Chapter 137 [0135] Authority

Camille wasn't so arrogant as to completely ignore a congressman - the reality was that Levi's choice of time to visit was unfortunate.

Camille is not in the manor now.

Not only was Camille not here, Cagalli was not here either.

In this case, when Levi appeared outside the manor with an alchemy baron from Zaun and several heavily armed thugs and started knocking on the door, it was naturally not good for the Feros Manor without a person who could speak volumes. Get them right into it.

Especially since Levi was vague about the reason for his visit.

"I need to see the Gray Lady." When someone asked, Levi used a relatively euphemistic way of saying, "It concerns the future of this evolutionary city..."

Obviously, this vague statement did not allow him to obtain the right of passage. Helpless Levi could only stay outside the manor with Finn, pretending to look around until Camille returned half an hour later.

Camille seemed a little surprised to see Levi.

"Your Excellency Levi, and an... alchemist baron from Zaun, this is really an unexpected combination." After the door opened, Camille said in a rare tone of surprise, "Please come in, it seems that it has really happened recently. Not very peaceful."

In the small room where Heimerdinger had formed an alliance, Camille took Cagalli to meet Levi in ​​a relatively formal manner.

Then, from Finn's mouth, the Gray Lady learned in detail the amazing changes in Zaun during this period.

Unlike Levi's surprise, perhaps because he had heard the news a long time ago, or perhaps because he was not surprised, Camille did not show too much surprise.

"So, do the Zaans want to attack the Gate of the Sun again?" Camille took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said in an understatement, "They haven't learned their lesson from the last failure. "?"

"Piltwurf needs your protection." Levi did not answer the question directly, but kept his posture very low, "Dear Gray Lady, sooner or later, Zaun's turmoil will affect the entire Piltover. I have no intention of opposing your strategy, but at this juncture, perhaps we should be more careful...at least not give those people an opportunity."

"So, do you want the parliament to temporarily stop the reform?" Camille put down the tea cup and asked quite directly, "For the sake of pursuing stability?"

"Yes, in order to stabilize the situation, reform is necessary, but it should not be rushed." Levi nodded with a very sincere expression, "Personally, I do have a certain amount of investment in Zaun, but frankly speaking , those investments have now been completely wasted...I am here today purely for Piltover.”

Levi's words made Camille couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Her glowing eyes stared at the chestnut-haired guy in front of her, and for the first time, an unexpected and interested expression appeared on her face.

"If you are really thinking about Piltover." Camille said with a hint of warning in her tone, "Maybe you should have come to me two days ago - before those stupid guys tried to unite When we are together.”

Camille's words caused Levi's cold sweat to break out from his back quickly. Under the well-tailored dress, Nashemela's silk shirt became soaked in the blink of an eye.

Two days ago, several congressmen who were dissatisfied with Camille's reforms did find Levi through private relationships, hoping that he could join them and use relatively mild means to oppose Camille's reforms and let this arbitrary leader The Gray Lady suffered a little.

However, Levi had not yet made up his mind at that time, so he chose to wait and see pretending not to know about this hint.

And now... Levi was suddenly very happy that he was not hot-headed.

The Gray Lady even knows about this secret alliance!

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Levi." She said don't be nervous, but in fact Camille seemed to be happy to see the other party's awkward performance. She picked up the cup again and happily took a sip of the thick drink. Black Tea, "The fact that you are willing to stand here today at least shows that you are not stupid or irredeemable - if there were members like you in the parliament, Piltover would undoubtedly run much smoother."

At first glance, Camille's words seemed to be a compliment and a promise to Levi to continue to be a councillor, but the slightly teasing tone still made Levi feel on pins and needles.

This feeling of not having even a little secret was really too uncomfortable. Camille's twinkling eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her own heart.

There is nothing worse for a politician.

Therefore, Levi could only nod his head in agreement.

"I said, don't be nervous." Camille put down the tea cup, "When I was a child, my father once taught me a truth - for a part, no matter how ugly or unflattering its design is, , but as long as it is irreplaceable, no one will give it up, and I always think this statement makes sense.”

"Yes...yes." Levi nodded again, and then changed the topic a little stiffly, "Just like Zaun, even if it is dirty and messy, we still need it..."

"It's not Zu An, it's you." Camille didn't give him a chance to continue practicing Tai Chi. "And, to be honest, your chestnut hair is very flattering and always reminds me of an old friend."

"That's my honor..."

"..."

"..."

After drinking a lot of tea, Levi hurriedly left the Philos Manor without asking who the old friend was.

For this senator, what he needs to pay attention to is not the old friend of the Gray Lady, but his own future.

Levi thought that through this Zaun incident, he could lean towards Camille in a relatively independent manner without leaving a trace, and while making a choice, he also left a little buffer for his future.

But after really facing the Gray Lady, this originally loud little calculation was quickly thrown out of Levi's mind.

This time, Levi was fully aware that in front of the Gray Lady, the so-called alliance of other senators was nothing but self-destruction.

For their sabotage plan, the Gray Lady even knew more about it than the planner!

In this case, Levi abandoned his position without hesitation and simply turned to the Gray Lady.

Although he was still not sure what position he would be in after Piltover experienced a change.

But at least from the current situation, he is much better than those stubborn colleagues.

As for Zaun...

If Levi was still a little worried about the sudden change in the situation in Zaun before, but after meeting Camille, he was full of confidence.

Before, Levi, who was still silently mocking Finn in his heart while waiting to enter the manor, did not realize that his appearance after meeting Camille was exactly the same as Finn who had seen him.

Today's chapter is a shorter transition, and I will slightly adjust my work and rest schedule - I don't know what happened recently, the quality of my sleep is extremely poor, and my biological clock is even more terribly messed up.
