Those young people and those who had just reached middle age responded one after another and hurriedly agreed to Li Ke's recruitment without even a single promise or guarantee. Those who were old all wanted to follow Li Ke tremblingly, but their clothes

The most luxurious ones all showed angry and dissatisfied expressions.

"Ha...a bunch of worthless guys."

An old man next to Li Ke sighed and shook his head. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about these people's rebellion.

"You should have done it on the spur of the moment, young man. What you did should have been done suddenly. Don't deny it, because you were not able to organize a riot well, or it should be called an uprising.

Isn’t it?”

After the old man finished speaking, he paused for a moment. When he saw that Li Ke turned around and did not hang him directly, he nodded slightly.

"It seems you still respect the old man."

Li Ke smiled.

"Respecting the old and loving the young is a human virtue, and it shouldn't be the struggle of a certain nation or country, right? Young children can make the future better, while the elderly are their own future now, and there are a lot of

The accumulation of wisdom.”

He is not in a hurry at all. With these traitorous elites, the purge of the upper class will be very fast. The only thing left is to clean up the scum among these elites. So what should be anxious is that these people who are in the original

Only those who were in the upper echelons and had a lot of blood debts on their hands could respond. The old man showed a deeply convinced expression. He looked at the uneasy secretary and the people who were shouting loudly, and then continued to speak.

"Ah, it looks like we can have a chat. Bernard, could you please help this gentleman record the criminal evidence of my old friends? Try to find something about civilians and how you exploited those workers.

, I think these things are what this gentleman needs. In addition, this gentleman, please put down the young people around me. They are students and workers from the bottom. They came to me today to get my

recommended, if they are allowed to continue to stay here, I am afraid they will be framed."

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at the two plainly dressed students beside him. Li Ke glanced at the secretary named Bernard, and the other party nodded anxiously and told this.

The identity of an old gentleman.

"Mr. Lines is a famous mechanical master and is used to promoting civilians, and... he does not belong to any force and works in a college for civilians. Because he is unwilling to join forces with others to squeeze students and block knowledge, he is now also

He is just a lecturer, but even the position of professor is because his technology is so excellent and he has provided all his patents to the entire Piltover for free, so he was awarded the honorary professorship."

Li Ke nodded.

"What about the stain?"

Bernard was stunned for a moment, and then spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Do you like chatting more with young children?"

"Just chat?"

"Yes, just chatting and distributing the few candies and snacks I have. Because Mr. Stevan once wanted to threaten the other party due to the failure of recruitment, so Miss Camille did a detailed investigation, and because of Ryan

I had a quarrel with Stevan about Mr. Lynes’ matter, and was no longer willing to take action against Mr. Lines, well, but Mr. Stevan didn’t think so.”

Li Ke looked at the young secretary speechlessly.

"This is not evidence of guilt, idiot! This is called virtue!"

During the entire questioning process, Mr. Lanes watched everything with a smile, and only opened his mouth with a smile after Li Ke got the answer he wanted.

"It seems that you are very cautious, which is definitely a good thing and happy. After all, I think we all don't want unpleasant turmoil in this city, right?"

Li Ke nodded. He has always respected such people, because such people have really dedicated their lives to this city, and in this place full of businessmen, such a person can actually appear.

This also made Li Ke very emotional. Because in order to benefit themselves better, businessmen will not hesitate to talk about hard work, dedication and other beautiful values, and use these beautiful things to cover up their dirty skin.

To achieve the purpose of profit.

But the problem is, if you talk too much, ghosts will eventually appear. If you talk about an ideal a thousand times, there will definitely be people who pursue this ideal and struggle. And in order to better harvest what they preach, they will also

will become the universal values ​​of the places where they are harvested.

And this value system is the most fertile breeding ground for the growth of things that overthrow them.

"Of course, I'm happy to talk to you and take your advice. And Bernard, take this, find a few people who won't displease me, and then do what this gentleman says."

Li Ke snapped his fingers, and the students around Mr. Lines and the branches on his body quickly dispersed, and when the old gentleman loosened his restraints, a handful appeared behind him.

A chair, and a table covered with fruit appeared in front of him. After the other party was surprised, he laughed, and then naturally did it amidst the curses of others. Bernard also took the hand from Li Ke.

The branches that were used to release the restraints quickly went to exchange benefits and did what Li Ke ordered.

Although the people he left behind were not very happy because they were given a large sum of money by Bernard, they did not run away when Li Ke's attention was not with them. Instead, they quickly began to summarize like Bernard.

and interrogate all kinds of criminal evidence as a way to advance.

"It seems that you really launched this uprising without any preparation."

After seeing Li Ke sitting next to him, the old man first comforted his apprentice, and then looked at Li Ke and asked the question that made Li Ke pay attention to him. And Li Ke also discovered that, in fact, this

The gentleman was also very nervous, with fine sweat on his palms and forehead. It was obvious that he wanted to do more things and put a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.

"Yes, because I was seen by this Camille during the investigation, and based on my understanding of this lady, if I leave Piltover, then my ideas will never be implemented here, because

She would unceremoniously kill everyone who came into contact with me, and these people would also agree and be very happy to carry out it. And as I gradually began to recognize myself, there was absolutely no way I would let this place go, so I did it

After all, whether I overturn the garbage here directly in the future or overturn the garbage here now, it is the same to me, but it is different to ordinary people here."

As a result, after he said what he said, an angry expression appeared on the old man's face, and he stood up and slapped the table, causing everyone around him to exclaim and worry about the old man.

"So, you did such a thing without any follow-up plan, clearer goals, or even publicity? And you did it without considering the consequences?! Let the city be in danger of unrest?!"

After taking the tea that Bernard, who was sweating profusely, took the time to bring, Li Ke nodded, poured a cup of tea for the old gentleman, and then pointed around.

"Sure, why not?"

Li Ke gave an embarrassing answer.

"It conflicts with the ideals I uphold, but I do have the power of one person to defeat a country. In addition to the superior gods, the only ones who can threaten me are demons who believe in killing gods. So why do I

Can't do this? And you have also seen that I successfully made everything go according to my ideas, and all I have to do is to find someone like you who is kind and has no blood debt to be responsible for carrying out my will.

, and just manage this city.”

Li Ke picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The warm tea showed how attentive the person who made this cup of tea was, and the fact that he could make such good tea under such circumstances also fully demonstrated the skills of the tea maker.

.

"Furthermore, the philosophy I uphold not only conflicts with the world in terms of the source of power, but also conflicts with it in many places. But fortunately, this philosophy itself is a way of dialectical thinking, so I don't feel that it is in conflict with the world.

After I spread this idea, I will not have anyone to work with me to improve the operation and spread of this idea in this world. Especially when there is still a similar but distorted idea in this world."

Noxus.

The old man immediately thought of this country, so he hesitated before asking.

"Are you from Noxus?"

Li Ke took a deep breath to prevent his emotions from changing too much. He let his mood enter anger and enter the state of wanting to burn everything twisted in front of him: this state happened when he killed the general.

Follow him all the time. Once he hears about Noxus, or encounters something related to Noxus, this state will quietly appear.

"Yes, and I am still a slave. And if nothing else happens, I will also overthrow this decadent and twisted country. And when I attack this city, I actually have the idea of ​​cutting off Noxus's supply of weapons and supplies.

"

Li Ke's words are true, because once the Piltover trade line is cut off, not only will they have problems transporting troops, but even their control of Shurima will be weakened, leaving Azir's

The conquest of Shurima has become faster and smoother. It is even said that the offensive on Ionia will have to stop because of this, because they will not be able to obtain the transportation capacity and large amounts of supplies of Pi City, and even have to

Gathering forces to attack Piltover to ensure control of Shurima's resources and troops, as well as the security of his rear. And he himself was able to pass through Demacia and Piltover's transportation capabilities to Freyr.

Zod transported supplies, armed Ashe's tribe, and when necessary, forced Noxus to send additional troops to the Freljord to prevent their attack.

Therefore, after the Noxians figure out the situation, they will definitely attack Pi City in a large scale. At that time, it will be the time when they will completely show their will to the world and clean up what they see.

Everything is rubbish.

Seemingly sensing the murderous intent in Li Ke's words, the old man's eyelids twitched before he tried to calm himself down.

"So you also want to turn slaves into civilians and send them to the battlefield together with civilians to serve your ambitions?"

Mr. Lines was very worried about this matter. When he was young, he also yearned for the idea that everyone in Noxus was equal and could realize the value of his life through his own efforts. However, the cruelty of Noxus

But this longing turned into a kind of disgust. Especially when he discovered the various behaviors of the Noxian nobles and the real situation. As well as the miserable lives and fate of the civilians and poor people, he

I began to hate that empire. Because these people can even violate their own slogans. In comparison, Pi City, which allows civilians to study, is a truly civilized city.

"What Noxus did is something that I hate and hate, and because of my own experience, I am very disgusted and despised by forcing civilians to go to the battlefield. So what you are worried about will not

Although I do know how to wage war, I am the only one participating in the war... because I alone am enough."

Li Ke's words really relieved many people, especially those civilians who also guessed that Li Ke was a Noxian. They were really afraid of the Noxian system. All civilians must

To participate in the battle, even underage children will be sent to the battlefield to kill, and because the enemy is kind to these children, they will also set up tactics and conduct large-scale recruitment.

Therefore, they were really relieved after hearing that Li Ke could only attack alone when he launched the war. Because Li Ke's words were really convincing, and he really could conquer it alone.

Their city was destroyed, and in the process, all their struggles were of no use, and they had no ability to resist at all. So they chose to believe for the time being.

Naturally, the old man was only convinced of part of it, and the rest would have to wait until Li Ke's subsequent rule, so he asked the question that concerned him the most and that everyone cared about the most.

"Then what do you want to do with this city?"

This question is actually a bit difficult for Li Ke, because he is also thinking about this problem, but it doesn't matter. Although the specific method requires thinking and preparation, the clear goal always exists, and it is so simple.

"Let everyone have enough food and clothing, and not have to worry about being robbed. They can live and work in peace and contentment and pursue their goals. This is my goal, and I will do the same to this city."

Lines shook his head.

"A lot of people said that, including Piltover."

However, this kind of problem does not trouble Li Ke at all.

"But you can only choose to follow me and help me accomplish this goal."

He showed an innocent smile.

"Because you can't beat me."
