Chapter 482 Confrontation

Transported by two Tyrant Warriors, Li Lin shared one with Caitlin, Kaisha, and Zoe, while Swain and Darius shared one with an adjutant.

The remaining Cuifali soldiers followed the law enforcement officers in two specialized transport floating trucks and arrived at the administrative building after flying for a certain distance.

After getting off the car, Kasha and Zoe were not interested in political affairs, but due to Swain's demonic power, they still chose to stay in Li Lin's office.

Caitlin followed Li Lin and led the way. She was silent all the way, and the empty corridor echoed with the crunch of heels on the marble floor.

The atmosphere between the four of them seemed extremely depressing.

It wasn't until Li Lin invited them to sit down in the meeting hall that originally belonged to members of parliament and was now transformed into a meeting hall for discussing political affairs that Caitlin was visibly relieved.

The original circular table for members has been replaced by a traditional long table with more seats.

Wait until the staff brought tea and snacks in front of Swain and Darius.

Li Lin, who was sitting opposite the two of them, exchanged some nonsense with them. Karina, Mel and Heimerdinger, who had been waiting for the notification, entered the hall through the corridor door on the other side.

Darius glanced at them coldly and quickly looked away.

His duty today was to act as Swain's bodyguard, and he was not interested in what was going to be discussed at this meeting.

Although it may be useless against those Hex guns, and Swain's ability may not require his help, it at least shows that he and the commander are advancing and retreating together.

Heimerdinger took the seat first, sitting next to Li Lin, while Mel and Karina sat next to Heimerdinger and Caitlin respectively.

Mel and Karina maintain diplomacy and economy respectively, and are considered to be more important officials in Piltover.

Because Heimerdinger was one of the founders of Piltover, even if he lost his position as a member of Parliament, he still had to participate in the talks when the heads of state of other countries visited him.

Not to mention Caitlin.

Without the constraints of the MPs and the support of Li Lin, as the leader of Piltover's law enforcement officers, she was equivalent to the "Generalissimo" of other countries in Piltover, holding some military power.

They represent the current face of Piltover.

There was silence in the air.

Li Lin and Swain locked eyes, reflecting on each other the person sitting opposite them.

Affected by the aura of the two people's secret "confrontation", other people in the hall couldn't help but have a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads and backs, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Commander." Li Lin leaned forward, crossed his hands on the table, and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Just call me Swain." Swain smiled politely, and his sonorous voice was like a sharp blade unsheathed, with the edge of a superior temperament, "Can I call you by your first name, Li Lin?"

"Of course, names are just for calling." Li Lin smiled back, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed dozens of ravens landing on the high windowsills on both sides of the hall.

It was a magical species condensed from the magic of the demon Ramo, which was very different from ordinary ravens.

"I heard that a rebellion broke out in the Rocklund Plains recently. Those soldiers actually want to overthrow your rule. It is simply ridiculous.

"In my opinion, since the Grand Commander came to power and issued the Trefari Proclamation of separation of powers, Noxus today is no better than before. It only took more than a year to prosper and is expected to return to its former glory. This is consistent with your correct decision. It’s inseparable from relationships.”

"No, no, if I compare to your brilliance, I am far inferior.

“It only took you two years to climb from a handyman to your current position, and it took me thirty years to accumulate military exploits with the help of the Swain family.

"In terms of ability, I'm really ashamed of myself."

Swain responded politely.

Li Lin laughed, "Where are you? If the pale lady hadn't taken away your troops, you would have killed Irelia and conquered Ionia long ago.

"Besides, just because you conquered the devil, I can't compare with you."

Upon hearing the name "Pale Lady", Darius' pupils suddenly shrank, and even Swain's eyes flashed with solemnity.

Unexpectedly, this kid who had fled Ionia long ago actually knew what happened in Presidence at that time...

But after thinking about it for a moment, Swain felt a little relieved.

The Battle of Navoli was no secret. Irelia Zan had long since become a hero and was praised by the Ionians. It was not difficult for Li Lin to know this.

But, how did he know that LeBlanc diverted my war group's manpower, causing my defeat in Placidium?

The thoughts in my mind were chaotic, but only two or three seconds had passed in reality.

Immediately afterwards, Swain continued without changing his expression: "You can build several mechas that can rival the gods, and you have also defeated the ancient shaman Xerath who once led to the destruction of the Ascension Empire.

"Even if I, a mere mortal, can conquer the devil, how can I compare with you who defeated the Ascended One?

"Not only that, I also heard that you announced your plan to go to heaven some time ago, and it seems that you have made progress?"

Swain's dim red eyes swept over Caitlin and Heimerdinger, and the corner of his mouth raised.

"Being able to enter the heaven is something that many magicians and magicians have dreamed of doing throughout the ages, even demons are no exception."

Except for Heimerdinger and Caitlin, Karina and Mel were stunned.

Li Lin didn't say anything, the two of them didn't understand, and they didn't expect that he could defeat the legendary Ascended One now...

Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

There was no way to hide something like the battle against the Ascended. Shurima was vast and sparsely populated, but there were many Noxian expeditions and war masons.

In addition, Azir claimed that he and Li Lin defeated his enemy Xerath, so it was strange that Swain didn't know about it.

However, he didn't quite understand what Swain meant when he said that "demons" also wanted to enter the heaven.

But this guy cunningly doesn't design much in the areas that interest him.

The two of them didn't get much advantage in their first attempt to expose each other.

With Ramo, Swain can know many secrets and predict the future, but he cannot see through Li Lin's secret.

Li Lin, on the other hand, relied on the advantages of the time traveler's foresight and the intelligence advantages brought about by technological progress, but he could not take advantage in the confrontation with a cunning old man like Swain.

However, if it weren't for the purpose of forming a united human front and gathering as much human strength as possible, there would be no need for him to talk so much to Swain.

In some respects, Li Lin still has a certain upper hand.

Next, both parties made a tacit understanding, quickly skipped this topic, and talked about other things.

For example, Swain's experience in governing a large country and hereditary nobles, Li Lin's ideas for research and development of technology, etc. The conversation was quite pleasant, and the two of them laughed from time to time in the room.

Caitlin, Karina, Mel and Heimerdinger looked a little helpless and remained silent from beginning to end. It could also be said that they had no chance to interrupt at all.

With Li Lin present, they are completely foils.

After the topic meandered around, it finally reached a critical point.

While they were talking about trivial matters between countries, Swain suddenly changed his tone, "I heard a general under my command named Du Couteau say that his daughter and his capable men came to visit Pi City because of the... Your country has been arrested for espionage, is this relevant?"

Have you finally thought about getting down to business?

Li Lin couldn't help complaining in his heart, and his initial impatient mood was suppressed again.

"That's what happened." Li Linnu shrugged, "Katrina and Tyrone cooperated. One restrained me, and the other sneaked into my house secretly and tried to steal my design drawings. This is a serious violation of Piltover's criminal law. the behavior of."

"This is actually a misunderstanding." Swain said, "I sincerely apologize to you for the rudeness of my subordinates."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his coat and handed it to the staff standing on both sides of the hall at any time, asking them to hand the paper to Li Lin opposite him.

"This is a small gift prepared by my subordinates to redeem Catalina and Tyrone. I hope you like it."
