"Everyone knows what our new Emperor is planning to do, right?"
After reading the message from Hank and his spy, a gentleman asked his question in a restrained and angry manner. The other gentlemen sitting with him responded because they had also received the new report on the treatment of workers.
"Of course."
"It's clear. His idea is no doubt wishful thinking and insane."
"No doubt, he's going against the entire human race."
"He's also going against civilization."
"He's hopeless."
"Reconsider. He's no different from a Devil."
"I can't imagine how terrifying Skin City will be under his rule."
"Hell on Earth."
"Beast!"
"Good. Then it seems like we have to think of a way to overthrow the rule of this terrifying Devil."
But after a young gentleman said that, everyone looked at him in silence. He adjusted his clothes in embarrassment and swallowed his saliva. But soon, everyone stopped paying attention to the young man. Instead, they looked at the other gentleman who spoke.
"What did the Noxus say? What do they think of our esteemed Mister? "
In this smoke-filled cell, the gentlemen toasted each other and exchanged tobacco. But no matter what they were enjoying, they weren't in a good mood and the atmosphere in the cell was tense and uneasy. Of course, this wasn't only due to Li Ke's reign of terror. It was also because they realized that the rules and benefits they had built were crumbling.
"Still the same. His words are vague and he keeps evading. The Noxian officials we've been in contact with have claimed that they've never seen the general before. They only know that he's the only son of a powerful family and that his father has a close relationship with the emperor and enjoys unimaginable favor. "
This was bad news because it meant that they wouldn't be able to receive any help from Noxus to send the damned Noxus people back to their damned Noxus fortress.
But no matter how much money they had to pay, they still had to do it. Otherwise, their benefits would disappear completely. Therefore, a pot-bellied old man with a peaceful face took a puff of his cigar and asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"To what extent?"
The black-haired gentleman who revealed this information waved his hand and took a sip of the iced wine.
"His father saved the Emperor's life three times and used his lack of ability as an excuse to give up countless benefits and glory to head to Freldrod to defend the borders of the Empire. He even sent his three daughters and eldest son to the battlefield and they all died there. Although his elder sister died a long time ago, she was conferred the title of Concubine by the Emperor. Most importantly, this general was the one who helped His Majesty ascend to the throne. Furthermore, he was His Majesty's childhood playmate. "
He swirled his wineglass.
"That's probably the favor."
His words immediately silenced the entire prison cell, and no one was able to speak for a long time. After a long time, a white-haired old man shook his head and spoke.
"Then they might as well send their troops to attack us. That way, we can simply surrender and cooperate. Why would things turn out this way?"
For someone of such status to conquer their city and prepare to transform it, it was no different from the Emperor of Noxus personally leading an expedition.
"Who knows? After all, according to our previous intelligence, His Majesty is so obsessed with immortality that he has lost all his ambitions. The old officials who followed him back then have been completely marginalized or forgotten. But now, it seems like the Emperor's obsession with eternal life is just a cover to make others lower their guard and think that he's cruel and brainless. His true goal is still to unify this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a guy. "
After everyone started talking again, the black-haired gentleman repeated his conjecture and poured himself another glass of wine.
"That's why we have no choice."
His words seemed to have stirred up a thousand huge waves. The spacious prison cell immediately began to fiercely discuss, and there was no lack of people who spoke of shocking deeds. For example, they could assassinate Li Ke and everyone around him and let Li Ke die or simply go crazy. This would solve all the problems. But this was only a minority. After all, Li Ke and the others couldn't defeat him.
"Sounds like it's worth investing in?"
Another skinny old man spoke. Since the Emperor was still ambitious, they could support the Emperor and kick this damned Li Ke out of the way. But it was a pity that the gentleman smoking the cigar mocked them mercilessly.
"Yes, it's worth investing in. They will eat up most of our assets and kick us away after obtaining our technology. This is Noxus, a worthy investment. And how do you know that this isn't the Emperor's intention? Furthermore, they didn't give us a good price when we negotiated previously. Now that they are no longer a threat, what kind of price will they give us? If that's the case, why don't I just accept Li Ke's conditions? After all, I don't have any 'illegal' businesses. "
The luxuriously decorated prison cell fell into silence in an instant. But this time, it didn't last long before someone broke the silence. The new ruler of Pi City, who had confidently fought with Li Ke, concluded with a displeased expression.
"That's why we still have to try to assassinate him and that bitch beside him, right? Ha, bounty hunter. I'm afraid she's just a pirate who uses her body to seduce him and then shoots him when he's asleep and exhausted. If not, with that chest of hers, how can she shoot someone to death? Don't worry, I will send out some pretty lads. They are experts in seducing women. "
He mocked without any grace. But when he finished his words, the other gentlemen's expression changed. They glanced at the few gentlemen who were drinking and making merry. When they realized that they were frowning and were about to leave, they exchanged glances and nodded.
Thus, the new ruler of Pi City, who used to be a spy, was pounced on by a dozen other spies after downing a glass of wine. When the spies disappeared, the new ruler also disappeared along with them. Only some oil and blood were left on the sofa to prove that he had been here.
These were the people who rebelled against Li Ke.
