"Silko, I don't remember inviting you."
Fandel didn't care about the conflict between Li Lin and the alchemist barons. He stood up from his chair and faced Hillco with a wary look.
He still remembers clearly what happened a month ago.
He had originally suppressed the anger of his subordinates and had no intention of settling the score with Hilco.
Unexpectedly, this guy came to my door today...
No, it's also possible that Finn and his group invited them here.
Then, with a gloomy face, Fandel turned to Finn and asked, "Have you defected to Hilko?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would go to him?" Finn had already put down the pistol in his hand and said with an unhappy look on his face.
Li Lin was also surprised by Hilco's sudden intervention.
He could tell that Hilco's sudden intrusion didn't seem to be intended to cause trouble.
Otherwise, he could have used the Glimmer Potion to create a few more monsters to attack here, instead of choosing to come here in person and risk being beaten or even killed by Vandel's men.
"Silko, you are not welcome here." Vandel had already taken an offensive and defensive stance and warned again.
After suffering a loss last time, he knew that he had to strike first to subdue this guy when facing Hilco again.
Otherwise, who knows what monster might jump out from somewhere and cause trouble.
"Hey, don't get excited. I'm not here for you."
"What……"
Hilko waved at Vandel, ignoring him and not approaching him.
Then, Hilco walked around Voss, Rennie and Barritt and came behind Finn at the other end of the long table.
"What are you doing, Hilco?"
Finn felt his scalp tingling. He quickly gripped the gun in his hand and turned around, not daring to turn his back to him.
Hilco is an old venomous snake, who knows what he might do...
"I haven't seen my old friend for many years, and he's so hostile to me right away. It really hurts me." Hilco's tone was calm, without any emotion.
"We are discussing business..."
Finn was interrupted by Hilco as soon as he opened his mouth to say: "Of course I know you are talking about serious matters. That's why I came here."
Renni on the side and Longfellow opposite her opened their mouths, but not a word came out.
Barritt and Bonnie even lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
It can be seen that compared to the gentle Fandel, the four of them are more afraid of the more cold-blooded and cruel Hilko.
"So you are the famous Hilco," Mrs. Worth interrupted.
After all, he was an alchemist baron who changed his career halfway, and could not compare to the five who had followed Vandel and Hillco to resist the upper city.
Voss participated in the Alchemy Baron Conference this time in order to take the opportunity to improve his status and voice.
Vandal had given up fighting and his advocacy of peace was totally at odds with her advocacy of chaos.
The only one who can compete with him in Dicheng now is Hilco.
It was just that since Hilco never saw guests, Voss had never had the chance to visit him before.
But now that he has come here, Voss must seize this opportunity.
However, Hilco didn't even look at her, as if what she had just said was nothing but air...
Mrs. Worth's face flushed until it turned the color of liver, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Lanar, who had been silent since he had just spoken, just smiled and listened to their conversation silently.
"Brothers and sisters, we once shared a common aspiration: the rise of Zaun. Everything was for Zaun. Do you remember?"
"What on earth are you up to?" Vander frowned, not understanding what Hillco was trying to say.
Hilco still ignored Fandel and continued to talk to himself, "We once resisted the Upper City, but ultimately failed... Over the past few years, I have been reflecting on what we did wrong.
"In the past two years, I thought I had found the problem, which was our lack of strength... However, his appearance made me give up this idea."
Hilco pointed at Li Lin, who had been silent ever since he activated [Overcharge] and the duration had expired, and his armor had returned to darkness.
Finn snorted coldly, "From the sound of him, he's just a young boy. Why is he wearing a suit of iron?"
"Iron lump? Haha..." Xierko shook his head and laughed twice, then glanced sideways at Li Lin.
"By the way, did I disturb you when I walked in just now? How about... you show it to him again?"
"Just tell me what your purpose is." Li Lin couldn't help but say, "We don't have the time to waste with you."
What's wrong with this guy, Hilco? Compared to the last two times we met, he's suddenly become a completely different person...
After hearing what Li Lin said, Xierke was not angry. He continued to smile and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to support you this time."
Fandel: “???”
Finn: “???”
Other Alchemy Barons: "..."
Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of the crowd, especially the alchemy barons, Hilco deliberately showed an expression of realization.
"Oh~~ I came too early. You probably don't know what he's thinking yet, right?"
He paced back and forth in the space in front of Finn, rubbing his chin.
"We wanted the Lower City to rise, to become independent, to have the strength to compete with the Upper City... but several years have passed. Have we achieved this?"
Hilko stopped and scanned the faces of the alchemist barons and Vandel with his slightly narrowed right eye.
