Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 124 122 Bloody Lady

Hearing Stevan's words, Camille's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Noxus wants to deepen its grip on Piltover?Is it because Ixtar's intervention made Noxus feel uneasy and wanted to abolish Piltover's neutral status?

Thinking of this, Camille also simply asked: "What happened, tell me in detail."

"Because of Ixtar."

Just as Camille thought, Stevan said excitedly:
"Ixtar's visit has caught the attention of Noxus! Those connections that were previously monopolized by the Mirdar family are now actively contacting us!"

"With the addition of Noxus, the Philos family will also get rid of the shackles of the Myrdal family! With our development of Hex technology, it won't take long for the entire Piltover to become our back garden!"

Hearing what Stevan said, Camille nodded thoughtfully.

Just like Stevan said, even though the Philos family has lost its absolute monopoly on Hex crystals, relying on the first-mover advantage, the Philos family is still in the leading position in Hex technology.

But Piltover is not as publicized that wisdom and invention can change a person's life.

In order to ensure the advantage of the Philos family, Camille did a lot of dirty work.Assassination, threats, sabotage, espionage... Camille knows better than anyone how the Philos family came to this point.

It is undeniable that the Ferros family suffered a lot because they did not have a strong enough backer.The most obvious of these is the employment of artisans in Hextech.

Compared with the Philos family, the other four major families have worked hard to suppress the expansion and growth of the Philos family...

And now, will they really sit back and watch their advantages become part of the Ferros family?
Thinking about it, Camille narrowed his eyes and asked simply: "So, what is the price?"

"Expel Ixtar!"

Stevan said with some excitement:

"This is a no-cost business at all! Sister! We don't need to hesitate anymore! Because even if we don't agree, the other three families will choose to expel them in order to gain the support of Noxus!"

"And now, we simply nod and stand with them. We don't even need to do it ourselves, Noxus will help us wipe out the Ixtars!"

It was said that Camille did not fall silent like Stevan.Similarly, Camille did not refute——

Before allegiance to Yuanchen, Camille knew very well that he was first and foremost a spy of the Philos family. ,

For the sake of the family, Camille is willing to pledge allegiance to anyone.As the saying goes, there is nothing in this world that cannot be traded.But even if it's just a simple comparison, Camille doesn't think it's a good thing to cooperate with Noxus.

At least... Camille doesn't think Noxus is worth more than Yuan Chen.

Thinking about it, Camille looked at Stevan and said calmly, "What about the foundation of the family?"

"……What's the meaning?"

Hearing Camille's words, Stevan was also slightly taken aback.

"Hex raw stone vein." Camille said:

"More than 90.00% of the raw hex crystals originate from the north of the Kumanggu Mountains, and according to the exploration of the explorers, the closer the ore veins of the raw hex crystals are to "Ancient Ixtar", the more they will be, and the higher the quality will be.

This is also an important reason why the Philos family never gave up on the development of the Ixtar jungle from the beginning to the end. "

"Without the supply of Hex rough stones and the foundation of the family, how will we deal with ourselves?"

Camille looked at his younger brother with a little hatred in his eyes:

"Relying on being a dog for Noxus? Or picking up the leftovers of the Mirdal family?"

On the surface, Piltover is a city-state controlled by various chaebols and families.But in fact, the four major families divided up everything in Piltover from various angles.

The Myrdaldas, the Kewolds, the Abinos, the Philos.These four families represent trade, industry, art (culture), and the technology mastered by the Philos family...or, "the future".

"The artificial Hex crystals at this stage are far inferior to the original Hex crystals under the purification process in terms of size and purity.

The Philos family has mastered more than 90.00% of the ore veins of the raw Hex crystals, and 90.00% of them originated from the north of the Kumangu Mountains. "

"Abandoning the advantages that the Philos family relied on for survival in exchange for the meager support of the Noxus? Stevan, if this is what you think after careful consideration, then I am deeply disappointed."

"No!" Hearing this, Stevan's complexion changed, and he argued with reason:
"With support from Noxus! We will no longer be controlled by those three families! We will be on the same starting line—"

"We're going to lose the edge we need to survive."

Looking at Stevan in front of him, Camille had a little indifference in his eyes:
"There is no difference between having everything and having nothing! Value is the most important thing!"

"The value of the Philos family comes from Hex technology! Without this feature, what is the difference between the Philos family and other families? A dog that can be replaced at any time?"

"Are you too old to tell such things apart? My brother?"

Hearing Camille's words, Stevan wanted to argue at first, but when he heard Camille's words "so old that I can't tell the difference between such things", he was unwilling to sit on the chair and grabbed the lapel of his chest with his palms.

His eyes were full of anger, and the old face was full of angry blood vessels, and the pale and loose skin also showed a sick flush.

"Yeah! I'm old! Of course I'm old! Because you are the one who received the enhanced transformation!"

Stevan gritted his teeth angrily, and a pair of dry hands fell on the chair, clenched the joints and creaked.

"Because you are a so-called secret agent! My patriarch will be ranked after you! But the result? This heart is the only one! Your strength is not because of your spirit or some shit! It's because your parents chose to let you undergo augmentation surgery!"

Stevan was obviously driven to the extreme by the phrase "old".

"I hate all of this! Why didn't I have the plastic surgery at the beginning! I can do better!"

"Do you know! Whenever you walk up and down in front of my eyes! Whenever I see those children walking up and down in front of my eyes, I feel a great sense of ridicule! It seems that everyone is reminding me of my disability!"

"And now, I won't wait like this any longer!"

While saying this, under Camille's staring eyes suddenly, Stevan threw away the sheepskin blanket covering his knees.Although a little rusty and weak, Stevan still stood up tenaciously.

Supporting the table, Stevan was also briefly taken aback.After a while, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he said:

"That's right! They're right! It works! I can finally get rid of this nasty chair!"

In speaking, Stevan didn't have the slightest elegance as the head of the Philos family. Instead, he turned around and without hesitation raised his chair and threw it aside.

Perhaps it was because the lower limbs had just recovered, so Stevan's control was not very good.With just a simple movement, he almost fell to the ground.

But even so, after regaining his center of gravity, Stevan still kicked the chair away, with his arms propped on the table, his eyes flushed with excitement:

"The Countess is right! I don't need to stay in a chair anymore! I don't need to be manipulated around like a useless person anymore! I am the head of this family! Noxus is the future of Philos!"

Hearing Stevan's words, Camille's eyes flashed sternly.Immediately afterwards, he walked forward and grabbed one of Stevan's arms without saying a word.

The palm fell on Stevan's wrist, feeling the pulse full of vitality, and Camille's eyes showed a puzzlement——

Obviously, the age spots have already crawled on the face, why is the current Stevan only 40 years old in terms of physical characteristics? !

Although 40 years old is not too young, but compared to Stevan's previous 70 years old, he is already much younger!

"What happened? What a deal you made with Noxus!"

Hearing Camille's question, Stevan also sneered, and then shook off Camille's palm without hesitation, his eyes widened, his eyes were bloodshot and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't need the so-called Hex Heart anymore... Even if I don't have a Hex Heart, I can still usher in a new life!"

Camille didn't care about this, but just kept thinking about what made Stevan become what he is now.

After a while, Camille's eyes revealed a hint of enlightenment.

"Blood magic...is the Scarlet Secret Society!!"

Hearing Camille's words, Stevan also showed a smug smile on his face:

"That's right! It's the Scarlet Secret Society! The bloody baroness of the Scarlet Secret Society personally presided over my blood exchange ceremony! Even without Hex technology, I can still rejuvenate, have a young body, and an immortal life!"

Hearing this, Camille also narrowed her eyes solemnly.

The Bloody Lady, Pharis Noradi.The well-known commander-in-chief of Noxus, the Dark Legion under his command scares the kingdoms of Valoran with its pervasive infiltration capabilities and brutal and ruthless combat methods.

And her own ability is just like her title, which is derived from the blood magic of the classical era - the legend is derived from the powerful power of the darkborn.

But compared to this...

Looking at Stevan, looking at the physical level of the other party who has returned to his prime, Camille knew that this was Stevan's reward at the price of family loyalty——

"You betrayed the family!"
