Some representatives of smaller families had already started arguing, while the representatives of the leading large families were more educated and just looked at Li Lin's armor curiously without saying a word.
More than ten seconds later, a middle-aged man with a decorative mechanical telescopic cane, a middle-parted slicked-back hair, a big mustache, and round glasses stood next to Karina. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem."
Everyone present fell silent instantly, not daring to say another word. They seemed to be very afraid of this man and seemed to follow him as their leader.
He was wearing a tan jacket, a light blue and white vertical striped shirt, and tan slim-fit trousers and boots.
The shoulders of his coat were embellished with gold sculptures of workers creating mechanical devices, and his collar, trimmed with gold metal, rose high behind his head, like the halo of an earthly god.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Abbas Philos from the Philos family. I'm sure you've heard of my name." The man's voice was low, but with a hint of exaggeration.
Kalina knew that Li Lin rarely paid attention to news from the outside world, and he had just returned to Piltover. She was worried that he didn't know Yabus, so she quickly added:
"Yabs is currently the person in charge of the Firoz family's foreign investment affairs. He has made huge profits from every investment and has never suffered a loss. He is deeply trusted by the head of the Stevan family.
"When Jayce was researching the Hextech Flygate, he caught the attention of Yabus, who also provided him with a large sponsorship."
Just as I expected...
Li Lin nodded. After listening to Kalina's description, he knew why these people came.
"Happy Evolution Day, Mr. Ferros."
"Hmm~~ You too." Yabusi rubbed his beard and raised his chin slightly. "Just call me Yabusi. I'll call you Li Lin directly, how about that?"
Li Lin saw from the corner of his eye that the other family representatives had surprised expressions on their faces, as if they were very surprised by Yabus's attitude.
It seems that in addition to the name of the Philos family, Yabus also has a great influence on the major families.
Judging from his current attitude towards me, I think he values me very much.
Li Lin extended his hand and shook hands with Yabusi, with a polite smile on his face: "Of course, Yabusi."
"Hmm~~ I don't think you're the type to talk nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point."
Yabus chuckled, glanced back at the people from other families, then retracted his gaze and looked at Li Lin again, with the corners of his mouth raised high and an exaggerated expression.
"We are very interested in your armor. Are you willing to accept our investment?"

I did some calculations based on the official map. Based on a medieval wooden ship traveling at 30 kilometers per hour, the scale of the Alliance's main universe map is roughly 1:360 kilometers. The Twin Cities are roughly one centimeter on the map, which translates to roughly the size of a province in real life. Furthermore, the official illustrations show the upper city of Zaun extending to Piltover at least several hundred meters deep, with the middle and lower levels also at least several thousand meters deep. The Twin Cities in the main universe aren't small at all; the anime's depiction is woefully poor.
