"What can you do about it? Everyone in this city loves this city and will spontaneously protect it. What you do will never be meaningful, because what you want will only be crushed by the people who trust this city. "
She was proud because no matter which school or newspaper, there was no lack of praise for this city and this era. Even though the people at the bottom didn't have much of a bonus, she could guarantee that the newspaper, publishers, police, secret forces, and most of the middle and upper ranks were in her hands. The link between Pi City and Zu An was unbreakable. The people at the bottom could be replaced at any time and any threats could be eliminated.
"So give up. You have a noble status, so you shouldn't mix with those people who are full of mud and stench, right? "
Moreover, in her opinion, Li Ke's current behavior was only because he didn't know his position. As long as he knew his position, this kind of nonsense would immediately disappear from his mind and become a joke.
However, Li Ke stood up, opened the window, and pushed away the tea in Camilla's hand.
"Have you tasted the taste of grass and rats before?"
He asked a question that slightly surprised Camilla.
"Yes. When I became a secret agent of my family, I was trained to taste them. That's why I have an unforgettable memory of their taste."
However, her answer was met with Li Ke's slightly mocking words.
"What a coincidence. The taste of those things is also unforgettable to some people in this world. The difference is that one is disgusting while the other is a rare delicacy. You should have seen those people who can't even eat rats, right? Camilla, do you think they will accept the fact that no one will save them? "
How stubborn.
Camilla passed the tea over again, but she had lost a part of her patience. If it were in the past, she would have killed him without hesitation and let his family choose another person to talk to. However, this wasn't the right time to fight or kill a high-ranking Noxus official, especially a general who might head to Ionia for war. Therefore, she could only be patient and try her best to help Li Ke get rid of his misconceptions.
"Of course. For those who have the ability, regardless of whether it's Zu An or Skin City, it's a place where they can live a good life."
However, Li Ke pushed away the delicate teacup in her hand again, even causing some of the hot tea to spill out and stain Camilla's white gloves. This made her frown again, because this meant that she had to wash her gloves again. Working for work that she shouldn't have done was one of the things she hated the most.
"Is that so?"
Li Ke chuckled and pointed outside the window.
"When I roamed the city at night, I would encounter robberies, murders, or even gang fights every few steps. Yet, you people didn't care at all and allowed them to develop … Can I assume that the reason why you people allowed these gangs to run rampant is to eliminate those who can't even eat rats? After all, these gangs and hoodlums are nothing more than hyenas and vultures. They can only eat rotten meat and when necessary, you people crusade against them? Provide fresh meat? "
From the information he obtained, Li Ke came to know of some of the higher-ups of the 'dark side'. Most of them were smart people who came from poor backgrounds. They formed their own factions and controlled a large number of sweatshop factories. Anyone who wanted to leave their factories would have to consider whether they could afford the 'price', or if they could quickly reach Pi City and settle down there.
Strangely enough, those weapons and low-end products all came from Zu An's factories, but they didn't have any authority, reputation, or influence. They might have some reputation in Zu An, but in Skin City, even the most basic of inns wasn't within their scope of influence. The people of Pi City allowed Zu An's petty thieves to appear in Pi City. They weren't even that strict on the human trafficking business. However, as soon as these higher-ups of the dark side, Zu An's Baron Alchemist, were found to have interfered, the Baron Alchemist would quickly disappear and another Baron Alchemist would quickly rise.
Without a doubt, these people were the white gloves of the upper echelons of Pi City. In addition, they were another way to plunder Zu An's wealth. These mighty Baron Alchemist would die as soon as the upper echelons needed them. From hyenas and vultures, they would become fat pigs.
It could even be said that all high-end industries and high-end technology were not something these Baron Alchemist could touch. Even though their subordinates could obtain many high-end products from Hex technology, it was impossible for them to produce them themselves. They could be mysteriously killed or confiscated at any time. However, even if the news of the Baron Alchemist being killed by the enforcers of Pi City could be easily gathered, many people in Zu An still yearned for this position. After all, as long as they were in that position, they wouldn't have to work personally anymore. They would be able to enjoy luxurious clothes and expensive food, as well as large amounts of Hex technology.
"Any city will inevitably need these cute dogs. Don't you like obedient dogs? They are hardworking and obedient. I think no one would dislike such dogs. Even in the capital of Noxus, aren't there Draconians and Hounds? Aren't they also quite popular? Also, do you really think that those with power have to sacrifice for those without power? This was a cruel world that required efficient exercise. Those who had no ability but wanted to obtain everything were nothing more than a bunch of barking dogs with broken backs. They were only fit to howl on the ground and silently become food for those who had the ability to do so. Those who aren't worth saving aren't worth saving. Those who can't even stand up on their own, how can they be worth saving by someone with power like you? Mercy is always a virtue, Mr. Li Ke. But you've given it to the wrong person. "
Slave traders and assassins. They were in Noxus and they were in this position. The only difference was that their execution was slightly different from Pi City, but overall, there wasn't much difference.
She handed him the tea again, but this time, Li Ke spoke when she was about to move.
"So, the world you see is grey?"
"The world is neither black nor white, sir. It is an exquisite grey."
Li Ke shook his head and wanted to push the tea away, but this time, Camilla interrupted him.
"This tea is with your blood, sir."
The man who was threatened was stunned for a moment. He smiled and picked up the tea under Camilla's relaxed smile.
Then, he splashed the tea on Camilla's face.
"But my blood has never emitted a stench, Miss Camilla."
