shattered house behind him.

That was where his dream began, his laboratory. Years of diligent calculations and sleepless experiments were finally destroyed overnight.

"What should I do?" Jace moved to the edge of the balcony. "What do I have left?"

His heart was truly filled with confusion at this moment, as if his future was also in tatters. If it weren't for his mother's plea, he would probably have been expelled from Piltover by now.

But even with his mother's plea, he still lost everything he should have.

Having lost the support of the Jiraman family, he was also expelled from the academy. This meant that his future had been completely cut short, with no possibility of connecting it again.

Ugh.

With a deep sigh, Jace took two steps forward again, standing at the very edge. He stretched out his arms and leaned forward, as if to transform himself into a free bird, soaring into the sky.

"Um, did I disturb you?" However, before he could fly up, a voice suddenly sounded.

"You?" Jace looked up, and what caught his eye was a rather thin young man. He was wearing the familiar college uniform and holding a cloth bag. "What are you doing here? Is my name on some list again?"

Of course, Jace knew this person and had a very deep impression of him. After all, he had caused trouble for him last time.

"That's true." The thin young man was silent for a moment, then nodded. "But this time, it's listed in your notebook, and on every page. Isn't that a bit narcissistic?"

His business was gentle and he sounded weak.

"So, you came here to humiliate me?" Jace narrowed his eyes.

"Not really." The young man shook his head and said, "I just thought what you said during the trial was very insightful and useful to me. In general, I wanted to talk to you about your research."

"Really?" Jace stared at him and sighed, "In the end, you're the only one who agrees with me." His tone was full of complaints, but his attitude towards the young man softened.

Thinking back to the mockery and ridicule in those people's eyes during the trial, and then looking at the sincerity in the eyes of the young man in front of him, he had a very different experience.

Maybe, this is what friends feel like?

"Your Hextech theory has indeed given me a new idea." As he spoke, the young man took out Jace's notes from the cloth bag.

Taking the notes, Jace shook his head and said, "That's not a theory, that's a fact! I've witnessed the wonders of magic with my own eyes, and I firmly believe it can save many people! But now it's all over, no one believes me anymore!"

"No one believes me, a poor, lame man from Dicheng." The young man smiled indifferently and said, "From the moment I set foot here, they treated me as an outsider. But it doesn't matter. I believe in myself."

"Believe in yourself?!" Jace's eyes widened, as if he was shocked by his words.

"Yes." The young man raised his hand and said, "But when your power is enough to change the world, you don't need to prove yourself to anyone."

"You, your name?"

"My name is Victor."

The two best friends in Piltover had their first meeting, and Zaun was just as bustling. A red cloth covering the plaque was peeled back, revealing the words "Zuan Enforcement Team" in large letters.

"Everyone!" A young man with green hair stood beneath the plaque, his face brimming with pride. He shouted to the crowd, "Today marks the founding of our Zaun Law Enforcement Team! You bastards, from now on, you must obey the law! Otherwise, this is where you'll end up!"

"Bullshit!" Just as he finished speaking, another blue-haired young man objected. "How dare you, a mere Jamet, speak so arrogantly here? What makes you think you can represent the law enforcement team?"

"Because I'm one of the law enforcers hand-picked by Vice Captain Sevika!" The green-haired young man named Jamet said proudly, "Do you think I can do it? I'm telling you, Brett! If you don't accept my decision, I'll take you to the police station right now!"

Listening to the conversation outside, Xiaonan frowned and looked at Sevika across from him. "Is this the team member you found for me? Do you think he looks like a law enforcer?"

Not to mention the law enforcers, even the fucking hooligans would have to call him a hooligan.

"This..." Sevika also felt a little guilty and turned her head away. "After all, we are a startup team right now. It will take time to polish this department before it can truly be put into operation."

"Forget it." Xiaonan sighed and said, "We don't have that much time, so let's hone our skills in practice first."

"Practice?" Sevika was stunned, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Well, I've already chosen my first target." Xiaonan took out the notebook he had prepared earlier and threw it on the table. "Take a look."

Sevika picked up the notebook and opened it. After a long silence, she looked up. "You want to attack Polant?"

"I've done some research, and he's one of the most active sellers of Happy Powder in Zaun." Xiaonan nodded and said, "And he's targeting the lower classes. This is intolerable. Do you understand me?"

"But we and Polant..."

"I don't care what your relationship with him was in the past. You must remember that from now on you are Zaun's law enforcer. A law enforcer exists only to be a public servant of the people of Zaun! Not a friend of some vested interests!"

948 burst

Zuan, Yingou Bridge.

The fact that it bears this name clearly indicates the living conditions here. A dilapidated bridge connects the two sides of the rock face, and below the bridge lies a deep ravine. At the edge of the ravine, bubbling industrial wastewater rises.

The source of this wastewater is an alchemy workshop located on the right side of the ravine. Its owner is Polant, one of Zaun's alchemy barons.

Throughout Zaun, a diverse mix of factions exists. Ever since the former Uncrowned King, Vandel, retired from the world, the major factions have become increasingly fragmented.

Among them, the major alchemy barons of Zaun occupy most of the territory, and their composition is also very complex.

In reality, the so-called "Alchemy Barons" were a self-made nickname. To put it bluntly, they were just small-time thugs. They possessed some alchemical technology, but most of it was used to produce hallucinogens and painkillers.

Few of them have ever thought about innovation, nor do they intend to innovate.

After all, these two potions were best-sellers in both Piltover and Zaun, earning them huge profits. Innovation, on the other hand, entailed taking risks, and if things went wrong, one could end up losing everything. Only a fool would innovate.

It is precisely because of the selfish ideas of these alchemy barons that the environment in Zaun as a whole has become increasingly worse.

Boom.

With a loud bang, the door of the alchemy factory was violently broken open, and clouds of smoke filled the air.

Even the factory owner, Polant, was startled. He looked at the people at the door. "You..." Each of them wore a gray-white coat with a strange, bright silver badge pinned to their chest. They also wore special masks that covered the area below their eyes.

"Long time no see, Polant." One of them stood out from the crowd and took off his mask. "Do you still recognize me?"

"It's you, Sevika?!" Polant's eyes widened as he shouted, "What are you going to do?"

"That's a good question, Polant." Sevika smiled slightly and said, "Look, so many of us are here fully armed. We're definitely not here to reminisce with you, right?"

"We have an agreement!" Polant shouted. "I have an agreement with Vander. We will not interfere with each other!"

"It seems you really don't know anything about the latest situation in Zaun."

Sevika sighed and said, "I'm not here to represent Fandel. I have a new boss." She glanced at Xiaonan, who was standing at the back. "And we have new identities too. We're no longer Fandel's thugs."

New identity?

Polant took a breath, his expression shocked. He had actually expected this. If they were really involved in a gang dispute like the one he had had before, they wouldn't be dressed so uniformly. They looked like high-ranking cops.

Bang.

Just as Sevika finished her words, a muffled sound was heard. The gun in Sevika's hand hummed, and the purple-haired young man standing beside Polant squatted on the ground, clutching his severed arm.

"That won't do, little brother." Sevika blew a breath and said, "Trying to sneak attack our law enforcement team is not allowed."

"Law enforcement team, you mean the law enforcement team?" Polant's eyes widened, and his mouth opened as if a big duck egg could fit in it.

"Yes, that's the law enforcement team you were thinking of, Polant." Sevika spread her hands and said, "Zuan now has its own law enforcement team. The good days of you scum are over."

"Bullshit!" Polant's cheeks flushed red with anger. "You damned bunch, you just want to monopolize all of Zaun! Damn that old bastard, Vandel, you're such a treacherous, ungrateful wretch! How about this... How about this, I'll give you 50% of the profits! 50% of this factory's profits, is that enough? Damn it, you're just vampires!"

"You seem to have made a mistake, Polant." Sevika shook her head and said, "We don't want your dividends. We want Zaun to become a better place."

"Sixty percent, damn it!" Polant was furious and shouted, "This is my bottom line. The most I can give you is sixty percent!"

"I said, Polant." Sevika raised her gun and shot the running machine in the center of the factory.

Boom.

The huge machine exploded directly, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

"Stop judging us by your old values." Sevika retracted her pistol and said calmly, "What we need is a brand new Zaun, not your dividends."

silence.

Polant fell silent for a long time, and it took him a while to recover. "Are you serious?"

"Polant..." Sevika hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. "We'll arrest you for trafficking illegal substances. Please cooperate."

"Illegal goods?" Polant was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "You, Vander's dog, do you really know what illegal means? Whose law is this? Even those scumbag cops in Piltover wouldn't dare call my goods illegal, because their owners buy from me! Do you know how many important people you'd offend if you shut down my factory? Do you understand?"

"Take him away." Sevika was too lazy to waste time talking to him. She was determined to catch this guy today.

"Good, very good!" Polant ripped open his coat without waiting for the law enforcement team to come forward. "You forced me to do this, you forced me to do this... Roar!"

With an inhuman roar, Polant's entire body expanded several times over. His hair grew longer, covering his entire body. Sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and his hands transformed into terrifying claws.

"This, what is this?"

"Monster? Polant turned into a monster?!"

"Deputy Captain Sevika, danger!"

The huge monster that Polant transformed into rushed towards Sevika, and the strong woman obviously had no time to react.

Bang.

There was a muffled sound.

The monster flew backwards, smashing the alchemical container behind it. Dark red alchemical liquid splattered out, staining the monster's entire body.

949 How strong are you?

Hey!

The monster that Polant had transformed into let out a shrill howl. This alchemical potion was clearly extremely corrosive. Even with his monster form, Polant's skin was corroded and pitted.

"You're using this stuff to make a potion for people to consume." Xiaonan said coldly, "You really deserve to die."

Roar!

In response, Polant roared, the intense pain transforming into boundless rage. He directed all of this rage at Xiaonan, raising his claws and charging forward, as if intending to tear her body in two.

But in the next second.

scoff.

A ray of silver light shone between heaven and earth, and wherever it passed, it seemed as if the entire space was torn apart. As the silver light swept past, Polant froze in place.

Bang bang bang.

The furnishings and utensils on both sides shattered into pieces one after another, and the lights in the entire factory began to flicker.

pat.

At that moment, the monster that Polant had transformed into suddenly split in half. The two halves fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"Retreat." Xiaonan said lightly after sheathing his sword.

grunt.

Everyone present, including Sevika, couldn't help but swallow.

The night is getting darker.

Inside the guest room of the Fugen Tavern, Xiaonan stared at the group chat interface in front of him and sent a message: These alchemy barons really deserve to die, they are too corrupt! [Picture]

This corruption is not only reflected in the degree of damage that this hallucinogen causes to the bodies of ordinary people, but also in the money-making power of this alchemy factory.

A factory like this could earn a net profit of 50,000 gold just by selling a batch of potions. This was a frightening amount of money being drawn in, faster than robbing a large bank in Piltover.

No wonder Polant was determined to keep his factory even if he turned into a monster. How could he bear to give up such a money-making monster?
