Chapter 273 [0271] A Just Cause

When Lux led the group to the parliament building, the Noxian flag hanging outside the curtain wall had just been taken down.

But even so, Camille had no time to care about anything - she knew very well that the situation in Piltover was now a situation where wolves were kept out of the front door and tigers were let in from the back door. She didn't think that the Zaun people were really here just to resist the invasion.

Most people are self-taught in extortion.

Especially after learning that Lux had annihilated thousands of Noxian main forces by herself, Camille raised her vigilance to the maximum. Although according to Heimerdinger, it seems that Lux used some kind of summoning spell, it is still quite scary!

It is precisely because of the current extreme strength of the Zaun people that Camille's usual tough attitude is likely to cause some unnecessary problems, so she has no time to deal with those guys who are looking for death.

At this time, Lady Gray needs some time to prepare a set of neither humble nor arrogant rhetoric for herself.

It would be best to make the Zaun people shut up and not make too many demands.

Of course, that said.

The Zaun people sent rescuers, so Piltover will have to pay a price.

The most important thing at the moment is to draw a bottom line for this price.

Opening up commercial trade, transit import of materials, sharing of some technologies...

Piltover still has many cards to play.

Thinking of this, Camille finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the Zaun people are good at fighting is actually somewhat beyond Camille's expectations.

But being able to fight cannot solve all problems!

At the negotiation table, Piltover is still more confident!

……………………

The light guided the Zaun law enforcement team and arrived smoothly in front of the Piltover Parliament Building.

When they arrived, Camille had been waiting here for a long time.

As Camille stepped forward to greet and Lux ​​took the initiative to step out, the actual leaders of Piltover and Zaun met for the first time in a formal occasion and in an open and aboveboard manner.

This time, Camille finally had to put on a polite smile on her face, and took the initiative to extend her arm to shake hands with Lux, expressing her gratitude at the first time.

"For Zaun's support, Piltover is grateful!"

This is a polite remark, and also a characterization - the Zaun people are here to support.

However, what Camille never expected was that Lux reacted very quickly, and the answer she gave was also very aggressive.

"It's my job, no need to thank me, after all, Oshla Vaz'an is one."

Oshla Vaz'an is one?

This sentence itself is not wrong.

After all, in history, Piltover and Zaun were indeed one city - but with the opening of the Sun Gate, the gap between the rich and the poor in this city widened rapidly, and eventually split into today's Piltover and Zaun.

Lux was obviously not talking about history when she mentioned this at this time. Camille was just stunned for a moment, and then she realized Lux's subtext, and a terrifying idea appeared in her mind.

"Could it be that Zaun wants to take the opportunity to annex Piltover?"

If someone had said this to Camille before, she would have thought that the other person was crazy - how could the Zaun conquer Piltover? How could they maintain the operation of the city after conquering Piltover?

Yes, Camille can admit that Zaun has indeed changed a lot in the past three years, but compared to Piltover, Zaun is still a city that has just started not long ago. Whether it is industry or commerce, the two are simply incomparable!

However, this failed invasion of Noxus almost tore apart all the whitewashing of Piltover.

Facts have proved that Piltover will also feel fear in the face of pure barbarism and violence; under the threat of life, there are no fewer surrenderists in Piltover!

It cannot be said that the Noxians broke the bones of Piltover. It can only be said that the Noxians exposed the fact that most of the Piltover senior officials were spineless without reservation.

At this time, Lux suddenly spoke with a hint of meaning, which made Camille extremely vigilant.

"So we should maintain this friendly relationship." Although she was doubtful in her heart, Camille remained calm on the surface, "The Noxians are eyeing us covetously. Only by working together can we resist the invasion of the Noxians."

There is no doubt that Camille's words contain some warnings and reminders-the Noxians are currently the biggest trouble, Zaun should not think too much!

"Noxus is busy with its own affairs, and this kind of warlord leader's lone act can only happen once and not again." Lux laughed, "Moreover, if there were no Gunoga and Midalda families as internal support, the Noxians would not be able to fly over the Great Barrier."

Lux's response made Camille a little overwhelmed for a while.

Is this Noxian offensive a warlord's lone act? Noxus is now in a state of panic? Where did the Zaun people get this information?

Is this true, or is Lux fooling me?

Moreover, the second half of the sentence seems to be a criticism of the Gunnoga family and the Midalda family, but it also contains some irony about Piltover's "self-inflicted consequences".

As Lux said, if there is no insider, the Noxians have only two ways to cause trouble for Piltover: attacking the port and crossing the Great Barrier. No matter which way, it is impossible to be as easy as today.

"There are bad apples everywhere." Camille could only answer dryly, "but at least there is no big loss."

"It's good that there is no big loss." Hearing Camille say this, Lux seemed to be relieved, and a very satisfied look appeared on her face, "In this way, I can also take back Zaun's things with confidence."

"Take back Zaun's things?" Camille was quite surprised, "Is there anything from Zaun left in Piltover?"

"Of course there are things from Zaun that have been left in Piltover." Lux nodded, "Isn't it the Sun Gate?"

Even though she reminded herself many times in advance to stay calm, Camille could no longer stay calm after hearing about the Sun Gate.

"That's impossible!" She answered firmly, "All the shares of Sun Gate and the port are in Piltover. Starting from the original shares, every transaction and transfer of shares has clear records-"

"Yes, there are records." Lux nodded and finally looked serious, "But the problem is that the people who built Sun Gate didn't get any original shares at all."

Karliya's small class·Sun Gate's original shares:

When Sun Gate was built, it was publicly recruited-but the workers responsible for the specific construction couldn't afford even one share.
