Chapter 134 Personalized Life Insurance
[Steel Shadow Camille] has undergone a high level of human body modification and possesses an artificial hextech heart made of precious native hextech crystal.
This Hextech heart not only gave her extraordinary powers, but also allowed her to gain "immortality" in a sense as a half-human, half-machine cyborg.
And Stevan is a stark contrast to his powerful and elegant sister.
He had been frail and sickly since childhood, and when he grew old his legs became paralyzed, making him a useless person.
So he envied, no, was jealous of his sister.
Unfortunately, the genius technician who invented the Hextech heart modification has died, and the technology of the Hextech heart has been lost.
The Hextech heart in Camille's body is the last Hextech heart in the world and the only hope for Stevan to continue his fragile life.
"So you want to kill Camille and take her Hextech Heart."
Levi learned from Kaya that Stevan had been given a death sentence by the doctor and had less than two months left to live.
He didn't have time to wait any longer.
He must have had this plan by now.
really……
Stevan's first reaction after hearing this was not anger or denial, but he raised his eyes with his hair standing on end and instinctively looked towards the window and the door.
"Don't worry." Levi smiled: "I have already used magic to create an invisible vacuum soundproof air cover. No one can hear our conversation."
Stevan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Because his instinctive reaction just now has exposed his dirty and ugly true thoughts.
"It seems that you are not only jealous of your sister, but you are also afraid of her."
Levi said rudely.
However, he could understand Stevan's timidity.
Because the power structure of the Philos family, in Levi's opinion, is inherently full of hidden dangers.
In every generation, Philos would select one of his direct descendants to be the head of the family and one to be the chief spy in charge of the family's intelligence and armed forces.
So if we compare Stevan, the head of the family, to the emperor of the Philos family.
Camille is the commander-in-chief of all military forces at home and abroad, the head of the imperial guards and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the general of Tiance and the prince of the same rank.
This "General Tian Ce" who is in charge of all the armed forces of the family is not only a direct descendant of the clan with legal inheritance rights, but also has unparalleled combat power and is a good fighter.
In this situation, it would be fine if the head of the family and the chief spy were kind to each other, filial to their sons, and friendly to each other.
If the head of the family and the chief spy are secretly at odds, can the head of the family still sleep well at night?
Of course I couldn’t sleep well.
Because even the intelligence force is completely controlled by Camille, he is so timid and cautious even when speaking in his own home.
"You..." Stevan's expression was complicated, with both anger and fear.
There seemed no point in denying it.
He felt that Levi had seen through him completely.
"How do you know all these things?" Stevan's face was gloomy.
"The goddess knows everything." The bluebird cried a few times in dissatisfaction, but Levi still naturally put the blame on her.
"So what do you want to do?" Stevan asked, gathering his strength. "Are you going to threaten me with this?"
"Give up! Even if you want to reveal my plan to Camille, I will never compromise with you."
"Artificial Hex Gem Synthesis Technology is the most precious treasure of the Philos family. If I sell it to you, I will be a sinner of the Philos family!"
He said this with great righteousness.
As soon as Levi heard it, he knew that Stevan was urging him to make a quote.
The threat of reporting and the mere benefit of two years of life span were obviously not enough to make Stevan make up his mind to give up this piece of fat meat and become a traitor to his people.
You have to pay extra.
But Levi didn't intend to raise the price.
He knew that the so-called head of the Philos family in front of him was nothing but a paper tiger.
"Mr. Stevan, I advise you to sober up and speak to our leader from a position of strength."
"Think about it yourself. Given your current situation, are you still qualified to negotiate with us?"
Levi choked Stevan hard.
He asked angrily, "President Levi, are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm not threatening you."
"I can assure you here that I will never tell spies on you to Madam Camille. She is not someone who would betray her family, and there is no possibility of her cooperating with the Leader."
"It would be of no benefit to either you or me to let her know about this."
Stevan: “…”
Camille isn't the kind of person who would betray her family, so that means he is the one?
asshole……
"Don't be so quick to curse." Levi said, "Mr. Stevan, you need to think carefully first. Can your stupid plan of killing your sister and taking her heart really succeed?"
"She is the Steel Shadow, the Grey Lady of Piltover."
"What will happen if the minions you recruit can't kill her?"
Stevan was silent for a while.
Then he asked: "President Levi, do you think that I am doomed to die?"
"Yes." Li Wei looked at him the same way he looked at Yuan Shu: "Without us, you would be dead."
Stevan's breathing gradually became heavier.
In fact, he felt uneasy about the plan to kill his sister and take her heart.
Camille is so strong. If we don’t count the legendary goddess Janna, she is almost the most powerful fighter in the Twin Cities.
If Stevan had not been very old and dying, he would never have dared to take the risk of planning this.
"President Levi." After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I agree to cooperate with you."
"But there is one condition - you have to help me complete the plan and make sure I get my sister's Hex Heart."
"After I get the Hextech Heart, I will naturally give you the technical information of the Hextech Gem."
"Haha." Levi just smiled coldly.
Deliver the goods first and pay later, isn't that treating him like a fool?
Levi knew very well what kind of person Stevan was.
If I really help him kill Camille and hand the Hextech Heart to him, this bastard will definitely turn against me.
And Levi didn't want Camille to die so soon.
Because in fact, the existence of Camille, a common enemy, is the basis for Stevan and the Leader to cooperate.
Once she died and Stevan got the heart as he wished, there would be no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the Philos family and the Leader Association.
Don't say Stevan won't pay the bill honestly.
Even if he really handed over the technical information, he would definitely stab the leader in the back after the transaction and try to take the information back.
By then, a war is bound to break out.
"Mr. Stevan, we, the Leaders, are not an assassin's guild. We will not help you kill people."
"But I can sell you something else - insurance."
"Insurance?" Stevan thought.
"Yes, 'life insurance'." Levi explained with a smile: "If your plan fails, Lady Camille is not dead, and comes back to seek revenge on you--"
"Then we can come forward and guarantee your personal safety."
"Not only can we protect your safety, but we can also extend your life for two years as agreed before."
"When the time comes, you only need to give us back the technical data of the artificial gemstone. When the time is right in the future, we can also get the Hex Heart for you."
Stevan is just selfish, but not stupid.
Levi didn't help him kill Camille, but promised to save his life. He said he could kill his sister and take her heart for him, but then he said he had to wait until the right time - isn't this just empty talk?
Keeping both sides, what do you want to do?
"You want to control me?!" Stevan's face looked extremely ugly.
Of course he could see that if his plan failed, Camille would completely break off with him and become his mortal enemy.
If he still wants to survive at that time, he can only seek the protection of the leader.
And if even his life and property depend on other people's hands , then wouldn't he and the Philos family he controls become puppets that can be easily controlled by Levi?
"I didn't force you." Levi spread his hands: "You have a choice."
As long as Stevan's plan to kill his sister and take her heart succeeds, he won't need to buy the Wind Leader's insurance, nor will he need Janna to extend his life.
In other words, after the plan failed, if he could face death calmly in order to protect the interests of his family, Levi would not be able to kill him.
But the problem is...
"Mr. Stevan." Levi smiled: "Do you have the ability and determination?"
…
After a long time, the door of the reception room opened.
Levi left in a graceful manner with the farewell of the owner Stevan.
Before parting, the two sides shook hands in a friendly manner, creating a harmonious atmosphere with both guests and hosts having a great time .
It is hard to imagine that this is the scene of the meeting between the Leader President and the Da Zi Ben family.
"Grandpa~" Kaya came closer with great concern and held Stevan's wheelchair. "What did that bad guy talk to you about? He didn't ask for an exorbitant price from you, did he?"
"Haha." Stevan smiled kindly. "Don't worry about grandpa's business . Grandpa won't suffer any loss in arm wrestling with such a young man."
"We have already agreed to use Levi's healing spells in exchange for a batch of artificial Hextech gems."
This was indeed the business deal that Levi had agreed with him this time - on the surface.
Stevan did pay a large amount of artificial hexstones as a deposit.
But Levi hadn't given him any treatment yet.
Levi just sold him a "life insurance policy".
Of course, Stevan would not tell his granddaughter these details:
"I'm sorry, Kaya."
"Grandpa can't stand up for you this time."
"It's okay." Kaya nodded sensibly.
When she learned that Levi's magic could help her grandfather prolong his life, she no longer cared about being kidnapped.
No matter how bad the leader is, for the sake of her grandfather's health, she must put aside her hatred and cooperate with Levi.
"As long as your illness can be cured, that's all."
"Kaya..." Stevan's eyes were a little complicated.
He gently stroked his granddaughter's hair and asked, "Do you want Grandpa to live?"
"Of course!" Kaya nodded seriously.
"But what if the medicine for Grandpa's treatment costs the family a lot of money?"
"I have to give you any amount of money!" Kaya said without hesitation, "As long as Grandpa can survive, any price is worth it!"
"Well..." Stevan's eyes gradually became firm.
He touched his granddaughter's head again and said with a smile, "Child, I will survive."
