"You go up first and help me delay the time. Wait for me for a moment." With that, Li Lin walked straight to the waiting room.
Jace stared at Li Lin's departing back for a moment.
By the time he realized what was happening, Li Lin had already walked away. "Hey! It's already this late, where are you going?"
He was just about to catch up and call out to Li Lin when the host on the stage came over and urged them to go on stage.
Jace gritted his teeth and walked onto the stage by himself.
Feeling the surprised and puzzled looks of Karina, Elro, Caitlin and even Mel in the audience, his already nervous mood became even more restrained, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead and temples.
This guy Li Lin...isn't he the kind of person who usually fails to deliver at critical moments?
What is he doing?
Jace walked to the podium in front of the stage, placed the manuscript on the table, tapped the microphone lightly, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, hello everyone, my name is Jace Tallis, currently sponsored by the Gilaman family."
As soon as he started speaking, the audience began to whisper to each other, as if wondering where the "Li Lin" the host was talking about, the one they cared about the most, was.
Li Lin!
You really hurt me so much!
Jace took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, forced a smile on his face, and deliberately did not mention Li Lin's whereabouts.
“This is my first time giving a speech at such a grand occasion. I hope you will forgive me if there are any inconveniences.
“Many of you may have heard of my name. After all, I have invented many strange and bizarre things in the past ten years.
"For example, a wrench that can turn into a crowbar, a pickaxe that can turn into a shovel, and many prototype tools of Hextech..."
Jace glanced at his mother sitting next to Karina and Elro. Seeing her relieved and encouraging expression, he felt much more relaxed and his tone became much calmer.
"I actually come from an ordinary family. My family's factory makes hammers. The floor under your feet was probably hammered out with my hammers..."
While he was chatting awkwardly, he was urging Li Lin in his heart.
Originally, according to Kalina's arrangement and the proportion of speeches in the manuscript, Li Lin was supposed to speak the opening remarks and most of the time. He was just there to "make up the numbers" and only needed to focus on introducing the principles and prospects of the Hextech flying door to everyone later.
But Li Lin's action disrupted all the plans, and Jace didn't know how to proceed.
Fortunately, Li Lin didn't embarrass him for too long.
Just as Jace was looking at his speech, he was worried about what to say next.
There was a buzzing sound of energy penetrating the air, and then a figure wearing blue-black armor and a six- to seven-meter-tall humanoid mecha flew over the audience seats, then dropped from the sky and landed steadily on the front stand.
"Li Lin?!"
Jace and everyone in the audience were stunned. They didn't expect him to make such a grand entrance.
There was silence for two or three seconds. Jess was the first to react. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted into the microphone:
"Let us welcome today's protagonist, Li Lin!"
