Chapter 258 【0256】 Bad Luck

After persuading Tamara, Swain's business team added another person.

Although Tamara herself has little combat power, as an ace spy, she can help Swain fill in many gaps in intelligence by checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps.

For example, after Tamara joined and learned a little about Swain's plan, she quickly realized a key person.

"Miss Mel is the actual helmsman of the Midalda family. Mr. Jagu is now out of date."

"What did he say about operating in Piltover for many years and holding many patents?"

"It's old news. Mel Midalda and Councillor Jace Talis are an engaged couple and are about to get married - and Jace Talis is the founder of Hextech." Tamara quickly sorted out the internal relationships of these Piltover merchants and nobles, "So, if we need to rely on the power of the Midalda family to control Piltover, we need to hold Miss Mel in our hands."

After receiving the news, Swain called Jagu immediately.

When Jagu Midarda saw Swain, the old man was already sweating profusely - judging from his restless performance, he didn't seem to be in a good condition.

"Didn't you fight with Ms. Mel?" Relying on the information provided by Tamara, Swain lied as soon as he opened his mouth, "Did she run away?"

"How...how do you know?" Jagu, whose mind was discovered, was sweating like a pulp, "Respected Sir Swain, it was just a small accident."

"So, is the Midarda family under your control?" Swain didn't care about Jagu's excuse, "Gunoga has shown its strength. Is it possible that Midarda can only provide a few maps?"

Swain's words made Jagu extremely anxious - he never expected that he would fail when he sent a team to arrest Mel and Jace? !

"That was just an accident." In this case, all Jagu could do was to repeatedly assure, "Jace's combat effectiveness exceeded expectations - but it doesn't matter, we have forced them away!"

……………………

Was Jace forced away?

Yes

Let's go back a little bit - from the end of that special meeting of the councilors.

As a pacifist, Jayce does not want Piltover and Zaun to engage in a full-scale confrontation. Although he has always been prejudiced against Zaun, this does not mean that he wants Piltover to tear its face with Zaun through such a means that is close to war.

On the one hand, it is because the joint cooperation experiment of the two cities is related to the life and death of his friends. On the other hand, Jayce is absolutely confident in himself.

Maybe the Zaun people have mastered some new technology, but the potential of Hextech is endless!

We can also win the fair and just technology and business competition. Why do we have to engage in this kind of confrontation that may hurt the enemy by a thousand and ourselves by eight hundred, and may even trigger a violent war?

But unfortunately, in the Piltover Council, only Jayce is a true technical and pacifist.

In the face of a group of votes in favor, Jayce's persistence alone is meaningless.

Jayce, who had no choice but to leave the parliament building, was depressed.

In this way, the depressed Jayce decided to devote himself to work to get rid of this unhappy mood.

The Talis family used to be engaged in tool processing - in other words, his family used to forge hammers.

Although he went to the Piltover Academy of Science and Progress as a genius, Jayce spent a lot of time by the fire during his youth, and the means of making a living finally became a unique hobby for him.

In his spare time, Jayce has been forging a hammer - but this is not a simple hammer, but a high-tech hammer that uses all the Hextech science and technology that Jayce has mastered.

In Jayce's plan, this hammer will have multiple forms, functions and uses, including deformation attacks, energy shocks, shield generators, and acceleration fields.

With a romantic inventor, he decided to use this hammer as his first prototype.

Now he is in a bad mood, so Jayce simply ran to the private forging workshop and modified his hammer shirtless.

Mel rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to relieve Jace who was in a bad mood. As Jace's "political brain", Mel knew that the decision of the parliament was irresistible after hearing about it, and she just wanted Jace to accept it calmly.

Then, before Jace's anger subsided, the assassins of the Midalda family followed the trail.

Objectively speaking, as the former head of the Midalda family, the assassins recruited by Jagu Midalda were very good in terms of strength and equipment.

They used Hextech weapons that flowed into the black market and were tacitly allowed to be used as private armed forces of various families. In order to ensure that there was no risk, they also took the Noxus military-style glimmer diluent. Since Singed was arrested, the price of glimmer has soared. Even a tube of glimmer diluent costs more than twenty gold hexes.

The Midalda family was qualified to be a patented vampire, and this secret assassin team also made a lot of efforts.

The problem is that these assassins are good at killing, but not at Hextech - they can use the tools at hand skillfully, but they know nothing about how these tools work.

So, when they just arrived outside Jayce's private laboratory, Jayce in the laboratory received an alarm.

Jayce didn't know who these people were.

But Mel only took a look with the Hexscope and realized that something was wrong.

"They are Jagu's men!" Mel widened his eyes in disbelief, "Is he going to attack me? Damn it, how dare he!"

Mel, realizing that something might have happened, urged Jayce to leave, but Jayce, who was already unhappy, got stubborn and got angry - run? Run for a living!

Although there is still a big gap between Jayce and Heimerdinger in the level of automation design, this private laboratory still has some automated security. Just when these killers were looking for the best place to climb over the wall, the coil hidden in the corner suddenly charged, and a guy who was too close to the wall felt an electric shock.

Seeing his companion twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and scars caused by arc burns on his palms, how could the other six people not know that they were discovered?

It seems that the infiltration assassination has failed... Then change another way, just use force!

The next moment, the leading assassin took out the spare battery of his energy weapon, then carefully disassembled it, took out a Hex core from it, and stuffed it into the keyhole of the laboratory door.

With a bang, the door of Jayce's private laboratory was opened.

The six assassins rushed in - then, they did not see their target Mel, but saw Jayce who was fully armed and holding a war hammer.

Kalya's small class · Engagement:

Jayce and Mel held an engagement ceremony not long ago, but unfortunately Mel did not seem to have received the blessing of her mother.

PS. Today, I cleaned the dust on my computer case and replaced the RGB fan with a set of quiet fans from Xianma Game Storm. When I was typing at night, I suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness.

The fan that used to whirr and shine is now pitch-black and quiet. In the silent night without turning on the air conditioner, the whole world seems to be left with only the click of my keyboard.

Looking at the darkness inside his translucent case, the author suddenly had a subtle enlightenment.

For a man, is it a sign of maturity - or aging - to replace the fancy RGB fan with a quiet, lightless fan?

I feel quite sad about this feeling.

Forget it, I won't stay up late today. I will adjust my work and rest schedule. An old man needs to go to bed early and get up early. I will continue to update tomorrow.
