Hank had a feeling that someone was going to die today because a bunch of important figures had arrived at his doorstep early in the morning.
"Lannar, what brings you here today?"
Hank greeted a 'lady' whose body was mostly replaced by a Hex prosthesis. However, one could still see her former appearance. Hank even gave a slight morning greeting.
"Ah, about that. Although my business isn't affected too much, but … the others who came with me aren't the same. That's why I had no choice but to come."
The elegant lady whose limbs had completely turned into machines took a puff of her cigarette before she spoke leisurely. Hank had long since become familiar with Zu An's methods.
Boring changes in strength. If you didn't come, you would have been ganged up on by the others.
Typical Zu An's methods.
Hank cursed in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he directly looked at the other people with imposing auras. Among these people, there were people he was familiar with, and there were also people he wasn't familiar with. However, that didn't stop him from tactfully rejecting and warning the alchemy barons who had blocked his doorstep early in the morning.
"Horns, Spindel, and gentlemen. Why are you here so early in the morning? Although I'm willing to help you, as a lowly public tool, I can't have too much involvement with you capitalists. Otherwise, Mr. Li Ke will be furious. Besides, he's going to continue with the changes to the workers' working hours and benefits. I'm afraid that he's going to hang more people. That's why I have to hurry over and fill in the gaps for the selfless managers. "
His warning was clear. If you don't know what's good for you or threaten him to do something, he'll toss the things that might cause problems to his subordinates. Then, in a few days, that diligent gentleman will find those well-hidden fellows and hang them all to death. They will enjoy the sea breeze together with the previous ruling families of Skin City.
"Apologies for disturbing you, Mr. Hank. But we do have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty."
Spindel stood up. He didn't care about his appearance, but that was definitely related to his main occupation of murder and destruction. Although he smelled of blood and engine oil, he was much better than the child worker who cleaned the chimney that Hank hugged and kissed yesterday. Hank was surprised to find that he didn't hate the smell of this alchemy baron anymore. He could even breathe him as if he was the most ordinary air.
"What's the big deal? Sir, you have to know that His Majesty is most concerned about the people at the bottom. The lack of jobs has made him a little frustrated, so it's best that you tell him something important. "
Hank didn't want to ruin his image in front of Li Ke because of some messy things, so when he did this, he seemed to be reminding her, but also warning her repeatedly. But after hearing his words, the Baron Alchemy, who specialized in destruction and murder, chuckled. It was apparent that he was confident in what they were going to say.
"That's what I'm talking about. Jobs, sir, big orders from other places."
Spindel's smile was very bright, and it really attracted Hank's attention.
"What kind of job?"
The alchemy baron looked around and whispered into Hank's ear.
"Something big is about to happen in His Majesty's hometown."
Li Ke met with the workers who produced a certain highly dangerous alchemy compound in a tidy office building. He asked for their opinions and changed the treatment of his special workers. What he saw was a group of people dressed in luxurious clothes who faintly exuded a dangerous aura. There was something special about these people. Many key parts of their bodies had been replaced by Hex products. Unlike the fake Hex products, Li Ke could easily sense the energy of the Hex products on their bodies, as well as the stable 'magic circles'.
In other words, many of the things on these people were real Hex products, and their quality and grade were very high.
They weren't the people he wanted to meet.
"I'm supposed to meet with the plumbers and ask for their opinions on the sewers and their treatment, right, Hank?"
The plumbers in Pi City didn't just use wrenches to fix the pipes. They had all sorts of safety measures like modern society. Not only did the plumbers have to climb hundreds of meters of rusty pipes all day, their protective equipment was mostly hemp rope and some crude tools. They also had to crawl into poisonous and acidic sludge from time to time, and were attacked or robbed because they witnessed murder or robbery.
In fact, the probability of the latter was almost the same as the probability of them falling to their deaths.
Most of the pipes in Pi City were above or below the houses, and some of them were even turned into houses. Thus, the work of these people became very scary, but the city couldn't do without them. Therefore, Li Ke gave them enough time to prepare to talk to the pipeline workers that he had taken the time to pick out on the streets yesterday. But now, the plumbers didn't come. Instead, it was a group of people who didn't look like ordinary people.
"They insist that they can solve all your problems, and … Yes, they did bring a lot of orders," Hank hurriedly explained.
His face was filled with fear, but Li Ke's ears could tell that this old fox's heartbeat didn't quicken at all. Fear and whatnot were just lies.
"Let me see."
Li Ke didn't pay attention to the people sitting in front of him. Instead, he extended his hand to Hank, and Hank tactfully handed over a document so that Li Ke could read it in detail. Li Ke was also looking forward to it. After all, orders represented trade, and it was definitely beneficial for him to revitalize the two cities. However, when he saw what the order was, he couldn't help but frown.
"Alchemy poison? This is the big order you were talking about? "
His question seemed to have misjudged something. Thus, the alchemy baron called Horns, who controlled many factories in Pi City, spoke up.
"Respected Lord Li Ke, this one is called Horns. The order this time is our product. On the other hand, our alchemy poisons were very effective in Ionia. They easily broke through the Ionian defenses. Those damned magic spells of the Ionians are nothing in the face of our poison. "
Li Ke was taken aback. He didn't know if this guy was really stupid or if he had something to rely on. While he was in a daze, this guy spoke up again.
"Also, this order from your hometown, Noxus, is very sincere because of you."
He made a gesture of money to describe the profits Noxus offered.
And then.
Li Ke controlled the plants to drag him out and hung him elegantly on the street lamp.
