Chapter 218 [0216] A Shocking Change in the Laboratory

In the past period of time, the Zaun Daily and the Piltover Daily had a fierce verbal battle, which greatly attracted the attention of the people in the two cities.

As for the result of the battle...

In general, the two sides were evenly matched.

However, with the publication of the article "Strategic Partners - Rising from the Ruins", the situation became visibly subtle.

The Piltover Daily had previously vowed that Ionian trade would become a new economic growth point for the city.

With such rhetoric, on the one hand, it was to encourage the public's emotions, and on the other hand, it was also the old money who created public pressure.

After all, in Piltover, there are a large number of people related to the Sun Gate, and Piltover trade is an absolute "million-dollar livelihood for the workers".

As a result, Piltover is still looking forward to the future, and Zaun has directly put forward some cooperation agreements.

The distribution center of Ionian trade is me!

For the people of Piltover, especially those in Piltover whose work is related to the Sun Gate, this result is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Even without the old money fanning the flames, these Piltover people who have recently had their work cut and their salaries stopped have taken the initiative to stir up trouble.

Some even shouted "Zauans have taken our business" and began to attack the joint cooperative laboratory of the two cities.

The incident happened suddenly.

Fortunately, Caitlyn had made full preparations for the security of the laboratory because she was competing with Wei. These angry Piltover people did not really cause any damage and were directly arrested and thrown into the Stillwater Prison.

The Piltover Council quickly held an emergency meeting, and Camille appeared in person to warn those old money councillors not to add fuel to the fire at this time.

Facing the powerful Camille, these guys were indignant, but in the end they could only nod their heads and take the initiative to say "This chaos has nothing to do with us" and so on.

Camille looked at them as if she was looking at a group of fools.

It has nothing to do with you?

Then why did these people go to the joint cooperative laboratory to cause trouble?

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't they come to the parliament to petition when such a problem occurs?

Facing Camille's disdain, the three old-money members of the parliament looked at each other, and they were a little unsure of the situation.

They all believed that they did not make any moves at this time, but they were not sure whether the other two people made any moves at this time.

Looking at these three guys looking at each other in bewilderment, the other upstarts all curled their lips, but Camille sensed something was wrong.

Although these three guys were clinging to the interests of the Sun Gate, they were not simple figures after all because they could stand firm in the turmoil of the past few years.

Camille thought it was just a test and warning, and someone wanted to put pressure on the parliament at this time to let Piltover participate in the trade competition and increase its influence on the drilling.

However, from the current situation, it seems that none of the three of them made any moves!

If this is really the case, then something is wrong - if it's not these people, then who else is inciting the people?

Just as Camille was thinking, hurried footsteps and whistles suddenly came from the corridor of the parliament building.

The next moment, Caitlin's deputy pushed the door open and brought a piece of news that stunned all the parliamentarians.

"Something happened at the Joint Cooperation Laboratory. The head of the fifth department, Professor Physis, is missing!"

……………………

After receiving the news, Camille warned all the parliamentarians and simply left the parliament.

Behind her, Jace, who was worried about the progress of the experiment and Victor's physical condition, also left the seat in a hurry and went straight to the laboratory.

Lady Jiraman set out with Jace. She was not worried about Victor, but Caitlin - it was her deputy who came to inform her of the news, which meant that Caitlin might have already taken action.

Caitlin went there to gild herself, not to really deal with the vicious incident!

When Jace, Mel and Lady Jiraman arrived at the periphery of the laboratory on the edge of Piltover, Camille had already surveyed it.

The situation in the laboratory was terrible.

Inside the wall, smoke billowed above the laboratory, and a strange smell filled the air. The experimenters working here rushed out anxiously, and then were arranged to confirm their identities while registering to leave and go to the designated place to rest.

Outside the laboratory, a huge hole was blown open in the wall. Judging from the traces of the explosion, the direction was from the inside to the outside - broken bricks and stones were splashed all over the ground outside the wall, and there were obvious bloodstains on the ground.

"Where is Caitlin?" Seeing this situation, Mrs. Jiraman randomly found a law enforcement officer and asked anxiously, "Where is your leader?"

"She... She left with the person who made the explosion." The law enforcement officer who was named recognized the congressman and did not dare to neglect it. "After the explosion, Miss Caitlin went to check the situation as soon as possible, and then saw Professor Physis being held hostage by a masked man, so she chased him as soon as possible."

"How many teams of law enforcement officers did she bring?"

"..."

The law enforcement officer hesitated for a moment and finally stretched out a finger.

"A team of law enforcement officers... twelve people facing such a guy may not be enough. She needs backup."

"It's a - because someone came here to protest before, half of the law enforcement officers on duty today are escorting people to Jingshui Prison and haven't returned yet." The law enforcement officer swallowed his saliva and explained in a low voice, "When the explosion happened, there were only two teams of law enforcement officers here. Miss Caitlin asked us to stay at the scene and act according to the law enforcement regulations to prevent the accomplices of the prisoners from taking advantage of the chaos to escalate the incident..."

"So you stayed?!" Mrs. Jiraman raised her tone, like an angry lion, "You are dereliction of duty!"

"I tried to chase him, but I didn't catch up." Although the law enforcement officer was tall and fat, facing Mrs. Jiraman's roar, he was like a frightened quail, "Only the security director of the Zaun laboratory next door caught up with Miss Caitlin..."

"Pa——"

Mrs. Jiraman, who could no longer control her emotions, raised her arm and slapped the law enforcement officer in the face without hesitation.

Amid the stunned or terrified expressions of the law enforcement officers, she left a sentence, "If anything happens to Caitlyn, you're all doomed," and then went straight to Camille.

"Dear Gray Lady." Lady Giramane said in a trembling voice, "Catlyn is my only child, nothing can happen to her - no matter what, nothing can happen..."

"Don't worry." Camille's eyes flashed with a dangerous red light, "Things are not as bad as you think. Although the enemy is cunning, they are not strong - Caitlyn, the child, will be fine."

Carya's small classroom·Seats in the Piltover Council:

After Camille took the initiative to step forward, the Piltover Council finally fixed seven seats after a series of changes.

Added 18/30, the final chapter of the Battle of the Two Cities finally kicked off!
