The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 237: Caitlyn, the policewoman of Piltover

Crack!

The electric current flickered, and bursts of piercing sounds rang out, as if every molecule in the air was trembling.

The bad youths who heard the noise looked at their companions who were twitching and foaming at the mouth on the ground. The fierceness on their faces turned into fear, and they were trembling, almost wanting to leave first.

But before they left, chaotic footsteps came.

The Piltover guards rushed into the alley like a purple tide, and the Hextech standard rifles in their hands flashed azure light and aimed at everyone.

"Uh!"

The bad youths saw the cold eyes of the Piltover guards and the residual electric current glow on the dark muzzle, and made the most correct decision.

Clang! Clang!

Accompanied by bursts of crisp sounds, sharp daggers and blades fell to the ground one after another.

These bad youths did not hesitate at all, holding their heads with both hands, leaning against the wall honestly, and squatting down.

"Guard, we are just chatting together, there is no need to open fire, right?"

"Yes, yes, is chatting illegal?"

"If any accident happens to our companions, we will definitely complain about your partiality in law enforcement."

"Ah, stop it!"

"Stop it! We are wrong!"

The Piltover guards with cold faces did not say anything nonsense, kicked directly and started beating the bad youths with the butt of the gun.

The Piltover guard at the front frowned, walked past the bad youths who were wailing with disgust, walked in front of Huo Jixing, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What happened here?"

Just outside the alley, the Piltover guard noticed Huo Jixing's unusualness.

When faced with those vicious bad youths, ordinary people usually show fear or panic.

But Huo Jixing seemed unusually calm, and it can even be said that he was fearless.

Such a performance naturally attracted the attention of the Piltover guards.

Huo Jixing retracted his gaze and looked at the Piltover guards in front of him.

This guy seems to be different from ordinary Piltover guards.

Wearing a blue uniform, gold-rimmed glasses, and a black beard on the corner of his mouth, he looks more majestic and mature, and looks trustworthy.

Piltover Detective!

In Piltover, the duty of Piltover guards is to maintain public security and order.

Usually patrol the streets, prevent and deal with emergencies, and protect the lives and property of citizens.

Piltover detectives are higher-level law enforcement officers, and their duties are more to investigate cases and arrest criminals.

"Someone is robbing."

Huo Jixing spoke softly, and was about to look for the middle-aged woman who lost her backpack, but found that she had left the alley since she didn't know when.

Seeing this, the Piltover detective reached out and patted Huo Jixing on the shoulder, somewhat understanding his feelings.

"If there are no witnesses, we need you to return to the police station to assist in the investigation."

Huo Jixing nodded helplessly, saying that it was no problem, and let the Piltover guard take him and the bad youths away from the scene.

When they walked out of the alley, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, pointing and talking to Huo Jixing and others without fear.

"What a chaotic place." Huo Jixing sighed inwardly.

Although the lower urban area is still the sphere of influence of Piltover, no one is allowed to trample on the law at will.

But this place is after all bordering the Zaun area, and it is inevitably affected by Zaun, and it is chaotic and disorderly.

"Huh?"

When the Piltover guards took Huo Jixing away.

He saw a familiar face in a shop beside the street.

"It's her."

Huo Jixing wrote down the name of the shop and followed the Piltover guards back to the Piltover Police Station.

Lower urban area, Piltover Police Station.

Compared with the dilapidated and dirty streets before, the police station seemed to come from another world.

The hustle and bustle and chaos were isolated outside the glass door.

The interior of the police station was clean and tidy, the smooth floor reflected the light, and there was a special place for garbage.

When Huo Jixing came in, he saw many Piltover guards busy handling various affairs.

They were either standing, sitting, or interrogating prisoners, concentrating on their work.

When Huo Jixing and the bad youths came in, the Piltover guard cast a scrutinizing look, and then showed disgust on his face.

Obviously, these bad youths have long been frequent visitors to the police station.

Huo Jixing sat down on a clean seat, and opposite him was the Piltover detective who brought him here.

"Those are Zaun people, engaging in illegal trade." The Piltover detective followed Huo Jixing's gaze and spoke softly.

The Zaun people he mentioned are people who have transformed their bodies with alchemical technology and have mechanical arms, but they look a little old and rusty.

"Ariel, Piltover detective." Ariel said in a deep voice.

His eyes swept over Huo Jixing, as if he was evaluating this unusual young man.

Huo Jixing didn't care about Ariel's gaze, and took out the badge of the Midalda family from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Huo Jixing, the advisor of the Midalda family."

Ariel's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he reached out to pick up the iron badge and observed it carefully.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo Jixing, for the inconvenience." Ariel stood up, bent slightly, and held the iron badge in both hands.

"We will make a decision as soon as possible and teach those guys an unforgettable lesson."

Huo Jixing took back the badge, glanced at the bad boys who were wailing not far away, and shook his head gently.

"Can we leave now?"

"Of course, you can leave at any time." Ariel noticed Huo Jixing's gaze and said with a smile.

Huo Jixing nodded and stood up and left his seat.

It must be said that the badge of the Midalda family is really easy to use. It can be concluded without assisting in the investigation and skipping the inquiry process.

A glimpse of the leopard shows the terrifying influence of the Midalda family in Piltover.

Huo Jixing walked past the workstation with a relaxed look.

Just as he arrived at the glass door, a voice sounded behind him.

"Why can he leave directly?" A bad boy stood up and said indignantly.

But he was greeted by a loud slap.

Snap!

Ariel swung his palm directly, turning the bad boy's body halfway, and he fell heavily to the ground, with a bright red slap mark almost engraved on his face.

The next moment!

The police station seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, extremely noisy.

The bad youth's companions started to make a noise, but they were waiting for a similar ending.

When Ariel finished dealing with everything, he looked at the gradually leaving back and breathed a sigh of relief.

There were not many people who could walk in Piltover holding the Midalda family emblem.

Even within the Midalda family, there were only a few people.

"Ariel, what happened?"

A questioning voice sounded behind him. Ariel looked over and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Sheriff Caitlin."

Ariel straightened his body and saluted respectfully to the woman in front of him wearing a police uniform and carrying a Hextech precision rifle.

Then he told the story of what he had just encountered on the street.

"Advisor of the Midalda family?"

Caitlin's expression froze, and her eyes fell on the back that was gradually disappearing outside the door.

Ordinary people in Piltover only knew that the Midalda family was very rich and could even influence the decisions of the parliament to a certain extent.

But Caitlin, who came from a business family, understood the Midalda family's overwhelming power even more.

Before becoming the sheriff, Caitlin Gillamane was a rich and powerful lady from a business family. She had learned the social etiquette of Piltover society since she was a child.

Her mother was one of the major auditors of the Gillamane family and was a member of the upper class of Piltover.

But she still had a few steps to go before she could become a member of the Piltover Council.

The Midalda family had a direct descendant who served as a member of the Piltover Council and had a considerable say.

"But the Midalda family seemed to have encountered something recently, and merchant ships going out to sea were frequently attacked."

Caitlin's eyes flickered, and she said to herself.

Then she looked at the bad youths lying on the ground and said to Ariel in a light tone.

"Be careful, don't kill anyone."

Although Caitlin was a lady from a business family, she liked to go to the wilderness outside the city since she was a child.

She could also use her father's repeating Mauser rifle to hit a hare a hundred steps away with one shot, and she only shot the eyes.

After experiencing the family's looting, Caitlin changed completely.

She found the people who broke into her house one by one in the alleys of Piltover and brought them to justice.

In the end, Caitlyn was recommended by the Piltover Guard and became a respected sheriff among the Piltover Guard.

Ariel touched his beard, looked at Caitlyn, and nodded to show that he understood.

"Well, I have something to do first."

Caitlyn retracted her gaze, carrying the Hextech precision rifle on her back, and walked towards her office.

"When Wei comes back later, let her come to me directly."

"Okay, I will inform the commander." Ariel stood at attention and saluted.

Outside the Piltover Police Station.

Huo Jixing seemed to have sensed something, stopped his steps, and looked back.

His calm eyes ignored the glass door, and saw a familiar figure beside Ariel.

Caitlyn, the Piltover policewoman!

Her long dark purple hair shone in the sun, and her cold eyes revealed an inviolable majesty.

The fitted police uniform and the slender figure perfectly show Caitlin's beauty and competence.

Thick leather gloves wrapped around her hands, carrying a Hextech precision rifle with a hint of danger.

"Why is her partner, the Piltover law enforcement officer Wei from Zaun, not here?"

Huo Jixing was slightly surprised to see Caitlin in the police station.

But he would not rashly return to the police station to say hello to Caitlin.

Huo Jixing left the police station and walked along the street, recalling the familiar face he had just seen in the shop.

"Why is she in the lower city?"

After a moment of hesitation, Huo Jixing decided to investigate again at night, adhering to the principle of caution.

Boom!

The copper cable car came closer and slower, and finally stopped steadily in front of the platform.

Huo Jixing calmly got off the cable car and looked at the Chamber of Commerce area.

Bronze and glazed buildings stand in rows, exquisite shops are lined up, people flow in and out, and traffic is busy.

The prosperous scene in front of him and the lower urban area form a strong sense of separation.

Just as Huo Jixing was admiring this prosperous scene, a tall figure in the uniform of the Piltover Guard came over.

It was the captain of the Piltover Guard -

Mateu.

This guy walked briskly and powerfully, and greeted Huo Jixing with a smile on his face.

"Lord Huo Jixing, are you going out for a walk again?"

Huo Jixing smiled and said, "I went to the lower city."

He did not elaborate on his itinerary, and Matyu did not ask more.

In recent days, Huo Jixing would meet Matyu from time to time every time he went out.

It can be seen that the captain of the Piltover Guard seemed to pay special attention to Huo Jixing and always tried to curry favor with him.

Huo Jixing was also happy about this, and learned a lot of interesting stories about Piltover from Matyu.

"The lower city." Matyu touched his chin, approached Huo Jixing, and whispered.

"Have you ever tasted the glimmer wine?"

Huo Jixing's heart moved, and he quickly recalled the origin of the glimmer wine.

Glimmer potion.

Derived from the alchemical magic potion of Zaun.

The original purpose was to treat diseases through potions, but later it became a terrible research to pursue power and immortality.

And glimmer wine is a drink produced with a small dose of glimmer potion.

It is rumored that glimmer wine can bring a subtle sense of healing to people, but it is somewhat addictive.

"Isn't this a prohibited alcoholic beverage from Zaun?" Huo Jixing asked.

Glimmer Wine has long been included in Piltover's prohibited list and is not allowed to be sold in the city.

"Haha, in the lower city, as long as you have money, you can get anything." Matyu laughed immediately.

"If you need it, I can get you a few bottles."

"No need."

Huo Jixing shook his head gently, rejecting Matyu's kindness.

He understood that sometimes just a simple opening may give others a chance to control themselves.

Matyu heard a flash of surprise in his eyes.

But he quickly concealed it and continued to talk to Huo Jixing with his enthusiastic smile.

Until Huo Jixing returned to Midalda Castle.

"Huh?"

Huo Jixing strolled on the way back to his room.

He looked at the silent castle and noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, as if something had happened.

He frowned slightly, looked at the towering main castle, and chose to return to his room first.

Since the Midalda family has not found him yet, it means that the matter is still within their scope of resolution.

Study in the main castle.

The glass light permeates the ground.

Jagu Midarda sat behind the desk, staring at the old butler in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"It's almost the agreed time, and there is no news yet?"

Hiro thought of the explorer who took the task, and his expression was a little helpless.

"There is no news from that person for the time being."

"But with his reputation in Piltover, he should bring back news before the agreed time."

Jagu leaned against the soft chair, rubbed his nose, and his tone was extremely cold.

"I don't want to hear the word should."

"The guests from Noxus are in the castle, and the Midarda family will never allow any mistakes."

Hiro's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his bent body trembled slightly.

The seemingly gentle and respected old man in front of him has a cruelty that ordinary people cannot see.

Otherwise, the Midarda family would not have developed into the most powerful chamber of commerce family in Piltover.

"I will arrange for him to go immediately and look for him."

Hiro bowed and left the room, his back disappearing into the corridor.
