The Hydra, one of the few high-end taverns in Upper Bilgewater.
The name comes from one of the monstrous sea monsters that was subdued by Namapolos in the legend of the Bajau people, but this resounding name is fully highlighted in this tavern with rich decoration and elegant atmosphere.
The tavern was booked by Sarah in the name of "Miss Fortune". In the entire tavern, there was only one man with an unattractive appearance and dark skin. Few people knew that he was Sarah's most trusted first mate. Even the owner was driven away.
Bilgewater is about to turn upside down.
Li Lin and Sarah sat in the "private room" on the second floor, which was the most expensive room in the Hydra Tavern.
Planck was tied up with nanorope and thrown aside casually like a dead sea monster.
Sarah looked a little hesitant, glancing at her enemy from time to time, but most of the time her eyes stayed on the man in front of her.
"Li Lin of the Jiraman family... No, I should call you the Speaker of Piltover now."
She lifted her hair from her face, her tone calm and her expression solemn, without any of the "flirting" look she had in front of outsiders.
That was just her disguise to outsiders, just to lower Gangplank's vigilance.
But she never expected that the plan she had been planning for almost ten years would be easily solved by the man in front of her...
"I received a letter from your mechanical engineer earlier." Sarah pursed her lips and asked directly, "What do you want?"
that power?
Li Lin had previously directly overthrown Piltover's parliamentary system. Now he has become the speaker in name only, and the actual controller of the two cities in private.
According to some people from Demacia, he helped Demacia survive the civil strife, became an honorable duke, and enjoyed the treatment of a royal member.
Not only that, in Shurima, the man in front of him also has a good relationship with the reborn ascended emperor Azir. There are also rumors that Azir's descendant, the current Shurima princess, is his mistress.
wealth?
With the support of Piltover and Zaun, and the sponsorship of the King of Demacia and the Emperor of Shurima, how could the man in front of him possibly be interested in the economic benefits brought by Bilgewater?
You have to know the wealth here. Although the trade of giant sea beasts at the slaughter dock has spawned many lucrative industries, it only accounts for a small part compared to the overall "income".
This is a city-state where pirates are rampant. Everything here is plundered. The exchange rate between Golden Kraken and Golden Hex is low, so it is impossible for him to get any gold coins.
There's only one left...
Sarah covered her chest with her hands without leaving any trace, and sat up straight in an unnatural manner, with the melancholy in her eyes becoming even more intense.
Knowing my identity and that I had a grudge against Gangplank, he handed him over to me to be executed and made me the new empress of Bilgewater.
Isn't the intention obvious?
Although Sarah had used the "honey trap" to seduce other captains in the past, she had never had a substantial relationship with anyone.
Even if someone touched her hand, she would chop off the other person's "claw" that touched her.
To get to the top in Bilgewater, you need to be a "vase" without any real ability.
The reason why Sarah's status here can rise rapidly is naturally related to her hard power that exceeds that of ordinary bounty hunters.
The dense scars on her body, where even after using special potions, traces of marks can still be seen, explain the situation.
Li Lin watched in surprise as Sarah's expression changed and she stared at him with an inexplicable strange look. Suddenly, an idea emerged in his mind:
Could she have misunderstood something?
Li Lin looked strange, "Please don't misunderstand me, Miss Fortune."
Misunderstand?
Sarah raised an eyebrow.
“Sarah Fortune is dead, she died in the fire ten years ago. Now there is only Sarah Doom.
"But what do you mean by misunderstanding?"
"How should I put it? If you think I'm coming for you, then it's true, but not in the way you imagined." Li Lin cleared his throat and explained slowly.
His letter to Sarah explained his intention to establish a league of heroes, but he didn't mention helping her unify Bilgewater today.
She was understandably surprised and suspicious.
"I want to establish a League of Legends. I need a stable Bilgewater, not a chaotic city-state ruled by pirates."
"Then why choose me?" Sarah still felt that Li Lin had ulterior motives.
"Because no one is more suitable than you, Sarah Fortune." Li Lin smiled slightly, "You don't need to hide your name anymore. Fortune sounds much better than Doom."
Sarah didn't continue to correct the argument about her last name, as the man in front of her still didn't make his point clear.
"Although Gangplank is lawless and not suited to being a puppet, there are so many people in Bilgewater who would be willing to be your puppet. Why did you choose me?"
Sarah's expression was serious, and she chose to speak frankly. "You know I can't possibly submit to you. If I were to take charge of Bilgewater, I wouldn't be your puppet!"
"So, I've told you many times that this is a misunderstanding, Sarah."
Li Lin shook his head.
"I'm not interested in Bilgewater. What I'm pursuing is that the League of Legends we've formed together can protect humanity's last line of defense in the future disaster that sweeps the world."
"Like the Harrowing?" Sarah laughed self-deprecatingly. "I've seen Gangplank fend off the Harrowing. He's a veteran, but I wouldn't be able to do it with such swiftness and determination."
