Camille was surprised by Li Lin's words, "Why..."
When she asked this question, she realized that the rhythm of the conversation had been completely controlled by the other party since he asked the first question.
This was a situation she had never encountered since she underwent heart replacement surgery and completely transformed into the Gray Lady.
The Gray Lady strolling in the gray haze.
Almost everyone who knew her name was terrified when they heard the sound of sharp metal blades hitting the floor.
Even the MPs are no exception.
But Li Lin's performance from beginning to end was beyond her expectations.
Especially the last word "rejection".
Li Lin looked at Camille, whose expression changed slightly, and shook his head with a polite smile. "What do you think Patriarch Stevan really wants?"
"What do you mean by that?" Camille frowned, her tone slightly unhappy. "Didn't you just tell me his purpose?"
"Hmm... let me guess." Li Lin continued to talk to himself, "To become someone like you, to work hand in hand with you to lead the family to prosperity, to set his sights on the Valoran continent, and even to the entire Runeterra, right?"
"I never said that." A serious look flashed across Camille's face.
At this moment, she really wanted to question Li Lin: Did you install a camera in my house?!
Unfortunately, she couldn't say such words.
Because this implicitly acknowledges that Li Lin's "guess" is exactly the same as what Stevan had said to himself before.
Moreover, Lanxun Manor is located on the outskirts of the city, with no other residents around, and is usually heavily guarded.
Once a person or a "mechanical creation" approaches, it will be easily discovered.
Li Lin knew Camille very well. After all, in the game before he crossed over, Shen was one of his favorite heroes to play.
As a "life mentor", she had many words that inspired Li Lin.
As a player who likes to look at the world settings and backgrounds of various games, Camille's story naturally attracted him.
Stevan still has sibling feelings for Camille, but they cannot overcome his desire for immortality.
In the original world line, since he couldn't find a technician who could make a Hextech core, he set his sights on his own sister, whom he had transformed for decades.
He sent people to set a trap for Camille and launched a surprise attack when she was off guard.
If Stevan and his stupid subordinates had not greatly underestimated Camille's combat effectiveness under the amplification of the Hextech Core, the future ruler of Piltover would not be the Grey Lady, but the openly Ferros family.
In fact, Camille also knew that her brother had bad intentions, but the humanity in her heart stopped her from erasing her only "weakness".
Stevan is about to die. According to the tradition of the Philos family, Camille, as a spy who serves the family and is loyal to the family, should have reminded Stevan to abdicate long ago.
In the last few years of Stevan's decadent and corrupt life, Camille, not wanting to lose her brother, continued to support him unconditionally, enduring his vicious schemes and evil intentions, and doing dark and shady things that could have been resolved in a more harmonious way.
Camille doesn't realize this yet because she hasn't been betrayed by Stevan and hasn't completely fallen out with him.
Li Lin is different. He wants to warn Camille that Stevan is an ambitious guy.
Although it may not be of much use to her now, she is a smart person and lived for another eighty or ninety years.
Just based on the experience she gained from her long life, even if she is angry now, she will definitely figure it out later.
"Please forgive my impoliteness and bluntness. What I really want to ask is, do you think your brother's thoughts are really that simple?"
Camille opened her mouth to refute, but Li Lin didn't give her a chance to speak. "Don't be so quick to question me. As siblings who have lived together for decades, I believe you understand Stevan and what he has done in the past..."
"That's why I want to ask, do you think your brother's ideas are really that simple?"
Camille frowned and remained silent for a few seconds, then snorted coldly, not ready to be led by Li Lin anymore.
"I don't care what kind of person he is. Putting aside the fact that he's my brother, he's the current head of the Philos family, in charge of all matters, big and small, of the family.
"No matter what the decision is, he has his own judgment. What I need to do is not to question his orders, but to figure out how to complete my mission... Everyone has their own position. If you forget yourself, it will be dangerous."
The blue-green light in Camille's eyes flickered. She raised her chin slightly and stared at Li Lin with a disdainful look, her tone full of warning.
However, Li Lin was not afraid of her threats now, and he still kept a calm smile. "But as far as I know, your mission is not to serve the head of the Philos family, but the Philos family?"
Camille was choked by Li Lin, and lowered her right leg from her left leg. She sat up straight, her eyes slightly narrowed, "It seems that you know a lot about the Ferros family..."
"I don't deserve it... Lanxun Manor is well-known in the Twin Cities, and the family motto of the Ferros family can be easily found out."
Li Lin paused, then smiled and recited the words Camille knew by heart: "Family comes first, I will serve loyally, without falsehood or concealment.
"I pledge this with all my heart, soul, and body...
"Well, it's similar to the oath of the Gilaman family, but the Gilaman family's oath is not so strict, especially for an outsider like me who joins as an apprentice craftsman or technician."
Li Lin stood up and poured a cup of tea for himself and Camille respectively, then sat back in his chair with his own cup, leaned back, crossed his legs, and slowly savored the tea aroma in his mouth.
