Chapter 141 Letter to Hilco
"Jessica, please stay," Lena advised Jinx sincerely.
"Sister..." Jinx murmured.
She almost agreed subconsciously.
But, no.
She is not only Jessica, but also Jinx.
It's true that Lina is her sister.
But Hilco is still her "father"!
How could she betray Hilco, who raised her, just for her sister?
"I'm sorry, sister." Jinx made a difficult decision in pain and entanglement.
She slowly stood up, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Where are you going? Baobao!" someone shouted anxiously.
It wasn't Lina, but Wei who had just arrived at the scene riding on Werewolf Daddy.
"Wei... humph!" Jinx was very docile in front of Lina.
But when she saw Wei, her elder sister who "abandoned her country sister to live a happy life in the city", she refused to give her a good face at all.
“Don’t go!” Wei shouted to keep Jinx, but she ignored him.
"Don't go." Lina begged softly. Jinx froze in her tracks.
Wei: “…”
What happened?
Why does Baobao listen to Lina so much?
She is obviously the older sister, isn't she?
"Sister." Jinx only spoke to Lina: "I'm sorry, I've thought it through. You are good, and the Leader is also good. But I can't betray Silko."
"He... is my 'father'."
Jinx said Hilco's name and called him father.
Finally, at this time, Vander responded.
This irrational werewolf gradually began to have a humanistic light in his eyes.
He stood there in a daze, and what came out of his mouth was no longer the vague wolf howl, but the mumbling of human words: "Hilco... Wei... Baobao..."
The werewolf suddenly moved.
He flashed and rushed towards Jinx excitedly.
"What?" Jinx was shocked.
She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the alchemical wolf was as fast as a gust of wind, incredibly fast.
But in an instant, the ferocious and hideous wolf head appeared before her eyes.
The werewolf stretched out his strong arms.
Jinx instinctively closed her eyes.
Then……
The imagined wolf claws did not fall.
The ferocious-looking werewolf actually tried hard to hide his sharp claws, carefully opened his arms, and hugged her gently.
"Huh?" Jinx opened his eyes in confusion.
She saw that the wolf... was crying?
Do wolves cry?
"Baobao." The werewolf spoke , and his tone was more sober than ever before: "I'm sorry, I'm back late."
"You... who are you?!" Jinx's eyes suddenly widened.
The werewolf said with tears in his eyes: "I am your father, Baobao."
…
Another week passed, Zaun, Black Alley.
At this time, a full half month had passed since Ace Agent Jinx infiltrated the Leader Association.
"Hilco, there's more news coming from the Leader."
With the news that her spy from Piltover helped to convey, Sevika walked into Hilko's office.
"Oh? News about the Leader?"
Hilco immediately put down the work at hand.
Because he knew that the only subordinate who had successfully infiltrated the Leader and had not yet betrayed him was Jinx.
This is not just information sent back by spies.
It was a "home letter" sent back by my daughter.
So Hilco is serious.
"I'm afraid it's not good news." The information was sealed. Sevika did not open it and did not know what it said.
But she still worried:
"Based on experience, no matter if it's our spies or the spies of other Alchemy Barons, those who have been lurking in the Wind Leader Association for more than half a month...will inevitably defect."
Those with low ideological awareness can be developed into active members of the union within half a month.
Those who have a high level of ideological awareness have already paid this month's membership dues.
And Jinx has been gone for half a month.
"I believe her." Hilco looked calm.
No one in this world can be trusted.
But Jinx is an exception.
Jinx is Silko's Jinx, and Jinx will never betray Silko.
"And you underestimate her too much, Sevika." Hilco said with a little displeasure: "You all said Jinx was a lunatic, saying that she would only make things worse and definitely could not be a spy."
"But Jinx has proved with her actions that you are wrong."
Among the spies sent by Silko to the Leader, Jinx was undoubtedly the most active and had the most fruitful results.
As soon as she infiltrated the Leader Association, she successfully lurked next to Levi's sister.
In just the past two weeks, Jinx has sent back some very valuable information several times.
For example, she discovered that the Leader Association was actually cooperating with Golask Industries.
For example, she discovered that the Leader Association actually cooperated with the Philos family.
…
"I sent Jinx over there to be the party."
Hilco was very pleased and praised his daughter in front of his subordinates:
"The information she sent back is too crucial."
Hilco sent people to find out the truth about the Wind Leader, just to find out what the relationship is between the Wind Leader Association and the Piltover Cartel.
He wanted to find out whether Windleader really wanted to practice Jannaism, or was just using this high-sounding name to help the Piltover cartel split Zaun from within and suppress the independent resistance forces in Zaun.
Now it seems...
"Midalda, Giraman, Firoz, Gorask..."
It turns out that several of the most powerful companies in Piltover all have investment cooperation with the Leaders Association to varying degrees.
If we only look at the source of the initial capital, this so-called Leaders Association seems to have been established by the Piltover Seed Benz family in the beginning.
Judging from the current behavior of the leaders, they are only against "ancestral capital" and not "skin capital".
In Piltover, he shouted to everyone to be careful and patient, and to negotiate peacefully with the Ziben family; when he arrived in Zaun, he changed his face, rushed to the front and called on everyone to defeat the Alchemist Baron.
"We have to be vigilant." The more Hilco looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He couldn't help but suspect that this was a new trick the Piltover people came up with to divide Zaun's power.
Hilco had been preparing for Zaun's armed independence for a full decade.
"Don't wait until we are ready to settle accounts with the Piltover guys before these Wind Leaders suddenly jump out and call on the Zaun people to defeat me, the Alchemist Baron."
Just thinking about this scene, Hilco couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Because he found that there was no solution to this trick.
The Leader's thoughts and theories are so contagious that many people in Zaun believe in them.
And he is indeed an alchemy baron who exploits the people of Zaun. In theory, it is only natural for the people of Zaun to hang him on the street lamp.
But what happens after he dies?
Will killing his leader expose his true identity as a lackey of Piltover, or will he take over the banner from him and lead the people of Zaun towards armed independence?
Silko, who had read the book "A Brief Account of Janna's Thoughts", originally believed in the latter.
But as more and more intelligence came in these days, the situation gradually showed that the truth was most likely the former.
"The connection between this Guild of Leaders and the Piltover Cartel is too close."
Hilco sighed softly, then with a serious expression he opened the information that Jinx had passed on.
He really wanted to know whether his daughter had made any important discoveries from the leader.
Finally, the envelope was opened.
Hilco did not avoid Sevika.
Then they both saw that the letter read:
"Hello, Hilco! I haven't sent you any messages in a few days. Do you miss me ?"
"Don't be impatient, let's talk business first. This time I have to tell you a very important news. You will definitely be very happy to hear it."
Typical Jinx tone.
Hilco smiled restrainedly and continued browsing:
"The great thing is——"
"I have gloriously joined the Wind Leader Association and become a ."
Hilco, Sevika: "..."
"Don't worry... I know you'll be worried when you read this."
"But President Levi has discussed this with me . Now the Wind Leader Association is preparing to gradually launch an armed struggle against the Chem-Baron in Zaun and realize the strategic transfer of the base from Piltover to Zaun."
"The president said that those who follow the trend of history will prosper, and those who stand against the people will perish."
"If you lay down your weapons and cooperate with the transformation, and lead everyone to abandon darkness and join the light in following their faith, you can still get a seat at the future Zaun Residents' Consultation Meeting."
"Isn't it a wonderful thing that the city-state is stable and the people are happy?"
“…”
"Anyway, President Levi wants to invite you to visit our Leader's territory in Piltover so that we can have a good chat face to face."
"Silco, I guarantee with my fish bones and my boom gun that you will be safe on this trip."
"I won't go back to Zaun for now. If you miss me, come find me in Piltover."
"——Jinx, a member of the Wind Leader Association."
