Chapter 150 The Stubborn Leader
"The Leader..." Sarah murmured the name that shocked her time and time again.
What kind of magic power does the leader have that can allow a group of ordinary prostitutes to gain extraordinary powers?
Could it be that...
Sarah couldn't help but think of the "Janna above" mentioned by the female workers and the blue bird emblem of the Leader.
She had been sailing on the sea for many years and often visited Piltover and Zaun for supplies. Of course, she knew that Janna was the goddess of storms that had been passed down by word of mouth among sailors and even more so in the Twin Cities.
She thought again of the natives of the Serpentine Islands where Bilgewater is located, the Baru people who believe in Nagakabouros. According to legend, these devout believers among the Baru people can temporarily summon the tentacle clone of the goddess Nagakabouros through the method of "shaman dance".
Yes, only gods can be so generous in bestowing power on mortals.
In other words…
"Janna is real."
"Are these leaders believers of the true god Janna?!"
Sarah came to this conclusion in disbelief.
The people of Bilgewater know all too well how terrifying a true god can be.
Legend has it that just one of Nagakabouros's tentacles could easily crush the world's largest dreadnought.
If Janna really exists and is a true god at the same level as Goddess Na... then the backing of these leaders must be extremely strong!
Sarah looked a little solemn.
However, her reckless subordinates have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
Before they recovered from the shock of their companion being knocked away by Kolya's punch, they heard Lina say in a serious tone: "Apologize."
"You just said it yourself - if Ke Liya can hurt him, you have to kneel down and apologize."
"I don't need you to kneel down . I just need you to sincerely apologize to Ke Liya and the others."
"This..." The pirates' faces turned red with frustration.
Ask them to apologize? Impossible!
Although the magic of Kolia and others is indeed shocking, when pirates come out to fight, all they care about is their reputation.
If they really apologized to a group of prostitutes on the street, and the news got back to Bilgewater, wouldn't their fellow gang members laugh at them for the rest of their lives?
"Stop joking... bastard!" The pirates were unwilling to apologize, but they did not dare to provoke Lina and others who knew magic.
They raised their guns in a threatening manner and retreated silently.
"Idiot!" Sarah yelled angrily, "Put down your guns!"
But it seems a little late.
It’s not that Lina, Kolya and others took action again.
Instead, there was a team of city patrols wearing uniforms and fully armed, who looked like Piltover law enforcement officers, and they had been attracted here by the riots.
"But why did the Piltover Enforcers change their uniforms?" Sarah felt something was wrong.
She remembered that Piltover law enforcement officers wore dark blue uniforms, but these patrol guards wore light blue uniforms.
And if you look closely, it seems that the blue bird emblem of the leader is printed on the chest of the uniforms of these guards.
Sure enough, the next second...
Two girls who looked like leading officers, one wearing a huge Hex boxing glove and the other holding a Hex precision rifle, surrounded Sarah and her men who were holding guns and showing off their power.
"Lina, what happened here?" As soon as they arrived, they asked Lina about the situation.
"Wei, Caitlyn, it's like this..." Lina also explained briefly.
"It's troublesome!" Sarah held her forehead helplessly.
This team of soldiers who looked like Piltover law enforcers were obviously the private armed forces of the Wind Leader Association.
She was clearly invited to do business with the Leader, but she had a conflict with a few prostitutes and was surrounded by the Leader's men on the street.
"Captain, what should we do?" The pirates could see that the patrol members of the Leader were well-disciplined and well-trained. Just looking at the formations and formations they displayed when they came, they seemed to be no worse than the elite troops of Noxus.
The two girls called "Vi" and "Catlyn", holding Hextech equipment in their hands, are even more difficult to deal with at first glance.
"Shall we break out?" The pirates clenched their guns nervously.
"Kill the hell !" Sarah didn't want to fight with the leader for no reason.
Even a powerful dragon would not defeat a local snake, not to mention that the leader is likely to be blessed by the true god Gana.
"Put your guns down and behave yourself!"
Sarah frowned and restrained her subordinates, then looked at Wei and Caitlin over there with concern.
After they had learned about the situation from Lina and the others, they asked some questions to the onlookers, and then came over with a serious look:
"Hello - According to reports from the parties involved and the public, you are accused of harassing a cleaning lady on the street and verbally humiliating her in public."
"Excuse me, is this true?"
Sarah raised her eyebrows when she heard this:
They accused me of "harassment" and "verbal humiliation" and said all kinds of things.
Do these leaders really think of themselves as the law enforcers of Piltover?
Well... Sarah is very familiar with how to deal with Piltover law enforcement officers.
So when she heard Vi and Caitlyn "speaking in an official tone" and "making a high-profile statement" here, she immediately knew what to do.
"We were indeed wrong this time."
Sarah first stood in front on behalf of her subordinates and gave an embarrassed smile.
Most male law enforcement officers would be so mesmerized by her charming smile that they would forget who they are.
Unfortunately, there are two women in front of me, so this trick may not work.
Still gotta get the hard stuff.
So Sarah apologized with a smile, pretended to admit her mistake sincerely, and shook Caitlin's hand enthusiastically.
In the brief moment of the handshake, a small bag of gold Hextech coins that she had prepared to deal with the officials was calmly stuffed into Caitlin's pocket.
Her movements were very covert, so no one could see them and she would not embarrass the other person in public.
As long as the other party senses the extra weight in his pocket, he will naturally realize how sincere she is.
Sarah had already mastered this move.
Whether it's dealing with the police from Piltover or the officers from Noxus, this trick has always been effective and has never failed.
As long as the money is in the other party's pocket, big things can be turned into small things, and small things can be turned into nothing.
This is a rule that applies throughout Runeterra.
"You see, it's just a little misunderstanding."
"There's no need to pursue this, right?"
Sarah smiled an "I know what I know" smile and waited for Caitlin and Wei to help her resolve the problem.
But... "Ahem!"
"Stop smiling like that and let go of my hand!" Sarah was glared at unhappily by Wei, who signaled her to let go of Caitlin's hand.
And Caitlin frowned and said to her: "Miss, you are insulting me!"
"Huh?" Sarah was slightly stunned:
Asshole! I have to pay more, right?
It's just a small matter, and you think a bag of gold coins is not enough?
Bah! How come the guards of the Wind Leader Association are more greedy than the Piltover law enforcers?
Sarah was cursing in her heart, but what she didn't expect was...
Caitlin actually took out the purse that she had secretly put into her pocket and showed it to all the onlookers.
Then, she threw the purse back into Sarah's hand unhappily: "Please don't do this again, miss."
"We are the Wind Leader's team, not the Piltover Enforcers!"
Sarah: “…”
Really? You really don't want to accept it?
That would be even more troublesome...
Her years of experience as a traitor taught her that when the cops couldn't even get rid of them with money, it often meant that they needed something more valuable to satisfy their appetite.
"Everyone, please stop now." Sarah frowned and showed her trump card: "I am a guest invited by your President Levi. There is no need to embarrass me because of such a trivial matter, right?"
"No matter who you are," Caitlin said in a businesslike manner, "when you come to the Zaun community, you must abide by the rules of our community."
Sarah choked violently.
She didn't expect that Levi's reputation would not work. The other party didn't even ask what the relationship between Levi and her was, and insisted on causing trouble for her.
These guards from the Leaders Association are so greedy and lawless.
"Rules? Ha!" She simply retorted angrily: "If I remember correctly, this is still Piltover, right? The Piltover law enforcers didn't come to meddle in my business, so why should I abide by the rules of your Wind Leader Association?"
Sarah's sarcasm was correct. The Leaders Association is just a non-governmental organization and does not have the power to enforce the law.
But when it comes to the laws of Piltover, Caitlyn is all too familiar with them.
She answered seriously, "We in Piltover value community autonomy. The community council can formulate reasonable local regulations based on the situation of each district."
"And the community council of the Zaun community is now under the control of our Leaders Association."
"So the rules of our Leaders Association are the rules of the Zaun community."
In the past, the Zaun community was ruled by the Iron Fist Gang, and the community council was in name only.
Later, Levi also learned the Iron Fist Gang's operations and used the old routine of local tyrants and local elites to undermine the local government and control the grassroots democracy, and firmly controlled the community council here.
The so-called community council is actually a rebranded Leaders Association, the Zaun community branch.
So even from a legal perspective, the existence of the "community patrol team" that Caitlyn and Vi belong to is in compliance with Piltover law.
"Okay..." Sarah was overwhelmed.
"Name your price!" She got straight to the point and said, "What do you want by pestering me like this?"
Wei and Caitlin looked at each other and said, "We need you and your men to make a formal apology to Kolya and the others."
Sarah: “…”
"That's it?" She couldn't believe it.
"That's it." Caitlin nodded. "Your insults are only verbal, so a formal apology in public will suffice."
"No..." Sarah didn't want to hear any explanation of the regulations.
She was shocked: "You went to such great lengths to fight me, just to help these prostitutes, and you want an apology in return?"
"Watch your words! They are no longer prostitutes - they are our comrades!"
Sarah: “…”
Like Lina, Wei and Caitlin made Sarah feel unusually...clean.
Yes, clean. They are so clean that they seem out of place in this dirty world.
Sarah was also very uncomfortable.
"Please apologize." Wei and Caitlyn still insisted.
Sarah was stunned for a moment.
Thinking about what she had seen and heard along the way, she couldn't help but ask, "Are all you leaders so stubborn?"
"If by stubborn you mean doing the right thing... then, yes."
Sarah was silent for another moment.
Then she sighed in satisfaction and took the lead in bowing and apologizing to Ke Liya and the others: "Everyone, I'm sorry !"
