Chapter 118 Takeda Saito

After a long time.

Jinx's cool vest has been replaced with simple work clothes, and her flamboyant double ponytails have been carefully braided into old-fashioned thick pigtails. She then put on a cotton baseball cap commonly worn by Zaun workers, wiped a layer of dust on her pale and delicate skin, and added a little dirt between her fingernails, and a poor gutter orphan named "Jessica" was born.

After everything was ready, Hilco personally organized the team and took Jinx to the action site.

Their target was a leading investigation team operating in the Zaun Gutter area.

Hilco has been sending people to secretly monitor this team over the past two days.

The plan was for him to secretly send people to attack this team of leaders, and Jinx... no, "Jessica" would descend from the sky at the critical moment and perform a good show of helping those leaders when seeing injustice.

Before the action, Hilco also confirmed the target's status with his subordinates in charge of surveillance.

The subordinate reported: "This team consists of 10 people in total, and everyone is armed with guns and ammunition. And for some reason, they carry a large number of grenades and bombs. But these bombs are ordinary stuff, nothing special."

"The leader is a girl, not very old, her name is Lina."

"She's wearing a set of mechanical exoskeleton armor, which is obviously from Piltover. Maybe we need to pay attention to this."

"But these people really like to chat with others. They have done nothing but ."

"The people we sent over had a conversation and easily got information from the young man:"

"These leaders are actually students from Piltover University. They are here to do some kind of 'social investigation'. They are not professional fighters, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat."

"Very good." Hilco nodded with satisfaction.

They are just a bunch of pampered college students in Piltover. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with them.

"Jinx, are you ready?" He confirmed with Jinx one last time.

"No!" Jinx was still muttering in dissatisfaction.

She raised the heavy double-barreled shotgun in her hand and pouted, "This thing is so stupid! There are only two bullets in total, the distance is so close, and it shoots so slowly-"

"I think only a fool who can't aim would use such a stupid thing!"

"Silco, I want my Boom-Boom gun back!"

"..." Hilco ignored her: "It seems you are ready."

"Then... let the action begin!"

The first step is to send people to attack this leading team and create trouble for them.

But this first step encountered problems.

"Mr. Hilco, it looks like someone got ahead of us."

Just before Hilco was ready to act, another group of Zaun armed forces unexpectedly clashed with this leader team.

He immediately stood on a high place, and using the dim light in the trench area, he looked through a telescope in the direction of the Leader Squadron:

"Is that... Takeda Saito's man?"

Takeda Saito is a famous alchemy baron and chemical giant in Zaun.

His ancestors were low-level warriors who drifted from Ionia to Zaun.

But when it came to Takeda's generation, he had lost all the oriental samurai style. Instead, he mastered Zaun's unique features such as human body modification, alchemical technology, and biological weapons.

Although Hilco is the leader of Zaun, his status and power are actually similar to those of the leader of the martial arts world.

It’s just that Hilco has the greatest power and prestige, so other gangs are willing to give him face and call him “big brother”.

But Zaan is so big, and not all gangs are willing to give him this face.

This guy Takeda has always been at odds with him.

The two sides had frequent conflicts over territorial disputes and business competition, and even had a fight every now and then.

"Takeda's men actually clashed with the Leader?"

"That's interesting."

If it were normal times, Hilco would certainly be happy to see the two tigers fighting each other.

But now, he was somewhat concerned besides being surprised:

"The troops Takeda dispatched this time turned out to be his most elite cybernetic transformation troops?"

"What did these leaders do to make Takeda so serious?"

The chem-barons of Zaun each have their own unique skills.

Hilco relies on the Glimmer Warrior, and his trump card is the Turbo Alchemy Tank.

The foundation of Renata's life is the mind control potion and the thousands of warriors who are absolutely loyal to her.

Baron Takeda Saito possesses Zaun's most advanced human body modification technology and has an elite combat force of half-human, half-mechanical men who have undergone cybernetic enhancements.

What the Leader Squad is facing now is this cyborg-transformed army that even Hilco is secretly afraid of.

"Jinx."

"It looks like our action will have to be postponed."

Hilco knew that Takeda's cyborg troops were not easy to deal with.

Although he didn't know why the two sides had fought each other, but... this team of leaders he met today, these green-headed students, were probably about to disappear from this world.

And Hilco had no intention of helping.

Firstly, he was happy to see the leader and Takeda Saito become enemies;

Secondly, he came here to deal with the unknown soldiers of the Leader, and he didn't bring many elite soldiers with him. If he really wanted to help, he might not be able to defeat Takeda's cybernetic warriors.

"Jinx, let's go..."

Hilco turned around and tried to leave.

Then he turned around:

"Jinx..." Where are the people? !

"Hilco, I'm going first!" Jinx had already slipped away.

Only a back view was left, and a thick blue braid dancing lively in the air.

"You——" Hilco lost his composure in an instant: "Come back here!"

"That's Takeda Saito's cybernetic transformation team. Even if you and those leaders join forces, you may not be able to deal with them!"

Jinx paused slightly.

But she still didn't stop: "Don't worry~"

"I don't need to kill all those big asses with mechanical arms. I can just jump out and save anyone."

"As long as I have a survivor like this and let him lead the way for me, the 'lifesaver', can't I join the Leader with a legitimate reason?"

Although Jinx's actions are unconventional, his thinking logic is not chaotic at all.

Although the opponents were Takeda Saito's cybernetic warriors, the number of people dispatched this time was not large, only a dozen or so.

With Jinx's personal ability, it might be a bit difficult to fight them head-on; but if she doesn't pursue a head-on battle and just wants to save someone from these transformed warriors and escape successfully, it is not difficult at all.

"This..." Silko thought for a moment.

Although this is not a difficult task for Jinx, but we should be prepared for the worst.

This was a secret spy operation after all, and even if he and his men wanted to protect Jinx, they couldn't get too close.

In that ever-changing battle, if Jinx was in danger, he might not be able to rescue her in time even if he wanted to.

So, should we agree to let her take the risk?

After thinking for a while, Hilco realized that he was wasting his time.

because……

Jinx wouldn't wait for his orders:

"Goodbye, Hilco~"

"Wait for good news from my ace spy, Miss Jessica!"

But in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared.

"Jin..." Silko wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
