Capturing Renata is a big deal. She is the Alchemist Baron who currently ranks first in comprehensive strength in Zaun, far surpassing the second.

Of course, Hilko and Vandel are not Alchemy Barons and are not included in this ranking.

Li Lin handed Renata over to Grayson, who hurriedly led the elite law enforcement officers from the middle square, and asked her to escort Renata secretly and not let any news leak out.

They are still not sure what Renata's next move is.

The stability of Zaun must be guaranteed. Before that, Li Lin needs to immediately gain control of all Golask Industries.

Time was urgent, so Li Lin called Silko and informed him of the arrest of Golask, and then asked him to summon all the alchemy barons to hold another alchemy baron meeting.

Hilco roughly guessed what Li Lin wanted to do, so he agreed directly and informed him to come to the conference room in the building of the border market in an hour.

After setting a time, Li Lin asked the intelligent computer to reallocate tasks and mobilize about a hundred idle mechanical engineers, dividing them into groups of 3 to 5 to stand by at more than 20 factories currently owned by Golask, and scan whether there are any dangerous items like bombs inside.

If there is, the mechanical engineers will not need to wait for Li Lin's order, they can break into the factory on their own to seize control, cut off the internal communication with the outside world, and disarm the bomb detonation system.

If not, they only need to wait until Li Lin finishes the Alchemy Baron Meeting, obtains accurate information, and cooperates with the people sent by Silko to control all the factories at the same time.

Among the countless stores, Li Lin only focused on some alchemy workshops.

For places of daily operation such as dance halls, bars, restaurants, etc., it is enough to let Hilco's people investigate.

…

…

Half an hour passed in a flash.

Since he had nothing to do for the time being, Li Lin had already arrived at Hilco's office early to discuss the content of the upcoming Alchemist Baron meeting with him.

First of all, the matter of Alchemist Baron Bonnie has been settled, and Hilco is no longer prepared to consider the former brotherly and sisterly relationship and send a modified human enhanced by alchemical technology equipped with the Glimmer Potion to deal with her.

The dance hall has been blocked by the Piltover police and Li Lin's mechanical engineers. Bonnie currently does not know that Renata has been captured.

She was informed by Hilko that she was coming from the middle square and would be intercepted halfway.

According to Li Lin's understanding of Silko, she would probably be transported to the Watcher's Sea at the border of the Piltover Canal before tonight, and sink to the bottom of the sea to accompany the manta rays.

In addition to her, Alchemist Baron Middenstock is also on Hillco's disposal list.

He had evidence that Middenstock was secretly communicating with Renata, and he planned to show it to everyone at the Alchemy Baron Meeting later, so that he could deal with him openly.

In addition, Li Lin said that he wanted to remove all the alchemy barons' control over the various districts in Zaun, and Hilco supported this.

There is really no need for the Alchemy Baron Organization to continue to exist.

Although Renata is gone and he is now the only one in control of Zaun, the other alchemy barons are still obstacles to his rule over Zaun.

Li Lin could guess what was in Hilco's heart, and he also understood his deep-seated ambitions, so he naturally wouldn't let him get what he wanted.

According to the plan, Li Lin has been training Mundo recently, and he will also be Li Lin's spokesperson in Zaun.

Once the Chem-Baron's control over Zaun is removed, Mundo will no longer have to stay in the Arsenal and can directly step onto the stage.

By then, Hilco will regain control of part of the urban area, and Li Lin will help Mondo regain another part.

With the addition of Vandall of Black Alley, Zaun can almost form a "separation of powers" situation.

It's not mentioned that Vander has no interest in power struggles and just wants to manage his own business peacefully.

Mundo is not as good as Silko, but with Li Lin's support, he can just check and balance Silko and prevent him from completely dominating Zaun.

Li Lin chatted with Hilco for a long time. When the intelligent computer reminded them that an hour was up, they both stood up and took the elevator slowly and leisurely, chatting and laughing, to the meeting room on the next floor.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, the alchemy barons inside were sitting upright.

Unlike the last alchemy baron meeting, all alchemy barons participated in the meeting this time.

Renni, Barritt, and Longfellow sat together. They were old acquaintances of Vander and Hilco, and were in charge of the Plant Cultivation Center, the Thaumaturgy School, and the Terrace Square respectively.

Voslanar controls several mines in the trench and operates a robot manufacturing industry, and has connections with the upper city.

They were members of the last Alchemy Baron Conference.

This time, in addition to "Lighter Man" Finn and Bonnie, there are three new faces.

A thin middle-aged man who was dressed in a well-dressed manner, had sparse hair, was wearing alchemical technology amplification equipment, had sickly pale skin, and obviously had hardly ever been exposed to the sun. He always had a mercenary smile on his face, giving people the impression of being cunning and smooth.

A Vastayan with two stun batons on his belt, wearing alchemical leather armor, and looking a bit like a Pekingese dog.

A middle-aged man who transplanted his head onto an alchemical technology body, wrapped in a transparent explosion-proof breathing mask, with deadly weapons all over his body. His copper-colored alchemical steel claws are sharp and intimidating.

The three of them are Middenstock, Spender and Adrian.

Spender killed his boss, Ryan Nickfer, the previous Alchemy Baron, who was in charge of the business empire.

Adrian was the baron who discovered oil right after Renata, and he controlled several alchemy workshops, mines, and refineries.

As soon as they entered the door, several alchemy barons turned their eyes to Li Lin and Xierko.

Among them, Spender and Adrian noticed that Li Lin was half a step ahead of Hilco, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Confusion and tension appeared on the faces of Renni, Barritt and Longfellow.

The meeting was about to begin, but they didn't see Bonnie, and they couldn't help but worry about her.

Because of his physical condition, Lanner also underwent alchemical technology transformation and had his head transplanted onto a mechanical body.

She has worked with Li Lin and their relationship is pretty good, without any psychological burden.

Voss had dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were dull, and his face was full of worry and fear, as if he had encountered something difficult to deal with recently.

Li Lin quickly took in everyone's expressions and walked straight to the main seat in the room and sat down. Hilko sat on the other side of him.

Facing everyone's surprised expressions, Li Lin knocked on the table and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
