Li Lin transmigrated to Piltover on the continent of Valoran. He originally thought his life would pass by uneventfully, until he became an employee of the Kiramman family and discovered he possess...
Camille killed her brother, and thus removed the last piece of weakness in her heart.
The weak-hearted woman she once was was gone, and now there was only darkness and coldness in her heart.
In Li Lin's opinion, Camille now has almost no weaknesses, which fits the true image of the "Grey Lady" in his mind.
Of course, she only has "almost no weaknesses".
Li Lin knew that Camille's former lover had actually died of old age.
The only remaining one that could threaten her was the Philos family.
Li Lin really didn't want to use this to coerce Camille, but given the current situation and her actual thoughts, it was completely impossible.
The Grey Lady has never been a qualified ruler behind the scenes. She always says that she wants to maintain the stability of the Twin Cities, but her actual practices are obvious to all.
Are the two cities stable?
Unstable.
If it weren't for Li Lin, Zaun's alchemy barons, Renata Golask, the inferior and unstable alchemy technology, and even Vandal Warwick who became Zaun's angry beast and Urgot in the hook would all be threats.
And in Piltover, there's the massive smuggling of Hextech, the invasion of Noxian war masons, the monopoly of power and property by the parliament and the great families, the decay and depravity of the entire city, and Jinx's massive destruction...
Later, Ionia's golden demon, Kada Jhin, came to Piltover to cause trouble and was hunted down by a group of elite law enforcement officers led by Camille.
Even so, she let the prepared opponent escape and failed to capture him.
Whichever point it is, it threatens the stability of these two "twin sister" city-states.
But since Camille took over as the head of the Ferros family and became the real ruler behind Piltover, none of these issues have been resolved.
She didn't even contribute as much to maintaining the stability of Piltover as Caitlyn, who would later become the Sheriff of Piltover.
Camille has always been a selfish person. Everything she does is for the Ferros family. Even when looking at the Twin Cities, she always puts her family first.
In other words, people like her who are limited to a small area and engage in internal conflicts for power and profit are no different from frogs in a well.
However, Li Lin was quite understanding of Camille. After all, she didn't know about the upcoming world crisis and had never thought about it.
After comprehensive consideration, Li Lin was so sharp and blunt in his response to Camille's idea of setting his sights on and taking control of Piltover.
I've almost got the Twin Cities back on track, and you want to mess with me?
That's about it.
Although Camille was very dissatisfied with Li Lin's tough attitude, she had no choice.
What he said is indeed good and reasonable. He really cares about the Twin Cities and wants to lead them to rise.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons why she compromised.
There is another more important reason...
She was totally no match for Li Lin.
Not only in terms of individual strength, but also since the assistance to Zaun some time ago, those batches of fully functional and large-scale intelligent robots are not something Camille can contend with.
Besides, she also heard that Li Lin had hooked up with the legendary wind goddess Janna...
Looking back, Camille realized that in just over a year, Li Lin had grown from a handyman in a watch repair shop to his current level.
Looking back at the past of Piltover, or even the former Zaun, there has never been a genius like him.
Perhaps, Li Lin can really bring changes to Shuangcheng and lead Shuangcheng to the top of the world.
Camille thought to herself.
…
…
The next day, at Camille's instruction, the Philos family announced the "death" of their head, Stevan.
The new head of the family will be his great-niece Abil Firoz.
Karina seemed a little panicked. She ran to Li Lin's room early in the morning, knocked on his door, and almost discovered that he was in Caitlin's room last night.
She just wanted to know in detail what happened last night:
Why did the old man die right after Li Lin attended the party invited by Stevan?
Even though Karina hated Stevan, she wouldn't just kill him like that, right?
Li Lin was helpless and stated the facts to Camille as agreed with her.
Stevan died of a sudden heart attack at the banquet. It was so sudden that no one expected this to happen.
Hearing that Stevan's death had nothing to do with Li Lin, Kalina breathed a sigh of relief and asked him to make preparations in advance and wait for some time to attend Stevan's funeral.
In fact, it wasn't just Gilaman. The entire Piltover, especially the major councilors and powerful families, were in an uproar.
They all knew that Philos was the ruler behind the Upper City.
Now that the head of the family, Stevan, is dead, Abs, as they expected, did not take the position. Instead, his sister became the head of the family. All the big families started to have evil thoughts.
If they can bring down the Ferros family, they will be able to truly control the lifeblood of Piltover.
However, when they saw Camille in public at Stevan's funeral, those little thoughts were instantly dispelled and replaced by fear.
The Gray Lady had actually stopped hiding her whereabouts and combined it with a naive little girl who hadn't even reached adulthood to become the head of the family...
They probably guessed why Camille no longer hid herself as a spy.
Stevan's funeral was very grand. Almost all the famous families in Piltover sent representatives to attend his farewell, which was also Camille's final explanation to her brother.
