Chapter 121 Poaching

Fandel always managed to break the heaviness in the parliament.

And everyone prefers this, because it will make the Twin Cities Council more humane, unlike the Pilvoorth Council, which is full of intrigues between interests.

That's it for now.

After the chaos that happened in the afternoon, everyone should have been discussing countermeasures in a solemn atmosphere, but after Fandel's joke, everyone's mentality became relaxed unconsciously.

Next, the topic continued, and everyone continued to express their opinions on the issue of 'preventing Noxian spy infiltration'.

In the auditorium, Ke Wen expressed concern to Camille.

He asked softly: "How are your Philos family?"

"no problem."

Camille also responded in a low voice: "The spies of Noxus are indeed very strong. In comparison, the spies of our family are too weak."

"There was nothing we could do against those spies before, but after getting the supply of two shimmering potions, the situation now has become that the spies have the upper hand."

Camille smiled indifferently, and her tone was full of confidence: "Otherwise, the spies of Noxus would not have been forced to reveal their faces today."

Ke Wen nodded slightly when he heard this and said politely: "Thank you for your hard work."

Camille was too lazy to respond to such meaningless words. She crossed her legs and continued to listen to the discussion of the MPs.

…

The next morning, after seeing off Jinx who stayed in bed until around nine o'clock, Coven teleported back to the repair shop to open for business.

There were relatively few customers today, with less than ten people waiting outside the door.

Customers entered the repair shop one by one and left happily after a short time.

People are very satisfied with Kewen's technology, the repair speed is fast, and it is not prone to repeated failures.

All the prosthetic limbs that have been repaired by Kewen are simply more durable than new ones.

After all, after Kewen's technical reputation was widely spread, his repair shop's business became almost a monopoly.

So she didn't do what other repair shops did, or leave any hidden dangers in customers' items.

Or deliberately loosened a few screws or something.

Koven doesn't need to rely on those tactics to attract repeat customers.

His approach resulted in fewer and fewer problems with the prosthetic limbs of the Zaans.

Correspondingly, the work he can receive every day is becoming less and less.

Ke Wen was happy like this. It would be great if he didn't have to work all day long. He could just live a leisurely life.

An hour later, Ke Wen sent away the last customer.

He glanced outside the store and found that there was no one waiting, and walked out from the counter.

After going to the kitchen to wash away the oil stains and alchemical solution on his hands, Kewen picked up the shopping basket at home and prepared to buy some fresh ingredients.

However, as soon as he opened the door to go out, he was blocked by a customer at the door.

The customer's figure was slightly petite, and his head was lowered under the hood, making it difficult to see the other person's face.

Ke Wen glanced at the asymmetrical prosthetic leg on the other person's right arm, and then asked: "Madam, is there something wrong with the prosthetic leg?"

"Yes." The woman did not raise her head. She said in a slightly lower voice: "Boss, are you going out? Can you help me repair my prosthetic limb first? I still have work to do."

"sure."

Coven turned around and re-entered the house, and said, "Please come in."

The woman thanked her and walked into the door.

However, when closing the door, the woman quickly turned over the business sign outside the door.

The door made a soft closing sound, and the out-of-business sign dangled on the door.

Coven didn't notice the woman's little movements.

He walked into the counter, greeted the other person to sit down on the high chair, and unfolded the tool cloth bag.

"Please put the prosthesis on the table."

Kewen said something and then asked: "How did the prosthetic limb break?"

"have no idea."

The woman put the prosthetic limb in front of Ke Wen with a "Peng" sound, and suddenly changed the topic.

As if chatting, the woman asked Kewen: "They say you are the best in technology, doesn't the boss want to develop elsewhere? Although the changes here in Zaun are great, are they still very backward overall? Why not go somewhere else and make more money?"

Ke Wen was silent for a moment.

He looked at the woman's prosthetic leg on the table, and then looked up at the woman's mouth and nose exposed from under the hood.

His eyes finally fell on the other person's full red lips painted with dark red lipstick.

Corwin smiled.

He moved his hand across the counter and rerolled the unfolded tool bag.

Then he chuckled and said: "Madam, please explain your purpose of coming, and..."

Pointing at the opponent's mechanical prosthetic arm: "Take this thing off, can you tell me? Which unlucky guy did you take off his arm?"

The corners of the woman's mouth turned up slightly.

She raised her left hand and grabbed the prosthetic leg of her right arm, then pulled it down and pulled the prosthetic leg directly off.

Her intact right arm was gradually exposed, revealing her delicate bronze skin.

Bang!

The hollow prosthetic leg was thrown on the counter, and then the woman raised her hand and lifted the hood.

It was a beautiful face. Although there was a vertical scar above and below the left eye, it did not affect the other person's appearance at all.

Her long red hair was hanging down.

The woman flipped her hair coquettishly, then leaned forward, resting her right elbow on the table and resting her chin on her palm.

She tilted her head and looked at Ke Wen, and said with a charming smile: "I'm sorry, I just want to have a good talk with you. Will you forgive me? I heard that beautiful women have some privileges of being forgiven. I He looks pretty good."

"The guests are indeed pretty."

Ke Wen had recognized the other party and asked with a smile: "So what does the guest want to talk about?"

"It's the same question as before."

The woman said in a seductive voice: "The boss has such ability, doesn't he want to go further? I can promise to make you more money, and I can also promise to give you a high status."

"besides……"

The woman gently raised her slender hand and ran her fingers from the corner of her lips all the way down.

The fingertips swept across the thin neck with tight skin, followed by a swallowing movement, and then the fingers continued downward, pressing the peaks until they became soft.

"I heard that the boss has always been single?"

The woman's voice was lazy: "Look, with financial resources and a position that can protect them, wouldn't the boss be able to get more?"

In response, Kewen couldn't help but chuckle.

He didn't respond, but asked knowingly: "What's your name?"

"Katrina."

The woman did not hide anything: "If you have heard of the 'Du Cuckoo' family in Noxus, then you should know the weight of these guarantees of mine. As long as you agree, then what I say can be absolutely guaranteed. "

Hearing this, Kewen felt very fresh.

This was the first time he had been lured and poached.

However, he was not interested in messing around with the other party, so he shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but forget it, I'm fine now."

"Is it really okay?"

Catalina still didn't give up, she said in a bewitching tone: "I know your two daughters are developing very well, but here..."

She raised her hand and pointed to the not-so-high-end store hall: "The conditions you have here don't match the achievements and status your family has achieved, right? Don't you deserve more?"

Katarina shook her head as if she was not worthy of others and sighed: "Not to mention those noble manors in Pilvoorv, if your achievements were placed in our Noxus, I'm afraid you would be a guest wherever you go. You will be respected and even worshiped by all Noxians!"

"But look here."

Catalina reached out and fiddled with the tool kit in front of her: "The entire Zaun is in the sky, but you still live in the deepest part of the city! Your technical strength, which is already at the top of the world, can only be used for maintenance. I work a desolate job to make a living!"

"You misunderstood." Ke Wen said with a smile, "I just like this kind of life."

"I don't believe anyone would settle for mediocrity!"

Catalina squinted her eyes and looked at Ke Wen: "Everyone is crowded when he comes in and out, he enjoys everything extravagantly, he is rich and prosperous, and he is served with fine food. Has the boss never imagined that kind of life?"

"have not thought."

Ke Wen smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I can't imagine it, but because I have experienced more and don't take it seriously."

"Miss Catalina."

He stopped the other party's words in advance: "Power, fame, wealth, beauty, these are no longer temptations for me. I just like my current life, I just like this relaxed and leisurely life."

"Then can't you think about your daughters?"

Catalina still didn't give up: "They could have gotten more because of you!"

"They will." Kewen still smiled indifferently: "But they are pure Zaun people, and they will not get anything by going elsewhere."

"Stubborn." Catalina shook her head in disappointment: "That will bring danger."

"Who is it from?" Ke Wen asked in cooperation.

"like me!"

Catalina casually caressed her hand across the table.

A long screwdriver appeared in her hand at some point.

Turning the screwdriver skillfully between her fingers, Catalina's tone was threatening: "If you don't get it, destroy it. Mr. Boss, have you ever thought about the safety of yourself and your family?"

"Vi and Jinx are pretty strong."

Ke Wen looked at the screwdriver that spun out the phantom, then raised his gaze and looked at the other person's eyes that were already filled with danger.

"I'm pretty strong, too." He said with a smile, "After all, I taught my daughters their skills."

Snapped!

Katerina suddenly grasped the handle of the screwdriver.

She sighed in disappointment: "That's a pity. There should have been a better outcome between us, but now, you have blocked all escape routes."

"is this okay?"

Ke Wen pointed at the screwdriver in the opponent's hand: "Not to mention the 'Glimmer Potion' business between Zaun and Noxus, let's just say that the current situation in your country does not allow for the emergence of another hostile country. Alright?"

"You have no idea how powerful we are in Noxus!"

Catalina chuckled disdainfully: "The small states surrounding the country, or Demacia? And Ionia, which we will soon send troops to conquer?"

She was arrogant and confident: "It doesn't matter! No matter how many hostile forces there are, we in Noxus can separate our legions to conquer them!"

"What's more, you have a small place like Pilvoorf in Zaun that cannot be called a regular military force. We can easily destroy it without even sending out regular troops!"

"Forget it, why are I telling you this..."

Katarina shook her head and stood up from her chair.

She pointed the tip of the screwdriver at Corwin's throat, narrowed her eyes and asked coldly: "I will give you one last chance to answer, surrender to Noxus! Or! Death?!"

Kewen looked at the opponent's already tense arm muscles.

He was amused in his heart, but he said: "This shouldn't be an order from your Noxian high-level officials, right? Is there any problem with such unauthorized actions?"

"It doesn't matter if there is no assassination order."

Catalina replied calmly: "Zuan and Piervotf are ignorant of current affairs. If this is the case, then I can make the decision to cause chaos in these two cities and lay a convenient foundation for the conquest and destruction of the empire!"

Ke Wen smiled, inexplicably.

At the same time, he smiled and said inexplicably: "Here we come."

These words made Catalina slightly raise her eyebrows.

She was very confident because she had already observed Kewen's physical condition.

From Ke Wen's muscular arms and exposed delicate skin, Catalina concluded that Ke Wen was just an ordinary person.

And during the two days of investigation, she didn't hear anyone Ke Wen had a fight with.

That's why she was so patient and chatted with Ke Wen for a long time.

All because she didn't think Coven was a threat.

But Catalina also remained alert.

After listening to Ke Wen's words, she quickly glanced outside the store with her peripheral vision, but she didn't see anyone.

This made her confused about what Ke Wen meant. Could it be that he could escape from her hands by saying some inexplicable words?

Anyway, Ke Wen is just an ordinary person, so if you are curious, just ask.

So, Catalina stretched the tip of the screwdriver forward slightly and asked in a low voice: "What did you say?"

"Isn't that how it's written in storybooks?"

Ke Wen said with a smile: "Villains always fail because they talk too much. In this situation, there will definitely be a scene where the hero saves the beauty or the beauty saves the hero."

Catalina was stunned for a moment, then was amused.

She shook her head speechlessly. She didn't intend to get entangled with Ke Wen anymore. It was better to complete the assassination immediately and let the twin cities become chaotic as soon as possible.

Therefore, Catalina suddenly put away all the emotions on her face.

She leaned forward indifferently, about to stab the screwdriver into Ke Wen's throat.

at this time!

jingle!

The doorbell rang softly, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

A head of red curly hair first entered the store door, followed closely by a lazy voice.

"Hello~ Although there is a closed sign outside, I saw someone in the house, oh? Are you playing some local game?"

As she spoke, a playful look appeared in Miss Fortune's smiling eyes...
