Recognizing that the young man was Li Lin, Catalina quickly suppressed her impatience and forced out a smile that she thought was quite feminine.

However, this is different from Cassiopeia, who inherited her mother's political acumen and received special training from the Black Rose.

She grew up in arduous training. Even though her figure and beauty were among the best, her fake smile could be seen by anyone who knew a little about the ways of the world.

"You, are you Li Lin?!"

She pretended to be surprised and acted like Li Lin's "little fan girl". Her acting skills couldn't be said to be very good, it could only be said to be none at all.

Well, even if that's the case, at least it's better than some young actors' acting skills...

Li Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"I've heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet you today!"

When she noticed that he seemed to be looking at the two swords on her back, Katarina hurriedly explained, "Ahahahaha...this, this is what I use for self-defense. In Noxus, it's very dangerous to go out without a self-defense weapon."

"Is that so..." Li Lin nodded with a look of realization on his face.

Anbesa was surprised by Catalina's reaction, but she quickly reacted and took a quick look at Li Lin, only to realize that this man was almost exactly the same as the portrait in the intelligence she received.

But unlike the young and energetic Catalina, Anbesa, who has been in politics for many years, noticed something unusual.

Li Lin's personality is obviously different from the elegant, easy-going and graceful person described in the intelligence.

Even though he behaved like a gentleman in front of Catalina, Anbesa could immediately see the "aggression" and "desire" in his eyes.

He has already established a relationship with the eldest daughter of the Jilaman family, so he shouldn't be messing around with other women...

Anbesa was cautious.

But she would not remind Catalina that this guy was sent to monitor her.

The Midalda family cannot afford to offend the Du Kokao family and Swain, and by the way, Katarina is not someone Anbesa can afford to offend, even though this woman has lost power in the Du Kokao family.

It is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Even if she is confident that she can defeat Katarina in a head-on battle, she cannot prevent the assassination of a top assassin.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and she is old now, and her fighting ability and reaction speed are not as good as they used to be.

It’s fine if Li Lin can deal with Catalina, but it won’t be a loss if he can’t. Anyway, this is Catalina’s own fault, what does it have to do with her?

Moreover, it would be difficult to obtain the technology that would allow Midalda to be revitalized from Li Lin, so she planned to start from her daughter's lover, Jace, who was also a genius scientist.

Anbesa's thoughts raced, but he quickly collected himself and continued to observe the situation silently.

"Really? I'm truly honored to be favored by a beautiful lady like you." Li Lin showed a surprised expression, but then returned to a polite smile. "May I know your name, Miss?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Katarina's face. "My name is Karina Peoa, and I come from a Noxus business family!"

"Karina Peoa..." Li Lin sneered in his heart, "What a beautiful name, just like you, as dazzling as the stars in the sky."

Catalina suppressed the disgust in her heart, pretended to be shy and lowered her eyes, with a sharp cold light and murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Is that so... This is the first time someone has praised me like this." She clumsily imitated the gestures of the ladies from the noble families she had infiltrated before, covering her mouth with her hands and chuckling, "You really are very good at giving compliments."

Li Lin bowed politely and extended his right hand in an invitation. "May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"

Catalina subconsciously glanced at Anbesa from the corner of her eye, as if wanting to get help from her.

But she turned her eyes away, pretending to look at the surrounding shops, and ignored this side.

Catalina gritted her teeth, forced out a barely happy smile, and placed her hand on Li Lin's palm. "Of course, it's my honor!"

…

…

Anbesa did not interfere with Catalina and Li Lin's "good thing". She laughed and "blessed" her to have a good time, then strode towards the bathhouse in the distance.

Li Lin brought Katarina to the northern part of Piltover, which is a restaurant that specializes in serving the upper class nobles. It is almost the most luxurious restaurant and belongs to the Amara business family. Piltover University is sponsored by this family.

Although this restaurant has always advocated reservations, Li Lin is currently Piltover's most dazzling rising star. His fame and status in pushing the Twin Cities into a new era are indelible. Even if he did not make a reservation in advance, the restaurant owner still welcomed him in.

In fact, the boss was very confused in his heart as to why Li Lin did not have dinner with Miss Jilaman today, but instead invited a red-haired girl with a cold temperament, carrying weapons, and who did not look like a good person at first glance to have dinner together, but he did not ask much.

After all, this is none of his business. All he can do is to do his best to entertain Li Lin and the women around him. The rest of the things are not his concern.

"This restaurant is too luxurious. Is it inappropriate for us to come here..."

Catalina looked uneasy, and was obviously not used to this kind of luxurious aristocratic life, even though she herself was a noble.

"It doesn't matter. They know me. Besides, it's just a meal and it doesn't cost much. There's nothing to be restrained about." Li Lin smiled and waved his hand.

However, being too famous is not a good thing in some aspects. It’s okay that those who are backed by a family that is friendly with the Jiraman family may not say anything.
