After talking about some things, including the next meeting, the time for signing the formal agreement, and the time and method of payment, the female assassin left Li Ke's office and told what she had talked about.

They were all handed over to an aunt who was sweeping the floor, and then the aunt who was sweeping the floor handed them over to a Zaun man who was taking out the trash. The Zaun man then stuffed the notes into a specific trash can.

Then, after a few more people changed hands, the information and contract were added to the newspaper, and then the newspaper was rolled into a piece of melon seeds and sold to a person who looked a little uncomfortable.

An unassuming man. Wearing a common coat in Pi City, this middle-aged man who looks like a reporter and scholar is sitting on the flower bed next to the street with great interest, cracking melon seeds and tasting the fresh food.

Several days of newspapers, and the piece of information inside.

This man is called Du Cacao.

"It seems that our Excellency also understands the situation he is in now, but this is fine. Loyalty can always be exchanged for sufficient rewards. After all, the favor of the superior itself represents wealth."

He pointed to the portrait of Hank in the newspaper, but the man next to him who was eating chestnuts understood that he was talking about the guy named Li Ke who kept them busy. And this companion

He took his copy of the newspaper, looked at the subtitle in the newspaper and pondered for a while, and then read it out with sighs.

"But the cleverness of businessmen can always surprise people."

He was lamenting that Li Ke had defeated Pi City and Zaun by himself. This strength and 'wisdom' made him look at him. Of course, he had never expected that the merchants' knees would be so weak.

So when he said this again, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He looked like an old young man who was about to retire and had great opinions on the managers of Piltover.

"But you have to deny that he did a very good job, freeing those workers who were like slaves, and then gathering them together to become his strength, which is similar to what our other generals do in other kingdoms. They are all generals.

Hereditary authority is interrupted, but this authority is forged with money."

Du Kecao looked at the workers on the street with all kinds of food in their arms. The last time he came here, these workers were still not full to eat, but Li Ke, this person with Noxian will

After the people ruled this city, these people lived a life of being able to eat and drink well under the will of Noxus. It is these people who are so ungrateful. It is clearly the will of Noxus.

It brought them all this beauty, but they were so confused and weak, not like Noxians at all.

Obviously, this was a trouble that arose because there were not enough Noxians around Li Ke to accurately spread the will of Noxus to the city. And the people around him also criticized this matter.

, so he would temporarily not return to His Majesty the Emperor to report on his duties, but instead observe these two new cities with himself.

"But this doesn't explain why he didn't mobilize the Noxian manpower later. You must know that his family fully supports him. If he had spoken, there would now be three war groups and a whole regiment here.

The mage is enough to let him do everything he wants to do! And he is so friendly to those beggars and unmotivated guys, so friendly that I don’t even believe that he is the fanatical gladiator that my best friend once said in a letter.

A fearless fighter."

The old man's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. He didn't like these Picheng and Zaun people, especially some of them who were fond of having fun. He felt that Li Ke was completely wasting the empire by giving them food.

of blood.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, because of their family's education, it is normal for our rebellious young master to have misunderstandings about his family's traditions, and because he has been hanging out with those at the bottom for a long time, kind-hearted

Some are normal... After all, he also has the ability to be kind, right? And there are rumors that this young master has the same understanding of Noxus' will as the wise general, so we shouldn't be too harsh on him.

He will wake up to the cruel reality."

Du Cacault, on the other hand, had an indifferent attitude. The appearance of this attitude on the master assassin's face clearly made the old man next to him unhappy.

"You don't really want to win over him, do you? Kocao, since when did it become something to be proud of that misinterpreting the will of Noxus?"

The old man's words were almost accusatory, but Du Cacao obviously didn't care. He touched his chin and said something that made the old man even more angry.

"We all have our own Noxian will, don't we? What's more, this rebellious young master has not yet married his betrothed, and he is a mage, so I am wondering whether to marry Cassiopeine to him.

After all, my unlucky daughter is more like her mother, who wants to be a poisonous snake hiding behind a hunter. Although my eldest daughter is equally useless and looks like a waste, she should still be able to be molded, so she can't

Just give it to him casually."

The old man didn't speak for a long time after listening. He knew that this was because Swain and Li Ke were suppressed together, which made the assassin have some worries, so he was considering leaving a backup plan for himself. After all, his glory and wealth were completely

It is built on His Majesty the Emperor, rather than having a long tradition like his wife's family. So now that the Emperor is gradually becoming dim and aging, he has the idea to connect powerful people to protect the future, which is a

It's quite normal.

What's more, he and Du Quecao knew in their hearts that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor asked him to personally handle Li Ke's affairs and gave such a big gift was to have Du Quecao and

The friendship between Li Ke and Li Ke was meant to reassure both him and Li Ke. But what made him dissatisfied was Du Kecao's wife and his two daughters. After all, neither of his daughters looked like

Just like their father, they are just like their mother, they are poisonous snakes who don't know how to appreciate His Majesty the Emperor's kindness.

"Poisonous snakes don't just bite the prey of hunters. Kecao, don't forget that Swain's events back then also have the shadow of your wife."

So he tried his best to remind the master assassin who had supreme power in the dark that neither his wife nor his daughter could be trusted.

"Of course I know, but who can do anything about it? Just like now, even though we all know that there are going to be waves from all over the world, which will stir up the situation of the world, but we can only stand by and wait for the chess players' orders, right?

?”

Unlike the old man around him who did not have high expectations for His Majesty the Emperor's lifespan, this Master Assassin who was truly relied upon by His Majesty the Emperor knew clearly that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor was determined to give so many things was also

Very simple.

"The key to eternal life."

He looked in the direction of Li Ke and couldn't help but think about it.

An emperor who is forever young and wise, and an empire that is united and ever stronger.

Is there anything greater than this in this world?
