I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

Skirt-lifting maniac: It’s horrible. This is how people pursue profit.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: But with your sudden action, the other Alchemy Barons must have gotten wind of it. They'll definitely launch a frantic counterattack, so we need to act fast.

Li Mochou was not worried that Xiaonan would not be able to defeat these alchemy barons. She was worried that these alchemy barons would cause harm to ordinary civilians before Xiaonan took action.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Well, I plan to deal with them all tomorrow.

Book artist: Are those former gangsters still useful? Did they cause you any trouble?

Angels of the Hidden Rain Village: Speaking of which, they're pretty good people. Although they used to be gangsters, they genuinely care about the future of Zaun. They also obey orders.

Just as Xiaonan sent this message, there was a knock on the door.

After a quick glance, Xiaonan stood up and opened the door. "It's so late, what's wrong?"

Standing outside the door was the muscular woman Sevika, a bit embarrassed and awkward. "Well, it's nothing serious. Just a few questions..."

"Okay, let's talk outside." Xiaonan nodded and took her out of the Fugen Tavern.

"Well, I just want to ask." Sevika took a breath and said, "What will happen to the remaining workers at the Portland factory? Will they all be imprisoned?"

"Why do you ask such a question?" Xiaonan blinked and said, "Do you think those workers are also criminals?"

Sevika pondered for a moment and said, "As Polant's hired men, although they are not the main culprits, they can be considered accomplices."

"It appears so from a legal perspective, but in reality, it's not." Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Once they enter the factory to start production, their will no longer belongs to them, but to the factory owner. They have no right to choose; they simply work to survive. So, strictly speaking, they should be considered victims."

"But..." Sevika paused, then said, "When we were arresting Polant, these workers were on his side."

"That's because they were still employing Polant at the time," Xiaonan explained pointedly. "Now that Polant is dead, these workers have become his former victims. As Polant's employees, most of the surplus value they created was actually exploited by Polant. Their meager wages are barely enough to sustain their own survival."

call.

Hearing this, Sevika breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Captain. Thank you for speaking up for these poor people."

"So, are you testing me?" Xiaonan turned around and asked.

"No, that's not the case." Sevika quickly shook her head and said, "Even if you say these people are guilty, I can understand. And I will still carry out your orders. However, deep down, I feel that they are innocent... Isn't that strange?"

"No wonder. This actually proves you still have a conscience." Xiaonan waved his hand and smiled, "Remember, Sevika. Although we are Zaun's law enforcers, the essence of the law is to serve the people. Who are these people? Not those wealthy nobles, nor those corrupt chem-barons! But the workers, the majority of the poor. All our law enforcement procedures should be carried out with the principle of serving them as the core."

"So, are we the representatives of the poor?" Sevika nodded suddenly.

"Not as a representative, but as a service provider." Xiaonan smiled and said, "While serving them, we must also lead them on the road to prosperity. This is what we need to do. This is also why I kept the factory and didn't completely destroy it."

"Do we have to learn how to run a factory?" Sevika asked doubtfully.

"Of course." Xiaonan looked up at the sky and said, "We must not only learn to run factories, but also build schools, cultivate land, and develop industry! Otherwise, how can we lead the people of Zaun to prosperity?"

"I understand." Sevika breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have one last question. Just how strong are you?"

950 Camille's Shock

The mansion of the Ferros family in the east of Piltover.

Dozens of richly dressed dignitaries gathered here, among whom sat a middle-aged man with silver hair.

His name was Al Firoz, the current head of the Firoz family and a councilor of Piltover. He was also the initiator and convener of this meeting.

"Everyone, the situation has reached a very dangerous point." Ayr narrowed his eyes with a solemn expression and said calmly, "Those trash from the Undercity dared to openly provoke us!"

"what?"

"How dare they?"

"It's just looking for death!"

The dignitaries present were outraged, but some were still confused. "What on earth just happened?"

"Grayson brought back news from Dicheng this morning," one of them explained to him, "Those Dicheng people are actually planning to form a law enforcement team."

"Law enforcement team?" The man, who was initially confused, was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "Those people from Dicheng actually want to form their own law enforcement team?"

"That's right, they even elected a law enforcer."

"Hahahaha, too funny! This joke is hilarious! Those people from the Undercity still want law enforcement officers? Do a bunch of gutter bugs still need order?"

"It's hilarious, but they're actually already doing it. Not only that, they also said that the Undercity will be out of our control in the future."

"Looking for death!" Someone immediately slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Dicheng is our Dicheng, and they actually want to openly split it?"

"Everyone, please be quiet." Al clapped his hands and said, "The current situation is that they have indeed done so. According to the latest information from my informant, the factory in Portland has been wiped out by them."

"what?"

"Damn it, how dare they!"

"That factory contains my hard work!"

"Yes, it's because this problem is so serious." Al nodded and said, "That's why I've gathered you all here for a discussion. I assume that others here have also invested in the Dicheng factory. Do you want to watch your hard work go to waste?"

Although they didn't speak, the bigwigs present were all filled with indignation and anger.

"How dare a mere low-level scum challenge the Master?" Al raised his gaze and said calmly, "What do you all think we should do?"

"Notify Grayson and start the fight." One of the tall and thin men raised his hand and said calmly, "The glory of Piltover must not be desecrated!"

"I agree with Priss and support going to war."

"I agree. Besides, don't you think we're too tolerant of the people of Dicheng? Many people are already dissatisfied with this! They are protesting against us!"

"But we are not council members. The final decision on whether to go to war or not will still be made by the Council."

"Leave the parliament to me." Al's tone was full of confidence. He said lightly, "As long as everyone here stands behind me and supports me, that will be enough."

"It's all for Piltover!"

"That's right, everything is for Piltover!"

The brief meeting ended, and except for Al, the other important figures left one after another. After seeing off the guests, Al stood up and walked upstairs.

I stood at the door of the fourth room and knocked gently, and Al pushed the door open and walked in. "Sister."

Sitting on the sofa in the room was a tall and slender woman, also with silver hair. However, she looked only about thirty years old and quite pretty.

"You're here, Al." The woman put down the book in her hand and stood up.

Only then could I clearly see her height: very tall. Compared to Al, who stood 5 feet 4 inches tall, the woman must have been at least two meters tall. Her legs weren't just ordinary human thighs; they were blades! Extremely sharp blades!

The woman is the Steel Shadow, Camille, the defender and protector of Piltover, and undoubtedly its strongest.

But in front of Al, she looked like an ordinary brother-con, with a smile on her face and a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister, we're in big trouble." Al controlled his facial expression and pretended to be indignant. "The factory we invested in Dicheng was destroyed by Dicheng thugs!"

"An investment factory?" Camille narrowed her eyes and asked, "Isn't your factory in a suburban grain and oil store?"

"There is one in Dicheng, too." Al sighed and said, "Sister, do you know how miserable the people in Dicheng are living? They can't even get enough food to eat every day, so I thought of opening a factory in Dicheng! But, but now..." At the end, he even shed two tears.

"Excessive! This is truly excessive!" Camille was filled with righteous indignation, her face filled with anger. "Who was it? Tell me, who destroyed that factory!"

Humph, I fell into the trap.

El was excited inside, but pretended to be in pain on the surface. "Forget it, sister! Those guys don't have any bad intentions. They just treat my factory as..."

Boom.

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth.

Camille and El looked out the window and saw that the tall tower statue standing in the center of Piltover Academy had broken in the middle and collapsed.

"This, this is..." Camille's eyes were glazed over, her gaze fixed on the spot where the statue had collapsed. She had clearly noticed a small stone flying by.

Such a deafening explosion was witnessed by not only the natives of Piltover but also the residents of Zaun. Most people cheered and felt that these Piltover people had been punished by God.

Only Sevika was stunned, staring at Xiaonan. "You..."

"How about it, did you see it clearly just now?" Xiaonan curled his lips and smiled slightly.

silence.

Sevika fell into an unspeakable silence.

She saw it clearly, of course, but that was precisely why she found it so hard to believe. Standing underground in Zaun, she had actually pierced through the statues at Piltover Academy with just a small stone.

Is this really something humans can do?

951 Greetings from the Abyss

Freljord Highlands, Howling Abyss.

buzzing.

A soft chime echoed, and a dark yellow beam shot straight into the sky. A massive semicircular shield formed above the Howling Abyss.

"That's all." Unohana Retsu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly, "It should be able to hold it off for a while."

This shield is a special defensive barrier composed of forty-five layers of barriers, theoretically capable of withstanding the simultaneous attacks of over sixty giant bug-level enemies.

But she didn't say it too confidently, just saying it should be. Because the void was a special type of enemy, no one knew if there was anything more powerful than the giant bug in the void.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ash nodded and said softly, "I have prepared food for you."

"Is it beef again today?" Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "Is it spicy?" As he spoke, he opened a group chat with his mind.

Wild Bulls are a common and bizarre creature in Freljord. They are large, weighing at least five tons. Covered in long hair, they look extremely powerful.

Although this creature may seem formidable, it is actually a bottom-dwelling species on this frozen plateau. Most carnivores here, including humans, prey on the wild bull.

"I know your taste, don't worry." Ashe winked and smiled, "Also, Tryndamere also hopes that you can train him this afternoon."

"Well, let him come over." Unohana Retsu did not refuse. She was a very qualified swordsmanship coach.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Sister Hua, when are you coming over? If you don't come, I'm going to teleport away using the Hextech portal!

The Evil Leader of Soul Society: Then I wish you a safe journey.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Hey, stop it! I was just kidding, how could I possibly leave you? You're my goddess, and a super goddess!

Skirt-lifting maniac: The goddess is okay.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: If I were to be transported to the starry sky without you, what would I do? I'm unfamiliar with the place, and there are only vicious star spirits and giant gods! I can't defeat them all by myself!

The villain of Soul Society: So, you’re planning to drag me down with you, right?

Book artist: Hahahaha, laughing to death!

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: How can you say that? We are in this together!

The villain of Soul Society: Thank you!

Hatchet Girl: So, Piltover has now completed the development of the Hextech Flying Gate?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: No, it's still early. I went to Piltover the day before yesterday to sneak a peek at Jayce's progress. They just set up the lab. And that lab is still very rudimentary.

Book artist: My goodness, this is probably going to take a long time.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Yeah, they say it takes years to make Hextech gems stable and harmless. So, I'm planning to focus on developing Zaun for the time being. Yesterday, I knocked down a few more alchemy factories producing LSD. That was a blast!

Hatchet Girl: It feels a bit like fighting against the rich and dividing the land.

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Does anyone play Landlord? If not, I’ll ask again later.

Wig: Gintoki, I want to go to the pirate world... Can you receive me later?

Curly-haired guy:? Don’t even come here, you’re not welcome here!

Wig: Why do you say that about Gintoki? Aren’t we the closest comrades?

Curly-haired guy: Who the hell is your comrade? I’m living very comfortably here alone!

Miss Beaver: It’s great that everyone has found something to do.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: What do you mean? Does Hermione have nothing to do now?

Miss Beaver: It's not that I have nothing to do, it's just that I've been very idle lately. The Magic Council is on the right track now, and they don't need me anymore.

Book artist: Why don’t you come to my side? I’m currently working on eliminating the aristocracy system.

This is an actor: How is the situation in the abyss on your side?

Book artist: Still no movement. According to people on the front line, they stopped after conquering the Far Western Empire.

When the message was sent, Ying Lili was taking Jessica shopping on the street. Today was the traditional day of worship in the Vandersey Empire, and they were planning a sumptuous banquet tonight.
