Chapter 579 Returning to the Twin Cities, Hilco and Jace

"What trouble?"

Peter turned around and saw Bomb standing in front of him with a sad face.

Next to him was Little Cake, who also had a sad face - Catherine.

"I haven't been home for several days, Mr. Padrick."

Catherine raised her head, a little confused about what to do, "Dad and Mom will probably be looking for me like crazy these days. If I go back directly, they will be very angry when they see me."

Catherine expressed her worries.

Peter looked at Little Cake's worried expression, walked over and touched her hair, "Don't worry, I'll take you back. If your parents have any complaints or reproaches, let me explain to them."

He was busy with Gotham's affairs during this period, and forgot about Catherine's return home.

But this little girl is really strong, and she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

If the other party said a few words, he would send Catherine away directly.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Padrick."

Catherine took a deep breath and thanked Peter.

Since Mr. Peter said so, she had nothing to worry about.

"Actually."

Catherine organized her words, glanced at Bomb and Wei standing next to her, and whispered: "The experience in Gotham during this period is a life I have never experienced before. It made me understand many things."

Catherine said her true thoughts, "Gotham in chaos is sometimes like Zaun. People living in it are surrounded by chaos and disorder. I saw the faces of Gotham people and thought of those in Zaun."

"They are all in an irresistible and dire environment for various reasons. Ordinary people have been oppressed and mentally devastated in this environment for a long time. They are eager to change and eager to change this uninhabitable environment."

Catherine said to Peter with a confused look: "Everyone in Piltover is equal, noble, and bright. They have no worries about food, clothing, and survival, but they never care about the lives of Zaun people. I... Even if I am from Piltover, I think we are all wrong."

Peter listened to Catherine's words, stroked her hair, and cast his eyes on the rising sun outside.

"So, Catherine, the Twin Cities will need you to change in the future."

Peter's voice was solemn, "Under the Twin Cities, change is inevitable. As long as there is inequality, there must be bloodshed and sacrifice.

Under the Twin Cities, no one is a survivor. Everyone protects themselves and everyone is in danger. Because of imperfection, this cruel world is formed."

After a moment of silence, Peter turned his eyes to Raven, Bomb and Wei, and said to the three of them: "You three come with me to Piltover and send Catherine back."

"Dad, I will go with you too."

Tom came down from upstairs and said to Peter.

Peter looked at Tom, "Raven said she wanted to heal, so she won't go to Hogwarts for the time being. Do you have any reason not to go to school, Tom?"

Faced with Peter's question, Tom was slightly stunned, and then he found a suitable reason for himself.

"I have completed all the magic courses in the first grade, Dad, and I also got the best score in Ravenclaw in the previous assessment."

Looking at Tom, who held his chest high and showed a reserved and slightly complacent expression.

Peter was a little speechless.

He had forgotten that Tom was a top student. In the original world, Tom was the student council president.

"Well done, Tom. Your top student level is almost catching up with your father's level."

Peter praised him.

Since this naughty kid had enough excuses, he could only take him to Piltover.

At the same time.

Zaun, a secret underground laboratory.

Hilco walked to the glass curtain wall and looked outside.

Outside the glass curtain wall was the seabed.

The turbid sea water appeared in front of him.

A strange fish with a fluorescent head swam past him.

The monsters born in the sea water polluted by industrial sewage and toxic gas are this kind of fish that can still survive.

Hilco is tall and thin, with a weird yellow right eye.

The weird right eye presents a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere, which makes him particularly unique and eye-catching.

In his early years, Hilco was a close friend of Vandel and others. They ate the same bowl of leftovers, liberated the humble people, and built their own home, Zaun.

That joyful time lasted for a long time, but during a riot, the people of the Black Alley rushed across the bridge between the upper and lower cities, intending to resist, but were severely punished and brutally suppressed by the law enforcement officers, and both sides suffered huge casualties.

Afterwards, Vandel and Silko had a disagreement. Vandel tried to seek peace, even at a high price and as humble as mud and grass; Silko did not give up and ran around.

Later, in the riverbed and bubbles, Silko, who parted ways, was beaten into the polluted water by Vandel.

Fortunately, an alchemist who was exiled from the upper city saved him.

Although he lost an eye, it was here that Silko learned how to make "Glimmer".

The so-called Glimmer is a potion that makes people violent, but its side effects are also very obvious.

Small doses can strengthen the body and heal wounds, but large doses can cause mental loss or even mutation.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Hilco looked at the strange fish emitting glimmer, and said to the yellow-haired subordinate next to him: "But above, from the water, no one knows they exist."

The yellow-haired subordinate looked at the strange fish outside and swallowed his saliva, "But they are monsters."

Hilco, with his hands behind his back, cast his eyes on the other party and shook his head, "There is a monster living in each of us."

As he spoke, he took out the glimmer reagent with a purple glow in his hand.

Seeing his boss take out the glimmer, "Yelco" was immediately shocked and took a step back.

"No, no, I will die!"

He knew that the boss wanted to take the glimmer himself.

Once anyone takes this potion, although they will violently gain power, they will eventually become a ghost.

He had seen with his own eyes the miserable appearance of other subordinates of Hilco who took the glimmer.

Hilco saw the other party take a step back, and his right hand took out a sharp dagger from somewhere.

This book has been recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

He spun the dagger in the air, staring at the blade with sharp eyes.

"I'll teach you a very important life principle, kid. When I realized it, I was also your age."

Putting the dagger down, Hilco turned around and faced "Yellow Hair" with an extremely oppressive momentum.

"That is power. Real power will never be born to the strongest, smartest, and most agile people, never."

As he said this, he walked behind "Yellow Hair" and took up the glimmer reagent in his hand to examine it.

". It will only belong to those who are willing to achieve their goals at all costs. Now, let the monster in your heart crawl out."

He handed the glimmer reagent to "Yellow Hair", and the strange right eye exuded a creepy breath that made Yellow Hair feel creepy.

He nervously looked at the middle-aged man who sat behind the laboratory table and had been silent all the time, with most of his hair bald.

That was the alchemist who studied and improved the glimmer.

The alchemist nodded slightly to "Yellow Hair".

Although he was very reluctant, he still took the glimmer tremblingly.

Under the expressionless gaze of Hilco, "Yellow Hair" gritted his teeth and drank the "glimmer" in one breath.

"Crack!"

The reagent bottle containing the glimmer fell to the ground and broke, and "Yellow Hair" knelt down and covered his throat and coughed dryly.

A pain that penetrated deep into his bones surrounded him, making him feel difficult to breathe.

But a corresponding violent force filled his whole body, and the desire for destruction and killing gradually rose in his heart.

His eyes were instantly surrounded by the purple erosion of the glimmer, and he covered his throat and roared like a beast.

Looking down at the mutated "Yellow Hair", Hilco's eyes showed a satisfied look.

"Very good, we are on the right track."

After leaving the underground laboratory, the alchemist followed him and said to him: "The experiment on the glimmer is not stable, I need further experiments."

"That's enough, Dr. Vic."

Hilco listened to the roar of "Yellow Hair" and said to him: "We have waited long enough."

He did not continue to talk about this topic, but asked the alchemist: "I heard that there is some chaos in the upper city recently?"

"Yes."

The alchemist replied to him: "I heard that the daughter of Jilaman's family is missing. Someone has seen her in Zaun. This is why there are suddenly more law enforcement officers here."

"The daughter of Jilaman's family is missing. It's really interesting."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes outside.

It began to rain in Zaun.

Once it starts to rain, the polluted water in Piltover will flow into Zaun.

Looking up and seeing the rainy weather and smelling the faint pungent smell coming from the street, Hilco frowned.

Piltover.

Outside a mansion, Jayce stood outside the iron gate with an umbrella.

He wanted to go in, but because of his insufficient status, he could only attract the other party's attention by shouting outside.

"Squeak!"

The door of the hall was opened, and a graceful woman, wearing the common clothes of the upper class, walked out slowly.

"Madam, is there any news about Catherine?"

Jayce grabbed the iron fence and asked the lady.

"This is not what you should care about. All you can do is leave here."

The lady was Catherine's mother, Cassandra Gillamann, who said to Jayce in a bad tone: "Catherine's affairs have nothing to do with you. You should continue your research. Don't forget that our family supports your research."
